Thinking of sex

Is something most people do

How often might depend on many things

If we are married, in relationship, out of relationship, single, lonely, looking at someone attractive and so on

One of the most common is to imagine an exciting sexual experience

Whether we are male or female the idea of exciting sex is most appealing

Judging by the amount of porno on line, in bookshops and generally available sex is rampant

Sex dominates much of our advertising and marketing even for products as mundane as pipes and fittings

Most animals have seasons when they are sexually active, not so humans who are often driven by sex for much of their lives

While many might say so what, one thought might be interesting

Sex gets in the way of increasing our consciousness

And consciousness evolution is the true reason that we are here on Planet Earth

Sex keeps our evolution at a basic level, fixed below our navels if you will

For those who want to grow sex is not helpful

Not talking about abstinence or anything fanatical

Just saying that sexual fixation or preoccupation is not helpful when we decide to grow

Why?

Because controlling our minds and brains is the first step in moving beyond being driven by sexual desires

Controlling our minds is not possible if sex controls us

So here's a thought if sex dominates you

Then look at your life and be honest as to what is so exciting

Is it the idea of the act itself?

Unless you pay a prostitute it is seldom free

Sound contradictory

Not really with a prostitute you pay for the service and walk away

No such thing with most sexual encounters there is always a cost be it emotional or in terms of expectations on either one or the other side

The point?

Look beyond the sexual arousal, see beyond the physical figure and observe the person, the human being

When we do this then often we see that sex is not so desirable

Do you really want to be involved with this person?

If you are honest then often the answer is not really thank you

Look at the person not the body

Look at the character

Slowly you will observe that sex is not such a great idea in many cases

Not such an interesting use of our time and energy

So what is interesting to use our time and energy for then?

Moving into areas where we have never been

Trying to understand what life is all about

And the first step on this journey is to control our mind and emotions

Moving beyond "I want"

Time then to think about controlling mind because this is the only way to move further

Why?

Because the movement beyond mind is more rewarding and interesting than any sex you have ever had

Well most anyway

So simply stated the journey of human evolution is in moving beyond physical or mental desires into the realm of higher consciousness

The realm where so many more interesting possibilities exist

Sex is transitory higher consciousness is not
