From a
creativity perspective,
all our actions in the world have a
conscious, subconscious and unconscious aspect. Rarely do we
have absolute clarity as to why we act in the world the way we do.
Sex and sexuality is no different.
We can always give a conscious reason for our actions. But there are
a tremendous number of
nonconscious influences that bias our
decisions of which we are never aware. More often than not, we have
much less
freedom to act that we realize. The whole enculturation
process of life is to teach us to react to life based on
subconscious programming rather than conscious awareness. This is
particularly true in the area of sexuality.
If we observe our sexuality we will find a conscious, subconscious
and unconscious aspect. The conscious part is what we think we want.
If we reflect on what we want, we can all probably create a pretty
good list of our wants and
desires. The subconscious aspect are what
we are enculturated and programmed to want because of the life we
have lived. The unconscious aspect has three parts. One part of the
unconscious is purely biological and driven by the reproductive
desires of the human as a physical being. This aspect, believe it or
not, is driven by smell. However, most of us really allow our
natural odors to drive us in this area. The other part of the
unconscious aspect is related to the
intention for our life and what we may be drawn to experience
because of that intention.
The third part arises from our
transcendental mind. We have only limited our
creative power and creative ability for the sake of having a
physical experience. We each are an
infinite creative being and never die. We may go to
sleep and awake up but never die. There is transcendental part
to our
ego that transcends the experiences of this current life. Often
they influence our sexuality and can lie separate from our
unconsciously biological needs and/or the
intention for our life. In discussing the conscious and
subconscious parts of sexuality, it may in fact be best to say there
is a enculturated or current life part and a transcendental part to
our sexuality.
The unconscious part, that is, being outside the thinking of who and
what we think we are and outside our enculturated programming,
actually plays a greater and greater role as we align with our
creative life energy and create from what is
symbolized in the heart.
Of course, the opposite is true. That is, the more we are separate
from aligning with the flow of our creative life energy the more our
sexuality is based on what the
mind thinks and/or our subconscious
and our enculturation and/or the experiences of our life. In
actuality, our conscious choices play a much smaller role than we
realize. This is way sexual advertising can be so effective. The
more we are in our
ego the greater the role of our conscious mind. The more we bow
to the needs of others and our role in our society the more we move
into our subconscious programming.
On this note, it needs to be realize most of our
ego is
nonconscious but lies on the surface of the subconscious and
quickly enters our consciousness to provide the judgments of right
and wrong, good and bad. It is just that when we are in our ego we
tend to inject more “I want” in our actions than considerations of
the needs for others.
Although there are other types of experiences, probably the most
profound experience readily available to most adults that contrasts
the difference between living through the process of the conscious
mind, subconscious mind and the unconscious mind is sex and
sexuality. That is, of course if we choose to engage in sexuality
and that immediately takes us into the conscious aspects of our
being. On this note, very few people have sex with the awareness of
their subconscious and unconscious aspects.
Sex and sexuality when experienced through the conscious and
subconscious mind or the current life mind is about “having sex” as
permitted by what we believe and enjoying the physical pleasures and
physical sensations as biologically driven. That is, we know we want
sex and we want a mate with the limits and boundaries of our beliefs
and physical
desires. In living from this perspective it is about
enjoying the physical to the extent that we believe we can. More
often than not, we want to “own” and/or control another individual
within what is permitted by society to ensure our needs are met. In
this way of living, we feel great fulfillment, joy and satisfaction
in sexuality but it is not lasting. It fulfills a need but it does
so in a transient way. Here sexuality tends to “pump up” our
identity and our
ego.
However, sex and sexuality when experienced through the subconscious
mind and unconscious mind and the
creation process is significantly
different. We feel the energy within every part of our being and we
feel the experience in every part of our being. The experience is
not centered in our body nor it is centered in the mind. Rather it
is enthused throughout our whole being and it cannot be adequately
described. We no longer have sex with another and it is not about
mating and wanting a mate. We desire to merge our entire being at
every level of our being and are more driven to allow the
required parts to annihilate. If we are not being driven to annihilate ourselves, our
sex and sexuality is based on the current life mind and its
thinking. Sexuality that arises from our
creative passion and the unconscious
desires to reunite in
wholeness and what that is done, the individual identity is
destroyed. The individual is no longer the same and we are
transformed on each level of our being. Many of us are not capable
of experiencing this level of sex/sexuality until we are somehow
betrayed, used, abused, or otherwise our interests not cared for.
In this experience we can feel the other person and know if they are
present and open to the experience or is their
mind is somewhere
else. We literally “read” them We know if they are open and
accepting or is they are blocked and restricted in some way because
of obligation, duty, unwillingness, or simply the desire to please
is dominating their actions rather then being open to the enjoyment
of the experience. Additionally, what one finds is that if an area
of their body responds to sexual stimulation it is because that area
needs what many individual’s call “spiritual” attention. That is,
there is the need to manifest the unmanifested energy that enthuses
life and a desire for living needs to be channeled into those parts
of their being represented and manifested by the part that needs
stimulation.
One reason why the sexual organs are often what needs stimulated the
most is that the individual is trying to enthuses themselves with a
feeling for life and for living in the world. However, if we are
fully capable of living life and embracing life, and we are able to
get past the sex itself, we will find other body parts need
attention in and during sexuality as much as if not more than the
sexual organs if we are going to feel internally satisfied in the
sexuality. That is there are some areas or aspects which needs an
increased energy flow and that flow of energy is an increase in life
itself. The increased blood flow brings life to that area of the body
and our being represented by that part of the body. The physical
blood flow is the direct manifestation of the increased attention
and awareness consciousness is directing into that portion of our
being.
In sexuality that arise from the deeper unconsciously levels,
physically we see only the physical response. But there is an
awareness that flow through our entire being that last long after
the fact. Additionally, there are insights and understanding that
come. When experienced through the unconscious, the sexual process
is beneficial to every level of being and can assist in creating
spiritual, mental emotional, and physical health in addition to
easing physical tension. It can treat the entire being, which
includes being used for increased awareness and opening which can be
called our psychic abilities and underlie other ability such as the
siddhis.
