All language subtitles for Sacred Sexuality, Episode One The Purpose of Love.en

[Music]

Sex is the foundation of life.

[Music]

Only sex can create a human being.

[Music]

Through hormones and glands, sex powers

our growth and development.

[Music]

The sexual drive is the most powerful

influence in our life.

[Music]

Sexual power creates everything about us,

not only physically, but

psychologically and spiritually.

The nature of the sexual power is to

create, but what it creates

depends upon how we use it.

A holy person is the outcome

of their use of sexual power.

A degenerated person is the result of

their use of sexual power.

Our sexual power can enlighten and

awaken, or it can corrupt and destroy.

How we use our sexual power today

determines who we are

and who we are becoming.

This is why so many myths and religions

hide a secret about sex.

It is time for humanity to know it.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Creation is always sexual.

This truth is hidden in every religion

and is written in the first three words

of the Bible and Torah.

People believe these words mean "in the

beginning God created," but that is not

what is written in Hebrew.

If Moses had wanted to indicate a single

masculine God the way

many people think of God,

he would have written the

word "El," but he did not.

He wrote the word

"Elohim," which is plural.

The word "El" is god,

singular, masculine.

"Elah" is goddess.

They form Elohim,

god and goddess, together.

So the first three words of

the Bible and Torah actually say,

"In the beginning

god and goddess create."

This is why the Talmud describes the

famous Ark of the Covenant as having two

golden beings in a sexual embrace.

When the Israelites would ascend to the

Holy Temple on the festival,

the priest would roll up the curtain for

them and display for them the Ark

with the cherubim who were joined together

as a man joined in an

embrace with his female companion.

The famous Ark was kept hidden because it

displayed the same imagery

as the gods and goddesses of other great

religions, male and

female, united to create.

This is the secret that was hidden in the

heart of all great religions and myths,

a secret knowledge of terrific power,

preserved only for those who proved

they would use it wisely.

[Music]

It is the secret of how to

be born in a superior kingdom.

[Music]

Birth in a superior kingdom requires a

superior sexual act,

conscious transformation of matter and

energy into a higher form.

To understand that superior sexual act,

first we need to understand

something about ourselves,

how we arrived at the

condition we are in today.

We are alive because of sex.

Without sex, life would not exist, not

our own or the planet.

In our case, our parents had sex and our

consciousness entered

into energy and matter.

Then things began to change.

Science calls this change evolution, a

gradual process in

which something changes

into a different and usually

more complex or better form.

Our physical body

started as a sperm and an egg.

When they joined, they began to produce

something new, something different,

and that is a type of evolution, a simple

thing becoming something more complex.

There is no doubt that

evolution is a law of nature.

Yet everything in mechanical nature is

bound by a simple cycle.

Evolution is always

followed by devolution.

In mechanical nature, everything that

evolves will also devolve.

Everything that is born will die.

There is nothing in mechanical nature

that continually improves forever.

A tree produces millions of seeds, but

only a few will grow.

Even fewer will reach the peak of

development where the full potential of

the tree is expressed.

And once that peak is reached, it is not

sustained very long

before its decline begins

and its elements are

returned back to nature.

This is how mechanical nature works.

We are no exception.

From uncountable seeds, only a few

experience birth,

childhood, youth, adulthood,

then decline into old age and die.

In the course of a lifetime,

our bodies evolve and devolve.

This is true of everything in mechanical

nature, from atoms to galaxies.

Evolution is characterized by

improvement, the increase

of beauty, harmony, freedom.

Evolution makes things better.

Devolution is characterized by decline,

degeneration,

disunity, confusion, conflict.

Devolution breaks things

down and always leads to death.

Evolution and devolution are

two sides of the same wheel.

They cannot be

separated from one another.

The cycles of evolution and devolution

are easy to observe.

Everywhere we look, we see matter and

energy evolving and devolving.

What we do not see is why.

Truly, that is the

most profound question.

Why are we alive?

[baby crying]

During our first seven years, our

creative power rapidly develops our body.

We are impelled by the need to understand

how to use our physical body.

Around age seven, the

body continues to develop,

but the greatest development occurs in

our intellectual brain.

We learn easily and rapidly.

Our urge is to understand

intellectually, conceptually,

and the question begins to emerge.

Who am I and what is my purpose?

Around age 14, our vitality changes focus

to our emotional center

and our sexual power.

We become inflamed with a new urgency to

know what love is and

what it is to be loved.

We seek friends, relationships, emotional

connections, and of course, sex.

We sense that in emotional connections

and sex, we will find fulfillment,

purpose, and our identity.

Throughout these phases of our growth and

development, we also

create a personality,

the interface between

our inner and outer worlds.

A personality is the image we project of

our identity through the way

we talk, dress, and behave.

We create the

personality by imitating others,

and we modify it from situation to

situation in order to be

accepted, to fit in, to survive.

As our circumstances

change, we adapt our personality.

It is a mask that we wear.

By the age of 21 or so, our body,

intellect, heart, and

personality are developed,

and a new, much longer phase begins, in

which we truly must define ourselves.

The urgency we feel

becomes most acute, even painful.

Who am I? What is my purpose?

What do I do with my life?

Unfortunately, society does not help us

answer these fundamental questions.

We may be told what we should be, and we

may be given examples to imitate,

but it is very rare for someone to

discover who they truly are.

Most people are compelled by instinct to

procreate, to reproduce the species,

and find themselves in

lives that are going nowhere.

Relationships and sex bring only fleeting

pleasure instead of lasting fulfillment.

They drift through their lives, decade

after decade, repeating the

same mistakes and problems,

chasing after desires that are never

satisfied, and ultimately die

without ever having

discovered their purpose in life.

And that is because everyone is looking

in the wrong places.

From birth to adulthood, cause and effect

develop our body, heart,

intellect, and personality.

None of these are our real

identity, our true nature.

Each are temporary shells, made during

our brief lifetime, that our

consciousness resides within.

When we die, our

consciousness leaves them all behind.

Our true identity is only found within

the consciousness, and that is not

developed by mechanical nature.

Rather, it is trapped

in mechanical nature.

What do we mean by mechanical nature?

It is that level of manifested existence,

characterized by repeating cycles.

In Asian traditions, this is known by the

word samsara, which

means "circling, repeating."

Samsara is evolution and devolution.

Plants, animals, and humanoids are born,

survive briefly, reproduce, and die.

After death, the consciousness is

propelled by cause and effect,

bound to the consequences of its previous

actions, and it returns into a new body,

to repeat the same sufferings again.

All of us are trapped in the wheels of a

great machine that

grinds on, repeating itself.

From the point of view of nature, our

only purpose is to feed the wheel.

Observed from such a distant perspective,

our individual lives and needs

seem very insignificant.

To be born,

to grow,

to work hard in order to live,

to reproduce oneself like an animal,

and then left alone

and old, waiting to die.

To repeat the same patterns

day in and day out,

the same circles repeated by our

parents and grandparents,

and to propel our children into the same

repeating patterns,

is all just a chain

of suffering without real purpose.

If that is all life is,

it is not worth living.

Fortunately, there is a purpose to life.

[Music]

Each of us has tremendous significance

because each of us has a seed inside

a seed of conscious nature.

What is conscious nature?

It is that level of nature

that is not bound

by the cycles of evolution and devolution.

[Music]

Within us, it is conscious will.

[Music]

The purpose of human life

is to develop it.

[Music]

[Music]

Conscious will

is our ability to choose and act.

It is the very essence of individuality.

[Music]

[Music]

When our conscious will is

fully developed,

and united with divine will,

[Music]

the result is a human being

with terrific power:

power over nature,

and especially power over oneself.

[Music]

Conscious will is not

mechanical, automatic.

It does not follow animal instincts, or

the impulses of mechanical nature,

or imitate what others are doing.

It does not reason intellectually,

or act solely on emotion.

Instead, conscious will acts from the

conscience, our innate

sense of right and wrong.

[Music]

Our conscience is a

seed of something greater.

In all of our mythologies, we have heard

about heroes, Buddhas, masters, people

who became something more

than the average person.

They acquired knowledge and abilities

that are far beyond our own.

They embodied all of the greatest

qualities of the human being,

the most profound of which

is selfless love, compassion.

[Music]

Such people are not created by mechanical

nature, accident, genetics,

or by the whim of some God.

They are not created by beliefs or by

evolution, but by conscious will acting

in harmony with superior laws.

All living things are born from sex.

Yet each living thing has its own form of

sexual reproduction.

Divine beings are born of a divine sexual

reproduction, a form of

conscious will, purity, and love.

Our consciousness is a seed that can

become divine if we know how to grow it.

For that, we need a

special kind of sexual act.

The stark reality is

that very few will do it.

From the billions of human seeds that

nature scatters on the fields of life,

very few reach their full development.

Most simply do not care.

A scarce few are driven with longing to

know their purpose and the longing for

spiritual knowledge.

Even fewer learn to master the power that

can develop the consciousness,

since it is hidden in the most persistent

urgency we feel throughout our life, the

urgency to experience love and sex.

[Music]

[Music]

When someone is in love, they radiate all

of their best qualities. They are noble,

charitable, helpful, generous.

[Music]

Love is a powerful energy that flows

within our heart, stimulating the

endocrine glands, which produce hormones

that fill us with vitality.

In ancient Greece, the word hormone meant

"that which sets in motion."

[Music]

Even an older person who falls in love

becomes vibrant, radiant.

Their endocrine glands produce abundant

hormones which revitalize them.

Indeed, love truly revitalizes. Love

awakens all of our best qualities.

When human beings are truly in love, they

become intuitive,

mystical, kind, patient.

Poets and singers have always dreamed of

love, but few have known that love is a

cosmic force that surges

in the depths of every atom,

in every creature that lives, and even in

the center of every galaxy. All of life

is propelled by love.

It is an extraordinary force of nature

that, properly used, can perform miracles

and wonders like those of Jesus, whose

first miracle was at a wedding.

The force of love enraptures the core of

our being. It sweeps our entire mind into

a new way of seeing

and experiencing life.

Within us, we have electrical and

magnetic forces that attract and repel.

Between lovers, that magnetic force is

very powerful, and its action has a

far-reaching effect.

[Music]

Every great religion is filled with myths

and images of love and sex, and all

consider sex and marriage sacred.

Yet none have explained why.

[Music]

When we study the power of love, we sense

that within sex there might be something

extraordinary, something that can

transform us radically.

It is logical that if love can transform

us, then sex must also.

Yet if love and sex have so much power,

then why do we continue to suffer? Why

does genuine happiness

continue to evade us?

The answers to these questions are right

before our eyes, if we know how to look.

[Music]

The basis of the Western religions is a

story of love and sex.

It is the story of Adam and Eve in the

garden called Eden, where they were

innocent and happy, and

knew divinity face-to-face.

The characters and places of the

Scriptures have many levels of meaning.

Eden, for instance, can refer to a place,

but more importantly, it

refers to a state of being.

The Hebrew word Eden

literally means bliss, happiness.

It describes our fundamental nature,

innocent, happy, content, and able to

perceive divinity

consciously, effortlessly,

just as you are using

your eyes and ears right now.

The nakedness of Adam and Eve symbolize

their innocence, their purity. A baby has

no shame, no cause for embarrassment,

because it is pure and innocent.

We still have that inner purity and

innocence. It is our true nature. Some

call it soul, jiva, or Buddha nature.

The modern term is consciousness. The

consciousness is our base awareness,

present before thought,

emotion, or sensation.

Consciousness is the basis of being

alive. When unconditioned and awake, the

consciousness is totally

happy, content, and has no desires.

Its essential nature is love, altruism,

kindness. This is a state of Eden,

contentment, happiness, and simplicity.

And it is easily seen in children, but

becomes obscured in adults.

Adam and Eve symbolize an ancient

humanity who were pure and innocent.

They represent the pinnacle of evolution

in mechanical nature, the humanoid

creature who is merely a

seed of something greater.

For the humanoid creature to develop

itself into something more, it has to

transcend mechanical nature, the animal

nature it emerged from.

It has to develop conscious will in order

to enter into the conscious kingdoms of

nature, the paradises, heavens, nirvanas.

Those who are called gods, angels,

masters, Buddhas, are simply human beings

who have their consciousness

developed to another level.

They were once human beings like us, but

they expanded their consciousness,

developed it, perfected it, and became

capable in ways we can scarcely imagine.

We have the potential to become like

them, but that does not happen because of

beliefs. We change because

of action and consequence.

Our ancestors, characterized in the story

about Eden, were being prepared to

transcend mechanical

nature and enter a higher level.

But they failed. Instead of mastering the

power within love and sex that could

develop them into something greater, they

gave in to temptation.

They indulged in pleasure and discovered

suffering. Paradise,

Eden, happiness, was lost.

The nature of the sexual power is to

create. But what it creates

depends upon how we use it.

Our ancestors failed to listen to the

instructions from divinity. As a result,

the actions of

humanity led to devolution.

Humanity began to suffer. From generation

to generation, we have continued to make

the same mistake, and almost everyone on

earth is making the same mistake today.

That is why our society is devolving so

rapidly and is on the brink of collapse.

The moment has arrived for everyone to

know the secret power of sex. How to

harness the sexual power, to

be born in a higher kingdom.

This is the only way to escape the

devolving wheel that is accelerating to

the final moments of this humanity.

A cycle of birth and death, of evolution

and devolution that has destroyed every

previous race on this planet.

Ours will not be an exception.
