Category: Sex
Very often when you hear that someone says after the first night ‘It was really a good night, I had wonderful sex’, then they did not necessarily do anything special. It is amazing because sex itself is such a great thing. It is not the quality of the woman and the man, it is the quality of sex itself. And if the physical relation continues, the emotional relation will also develop.
But also many times you see that sex is used like a weapon. This I would also call organized crime. They made a date and organized the situation, make a whole setup so that the evening ends in the bedroom. And then they use it as a weapon by saying that after that night there has to be a relationship. Now we had sex, now you are my partner!
Actually sex is a sweet thing. When this energy flows in a natural way, without conditions and expectations, it can create a wonderful emotional relation, too. But if it is used like this it makes it dirty and people cannot even enjoy this sweetness anymore. The expectations lead to disappointment and after a few days you can hear them say ‘It did not work out’. They are ready to do a new experiment but they use the same pattern and don’t learn from the past. But sex itself can be a wonderful spiritual experience.
Today we will take our flight back to Germany again. Of course we, the family and the Ashram members are all sad that we leave. The winter started here and the temperature is a bit lower but we will have to face much more cold when we land in Germany. Thomas already told me on phone that it is snowing there. So tomorrow’s diary I will write from Wiesbaden, packed in a warm shawl and maybe socks.

In this scenario, I think it's important that people are honest with themselves about their intentions. If they want a relationship, that's fine. If they want just sex, that's also fine. But when you try to use sex to gain a relationship, you might be disappointed. And if you are honest with yourself about your intentions, then you must act upon them clearly to the other person so that they know what you are looking for. If you're looking for the same thing, then hooray! If you're not, then one of you is bound to be disappointed or hurt.

It is nice that you describe sex as a sweet thing. I hope to one day experience something like that. To me sex is a hassle that people get to worked up about and then when it finally happens it is simply nothing. Like any other thing. See it as sweet, or enjoyable is just something that some people have to work up to I suppose. One day, when I begin associating sex with love (which I don't now) I think it will be a sweet thing for me to, instead of just a hassle.

In my 13 years as a practicing psychologist, I have seen many women associate painful emotions with sex. Most of the time nothing in their case history provided an explanation for this feeling. When these women talked about sex a deep pain would overcome them. The thoughts they shared almost always had nothing to do with their own experiences but instead a collective struggle of "women". It is as if a great negative energy force suddenly possessed them. I call this collective female pain; a large body of negative thoughts that did not allow these women to enjoy or fully embrace their sexual encounters. I now go through an exercise with my female patients that have this experience. It is a type of informal meditation. It is very simple: I tell my patients to close their eyes and imagine a sexual encounter and to not feed any thought that comes into their mind by validating it or allowing it to take over for the duration of this sensory experience. Many of my patients have reported that this has helped them to enjoy sex with both long and short term sexual partners.

We harm ourselves and each other when we objectify our sexual partners; when there is ego in sex. If you use your partner for sexual pleasure without any thought of them you harm yourself. If you use your sexual partner to attach this person to your ego in the form of a relationship you harm yourself. And you will not be happy or satisfied. Sex can be a beautiful and freeing experience. Forget the rules, stay open and trust your inner voice!

Some people have the ego to think of themselves as God and want to have their picture, their shoes, a picture of their feet or even statues of themselves on altars.
SourceWhy do you strive to look the opposite of how you look like? Be yourself and love who you are. Love comes from inside, from the heart and from the soul.
SourceInsecurity and lack of self-confidence makes people search for a guru.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if people stop giving false comfort to others using his name.
SourceMaybe you are sad because you still love the other one and he or she doesn’t want to be with you but you still have to love your love! Don’t be angry with yourself for this feeling and don’t switch into hate because of this advice. It is okay to follow your heart.
SourceA woman just gave birth to a new child on this earth, the biggest miracle of nature itself – and Indian superstition calls her impure! Isn't that like a bad joke?
SourceI only follow one rule: Break one rule daily. And I believe that we need to get rid of all other rules if we want to live free and with open heart.
SourceDo what you feel is right. Yes, you may need some more courage to face a few more storms than others. It might get uncomfortable sometimes but it would be much more uncomfortable for you to go against what you really want to do.
SourcePolygamous relationships don’t really work. If you are really in love with someone, you will be jealous, you won’t be able to avoid that! If you love your partner, it is impossible!
SourceIf you think it is clothes that are responsible for rape, what were 2-year-old babies wearing when they were raped which aroused men so that he had no other possibility than raping them? Where did they go, in which bar or disco?
SourceYou can trust people only when you know them and you can only get to know them if they show what they feel. So make a start and show what you feel.
SourceSometimes you can either go left or right and there is no way in the middle. Follow your heart. No decision makes the world stand still, everything will go on, no matter which way you go.
SourceAccept your feelings, accept yourself. Only if you accept yourself you can respect yourself. Be proud of who you are and what you have inside! Each of these steps is important because only if you respect yourself you can love yourself. And only with this love to yourself you can give love to others and receive love from others. Then you are open for this universal love. Accept yourself, respect yourself and love yourself!
SourceMany people try with force and effort to keep happiness away because they want to be victims. They are always sad and hurt, no matter what happens.
SourceDharma is not religion. Dharma is the tasks that I want to do from my heart, not something that I have to do because I was born to Hindu parents.
SourceWhat does it mean if you say ‘I am not 100% vegetarian’, ‘I eat meat only when I go out’, or ‘I only eat fish’? It means you are not a vegetarian at all. You feel guilty about it. You are only eating, not killing, but someone killed for you.
SourceNo matter which Guru a follower believes, he will say his guru is the only real one, the others are all fake. They realize it is nonsense what all others say, just their own guru is allegedly able to do everything he claims.
SourceIt is wrong if a guru is not only a person to learn from but someone to worship. When people put pictures of the guru onto their altars and pray for them, when followers wash the feet of the guru and then drink the water, when gurus have their statues made and sell them and when scriptures tell people that they can only be liberated if they have a guru.
SourceSpirituality is something very personal and individual. You don’t need to connect with a sect or join a group for living your spirituality. You need deeply felt spirituality and not show-off spirituality. Be natural about your spirituality.
SourceDon't take everyone else's responsibility on your own shoulders! You cannot take it for long, your shoulders are not made for that! Be happy, that will help others and yourself!
