Download or read book Sacred Sex written by Tim Alan Gardner and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, Christians have been told that sex is God's creation, designed by him as a gift to husbands and wives. Yet few couples actually experience sex as a spiritual, God-ordained experience. Rather than admit their lack of fulfillment, many couples hide their disappointment and confusion, while others attempt to solve the problem through better sexual technique. Unfortunately, all the advice on improved technique fails to explain the one thing that makes sense of it all. Despite the proliferation of resources to enhance sexual satisfaction, couples continue to struggle in their sexual relationship. In fact, author and licensed counselor Tim Gardner estimates that as few as 2 percent of married couples ever experience a truly exciting, energizing, and soul-touching physical bond. But now, that can change. A couple's sexual relationship has a far higher purpose than pleasure or procreation. Scripture makes it clear that sex is the one thing on earth that joins two people into one. Now readers can learn how to approach marital sex in a way that brings the fulfillment of true oneness. Sacred Sex shows how they can experience a beautiful, God-ordained life of intimacy that blesses them far beyond the bedroom walls, serves as an act of worship to God, and touches their hearts and souls in ways they never could have imagined.

Download or read book Sacred Sexuality written by Georg Feuerstein and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-11-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical, cross-cultural survey of sexuality as a sacred spiritual practice • Examines sacred sexuality in the world’s religious and mystery traditions • Explores contemporary “sexual stress syndrome” resulting from the absence of the sacred in sexual practice • Reveals how to find the sacred in the ordinary This book examines the history of sexuality as a sacramental act. In spite of our culture’s recent sexual liberalizations, sexual intimacy often remains unfulfilling. Georg Feuerstein instructs that the fulfillment we long for in our sex lives can only be attained once we have explored the spiritual depths of our erotic natures. Feuerstein delves into a wide variety of spiritual traditions--including Christianity, Judaism, goddess worship, Taoism, and Hinduism--in search of sacred truths regarding sexuality. He reveals that all of these great teachings share the hidden message that spirituality is, in essence, erotic and that sexuality is inherently spiritual. From the erotic cult of the Great Mother and the archaic ritual of hieros gamos (sacred marriage) to the institution of sacred prostitution and the erotic spirituality practiced in the mystery traditions, Feuerstein offers a wealth of historical practices and perspectives that serve as the bases for a positive sexual spirituality suited to our contemporary needs.

Download or read book Reasonable and Holy written by Tobias Stanislas Haller and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reasonable and Holy addresses the conflict over homosexuality within the Anglican tradition, demonstrating that the church is able to provide for and support faithful and loving relationships between persons of the same sex, not as a departure from that tradition, but as a reasonable extension of it. It offers a carefully argued, but accessible means of engagement with Scripture, the Jewish and Christian traditions, and the use of reason in dealing with the experience and lives of fellow-Christians. Unlike most reflections on the topic of homosexuality, Reasonable and Holy examines same-sex relationships through the lens of the traditional teaching on the “ends” or “goods” of marriage: procreation, union, the upbuilding of society, the symbolic representation of Christ and the Church, and the now often unmentioned “remedy for fornication.” Throughout, it responds to objections based on reason, tradition and Scripture. Based on a series of popular blog posts, it includes a number of independent, but related resources in the form of side-bars and single-page expansions of particular themes, suitable for reproduction as handouts.

Download or read book The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar written by Annie Dieu-Le-Veut and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the superior intelligence and self empowerment which comes from interacting with beings that inhabit a parallel universe to this one, from whom man has traditionally gained his knowledge about his place and purpose on Earth and in the cosmos. In ancient times, the ability to tap into this superior wisdom was transmitted to kings and pharaohs upon their coronation by one who was in touch with these extra-dimensional beings or life-forms, which are also known as spirits of the land. Shamans and high priestesses, since at least Neolithic times, were in communication with these spirits and so they were able to transmit their wisdom to the ruler or monarch during sacred sex rites. These shamanic practices became known as Sovereignty rites because they created a force that fired up the king's higher brain centres, giving him a superior intelligence and thus the ability and the right to reign, with the crown he wore on his head merely a symbol of his enlightened inner crown. As a shaman and mythologist, Annie Dieu-Le-Veut is regularly in communion with the spirits of the land where she lives in Glastonbury, Somerset, in the UK. In this book, she has laid out the way for the ordinary person to benefit from experiencing shamanic sexual practises by visiting other dimensions on the inner planes.In Part 1, she helps you to build your foundation stone upon which you will erect the temple of your understanding about the ancient Mystery Teachings, which were based on a sort of Earth magic known as the Alchemical Marriage, the Faery Marriage, or the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon. She lays out historical and mythological evidence from all over the world that sacred sex was an integral part of the Kingship rites that bequeathed wisdom on the initiate. And you will discover the original meaning of the Holy Grael, which can be traced back to the ritual centres of the Neanderthals of about 45,000 years ago.In Part II, you will go on to learn how to practise these shamanic rites yourself, through simple steps that take you into an enchanted world of spirits, magicians and Grailkeepers. These will enable you to fire up your own superior intelligence to enrich your own life and, if you should so choose, contribute to the work of the Sovereignty of your own land. Annie is also the author several popular esoteric books such as "The Bright World of Gods", "The Grail Mysteries", "Stories in the Stars" and "Stories in the Summerlands."
