Polyamory & Kundalini & Brandi

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your comments on this subject. What I was really

concerned with was the fact that many Western Polyamorous groups

claim that they use their se & ual relationships as a way to raise the

Kundalini. I feel and does also, that the raising of K should

be done on an individual basis, and many Poly Pods (groups of 3 or

more) use their se & ual preferences as a way of justifying something

sacred.

 

As mentioned the Hierodule/Temple Pr*stitutes acted as sacred

vessels for those wishing to receive ecstatic bliss through s & x. They

were both respected and revered as an important part of the community

in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, & Northern Africa, to name a few.

 

Poly and relationships with multiple partners are common in many

cultures and also legal in many countries. In the West we consider

the ideal and legal relationship to involve only two people and

visiting 'ladies of the night' for any reason is frowned upon.

 

The ideal IMHO would be for people to conduct personal relationships

in any way they see fit & safe, as long as no children were involved,

everyone was consenting, and nothing was done behind another's back

in order to cause them emotional pain.

 

As far as spiritual development and Kundalini are concerned it is

best left to an individual to search and find on their own.

 

Thanks Brandi, Thanks Chrism,

of *your* moral code is what matters. My moral code is definitely not

in harmony with the prevailing moral code of what I see as

my " culture " . I see a lot of ambiguous morality reflected in the

popular culture. It really seems to be " if it feels good, do it " . The

religious culture I was raised in was *not* ambiguous, but it's

uptight, fear-based and downright bigoted, especially where it comes

to the role of women and treatment of homosexuals.
