Love and Sex are not the same thing.

Sex is a physical thing, and may even be a commodity, bought and sold.

Money wont buy you love, nor will any other means or currency.  Sex is sometimes used as a currency.

When love and sex coincide, that is really something special.  Beautiful.  Wonderful.  Happiness.

The real question is how do you tell? How do you know when it's gotten to that point? "
.........

I dont know.

We really only know our own *high water mark*, which is beyond what we knew before.

But is it less than  we will know at sometime in the future ?

So when should you *cash in* and say, *This is it* ?

Probably never.

All I want is to go home to the Spirit in the Void....

But thats just me, based on my experiences.

To each their own.

Just after experiencing Nirvana, the Void, I was telling a friend about it and she said, *You have mastered it then*.  I said, *I dont master It, It masters me*.

I thought about that, and later in meditation asked the Spirit about it.  She answered, *You do have mastery, but you dont have control*.

That has been my understanding of my relationship with the Spirit ever since.  The Spirit cares about what I want, but is in control of everything in my existence.

In talking with a priest I would refer to the Spirit as God.  In talking with a psychiatrist I would refer to the Spirit as the subconscious mind.  Either would be equally true.  But to me the Spirit is my eternal companion, my true love, which is equally true.

To each their own.  In you, within you, your own truth is all that should matter to you.  What is true for others, their own truth, cannot bring you happiness.  Only your own truth can do that.

Thanks. But, I don't know what the truth is. I'm still looking.

After nirvana I was sure I had found The Truth.  But it doesnt stop there.

I dont believe there is a The Truth.  I experienced something I took to be The Truth, and I still accept what I experienced as true, but that doesnt make it The Truth.  In a Universe of endless possibilites how could there be a The Truth ?

There just is what It is being, Things as It is.

Quote: "Love and sex and after nirvana - farvana."
.........

Looking back, it is all so confusing.  I was in the Void before I knew there was a Void, many times, but it wasnt until after nirvana, experiencing being the Void, that I understood where I had been and where I now routinely returned in my meditations.

The Spirit has always been with me, but I have only been conscious of it since 1972, and it has only been since nirvana in 1990 that I have understood who the Spirit is.  I thought I had a guardian angel, but it is much more than that, eternal love and companionship.

The Spirit has shown me love so great that I have had to rise up and walk around, filling my lungs with air to prove to myself I was still alive, and had not actually died and gone to heaven.  And the Spirit promises that I will return to the Void after death to spend an eternity there with her, in an essential *holodeck* of unlimited possibilities.

I hope you fare as well in *farvana*, but thats not my business.  What is between you and the Spirit is between you and the Spirit.  You have to work that out for Yourself.

Are you still a shaman then ?

I recall you once posted a picture of a raven on a shield that you had made for esoteric purposes, and told of a book on Shamanism that you had co authored with a well noted person in the field of Shamanism.

Some excepts from your work would no doubt be well received here.
