it could be argued that the heterosexual act of lovemaking can potentially tap into some deep and primal aspect of the creatures we are. We do have reproductive organs that work a certain way to create life, thats obvious. Also, this thread makes me want to travel to India and pull some karma sutra shit.
The problem is that religion has always wanted to impose its rules on everything, and sex never escaped the corrupt minds of theists who view everything they personally detest must need silly rules to differentiate between freedom to enjoy and sin. Of course, sin is just a make-believe concept created to validate that which the theists detest. Sex is primal, instinctual, biological. It is not spiritual.
If it doesn't physically exist but you attribute to it it all sorts of physical properties this is called abstraction or as Just_a_woman says figurative speech. A quality of mind. Light striking eyes left and right is not vision. Vision comes from the interpretive, the minds eye, the third eye. You can have clear vision or not. You are kind of inappropriately mixing your metaphors there. I would suggest human anatomy as being the only factor giving us sensation. How would you know ginalee(7+7), have you performed experiments? Making the attempt, I know I am not gay, not wired that way, as far as circuitry goes. Let me ask you this, how come penis' eyes are always asian their eyes cheeched or slanted by an epicanthus not like the round eyed wonder of the cervix?
Actually sin is a word essentially meaning to miss the sign and simply means to make an error. Is error primal, instinctual, or biological? Error is pointed out by the mind, otherwise there is no discrepancy in function. Sex is the instinct of the species, not the individual so the individual naturally has wide latitude in orientation.
People have thoroughly shit upon and ripped apart this thread. It's personal, I'm sure. The ONLY person who touched upon the point and the meaning is crewcut. But again, I'm talking about a SPIRITUAL matter. For those who cannot comprehend the eye of the cervix and eye of the penis, I cannot help you.
Your perceptions are personal. What people are you talking about? Let me account for your insufficiency. Spirit is our only reality. We are spirit reaching toward spirit in all things
Definitions of spirituality vary. Most of us have the biological capability to feel spiritually transported, however the cognitive context of those moments and the methods to stimulate them are a matter of our culture.
Ah ok, my post was more of a general one and wasn't meant to target your last post specifically I like to think of spirituality in a naturalistic way.
As in the physical body responding naturally to outside stimuli that can deceive the mind into thinking the feelings experienced are supernaturally spiritual? That would be my defintion.
Um, kinda, we build cognitive schemas of ourselves and the world around us which are influenced by our culture. Emotional feelings can reinforce the sense of spirituality sure. For me I don't feel a sense of the supernatural, but a sense of perhaps being in touch with nature, or roots perhaps.
What is it about India and it's spirituality that makes it a third world shithole? Seems to me that a truly spiritual place would be very advanced.
