Spiritual Love making

Who said anything about not loving one's partner? If you are married, you will definitely have a full fleged relationship and that will involve sex, but then what I was saying was from a completely spiritual perspective, one needs to understand that such love is ultimately not transcendent and not permanent, it may exist in this life, but in the next you are paired up with another person, but the love of God does transcend all such things and is permanent.

 

Trouble with cloning is that you're not producing new people but only copies of existing ones.
So a universe of clones would presumably get pretty stagnant after some time.
Also with plants, if you go on cloning generation after generation, eventually the clones become weak and downgraded. Not sure if that applies to animals.

The fear I reffered to though isn't fear of not reproducing, but a kind of fear of God which exists in some religious circles and is based on the idea that sex is bad, dirty, displeasing to God etc. It goes along with a similar idea about the body generally.

 

I hope one day you will fall in love.

 

love is love

 

Sex is generally pleasurable Thats the way the universe is - perhaps god designed it like that.
But what I want to say is that the experience of sexual love can be so deep and moving that it tends to turn the mind towards god in gratitude for the existence of one's lover. And just because love makes life seem like such a wonderful thing. This is especially true of those who are spiritually inclined anyway.
The argument that it is temporary isn't that binding either.
Better to love even for a time than not love at all.

 

love isn't temporary... its the only thing we take with us at the transition known as death... love of cat, love of dog, love woman/man or man/man or woman/woman... its all good

 

That's the way I see the whole sex/love issue, too. If more people looked at it that way, the world would be a heck of a lot better place to live in.

 

what's puja?

what does "haribol" mean?

I think you are completely wrong here. But I have no back up argument. I don't know how to explain myself about it. But I think you are definitely wrong.

I honestly think I could be celibate. I would love to live the life of a monk. I've been celibate by choice for about a year now and don't even miss it at all.

I'm sure it does.

 

Puja = Prayer

Haribol= A praise to the lord.

It is okay if you think i am wrong, i quite frankly don't care, but what I would enjoy is a valid argument to challenge me and pass some time.

You could be celibate, but according to spook who has much more experience than you, you will crack after a while...
