Sex today is as if we are living in a future where the only sport is basketball. In a future where we have lost all memory and record of the range of sports we currently have, there is only basketball. When someone says “Do you do/like/enjoy sport?” they mean basketball. They mean dribbling a ball, on a court and trying to throw it in a basket on a stick. There is a range of ways to engage in basketball, you can play alone in your yard. You can be a world famous professional player whos’ whole life is basketball, playing to a ever increasing level of complexity. But there is no golf, football, soccer, gymnastics, etc. All the types of movement involved in any other sport is forgotten. This, is where we are at with sex today. Over the millennia, social conditioning and cultural norms and rules have slowly eroded our knowledge of the potential for sex and intimacy. We have forgotten how to move our bodies together in ways that create intimacy and community. We have forgotten how to communicate through our bodies. We have lost the cyclical nature of the female sexuality. We have lost the balance that roots our species, our sexual capacity. The first principle of being human is that we are sexed animals whos whole being has been designed over millions of years to reproduce. It is our guiding light and life force. It is why we are here and the only way we will survive. And yet everyone is playing basketball and the whoile world is becoming sick. Our bodies and minds deformed by the focus on basketball. The exclusion of people who don’t like basketball or the soul crushing experience of submitting to a game you don’t really want to play but do it anyway, over and over again. We are going mad. We are lacking something so core to our physcal experience of being human and we wonder why our minds are suffereing.

Meditation. Imagine language doesnt exist. It is that simple. You don’t need to get rid of “thoughts”, you just dont allow yourself to form words. Imagine a white board, and erase the words as they form. Sensation exists The present moment exists. Concepts, thoughts, questions, and rumination, cannot exist without words. Keep forgetting language. What is left? Grasp onto it and sink into it. It expands exponentially. Without language you are able to experience awareness like an animal. Like a big cat or dog lying in the sun. Not asleep, but not alert. Enjoying the sensatgion of the warm sun on their fur Enjoying the comfort and contentment of existing. No judgement on the moment, just the physical sensations of the body.
