In the Jewish Kabbalah the holiness and purity of the spirits of Eroticism is always released in the earthly environment during the seasons of new moon, full moon, and sabbaths according to the Jewish calendar.
That which is via the institution of a holy
The Kabbalist Gershom Scholem suggests that the goal of kabbalistic sexual mysticism is for the male and female to unite as equals, and halves become whole.
Accordingly, for the kabbalist as for every other sexual mystic the goal of all the acts of sexual intercourse, is to become a form of prayer which infuses the heavenly ideas, revelations, and dreams with the collective consciousness of the Cosmos.
According to Kabbalah, desire is the core essence of a human being.
Desire is the stuff from which we are made. Desire is what fuels the entire human experience: art, literature, music, scientific discovery, and political revolution.
They all begin with the ignition of a desire and longing that yearns to be fulfilled.
According to the Kabbalist, eroticism (sexual desire) and arousal begin in the mystical intersection of our heads (thoughts, imagination, dreams), hearts and souls.
When we are willing to expose the totality of ourselves, and to focus on the emotional and spiritual aspects of our partners as well as their physical charms (libido), then sex can be deeply intimate.
When we become aware of the spiritual purpose and cosmic role that sex plays in the grand scheme of things, it becomes charged with discovery and spiritual energy.
Sensational sex occurs when one begins to grasp the purpose of creation, the origins of our soul, the meaning of our lives, and the “erogenous zones” of our cosmos.
The underlying problem behind a lousy sex life and dysfunctional relationships, according to Kabbalah, is that we do not know:
Who we really are
Where we came from
Why a man and woman exist
The structure of the Cosmos
The meaning and purpose of our lives
The role of sex in the physical and metaphysical scheme of things
The tools necessary to arouse sexual energy in our lives.
In Kabbalah, spiritual awareness and sex, Heaven, and Earth are in an ongoing interaction with one another.
The Upper and Lower worlds are intimately connected just as two lovers locked in embrace.
Consider the vivid and frankly erotic Song of Songs. Mystics taught that there were cosmic truths to be found embedded in the sensual imagery of the poem, in lines that lushly describe lips that taste like wine and lovemaking that flows like myrrh. In fact, many medieval Kabbalists agreed that this rich, lyrical text contained more secrets to the Universe than any other scriptural work!
When this knowledge is deployed in your consciousness, the carnal forces (energies of erotic) of creation are called on during sexual activity. It is then that the spiritual world trembles with delight as divine pleasure rains on you and your partner.
