Eckhart Tolle and Egoless Sex – Is It Possible?

This passage from Eckhart Tolle really spoke to me when I read it yesterday, and it gives me hope that the perspectives expressed in my blog and by my commentators can be integrated:

“When you are no longer totally identified with forms, consciousness — who you are — becomes freed from its imprisonment in form. This freedom is the arising of inner space. It comes as a stillness, a subtle peace deep within you, even in the face of something seemingly bad. This, too, will pass. Suddenly, there is space around the event. There is also space around the emotional highs and lows, even around pain. And above all, there is space between your thoughts. And from that space emanates a peace that is not ‘of this world,’ because this world is form, and the peace is space. This is the peace of God.

“Now you can enjoy and honor the things of this world without giving them an importance and significance they don’t have. You can participate in the dance of creation and be active without attachment to outcome and without placing unreasonable demands upon the world: Fulfill me, make me happy, make me feel safe, tell me who I am. The world cannot give you those things, and when you no longer have such expectations, all self-created suffering comes to an end. All such suffering is due to an overvaluation of form and an unawareness of the dimension of inner space. When that dimension is present in your life, you can enjoy things, experiences, and the pleasures of the senses without losing yourself in them, without inner attachment to them, that is to say, without becoming addicted to the world.”

Wow, that is just so resonating with me right now … I would love it if we could have egoless sex. I’m just not sure it’s really accurate.

Love,
