Peoples Addictions To Sexual Pleasures - Alan Watts

[@jmbrown7568]

As Emerson is more accessible to his audience in the 19th century, Watts is more suitable for us in the 20th and 21st centuries because the verbiage he uses is easier for us to digest.

All is fated. I've been shown, first-hand. And Alan Watts was given all of the tools and guidance he needed to do exactly what he was fated to accomplish, like everyone is. I'm on a similar road to his, but I don't have the intellect or eloquence of Alan Watts! I'm slow of tongue, like Moses. And for good reason, I know. Here's a comment I posted elsewhere on this video: 15:40 "And if this Creation is basically a snare, why did He (GOD) do it?" Alan Watts was a wonder. But this is the one question he wasn't given the answer to. It's the most esoteric secret in this entire Universe, unknown even to the most advanced yogis and gurus. But this information was finally given to the world, in the Twentieth Century. Most have missed it, for various reasons - all which amount to Fate. But I share this information, The Meaning of Life, in a concise and easy-to-understand form in two different books; one which can be read in only 5 minutes, online, at no cost.

[@tomrhodes1629]

Sexual pleasure is a form of joy. Because, all joy is elevation to a higher vibration, and that's precisely what sexual orgasm does. There is no reason for guilt to be associated with sex, unless irresponsibility and/or lack of respect are involved. But humans tend to reach for guilt wherever they can, and that's why guilt is associated with sex so heavily. And if you knew the basis of ALL guilt, like I do, you would understand that guilt - and the fear it engenders - is the very bars of the ego-prison that keeps us tied to this world of limitation.

sex is the way human beings communicate with each other, and is also food for them - if you are guided by God in your activities, then you will find that sex is a way to manifest a perfect communication of love, and results in an elevation of the man and the women, - but if you give into your passions and let them lead you, or are overwhelmed by them in making love, then you will simply become more and more possessed and directed by animal passions, and fall into a world that is lower than the true human world, filled and influenced as it is then by animal passions. further, sex is a way of merging with another soul, and since this is an ongoing process, you need to be sure that the being you are merging with has the same goals and values that you do, otherwise there will inevitably be conflict and unhappiness... :) also, it is said that sex can actually influence the soul, so you need to be very careful with it, if you wish to preserve your noble soul, only doing it when you are guided to do so, in a state of calmness and awareness - the best time for sex is late at night, when the atmosphere of the earth is calm and not heated up by man's incessant activities and strivings - lastly, God wills for man to live his life very carefully (partly because God is the most subtle of all, and if you aren't careful, you will miss your cues and gifts you have coming to you, and also signs that something you are doing is going in the wrong direction) and, for your own sake, this applies particularly when it comes to having sex with the one whom you love :)

[@dianareis9624]

I think that the real message that jesus/ bible was trying to pass on to people is not about being right or wrong, its about using people for your own selfish pleasure. If i do not have love in my heart for another human being, who am I to use their body. That's selfish because doesnt come from love it comes from your own compulsion. Even if the person doesnt mind or even if the other person wants to, its about your intentions, and you intentions are to extract pleasure from another. I, myself do not think thats something beautiful or honorable or respectful at all, because, again, doesn't come from love, and less than love is not worth it in my humble opinion. But that's just my view and its not about right or wrong but, why.

I think something worth noting is that Watts was alleged to have cheated on his partners throughout his life. That doesn't diminish his words but it does draw attention to the fact that he too was no less afflicted by suffering and vice than anyone else.

Superb take on human sexuality. The talk is incorrectly titled, I think. Wonder what others think the title should be. “Sex is metaphysically good”?

[@radek1500]

Being invited to the dinner and some tell you its dirt and sin, keep away. Others tell you just observe, dont get attached to. Both feels like an desperate escape from experiencing life the way it is. Seems to be a strugle of refusing assuming experience called human life and joining another experience of denial, refusal, detachment, rejection. All above is part of range of more or less desperate approaches to life. Acceptance is not part of it.

I have a question. Is sex outside of marriage wrong?. What if you never get married. This is my honest question.

[@jonas6914]

There is nothing wrong with sexuality in general! Its absolutely naturally. People have their opinions about it, and many of them want to convince you that their idea of it, is the right one. Just listen to your feelings and create your own opinion. :)

[@Mr_Milkweed]

I've been on a caffeine high for the last 2 hours doing research and looking upon all religions and philosophies and science trying to solve this very question. Its a question I've struggled with myself in many years of my life. And from what I've gathered across what all advisable religion suggests, it seems to be wrong outside of marriage. But that is a question that you will have to figure out yourself, something between you and god. Marriage is an act of dedication, a permanent and public declaration of love and appreciation for another human. An ode to never faulter to the day you die. what's promised in marriage is a partnership, a perfect sharing of burden and hardship, a sharing and union of love, joy and every other aspect of life. When you are in such a healthy and loving relationship with a person, s3x is much less likely to be abused. When people chase such passion outside the bounds of true love, it is to fill some sort of spiritual hole inside of themselves and never fulfils them as they think it will. This will almost always lead to problems. When s3x happens outside of a committed loving relationship such as marriage there is harm that can be done. Unless its an act of love, an act made to bring a loving couple closer together, someone in the scenario, or both people are being used and taken advantage of. When it is done outside of a true and pure love it is being used to fill voids, and it will hurt both parties.

[@11Rogue-Disciple11]

​@@jonas6914 I agree..well put

[@11Rogue-Disciple11]

Remember, the true marriage is of the heart. Not a man made spectacle with an official government certificate, that's just a secondary formality. I believe the saying about sex out of marriage is in reference to sex without love. Love is the true union in the first place

[@11Rogue-Disciple11]

Imagine if you were stranded on an island with one other person. Someone you loved. With no priests available. And you had a natural urge to make love to this person. No one else will even be around to judge whether it is right or wrong either. Live as if your view of sex is the only one that matters to you. Do what comes natural to you.. If something feels right for you, what does it matter what another thinks of it?

Isn't a sense of something being evil subjective? Another way to consider your point is of what is preferable: go through with a pregnancy and be burdened with financial instability and a worse quality of life rather than having avoided such a fate by means of birth control. I think we should first take the individual's situation into account as being a greater moral imperative than the institutionalized guilt the church has ingrained into the collective consciousness.
