Punishing Pleasure💋💥👏
I feel one reason there is so much shame around self pleasure is because many of us were brainwashed to fear punishment from experiencing sexual Joy. Thus we make up these bullshit ideas that you will loose lifeforce, go blind, become a deviant and so on.
2. This is all based on the religious shame many of us grew up experiencing. We were taught that sex in general was pretty much a sin of lust, and so I believe many subconsciously carry this shame that gets morphed into "science" that says self pleasure is somehow dangerous.
3. Self pleasure is not dangerous, what is dangerous though is repressing your natural God given sexual energy. Do not punish yourself because you take pleasure from sex, it's normal. The important thing is to be conscious from your Heart and never to harm anyone.
4. Other than that sex comes down to being responsible and not using it to escape pain. Instead things like self pleasure should help you heal your pain if anything. Though that can't happen if there is still a stigma around self pleasure that makes many ashamed of it.
5. We all have the power to work through our own sexual pain if we allow intimacy with ourselves. Yet I feel many fear this intimacy as it triggers that dogma of punishment, fear and shame. This than makes people rely exclusively on others for sexual release.
6. I believe this is even why a lot of people "go out on the town" so to speak. Many think they are looking for love when they really just need a sexual release but they can't admit that and end up in bad relationships where no one even knows their own authentic sexual energy.
7. This is a big problem for the dogmatic religious and "alpha male spiritual world" that punishes self pleasure, seeing it as sin or a weakness. Though this only causes unhealthy backfire of repressed sexual energy.
8. And than many of those "spiritual" dudes have to chase women all day because they need a mere receptacle since they can't just take care of themselves when they need to.
9. The repression of sexual energy is what causes true deviancy. It's like trying to censor free speech or make anti-2nd amendment laws that only cause more harm than good. The attempt to essentially punish our sexual energy away in an attempt to "save" it has failed miserably.
10. Do not punish your divine God given sexual energy, unless you enjoy pain play, lol. Though that's not real pain when it's consensual Joy. The real pain is in living in shame and fear of your sexual energy as it inverts back on you like daggers.
11. For those who would like a more in-depth look at some of these concepts, you can check out this thread on the Sacral Shadow. It's the darkest work I've done yet, but I'm going to keep promoting it because we really need to start facing these shadows!🙏 threadreaderapp.com/thread/1454805…

Sex as Shame💋😞💋
I constantly address the bullshit shame we have around sex. Though another problem, on the opposite extreme is using sex itself as shame. This is equally as bad and has only caused sex to become a societal weapon of approval, particularly on the masculine side.
2. Sex is often considered as a right of passage, particularly amongst men, and if you haven't had it yet by a certain time frame, than there must be something wrong with you. This kind of societal expectation only causes people to run with empty hearts into sex.
3. I am no sexual puritan by any means. I say consenting adults can do whatever the fuck they want, not my place to judge. That said I do not believe having sex just to have it, so you can wear it as a badge of acceptance, is good for the soul.
Hello Twitter fam! You all know me as @RationalImpact but my real name is actually Nathaniel Scherer, though I go by Nate. I've never hid my name, but I got feeling like it was time to put my real name to my full work without shame and in complete acceptance of all that I am.
2. I've struggled with shame over every part of who I am, even within the spiritual world. It's not everyday that a shy gamer gets a calling to go in front of the world and talk about things like spiritual sexuality! I'll be blunt, I sometimes still feel out of place.
3. I'm an odd one here no doubt. I know I belong and I've been so lovingly accepted here, but it's a real challenge when frankly your whole life was in extracting the light within the denser parts of the matrix few wished to go but many love to judge.
Shift to Center➡️⬇️⬅️
I've been noticing that the spiritual world in general struggles to have a balanced center. There are many extremes of either love and light, everything is fucked, aliens everywhere, aliens no where, all plan all the time, no plan hold the popcorn and so on.
2. I tend to find my self adrift amongst several parts of the spiritual community and in truth we are all on the same race track but I feel we are riding the edges of extremes, often on the verge of wiping out. Some are to busy staring at the sky and others the asphalt.
3. We don't want to stare at the sky or the ground only, we need to look straight ahead and keep our steering steady, able to see and navigate the winding track of awakening.
Awakened Anonymous✍️👁️🛌
Are you disillusioned, down, doubtful of the plan, second coming, solar flash? Than welcome to AA, lets vent, regroup, refocus and get moving forward again!
2. Lets face it, the plan didn't go how we planned it, the second coming got held up in traffic, and the solar flash hasn't swept us away yet. Many of us are feeling burnt out, hopeless and lost as the world only gets crazier while we hold the burden of wakefulness.
3. Though in truth, none of these narratives are panaceas to this pantomime. Instead they should be supportive structures that are held up by the inner work of our own foundation. All outside saving graces can only be as good and effective as we are able to hold from within!
Rabbit Hole or Hell Hole?🐇🕳️VS👹🕳️
Honestly, many fall into a hell hole when they think they are falling into the rabbit hole. The rabbit hole eventually leads you back out into your newly awakened life, with a positive outlook, while the hell hole mimics the rabbit hole.
2. The hell hole traps you in an energy draining loop and negative outlook that gets you lost in an endless labyrinth. This hell hole halts peoples spiritual growth and is designed to be a poisonous red pill, instead of the authentic red pill.
3. This is where many get lost waiting for a savior, plan or solar flash, while doing no inner work. It keeps many who would otherwise shine their own light into the world, creating genuine ascension faster, trapped in the pits of hell as their light is simply absorbed.
Throw Out Tantric Sex🗑️💋👋
Ok, admittingly a loaded title on purpose. Tantric Sex and Tantra in general is a wonderful concept, as its all about being more conscious and self aware. However, I find that due to shame around sex, Tantric ideas have become to cold and calculated.🤖
2. I find that Tantric concepts often fall to deeply into the mind/third eye obsessed part of spirituality that often seeks to escape embodiment. Thus, what should be about becoming more spiritually embodied turns into just more spiritual escapism from our physical sexual nature.
3. It becomes all about using sex to ascend to higher planes. That would be great, if it still grounded into the psychical plane as well. This creates a system of ungrounded rules that still sees sex as dirty, or to primal, only being accepted within some kind of spiritual dogma.
