Selections from the essay To All Who Would Find Heart-Breaking Freedom by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

Sex is not the “great evil”.

Indeed, sex is not evil at all.

Rather, egoity is the “root” and source of all evil and all “problems”.

I have Revealed and Demonstrated that sex is transformed and made right and (in due course) transcended only through the process of transcending egoity.

Therefore, sex itself need not—and should not—be regarded as an “enemy”.

It is emotional-sexual egoity that must be gone beyond.

Thus, what must be (most fundamentally) addressed relative to your emotional-sexual life is not sex in and of itself, but your egoic search for “self”-fulfillment by means of sex.

While it is true that sex is not the “great evil”, it is equally true that sex is not the “Great Salvation”.

In all the Years of My Divine Avataric Teaching-Work and My Divine Avataric Revelation-Work (and, indeed, in My Own “Years of Testing-by-experience”), I thoroughly Demonstrated and Proved that a sexually active practice carries no advantage (and is not “causative”) relative to the Process of Real-God-Realization.

Indeed, the most that can be accomplished by means of a (necessarily, profoundly seriously—and, necessarily, conservatively—engaged) sexually active practice is to make one’s emotional-sexual practice compatible with the Real Transcendental Spiritual Process (whatever that requires in the individual case), such that sexual activity does not actively obstruct the Transcendental Spiritual Process.

Selections from the essay The Heart Changes Everything by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

Human beings are generally addicted to sex. They think about sex all the time. They are troubled about sex all the time. Even though people may be involved in intimate relationships, they cannot incarnate the feeling-dimension of existence. They cannot incarnate themselves sexually to the fullest degree, because they have superimposed on their sexuality so many games and rituals.

Therefore, people generally live with a mind full of random desires. They are constantly wandering and thinking about others, because they cannot live as love. You are impulsed to give and to receive sexual pleasure—but you cannot incarnate love fully, you cannot incarnate love to the degree that your intimate relationship becomes so profound (both sexually and emotionally) that it changes your life.

This is what I am Calling you to discover: Sex is an emotional-sexual matter. You must come to the point where you can live a heart-relationship—where you express it, say it, know it, and become known as it.

The aberration in you is lovelessness. When the heart comes into the sphere of sexual matters, it changes everything.

Selections from the essay The Fundamental Error in the Sexually Active Forms of Tantra by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

Fundamentally, Tantra does not mean “about sex”. That is just “consumer Tantrism”, as it gets publicly promoted. Sexuality is an element of practice in some Tantric traditions. In others, there is an ascetical and puritanical view.

Popularization of Tantrism is generally about sex. Not only is the language of Spirituality combined with the language of sexuality, but there is also the indication that sexuality is somehow “causative” (or at the “root”) of Spirituality. The notion is that you can somehow “cause” the Spiritual by manipulating the sexual.

However, sex actually has nothing whatsoever to do with Realization. Neither having sex nor not having sex has anything to do with Realization in Spiritual terms. It is possible for sexual activity to be compatible with a true Spiritual practice, if a proper discipline is brought to it, and various limitations inherent in it are transcended. But sexual activity does not “cause” Spirituality. At best, sexual activity is compatible with Spirituality—and that requires a great discipline. Otherwise, sexuality is not compatible with Spirituality.

Selections from the essay Sex Is Fundamental ego-Identity Lived by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

Realization simply has nothing to do with the body-mind-complex—in any sense. Therefore, Realization has nothing to do with sex. Nevertheless, sex certainly tends to be an obstacle to Realization—as is the body-mind-complex altogether, because the body-mind-complex tends to be “self”-contracted, and is (therefore) the obstruction to Realization. Sex is part of the “problem”. Therefore, sex must certainly be understood. Indeed, sex must be a matter of profound address, because it is fundamental to your bondage to the body-mind-complex. As it is usually engaged, sex is a fundamental exercise of bondage, a fundamental area in which bondage is conceived and indulged in.

Sex is fundamental ego-identity lived.

Selections from the essay Responsibility for Infantile Emotion by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

How people are sexually is a clear sign of what they are emotionally. And what people are emotionally is the thing that must become freed up. That is the fundamental process to be “considered” in the study of emotional-sexual life that I Call My devotees to engage.

You must come to the observation of this sense of separation from Reality, this mortal anxiety, this fear, this sense of not being connected to What Sustains and Transcends you. That emotional dis-ease is what you must uncover. In due course, you must become responsible for that dis-ease . . . so that you are no longer rehearsing life as the “problem” of separation, always trying to get back to union again, but are able to be stable as love and relinquish old ego-possessed patterns.

Selections from the essay The Devotional Discipline of True Yogic Intimacy by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

“True Yogic Intimacy” Is A Truly human Yoga—A Discipline Of the psycho-physical “self” That Releases Tendencies Of desire and mind, Counters (or Responsively Releases) The Effort Of “self”-Contraction, Balances and “Energizes” the psycho-physical being, and (Through The Real Transcending Of egoity) Conforms The emotional-sexual Dimension Of human Existence To The Process Of Divine Self-Realization.

“True Yogic Intimacy” Requires (or Always Calls For) Real and Steady Disciplining Of attention and functional Life-Energy.

“True Yogic Intimacy” Requires (or Always Calls For) The Real and Steady Expression Of human (but Not ego-Bound) Love.

“True Yogic Intimacy” Requires (or Always Calls For) Real and Steady Relinquishment Of egoic Independence—or all ego-Possessed demands, expectations, and complaints, All Rituals Of Rejection, Mistrust, and Reactivity, and All Strategies Of depression and pleasurelessness.

Therefore, “True Yogic Intimacy” Requires (or Always Calls For) Real and Steady Relinquishment Of Even any and all egoic limits On Real, Truly human, and Really ego-Transcending Love.
