After two thousand years of continuous sex repression, the West became fed up with it. It was too much and the whole wheel turned. Then, instead of repression, indulgence became the new obsession. From one pole the mid moved to the other pole. The disease remained the same. Once it was repression, now it is to indulge more and more in it. Both are sick attitudes.

Sex has to be transformed, neither repressed nor indulged. And the only possible way to transform sex is to be sexual with deep meditative awareness.

Move into sex, but with an alert, conscious, mindful being. Don't allow it to become an unconscious force. Don't be pulled and pushed by it. Move knowingly, understandingly, lovingly. But make sexual experience a meditative experience. Meditate in it. That is what the East has done through Tantra.

And once you are meditative in sexual experience, the quality of it starts changing. The same energy which is moving into sexual experience starts moving towards consciousness.

You can become so alert in a peak sexual orgasm as you can otherwise never become, because no other experience is so deep, no other experience is so obsorbing, no other experience is so total. In sexual orgasm, you are totally obsorbed, root and all - your whole being vibrating, your whole being in it. Body, mind - both are in it. And thinking stops completely. Even for a single second, when the orgasm reaches its peak, thinking stops completely, because you are so total you cannot think.

In a sexual orgasm you are. Being is there without any thinking. In this moment, if you can become alert, consciou, then sex can become the door to the divine. And if in this moment you can become alert, the alertness can be carried in other moments also, in other experiences also. It can become part of you. Then eating, walking, doing some work, you can carry that alertness. Through sex, the alertness has touched your deepest core. It has penetrated you. Now you can carry it.

And, if you become meditative, you will come to realize a new fact. That fact it is not sex that gives you bliss, it is not sex that gives you ecstacy. Rather , it is a thoughtless state of the mind and totally involvement in the act that gives you a blissful feeling.
