Pleasure - The Full
Pulsation of Life

Spiritual pleasure is not bodiless, for even unstructured consciousness is not formless.  Unstructured consciousness creates so-called "subtle bodies" of streaming energy in the purest form.  Therefore this energy form is without obstruction; it is pleasure itself.  The human body in its gross matter represents an obstruction that can be overcome only when the total personality attains harmony with the energy streamings of cosmic origin.

A liberated human being with little or no blocks and inhibitions, without distortions and negativity, is capable of a high degree of pleasure, for the energy of the subtle bodies penetrates the surface body.  The simultaneous longing for pleasure and the fear of it constitute one of the most basic inner struggles.

Only when you reach the point where you can open the inner flow to remove all obstructions and blocks so that you experience a high degree of bliss will you deeply know that human pleasure is essentially the same as the cosmic state of bliss, that spiritual and physical pleasure are one -- not opposites.

Pleasure, in the real sense, is intensely fleshly and intensely spiritual.  There is no division between the fleshly and spiritual state.

Your entire being vibrates and pulsates, undividedly, in harmony with yourself, the Universe -- and hence with another human being.  There is no division in you, no No-current, no doubt about the rightfulness of your bliss, no ifs and buts because your bliss interferes with the world around you.  You feel no guilt or hesitation.  On the contrary, you will feel deeply that the greater your ecstasy and joy, the more you contribute to the world.

Total unification of pleasure exists when you love and when you are a sexual being, because then you are also a spiritual being.  This means that you have emotional and mental integrity.  Therefore pleasure and spirituality, pleasure and decency, pleasure and emotional maturity, pleasure and physical health are all intricately and intimately connected.

For pleasure, a totally relaxed inner state is needed, but relaxation is not passive apathy, paralysis or inertia.  True relaxation is a constant, harmonious movement.  It is the movement of the universe.  Any human entity who is sufficiently free to be in the unified state of pleasure will feel the cosmic pulsating rhythm and will be in harmony with it.

Pleasure is, at one and the same time, the ultimate spiritual and human goal.  It is also the curative agent without which you cannot heal.

Be in the state of bliss that is your birthright, that is the ultimate destiny for all of you.  Realize the truth that there is nothing to fear.
