| sexual alchemy meaning: Sexual Alchemy Donald Tyson, 2000 Chances are that you've heard of Tantra and Taoist sexual practices. Now, as a result of studying the inner mysteries of alchemy, Donald Tyson presents a Western system of sacred sexuality in Sexual Alchemy. Here you will learn how to have erotic relationships with loving spirits. That means the methods presented here can function as a Western alternative to Eastern sexual practices. They also can be used by a solitary person and need not depend upon the participation of a partner. The first part of this book presents a history of sex with spirits. It also goes into the secrets of Eastern internal alchemy and how the books of Western alchemy often made secretive references to sexual magick. You will also learn how to create a physical representation of the spirit you are going to use as a partner. The second part of the book includes the practices and techniques which the author found to be effective from other sources or developed himself. This includes techniques of diet, exercise, breathwork, banishings, purifications, and finally, an invocation ritual to summon the spirit who is going to be your lover! Then you will learn the previously hidden secrets of having sex with a spirit lover. You'll learn how to prepare and recognize the signs that this is an actual occurrence and not simply a fantasy. And then, when you have accomplished your ritualized mating, you will learn how to collect and use the resulting, highly charged fluids for magical purposes. Everything we are, everything we have, is a gift from the Divine. Doesn't it make sense that we use all of our abilities to honor the source from which they came? That means we can even make use of our sensual natures to honor the Gods. If you want to follow a system based on western traditions, this book can be your guide. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: The Perfect Matrimony: The Door to Enter into Initiation Samael Aun Weor, 2025-02-01 Love is the highest religion...” - Samael Aun Weor The First Public Revelation of the Sexual Teachings in Every Religion All religions have symbols, myths, and cryptic scriptures that point towards sex, but their real meanings were kept secret. The Perfect Matrimony was the first book to reveal those secrets to the public. The Western religions say that our suffering began when Adam and Eve ate the “forbidden fruit,” an obviously sexual symbol that was never before explained to the public. We are suffering today because we are still eating that forbidden fruit. When we stop repeating that mistake, we can return to עדן (Eden), a Hebrew word that literally means “bliss, pleasure, delight.” The forbidden fruit is related to sex. Sex is a terrific power that can create or destroy. Everything that lives was created through sex. Sex is the source of all life, even spiritual life. Even the soul is created through sex, but not the sexual act of the common person. To create something divine requires divine, sacred sexuality, which is very different from the common sexual act. To create spiritually, we need sexuality that is pure, divine, holy. This is not a book of theories or beliefs, but a practical handbook that empowers you to experience the truth for yourself. It is filled with practical exercises of sacred sexuality for singles and couples, meditation, astral projection, mantras, awakening kundalini and chakras, and much more. After putting these teachings into daily practice, the scriptures of all religions become radiantly clear, your spiritual practices become truly effective and powerful, and the empty feeling in your heart is replaced by something magical and alive. You will then know that real religion is not found in organizations, buildings, or books, it is found in the heart that is inflamed with divine love. If you only want one book about real spiritual practice, The Perfect Matrimony has everything you need. Are you ready for a spiritual and sexual revolution? |
| sexual alchemy meaning: Treatise of Sexual Alchemy Samael Aun Weor, 2022-02 Join the male to the female in their own proper humidity, because there is no birth without union of male and female. -Hermes Treatise of Sexual Alchemy is a complete guide to sexual transmutation: the preservation and transformation of sexual energy, the basic requirement for spiritual development. Alchemy was once the most respected science, venerated and practiced by pharoahs, kings and queens, priests and priestesses. Alchemy is the key of eternal life, and the way to liberate ourselves from suffering. To protect it, that knowledge was always hidden from the public. The Medieval alchemists hid the Great Arcanum among innumerable symbols and esoteric allegories. This was in order to save it from profanity, and in order for them to avoid being burned alive in the blazes of the Inquisition. -Samael Aun Weor The symbolism of alchemy is rooted in the myths of the Greeks and Egyptians. Moses, an Egyptian priest, taught alchemy in his writings: Adam and Eve are the basic symbol of alchemy. Even Jesus taught alchemy: his living waters and the stone the builders rejected are the alchemist's Mercury, whose development creates the famous philosopher's stone. Now, in these moments of intense suffering, the time has arrived for all of humanity to know the truth about alchemy. Here, Samael Aun Weor reveals that what was hidden by Hermes, Paracelsus, Basil Valentine, Roger Bacon, Villanova, Raymond Lully, Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel, are also hidden in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Judeo-Christian Torah and Bible. All are based on the same knowledge: humanity left Eden (bliss) because of sex, and can only return to Eden through sex. Alchemy is the method. Most importantly, this book guides you to practice alchemy yourself. Those who are tired of suffering can experience liberation from day to day: by eliminating defects, liberating virtues, and devoting themselves to becoming pure expressions of the highest spiritual value of all: love. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Hidden Intercourse Wouter J. Hanegraaff, Jeffrey Kripal, 2008-12-31 From rumours about gnostic orgies in antiquity to the explicit erotic symbolism of alchemical texts, from the subtly coded eroticism of medieval kabbalah to the sexual magic practiced by contemporary occultists and countercultural translations of Asian Tantra, the history of Western esotericism is rich in references to the domains of eros and sexuality. This volume, which brings together an impressive array of top-level specialists, is the first to analyze the eroticism of the esoteric without sensationalism or cheap generalizations, but on the basis of expert scholarship and attention to textual and historical detail. While there are few other domains where the imagination may so easily run wild, the various contributions seek to distinguish fact from fiction--only to find that historical realities are sometimes even stranger than the fantasies. In doing so, they reveal the outlines of a largely unknown history spanning more than twenty centuries. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress Hsi Lai, 2001-08-01 • Reveals how the sexual practices of the White Tigress can preserve and restore a woman's physical youthfulness and mental energy. • The first modern guide to White Tigress techniques, the only sexual teachings exclusively for women. • Reveals for the first time in English the hidden teachings of immortaless Hsi Wang Mu, a White Tigress from 3,000 years ago. • Provides Western medical correlations to substantiate White Tigress practices. White Tigress women undertake disciplined sexual and spiritual practices to maintain their beauty and youthfulness, realize their full feminine potential, and achieve immortality. Revealed here for the first time in English are the secrets of the White Tigress that have all but disappeared from the world. Under the guidance of Madame Lin, the matriarch of a distinguished White Tigress lineage still in existence in Taiwan, Hsi Lai was given the privilege to study these practices and record them from a modern perspective so they will be forever preserved. The vast majority of Taoist texts on alchemy, meditation, and sexuality are directed at male practitioners. The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress presents traditions that focus on women, traditions that stem from a long line of courtesans and female Taoists. Translations of the ancient teachings from a rare White Tigress manual dating back 3,000 years explain the sexual and spiritual refinement of ching (sexual energy), chi (vital energy), and shen (consciousness)--the Three Treasures of Taoism--the secret to unlocking eternal youthfulness and immortality. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: Carnal Alchemy Stephen E. Flowers, Crystal Dawn Flowers, 2013-09-20 BDSM sexuality as a powerful tool for self-transformation and the realization of magical and spiritual aims • Details how to combine the 6 major types of S&M stimulation with sexual stimulation for magical and transformative purposes • Explores sado-magical workings from both submissive and dominant perspectives • Traces the roots of the BDSM tradition from ancient pagan and shamanic rituals to historical figures such as the Marquis de Sade, Aleister Crowley, and Anton LaVey Sex magic allows us to tap in to the most abundant power source available: sexual energy. Magicians, shamans, and fakirs throughout history have used physical stimulation and ritual to harness sexual energy, unlock inner states of consciousness, and activate the ability to influence their surroundings. While pleasure is often the focus of this stimulation, pain is just as effective, if not more so. Combining both pleasure and pain, the sadomasochistic practice of Carnal Alchemy offers a powerful tool for self-transformation and the realization of magical and spiritual aims. Authors Stephen and Crystal Dawn Flowers explain the sado-magical workings of Carnal Alchemy from both the perspective of the submissive partner as well as the dominant. They detail the 6 major techniques of sadomasochistic stimulation--bondage, flagellation, piercing, penetration, clamping, and heat/cold--and how they can be combined with sexual stimulation for magical purposes. They trace the roots of the BDSM tradition in ancient pagan rites of passage, in indigenous shamanic rituals, and through historical figures who used this form of sexuality in their magic and philosophy, from the Marquis de Sade to more modern exemplars such as Aleister Crowley, Ernst Schertel, and Anton LaVey. This guide also covers specialized furniture and tools and the decor of “the Chamber” to trigger states of consciousness in which the Sado-Magician can effectively express his or her will. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: Recapture the Rapture Jamie Wheal, 2021-04-27 “A highly personal, richly informed and culturally wide-ranging meditation on the loss of meaning in our times and on pathways to rediscovering it.” —Gabor Maté, MD, author of In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction A neuroanthropologist maps out a revolutionary new practice—Hedonic Engineering—that combines the best of neuroscience and optimal psychology. It’s an intensive program of breathing, movement, and sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration and tightens connections—helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world that needs us all. This is a book about a big idea. And the idea is this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at once, we’re suffering from a collapse in Meaning. Fundamentalism and nihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst. It’s vital that we regain control of the stories we’re telling because they are shaping the future we’re creating. To do that, we have to remember our deepest inspiration, heal our pain and apathy, and connect to each other like never before. If we can do that, we’ve got a shot at solving the big problems we face. And if we can’t? Well, the dustbin of history has swallowed civilizations older and fancier than ours. This book is divided into three parts. The first, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, takes a look at our current Meaning Crisis--where we are today, why it’s so hard to make sense of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it. It also makes a case that many of our efforts to cope, whether anxiety and denial, or tribalism and identity politics, are likely making things worse. The middle section, The Alchemist Cookbook, applies the creative firm IDEO’s design thinking to the Meaning Crisis. This is where the book gets hands on--taking a look at the strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration, healing, and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality, music, and substances--these are the everyday tools to help us wake up, grow up, and show up. AKA--how to blow yourself sky high with household materials. And the best part? They’re accessible, by anyone anywhere, no middleman required. Transcendence democratized. The final third of the book, Ethical Cult Building, focuses on the tricky nature of putting these kinds of experiences into gear and into culture—because, anytime in the past when we’ve figured out combinations of peak states and deep healing, we’ve almost always ended up with problematic culty communities. Playing with fire has left a lot of people burned. This section lays out a roadmap for sparking a thousand fires around the world--each one unique and tailored to the needs and values of its participants. Think of it as an open-source toolkit for building ethical culture. In Recapture the Rapture, we’re taking radical research out of the extremes and applying it to the mainstream--to the broader social problem of healing, believing, and belonging. It’s providing answers to the questions we face: how to replace blind faith with direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and how to cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us how to revitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our relationships, and answer once and for all the questions of why we are here and what do we do now? In a world that needs the best of us from the rest of us, this is a book that shows us how to get it done. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Mystery of the Golden Flower Samael Aun Weor, 2020-01-01 Discover how your greatest creative power is also your greatest spiritual power. “All of us possess some electrical and magnetic forces within, and, just like a magnet, we exert a force of attraction and repulsion... Between lovers that magnetic force is particularly powerful and its action has a far-reaching effect.” —Samael Aun Weor In the heart of every religion there are teachings about intimate human relationships, a sacred knowledge about the transformative power of sex, which states that true spiritual mastery is a result of conquering base desires and transforming them into conscious virtues. Harnessing and transforming the most powerful forces within places us on a revolutionary path to spiritual awakening. That is why Krishna, the Christ of Hinduism, said, “I am sex not contrary to dharma.” This is why Jesus explained the need to be born again. Every birth is a result of sex. Spiritual birth is no exception, and is accomplished not by common, everyday sex, but through a divine, pure form of sexuality. This type of sexuality is hidden in all religions and mythologies, and was first revealed in the writings of Samael Aun Weor. Filled with lively, entertaining stories, The Mystery of the Golden Flower explains the practical methods of sexual transmutation, and how preserved sexual energy can become Kundalini, the fire of Pentecost, the power to destroy the psychological afflictions that bind us to suffering. This is the ancient science hidden in Hindu and Buddhist Tantra, Chinese and Western Alchemy, Taoism, and many other traditions. For instance, sacred sexuality was hidden in the Chinese Taoist book called “The Secret of the Golden Flower,” made famous by Carl Jung, in which the “secret” was not revealed. Here, in The Mystery of the Golden Flower, it is. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: Sexual Fluidity Lisa M. Diamond, 2008-02-28 Is love “blind” when it comes to gender? For women, it just might be. This unsettling and original book offers a radical new understanding of the context-dependent nature of female sexuality. Lisa M. Diamond argues that for some women, love and desire are not rigidly heterosexual or homosexual but fluid, changing as women move through the stages of life, various social groups, and, most important, different love relationships.This perspective clashes with traditional views of sexual orientation as a stable and fixed trait. But that view is based on research conducted almost entirely on men. Diamond is the first to study a large group of women over time. She has tracked one hundred women for more than ten years as they have emerged from adolescence into adulthood. She summarizes their experiences and reviews research ranging from the psychology of love to the biology of sex differences. Sexual Fluidity offers moving first-person accounts of women falling in and out of love with men or women at different times in their lives. For some, gender becomes irrelevant: “I fall in love with the person, not the gender,” say some respondents.Sexual Fluidity offers a new understanding of women’s sexuality—and of the central importance of love. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Fusion of the Five Elements Mantak Chia, 2007-04-30 A guide to the practice of Inner Alchemy, which allows you to control the energies of your inner universe to better connect with energies of the outer universe • Teaches the essential first-level meditations in Taoist practice, also known as Fusion of the Five Forces, for self-healing and emotional and spiritual development • Shows step-by-step how to remove negative emotions from the organs in which they are lodged by neutralizing and transforming the negativity back into positive energy • Includes basic and advanced-level meditations Fusion of the Five Elements is the necessary first step in the Taoist practice of Inner Alchemy, in which one learns to control the generation and flow of emotional, mental, and physical energies within the body. It is a series of meditations designed to locate and dissolve negative energies trapped inside the body by making a connection between the five outer senses (experienced through the ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and tongue) and the five major negative emotions (anger, hate, worry, sadness, and fear). When the body is cleared of negative energy, universal chi energy flows freely and productively, nourishing both body and soul. The practice is divided into two parts. The first works with controlling the forces of the five elements on the five major organs of the body by learning the elements’ effects upon each other and how to balance and utilize these energies properly. The advanced Fusion exercises then show how to channel the greater energies of the stars and planets to strengthen internal weaknesses and crystallize positive energy. By “fusing” all the different kinds of energy together, a harmonious whole is created--the key to manifesting an Immortal existence. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Inner Alchemy Astrology Mantak Chia, Christine Harkness-Giles, 2013-07-01 Strengthen the qualities in your Taoist astrological chart with Inner Alchemy techniques and Universal Healing Tao exercises • Describes how to interpret your Taoist astrology birth chart and discover the unique combination of Five Elements underlying your personality, health, and destiny • Reveals how to strengthen your birth chi with Inner Alchemy techniques and Universal Healing Tao exercises • Explains how to calculate your wealth phase, organ health, and luck cycles Each of us is born with a unique combination of heavenly and earthly energies dictated by the stars overhead and the season on Earth at the moment you take your first breath. Known in Taoist astrology as the Four Pillars of Destiny, this “birth chi” can be calculated using the year, month, day, and time of your birth. Master Mantak Chia and astrologer Christine Harkness-Giles reveal how to interpret your birth chi and strengthen weaknesses within your astrological energies. They explain how each of us is ruled by one of the Five Elements--Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water--in a Yin or Yang state. For each Element and Yin or Yang combination, the authors describe personality traits, ideal career paths, and emotional and health issues. They reveal how to discover your levels of success, wealth, and power; how your astrological strengths will manifest; and how to understand your relationships with partners, friends, and family. They also explain how to use your chart to calculate your organ health and annual luck cycles. The authors show how to use Inner Alchemy techniques, such as color therapy and feng shui, and Universal Healing Tao exercises, such as the Healing Sounds and Chi Kung, to harmonize and strengthen the inborn imbalances and weaknesses in your chart. This hands-on method of astrology allows you to take control of your health and destiny by connecting your personal energy with the energies of the cosmos. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: Keys of Gnosis Robert Bolton, 2005-03 For a long time now, religion in the West has been polarized between a democratic kind of faith meant for simple believers, and divine mysteries so high that hardly anyone can claim to know much about them. The vital connecting link between them, that of metaphysical religion, is all but lost... (From the Introduction.) There are many books that seek to answer the fundamental questions of life: Who am I? Does life have a purpose? How should I live? Dr Bolton's book brings to these universal questions an extraordinary degree of metaphysical insight. It contains in highly condensed form a veritable library of traditional wisdom, offering a systematic reconstruction of our understanding of the soul and its relation to archetypal reality. Its starting-point is the fact that increasing numbers of people seem to lack spiritual and material power over their own lives. Modern man feels like a victim. But true power, real freedom, is closer than we think. Our mistake lies in accepting a false view of the self, and neglecting the metaphysical dimension that gives access to eternity. Dr Bolton's book offers a crash-course in liberation. It can liberate us, specifically, from a common sense idea of reality which is profoundly false, and which holds us in unconscious slavery to time and appearances. The book defends the capacity of the human mind to obtain objective insight, despite the obfuscations of postmodernism, and represents a bold development of the Platonist tradition associated with St Augustine, Plotinus, and Proclus. This book is like a diamond: a diamond placed not in a necklace, but at the business end of a drill. It is up to us to use the drill to penetrate reality. Writing the book was a great achievement. Reading it invites us to make the achievement our own. - Stratford Caldecott (G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture) |

| sexual alchemy meaning: The Secret History of Western Sexual Mysticism Arthur Versluis, 2008-03-25 The first book to reveal the history of Western sexual mysticism • Reveals the secret sexual practices that have been used since ancient Greece to achieve mystical union with God • Details the sects and individuals who transmitted the radical sexual practices that orthodox Christianity never completely silenced • Distinguishes between sexual magic and sexual mysticism Beginning with the ancient Greek Mystery traditions, Gnosticism, and the practices in early Christianity, Arthur Versluis uncovers the secret line of Western sexual mysticism that, like the Tantra of the East, seeks transcendence or union with God through sexual practices. Throughout antiquity, and right into the present day, sexuality has played an important, if largely hidden, role in religious traditions and practices. This includes not only Christian but also kabbalistic and hermetic alchemical currents of sexual mysticism, many discussed together here for the first time. In the Mystery tradition of hieros gamos (sacred marriage) and the Gnostic tradition of spiritual marriage, we see the possibility of divine union in which sexual union is the principal sign or symbol. Key to these practices is the inner or archetypal union of above and below, the intermingling of the revelatory divine world with the mundane earthly one. Versluis shows that these secret currents of sexual mysticism helped fuel the rise of the troubadours and their erotic doctrine, the esoteric teachings of Jacob Böhme in the late 16th century, the 19th-century utopian communities of John Humphrey Noyes and Thomas Lake Harris, the free love movement of the 20th century, and the modern writings of Denis de Rougemont and Alan Watts. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar Ishtar Dingir, 2015-06-06 This book is about Sovereignty. It's about the superior intelligence and self empowerment which comes from interacting with beings which inhabit a parallel universe to this one - another dimension - from whom man has traditionally gained his wisdom about his place and purpose on Earth and in the cosmos. In ancient times, the ability to tap into this superior wisdom was transmitted to kings and pharaohs by one who was in touch with these extra-dimensional beings or lifeforms, who are also known as the spirits. Sovereignty comes from the spirits of the land, otherwise known as the Fae, the Gentry, the Sidhe or the Faeries. These spirits are like Man, but are of an Elder and wiser race which inhabits a timeless zone within the parallel dimensions. These days, only children can see them, who haven't yet had that perceptivity educated and ridiculed out of them. Shamans and high priestesses in Neolithic times were in touch with these spirits of the land, and so were able to transmit their wisdom to the king or pharaoh in sacred sex rites during his coronation night. This became known as the Sovereignty because it fired up the king's higher brain centres, giving him a superior intelligence and thus the ability and the right to reign. Our ancestors have left us magical keys in their orally passed on myths which, like messages in a bottle, can help us find the way to spark up that wisdom again, in ourselves. As a shaman and mythologist, the author Ishtar Babilu Dingir is regularly in communion with the spirits of the land where she lives in Glastonbury, Somerset. In this book, she has laid out the way for the ordinary person to regain their Sovereignty, which is their birthright, through shamanic sexual practises and also by learning to visit these other dimensions on the inner planes. First, she lays the foundation stone for the teaching by showing the evidence - from ancient Greece, Egypt, Crete, India, Sumer and Babylon - that sacred sex was an integral part of the Kingship rites, and the literary evidence that the spirits were present in the lovemaking. She also explains about our earlier ancestors' understanding about the Faery Marriage, and what she believes is the original meaning of the Holy Grael, tracing it back to the Neanderthals about 45,000 years ago. The reader then learns how to perform shamanic sex themselves, to fire up their own superior intelligence. Finally, Ishtar reveals more about her own relationship with the local spirits of the land, so that others may become inspired to explore their own locality and thus begin their quest towards higher brain development and self-empowerment - to Sovereignty. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: Sex for Salvation Adam Weishaupt, 2016-04-30 Warning: this book contains strong adult content. The pagan world has always known that sex offers a route to salvation. Abrahamism, on the other hand, has demonised sex and made it dirty and shameful. It's time to get the West back on board with the sexual agenda. Read about Schopenhauer, the great metaphysician of sex. What was the orgasm theory of Wilhelm Reich? Is the Milky Way the cosmic ejaculation of God? In a wide-ranging study of sex, the Pythagorean Illuminati, the oldest secret society in the world, discuss Jim Morrison's notorious Miami gig, how to become Midas, and how to shed sexual inhibition. Take a sexual journey that stops off at: St Augustine, Diogenes, Islam, Fascism, the Royal Wedding, Dionysus, the female Lucifer, kundalini, karezza, and tantric sex. Did the Christians debate whether woman had souls and whether they could even be considered human? How does Eros power the soul? What is the ancient religion of Orphism and its significance to the Illuminati? |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Light from Darkness Samael Aun Weor, 2020-01-01 Modern science does not see it yet, but love and sex are the creative power at every level of nature. What attracts chemicals together to create new substances? What creates all living things, even worlds and galaxies? Sexual attraction and love. Thirsty for love, souls always wander in search of their other half... We always need another being who can fill us, who can supply with complete exactitude that which we lack, not only in the physiological aspect, but also in the psychosomatic and spiritual aspects... —Samael Aun Weor Unfortunately, humanity still does not understand how life works. In our current condition, we are trapped in diverse psychological defects: lust, anger, envy, discontentment. These cause us to misunderstand and misuse sex. This is why we suffer. “The sexual energy can transform any person into an angel or into a beast.” —Samael Aun Weor The power that can liberate us from suffering is our sexual power. That is why all authentic spiritual traditions require the preservation and transmutation of the creative, sexual power: it is the basis of spiritual development. When sexual power is harnessed by a couple in love, it can create a new substance called Kundalini, Pentecost, the sacred fire of all religions. This fire radiates spiritual light, and is the divine weapon of the gods, the vajra or thunderbolt that destroys the devils within us: our psychological defects, which are the causes of suffering. In meditation, with the consciousness awakened, one can see and understand the causes of suffering, liberating the consciousness from those cages. Then the divine power of Kundalini can destroy them. This is how, step by step, we liberate the light of consciousness from the darkness within us. This new edition was fully revised, and adds almost one hundred footnotes to explain key terms and concepts. It is also in a larger size making it easier to read. It includes illustrations, glossary, and index. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: Ace Angela Chen, 2020-09-15 An engaging exploration of what it means to be asexual in a world that’s obsessed with sexual attraction, and what the ace perspective can teach all of us about desire and identity. What exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through life not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? This accessible examination of asexuality shows that the issues that aces face—confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and identity, navigating different needs in relationships—are the same conflicts that nearly all of us will experience. Through a blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir, Ace addresses the misconceptions around the “A” of LGBTQIA and invites everyone to rethink pleasure and intimacy. Journalist Angela Chen creates her path to understanding her own asexuality with the perspectives of a diverse group of asexual people. Vulnerable and honest, these stories include a woman who had blood tests done because she was convinced that “not wanting sex” was a sign of serious illness, and a man who grew up in a religious household and did everything “right,” only to realize after marriage that his experience of sexuality had never been the same as that of others. Disabled aces, aces of color, gender-nonconforming aces, and aces who both do and don’t want romantic relationships all share their experiences navigating a society in which a lack of sexual attraction is considered abnormal. Chen’s careful cultural analysis explores how societal norms limit understanding of sex and relationships and celebrates the breadth of sexuality and queerness. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: The Sexual Teachings of the Jade Dragon Hsi Lai, 2002-10-01 Reveals how the sexual practices of the Taoist Jade Dragon can help men achieve immortality through the enhancement of their sexual prowess. • A companion guide to The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress that focuses on the male side of White Tigress sexual practices. • Reveals the nine Jade Dragon exercises and other Taoist techniques for achieving the elixir of immortality. • Offers physical and spiritual solutions for the sexual issues facing men. Hsi Lai continues the work he began in The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress by exploring more fully the male role in Taoist sexual transformation. As with those of the White Tigress, the techniques of the Jade Dragon are part of a disciplined sexual and spiritual practice. The goal for the Jade Dragon is health, longevity, and immortality through external and internal regimens for the enhancement and accumulation of the Three Treasures of Taoism--ching (sexual and physical energy), qi (breath and vital energy) and shen (spiritual and mental energy). The author presents the nine Jade Dragon exercises that strengthen erections, enlarge the penis, increase semen quantity and quality, prevent premature ejaculations, and enhance sexual energy. He also details herbal remedies for revitalization that address both physical and spiritual sexual components, as well as ancient Taoist breathing and meditative practices and sexual stimulation techniques that amplify sexual intensity in order to create the elixir of immortality. Concluding with the importance of the interactions between and interdependence of White Tigresses and Jade Dragons, Hsi Lai shows the reader how these ancient Taoist secrets can be incorporated into a contemporary lifestyle. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Saying All That Can Be Said Keith McMahon, 2024-09-09 In Saying All That Can Be Said, Keith McMahon presents the first full analysis of the sexually explicit portrayals in the Ming novel Jin Ping Mei 金瓶梅 (The Plum in the Golden Vase). Countering common views of those portrayals as “just sex” or as “bad sex,” he shows that they are rich in thematic meaning and loaded with social and aesthetic purpose. McMahon places the novel in the historical context of Chinese sexual culture, from which Jin Ping Mei inherits the style of the elegant, metaphorical description of erotic pleasure, but which the anonymous author extends in an exploration of the explicit, the obscene, and the graphic. The novel uses explicit description to evaluate and comment on characters, situations, and sexual and psychic states of being. Echoing the novel’s way of taking sex as a vehicle for reading the world, McMahon celebrates the richness and exuberance of Jin Ping Mei’s language of sex, which refuses imprisonment within the boundaries of orthodox culture’s cleanly authoritative style, and which continues to inspire admiration from readers around the world. Saying All That Can Be Said will change the way we think about sexual culture in premodern China. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Sexual Life in Ancient China R.H. van Gulik, 2021-10-01 In 1961 Robert van Gulik published his pioneering overview of Sexual Life in Ancient China. This edition of the work is preceded by an elaborate introduction by Paul Rakita Goldin assessing the value of Van Gulik’s volume, the subject itself, and its author. The introduction is followed by an extensive and up-to-date bibliography on the subject, which guides the modern reader in the literature on the field which appeared after the publication of Van Gulik's volume. One of the criticisms in 1961 regarded the Latin translations of passages deemed too explicit by Van Gulik. In this 2002 edition all Latin has for the first time been translated into unambiguous English, thus making the full text widely available to an academic audience. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: A Stairway to Heaven: Daoist Self-Cultivation in Early Modern China Paul van Enckevort, 2024-11-04 By the eleventh century, communities of religious practitioners in China had developed a theory and practice of meditative self-cultivation that combined the so-called Three Teachings. By the seventeenth century, Wu Shouyang created a synthesis of the various lineages of this “inner alchemy,” combining it with elements from Buddhism and Confucianism. By the late nineteenth century, his writings had become bestsellers in the genre and his became the standard account of this tradition. This first book-length English-language study of Wu Shouyang’s life and works introduces his remarkable life and formulates answers to fundamental questions about this important tradition. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Living Tantra Jan Day, 2021-11-09 Tantra originated in India many centuries ago but it's uniquely placed to help people use real life as grist to the mill for spiritual transformation. The purpose of the book is to articulate what Tantra can be in our modern times and how it can be applied to all aspects of our everyday life. Traditionally Tantra was a path that brought spirituality out of the caves and monasteries and into the life of householders. It didnÕt seek to separate sexuality and spirituality and to force people to make a choice but rather to integrate the life of family and relationship with spirituality. This includes sexuality but itÕs not all about sexuality, and this is a rare book that applies Tantra to every aspect of life. Living Tantra is a body of work that aims to bring the essence and core message of tantra into relevance for our contemporary life and society as a path of spiritual growth and human development. ItÕs based on her legendary workshops which book up via word of mouth and attracts attendees from across Europe and North America, especially Sweden, Austria, USA, Germany, Spain and the Czech Republic. The exercises here come out of these workshops and mean that we can benefit from this work in our own homes. The principles of Living Tantra are to use all life, all experience to learn and become more conscious of ourselves and the world around us, to care more for ourselves, each other and the world and to develop greater compassion. Tantra includes everything. It is Òthe weaving together of all that isÓ. |

| sexual alchemy meaning: Tantrism: Sex Magick for the Soul Joseph Leal, 2018-05-29 Modern spirituality and new age information is filled with distortions, misconceptions, and is leading humanity astray from our individual ascension. The power and connection to the soul has never been so limited and continues to create a world that is predominately living in their minds. We all have the power to become magical. We all have the power to live out our dreams and find a true soulmate. Working with sexual energy in tantric relationships is required to have an energetic impact on the non-physical (astral) planes to create astrally a future we wish to create, rather than face the destiny that the matrix or time has in store for us. We entered this world choosing our character knowing how our life would begin and how it will end. Ascension means creating our future astrally before we experience our fixed destiny. This is what magic and our lesson as humans is all about. |
| sexual alchemy meaning: The Syndetic Paradigm Robert Aziz, 2012-02-01 In The Syndetic Paradigm, Robert Aziz argues that the Jungian Paradigm is a deeply flawed theoretical model that falls short of its promise. Aziz offers in its stead what he calls the Syndetic Paradigm. In contrast to the Jungian Paradigm, the Syndetic Paradigm takes the critical theoretical step of moving from a closed-system model of a self-regulatory psyche to an open-system model of a psyche in a self-organizing totality. The Syndetic Paradigm, in this regard, holds that all of life is bound together in a highly complex whole through an ongoing process of spontaneous self-organization. The new theoretical model that emerges in Aziz's work, while taking up the fundamental concerns of its Freudian and Jungian predecessors with psychology, ethics, spirituality, sexuality, politics, and culture, conducts us to an experience of meaning that altogether exceeds their respective bounds. |
