Permit me the concept of the rose

the perfumed labyrinth

that leads one petal at a time

into oblivion’s heart

There are visions within the silence of the rose

…and I not only see but am all possibilities

of time and space and change

–Lenore Kandel

the divine is not separate from the beast; it is the total creature that

transcends itself

the messiah that has been invoked is already here
–Lenore Kandel

Praise be to Eros who loves only beauty

and finds it everywhere

…sharing his own soft wanton grace

with all who let his presence enter in

faithless as flowers, fickle as the wind-borne butterfly
–Lenore Kandel

“Joy Song,”

my beloved wields his sex

          like a hummingbird

poised on the delicate brink

What pleasure to be a honey plant

                  and

             open wide

—Lenore Kandel

The Senoi are (were) a Malaysian hunting and gathering tribe brought to the attention of the West by Kilton Stewart. His descriptions of this happy tribe, free of disease and mental illness due to their morning dream sharing and techniques of dream control, were first described in the early 1950’s though the research itself took place before the Second World War.

The dreamwork principles are summarized by Domhoff: (via Stewart and Garfield,1985, pg 9) and still valuable and worth repeating:

1. Always confront and conquer danger in dreams. If an animal looms out of the jungle, go toward it. If someone attacks you, fight back.

2. Always move toward pleasurable experiences in dreams. If you are attracted to someone in a dream, feel free to turn the attraction into a full sexual experience. If you are enjoying the pleasurable sensations of flying or swimming, relax and experience them fully.

3.Always make your dreams have a positive outcome and extract a creative product form them. Best of all in this regard, try to obtain a gift from the dream images, such as a poem, a song, a dance, a design, or a painting.

[Sex][cunnilingus][Kama Sutra]

 In the West,sexual intercourse is frequently seen as the act of copulation or the act ,together with the foreplay.The Vedic scriptures,on the other hand see all relations between members of  the opposite sex as varying aspects of coition.

For example,even thinking or visualising of the sexual act will,to some degree, change the vibrational polarity of the person who is doing the visualisation. So this is seen as one part of the sex act.

Ancient Hindu texts speak of eight distinct aspects of sexual interaction. These are:

1.Smarnaman–allowing your thoughts to dwell on intercourse

2.Kirtanam–Discusiing it with another person.

3.Keli–Keeping company with the opposite sex.

4.Prekshenam–Flirting

5. Guhyabhashanam–Intimate conversation with someone of the opposite sex.

6.Samkalpa–Desire for sexual union

7.Adhyavasayam-–Firm decision to engage in sexual union.

8.Kriyanishpatti–Actual physical intercourse.
