THE NEXT STEP - THE SACREDNESS OF SEX
What is sacredness?

The most common and accepted definition of sacredness is:

'That which is holy, consecrated to God or the Divine. Pertaining to worship or service of God or the Divine.'

Put simply then, to talk of sacred sexuality is, at the very least, to acknowledge that as humans we are created in the image of God, and we know that God declared that everything he created was 'very good'. It follows then that our sexuality and sexual body parts are God's masterpieces of design and that in a real way they reflect very powerfully something of the deepest nature of God. Most cultures since the dawn of time have had a deep awareness that our sexuality and sexual body parts are endowed with a unique and special sacredness which has, in some very real and unique way, at least the potential to usher us through the veil that separates us from the parallel world of Spirit and into the presence of God.
The way ahead requires that certain key questions be asked.
Questions like:

• If sex is sacred, in what way is it sacred and how does this work?
• How do we turn vague concepts into a living experience?
• What are the practical results?
• If one major part of sacred sex is about producing a powerful bonding between a couple, how is this bonding achieved?
• What is it in the way we are created that makes this undoubted bonding possible?
• If we conclude that one possible result of this sacredness is that we are also, in a special way, opened up to the presence of God, how does this happen?
