Sacred Union, a Tibetan tantric approach to the couple’s relationship.

To ensure the survival of the human race, nature has endowed us with sexual energy. This is simply our animalistic nature, a powerful energy, neither good nor bad. What makes the difference is the way we handle it. If we free ourselves from desire-attachment and lust, this sexual energy is no longer messed up, giving rise to innumerable suffering. This freedom occurs when we really understand what the cycle of existence is (Samsara, the eternal cycle of rebirths from the highs to the lows, from happiness to misery) and how the very desire to reproduce, to ejaculate, to have an orgasm, is the desire to perpetuate one’s own existence in Samsara.

The path starts with a natural “fatigue” from this cycle, and then all one’s physio-psycho-spiritual motivation is oriented towards cutting the cause. One advances on this path, until at some point when there is no possibility of falling back, an auspicious synchronicity could happen, to walk together with someone of the opposite sex, following the swift path of Sacred Matrimony.  At the point of the exchange of energies, culminating in sexual intercourse, the sexual potential transforms into a blissful consciousness, which is very deep, powerful, and subtle, that causes the dissolution of vital energies just as it will happen at the moment of death, at the moment when the Pure (infinite) Light of “Beingness” rises with great power.

When there is Consciousness in the love making it is like returning Home. When there is not, there is unconsciousness, attachment, fear of losing, etc.; attraction to the familiar dim lights of our passions.

In other words, this Consciousness transmutes the orgasmic energy at the time it arises, so it is NOT culminating as an orgasmic climax in our human vehicle increasing our passions. This transcendental potential transforms any type of limitation that may exist within and without. This is a path to enlightenment where male/female relations increase freedom and constantly get better and better until the end of life. This is the only way monogamy makes sense.
