It’s Cosmasmic!
Music Muse of the Day – Blues on Purpose by Nina Simone

No lyrics on this today, and none are needed. Today is about sitting back, relaxing, being chill, just being. We have been through the grime and the muck for the last few weeks together, and we have danced naked in our own beauty and worth. So, today I am reminded to just be – on purpose!
When we are on our “spiritual path” and discovering those “ah-hah!” moments, we get so caught up in the I’m so spiritual paradigm that we forget to just experience. It’s not all seriousness and holier than thou-ness. We gotta break it up, turn it on, and have some fun, people! We gotta sit back and listen and play and explore. We gotta enjoy pleasure for pure pleasure, and that includes bringing lust and love back together as partners.
In a discussion I’ve entered on Facebook, the question was asked when love and lust became separated and when did having sex become so obliterated by the sex is dirty crowd. When did physical pleasure become so bad? As Courtney Walsh said, we know about patriarchy and matriarchy and all of that story, and we, as “spiritual people” are so quick to talk about energy and energy exchange with the wrong person and blah, blah, blah. We all know this and understand it, but the question is why is it so wrong to purely enjoy a physical pleasure just for the sake of enjoyment.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying to be promiscuous or engage in affairs or indiscriminate sex, unless that is what is mutually consensual for you and your partner. What I am saying is to get the sex is dirty-ness out of the bedroom or whichever room you choose, and really Be with your partner. Lust after your partner – open yourselves up to the pure, raw emotion of two beings that honor and love each other. Allow yourself and allow your partner to see the beauty of joining together for the pleasure of uniting – the pleasure of lusting.
In the discussion thread started by Courtney A. Walsh, she states, “We’re so used to porn or preachers on this topic that we do not even explore or discover what feels good for us in this arena. That’s the greatest self-inflicted violence perpetrated by both MEN AND WOMEN” (Walsh, 2014). There no truer words than these. Love and Lust belong together and should be a part of pleasure between two partners. As Walsh stated, “It is about energy, not technique” (Walsh, 2014). That is what is so lost now.
We need to bring love and lust back together as partners. Energy exchange and communication between partners. Exploration and mutual enjoyment. Opening to all possibilities. Stretching limits. Loving ourselves. Honoring ourselves. It’s all a part of it. It is all a part of Dancing Naked together – whole and complete and having that cosmasmic experience with someone we recognize as part of our whole and our connection to the Cosmic Source.
So, maybe instead of Blues on Purpose, it should be Lust on Purpose? Ya think?
