Friends,
So excited to finally be talking directly about sex and the occult on my show, and there’s no one I’d rather do that with than author and teacher, and Christian occultist Lisa Romero!
Lisa has written multiple (excellent) books on meditation and spiritual development, but the one that drew me to have her on for this episode was her excellent book, Sex Education and the Spirit: Understanding Our Communal Responsibility for the Healthy Development of Gender and Sexuality within Society. It’s a book that looks at sex and sexuality from a developmental perspective, but in a spiritual way, rather than from a materialistic perspective.This episode goes really deep and presupposes your ability to go on the magical mystery tour with us. But there are lots of insights to be had by the secular as well. I hope whatever your belief system is, you’ll stick with it.
We discuss:
- what sex is, anyway, from a non-materialistic view, especially in the light of the evolution of consciousness.
- how we all have individuated relationships to sex (and what that has to do with freedom).
- the scientific definition of sex and why that matters now.
- how sex and attraction get confusing when different aspects of our being get into conflict with each other.
- why a Christian occultist approach to sex never takes the form of “don’t do this.”
- how sexuality gives us the ability to transform our lives and bring our spiritual development forward.
- the Catholic Church developing its response to sex in response to the Reformation.
- the problems with the sex positive movement.
- the four levels of attraction and how they relate to the subtle bodies.
- displaced sex as a creative process.
- what anthroposophists can learn from Freud and Lacan.
- why masturbating men should hook themselves up to the power grid.
- why Conner doesn’t do or care about “sex magic.”
