This book examines the history of sexuality as a sacramental act. Regardless of our culture’s contemporary sexual liberalizations, sexual intimacy steadily remains unfulfilling. Georg Feuerstein instructs that the fulfillment we long for in our sex lives can only be attained once we now have explored the spiritual depths of our erotic natures.
Feuerstein delves into all kinds of spiritual traditions–including Christianity, Judaism, goddess worship, Taoism, and Hinduism–searching for sacred truths regarding sexuality. He reveals that each one of these great teachings share the hidden message that spirituality is, in essence, erotic and that sexuality is inherently spiritual. From the erotic cult of the Great Mother and the archaic ritual of
hieros gamos (sacred marriage) to the institution of sacred prostitution and the erotic spirituality practiced in the mystery traditions, Feuerstein offers a wealth of historical practices and perspectives that serve as the bases for a positive sexual spirituality suited to our up to date needs.
