Sex is the Answer: What does that Mean? Marc Gafni
There are those who have told me….shhh- do not talk about sexuality; someone might hear you:)
but if i have learned anything in the past few years it is about sexuality, it’s beauty and it’s demonization. So at least for the next period of time, that is what I will talk about!
Big and gorgeous open heart blessing to everyone.
Thank you for reading…

Sex is the Answer
Is there anything else that so grabs our rapt attention, incessantly pursues us, occupies our daydreams, fantasies and yearnings? The kabbalists state the obvious, God is trying to get our attention. Now I am not talking about the God who sends good people to burn in hell because they slipped up on one of his impossible demands. Nor even the Grandfather in heaven who hands out chocolate to do-gooders. Forget that God. The God you don’t believe in doesn’t exist. Rather, the God that exists for us is the personal erotic life force that courses through reality. The God we believe in is the vitality of eros. The God we believe in is the force for healing and transformation in the world. The God who knows our name94. That is the God who so clearly calls out to us that sex is the answer.
When religion splits us off from our sexuality, we correctly intuit that something is deeply askew. But sex is not a panacea. Sex is not a drug that will soothe away the lurking feeling of ennui that this cannot be all there is. Good orgasms will not a good life make. Rather, sex is the answer as a model and not as the sum total of eros. Sex, if we will but listen, is a great master of the spirit — better than any guru, psychologist, rabbi or priest. Sex can teach us how to reclaim the erotic in every aspect and element of our lives.
That is the essence of Hebrew tantra, the kabbalistic secret of the cherubs.
The core of Hebrew tantrism was the cherubic mysteries which taught that the sexual was more than a force to be merely controlled or merely indulged. Rather the sexual in all of its intense pleasure is the model for all spiritual wisdom. The goal of spiritual living is to become a lover and to engage all of life erotically. Sex is our most important guide, offering glimmerings of guidance which pave the way to illumination. Illumination, in Hebrew called Zohar, is achieved when one lives erotically in every facet of being. The cherubic mysteries – which we will unpack explicitly in these blogs for the first time in two thousand years – teach you how. It is this tantric system which was the hidden core of the mysteries in Solomon’s Temple.
