Hi, Lillian –

I did not interpret Anastasia to say that sex without procreation is a “sin”. That sounds like an interpretation based on western puritanical thought. I think it will become more clear to you as you continue reading. Each book builds on the previous ones in the series of ten, so you have some juicy stuff coming up! The next two – The Space of Love and Co-creation – will expand on the image so that it will be more clear.

What is so clearly valuable to Anastasia is for a person, and at some point a couple, to have land of their own to create a mini-paradise of love and life, then to co-create a new being or beings into that space who will be born there, live there, and be buried there. This is in stark contrast to the way we have been mis-taught, that sex is the main goal in relationship. With this teaching, having money to buy sexy clothes, flashy cars, aesthetically pleasing but non-productive houses and yards, et cetera, are the means to achieve the goal of possessing the real prize – a sexy body with which to express your mental fantasies.

This explains why homosexuality becomes more prevalent in urban societies. If the goal ends with possessing a fantastic body, there is no need for that body to be of the opposite sex, because the goal is short-sighted in that it does not include having a productive legacy land for you and your progeny to enjoy in perpetuity.

This is similar to the quandary presented by this discussion:
“When we hear the word Tantra, we’re usually talking about Tantric sex. But this “sexy” side of Tantra is a Westernized and often commercialized evolution of a centuries-old philosophy and practice that emerged from Asia. While some of those original spiritual and ritual practices included developing pathways to physical pleasure and heightened desire, Tantra was originally about awakening the chakras and achieving the ultimate bliss: connection to the divine.” (From https://www.yogajournal.com/lifestyle/truth-tantra/.)

Interestingly, the above article indicates that Tantra arose in the Vedic region of Asia, sharing the same origin as the Vedruss culture. Tantra seems to have been a return by the people to their roots in the face of dogmatic teachings by the monks and nuns.

Enjoy your continued reading of the Ringing Cedars series!

Everything (And We Mean Everything) You Ever Wanted to Know About Tantra

It’s not just about pleasure, or sex. Tantra promises a closer connection to the divine through deeper intimacy with others.
