Hasan Sonsuz Celiktas - Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex and Spirituality (The Wise Book 13)

Kindle Edition, 2013 derKi Publications

For a Scorpio, sex is a little like breathing. Of course, all the signs of the Zodiac have different characteristics related to sexuality, but none of the others are directly associated with it. Everyone is drawn toward Scorpios. They are mysterious with an intense sexual appeal. Its actually quite a strange sign, because a Scorpio also likes loneliness, does not reveal his feelings, and likes manipulating things. Theres also this jealousy thing. Because of this, many people try to keep their distance from Scorpios. People either love them or hate them, and this is normal for Scorpios because there are no shades of gray for them; everything is either black or white.

Well, as a member of this lovely sign, Im always crazy about any matter regarding sexuality. If I want, I can easily lead a conversation toward sex within minutes. If I meet another Scorpio, I only need a day before we can talk about sex. On the other hand, I believe something is wrong with this. Ive had many intimate relationships in my life, and they were all good, but I was never fully satisfied. Naturally, sexuality was always a great part of these relationships, but I never thought Yes, this is it!

While I was in Egypt during April 2012, I had a Family Constellation session with an expert called Mine Dural. We will have a special session with you, Hasan, she said, We will look at your stages of consciousness. Lets see what we find out. This session really changed my life. She separated my life into three stageschildhood, adolescence, and adulthoodand started our session. I realized I could not pass through the adolescence period. Mine told me this was normal because we are collectively stuck at that stage of consciousness, but I was disappointed nonetheless after being faced with this truth. Of course, the relief came afterwards. When you enter a room that has been closed for many years, you first smell the mold and moisture, but that musty odor goes away when you open the window. The fresh air comes in, and that old feeling goes out as more new air comes in. Then you finally begin cleaning and rearranging the room.

The same was true for me. After we returned from Egypt, we had more detailed sessions with Mine, and I discovered all my adolescent sides one by one. This had nothing to do with underestimating this stage. Perhaps I should say, I established the areas of my life where I was stuck in the adolescent stage. Yes, this is what I was experiencing. My consciousness had to experience this adolescent stage, because this period existed to prepare me for a mature stage. However, many of my attitudes were stuck there. I was lucky I had the chance to solve it. (Family constellation sessions create a trigger effect, and if you observe yourself successfully, then the rest is easy.)

As you can imagine, I was stuck in my approaches to sex and sexuality. When I observed myself, I met with a fourteen-year-old boy masturbating behind closed doors and trying not to be seen by his parents. Yes, my consciousness was at this stage. Of course, this boy has since grown up and had sex many times, but his consciousness never got to know about the real sex. Funny but this was what lay in my subconscious: Ive scored again. Yeah, Im a real man. Look dad, Im a man. Ive grown up It was an effort to prove my manhood. Its like the more sex you have, the stronger you are. I must admit I didnt feel well when I watched this scene during the session. It was hard to accept, very hard indeed.

I then realized many things during my interview with Cem en for this issue of The Wise . You will read it later, but let me summarize. Cem tells about chasing our desires and the stress of wanting to repeat the same experience after good sex. He then talks about our environments, pointing out that our brains are motivated by sex through the media especially. In short, he says there are more joyful energies than sex in the cosmos. I was shocked when I first heard this, but everything fell into place after a while. I hope you will also benefit from this interview.

I feel now that something has started to change my perception of sexuality. I feel now like I was drawn to sex just because I wanted to experience it rather than because of a real need. Its not to feel stronger or because my mind wants it. Yes, Ive evolved on this matter. Moreover, Ive started to experience the joy of other energies. I think I took a step toward understanding what Cem meant. This does not mean I will suppress my sexuality and commit myself to divine energies, because that would be hypocrisy. I just feel that there is another more satisfying universe before me, and Im about to discover it. Im merely at the beginning of this journey, and I will be sharing my experiences with you as I discover new things on this path.

Now, you can start your own journey by reading the articles in this issue. I hope my interview with Cem en will unlock many doors and trigger new experiences for you as well.

Enjoy the read!

Dear Cem, were now in our third year of The Wise , and weve opted for a pretty colorful cover topic for this issue: Spirituality and Sexuality. Youve written books on the subject, and I imagine theres a lot of useful information we can glean from you. Lets start with a direct question: In your opinion, what is the meaning of sex?

Cem en
To reproduce.

Hasan Sonsuz elikta
Really?

Cem en
Yes! Well, you know me. I like to state the very core of the matter.

Hasan Sonsuz elikta
To reproduce? Is that all? I mean, what about raising the Kundalini , attaining the state of divinity, sharing love, and so on? Doesnt your statement reduce it to a mere animal act?

Cem en
Im well educated about this, Hasan. I know what comes to mind when someone says, educated, but I prefer to proceed with a smile and leave it to peoples imaginations. Every single person with a proper education in this matter knows that the most advanced sexual techniques have a single aim: to put an end to the sexual urges. Hasan, would you prefer me to recite some airy-fairy, sugary-fluff about this, or would you rather ask me about something else?

Hasan Sonsuz elikta
I want to hear all there is, because Im curious as to why people gradually become increasingly asexual on their spiritual journeys.

Cem en
Okay, I will try to explain, Hasan. Youve first got to understand this, though: Any kind of voluntary action creates a tension. This tension becomes confused with other emotions because of the lack of awareness. For instance, some time ago, I was driving in my own car to Mount Ida, where I was to practice at the Great Heart Way retreat with my pupils. After arriving on anakkale by ferry, I started craving semolina dessert with fresh cheese while driving around the Mirrored Bazaar. The desire was so great that I could already taste the cheese. An elder master near the Mirrored Bazaar makes the best semolina desserts, but my awareness saved me just as I was deciding whether I should take the next turn or not. I asked myself, Are you hungry? I realized I wasnt because Id eaten a toasted sandwich on the ferry. Even though it had been extremely bland, I was full. Did I need sugar? Hardly, because to need sugar, just like to need carbon, is not possible for a human. Besides, I couldnt need it because I wasnt hungry at all. So then, what was this urge?
