“Within this union of feminine and masculine, an intimate space opens – one that is both creative and interpretive. Because in this communal horizon of intermingling, feminine and masculine identities are constantly reinterpreted rather than abolished. Instead, their relation is dialogical, since in their yoking together there is no domination of one over the other. Enmeshed as one in fleeting orgasmic pleasure compels the question ‘Who am I?’ within the bewilderment of sexual ecstasy. Ibn al-‘Arabi emphasises that the pleasure one experiences is the pleasure of encountering the divine.”

I love this is passage so much. I have experienced this kind of psychic change within myself when it comes to sexuality. I’m realizing the channel between the divine and certain kinds of orgasms. Even when stimulating oneself, I can feel the energy in my connection to spirit strengthening or weakening depending on what kind of intentions I set beforehand.

I really enjoyed this read 🤍
