Dear List,

I was annoyed by this also. People tells us we are supposed to "get beyond"
both bliss and sex, as if there is something wrong with either! I'm
beginning to think that New Age Fundamentalists are just as bad as Christian
Fundamentalists, and it's all just new age PC propaganda. I'm wondering
where
the "get past the bliss" idea came from and when. Does anyone know? St.
Teresa certainly wasn't told to "get over it!"
Throughout history I believe achieving "Bliss" was actually the "goal."
There's a great passage in Sri Ramana Maharshi's *Talks*:
(p. 102)

Question: "...How to get Bliss? "

Maharshi: "Bliss is not something to be got. On the other hand you are
always Bliss. This desire is born of the sense of incompleteness...What has
interposed between that Bliss and this non bliss? It is the ego. Seek its
source and find you are Bliss.
"There is nothing new to get. ... Trace the source of the ego. Then the
ego is lost and Bliss remains over. It is eternal. You are That, here and
now..."

Bliss, to me, is not a preference, it is a state of being. And I wonder,
also, if it matters how this bliss is triggered--whether from the lower
"sexual" chakras or the heart or head chakras. I feel they are all
"God/dess" inspired. I know I experience the bliss through the lower
chakras, the heart chakra and the upper chakras. (Not so much in the
stomach
or throat chakras.)

In any case, we are all exactly where we are supposed to be, in my opinion!

Love, Hillary

 Thanks Hillary for this good dose of common sense! Always appreciate your
mature perspective. Paradoxically, perhaps to be at peace with where we are,
allows us to see that our nature is that of peace and bliss.
May all beings be in peace and joy.

Love
Harsha
