hello SPACEDAWG,
welcome to the list... many folks here have found that we can express both our
spirituality and sexuality in harmony... i have a feeling this post from Mystress
Angelique Serpent might be helpful for you.(see below).. it is a lesson from her
Fire-Serpent Tantra course: www.fire-serpent.com
earlier in my life, this apparent duality of spirituality/sexuality caused me much
distress, as like with you, both parts of my life were very sxtrong in me... please feel
free to ask me anything you like about the topic, either onlist or in private email...
warmly,
percyval

> The unconscious mind has a billion times the intelligence of the ego and

> get in touch with your unconscious mind and surrender to it, the more
> information you start getting about what is "All That Is". And for both men

> Now, what I want you to do, is first of all, we just want to meet this

> The person of your dreams is gonna show up inside of you, and if you've

> femdom tantra, because both genders are surrendering to allow themselves to
> become a vessel of the inner Divine Beloved.
>
> Now, I want to clarify something, your unconscious can show up as anything.
> It can show up as a dragon, or as an animal like a totem, or as a fish, or
> anything like that. It can show up as anything; it WILL show up as
> something that you can love.
>
> So take a few minutes, and start thinking about what you love, and have a
> Conversation with it inside of your mind. And if you find in the course of

> than anyone else on the planet ever possibly could. Let it love you. It
