I find, that there is no line. The two are one. So much of so-called spirituality is about escaping the body... but I find that celebrating the body is of more value. Kundalini has made me more alive, more sensual, more ecstatic, more blissful.

I would say, the edge lies in enjoying the sensuality, without attaching to it... loving, and letting go. Which actually leaves you open to new and different forms of sensuality.

Yes, very beautiful. Fabulous book.
Life, has no meaning, of itself... it just Is. It is the purpose and meanings that we choose for ourselves, that come of our experiences, make all the difference. Sure, they too can become attachments to be surrendered... what is given to Goddess, comes back better, if it is meant to be.
Recently, I quoted from "The Little Prince", by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, for the benefit of one of my FST students. Such a lovely story, beautiful man. It was he who wrote,
"It is only with the heart, that one can see clearly. What is essential, is invisible to the eye."
I have found the book online, the link is below. Here is the passage I am thinking of. The Prince said:
"And at night you will look up at the stars. Where I live everything is so small that I cannot show you where my star is to be found. It is better, like that. My star will just be one of the stars, for you. And so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens . . . they will all be your friends. And, besides, I am going to make you a present . . ."
He laughed again.
"Ah, little prince, dear little prince! I love to hear that laughter!"
"That is my present. Just that. It will be as it was when we drank the water . . ."
"What are you trying to say?"
"All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You--you alone--will have the stars as no one else has them--"
"What are you trying to say?"
"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night . . . You--only you--will have stars that can laugh!"
And he laughed again.
"And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure . . . And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, 'Yes, the stars always make me laugh!' And they will think you are crazy. It will be a very shabby trick that I shall have played on you . . ."
And he laughed again.
"It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh . . ." >>>
Life has no meaning, but the meaning we give to it... makes all the difference. You surrendered all meanings, and Goddess gave you back a richly meaningful life. >>
