Call me crazy but there are no hard and fast rules...only conventions. In a
free will universe all is permissable even that which may be grotesque and
horrify many. I think many gurus are expressing this level of realization.
My issue with it is when there is the hypocrisy of morality. However, in a
free will universe we are also free to lie or tell the truth. Our sexual
energy is one of the most potent forces in the universe. When combined with
love it is transformed from the sublime to the divine. All is permitted and
in the midst of the reality of truly soverign beings no one is ever really
taken advantage of...So, we should take great care in whom we invest our
power.
