Eastern Influences

Another seggsy Sunday cartoon!

Back when I was a teenager in youth group, the big demonic threat at the time was Transcendental Meditation. 

In fact, anything Eastern.

To dabble in anything from the East was opening a door for demons to come rushing in.

TM, Yoga, Tantra, Kama Sutra, anything Buddhist, Hindu, Indian, meditation, even lotus posture... anything to do with anything Eastern like that... was demonic.

Vulnerability confession time:

Although regret isn't a big thing for me when it comes to my deconstruction, I do wish that I had delved into tantric sex earlier in our marriage. I've been researching it with reading and videos and instructions, and I realize now that it would have been very beneficial for me and for our marriage and sex life.

For me, it's about grounding, centring, being present, being here now, out of my head and into my body. For so many years I lived in my head, to the detriment of my body and my spiritual and even mental health.

I'm so much happier now.
So much more present. 

Yes, more present! 

And Lisa loves this.

I'm better. 
We're better.
Sex is better.

Which means... IT WORKS! 

Ah! Maybe THIS is why the church warns us against it.

If people gain insight, get relief, discover healing, experience joy, or find fulfillment anywhere else, it threatens the whole exclusive attitude of Christianity and the Church.

It means the church isn't the only one who's got answers.
