what of if sex is really sacred?
or rather,what do we really mean by the sacred?
is it a quality we ascribe to phenomena or a quality perceive in phenomena
how could we distingugh between thses destinctions
these questions,about a quality,the sacred,as intrinsic to phenomena and recognised by us or as a quality or category the human mind constructs in relation to phenomena
implies questions about the relationship between the mind and its ideas and between mind,ideas and the concerete particulars of the world.
perhaps we can fall back upon,or take a cue from our experince of our material acitivity,our physical acxtionms and the effects we obsrve in relation to them.
this might lead into issues of what uplifts thew self,and the chracter of this uplift.and the relatiuonship of this to what is descroibed as the sacred.
i have in mind yoga,which uses the manipulation of the body as a means of arriving at highre steates of conscuoisness.
yoga uses discplined breating in achieving its goals.i have also observed the influence of brathing on my sdtate of mind and i uses deep breathing to compose myself,to calm my emotions.
so the body clearly affects the mind,as can bew observed from inflicting pleasurable or painful effects on the body.is it not possible,then,to use the body to arrive at effcets that could relate to the sacred?
along these lines,
