Since you are of the nature of Being, since you are yourself Divine Being, you are also inherently loving, free, and happy. However, we tend to deviate from our true nature, and so we suffer the temporary loss of our inherent disposition.

When we no longer feel happy, free, and loving, we begin to search. The direction in which we search--whether through greater power or creativity, more money, or better sex--is always a deviation from the direct realization of our true Being.

Whereas the Feminine tends to deviate by searching for more love, the Masculine tends to deviate by searching for more freedom, release, or even death-like states of tension-free stillness.

Many men, for example, experience orgasm as an approximation of this feeling of freedom, release, and tension-free stillness. Their feeling after orgasm is like a little

We must admit, finally, that orgasm does not satisfy this desire for very long. True, we experience a death-like peace after orgasm--and such temporary bliss is also reported by soldiers, athletes, and philosophers. That is, there are many ways to approximate the ultimate realization of ego-death, but none of them are the real thing. And this is what we must come to admit.

A very common deviation for men, therefore, is to become addicted to seeking orgasm. That is, rather than following their basic impulse all the way to the point of true freedom--which is called ego-death in many spiritual traditions--many men settle for the repeated little death of orgasm. Orgasm (or TV or beer) is their chosen method for being released from their constricted sense of self. They are not yet awakened to the absolute freedom of their true nature, relaxing deeply into the vast openness of their true Being. Instead, they repeat their habitual method for attaining temporary and relatively superficial release.

When you reconnect with your primary impulse, your energy and attention is gathered from the deviant pattern and you can relax into the true contemplation of your very Being, which is inherently free, loving, and happy. In any moment of this third-stage practice, you have ceased pouring your energy and attention into a deviation, into an approximation of death-like release, and you have instead gathered yourself into the singular realization of your true Being. This is your daily practice in Intimate Communion.

How do we grow out of our habits of deviation? How do we grow beyond our obsession with violence, orgasm, and philosophy? (Philosophy is, after all, a desire to be released by knowledge, rather then by sex or violence.) We grow out of our present deviance by re-connecting with our fundamental Masculine impulse for release, for freedom.

We must realize that there is nothing wrong with the Masculine desire for "death" and release, in and of itself. It is our obligation, however, to couple this desire with the true motive of our heart, the deepest desire for freedom, love, or happiness, inherent to our Being. It is certainl
