In
order to understand what omnisexuality is, it is perhaps easiest to
first understand what it is not.
From
the very beginning of time... well, from the point where we had fixed
linear time as a conceptual reality, at least... we have put in place
all sorts of clever devices to keep us 'small,' from remembering that
we are omnipotent beings and masters in everything we do. And as we
have come here to experience physicality in separation from the Oneness,
it was important to limit not only physicality itself but also its connection
to our spiritual origins.
Despite
drawing the veils on those origins, we were still the masters of manifestation.
Even in our "unconsciousness" we were able to create a brilliant
set of limitations which we call morality. Not being a singular phenomenon,
it is more like a toolkit and comprises a hole range of breathtakingly
limiting control mechanisms such as guilt, shame, judgement, righteousness
and evil. This one package has permeated almost every aspect of civilisation
- both western and eastern. Most religions have some form of morality
as their foundation and the societies in which those religions function
have also adopted those morals as a method of controlling their citizens
on a day to day basis.
Sexuality
is, of course, at the very centre of morality, just as it is at the
very centre of our being. And the first thing we notice is that sexuality
is defined as a physical thing. In the eyes of the various religions,
it is an animal-like force that will consume us if left to its own devices
and therefore needs to be controlled. Thanks largely to the Garden of
Eden fable, woman is perceived as the temptress while man is quite happy
disempowering himself as the helpless servant of his penis which, alone,
makes all the decisions and, alone, is responsible for its actions.
In
order that evil and righteousness fulfil their intended functions, it
was important to place all sorts of unnatural constraints upon the participants
in this illusion of separateness. Monogamous heterosexuality became
an excellent method of limiting human potential... as did the separation
of sexuality and spirituality. In one fell swoop, it became possible
to judge (and see evil in) those who saw their neighbours as sexual
beings, who were open to expressing their sexuality with anyone they
felt to (regardless of their gender), who found that their passion for
God was related to their passion for life and that everything was an
expression of the Oneness and could not be separated into the baseness
of sexuality on the one hand and the highest adoration of the Creator
on the other. All of a sudden, sexuality had been relegated to the lower
chakras while the pursuit of a spiritual path had become the realm of
the highest two or three. In short, we had created two polarised viewing
platforms from which to see the same thing.
Now
that we have determined what omnisexuality is not, let's look at what
it is.
Omnisexuality
is more a state of awareness than anything else. It is the reunification
of the separate aspects of physicality and spirituality in relation
to the feeling of bliss that one experiences for such a tiny moment
in orgasm or to a much greater extent in adoration of the Creator.
Perfection
is everywhere. The concept of ugliness is nothing more than a state
of mind - based largely on our self-image. Once we relearn to see through
spirit's eyes, we see only beauty and perceive the sexual nature of
everything and no longer feel the need to see it as just a physical
thing. No longer programmed to respond only to a member of the opposite
gender... usually in some physical sense (or to one of the same, if
one's sexual orientation is "homosexual"), we now see the
Divinity in all of our interactions. We get a small glimpse of that
Divinity when we fell in love. In those early moments of relationship,
we open ourselves to the mirror of Divinity and for just a short while
everything is blissful, nobody can upset us and our beloved is the very
essence of perfection... even a glance in the bathroom mirror reveals
a perfect image.
It
is that state of bliss that is the key to our omnisexual nature. Yet
we cannot sustain this perfect state, or at least we believe we cannot.
After a while it just becomes too much to bear and we set about minimising
this new-found relationship to a level with which we are more comfortable.
We begin to set boundaries, to make co-dependent agreements, to put
conditions on love and turn it back into fear... the denial of our spiritual
origins. And if we still perceive ourselves as heterosexual or homosexual
or bisexual, we are still coming from a place of separation and fear,
regardless of how open-minded we think we are concerning sexuality in
society, or one's right to express their sexuality in any of those categories.
Just
as unconditional Love cannot be based on fear, neither can omnisexuality.
There can be no sense of control about it, no conditions. It is a state
that is outside judgement and moral righteousness. Being outside the
separation of physicality and spirituality, it may not even need physical
expression.
But
there is no limit to our ability to sustain a state of bliss; it is
only our self-created illusion that tells us otherwise. Freeing ourselves
from the pain and stricture of morality (and its partners-in-crime)
is the first step towards finding that state.
