I love it. I tried to send you the following text in an email, but the email address I found on your Biblical Panentheism website bounced back. Here is that email. I have enjoyed and benefited greatly from your site, as it confirms and explains my experience of the Sacred in ways that are not commonly understood. I attended a wedding several years ago that was officiated by a rabbi. The service was held outdoors late in the day.He opened his service by talking about the meaning and value of marriage. Suddenly he stopped talking, and remained silent for an uncomfortably long time. People started to wonder if he was alright. Finally he spoke, and he said, "Isn't it amazing that anything at all exists". I had never heard anyone say that out loud, except within my private thoughts I had said it to myself a million times. The Sacred is everywhere, all the time. One has to work so hard not to notice. It is not subject to doctrine, nor is it bound to a system of belief, and how could it be. Blessings, Bob Hi Jon,

No one is confusing the historical St. John of Damascus with Gautama. It's just that the legendary St. Josaphat was based on on the Buddha, and St. John had affirmed the sainthood of "St. Josaphat."

I knew that God is before everything, but when God came down from heaven to save our sins He came 500 years after Buddha? It makes nonsense at all. I believe that Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) was a Saint but He was not Saint John of Damascus.

Taoists talk about transmuting Jing (physical and sexual energy) Chi (the life force energy) to Yi (spirit). I once had a strong sexual (though non-physical) experience while in a long meditation session, so I definitely agree with what you wrote. The idea of transmutation of the energy is interesting.

My husband, for the most part, did not want to receive - only give. This ultimately became exrtemely unsatisfying to me, so our sex life ceased. Widowhood has led me to a celebate life. I have had a burning curiosity about the what the "true" purpose of sexual ecstacy might be. After 5 years, the meaning is starting to gently dawn on me. For startes, I believe this energy can be used to greatly enhance our connection to ourselves, others, and nature. It also enhances our perceptions and enables us to see how nature, and others communicate with us. I believe transmuted sexual energy is just the beginning of telepathy, and who know what other wonders can be worked with it - especially if numbers of people were doing it together. Also, I believe I had a very fleeting sexual experience with another individual who was hundreds of miles away - telepathically. Neither of us could pursue that for ethical reasons. It never happened again. But I've been curious about that too. Maybe we can have telephathic sex with God, or nature, or our own deeply beloved. I don't know.

I can definitely relate. I suffered from obesity for years... I've lost 45 lbs now, and after a long plateau, am losing again.
