Are we afraid of our fertility?
It is not the world that pushes us out of our comfort zone, but our own creativity. Beyond the safe boundary of imitation lies the ecstasy of being a creator.
Where are you truly of service? Where you share your ecstasy. Service is not the drab duty of imitating what others do in the name of seva. Service is sharing the ecstasy of your unique gift. Being You without fear is the real seva. No one else can do it.
Freud wrote that, “The behavior of human beings in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of their other modes of reaction in life.” It's interesting to me that many of the sexual dysfunctions and controversies in our culture arise from fear of pregnancy; while in our spiritual lives, our growth is blocked by fear-based patriarchal institutions that point to a Creator above, but prevent us from realizing the Creator within.
May we form a new community to honor ourselves as divine Creators, celebrating fruitfulness on all levels.
