The Spiritual ChicksSM Speak Out!
Who took the "X" out of sex?

In mathematics, "X" is used to express the unknown.  In Concept-Therapy, the course of study at the core of the Spiritual Chicks’ philosophy, we use "X" to describe God or the Creator, because its nature is unknowable.  Because making love just might be the most mysterious and heavenly experience on this plane of existence, it seems fitting that the word "sex" ends in "X".  Sexual union---the physical process where two bodies unite to become one---is the perfect symbol for enlightenment---the spiritual process where the individual soul and the universal spirit merge, and the soul recognizes its true nature as the One Life as a result.   

Unfortunately, at least in the United States, sex has lost its mystical significance and is now not much more than a business, and a lucrative one at that.  Sex books, sex toys, phone sex, cyber sex, sex workers, sexual addiction, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex.  What a show sex has become.  It’s the standard topic of most movies of the week and every daytime soap on the tube.  But why are we so obsessed with something that we’re biologically programmed to do?  Perhaps we’re not as preoccupied with physical sex as we think.  Maybe we just don’t have the vocabulary to describe our deep longing to merge with all that is and explode in orgasmic rapture as a result.   At its core, sex is about penetrating the unknown and being open enough to receive its wisdom.  Luckily, we’re all perfectly wired to make love with the "X"---whether we  have flat abs or we don’t.  Let’s really  get it on and see what happens.
