Another drawback in the replacement approach lies in the risk of you losing your authenticity through repressing your conditioning, and this will affect you as an individual and as a couple. Unless you transform that "how," through the awareness and consciousness, lying motionless, wide-eyed, and breathing, avoiding all excitement may work for a while, but sooner or later you are likely to find yourself yawning with an urgent need to close your eyes and sleep. The connection between the penis and vagina may even feel good, but the experience will be one lacking in challenge, not one of growing into the sex energy and surrendering to its greater intelligence, of becoming expanded and alive in it. You may start to miss the excitement, and the urge to move back into unconsciousness arises, manifesting as restlessness as you make love, wanting some action, to move, to come, to give it all up and go back to the old ways. This is to be expected. Your unconsciousness is knocking on your back door because you have denied it. You have denied where you are and imposed an idea on your sexual energy, and you are where you think you should be. The unconscious needs conscious expression and not repressive denial. It needs you to dance with it, be in transit with it, gradually transforming it into consciousness. The intention of a couple, the commitment to exploring the mystery of sex, requires a conscious dance between old and new, where encountering the unconscious elements within becomes an adventure. The process is one of repeatedly returning to consciousness, to catch the moment when one has lost consciousness or moved ahead out of the realm of the present, and keep coming back to now. The central cord is the thread of consciousness which weaves its way from awareness to being aware of lapses in awareness, back and forth like a shuttle, and through this the consciousness is strengthened, the present emerges. Simply be aware where you are when you are. As we release the accumulated tensions in sex, freeing it from a constricted path, it evolves as a changeable creative dynamic force. The key is to instill the fire of awareness, keep watching and witnessing, and slowly you will find a balance and harmony grow within.

Ordinarily the energy is going out and down and we have to bring it inward so that it can flow upward. With this inversion of sexual energy, pleasure takes on a new dimension, becoming an ecstatic full body experience, and in the core of the body itself a streaming phenomenon will begin to be felt, starting from the genitals and flowing upward toward the heart and head. At first this can be very subtle, or felt only in certain places as a glowing or tingling orgasmic cellular vibration. This streaming experience grows stronger, becoming a golden highway forging its way upward in the body. Turning inward gets easier with practice, the electro-magnetic ecstasy generated through the polarity of penis and vagina reaches upward. Through the Love Keys you can forcefully push yourself into the present. This means that your attitude is one of forceful intention; you absolutely intend to bring consciousness to your body. It is an intense shift in awareness. This intensity of presence, availability to the moment, openness to yourself and your partner, are elements that contribute to the movement of these core energies. Once relaxation is established in the sexual center, it turns upward, rising with tremendous vitality.

This is the recycling, or recirculating, of the sexual energy, which returns sparkling through the core of the body to its source in the brain. The body transforms itself into an instrument with a musical inner flute able to respond to finer and finer rhythms spiraling upward, the energy taking an ecstatic flight to penetrate the higher centers. This experience intensifies as polarity deepens, with the organs of love generating ecstatic sexual energy, and the sense of sex as a divine experience continues to grow. It is an attunement to an inner phenomenon that is riveting in its intensity, serene in its silence. As a man and a woman expand and rise in love, the inner opposing pole within each body resonates, strengthening the internal rod of magnetism, silence breaks the barrier and a miraculous melting occurs—outer man unites with his inner woman, and outer woman merges with her inner man. This orgasmic fusion of male meeting female is ecstatic love and awakens the mechanism of our inner celebration.

Be true. Reveal your whole heart; be nude. Between two lovers there should not be any secrets, otherwise love is not. Drop all secrecy. It is politics; secrecy is politics. It should not be in love. You should not hide anything. Whatsoever arises in your heart should remain transparent to your beloved, and whatsoever arises in her heart should remain transparent to you. You should become two transparent beings to each other. By and by, you will see that through each other you are growing to a higher unity.

By meeting the woman outside, by really meeting, loving her, committing yourself to her being, dissolving into her, melting into her, you will, by and by, start meeting the woman that is within you; you will start meeting the man that is within you. The outer woman is just a path to the inner woman; and the outer man is also just a path to the inner man. The real orgasm happens inside you when your inner man and woman meet. That is the meaning of the Hindu symbolism
o^ardhanarishwar.
You must have seen Shiva: half man, half woman. Each man is half man, half woman; each woman is half woman, half man. It has to be so, because half of your being comes from your father and half of your being comes from your mother. You are both. An inner orgasm, an inner meeting, an inner union is needed. But to reach to that inner union you will have to find a woman outside who responds to the inner woman, who vibrates your inner being, and your inner woman which is lying fast asleep, awakes. Through the outer woman, you have to meet the inner woman; and the same for the man.
