Love, Sex and the Universe

Love, sex and the universe

In case of ordinary love/sex:

Some start from sex (through arranged marriage) and end up at love (but not all)

Some start from love (love-at-first-sight) and end up at sex (but not all)

In case of the universe:

The first are like scientists who have not reached grandunification (or have at least not reached the almost mystical heights of an Einstein, Shrodinger, Heisenberg, Prigogine…to name only a few).

And the second are like mystics who have just stopped with their experience of Oneness but could not connect it to the universal scheme of things in whatever way.

The universal scheme of things comprises both.

Those who are neither of the two begin extolling the virtues of the one party or the other depending upon their own deficiencies:

those who cannot understand science begin to say that the experience of “I am That” is enough. If it were so why would the “I am That” would enter into the “I am This” in the first instance?

And those who cannot understand mysticism begin to say that there is nothing beyond reason, logic and step by step understanding of what is in front of us. If it were so how would they ever explain sleep, orgasm, love where nothing would remain in front in the final stages or reason would seem to go to infinite depths, more so when they encounter discontinuity or what they call quantum jumps even on the way?

Of course then there are philosophers to mediate between the two. But of those I will wrote at some other time.
