SEXUAL ATTENTION:
(Part 5 of an excerpt from The Art of Stalking Parallel Perception by Lujan Matus. This excerpt includes portions from the chapter titled "Sexual Attention" and is part of a large body of practices from Maya-Toltec Nagualism / Lucid Dreaming as a path to enlightenment. www.parallelperception.com)THE INTEGRAL PERIMETER: [pp.201-204]
To be successful with ones sexual energy a most important principle must be adhered to. The principle can be seen as a boundary and within the centre of this boundary we sit and observe the world. This boundary must be composed of kindness, understanding and a discipline that becomes the perimeter of ones heart. If this perimeter is held in place then the heart is kept within the fortress of that discipline and this is our bastion, which most of us have lost through common activity that is deemed normal. An integral perimeter can be assembled very simply. In the initial stages it may seem difficult but that difficulty is just in dropping old habits that routinely limit the potential for change. So let's get down to the practical application.
Within our household we have husband and wife, or boyfriend and girlfriend [partners]. If you could imagine drawing a circle around you and your partner, know that there are elements that cannot be invited into that circle, for if they do enter they will break the perimeter from within. It is of utmost importance to understand that the topics that follow must be examined extensively within the initial stages of sealing that perimeter. Firstly it would be good if every activity that is enacted within the household between husband and wife [partners] is kept exactly there: between husband and wife. If you were to have spent a relaxing afternoon, read, had an enjoyable activity together, made love and cooked a nourishing meal, this should not be shared with anybody. "Why not?" you may ask.
Would you take the elements of lovemaking, which is the most intimate act, and discuss it outside of the boundaries of the bedroom? I think not. The act within itself is sacred and if this sacredness is shared it is open to scrutiny, and certainly we don't want the most private part of ourselves to be open to scrutiny. So now we close the bedroom door and the act itself stays within its private boundary and locked within that room love is expressed, given and taken freely and openly. By simply closing the door we realize how precious this is because we all want and need this sacred union, which is the sharing of our intertwined hearts that lustfully reach out and touch and respond to the same love that beckons.
Would you speak of this to your neighbour or your friend? I expect not. If you draw attention to that which everybody desires, then the boundary that lies within that room has been broken, for letting another mind enter a place of union invariably brings interference, which must be avoided at all costs. I'm sure that you at more than one time in your life have experienced the ecstasy that goes with physical union and the comfort that comes from that. This comfort brings observational acuity. Our eyes touch the world with the spirit of that union. This is the first boundary that we build around a relationship. When this boundary is kept in place love and caring will emanate.

how does this apply to committed couples that teach about sacred intimacy from their shared experiences?
