What does it mean to transcend sex?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To transcend sex is to awaken to the life-energy within it, transforming unconscious compulsion into a natural flow of trust and delight."
According to Osho, to transcend sex is not to suppress or begin some new practice, but to recognize—through alert awareness—the very life-energy that moves as sex. When you bring total consciousness to your actions, relationships, and even breathing, unconscious compulsion dissolves. Then the same energy shifts from tension and misery to trust and delight, and sex loses its grip as identity, becoming just a natural flow.
Pay steady, gentle attention to your life-energy (like you watch your breath) so sex stops running you and becomes just simple, natural energy.
