The True Transcending of Sex and the Entire Body-Mind (The Basket of Tolerance Booklet Series)

Adi Da created 'The Basket of Tolerance' in order to help all come to a right and full understanding of the collective Great Tradition of human kind and in order to provide a context in which to understand his offering. At the present time this work-in-progress holds over 6000 books and 110 essays. This booklet contains eight essays on a wide range of topics related to sexuality in religious and spiritual practice from the Basket of Tolerance. In these Adi Da writes with the great clarity and wisdom about the following topics: - The need for tolerance in religious and sexual practices - The right use and lawful choice of yogic sexual practice in the beginning stages of religious and spiritual practice - The need for truly motiveless celibacy for the most advanced stages of spiritual practice - The universally necessary foundation struggle with the emotional-sexual character - The nature of true kundalini shakti "I regard the work of Adi Da and his devotees as one of the most penetrating spiritual and social experiments happening on the planet in our era." JEFFREY MISHLOVE, PH.D, host, PBS television series, Thinking Allowed, author, The Roots of Consciousness "Adi Da's Teachings have tremendous significance for humanity. . . . He represents a foundation and a structure for sanity." ROBERT K. HALL, M.D. psychiatrist; author, Out of Nowhere;, co-founder, The Lomi School and The Lomi Clinic "I ve been inspired by Adi Da s writings for many years. He is a contemporary spiritual Hero, offering his transcendental gifts to a culture without a tradition for or even taste for Avatars . . . yet he bears the burdens of sagehood with persistence and love."
