Osho

Tantra is a very revolutionary concept - the oldest and yet the newest. Tantra is one of the oldest traditions and yet untraditional, even antitraditional, because tantra says unless you are whole and one you are missing life altogether. You should not remain in a split state: you must become one. What to do to become one? You can go on thinking but that is not going to help because thinking is the technique to divide. Thinking is analytical. It divides;it splits things. Feeling unites, synthesizes, makes things one. So you can go on thinking, reading, studying, contemplating. It is not going to help unless you fall back to the feeling centre.
Sex can be a very deep fulfillment, and sex can throw you back to your wholeness, to your natural, real being, for many reasons. Those reasons have to be understood. One, sex is a total act. You are thrown off your mind, off balance. That is why there is so much fear of sex. You are identified with the mind, and sex is a no-mind act. You become headless; you do not have any head in the act. THere is no reasoning, no mental process. And if there is any mental process, there is no real, authentic sex act. Then there is no orgasm, no fulfillmenet. Then the sex act itself becomes a local thing, something cerebral, and it has become so.
All over the world, so much hankering, so much lust for sex, is not because the world has become more sexual. It is because you cannot even enjoy sex as a total act. The world was more sexual before. That is why there was no such hankering for sex. This hankering shows that the real is missing that there is only the false. It has become mental. You think about it.
Many people come to me...they say they go on thinking about sex; they enjoy thinking about it, reading, seeing pictures, pornography. THey enjoy this, but when the actual moment for sex comes they suddenly feel they are not interested. They even feel they have become impotent. THey feel vital energy when they are thinking. When they want to move into the actual act, they feel there is no energy, even no desire.
What is happening to them? Even the sex act has become mental. They can only think about it; they cannot do it because doing it will involve their whole being. And whenever there is any involvement of the whole, the head becomes uneasy because there is no more master. You are no longer in control.
Tantra uses the sex act to make you whole, but then you have to move in it very meditatively. Then you have to move in it forgetting all that you have heard about sex, studied about sex, all that the society has told you: the church, your religion, the teachers. Forget everything and get involved in it in your totality. Forget to control! Control is the barrier. Rather be possessed by it; do not control. Move in it as if you have become mad. The \"no-mind\" state looks like madness. Become the body, become the animal, because the animal is whole. And as modern man is, only sex seems to be the easiest possiblity to make you whole becuase sex is the deepest, the biological centre within you. You are born out of it. Your every cell is a sex cell. You whole body is a sex-energy phenomenon.
The first sutrat says, At the start of sexual union keep attentive on the fire in the beginning, and so continuing, avoid the embers in the end. And this makes the whole difference. For you, the sex act is a release. So when you move in it you are in a hurry. You just want a release. Overflowing energy will be released. You will feel at ease. This at-easeness is just a sort of weakness. Ovwerflowing energy creats tensions, excitement. You feel something has to be done. HWen the energy is releases, you feel weak. You may take this weakness as relaxation. Because the excitement is no more, the overflowing energy is negative relaxation. If you can relax just by throwing energy, it is at a very great cost. And this relaxation can only be physical. It canot go deeper and cannot become spiritual.
