Why Are There Sexual Images In Temples?
Hello Friends,
Here I am Lucia again trying to find a good and virtuous topic to inscribe and share at the same time to learn about.
So the topic for today is "Sunday the Holiest Day".
Perhaps the one religion that stands out for its sexual implication is Hindi. One can't imagine what sex has to do with worship of gods unless you know the origins of it. That's what my research explored when looking back into the temples of Nineveh, Babylon, and other ancient cities in the Assyrian world of the Amorites. Tracing religious roots back to this culture was easy as so much remains of it in modern beliefs.
Sex expressed in stone might not stimulate or excite too many unless they are perverted or have other strange reactions. But in the ancient world they were used to stimulate the god, the Mother God that is. Men thought they could mate with her and increase the fertility of the earth.
These thoughts were expressed in imagery for the purpose of stimulating the god, whose name was Mary (mother's powerful eye), and the sun. As they could never reach it physically they used images to do it remotely. Men also died on crosses to rise up to touch and fertilise her. It is thought that they used the images for foreplay.
An entire wall in one of the ancient sites comprised images of breasts. This allowed many men access at the same time. Japan's Jison-In temple is devoted to breasts that come in all shapes and materials. They are made by the public and donated to it. Some believe the breasts relate to birth and women purchase and donate them for safe deliveries.
The Japanese also use the cowrie shell to represent the female genitalia. Men are known to kiss and caress it and to keep it in their clothing drawers. The name 'cow-r-I' (cor-powerful eye) is traceable to the 'Cow God' of the East and representations of the Mother God. She is depicted as such around the region and the reason why cattle are sacred in India.
But the Hindi sex temples at Khajuharo take the cake for explicit sexual scenes that are obviously designed to show how to obtain more pleasure from sex. Images of such by Jaime Davila are on this site: http://breakawaybackpacker.com/2012/04/the-sex-temples-of-khajuharo-in-photos/
My research unearthed some interesting background to all religions and how the Amor of Assyria spread their beliefs as they built empires and forced people to worship their gods. They built Roma (reverse Amor) and became the Romans. Although their earlier history has been hidden and the roots of the Catholic Church buried behind a wall of deceit and mystery what was uncovered is that it is recycled Islam from Babylon.
With memory of reincarnation and a link to the Spirit of the Universe it led me to discover these things and to blow the whistle on how and why modern religions came about. There is no heaven or hell and yet the primary goal of the institutions behind the scenes is to bluff people into believing in these myths. Sex is used by all of them as a weapon to ensure the audience is dragged in and stays.
