OM - OMG
The Boulder Daily Camera does a pretty good job of covering some of the classic Planet Boulder events, practices, beliefs, etc. But today's story about Orgasmic Meditation was surely the most out-there so far this year. I cannot even write about it here since this blog is not labeled as having adult content, and OM certainly is adult content. So to get the whole story, you will have to click on over to the article here. I also cannot even think of an appropriate visual for this :-) Maybe.....

In the seventh or eighth grade it was called a "circle jerk," but there was no mutual masturbation.
Oragasmic Meditation my ass. This sounds like an old fashioned lesbian orgy, though a bit more refined by making it ritualistic.
Sick One - the fact that many of the participants are male precludes the completely lesbian claim. Personally, I cannot fathom participating in such "meditation" - and I think you are on the right track to ID this as giving odd-ball behavior a cachet of respectability by calling it Meditation.
Boys - I know that I was kinda asking for it with this post, but remember that this is a G-Rated blog. So far, so good..... :-)
Unless the men participating are androids or eunuchs, I would think they would experience sexual excitememt to the point they would want the favor returned.
I am curiouser and curiouser.
Those OM heathen will surely burn in hell!
As warned, a couple of comments have been trashed. Regarding the question of paying = prostitution, I think that you pay for the 'training' not for the sessions. Seems pretty much like a dodge.
Bruce - I don't know of any biblical proscription against OM - citation??
Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
For some decent advice on how to live, Galatians 5 continues at verse 22-26: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."
BTW, hope Jack, Connie, and Phil are not too disappointed that you deleted their comments. Lol!
Regarding the deleted ones, you and I both know that "they" will not be too disappointed. Also, Hugh and Ava are lucky to still be around since I don't cotton to salacious aliases :-)
So Bruce - a couple of quick comments. First, you chose to quote Paul rather than Jesus regarding judgement. I refer you to Matthew 25 if you want to hear what J has to say; or perhaps you are a follower of Paul.
Second - there is an awful lot of stuff that would apparently send you to the Lake of Fire [not everyone agrees that being excluded from the Kingdom equates with hell]
Third - some of these OM folks might actually be righteous Christians who don't accept your classifications :-)
I guess the righteous Christians who don't agree with me can throw a couple bucks into a beggar's cup after they leave an OM session and they will be okay. Lol! Jesus does say in Matthew 7 that only those who do the will of His father will enter the kingdom of heaven. And, yes, there is a lot of behavior that will keep you separated from God for eternity, unless, of course, one sincerely repents.
I probably should ask my brother, Bruce the Heretic Hunter, to get in on this. I go after the heathens and he deals with the heretics.
So Bruce - what if the OMers 'sincerely repent' each day, not unlike the glutton who repents each day but keeps on overeating?? [remember gluttony is right in there with the rest of unacceptable behaviors]
God questions, DES. First off, I don’t think there is such a thing as sincerely repenting each day. A person can binge on food or booze and say they are sorry after the fact and repeat the drill daily, however, feeling sorry is not the same as repentance. Repentance is forsaking the sinful behavior and not repeating it daily. It does not mean the sin won‘t be repeated, just that it will be infrequent followed by big time remorse. Regarding gluttony, first thought is there should be no morbidly obese preachers. (Hear that, John Hagee?) I lifted this from the internet. “Gluttony seems to be a sin that Christians like to ignore. We are often quick to label smoking and drinking as sins, but for some reason gluttony is accepted or at least tolerated. Many of the arguments used against smoking and drinking, such as health and addiction, apply equally to overeating. Many believers would not even consider having a glass of wine or smoking a cigarette but have no qualms about gorging themselves at the dinner table. This should not be!
Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.” Proverbs 28:7 declares, “He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.” Proverbs 23:2 proclaims, “Put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.”
Physical appetites are an analogy of our ability to control ourselves. If we are unable to control our eating habits, we are probably also unable to control other habits, such as those of the mind (lust, covetousness, anger) and unable to keep our mouths from gossip or strife. We are not to let our appetites control us, but we are to have control over our appetites. (See Deuteronomy 21:20, Proverbs 23:2, 2 Peter 1:5-7, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, and 2 Corinthians 10:5.) The ability to say “no” to anything in excess—self-control—is one of the fruits of the Spirit common to all believers (Galatians 5:22).
God has blessed us by filling the earth with foods that are delicious, nutritious, and pleasurable. We should honor God's creation by enjoying these foods and by eating them in appropriate quantities. God calls us to control our appetites, rather than allowing them to control us."
Should be Good questions, DES.
