Orgasm and Wu Wei 191<br />

whether a couple practicing dual cultivation has transformed their<br />

ego and emotional imbalances will be known internally to each, but<br />

also reflected in the tenderness and harmony that develops in their<br />

daily living.<br />

A good rule to follow in <strong>Taoist</strong> dual cultivation, is to make<br />

love with your chi energy, not your ego. Sexual energy will begin<br />

to cause a degeneration in couples when it is used to feed male<br />

egotism or female emotional domination. This is the danger <strong>of</strong><br />

using sex for spiritual growth when you don't really have your<br />

personal life together. The only protection is to give as much love<br />

and respect to your lover as you humanly can. A woman needs a<br />

certain emotional stability before she can balance higher subtle<br />

energies. Likewise, a man's ego will block him from receiving<br />

higher energies or experiencing the valley <strong>org</strong>asm. If you can selflessly<br />

send your supportive masculine love to a woman, the energy<br />

will empower her to return it to you ten times over. This is the yin/<br />

yang dynamic. It's a single energy that constantly flows wherever<br />

your intention sends it. It then returns to its source, just as you<br />

spiritually are returning to your source.<br />

I have begun to notice the subtle domino effect between sexual<br />

love and my destiny in the world. When I reach the point <strong>of</strong> Wu<br />

Wei, <strong>of</strong> spontaneous non-action during sex, it creates a serenity in<br />

me that s<strong>of</strong>tens the demands <strong>of</strong> my ego in the outside world. Somehow,<br />

the struggle <strong>of</strong> life gets easier, I find myself resolving problems<br />

with less effort.<br />

Life is like one <strong>of</strong> those puzzle-box eggs: when you open it<br />

there is another egg, and inside that another, and so on. Sexual<br />

love is one <strong>of</strong> the eggs halfway to the empty egg at the center <strong>of</strong> the<br />

puzzle. When you make love and transform your selfish ego, raw<br />

vital chi energies and raw sex drive into something more refined<br />

and radiant, this middle egg shines through to the other eggs in the<br />

puzzle, lighting up both the innermost spiritual egg as well as the<br />

worldly outer shell.<br />

The idea <strong>of</strong> Wu Wei and committment to a lover is very confusing.<br />

The practice <strong>of</strong> spontaneous neutrality would seem to encourage<br />

the very opposite <strong>of</strong> long term commitment to another<br />

person. Indeed, there are <strong>Taoist</strong> sex manuals on the market which<br />

encourage readers to love as many people as possible to satisfy our<br />

spontaneous impulses. I feel this is an irresponsible and misleading<br />

oversimplification <strong>of</strong> the esoteric <strong>Taoist</strong> teachings on sex. Dual
