The S-upreme EX-perience

"S-EX" is also known as the "little death", in almost the same way as "sex" is known as the "little death", and for similar reasons. (Confused much?)

We humans are in the same relationship to the fleshly version of "sex", as we are to the neuronal version of "S-EX" - if that slightly arbitrary distinction can be drawn.

• The fleshly version of "sex" can not usually be fully appreciated until the virgin (in this general physical, tangible context) has reached a certain age where the "sex act" achieves climactic orgasm with a partner of at least similar desire - and almost every human is capable of this due to the explosive use of the most refined fuel in the organism at the time, prepared by the healthy body simply by being alive. All the other lesser versions, shower-room and elsewhere masturbatory sessions, that many such virgins experiment with, never result in a "little death" of anything, just a reasonably pleasurable release that causes a certain degree of enjoyment, enough so they continue experimenting. 
• The neuronal version of "S-EX" can not usually be fully experienced and appreciated until the virgin (in this specific non-physical, non-tangible context) discovers the possibility of redirecting certain finer energies that are part of the primal flow circulating through us all the time, that would normally contribute to ordinary sexual release, to areas of their intangible "world of the mind" they are already privileged to experience to some degree, and now strongly desire more refined pleasures of "bliss and enjoyment" that may transcend even the best "physical sex" they may have ever had before.

But what "dies" in these two highly subjective experiences that can rightfully be termed "the best things about being human", with or without clothes? There will be no attempt here to describe the subjective experiences of either kind of "sex" because that would be silly. However, the notion being pointed to here, has to do with the "sense of self" that does seem to be so tightly integrated into all aspects of simply being alive, that it is like the "white" on rice, or the "sweet" in sugar, though it CAN under certain circumstances "disappear" from the scene. 

• Great bodily sex (physical and usually requiring another human present) tends to allow one to uniquely experience "becoming one with another person", in a moment that can last many, many moments - seemingly "moments without end" (until they inevitably do of course) - without snapping back into one's ordinary desire for a smoke, or some other distraction so as to "come down" into ordinary life. ("Boy, that cigarette never tasted sooooo goooood!") 
• Great mental sex (non-physical and never requiring another human present, even your "ordinary self") tends to allow one to uniquely experience "becoming one with the universe", or more precisely perhaps, "becoming one with one's higher self", or even more precisely, "becoming one with Life Alive", but all these are just words falling so far short of anything useful as to be use-less... except to those few people who already have a certain sense about The S-upreme EX-perience, and their extraordinary DESIRE outstrips all other bodily desires by orders of magnitude.

This "skill" (of dying to oneself) starts as "craft" (of language usage - correct spelling, grammar, syntax, etc., and regularity and consistency of exercise - being able to think and speak with certain precision). It may soon move into "talent" (of concept creating, connecting, weaving, becoming almost automatic and without unnecessary fits and starts). Eventually it may arrive at "ART".

The ART of energy transformation and transmission without thinking about it; merging left & right sides of the brain, merging higher emotional and higher intellectual circuits, revealing a new-found ability to channel the "Big Guy", and sometimes even to the higher "ideal" speculated by some, written as: "Chanting the World".

NONE OF THIS happens mechanically. It requires the same thing anything useful requires - EFFORT of a certain kind and for a long time, without giving up due to simple-mindedness, and opposite-thinking and negative-thinking and making inane excuses for doing nothing. Mankind in general has only evolved to the level at which they have acquired language, and this is where most are still now imprisoned - in their heads, full of thoughts spinning and spiraling out of their control - and where they have long ago lost even the DESIRE to escape.
