It can sound like Hieros Gamos is something to be attained at the pinnacle of enlightenment.
But what I have discovered is that it happens in every breath, every moment, every day.
Two days ago, I got sciatica pain on my right side, going down into my right leg. As I went deeper into myself, I felt that my masculine side was trying to protect me — protect me from going public with what I believe in, protect me from being criticized, attacked, or misunderstood.
So I stayed with it.
And what happened after that was that the Goddess within me reminded my masculine self that there is nothing to protect.
There is no danger.
There is only Being, dreaming itself, and it is time to let go of the protection and the guard.
At that moment, my masculine surrendered to the Goddess within me.
He surrendered to silence. He surrendered to love. He surrendered to being held in complete safety.
And yes, this love feels immense.
It feels like an extraordinary voltage moving through my body. A living current. A sacred power. A force so deep and vast that the only thing I can do is learn how to receive more of it.
And that has become my practice:
to allow more of this love, as voltage, in my body. To let it move through me. To let it soften what still clings to protection. To let it remind me, again and again, that surrender is not weakness.
It is union.
It is the mystical marriage within.
It is Hieros Gamos, not as some faraway attainment, but as a living reality — here, now, in this breath.
