" is life just a 'sexual equation' ?

Asking such a question will presuppose many opinions. It is my intention to argue this question in the affirmative.....based on the second level of growth...puberty....through which we must adapt to a physical stage wherein we humans can...and will....reproduce. In the study of eastern mysticism, belief, faith etc......I also relate to the magnetic containment of memoried experience, therein known as "chakras", which allow humans to repeat all act......such as eating and sleeping. I think , as I have expressed in former posts, the Mystics of earlier times envisioned the growth stages of life in the defining of the 7 main "chakras". To me, at least, the parallels from their visionary practices perfectly coincide with much that subsequent "science" has discovered.
The second "chakra" governs all sexual experience in its most understandable fashion...simply because it relates to reproduction.....or sexuality. Through the idea in anthropocentric based beliefs.... our self-defining characteristics........  we willfully "go forth to be fruitful by multiplying"....even though the supposed Yahweh-based instruction to Abraham is undoubtably leading our species to the brink of annihilation by its far too literal  interpretation and expression.
So...what is that "puberty chakra" REALLY about ? Could it be that we humans were intended to physically recreate only to the extent that our uncontrollable urge to survive becomes monumentally suspect ?
Perhaps, as many other literalist interpretations of mid-eastern belief ( which includes both Koran and the Bible) come into educated scrutiny, so too must the incessant desire, by many, to see themselves as God's "pawn image"  incarnate on earth. Instead.... through overpopulation by our species, we should realize we are all part of a greater spectrum of life that needs....not to be physically perpetuated.....but just simply accepted as a gift of "creationary force"....a temporary existence in an infinite "garden".  Maybe.....we're not supposed to endlessly attempt to perpetuate our species at all.    Maybe......we are merely meant to utilize our procreative ability as a circular learning curve in a "game" of self-recognition. It could be argued that such a concept is the purest form of anthropocentricity.
It seems to me the formation of the many 'mystery schools' some two to five thousand years ago, offered  such insight into this 'game of tail-chasing' we call life. Since that time the re-union of the rift between science and religiosity may merely be the 'long-way around' to arrive at the same conclusion the 'mystery schools' offered. So mankind, by and large,  chose to ignore the earlier offering of true intuitive  knowledge and instead , through ignorance and fear, physically expresses the second chakra trying  to insulate ourselves from death by overpopulation. It is the fear of death which bases the consensus that necessitates society, for through society mankind finds support for all his physical endeavors. Love you say ??? Bullshit !!! 99% of ideas of love are merely formed from a need for community due to the fear of lack....death.
The interesting aspect of all this could be argued in relation to a "re-evolutionary" principle. If random chaos theories held any real weight.....reason would never exist at any level. So if we miss the first overall "offering for universal knowledge".......we will still come to it by a seemingly chaotic "weigh", pardon the "metaphun". Its as if, simply put, those of us too afraid to delve into the image of self...as 'God'.....will relive our own 'creative sorrow' through creating physical likenesses of ourselves again and again......till we've used up the frame work of physical dimension......in this case an ecological imbalance.
Blessings to all.

You have really touched here on many of the reasons I have decided NOT to have children. People are shocked when the conversation goes:

Them: Any kids?
Me: No!
Them: Not yet?
Me: Not ever if I can help it.
Them: [Confused look] Oh.

Life & death are all just the natural cycle of how it all works and I admit, the thought of being gone is a bit scary but only in the way that it is a change and just like all other changes (such as birth for example) it will be a-ok once it happens. I don't need to pop out a bunch of spawn to keep myself alive as a means for living forever, there are plenty of other ways to do that that are less impactful on the planet & its resources.

good comment Jenn...we share many reasons why I never chose children of my own.
