Does consensual sexual domination cause energy blockages?

[Stranger]

I'd like to reiterate what others have said: the kink is not the distortion, but merely an expression of the underlying distortion. By exploring, accepting, and balancing it, you distort further. The goal is to learn about the self through this distortion, not to get rid of distortion.

I would think that exploring, accepting, and balancing would distort less, not further.

I don't think you can reliably distort less in this experience. Chastity or acceptance are themselves also distortions of the one original thought, at least in this world. I know that seems weird, like we can never get back to unity, but it's just a recognition that we're in third density not to be pure but to be intense.

Jeremy, unless I am misunderstanding your statement, it is perhaps the most surprising distortion of the Law of One that I have seen on these forums.  

Throughout the texts we are repeatedly told that wanderers incarnate here to balance love with wisdom, or wisdom with love, etc.

Together with Love, Acceptance itself is a core part of the STO path, the counterpart to control on the STS path.  Simply, we cannot love what we cannot accept - if we try, we end up resisting, fighting or "fixing" it, which are all antagonistic actions.  But, to quote Q'uo, "[we] are here to love it, not fix it", and therefore we must accept it. Loving it is how we balance it.

One can say that the STO path itself is a distortion - but that's meaningless because so is everything apart from the original Oneness.  If it's a distortion, then it's the one distortion which we need to increase in order to progress spiritually.  This we accomplish by accepting, loving and balancing other distortions within us, the ones that keep us in the sinkhole of indifference by making some of our choices and actions STO but others STS - one step forward, one step back.  (Including, for the purposes of this thread, distortions that lead us to engage in control-based games, sexual or otherwise).

Our goal is a return to unity - the ultimate harmony - and we can only get there by "ironing out" the disharmonies within us - through loving, accepting, and balancing (I prefer healing) them.  

As we work to remove impurities within ourselves, we naturally rise up toward the purer layers of Creation, closer to the absolute purity of Oneness.
