Sexual Intercourse Tells the Story of Dying And Going to Heaven
How can sexual intercourse serve as metaphor for Dying and Going to Heaven ??!!
Let the penis stand for the individual person.
For it's got a head and mouth like a person does.
The erect penis can stand for the upright person, even the righteous. For uprightness and righteousness are fairly synonymous terms.
Semen dwells within the penis (actually the nut-sack),
like the soul lives within the body. So the sperm ejaculating from the penis logically stands for the soul shooting forth from the body at death.
The sperm comes forth from the head of the penis, much like the soul/mind departs from, yes, the brain at death.
Let's presume that the pleasure of male orgasm -- in the context of vaginal intercourse between husband and wife -- is a token of the joy the saved soul feels as it enters into heaven's kingdom.
The penis entering the vagina is like the person as he is being buried in the ground. (See first comment below.)
But"Sheol" can mean much more than the grave/ground.
Rather, it is the spiritual realm of the
dead.
So too, the vagina, instead of merely being like the grave in which the penis is "buried", the vagina symbolizes the next world, ie, the kingdom of heaven.
The sperm, once it is in the vagina, travels into the Fallopian Tubes.
This like the spirit of the dead person finding himself in a "tunnel," who sees the living Light in the distance and
is determined to travel to it.
Finally, the sperm uniting with the ovum to make up the zygote stands for what ??
Any suggestions ??!!

The author encourages honest critique.
We need to overlook a weakness in this extended analogy.
I mean, the sequence is reversed: you die and then are buried.
But in intercourse you enter into the depths and then you "die," ie ejaculate.
So we have to close our eyes to this discrepancy -- if we are to make this comparison work !!!
(No analogy has to be perfect.)

It may be a temptation to conclude that "the sperm uniting with the ovum to make up the zygote" is the soul entering a human infant as a reincarnation.
However reincarnation, I understand, is not part of Judaeo-Christian theology. King David did not clearly believe in reincarnation when he said of a son who died in babyhood, "I will go to him, but he will not return to me." (2 Samuel 12 v 23).
There is an element of death in sexual intercourse in that sperms die if they do not get to enter the womb in time, and that the sperm which does get there is but a survivor of the many ejaculated in emission. It might be said of it, "These are those who have come through the great tribulation" of passage through the vagina.

Thanx for your effort.
About reincarnation, yes it hasn't been part of Christian doctrine.
But with all these people having NDEs, near death experiences, telling us that reincarnation is real, i must confess I have accommodated it into my belief system.
About the great number of sperm, I put that part aside.
I mean since I take the sperm as representing the soul, i focus on the one sperm cell and discount the rest.
As for the sperm joining with the ovum to become the zygote, I guess the uniting would represent the soul uniting with God or with mankind in heaven(the portion that is saved).
In short I am cheating by saying the ovum, being the biggest cell, can stand for God.

Thanx.Yes, i am into analogies.
This isn't the first time I wrote of sex in this way.
But it's been a while.
So i went back to the subject to try again.
Now i should go back and look up the previous pieces of work -- to see if i have done better this time than before.
