School of Yada

Introduction

The school of Yada, has courses that advance our understanding of sex in theoretical and practical dimensions. Scholars engage in courses where they learn anatomy of the body, energy healing, psychology and other science and technology topics, to complement our knowledge of sex. They complement the theory with Tantric practices. Couples follow the Hieros Gamos journey, where as they go deep in their practices and studies, they document and share their findings (e.g. Magdalena Codes and Christ Consciousness codes).

The school provides a comprehensive sex education curriculum that empowers individuals with essential knowledge and understanding about sexuality, relationships, and consent. The curriculum includes interactive video lectures, hands-on activities, and practical guides, ensuring accessibility for all scholars in the campus and virtually. The school aims to unveil stigmas, foster empathy, and provide vital information to support healthy decision-making and relationships, in the use of sex for transmutation, gnosis and spiritual advancement.

Why Yada: Intimate knowing


Yada in Hebrew has different meaning but all related. Yada mans To Know, encompassing various types of knowledge, including personal knowledge and intimate knowledge. Yada also refers to the act of sexual intercourse, emphasizing the importance of intimacy, connection and the deep, personal knowledge that can be found in a loving relationship.

Yada reflects very well the essence of the school, where we study sex beyond the current studies of sexual education. We emphasize on the ancient teachings (e.g. from Hebrew, Indian, and Incas), where they use sex for healing and ascend in their spirituality path.

The school, has courses on anatomy, energy healing, psychology, that complement Tantric practices. Couples follow the Hieros Gamos journey, where as they go deep in their studies, documented and sharing findings (e.g. Magdalena Codes and Christ Consciousness codes.

Sex in the Academic Field

Sex is a topic that has being a main interest for scholars around academic institutions. If we search in Google Scholar about sex articles, we find more than 4 Million results., compare to Influenza articles, which we find has over 3 Million results. An example of an article published in a prestigious journal is Cahill, L. Why sex matters for neuroscience. Nat Rev Neurosci 7, 477–484 (2006). https://doi.org/10.1038/nrn1909

Spiritual Ancient Wisdom

Sacred books and cultures mention the practice of sex as a key spiritual component of our spiritual path, to understand ourselves and rejoice the energy of creation.

In ancient Hebrew culture, knowledge was not merely intellectual but was deeply relational and experiential. The concept of “knowing” someone or something involved a holistic understanding that included emotional and spiritual dimensions. This is why Yada is also used to describe the intimate relationship between a husband and wife, as well as the covenant relationship between God and ourselves, and God and the people of Israel.

For example, King Salomon in Proverbs 31:23, uses yada to explain that the woman’s husband is to be well known. He writes, “Her husband is known (Yada) in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.” An intimate lovely spiritual relation brings wisdom and respect.

God originally designed sex between Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden involving both physical and emotional nakedness. However, now days sex and nakedness have been tainted. The best sex requires vulnerability, to be naked and unashamed, as Gods desire.

When scholars twin souls comes to the university programs, they accept the mirror of each other and work through their emotions. In the African Zulu tribe when tribesmen encounter one another, they stand facing each other, they look deeply into each other’s eyes and one person says, sikhona (“I am here to be seen”), and then the other person responds, sawubona (“I see you”). When the twin souls are fully embraced by their partner, when they reveal their inner world, we are practicing the teachings of the Zulu tribe. This level of vulnerability and acceptance can help us experience the deepest and most profound intimacy levels (including great sex) as twin souls.

In Sanskrit, sex can be translated as maithuna. Hindu esoteric scriptures define maithuana as the sacred ritual of sexual union between husband and wife. The man represents Shiva, the masculine aspect of the creative divine, and the woman represents Shakti, the feminine aspect and matrix of the power of creation.

Sacred Sex and Gnosis

In some circles and cultures it is well accepted that the path of gnosis and all religions, is the path of sex. Enjoyment of sex with renunciation of desire allows for true love and communion with a higher order of being.

Samael Aun Weor describes sacred sexuality in his groundbreaking book The Perfect Matrimony, as the sexual connection of the man and woman, with love and enjoyment, transmutation, and the complete renunciation of the orgasm. He talks about Scientific chastity (not celibacy) as a beautiful expression of sexuality with the retention and elevation of vital force.

“With sexual transmutation, we regenerate ourselves absolutely. The period of sexual ecstasy is always preceded by the period of sexual enjoyment. Thus, the same energy that produces sexual enjoyment, when transmuted, produces ecstasy.”
