"the Shiv Ling, Depicted In Consummate Union With The Yoni ( Vulva ) Of Shakti, Is Representative Of The Most Wonderful And Miraculous Feature Of Life Itself. What Distinguishes Life From Non-life, After All? Above All Else, The Ability To Reproduce Its Own Kind. If We Are To Revere The Concept That Life Itself Is Sacred- Which Even The Christians Claim To Believe- Why Is The Most Characteristic Feature Of Life, The Act Of Progenition, Any Less Sacred? It Is Not Only Sex We Are Talking About Here. It Is The Consummation Of The Vast Anddifferent Energies Of The Male And Female Universal Prerogative, Of Which The Shiv Ling In Union Is A Symbol- Celebrating The Fact That Humankind Has Two Sexes, Each With Its Unique Attributes And Qualities, And When They Come Together, They Produce A Synergy, They Create More Life, They Become More Than The Sum Of Their Individual Parts. Many Ancient Civilisations Recognized The Wonder Of This Concept- Including The Chinese, Who Represent It Somewhat More Abstractly In The Symbol Of Yin And Yang. It Is A Tribute To These Ancient And Wise People That They Were Able To Perceive True Miracles, True Wonderment, In The Very Features Of Life Which Surround Us In Our Everyday Existence. They Did Not Need To Have Some Man Walk Upon Water To See A Miracle, Nor See Crippled People Cured Instantaneously- Or, Worse Yet, Read About It In Some Book And Call Their Blind Adherence To Such Beliefs "faith"."
