If one intends on owning, embracing, and centering their totality, sex is a part of that. If a school of mysticism has pine cone/ pineal gland references and symbology then one is learning more about the Cosmic level to our synthetic earth based control matrix.
How about this food for thought? The human form is a fractal of our universe, with every cell in our body representing a galaxy and the atoms of that cell representing a star in that galaxy. The convergence Macro and Microcosm.
A body of knowledge given a Title and bastardization go hand in hand.

Greg, the thing about Buddha and sex magic is taken from Tantrayana, it is non-canon and bastardization of Buddha’s teaching. The Buddha never teach about Sex can “lead” to enlightenment. In fact Sex is an antithesis of enlightenment.
In Buddhism, Enlightenment is a state of mind where Greed, Hatred and Delusion and Ego cease to exist. Sex, re-enforce ego and attachment to physical body. You CANNOT SEX yourself into enlightenment. In fact, you’re moving in opposite direction away from enlightenment.
