| between the sexes, the erotic force, and the sex force. These are three distinctly different principles or | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| is supposed to serve as the bridge between sex and love, yet it rarely does. In a | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| eros is just as often confused with the sex instinct which, like eros, also manifests as a | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| way. These three forces -- love, eros, and sex -- often appear completely separately, while sometimes two | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| while sometimes two mingle, such as eros and sex, or eros and love to the extent the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| extent the soul is capable of love, or sex and a semblance of love. Only in the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| case do all three forces mingle harmoniously. The sex force is the creative force on any level | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| of existence. In the highest spheres, the same sex force creates spiritual life, spiritual ideas, and spiritual | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| On the lower planes, the pure and unspiritualized sex force creates life as it manifests in that | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| destined to live in that sphere. The pure sex force is utterly selfish. Sex without eros and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| sphere. The pure sex force is utterly selfish. Sex without eros and without love is referred to | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| without love is referred to as animalistic. Pure sex exists in all living creatures: animals, plants, and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| realms. This does not mean that eros and sex no longer exist in beings of higher development | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| three forces. In rare cases, eros alone, without sex and love, exists for a limited time. This | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| later with the somewhat healthy person, eros and sex will mingle. The sex force, instead of being | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| healthy person, eros and sex will mingle. The sex force, instead of being suppressed, is taken up | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| standing, is the coexistence of genuine love with sex, but without eros. Although love cannot be perfect | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| and habit, because elusive eros has disappeared. With sex it is very much the same. The sex | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| sex it is very much the same. The sex force is present in most healthy human beings | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Certain people believe that they can cut out sex and eros and the desire for a partner | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| is a common belief that anything pertaining to sex is sinful. The sex instinct arises in the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| that anything pertaining to sex is sinful. The sex instinct arises in the infant. The more immature | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| idea that is in itself sinful -- whether sex or anything else. In the growing child who | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| the growing child who is naturally immature, the sex drive will first manifest selfishly. Only if and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| the whole personality grows and matures harmoniously will sex become integrated with love. Out of ignorance, humanity | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Out of ignorance, humanity has long believed that sex as such is sinful. It was kept hidden | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| you know that. Therefore, even in many grownups, sex remains childish and separate from love. And this | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| led humanity to believe more and more that sex is a sin and that the truly spiritual | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| came into existence. Because of the belief that sex was sinful, the instinct could not grow and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| grow and meld with the love force. Consequently, sex in fact often is selfish and loveless, raw | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| beginning to do so increasingly -- that the sex instinct is as natural and God- given as | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| circle and more human beings would let their sex drives mature and mingle with love -- and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| that matter. How many people exist for whom sex is completely separate from love! They not only | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| not only suffer from bad conscience when the sex urge manifests, but they also find themselves in | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| cannot find God when you respond to your sex urges. This is all wrong; you cannot kill | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |

| I went deeper, I discovered that, in reality, sex is pleasure. So I found that for me | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |
| woman more feminine. The tendencies of the opposite sex are not fought against, nor artificially bolstered up | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| in a way, but in thinking of the sex angle, when people are unmarried and unattached and | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| mean by promiscuity? QUESTION: You speak of the sex instinct as natural and right. But just how | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| is most preoccupied with companions of the same sex intellectually, mentally, emotionally -- and also sexually, as | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| self and of the parent of the same sex. But as growth continues, he or she reaches | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| he or she reaches out to the other sex. Overt perversion is avoided not by the inhibiting | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |

| her parents. Whether or not of the same sex, each parent stands in the foreground at certain | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| receive love and affection. Consequently, the need for sex is denied and superimposed with substitute needs. Feeling | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| need for purely sexual expression. A compulsion for sex may also be a denial of one's need | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| any of the aforementioned respects: fear of love, sex, self-assertion, vocational expression. The fear, I repeat, is | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| partnership, a difficulty in relating to the opposite sex. Let us further suppose that before you started | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| and one's approach and attitude to the opposite sex. Many a different path is taken when a | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| These distorted concepts create fear of the other sex and fear of not fulfilling one's proper role | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| naturally barriers that prevent relating to the opposite sex, which is one of the important aspects of | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| strife. When a barrier exists to the opposite sex, a similar barrier must primarily exist to oneself | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| must primarily exist to oneself regarding one's own sex. When a man fights against his own masculinity | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| protection, one creates a barrier to the opposite sex. This not only separates man from woman, but | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| the procreative urge. When human beings experience the sex force as something wrong, regardless of how unconscious | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| feeling may be, they must fear their own sex, fear themselves as men or women. They must | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| of transcending oneself in union with the other sex. Each sex feels unfairly put upon and resents | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| oneself in union with the other sex. Each sex feels unfairly put upon and resents its own | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| its own supposed disadvantages, competing with the other sex for its advantages. Hence men secretly envy women | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| being considered by the world as the superior sex. But these envies and resentments are superficial in | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| the more complete the union with the opposite sex. Such lack of anxiety, lack of distrust and | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| so it is here. Fear of one's own sex and therefore of the opposite sex leads one | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| one's own sex and therefore of the opposite sex leads one to level off the difference by | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| femininity and assuming the traits of the very sex one fights against. However, embracing yourself as the | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| one fights against. However, embracing yourself as the sex you represent -- and consequently becoming more able | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| consequently becoming more able to embrace the other sex -- makes you more masculine or more feminine | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| fear and resent the role of your own sex, and therefore avoid contact with the opposite sex | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| sex, and therefore avoid contact with the opposite sex. Examine what you believe are the injustices, which | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| it clear that the barrier to the other sex must go. In order to accomplish this, determine | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| women, each fulfilling the destiny of your own sex. The factors discussed in this lecture appear to | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| the barriers which separate you from the opposite sex. As long as these barriers exist, the fear | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| unconscious, the fear of love with the opposite sex, and fear of death. The connection between the | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |

| professed and actual; one's attitude to the opposite sex -- again professed and actual; one's reactions to | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| actually have relationships with others. It occurs when sex and love are separated, or eros and love | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| separated, or eros and love, or eros and sex. In these cases, a semi-conscious resistance to giving | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
