to keep anything out. The manner of the sexual experience is therefore an infallible indicator of where 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY
Hidden facets become magnetized and energized by the sexual current, thereby determining its direction. When this direction 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY
are hindered. The powerful creative energy inherent in sexual expression creates a condition where all character attitudes 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY

a sexualized form, infused and magnetized by the sexual force. If the negativities of the psychic system 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY
of the psychic system are denied consciousness, the sexual experience must be blocked, flat, unsatisfactory, mechanical and 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY
totally paralyzed. If this denial is removed, the sexual inclination may show up character tendencies such as 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY
and repressed, they may show up in a sexual inclination to be hurt, humiliated, or rejected. There 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY

This is the only way to bring stagnant sexual energy back into a flowing state, even if 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY

did at the opposite extreme. For example, today's sexual freedom is a reaction to the shackles of 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE
the old attitude toward marriage was that the sexual need as well as the need for companionship 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE
