| is why, from the spiritual point of view, marriage is prohibited between souls who are incarnated as | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| out. This of course is the trouble with marriage. Since most people are incapable of pure love | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| love, they are also incapable of attaining ideal marriage. Eros seems in many ways similar to love | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| and sense that something goes out of a marriage that was present at the beginning; that spark | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| yourself in a vicious circle and think that marriage is a hopeless proposition. No, my friends, it | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| wisdom, they would realize that and make of marriage the marvelous journey of adventure it is supposed | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| will have brought eros into true love in marriage. Marriage is intended by God for human beings | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| have brought eros into true love in marriage. Marriage is intended by God for human beings and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| is only one detail. The spiritual idea of marriage is to enable the soul to reveal itself | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| being. The more this happens, the happier the marriage will be, the more firmly and safely it | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| will fulfill its spiritual purpose. In practice, however, marriage hardly ever works that way. You reach a | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| the comfort of inertia and sluggishness. Then the marriage will be disrupted and one or both partners | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |

| on this journey together and have a good marriage? ANSWER: If both are willing to learn love | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| was made, it could still become a successful marriage, but only if both are willing and are | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| are willing and are clearly aware of what marriage is supposed to be. If both lack the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| lack the desire to fulfill the responsibility of marriage in its true sense. If only one is | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |

| effective remedy. One should not, however, leave a marriage lightly. Even though it was a mistake and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| should certainly do one's best, even if the marriage is not the ideal experience that I discussed | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |

| with the other sex and to make the marriage venture meaningful and satisfying. So much help and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| your own problems. It is no wonder that marriage is such a difficult venture and so often | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |

| my friends, try to find your specific inner marriage between the pleasure current and a negative condition | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| who feel rejected by their mother, does this marriage mean that the person cannot experience pleasure without | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| can widen and deepen your own understanding of marriage and use this knowledge to articulate your longing | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| has developed in many areas. Let us consider marriage. Understanding its evolution thus far will open your | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| earthly events is gleaned. In the not-too-distant past, marriage served a number of functions, but least of | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| of dynamic energy levels was rejected and condemned. Marriage was supposed to be a financial and social | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| beyond the stage of split-off sexuality. The typical marriage of former times, which I described earlier, was | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| can take place within the framework of respectable marriage and is socially fully accepted. For the woman | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| relationship of the past and the attitude toward marriage are the direct results of this fear of | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| stages of history. The picture I painted about marriage is not very attractive. Marriage as it has | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| I painted about marriage is not very attractive. Marriage as it has existed for so long was | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| incarnations. The real sinfulness of the attitude toward marriage that prevailed until recently resulted from secondary guilt | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| to see the nature of the attitude toward marriage through many, many centuries. People marrying for love | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| two such individuals had to meet as prospective marriage partners. Their elders would arrange it. This kind | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| liberation movement, and a very different attitude toward marriage are clearly signs of a newly emerging consciousness | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| particularly pernicious aspect of the old attitude toward marriage was that the sexual need as well as | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| of religion, so it is foolish to discard marriage altogether because of previous distortions. Before marriage began | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| discard marriage altogether because of previous distortions. Before marriage began to be doubted as a valid institution | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| immature to form a really meaningful union chose marriage based on superficial attraction, without deep knowledge of | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| all necessary to learn the real significance of marriage. It has to be seen not as a | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| eros and sex -- can create the new-age marriage. Fleeting sexual encounters should not be looked upon | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| complementary way. The two can form the new-age marriage. The new-age marriage will not be formed early | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |

| comes even from this sharing. In the new-age marriage, being on a path of profound self-development and | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| such as I have described: as the new-age marriage. This kind of fusion cannot come about easily | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| is truly a psychic nuclear point. The new-age marriage is a psychic nuclear point. The energy released | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| too, still leave something to be desired. In marriage, for instance, you will recognize to what extent | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| thoughts and feelings. Is it any wonder that marriage does not seem to work very well and | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| and that mates cannot stay together? Yet the marriage relationship is much better off than the relationships | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
