quotes, Sex and Spiritual Development, John G. Bennett, Anthony G.E. Blake

Sex enables us to touch each other's 'being' and be touched.
As personalities and minds we may meet like passers in the night;
but in or essence, our being, we remain with each other for the rest of our lives.
Love however does not need sex. It comes from a realm beyond space, time and number."


"In the sexual act we can be truly ourselves, and this should make us very careful
in matters of sex."

"..the distinction between the creative and the unitive energies which can be simplified into the old dichotomy of sex and love.
Only love can unite two people.
Sex cannot.
Love is quite independent of sex,
and ..someone can truly love his dog without having sex with it.
This does not make sexual activity an entirely neutral one.
Every creative act is irreversible.

"The action of sexual energy depends on the separation of the sexes for its working.
It is like magnetism, which can only be present when the two poles of the magnet are separated.
The closer they are to one another, the stronger their force of attraction.
But when they touch, the force goes.

It is totally otherwise with the energy of love.
The force of love increases with union,
and it is in and through union that there can be love."

"It is a very important step when we are able to enter into sexual relationships
that do not arise according to the law of accident-
that is through impulses entering our personalities-
but come about because they are appropriate in essence.

now, this is enough....too much talk
