It’s because today’s society doesn’t really understand the difference between love and sex , that many of us don’t recognize the importance of the role that the soul plays in the male-female relations. Many people lose their power and influence because they’re not good at channeling their sexual energy.
The family, which is the basic building unit of our society, is not the same anymore. It’s falling apart. We witness the birth of unwanted children every day. Nowadays, people seem really confused by their sexual urges. They look at each other as they’re machines and that’s how the well-rounded, meaningful and fulfilling relationships become just a distant concept.
Sexuality is a powerful life force which by itself isn’t good or bad. Like the knife- it depends on how you use it. A surgeon can save a life with that knife, but a murderer can take a life. The difference lies in the consciousness of the person that is using it. Similar to that, sexuality has two sides. Sexual activity can easily turn into mistreatment, amusement and lust. In such circumstances sex becomes an act of selfishness. On the other hand, if it represents exchange of love, it becomes divine. When we engage in sexual activities in order to exchange love, it’s selfless and unconditional.
:: The importance of a deep and meaningful relationship
Our society desperately needs deep and meaningful relationships – filled with much more love than they are today. Nowadays people seem really confused by their sexual urges they look at each other like they’re machines and that’s how the well-rounded, meaningful and fulfilling relationships become just a distant concept. Most people haven’t really experienced true love. In fact, the majority of us have never been able to accept any kind of expression of love – whether it came from a parent, a friend or a spouse – without thinking about their hidden agenda. We haven’t really experienced selfless and unconditional love and we certainly won’t find it through meaningless sex.
Men and women need to become more sophisticated in their relations. It doesn’t really mean that they should refrain from sex. However, instead of indulging into transient pleasures, we should learn the meaning of commitment and try to develop a solid, long-lasting and full of understanding relationship.
:: Beauty comes from the soul
This society pays an excessive amount of energy into beautifying the body in order to attract members of the opposite sex. However, our soul, not the body, is the source of our beauty and attractiveness. God is beautiful, and the more soulful and devoted we are, the more our inner beauty gets to shine. Sometimes we forget that fact and maintain only physical relationships.
But men and women can develop deeper relations. Pass the physical, women usually socialize and fall in love with man of romantic reasons, from the heart, while men usually establish relations that look logical and rational. Its because of those reasons that men and women can’t understand each other. However, there are even deeper levels of bonding where these differences practically disappear under the influence of the dazzling energy of the soul. Then sexuality becomes strong, constructive force.
:: Sex as a divine act
Sex is healthy and natural and it serves a divine purpose. In its highest and purest form, sexual intercourse represents merging of the male and the female in order to serve God, thus creates a way for a new soul to incarnate in the material world. When we truly see sex in this manner, it becomes a spiritual act. On the other hand, if our perception of sexual intercourse is pretty shallow, easily engaging into one-night-stands, we accept the materialistic, selfish point of view on life. Spiritual cosmology sees the man as a part of a bigger community where every individual plays a unique part. A man who just inseminates a woman and then leaves her, doesn’t even show personal responsibility, let alone social responsibility and spiritual understanding. To be socially responsible, people should take care of the welfare of the whole community.
Nowadays, so many of us engage into sexual activity so easily that our sexuality weakened, and so many relationships meet their end because people can’t satisfy each other. Creating semen requires such a big amount of energy. No wonder we are becoming incompetent as a society when men are wasting so much of their priceless treasure. Our memory and ability to fulfill each other are getting weaker. We do everything mechanically, becoming unable to appreciate the deeper and more meaningful level of friendship, love and partnership.
:: The power of sexual energy
Sexual energy is the most powerful energy that we posses. To grow spiritually, we must learn to govern it. Although, society emphasizes sexual activity, underneath it all, what we all really want is to give and receive love, not lust. When we express our sexuality through love, we elevate the level of your consciousness; but when we are under the influence of lust, sexuality can decrease our awareness. We can become divine beings or irrational beasts.
Our inability to understand the spiritual aspects of sexuality and reproduction has become a serious problem. The planet is gradually becoming overcrowded with beings of a lower level simply because people practice sex and don’t take responsibility. Egocentric people who use others for their own pleasure. Can’t be expected to give life to selfless, compassionate, devoted souls. How can such a community create anything holy and pure? Not a single highly developed soul will be drawn to these circumstances.
We all need to pay more attention to our sexual behavior. We can be easily distracted by material benefits, and even sex. So much that we forget the importance of true love. We must learn to love each other more and become more skilled in developing strong and long-lasting relationships. Long-term relationships, in the form of a marriage filled with love, provide an invaluable opportunity to men and women to express their sexuality in a spiritual connection.
