| discuss three particular forces in the universe: the love force as it manifests between the sexes, the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| to serve as the bridge between sex and love, yet it rarely does. In a spiritually highly | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| short duration, into the permanent state of pure love. However, even the strong momentum of the erotic | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| dissolve if the personality does not learn to love, by cultivating all the qualities and requirements necessary | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| all the qualities and requirements necessary for true love. Only when love has been learned does the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| and requirements necessary for true love. Only when love has been learned does the spark of the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| the erotic force remain alive. By itself, without love, the erotic force burns itself out. This of | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| marriage. Since most people are incapable of pure love, they are also incapable of attaining ideal marriage | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| marriage. Eros seems in many ways similar to love. It brings forth impulses a human being would | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| why eros is so very often confused with love. But eros is just as often confused with | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| feeling and beauty that is contained in real love. They would never get the taste of it | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| the taste of it and the yearning for love would remain deeply submerged in their souls. Their | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| deeply submerged in their souls. Their fear of love would remain stronger than their desire. Eros is | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| their desire. Eros is the nearest thing to love the undeveloped spirit can experience. It lifts the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| do otherwise; things that are closely linked with love. It is easy to see why eros is | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| see why eros is so often confused with love. How then is eros different from love? Love | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| with love. How then is eros different from love? Love is a permanent state in the soul | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| love. How then is eros different from love? Love is a permanent state in the soul. Love | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Love is a permanent state in the soul. Love can only exist if the foundation for it | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| for it is prepared through development and purification. Love does not come and go at random; eros | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| experience. Only if the soul is prepared to love and has built the foundation for it will | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| it will eros be the bridge to the love that is manifest between a man and a | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| it lasts. It is not utilized to cultivate love in the soul, so it peters out. Nevertheless | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| of Eros. They are unwilling to learn pure love, and simply use the erotic force for their | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| of the erotic force without building it into love. In either case, the personality may have chosen | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| to be that way. These three forces -- love, eros, and sex -- often appear completely separately | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| such as eros and sex, or eros and love to the extent the soul is capable of | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| to the extent the soul is capable of love, or sex and a semblance of love. Only | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| of love, or sex and a semblance of love. Only in the ideal case do all three | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| is utterly selfish. Sex without eros and without love is referred to as animalistic. Pure sex exists | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| is incarnated as a human being. And pure love is to be found in the higher spiritual | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| In rare cases, eros alone, without sex and love, exists for a limited time. This is usually | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| time. This is usually referred to as platonic love. But sooner or later with the somewhat healthy | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| of long standing, is the coexistence of genuine love with sex, but without eros. Although love cannot | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| genuine love with sex, but without eros. Although love cannot be perfect unless all three forces blend | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| attain the ideal. In the ideal partnership of love between two people all three forces have to | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| all three forces have to be represented. With love you do not seem to have much difficulty | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| did not exist at least the willingness to love. I will not discuss at this point the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| used as a bridge to true partnership in love in the highest sense. How is this done | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| you have used eros as a bridge to love. This, in turn, is always determined by your | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| determined by your will to learn how to love. Only in this way will you maintain the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| you maintain the spark of eros in your love. Only in this way will you continue to | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Then you will have brought eros into true love in marriage. Marriage is intended by God for | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| life-force, but you also transform it into true love. Only in a true partnership of love and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| true love. Only in a true partnership of love and eros can you discover in your partner | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| not even have been aware of. Then your love will remain alive. It will never be static | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| never have to be afraid of losing the love of your beloved; this fear will be justified | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| force, but you also transform it into true love. Only in a true partnership of love and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| true love. Only in a true partnership of love and eros can you discover in your partner | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| not even have been aware of. Then your love will remain alive. It will never be static | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| never have to be afraid of losing the love of your beloved; this fear will have justification | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| then in future lives. Only when you meet love, life, and the other being in such readiness | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Understand that God's purpose in the partnership of love is the complete mutual revelation of one soul | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| who may be unwilling and unprepared for the love experience. It is what you call falling in | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| experience. It is what you call falling in love, or romance. Through eros the personality gets a | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| personality gets a taste of what the ideal love could be. As I said before, many use | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| and greedily, never passing the threshold into true love. True love demands much more of people in | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| never passing the threshold into true love. True love demands much more of people in a spiritual | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| can then use eros as a bridge to love depends on you. It depends on your development | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| being and yourself on the way to true love, of which purification must be an integral part | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| never lifting this force up into the volitional love that demands overcoming and working in order to | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| desire for a partner and live completely for love of humanity. Do you think it is possible | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| an escape. The real reason is fear of love, fear of the life experience, but the fearful | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| respect. Try to find out whether you fear love and disappointment. Isn't it more comfortable to just | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| would be better fulfilled if you learned personal love too? If all these questions were truthfully answered | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| see that he or she is escaping. Personal love and fulfillment is man's and woman's destiny in | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| for so much can be learned in personal love that cannot be attained in any other way | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| the creature, the more sexuality is separated from love, and therefore the more selfish it is. Anything | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| therefore the more selfish it is. Anything without love is sinful, if you want to use this | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| use this word. Nothing that is coupled with love is wrong -- or sinful. There is no | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| and matures harmoniously will sex become integrated with love. Out of ignorance, humanity has long believed that | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| many grownups, sex remains childish and separate from love. And this, in turn, led humanity to believe | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| instinct could not grow and meld with the love force. Consequently, sex in fact often is selfish | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| let their sex drives mature and mingle with love -- and with eros, for that matter. How | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| exist for whom sex is completely separate from love! They not only suffer from bad conscience when | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| handle sexual feelings with the person they really love. This occurs quite often in some measure, although | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| you. QUESTION: If two young people fall in love and marry and they are not well matched | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| marriage? ANSWER: If both are willing to learn love for one another and gain maturity together. Even | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| fit into this picture? ANSWER: Friendship is brotherly love. Such friendship can also exist between man and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| you with the blessings of God and the love and light of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Receive | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| our Savior, Jesus Christ. Receive the strength and love that is given unto each one of you | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| Therefore, authority seems hostile. No matter how much love, warmth and affection a child is given, no | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the authority, the grown-up. It is worse if love is missing, or is not given in the | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| way the child needs it. But even if love is there, the conflict still exists. On the | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the one hand, the child longs for the love of the parent, on the other, it resists | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| to strive for perfection, for the ability to love, and for true goodness, for light and truth | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| for you personally by the very people you love most, because you are dependent on them. Most | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the adult in a somewhat different version. You love your parents, and yet they are your authority | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| cannot help feeling dependent on the one you love, and therefore this person becomes your authority. The | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| The answer to this question is: Examine your love and find the right middle path. One extreme | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| up the self and therefore the inability to love at all; also too strong a fear and | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| learn that though in a healthy and true love one does give oneself up entirely, but one | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |

| person, because you wish to bring happiness and love into your surroundings regardless of your own possible | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| you try to replace hatred, resentment, aggression with love and unselfishness. But before you can do that | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| right channel because it does not merge with love. That it does not is precisely because you | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| drive but to cease to be afraid of love -- to relinquish a fear that is selfish | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| selfish in nature. If you allow yourself to love, your sexual drive will merge with your love | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| love, your sexual drive will merge with your love, and there will no longer be any reason | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| only reality and remedy in the universe -- love. You can combine love and sexual energy only | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| in the universe -- love. You can combine love and sexual energy only by developing your soul | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| too much of a coward to dare to love and forget my own little ego. I admit | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| ANSWER: Emotional maturity is, foremost, the capacity to love. Many people imagine they have it. Of course | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| away your possessions, but you are afraid to love or risk being hurt, and thus you withhold | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| or risk being hurt, and thus you withhold love from others. Therefore, you are emotionally immature, although | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| is a disease. Now, my dearest friends, God's love and forces of truth are given unto you | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| degree. Hence the child is incapable of unselfish love. The mature adult grows into it provided the | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| was able to give a semblance of divine love, the conflict we are discussing here would not | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| the fore. Because of the lack of divine love, the child in its ignorance craves an exclusive | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| the child in its ignorance craves an exclusive love that is neither divine nor humanly possible. The | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| that is neither divine nor humanly possible. The love it wants is selfish; it does not want | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| is selfish; it does not want to share love with others, with brothers or sisters or even | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| both parents. Yet, if the parents do not love each other, the child suffers even more. So | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| On the one hand the child wants the love of each parent exclusively; on the other, it | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| other, it suffers if the parents do not love each other. Since the love-capacity of any parent | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| also loves others, however. In short, the exclusive love the child craves can never be gratified. Furthermore | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| part of the vicious circle. The need for love that cannot be gratified causes hatred and hostility | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| If the child hated someone it did not love at the same time, if it loved in | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| in its own way and did not desire love in return, this conflict could not arise. The | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| particularly one's parents whom one is supposed to love and honor. It is this guilt, living on | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| by forces outside myself. These basic conflicts of love and hatred, of guilt and fear of punishment | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| person's life. Or, if an image connected to love and marital life exists, the same pattern will | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| in its desire currents. The original split between love and hate, which started the vicious circle, causes | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| divine truth is the only way to give love and happiness and to become happy and be | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| I could just receive a great amount of love and respect and admiration from others this would | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| sense. The personality unconsciously feels that if such love does exist at all, then the child was | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| to you, were wrong. Thus the craving for love becomes more and more strained and tense with | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| more problems and conflicts. Only when you desire love in a healthy and mature way which does | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| motives, and only when you are willing to love to the same degree as you desire to | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| loved, thereby taking the risk of life, will love be forthcoming. Remember that the sick personality in | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| long as it continues to desire immature childish love. As long as it cannot risk anything for | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| As long as it cannot risk anything for love, it does not know how to love maturely | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
