I read this quote the other day, thought some of you might enjoy.
"At the heart of all creative work lies the sexual energies, as the same force that can create life also allows us to write prose, paint, sculpt, or design within the available elements of our own present environment. The desire of sexuality, ultimately, is to create life, or beauty, and in turn create a connection to the Divine self."

Reminded me of a U.G. Krishnamurti in Mystique of Enlightenment:
quote:
What do you think? What is the good of reading those books, repeating them mechanically? People are repeating, repeating, repeating -- they don't even know the meaning of what they are repeating. I listen to the devotional music every morning -- not that I'm interested in that or anything; because I am here and the radio is there, I tune in. Those devotional songs -- what are they? Do they know the meaning of those things they are singing? It is pornography, I am sorry to say -- really, it is pornography. I have come to the conclusion that the composers of all those stotras (verses) were sex-starved people, so they externalized it and put it on the goddess. They do not leave out even one part of the anatomy of the woman in those stotras. I am not condemning.
It is true that a lot of suffering is brought by sexual frustrations and the desire to prove oneself as worthy.
A related phenomenon happened with the Vikings and many other warrior cultures: They systematically killed female infants, which created a pressure for the formation of a competitive society where mating was a rare opportunity.
Big love!  |
