Dear Friends, May this find you all well and happy. This is your personal issue of Clarity. We have been having problems with our subscriptions and removals. For safety, if you would like to subscribe or be removed, send us an email to webmaster@holisticharmony.com ============================================= You can now view video clips with Robert on Youtube at: http://www.holisticharmony.com/youtube/index.asp or http://www.youtube.com/robertenajemy ============================================= You will find subscription and removal procedures at the end of the email. ============================================= Share this issue with someone who might benefit from it. ============================================= SEX, EROS AND LOVE IN SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION PART 3 ============================================= THE ROLE OF AFFECTION We all want to experience love, to receive and express it. The showing of affection between partners is a very important balancing mechanism in this exchange of love and vital energies. Touching, holding, hugging and kissing balance our energies physically and emotionally. Deep meaningful communication in which we share what is really important to us also serves this function. It is important also to be able to separate when necessary this type of affection from sex. A partner who is feeling less need for sexual contact may avoid affectionate expression out of fear it will lead to undesired sexual contact. Even when we prefer for some reason to avoid sexual intercourse, affection and embracing are always healing and balancing. SEX AND AGE Some of us seek to maintain our sexual activity as far into our later years as possible, often in conflict with failing physical energies. Motives for such an effort might be a belief that in this way we will rejuvenate our health, youth or appearance. We might also be seeking affirmation of our self-worth. Perhaps to some it simply comes naturally, as they still experience this vital energy in this way. It is sad, however, to pressure ourselves in this manner, if in fact we are making an effort and not functioning naturally. These later years are a great opportunity for inner work where we can begin to focus more on our soul-nature and our inner connection with the Divine. This is a phase in our lives when we are at last free to direct our energy toward spiritual activity, meditation, prayer, reading, social service, and peace of mind. Sexual activity does not come into conflict with these goals, unless, of course, we are pushing ourselves and losing physical and mental energy in that direction. OUR OWN DECISION In summary, each individual will have to make his or her own decision concerning this aspect of his or her life. It is not a matter of right or wrong, but a matter of what is effective in bringing us the happiness we seek and what is likely, in the long run, to leave us empty and still seeking it. This decision should be made consciously and with objectivity. We should be sure we are not suppressing an important part of ourselves, but at the same time, that we are not losing energy or creating complex emotional bonds that will drain us on all levels. This is a part of our lives that can raise us to the highest levels of spiritual experience and also to the lowest forms of human expression. Love and responsibility are the frame of reference here. Whatever we do with love is good for us and the world. Whatever we do with responsibility toward ourselves and others does the same. We have discussed the nature of love in detail in the book The Psychology of Happiness. In the next chapter, we offer some concepts and questions that will help us investigate the subject of loving others. http://www.HolisticHarmony.com/ebookscb/index.asp by Robert Elias Najemy ============================================= View video clips of Robert on YouTube. ============================================= You can now view many video clips from Robert's self-knowledge seminar, which has helped many thousands of people.
