Spiritual Wisdom:

"Only if and when the whole personality grows and matures harmoniously, will sex become incorporated with love." (PL #44)

"Love is a permanent state in the soul. Love can exist only if the basis for it is prepared through development and purification. Love does not come and go at random." (PL #44)

"Whatever exists within the human psyche shows up in the sexual experience. It is impossible to keep it out of it. The manner of the sexual experience is therefore an infallible indicator of where a person is; where he is liberated and at one with divine law; where evil and destructive; where stuck and stagnant because his destructiveness is hidden and not being dealt with. Hidden facets become magnetized and energized by the sexual current and determine its direction." (PL #207)

"The main element in the erotic force is the adventure, the search for the knowledge of the other soul... Eros strengthens the curiosity to find the other being. As long as there is something new to find in the other soul and as long as you reveal yourself, Eros will live... There is no limit for the soul is endless and eternal; a whole lifetime would not suffice to know it... The soul can never be known utterly." (PL #44)

"The erotic-force is one of the most potent forces in existence, and has tremendous momentum and impact. It is supposed to serve as the bridge between sex and love, yet it rarely does. In a spiritually highly developed person, the erotic force carries the entity from the erotic experience, which itself is of short durations, into the permanent state of love." (PL #44)

"The sex instinct is as natural and God-given as any other universal force and in itself not more sinful than other existing forces." (PL #44)

"The sex force is the creative force on any level of existence. In the highest spheres the same sex-force creates spiritual life, spiritual ideas, spiritual concepts and principles, as it does also on your earth sphere. But on the lower planes the unspiritualized sex-force creates life, the outer shell or vehicle of the entity." (PL #44)

"The pure sex force is utterly selfish. Where sex exists without Eros and without love, it is referred to as 'animalistic.' Pure sex exists in all living creatures. Eros begins with the stage of development where the soul is incarnated as a human being. And pure love is to be found in the higher spiritual realms." (PL #44)

"Three particular forces in the universe are: the love force, as it manifests between the sexes; the erotic-force; and the sex-force. These are three distinctly different principles or forces that manifest on each plane." (PL #44)

"Only if and when the whole personality grows and matures harmoniously, will sex become incorporated with love." (PL #44)
