Sexuality and spirituality

May 16, 2008

The title of this Christian Century series, After the Revolution: The Church and Sexual Ethics, suggests two things: that there has been a sexual revolution, and that the revolution is over. Though in some ways both claims are true, in other ways the revolution has just begun. Clearly the past quarter-century has witnessed significant changes in the cultural and religious understandings of sex roles, sex outside marriage, homosexuality, single-parent families, the explicit portrayal and discussion of sexual matters and so on.

In the matter of Sexuality and spirituality, it is interesting to watch sexual creatures discuss a completely nonsexual topic and somehow devolve it down to sex. It doesn’t matter if people are discussing theoretical physics, or football, or theology—any topic is an occasion for salacious stories and ends up in sex. It doesn’t take a demon to seduce us from contemplating the face of God and to direct our gaze into other people’s underpants, we do it quite well all on our own.

Strictly speaking, absolute is a relative term. It is the philosophic One or cosmic originant, but not the mystic zero or infinitude. An absolute or a cosmic freed one is not That (infinity), for infinity has no attributes: it is neither absolute nor no absolute, conscious nor unconscious, because all attributes and qualities belong to manifested and therefore no infinite beings and things (cf FSO 89-90). In the matter of Sexuality and spirituality, it is interesting to know that the boundless or infinite, in which exist innumerable absolutes, includes the cognizer, the cognized, and the cognition, and is matter and spirit, subject and object; all egos and non-egos are included within it.

Unfortunately, we can have sex but tragically miss its spiritual intimacy. In trying to satisfy a deeper desire of the heart, we may experiment with sex outside of its deeper relational context. Or, both inside and outside of marriage, we may use sex as a physical release with little genuine regard for the other person. In both cases, one person – most often the woman – is hurt in the experience.

In the matter of Sexuality and spirituality, it is interesting to learn that the love is the single most important aspect in God’s entire creation. Love needs to flow in many ways among all mankind and among mankind and all creation, among humans and between humans and non-humans alike. For all different situations God has created very special ways of loving communications.

The one very special way of exchanging love between two humans of opposite gender is sexuality. Sexuality and spirituality are linked. Sexuality – even when practiced in the physical body – always includes astral love and spiritual love as well. There is no true direct flow of love possible when suppressing or rejecting direct physical love. if you want to prove true love it always includes sexuality with your partner. That is the way God has created the physiology and anatomy of humans.
