Love and Sexuality ~ Part 1
Sexuality tends to be self-centered. It drives man to seek only his own pleasure, even to the detriment of others. Love, on the other hand, thinks of the other's happiness above all else. It is based on self-denial and sacrifice: the sacrifice of one's time, energy and money, even the sacrifice of one's gratification, for the sake of helping the other, of allowing the other to blossom and develop their full potential. Nothing is more beautiful than love, when you are ready to do without, to give up that you have or what you enjoy. Spirituality begins precisely at the point where love prevails over sexuality, when a human being is willing to wrest something from himself for the sake of another. As long as you are incapable of sacrifice, you will be unable to love.
The Spiritual Teachings of
Master Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
The distinguished philosopher and spiritual Master, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, was born in Bulgaria in 1900. In 1937 he moved to France, where he lived and taught until his death in 1986. One of the most striking aspects of the Master's Teaching is the great variety of ways in which he presented his central theme : humanity's quest for perfection. Whatever the topic under discussion, he invariably dealt with it in terms of how we can grow in spiritual maturity and better conduct our lives. |
