Lust is an Interpretation of Sensations (188)

Introduction

There is a point here to do with the work on lust. Our sexual centre by itself issues sensations. These sensations are expressions of its own vitality.

Sensations Appear

These sensations can apparently appear for no outside reason, or in other words they can appear when there no outside stimulation is present. They basically appear because the sexual energy is accumulating or building and it is showing us that.

We Can’t Stop it

We can’t stop this force expressing itself, though what we can do is modify the way we interpret it, and of course we can chose what this energy is used for or where or what it is channeled into.

Interpretations

A very common interpretation of this spontaneous manifestation of force is that we need to have sex. We though, have to ask ourselves, is it true that those sensations mean I need to have sex? Obviously not, it is not true, but what is truer from the Gnostic point of view or from the conscious management of our sexual energy point of view is that we have to channel this force or energy, we have to use it for something, and something positive – all the better for us!

Conclusion

There are so many other interpretations that we can give to these sensations and they basically all have to be honestly and scrupulously questions and the true answer sought for every question we ask ourselves. The truth can only be found within ourselves.
