Sophisticated Sexuality
by Dr. Frederick Lenz, RamaInsight
“I believe that sexuality is essentially unimportant in the spiritual process. Yet people seem to make it awfully important. I believe that love is totally important in the spiritual process, in any form. It is the spiritual process.”
Considerations
“So then, on this infinite issue of sexuality, all I can suggest is that you experiment, and if you find that being celibate works, there’s plenty of room in our community for you. If you find that having relationships works, being married works, being gay works, it doesn’t matter a bit. Life is an experiment.”
“All I can tell you, as a spiritual teacher, is that if you are not yourself, you will not attain enlightenment. It is only when you accept yourself as you are that you will actually begin to change. You will evolve.”
