Transforming sex into love
'In this episode Barry Long talks about a key area of his teaching: the distinction between sex and love. He tells us how the implementation of this knowledge can produce a revolutionary change and transform your most intimate relationship into an ever-deepening expression of love. Knowing the difference between sex and love is profoundly relevant in the spiritual life, and this down-to-earth talk outlines the steps that can ultimately lead to the mystical union of man and woman.
'Sex is really love, only it has a selfish drive in it. Eventually that drive becomes the drive to master yourself and to transform your sexual drive into love.’
This talk was recorded at a public meeting, held at Cabarita Beach, Australia in 2000.
