Consciousness, sexuality and love (Main Forum)

by Liz, Tuesday, May 08, 2012, 09:39 (381 days ago) @ Brian Coyne

And yet you continue to speak of sex alone, without any further consideration to the part that Jesus teaches about, on both human and divine love. Are we not more than simply animals copulating? What drives the human forward in an evolutionary sense?

What part does our understanding of the developing brain within childhood play within all of this, and in our lives as adults who continue to come into a consciousness of being alive, responsible for our own actions and inactions, especially when we look at the likes of Oliver O'Grady?

We are both sexual and spiritual beings, spiritual in the sense of being able to 'consciously' move beyond the realm of pure lizard brain, that is, immediately reactive to that which threatens or invites us in our immediate environments. But if we are unaware of how our own brains have shaped our perceptions of the world, we are bound to forever continue recycling our own early traumas, without any knowledge of doing so, let alone finding any relief from this.

Liz.
