It is the pursuit and understanding of love, the creative energy of the Cosmos, that will give you the ecstasy that you seek. You cannot have ecstasy without love.
Sexual Intercourse
You cannot obtain love from sex. You cannot obtain love even from the creation of a child. Love must come first. Any time you have to ask somebody if they want sexual intercourse you should not be doing it. Any time you have to pursue someone to obtain sexual intercourse you should not be doing it. For it is the bonding of souls on a higher level of life that leads to the true act of sexual creation. It should take place without need of thought. Where thought intrudes with its desire for pleasure, when sexual satisfaction becomes the primary goal, then love is not present. It is the ego that seeks pleasure, not the soul, and when one creates with this motivation one is burdening oneself down for lives to come.
Overcoming Limitation
The young people of today face a difficult task. They have to ask themselves if there can be a form of human relationship different to that which the World demonstrates today?? Can one live without sex in the sense that your World uses the word?? Can one live without the constant need for obtaining sexual pleasure?? Have you ever asked yourself those questions?? Have you ever considered the possibility that the act of love does not require the act of sexual completion and, indeed, that when you create through perfect love in imitation of your Creator that no sexual act is necessary at all?? That is how your Creator creates -- through the perfect breath.
You are condemned to create through sexual organs. You are limited in your point of expression by that fact, but recognise that it is only a limitation. You must seek the path beyond it. For most people that moment is many lives and many cycles down the path of evolution, but it is a limitation that you will eventually overcome.
Energy of Creation
So I ask the young people of today to consider these questions. It is possible, if one is in perfect harmony and balance, to live without the sexual act. Recognise that the energy which is used in that act is a creative energy and can be redirected to create in other ways. Within marriage, as I have said, the sexual act was intended solely for the creation of destined children, that is children who chose to come through their parents before they even incarnated into physical matter. So it is therefore a matter of cosmic creation.
When a child is destined there is no need to perform the sexual act every day for a month to ensure conception. The energy of love between the parents will decide the correct time and the correct place without them even being aware of it. For creation, although Humanity does not realise it, is not solely within the province of human will.
Constructive or Destructive?
The energy of creation, then, is yours to use, to use positively or to waste, to use for good or for evil, for construction or for destruction. Even on the physical level you can see the nature of its power. You can witness the jealousies, the hatreds, the divisions, the destruction it can produce. Likewise you can see the constructive side: children born out of perfect harmony and love, carrying forward the evolutionary cycle of the Human Race. Every time that you perform the sexual act consider what forms you are creating. Are you creating selfishly or selflessly, are you creating for your own pleasure or are you creating for the evolution of the Cosmos?? Are you creating an energy which when you die and return to the higher planes of life you will be happy to acknowledge as your child, and take responsibility for, as is your birthright?? Or will you, perhaps, when you meet that energy after your death fail to recognise that is is your creation, and therefore your responsibility, and wish to disown it?? That choice is created every time you perform the sexual act, so consider carefully.
Understand Your Responsibility
Your World today desperately needs people who will use the act of creation with responsibility, who will use that energy wisely, not only to ensure harmony in their own evolutionary pattern but to bring balance to the World as a whole. They must exemplify the correct use of the sexual energy so that the children of the Aquarian Age may be helped into an understanding of the true relationship of male and female, of positive and negative, and of the correct use of the act of creation.
It is a great responsibility that has been placed upon the shoulders of a few evolved souls for if they fail then that misuse of the sexual act will destroy not only them but the World in which they live. We who look from the higher planes of life can see this so clearly. Positive creation means a positive World, a positive Cosmos. Negative creation means a negative World, a cataclysmic destruction. That is the importance of the energy of creation.
