On Sexuality

“Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and  consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition."

-DH Lawrence

I am biased. I love DH Lawerence's work, so it won’t be unusual for me to reference him in this blog. His poetry and books are filled with his philosophical discussions on sexuality which I find compelling. It doesn’t mean I agree with all of his views, but appreciate his exploration. I think this particular quote of his is profound. These veins of sexuality intertwine with existence and in allowing them to take their natural place in our lives, we can become more intuitive and honest individuals.

But, we can suppress sexuality and unintentionally discard the most enigmatic parts of our person. In doing this, it inhibits a more thorough understanding of our nature.

We are connected to the natural world and our sexuality is a powerful quality of our personal world. They are linked. There is a constancy in the universe and you see patterns and themes everywhere. The universe expands and contracts, drys and absorbs, like our minds, our bodies during sex, and the breath in our lungs. These themes resonate with us.

Sexuality informs our lives constantly. We can be more intuitive and self-realized when we approach it and explore what it is and how it relates to us.
