Esoteric Philosphy of Love and Marriage Author:Dion Fortune The Esotericist does not use the term 'sex' as ordinary people do. He speaks of 'life-force', a power radiating from the Great First Cause and maintaining in existence all that is. It has a second task, however, in the creation of new forms, but for any form of creation two forces are necessary, one of which shall be actual and one inertly poten... more »tial, in other words--positive and negative; male and female.
Therefore the true occultist does not despise sex, but he or she will never debase it as Black Magic practitioners do when they indulge in prosmiscouous intercourse and sexual perversions. Dion Fortune declares that the benefits of carnal love are not derived from physical reactions, but from currents set up in our etheric doubles (counterparts) of subtle matter upon which our dense physical bodies are built. It is this blending of auras until the two bodies are encased in a single auric shell which constitutes the virtue of sexual intercourse.
Dion Fortune begins by explaining the evolution of man in terms of the seven planes of existence and the interaction between positive and negative upon the non-physical planes. This teaching is essential for complete understanding of the occult significance of sexual congress. The author presents it with admirable lucidity, stating that her book ' is addressed primarily to those who have no occult knowledge of the subject, but are seeking with open minds for information that may help them to solve the problems of life.'
Certainly the reader can derive a wealth of solace, inspiration and understanding from Dion Fortune's perceptive revelations concerning the Karmic and Cosmic ties between souls, how souls find their mates, the phenomenon of 'twin souls', the implications of a 'perfect' marriage, and the esoteric teaching relating to contraception and abortion.« less
