Pendulum Sways

between the feral
and the ethereal
lust and love
playoff

soul watches
with bated breath

but the fact there's a game on
signals it's yet work in progress

Again…Truth concisely penned. On a now defunct net site that asked 4 personal descriptions of tge bliss in meeting God, a fellow noted his happening occurred at ta sexually reached point of organum with a Special woman. Made me nausciated! As you say, lust and God-created Love are 2 polars apart. Takes Discernment, eh? Cudos 4 this imaging account of the battle one must learn 4 soul’s triumph. Hugs!

Some tantric practices employ sexual union as a path but it’s highly inadvisable, in my opinion. Lust relates to the sacral centre, love to the heart. Heart is the centre of our being. As we go along, we cognise the spiritual heart and feel a toroidal force therein.
