Love, Lust and the Longing for God

Finally, commitment is of paramount importance. Every action has a consequence. Love, sex, intimacy—these all have the potential for long-term physical, emotional and spiritual consequences. Along with commitment goes perseverance. While it is possible to quickly recognize that you want to get to know someone, the process of actually getting to know that person always takes time.

When we try to short-circuit the process, we often end up projecting our hopes on someone rather than discovering their reality. We fall in love with the person we want them to be rather than the person they really are. The simple fact is that everything worth having is worth working for. Playing an instrument, playing a sport, learning to dance, learning to cook, building a house, building a career, learning to listen, learning to care—all of these goals require time and perseverance.

Spiritual and emotional intimacy develop in stages. We go from strangers to acquaintances, to activities partners, to friends, to close friends, to intimate friends. If they are true, then the time we spend confirming our initial impressions will be a source of great pleasure and fond memories. Physical intimacy also develops in stages, and these stages should follow rather than precede their spiritual counterparts. There is an adrenaline rush that comes from laying ourselves out naked on the table emotionally or physically that has nothing to do with knowing, caring or moving closer, but a great deal to do with our deep longing to be known and accepted.

If we do not establish our emotional safety first, then the vulnerability inherent in exposing this longing will only increase our fear and decrease our true intimacy. If you decide that what you are really interested in is intensity, then you will want to concentrate on those qualities and behaviors that help boost your adrenaline before engaging in sex. Fear, shame, anger and physical exertion are the four easiest ways to do this. You can see a scary movie, engage in risky, dangerous or illegal activity, or choose a partner who is likely to hurt, shame or abuse you.

Fighting gets the juices flowing too. You could also try drugs or alcohol to alter the experience and make it more interesting and intense. Oh, there is just one word of caution if you make this choice…no matter what you do, you will have to do something a little more frightening, violent or shameful the next time in order to achieve the same level of intensity. Like other drugs, your body gets used to adrenaline and requires more each time, which means that it is psychologically addictive. Even relatively safe activities eventually evolve into more risky behaviors when their goal is to increase intensity rather than intimacy.

But boy, will your sex life be exciting…while it lasts. Or, instead of the addictive spiral of intensity, you can choose intimacy. Safe, warm, comforting, satisfying, transformative intimacy. Intellectually, emotionally and spiritually stimulating intimacy. Does it seem odd to you that the qualities and behaviors that lead to intimacy are also those encouraged by every major world religion?

Would it shatter your world-view to consider the possibility that They were trying to help us attain the very best that the world has to offer—even great sex—through the application of spiritual principles? Honesty, self knowledge, maturity, the safety and security that comes from commitment and responsibility, good character, virtues and high morals—every religion has taught these principles. On the other hand, they have all discouraged mind-altering substances, violence and risky or shame-producing behaviors. OK, so religious teachings can help you develop your capacity for intimacy, and therefore help you have great sex.

But lets be honest. That is not the purpose of religion. The purpose of religion is to improve our relationship with God, to help us become the very best people we can be, and to guide society as a whole so that it can continue to advance both materially and spiritually. Sometimes our desire for great sex has to take a back seat to our larger goals. Sometimes sex has to wait until we deepen our connection with God, develop our virtues and meet some of our social obligations. Sex always has to wait until we are materially, emotionally and spiritually capable of making a permanent commitment.

This shows our partner and the world that we are ready to create a safe environment for nurturing intimacy. So, are you mature enough to postpone sex until you are physically, emotionally, materially and spiritually ready for it? Now, while all of the preceding is true, it is also true that nothing in life is black or white.

You will not be damned to hell or addicted to a downward spiral of sexual promiscuity after your first sexual encounter outside of marriage. But there are consequences to our actions. You can get pregnant, catch diseases, and start habits after only one sexual experience. Every time we behave in an unhealthy manner, it makes it harder to respond in a healthier way the next time. What would you lose by doing it right to begin with? Contrary to popular belief, getting to know someone sexually will not increase your chances of making the relationship work. Many couples remain married for a much shorter time than they managed to live together.

While some would suggest that this means that marriage is bad for a relationship, it really means that people do not know how to make the transition from a relationship based on intensity to one based on intimacy. Is it not wiser, then, to begin where you want to end up—with loving, honest, committed, trustworthy, safe intimacy?

It is not enough to simply decide that this booklet is right, and that you will ignore the temptation of intensity while you seek intimacy with the perfect partner. The whole world is literally throwing pictures of intense sex at you virtually every minute of the day. It is both impractical and self-defeating to think that you can swim against the tide through an act of sheer will power. It is easier and more effective to use spiritual insights to re-channel your effort. How do you do that?

Acquiring the emotional maturity to experience healthy intimacy takes time and effort. It will be hard to postpone sexual experimentation unless you can find a way to make the process of becoming emotionally mature exciting, rewarding and satisfying in its own right. In its simplest form, sexual intensity is about physical sensations. Physical sensations are very important. They are the tools by which we prove to ourselves that we are physically alive and unique. Research has demonstrated that after living in a sensory deprivation tank for as little as two or three days, a person becomes disoriented, hallucinates, and actually begins to lose his or her sense of identity.

It is very important, then, that we not associate delaying sexual interaction with any kind of sensory deprivation. I mean, who would want to delay doing something that makes them feel more alive and unique? If that is how you think of the trade-off between intensity and intimacy, then your subconscious mind will rightfully sabotage your best intentions at every opportunity.

So what is the alternative? The alternative is to explore a whole new world of sensations—sensations that are generated during the process of becoming emotionally mature—powerful spiritual sensations that most people are completely out of touch with. Now I am not talking about astral-projecting or anything.

You have been experiencing spiritual sensations every day of your life, but have probably not had the vocabulary to identify them or the training to distinguish them. At the beginning of this article, I talked about the sensations many people mistakenly identify as love, attraction, or excitement, and which lead to intensity rather than intimacy.

The problem is not that we have these sensations. It is that we mislabel them. You see, when you meet a person, your eyes see their body, but your soul perceives their spiritual qualities, or virtues. Taste, smell, color, emotion, these can all be understood as the sensations generated by perceptual organs—physical or spiritual. Just as our physical senses can perceive both light and the absence of light or heat and the absence of heat, our hearts can perceive love and the absence of love, justice and injustice, generosity and selfishness.

Our hearts are then moved by these perceptions to generate the sensations we call emotion. We feel sadness, pain and anger in the absence of virtue, while we feel love, hope and joy when we encounter virtues such as kindness, faith and generosity. Emotional maturity is the ability to both perceive and identify the virtues in our relationships accurately, and to respond appropriately. As we train ourselves to perceive, identify and practice a wide range of virtues, we become capable of experiencing a level of spiritual ecstasy that is deeper, richer, and more permanent than any mere physical pleasure we may have sought.

Well, to put it bluntly, because the world stinks—spiritually that is. Spiritual pleasure is as natural—and should be as common—as physical pleasure. After all, humans are spiritual beings with spiritual senses that are as important for understanding our environment as our eyes and ears. The problem is that, just as physically there is both pain and pleasure, there are spiritual pain and pleasure. In the physical world, we are carefully taught the difference between dolphins and sharks, even though our chances of meeting either is fairly slim.

But spiritually, we are introduced to sharks every day, and are expected to ignore any spiritual sensations that might indicate danger. Indeed, we are often told that these people are exciting, suave, or hard workers, thus associating positive virtues to the spiritual sensation of fear. But when we open our hearts to them, we find cruelty, deceit, and selfishness. Because our hearts have been fooled so many times, we have trained ourselves not to respond too quickly or feel too deeply when they are touched by a passing virtue.

Our fear of being hurt or overwhelmed by unpleasant sensations has caused us to shut down our spiritual sensors almost entirely.

Love, Lust and the Longing for God

We are, spiritually speaking, holding our breath in order to avoid the stench of the moral swamp we are living in. This response is perfectly reasonable, but there is an alternative. What we need is a way to know when it is safe to let our guard down and respond to a virtue.

In other words, we need to know how to identify a virtue with our minds before we open our hearts too wide. This is one of the special gifts that the religions of the world have to offer. When you read with an open heart and an open mind, your heart trains your mind to identify the virtues that move it emotionally.

With practice, your mind can then help your heart identify when it is safe to open up in your personal relationships—which brings us full circle. When you learn to identify virtues, then you can begin to choose friends with whom it is safe to be open. Relationships become more emotionally rewarding because your heart feels free to respond to a wide range of stimuli. You will attract more and more friends because your own behavior will naturally demonstrate the virtues you have come to appreciate in others.

At some point, however, you will probably notice that one of your friends not only has an emotionally stimulating collection of virtues, but also has a number of practical qualities that would make a long-term family-type commitment possible, pleasant and productive. When your mind is clear that this person has demonstrated a wide range of virtues such as responsibility, honesty, commitment, maturity and kindness, then your heart can be assured that it is safe to open wide and enjoy the spiritual sensations of love, joy, profound contentment, and even spiritual ecstasy.

These spiritual sensations are not in conflict with physical sensations, but can, instead, reinforce and prolong their duration. Spiritual love really does improve physical love making. Of course, spiritual sensations also add to our experience of fine art, music, food, sports, and … well, that would be a whole new post. Not everyone cares about being spiritual. The fact that you have clicked on this article suggests that you are one of the ones who do.

People like you and me would like to believe that we are spiritual people — but are we, really? How can we tell? After all, if you believe in the spirit at all, you know that we are all spiritual — that is, we are all spiritual beings operating through physical bodies. When we first become aware of our spiritual nature, it can be an amazing awakening. Suddenly the world is a different place than it was when we saw everything in purely material and mechanical terms. Still, once that initial sense of wonder wore off, we were faced with the fact that there is a difference between knowing that you are a spiritual being, and living a spiritual life.

All of these approaches are related to spirituality, but they lead in very different directions. You will find people in almost every congregation of every religion who have chosen one of these points of focus. Nevertheless, your focus will have a strong influence on the religion you identify with and the people you are attracted to, so think carefully about what is truly meaningful to you. Some form of these practices can be found in almost every religion, and include activities such as meditation, repetitive prayer, fasting, dancing, chanting, speaking in tongues, and even simply singing in a choir.

At the extreme end of this approach, people explore the use of drugs, hypnosis, or sensory deprivation to generate powerful sensations. The more mainstream version can involve candles, incense, or simply the feelings of love and belonging that come from forming close-knit communities. The sensations these practices generate can include feelings of peacefulness, serenity, ecstasy, oneness, harmony and love, to name just a few.

Who can argue with the beauty of these sensations? They are the stuff of poetry and prayer. They feel good in the heart and in the body, and there is nothing wrong with that. Many of these practices, when incorporated as one part of a full spiritual life, are both inspiring and rewarding. But here is the question: Are people who feel peace, joy and detachment when they pray, for example, more spiritual than people who feel restless or agitated while praying? Or is spirituality defined by what we do after we finish praying? Put another way, should positive sensations be considered the goal of a spiritual life, or are they best understood as byproducts of spirituality?

If the focus of your spiritual effort is the generation of positive sensations, then you run the risk of doing things that feel good, even if they are not particularly spiritual. If you pray, for example, because it makes you feel peaceful and loved, will you continue to pray if those feelings go away? Will you feel unspiritual if the good feelings go away? This brings up another problem with focusing on sensations as the sign of being spiritual — the fact that good sensations often do go away. In fact, the stronger the sensation is, the less time you will probably be able to maintain it.

They are a pleasant by-product of a spiritual life, but should not be the thing that motivates our actions. They are not at the heart of spirituality. Once you realize that there is a spiritual reality that is not the same as the physical world, it is only natural to wonder if the material world can be influenced or controlled by spiritual means. There are three ways to use the spirit world to control your material circumstances — the indirect, the direct, and the very direct.

The indirect approach is to ask God for assistance. When we humbly ask God for assistance with the affairs of our lives, we know that whatever happens will be what God knows is best for us. Unfortunately, for some, prayer becomes something more than a humble request. It is one thing to make prayers of petition a tool for your spiritual growth, and another to make prayers for material goods the focus of your spiritual life. God is not an ATM machine or your personal assistant. For that reason and others, some choose a more direct approach to using the spiritual to control their material lives.

When we feel poor, weak and helpless, we often turn to the spiritual realm for assistance through prayer. Some, however, do not just pray for miracles, they demand them. They may call these sources of energy metaphysical , supernatural , paranormal or even The Holy Spirit , but the goal is the same. One version of this approach to spirituality focuses on such gifts of the spirit as speaking in tongues, interpreting dreams, faith healing, charming snakes and prophesying.

While the vast majority of Americans believe that at least one of these spiritual powers exist, most do not make it the focus of their spiritual lives. Those who do, find that it gives them a sense of destiny and control. Foretelling the future or listening to the guidance of a channeled Master makes life seem less chaotic and dangerous.

But the attraction of spiritualism goes beyond that. Do these spiritual powers really exist? Like most Americans, I believe that some do. The more important question, in my mind, is whether they have anything to do with being spiritual. People who pursue these powers would like to believe that if they have special spiritual powers, then they must be especially spiritual. After all, they reason, Jesus was the most spiritual person ever, and he performed miracles. Therefore, if they can perform miracles, they must be spiritual too.

Surely if you can levitate, you share a spiritual brotherhood with the Man who walked on water. Unfortunately, spirituality and tangible earthly power rarely have anything to do with one another. Using your spirit to gain power over your friends, your future, or your finances does not make you more spiritual, it just makes you power-hungry. You see, it is not the amount of power you have, but what you DO with the powers you were given that defines your spirituality. A person who is physically strong can use his or her strength to lift people up or tear people down.

The same is true of spiritual strength. A weight lifter is not inherently better than a weakling, and neither is a miracle worker. If I can read your mind, tell you your future and work miracles, and I use these powers to make myself feel better or more important than you, then I am damaging my own soul in the process. My spiritual power has made me spiritually weak. If a faith healer, for example, is arrogant and rude, while a medical doctor is humble and kind, which of them is the more spiritual?

What determines their spirituality— the method they use to heal, or the spirit in which they heal? Consider this observation from the New Testament:. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

This still leaves a question. Though having spiritual powers does not make you spiritual, is it possible to pursue the development of spiritual powers and remain spiritual? Here is my concern:. Because the pursuit of spiritual power is, at its core, a pursuit of power , not spirituality, it attracts people who like power — and people who like power often like to abuse it. Right now there are thousands of books, workshops, gurus and organizations that offer to share a special power or teach a secret knowledge … for a price.

The first is that it is easy to appear to perform miracles. Between misdirection, hidden technology, planted assistants and the placebo effect, it is easy to make people see what they want to see and even experience what they want to experience. The more you want spiritual powers, the easier it is to demonstrate them to you.

The second secret is that it is easy to offer to teach people how to perform miracles themselves…as long as the path to mastery is long enough and expensive enough that students will be forced to give up before they achieve their goal, or they can be convinced that it is their lack of spiritual worthiness that caused their failure. No, I am not that jaded. There are some powers, such as communication between souls, that I am fairly certain do exist, but I have never seen anyone achieve it by an act of will.

When it happens, it comes as a gift. My thought is that it may be because these powers might only be intended for the use of our souls after we leave our bodies. Trying to practice them now might do more harm than good. It could be like a fetus trying to explore the world outside the womb by poking holes in its placenta.

They will come to us when we need them. If you have a dream that gives you an insight, or serendipitous good fortune comes your way, those are gifts.

Love, Lust and the Longing for God by Justice Saint Rain | Kirkus Reviews

You can benefit from them without trying to control them. For some people, the realization that they have an immortal soul brings with it a concern about what the next life will bring. For them, a spiritual life is a life spent following the rules that will guarantee them salvation. For some, salvation means getting into heaven. For others, it means attaining Nirvana, reaching Cosmic Consciousness, or avoiding rebirth.

This view of spirituality is very concrete, and the path it takes is usually equally specific.

There are things to believe, words to say, rituals and sacraments to observe, mantras to chant, and actions to be avoided. Some aspects of this approach may resemble an attempt to generate positive sensations because it can include some of the same ritual behaviors. But these rituals are not about the sensation, only about the desire to be obedient and win Divine approval. This approach to spirituality is very popular and has a long history.

Therefore, it is a better bet to believe in God. This idea has guided the thinking of so-called religious people for centuries since.

It can be summarized by the billboards you may have seen along the road: I have three concerns with this approach to spirituality. The first is that it turns spiritual life into a process of following lists of rules rather than being moved by the spirit. Put another way, if we got to heaven and found out that God was in Hell serving iced tea to the suffering sinners, would we stay in Heaven where it was pleasant, or go to Hell to be near to God?

If you kind of liked the idea of going to Hell to serve iced tea, then you will identify with the fourth approach to being spiritual. It is not the last, but it is getting close. The fourth approach to spirituality is to follow a path of service. Therefore, to be spiritual, you must serve others. This truth is expressed in many beautiful quotations, starting with this one from the New Testament:.

When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? So if a spiritual person serves others, does that mean that service to others is my definition of what it means to be spiritual? Like positive sensations, power and heaven, I believe that service is a by-product of spirituality, not its essence.

I say this because it is possible to serve without love. One can serve for many reasons, including ego gratification, financial gain, to get to heaven, and even as a distraction from doing necessary personal spiritual work. Service, by itself, is not an expression of spirituality. It is the motive behind the service that matters. As Mother Teresa said: It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving. The two are inextricably linked.

To understand why this is true, you have to understand what the true heart of spirituality is. It is also the love of kindness, compassion, courage, creativity, patience, integrity, forgiveness, and faith. It is an attraction towards justice, humility, beauty, wonder, reverence and a host of other spiritual qualities. These spiritual qualities, also known as virtues or character traits, can also be thought of as the Attributes of God that have been placed within the human soul. Because we are all created in the image of God, loving God and being near to God also involves loving and expressing our own highest nature.

This intertwining of love and expression of Divine qualities in the human soul means that there are many different ways to talk about the condition that I am calling the heart of spirituality. Whatever words resonate for you, I am describing a spirit, a driving motivation and underlying intention that is based on a love of doing what is right, true and beautiful — regardless of whether it feels good, generates prestige or power, or promises any external reward.

This is the heart of spirituality. While it only takes a moment to recognize the fact that we have a spirit, training our spirits to love the good and let go of the rest is a lifelong process. That is the first step, and it is often the hardest. The fact that you have read this far suggests that you have taken this step and are ready for what comes next.

Once you decide that you want to do more than just go through the motions of being spiritual — that you want to develop your natural love for virtues so that you can put them into practice — the next steps become fairly obvious. You see, if virtues were ugly things — a burden to be suffered in silence — then we would really have to work hard to learn how to love them.

It is not painful to practice them. The more you know about virtues, the more you will love them — and in loving them, you will love both yourself and your Creator even more. But everything we can ever know about God is shown to us through His attributes, and every one of His attributes is reflected in our own souls.

If we really understood what it means to love God, we would spend our days searching for His attributes within ourselves so that we could bring them out into the world of humanity. If we love the God of Love, then we must love serving His children. If we love the God of Creation, we must love being creative. If we love the God of Justice, we must love being honest and fair.

When we truly understand what it means to love God, then we will know what it means to love virtues. True spirituality integrates all aspect of the human experience. It is holistic, involving the mind, heart and body working together. The heart exercises its capacity for attraction, and the body follows the guidance of the Will as it puts the virtues into practice in daily activities. Knowledge, attraction and action — mind heart and body — all have to work together and in harmony for true spiritual growth to take place. How do we get to know virtues? How do we learn to recognize them when they are there, and identify which are missing when they are absent?

By using the three tools we were given — mind, heart and body — to explore, experience and practice the virtues that we were created to develop. Our minds can be used to read scripture, study the lives of Saints and Prophets, study philosophy and great literature, and observe the people around us. From these, we learn the names of the virtues that God wants us to develop. We see them expressed by others and develop our own understandings of how they look in practice.

With the help of prayer and meditation, we can make decisions as to how to behave based on this acquired wisdom combined with our own experience. Our spiritual hearts not the physical ones that pump blood, but the ones where the Spirit dwells do two things for us. Just as we naturally lean down to smell the fragrance of a rose, our hearts naturally lean towards the good and want to experience it.

But the heart can do more than just register the presence of virtues. Just as we can tell the difference between the smell of a rose and the smell of a lilac, our hearts can tell the difference between kindness and courage, between love and loyalty. Different virtues generate different feelings, and those feelings are called emotions.

This means we can use our hearts to identify the virtues around us. Our own actions and those of others will generate emotional responses. If we are paying attention, we can find correlations between the feelings we feel and the virtues our minds tell us are present. Neither the heart nor the mind can do this alone. We can tell the difference between the scent of a rose and a lilac because we were taught the difference. We must train our hearts in the same way, by paying attention to the subtleties of our feelings and holding them up to the light of Scripture and the example of people of character.

When we think we understand the virtues around us — both those that are present and those that are absent and in need of expression — then we act. It is in acting that we discover whether our understandings are accurate or not. Every problem is caused by the absence of a virtue. When we know virtues and love virtues, then we can find the right virtue to add to any situation to make it better.

Contemplating virtues will not change the world. Feeling good about virtues will not make you a better person. It is only by practicing virtues — applying them to real life situations — that we live a spiritual life. It is as the New Testament says. We are saved by faith, not by deeds, but faith without deeds is dead.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Faith is an attraction to the invisible Attributes of God. We prove they exist by expressing them in action. This is why faith precedes works, and why love of virtues precedes service. I slept and dreamt that life was joy.

I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy. Loving God is not some abstract, go-into-a-trance-and-become-one-with-the-universe kind of activity. It is loving the purest expressions of virtues that we can imagine, and modeling our behavior after that ideal. We do this, not on a mountain top, not in a retreat center, not in a community of people who all look and think like we do, but in the real world, surrounded by real people. If spirituality is about developing our virtues, then why do we need religion at all? First, through their teachings we learn about the virtues that God wants us to develop—virtues like meekness, peacefulness and compassion.

These are virtues that most societies would otherwise fail to recognize as valuable. Second, and equally important, They make these invisible virtues visible through the example of their lives and actions. In demonstrating virtues, they inspire our love for them, and because of our love for them , we become open to even more virtues that we might otherwise resist developing.

Third, They become the focal points of communities of people who are committed to supporting one another in practicing these same Divine virtues. It is much easier to develop your character when you have the support and encouragement of those around you. Unfortunately, over time, these communities often begin to break into smaller pieces as the original purpose gets forgotten. Some begin to focus on feeling good, some on power, some on following rules in order to get to heaven, a handful on service, and very few on loving and practicing all of their virtues.

Even so, there have always been, and will always be a few people in every religious community that intuitively understand the true nature of spirituality and try to practice it in their lives. These people see past the superficial activities of their groups and focus instead on the meaning behind them. These are probably not the people sitting at the front of the room shaking their fingers, giving directions or being bowed down to.

They are the ones in the back, teaching the children or cleaning the kitchen. Look for them in any gathering. You might start with the person who gave you this booklet. Do they talk about loving God, or are they loving? Sometimes… most times, that is enough. Now all three of these life-lessons are available in a single volume that will be equally useful for individuals trying to understand their life challenges and therapists trying to explain the subtleties of the healing process to their clients.

I will never be finished reading this book as I intend to keep going back to it to gauge my growth progress, encouragement and support. It is full of revelations and answers to emotions felt when you are too close to the situation to discover. This is a book that I will revisit. I love the way you are always so REAL, open and honest. You expose yourself so that all of us are free to see that we all have the same emotions and feel the same things.

I began to understand my feelings and why I do some of the things I do now or have in the past. I think you are incredibly courageous and your insight into human nature extraordinary. Thank you for being such a pure and hollow reed of God's blessings to us. You are an artist, a poet and a healer.
