“Nothing is as dangerous as using a powerful spiritual energy in a destructive, inverted way whether that using is in actual fact or in mind and attitude only. When killing and hating is imbedded in sexuality, sexuality becomes vicious and antagonistic to spirituality. This is why people acted out for millennia the most bestial drives in sexuality, and thus sexuality was in itself believed to be bestial. Only now is it possible for man to take every conceivable evil, face it, and not act upon it. Today there is a conscience in man that makes him quite aware of the fact when he is vicious. This awareness is not always on the surface, for man usually tries to avoid what he knows. But it nevertheless exists within the psyche. Therefore there is a reluctance to give in to the sexual drive for it brings out the denied negativities, the evil, the destructiveness.” (PL #207)
