Have you ever noticed the effect of the word I used in the subject line? Take careful note of its effect on you. No doubt you’ve noticed the word attracts, that we often stop to look simply because of the idea that sex might be present. From this we see it is the strongest of our passions. Sex drives us; almost all we see in the humanity around us is due to the pursuit of sex.

What existence might mankind have today were it not for the interplay between the sexes? What man would strive for greater achievement were it not for his attraction to woman? Man’s desire to impress and provide for woman creates mighty civilizations from dust. It is woman’s desire to procreate and provide for her children that drive her to manipulate man’s insatiable desire for sex. It is this interplay between the sexes that provides the necessary impetus to sustain civilization.

Many mistake this biological drive for love, but the attraction and desire for the physical is only the basest expression of real Love. This becomes readily apparent when one reviews the attitudes of the divorced towards their former spouses. When one hears the bitter vitriol typically directed towards the former “beloved,” one can only wonder: could this really be considered love? Real Love is constant and thus does not ebb and flow.

Perhaps you have wondered why the morals of Western culture have slid so far into the crapper. It’s difficult to think that a scant one hundred years ago it was considered risqué for a woman to show her ankle; how far we have come since then. The moral arbiters that once led our culture long understood the nature of the sexual relationship that exists between men and women. They understood the result of allowing unbridled passion between the sexes without any structure. They understood the voyeuristic tendencies of men and the exhibitionist tendencies of women. They knew that freely allowing those passions would lead to the pursuit of the basest desires. The unrestrained pursuit of these passions quickly leads to the breakdown of a culture and this fact has now been born out in our own time. Had anyone been paying attention they would have realized it’s scarcely difficult to predict such a breakdown because such moral dissipation has led to the downfall of civilization since ancient Greece. The moral arbiters of Western civilization have been destroyed and replaced by those of an alien culture who, while setting morally debased standards for our race and culture, reserve different moral standards for their own.

Today we see the moral decay of our European-based culture all around us. Hedonism now rules the Western psyche. Today the desires of the flesh are the main motivation that drives the consumerism which now defines Western culture. This is why darkness has descended over the Western world. That is why Middle Eastern countries have labeled America “the Great Satan.” This is why we have turned to the pursuing of the “devil” of our desires instead of toward the spiritual enlightenment that would lead our return to God and religion.

I well remember when Playboy magazine was considered the leading edge of what be termed “mainstream pornography.” This was pornography that, while not completely acceptable, was nonetheless far more out in the open and readily available than those more debased forms that could only be accessed in the seedier parts of major cities. Hugh Hefner – who may be a crypto-Jew – is a clever fellow, for he combined acceptable literature with unacceptable images. This process slowly gave the images acceptability and allowed them to worm their way into our culture’s psyche. I can remember in Playboy’s heyday censors prohibited the word “pregnant” on TV and how Lucy and her husband had to be shown sleeping in separate beds on the show. Today most people think such “prudishness” is laughable without ever stopping to consider what it did for their culture.

The breakdown of the family, single-parent children, STDs, abortion on demand, teen pregnancy, homosexual marriage, miscegenation, the sexualization of girls as young as five – like JonBenet Ramsey – and many other cultural problems seen today are the products of our society’s transition from “square” to “hip.”

The Hindu and the Buddhists speak about the power of the spirit being based on sexuality. The Hindu describe this power as the “sex chakra” and portray the power as a snake that rises up from the base of the spine. They say this chakra forms the ultimate base of our spiritual power. The true purpose of tantric sex is the harnessing of this power. It is said that only by harnessing this power can one advance to a higher spiritual plane. This harnessing is accomplished first by sexual abstinence, so one should not be surprised to find it presented in altered format in various Christian religious sects. When this power is harnessed great cultures and civilizations are built, but when it is allowed free rein, great civilizations fall.

The article below describes the root of dark forces of unrestrained sexuality that have been unleashed on Western culture. The author claims this moral decay was simply a matter of money, but the reality is that this transition could not have occurred without the complicity of the religious, political and legal factions of authority; obviously there is far more at work behind this transition than the pursuit of money. Think of the promotion of sex as an enzyme used to break down the cohesion of the Western cultural body and the picture becomes clearer. Ponder the method the god of the Old Testament might have employed in his destruction of Nimrod’s culture. Consider that Jehovah uses sexual immorality as a reason for destroying various cultures as was the case with Sodom and Gomorrah .

For many years I’ve heard the blame for sleaze put on the public, that the denizens of darkness are only providing what the public demands. Perhaps this is so, but if such weakness exists in the human psyche, should it be allowed any provision? We don’t allow children dangerous devices, even though they often demand them. Many people, although adult in other respects, are still children when it comes to the fires of their passions. Should not the fires of these passions be handled as the matches of our childhood? Why should the matches of these passions be freely provided to those incapable of controlling them? It is no secret that sex and violence are closely related. Witness the fact that the rudest, most violent gestures and words allude to sexual intercourse. Thus those prone to give free rein to their sexual passions are likely to give free rein to their violent passions as well. Civilizations throughout history have understood this concept as have their religions. It is for this very reason the Muslims keep tight control over these passions. The same was once true for Christianity. And how is Islamic control of these passions viewed by Western cultures? Is it not labeled oppressive? Does not the Western media constantly harp on how Muslim women are shackled by restraint, how evil the burqa is that covers the face of the Muslim woman? But who are they to make judgments on other cultures? Is not the burqa essentially the same as the long dress that once covered a Christian woman’s ankles? So what might be expected if Western morality, or lack thereof, is forced upon the Islamic world?

It is unbridled passions that serve to retard and regress the human state to its most violent and debased form. It is the reason for the rapidly expanding violence seen throughout the world. Whenever the forces of restrained passions encounter the forces of unbridled passions there is sure to be conflict. This is the forces of light in conflict with the forces of darkness. That is the purpose of spiritual teaching: the proper restraint and channeling of these passions. Through spiritual concepts we transition our childish passions into adult functions that serve to advance the human spiritual state to its highest level. It’s this level for which we are designed; but it’s those passions formed by emotional desires that present the greatest obstacle to our advancement.

The article below is a summation of a major factor in the destruction of Western culture. A far more extensive view can be found at Luke Ford’s website, mentioned in the article.
