I believe our desires, even our sexual desire is good and right; it’s how we choose to act upon our desire that makes it a blessing or a curse. Satin has taken something beautiful and used it as an instrument of shame. So successful has he been at this that religious people in all different faiths have lost the ability to reconcile sexuality and spirituality. The same could probably be said about food to a lesser degree.
In short, I have come to believe that the passions, desires, and appetites of the flesh are all part of “The Plan of Happiness.” That receiving tabernacles of flesh (with its desires) and a knowledge of good and evil, provides us the opportunity to experience joy, as we allow the spirit to govern its use.
It seems all too easy to step to the left or the right and become fixed in our position or point of view, where balance requires a constant effort and adjustment.
