09. Transformation of the Physical (2)

Fragment ID: 3538

Sex is strongly connected with the physical centre but also with the lower vital – it is the lower vital that gives it most of its intensities and excitement. It can be disconnected from the lower vital and then it becomes a purely physical movement of the mechanical kind which has no great force except for the mechanical natures. If the physical centre is also freed then the sex-impulse ceases.
