09. Transformation of the Physical (2)

Fragment ID: 3540

It is the physical centre – sex is only one of its movements. Naturally, if the sex is active (instead of giving place to Beauty and Ananda) and if the lower movements are active, it forms an obstacle to the establishment of the higher consciousness. But the higher can descend, if there is at all an opening, even before the lower movements have definitely gone – it has then to complete the work of displacing them.
