Titel: Quest for Self-Knowledge

Stichwort: Gefühle, Sexualität

Kurzinhalt: Entfaltung der Gefühle auf verschiedenen Stufen; Notwendigkeit, die vielfältigen Spannungen in Einklang zu bringen

Textausschnitt: For example, sexual tensions emerge from the unconscious organic level and rise to the conscious psychic, intellectual, or symbolic level when we wonder and ask: What is the meaning of these feelings that are orienting me toward sexual satisfaction on the psychic level and, at the same time, orienting me toward unknown meanings on the intellectual and/or symbolic levels? Such feelings direct us, but their objective is realized on different levels. To harmonize these multiple tensions, not once but throughout a lifetime of changing desires and fears, sets the human problem.
