SA-1.3 Lecture 3: The Workings of the Inner Dynamics: Soul and Lust Dynamics

Session 3: The Soul and the Dynamics of Lust

  • The functions of the soul include memory and creativity, which are the foundation for the growth of wisdom and civilization.
  • Souls can help people grow by adjusting misconceptions through learning and experience.
  • Sexual desire is a survival instinct, which includes satisfying needs and protecting life.
    • It possesses two abilities: sensitivity (to sense a crisis and seek help) and tolerance (to withstand pressure and delay gratification).
  • A healthy personality is one where the spirit governs the soul, the soul controls desires, one follows God's order, and lives a mature life.
