SEX IS SKIN DEEP but LOVE cuts through the skin and goes to the EMOTIONS, MIND, and SOUL. While sex is replaceable and love is not, both are a MYSTERY and sometimes the lines of separation are not so clear. Yet, WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE YOU JUST KNOW YOU ARE!

Books and poems have been written, songs have been sung, music has been played, and people have danced: all and more in the name of love. But, what is this love we all want and need and somehow we never totally find?

Sexuality draws us together like a magnet but left totally free, it can dominate our body and unleashed it can turn into LUST taking over our life. CHEMISTRY between men and women is natural and beautiful. How else would have the human species have survived?

When sexuality turns into lust, we are totally focused on getting more and more pleasure. Who provides this is not so relevant but one more new and exciting experience is. We use others and others use us to get more and more pleasure.

When lust overcomes us we are able to separate creation from sexuality. Creating LIFE, is not the aim even if at times this is the result.

The top priority in lust is to satisfy ourselves more and more and it is almost irrelevant who or what it is. We are dictated to just keep going.

As lust takes over us we begin to get a very empty feeling. We are less and less satisfied but keep going anyway.

Some go through a whole lifetime experiencing lust but never love, yet it is love that all men and women truly desire. When men and women fall in love they generally marry and it is no coincidence the institution of MARRIAGE has been around for thousands of years with every society. When two people are in love there is that pressing desire to have children and most couples do give LIFE. The children are the creations of their love.

No matter what our past experience has been, we must be open to love. This is not easy if we are drunk with lust but it can happen if we want to deep within us. If we fall in love with someone it is easier and natural, on the other hand we have to be freed from lust since IT is used to command our senses in an authoritarian way.

We must not give up since many people moved from lust to love throughout many generations. Getting control over our sexuality IS possible! We can do it if we admit that we are a slave to our passions and that we want to be free. If we have faith, somehow GOD gives us the power if we co-operate.

Some saints even had a difficult time with lust. ST. AUGUSTINE, a famous Roman Catholic
