Description
Sexuality, for Colin Wilson, is a means for man to reexperience
his godliness. Wilson's personal development
went from a naive study of science, to nihilistic literature,
and emerged as mystical wonder at the world itself.
His view of sexuality paralleled his intellectual growth,
as the alienated adolescent sought transcendent meaning
in the disturbing pangs of puberty. The Bhagavad Gita
was a major influence on Wilson, introducing sexuality in
the East as a religious and scientific symbol of masculine
and feminine universal principles striving to reunite. He
was then able to resolve the inconsistencies between science,
mysticism, and sexuality. Quantum theory of wave;
particle duality, and the silent rhythms of the DNA code,
are both reflected in the sexual act committed with transcendent
consciousness. The one is simultaneously the
many, in a cosmic dance in which it meets itself.
