Last week we talked about covenants as a central piece of Love. We learned that commitment is the fundamental difference between love and lust. We also understood that covenants create the loving relationships that bring to pass creation and salvation. This week, I will touch on the concepts of Sacred and Profane in order to build on last weeks entry.
The word "sacred" comes from the Latin root sacrum, which refers to the gods and their power. Furthermore, it is related to sanctum, which means to be set apart. The English equivalent is "holy", which means whole, uninjured, healthy, and complete. Likewise, in Arabic, the word "Siha" is used for both truth and health. In short, there are a couple of key words that help us gain a complete understanding of the concept of Sacred: health, truth, power of God, and consecrated or set apart.
Though it may be hard to see, all of these concepts are related. Something that is true is anything that creates life, health, joy, and prosperity. The power of God is the ability to create life, health, joy, and prosperity. The power of God must be consecrated because it must be protected. I am going to bring it all together by explaining the concept this way: That which is sacred is that which is protected because it creates life, health, joy, prosperity. Thus, there exists Sacred Things that can create life, health, joy, and prosperity if they are used in Sacred Acts, at a Sacred Time, and in Sacred Places.
That which is profane is vulgar because it does not create life, joy, and prosperity. Sacred things are profaned when they are not used in Sacred Acts, at a Sacred Time, and in Sacred Places. For example, our physical bodies have been endowed with Sacred Parts. Men and women have certain organs that can create life and bring immense satisfaction and joy to our lives- the very power of Deity. However, only sexual intercourse between a man and a women can create life. Thus, our Sacred Parts must be used in the Sacred Act of sexual intercourse between a man and women in order to remain Sacred ( i.e create life, joy, and prosperity). The Sacred Act, however, must also be undertaken at a Sacred Time. Marriage marks the time at which it is appropriate to undertake the act of sexual intercourse. Finally, the Home becomes the Sacred Space in which the Family is reared.
The commitments of our love should lead to Sanctity not profanity.
