The sexual need is an expression, in its grosser passion-swept form, of the unconscious belief in the reality of the physically sensed world. But in its subtler form it is an expression of belief in the reality of the ego. This becomes evident, however, only when a man transcends the ego in actuality, for then the need wholly falls away because the impulse behind it falls away.
