draft 30

in the narratives of His time with us, Jesus is portrayed as a person who was deeply affected and moved to action by the pain and suffering of people. in his teachings about love, he always invoked those who love Him to translate their love into actions that relieve the sufferings and pain of others.

one can perhaps surmise that pain (though physical in nature) might have profound spiritual properties that have a direct or indirect effect on our soul.

such a supposition would be aligned with the concept of the human being as one where a physical form (inlcusive of the mind) is integrated with a soul (a spiritual entity).

what precisely are the spiritual dynamics of pain? in other words, what are the ramifications of pain upon the spiritual realm (keeping in mind the concept that the human being is the linkage between the physical realm with the spiritual realm)?

in counterpoint, what precisely are the spiritual ramifications (if any) of pleasure (the enjoyable pleasing of the physical senses)?

what (if any) are the spiritual ramifications of sex?
