THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN SEXUALITY AND SEX IN RELATION TO
UNIFICATION AND ORGANIC MATING

Psychoanalysis, unconsciously influenced by a division based
on the bias of its own arbitrary alternatives, has assumed
contrasts of behaviour not warrantable from an organismic
conception--Such alternatives are “homosexuality” and
“heterosexuality”--The organic instinct of mating has become
distorted by the image system of “good” (conceding social
consensus) and “bad” (repudiating social consensus)--Both types
are response to social consensus and are ego-sexual--Sexuality
is effort of conjunction of peripheral and visceral spheres
while sex is effortless and non-personal conjugation
of organismic poles comprising male and female--Union
is of personality as realized in man and woman through
identification with life, the one embodying the peripheral,
allocentric component, the other the internal, autocentric
component--Organically, man is not opposite woman but each is
complement of other--Concept of intermediate sex is misnomer
for composite sex--Social demand of oppositeness necessitates
repression in male of female component and in female of male
component--In present stage of society’s development marriage
is mutual adjustment of ego-sexual claims, a pooling of the
private unconscious of each where each withdraws from an
organic place as a societal element--Biological significance
of unity of personality is conception of _principle of
primary identification_--Autocentric types as Buddha, Plato,
Christ, and allocentric personalities of Socrates, Napoleon and
Nietzsche equally manifest this urge of the inherent organism
of man--In organic integrity of personality is societal
instinct that is the composite life of the race.
