Sex As Symbol

""Sex As Symbol: The Ancient Light in Modern Psychology"" by Alvin Boyd Kuhn is a book that explores the symbolism of sex in ancient cultures and how it has been interpreted in modern psychology. Kuhn argues that sex has been used as a symbol for spiritual and psychological concepts throughout history, and that understanding these symbols can lead to a deeper understanding of the human psyche. The book covers a range of topics, including the symbolism of male and female genitalia, the role of sex in mythology and religion, and the connection between sex and the human subconscious. Kuhn draws on a variety of sources, including ancient texts, religious traditions, and modern psychological theories, to support his arguments. Overall, ""Sex As Symbol"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of sex in human culture and psychology.The prominence of phallic symbols in high ancient religious systems has never before been understood, much less sanely expounded and vindicated as something transcending gross sensualism. It is not too much to assert that in this work sex is given its truly lofty place and rated at its exalted character for the first time in religious literature. For not only is sex revealed as the truest key-symbol of the supreme significance of human life itself, but it is brilliantly analyzed as to its place and function in the individual human's program of evolution, his sanity, balance, mental health and happiness. If it is possible for one book to lift sex from low and base regard to a veritable pinnacle of purity and nobility in the light of its true character, this book will do it.
