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 is still relevant in modern psychology. The author argues that sex has been used as a symbol for spiritual and psychological concepts throughout history, and that understanding these symbols can provide insight into the human psyche. Kuhn draws on a variety of sources, including mythology, religion, and psychology, to illustrate his points. He also discusses the role of sex in modern society and how it can be used to promote personal growth and spiritual development. This book is intended for readers interested in psychology, spirituality, and the history of human sexuality.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.
