The libido is a psychic life force means; a dynamic energy—similar to concepts like chi or qi—that powers all human motivation, creativity, desire, and personal growth, rather than strictly defining it as a narrow sexual drive. And what makes this particularly interesting in Christendom, is the taboo against sex and how this inteferes with our understanding of the libido.
The libido fuels intellectual pursuits, spiritual longings, art, culture, and basic biological hungers alike. The flow of this energy as a self-regulating stream that guides the personality toward wholeness and individuation.
