Summary

This quote suggests that in a materialistic society where acquiring material possessions is highly valued, sex becomes a form of mysticism or higher spiritual experience. It implies that within a materialistic mindset centered on the physical and tangible, sexual experiences hold a sense of mystique and transcendence, becoming a replacement for traditional religious values. The quote appears to emphasize how materialism can diminish the significance of spirituality, leaving sex as the only potential avenue for finding something greater than mere material gain.

Because we have for millenia made moral, aesthetic, religious demands on the world, looked upon it with blind desire, passion or fear, and abandoned ourselves to the bad habits of illogical thinking, this world has gradually become so marvelously variegated, frightful, meaningful, soulful, it has acquired color - but we have been the colorists: it is the human intellect that has made appearances appear and transported its erroneous basic conceptions into things.
