Summary/Abstract: Noticing the steep degradation of love in the modern society, Evolamakes an effort to overpass the social, commercial or biological conceptions oflove and to unravel the forgotten ideas about love. Looking at the current modernsituation, few people could imagine love as transcendent, as a force capable of overpassingthe limitations of a human being. As emphasized by Evola, the union between the twolovers, when it is conceived as the unification of the opposite tendencies in a sacredunion, can find the lost path towards the Unity. By detachment and transmutation, theuse of the sexual energy may even lead to supra-natural powers, ecstasies and elevatedconsciousness.
