Satiric Axiom User ID: 292560 United States 01/09/2008 08:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In Matthew 19:12, Jesus stated: "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." Quoting: Miss Ann ThropeCastration as an act of religious devotion gets the thumbs up from Jesus. Evening Miss Ann,nice work. I shuddered briefly at your castration comment above. Then I remembered Virgo is a practical woman,efficient too. Being a Wild Horse though,I think i could out run you.Lol Regarding your scripture post:particularly the last one, I'm no zealot yet I'll chew on wisdom offerings until i get to the marrow. During my early 20's after a fairly intense breakup i decided to grow introspective,while doing so i realized that i had become celibate as i accrued information & understanding about my own inner world. Once realized,i intended to carry it through to an uncertain future,which led to more study and so on. The wild thing was that the sexual aspect was growing more and more intensely over time.I had begun to discover how to 'shift this 'energy' and redirect it Upwards only to meet other unexpected 'blockages'... Naturally i succumbed to instinct as i realized that we can modify our selves whenever and however the spirit or loins intend. It's good to see you. My suggestion to any prone to experiment or otherwise,seek trusted support and guidance on your journey,as the interior landscape is burned away by the force of eruption, yet offering additional new territory Upon which to build. I've oftened wondered if it's this very 'thing' the priest has succumbed to,other than latent or covert homosexual inclination. Woman of course experience this as well in their own fashion. It can be and often is an unstable 'energy' in that it is explosive.The Egyptians warned of this. "It isn't about what you & I think, it's about what is." |

I find that it's one thing which is getting in the way of my spiritual growth and if I could eliminate that desire, I would be free to do my life's work unburdened. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 290624Ha. You want to make the decission of the priests and monks :-) of many religions. Known. Many of them are returned into next life with a strong focal point to sex ! Why ? Lack in the first life, returns twice in the second life to compensate ! What do do ? a) Have sex in that way You do not focus on Your own desire for orgasm. However if it happens, it happens. And You transfer the energy to Your partner. b) if you have much desire, go to do some activity. Sports. c) Master your thoughts. d) Read some books of Osho. Try to learn (real) Tantra. e) If You have a big desire due to the pictures on the net, install an adult filter on Your PC. It's not wrong to have sex. Remember that. You need all chakras in Your Path ! You can learn how to have good sex. In that sense You do not loose energy. If You master it, it boost spiritual growth. It's a hard task. But try to find harmony and balance. All the Best, VVizz of Ur Watcher |

VVizz User ID: 350180 Belgium 01/09/2008 10:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | sex is evil? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 327491No. 'Evil' is lack of sharing of Energy. In Matthew 19:12, Jesus stated: "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." Quoting: Miss Ann ThropeCastration as an act of religious devotion gets the thumbs up from Jesus. No. Those words are diverted and are not original. Written by monks in THEIR belief and interpretation of the original context. The whole Universe is sex. Planets around Sun, electrons around nucleus.Human interaction etc. It's exchange of Energy. And this Energy can be very strong. In fact it can be used to achieve amazing things as to raise Your Consciousness. The whole point is. It's enormous powerful. That's why, a few religions tried to downsize it. Including appreciating for Women. But the Universe is more close to Women as to men. It bears Life. I would say. You need sex. You need to transfer Energy. But I known, many monks and priests would stamp on the ground. And I repeat, they are not in harmony and balance. the Universe does create and share Energy ! Do You known, in very old times, this was a Rite to raise Your Vibration ? Done by Temples of female and men skilled into the Art to BALANCE the Kundalini, to raise Consciousness ? It's not evil. It's Creative Energy. Divine. But again. It should be used in the RIGHT way. Don't loose it to desire, projections. But look for a good partner and share the Energy. Play an universal dance and share the Energy to each other. Give and receive. It's an Art. A very powerfull one. More. The most natural to raise Vibration. If done RIGHT.

It is so a psychological issue you need to see someone about. My grandfather got remarried when his wife died around age 68. My Mom was laughing about his boasting about his prowess with his new wife a year later. Ask nursing home workers, they will tell you that the old men are plenty fiesty! I am a registered nurse and have had to put Texas catheters on these old dudes at one of my first jobs out of nursing school. FYI Texas catheters are condom like collection device connected to tubing and a bag. [link to health.yahoo.com] Just clicking on this link will take away the sexual desire of any men who dare to click it and see what the future holds for them in the nursing home. I can't wait to read what everyone will say. at 55 I am losing it so I guess age helps!

The OP User ID: 353139 Bolivia 01/10/2008 10:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | sexual energy is something that can be handled in four general ways: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2328371- embrace it with reckless abandon and self indulgence. this choice causes the desire to increase and it then becomes more and more important to you . in this, you become less and less in control of your self, your mind, your emotions, and your life.... 2- enjoy it at times as a release and a time of sharing with another human, while not pushing it past 'normal' parameters. ie. doing anything possible to make it more and more intense...(this leads to mental and emotional imbalances) 3- resist the urges and deny them. (this leads to emotional and mental imbalances) 4- in the early mornings, sit still in an upright cross legged position. breathe in deeply and slowly and let the breath out evenly and slowly while LETTING the energy pass THROUGH YOU... This will take much repetition and practice to be able to 'let it go' probably 30 days of doing this every day for 1 solid hr at the same time each day...but the result will be an empowering that is incomprehensible! You will be one in a hundred million that truly is seeking the path of non attachment to the illusory inducements. In this you will find FREEDOM and a clear mind that you never thought possible. 30 days at least or don't even start...it DOES take diligence. anyone that preaches against the fourth option is a robot, controlled by insanity (uncleanness)...a parasite infested human. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 290624When you meet that someone who just clicks with you, the connection is amazing and almost magical. Thats when Love and Sex collide .... kapow fireworks. If you don't want to feel the urge, just re-channel that energy into something else. Meditation is most effective. It could also be hormonal in which case you just need to listen to your body, don't take stupid risks and try to understand what drives the urge? Usually is a craving for a special someone ... instinctive. For women it usually only starts improving in late twenties by which stage many have given up and accepted frigidity ... hence eventual platonic marriage. However platonic marriage is a common reason for adultery ... especially if its platonic because the two people involved no longer find each other sexually attractive. .... its complex but the worst part of it is if you have a negative feeling about it ... usually the point at which its labelled evil ... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 352873 United Kingdom 01/10/2008 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It turns our mind into a desire machine, a process which you must reverse! Remember a human body is just that, EVERYONE has one, our value reaches much deeper than our bodies. We ARE beautiful beings, so I do not discourage myself from being attracted to the qualities of people, I do not deny their beauty. But for the same reason I respect and love them! |

edgar celadus User ID: 193927 United Kingdom 01/10/2008 01:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The practice seems to be designed for the purpose of being more advantageous for those with a certain body structure/physical attributes. at least in my opinion. and heightened level of awareness which leaves them with no choice alternatively. So another person's experience, especially if it was a negative one with undesirable side effects that could of easily been conquered with certain techniques, is nothing more than subjective to their own biology and reality. This bullshit law that "human nature" must yield under some kind of 'universal balance' just keeps the person blinded from achieving real power. The fact is some people are much more superior and determined than others. Most spiritual people I know are powerless. Their "spiritual life" is not direct and individually dynamic or experiential enough, it is too much a mere thing of books and wordy concepts being ever arranged and re-arranged in their outer physical brain. Caught up in their social self-image, they stupidly think that their beliefs, disbeliefs and anti-beliefs are what count for others instead of their possible experiences, powers and self-realizations. How much you can influence others is more important to them than the truth of what they need to become beyond all that shallow crap and its endless considerings, maneuvers and efforts to attract attention. People are anti-magical, anti-Power. Their judgments and considerations are unhealthy, unwholesome, false, manipulative and wrong. To hunt the things and forces of Power, to recognize them and personally optimize them, thus requires an investment in personal development outside the ways of the community and society of undeveloped, boring and useless people who think only of money, sex and possible popularity or power-over-others. This means you will have to learn to train yourself to a new way with new habits and new behavior. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 290624Then your sense of spirituality is skewed. Spirituality is not elimination of anything, instead it is coming to terms with Self and learning how to master ones desires. If your desire for sex is your stumbling block, then you need to learn how to be master of it, not be its slave. Removing sexual desire is "cheating", you must learn how to live with it and how to accept it and overcome any of the hazards that that brings with it. Our burdens are what make us great. Not falling too them or being crushed by them, but carrying them with dignity and inner strength and learning whatever lessons that carrying that burden brings. What you seek to do is off load your burden, to run from it, to hide from it. Although being castrated would (for a male) remove that impulse from you, it would not build you spiritually. If anything it would detract from your spiritual growth, stymie it, cause you to lose important lessons that your spiritual growth needs. I am a firm believer that God (The Creator, the divine, what ever you call it) does not place upon any individual a burden they do not require for spiritual growth. God (the creator, the divine, etc) has a habit of teaching us through our burdens. A person who prays for patience tends to find that they are presented with situations which will cause them to learn patience. Your search for the elimination of sexual desires will ultimately lead you down the road of sexual temptations, you will be tested at every turn until you learn how to be the master of your passions, not the slave.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 357209 Netherlands 01/17/2008 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One might want to check out this site:www.actualfreedom.com.au A quote from one of it's authors: "The instinctual sex-drive is part and parcel of the survival instincts and can be eliminated. It only took about one year to get rid of my blind and relentless sex-drive. I first investigated the morals and ethics, the atavistic taboos and fears, the escapist fantasies and the crippling rules of sexual behaviour to free the sexual play from its smothering conditioning. Having removed the outer layer of social restrictions it was very easy to experience and explore the hormonal surges of the instinctual reproductive instinct and bring it to the light of awareness. At first, it was quite bewildering and disconcerting when the sex-drive, an integral part of my identity faded away to disappear entirely. What is left now is innocent sensual play whenever the opportunity arises, a physical-only sensational delight that leaves any wild fantasy for dead. Gone are the days when I was plagued by worry, fear, guilt, shame, expectation, complaint, dissatisfaction or the undignifying need for sex. I never think of sex during the day or the night, I never fantasize and I never miss it, I no longer look at men as desirable sexual objects or would-be predators – I simply see fellow human beings regardless of gender. Sex is like going out to have a gourmet meal at the best restaurant in town, and once it’s over, there are other delights to tend to. There is indeed an alternative to ‘messy sex’ but it is not the repression of practicing celibacy." "Speaking personally, I have an active sex-life ... equalled only by gustatory delight. Yet there is no sex-drive whatsoever. There is no instinctual sexual desire operating here in this actual world ... thus the other gender are never viewed as sexual objects. With no aberrant urges to control one walks freely in the world of people, things and events ... a world wherein all people are fellow human beings. It is impossible to stray; to be tempted by an affair or to have a fling simply just does not happen. Without sexual stirrings, both the female and the male body are appreciated for aesthetic reasons alone ... without the natural seduction or abhorrence as felt in the real world." |
