Sexual addiction! and Male-Female energy roles/energies

[Pablísimo]

Of course I do not mind explaining myself brother. By not depleting energy which is used towards, and released in, the act of sex or masturbation, this conserved energy is that which may be used in a conscious manner towards my goal, which is to be an instrument of the One Creator's will, without thought of self.

Thank you for your openness and honesty, Peregrinus, this is valuable information.

I think I see it now. So, if I understand what you are saying correctly, it's not so much that the celibacy changes your fundamental personality, it is rather a mechanism to conserve spiritual energy that would normally be released in sexual activity. You can then consciously use this stored energy to effect healing through the indigo ray, the gateway to intelligent infinity. Please correct me if I am off-base, but if this is so I consider this to be a much better reason for celibacy than I have ever heard before. And rather selfless at that.

To be sure, I AM, like all, a healer, though for me this is one manner in which I desire to be of additional earthly service; thus in order to be able to heal, one must work through either the green ray, which makes healing possible, or work through the indigo ray, which makes all possible, including healing.

It is in my determination to work in the indigo ray, like Don did, for this is where I feel I must go, and is no small feat within the veil.

I confess I don't fully understand the difference between healing in indigo vs healing in green ray, but I believe this information was covered in the LOO and I will do some searching on it to clarify.

Horny monk syndrome... All of this earth is an illusion, thus like anything else, the mind can overcome it. I have overcome great physical pain in my past, and anything else that I have desired to overcome, so this will be no different. This is my choice, and each time temptation is presented to me, it provides a catalyst, thus I can use it to further increase distillation of emotions/experience.

This sounds very similar to some of the reasoning behind fasting, to transcend physicality and realize that you are ultimately a spiritual being in a material illusion. Clearly you have a very strong will and I hope that this aids you in this journey. I would wager that this catalyst will be quite difficult at times. For me, a total lack of sexual release led my mind to dwell more frequently on sex and crowded out my other thoughts. It sounds like you, on the other hand, are going to transmute those baser thoughts for a higher purpose. I salute the purity of your intent and wish you well in this endeavor.

To quote Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you are right". Little did he know HOW true that is.

Great quote! And so very, very true in so many ways.

Just as an aside, it is my understanding that there are a number of drugs that unintentionally, and a few that INTENTIONALLY, reduce sexual desire in men. There is also surgical castration, which achieves the same thing.

Now, I'm not seriously suggesting that you or anyone use these methods, being that I am naturally averse to both surgery and manufactured drugs, but I'm wondering if you think it would be just as effective for the spiritual work you plan to do with celibacy? That is, is that same sexual energy available in a body that hormonally does not crave sex? Or is it more of a transmutation of desire itself that, if the desire were removed, would not allow the sexual energy to build in the first place?

Love to all
