Guest guest Report post Posted October 7, 2007 Dear and all, I have had a moral question in my mind going round, and since reading some of the Nag Hammadi I have this question burning even more strongly. Being that I do not feel sexual desire, should I seek to find it again. Does sexual desire count as one of the deadly sins against spirit and ascension :desire. The buddhists seek to rid themselves of desire, many spiritual practises work against desires, so, should I seek to reaccess these parts of myself or am I fine the way I am? I have this dilemma swirling around in my head. Is sexual desire apart of spirituality? or is it apart of lower ego? What does everyone think? Thanks for your input, appreciate it.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 7, 2007 Dearest Elektra - I do not have much experience with this issue, so I'll share what I am going through right now. I have noticed with my activation the sexual urges had increased tremendously, it was fun for a while but now I am abstinent. I am redirecting the Kundalini energy towards a more constructive end. It's one of the ego issues I am trying to control, with what puts it with " kindness and love " , it is not easy but I am taking it as a lesson that I am learning. My teeth are clenched though. I don't find it immoral, some people consider sex to be a part of spirituality, and as I write this and in my case I am trying to discern if it's an ego issue with me.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 7, 2007 I know that many abstain in spiritual pursuits and many do not. You are not a single, lone person going on a spiritual quest. Shouldn't people who are married and want children be able to go on this spiritual journey as well? I have experienced both an increase in libido and at times a decrease. IMHO, those who wish to pursue that route should not be married or in a romantic relationship unless it has been agreed on by both parties. The most likely scenario would be to choose abstinence with the lone journey. Otherwise, I feel it might not be very effective if you are doing things only half heartedly. Just my thoughts.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 7, 2007 I think it is how you qualify the energy that counts. Plus do you waste it away when it can be a fruitfull expression and part of the life force. Relationships are built on the love ,what's wrong with expressing sexuality in the full love of say Tantra. The Religions have had us all fretting about the ''Sin'' stuff for far too long. But it sounds for you as tho sexual expression is not needed,then why worry about it.In one sense be thankfull,as lots of people want to follow celibacy and cannot. Unless both in a realtionship are celibate how does that work unless both agree? I'm like Sarita and i think in a relationship it must be possible to have a full on sexual union and still be Spiritual. ''K'' can make you hot....or cold, or not change us at all in sexuality. You have to find the answer inside as to what you gonna do with this. Just my viewpoint on the subject.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 7, 2007 Hi, Elektra, I can't imagine that desire is one of the deadly sins or why would God have created us this way? My humble opinion is that you should embrace your sexuality and follow the guidance of your higher self. Sexual desire waxes and wanes, especially as one's K awakens, so go with the flow.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 7, 2007 Dear Elekra - I think par of being human is being a sexual being. During shakipa I ws very sexual, wrote to about it and he posted on that and other fedelings that shakti may bring. Sexual desire is not a sin. Promiscuity might be. Just use common sense, imho.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 7, 2007 I really feel that 'sin' is a misunderstood term. Anything can become a 'focal point'. If your main focal point becomes food (or sex-booze-drugs-football games-'religion games'-- .... then you may miss focus on truly spiritual things! It doesn't mean you are EVIL if you have lost your focus, it just means you have lost your focus---and soon enough you will realize it and re-focus on the lessons on Earth and how to best use them.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 8, 2007 I feel that our sexuality shouldn't be a shameful thing, but that it should be celebrated and enjoyed. This is just my opinion, though. I don't think it's a negative thing, but as they say, all things in moderation. If sex rules you, I can see how it would hinder you spiritually.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 8, 2007 Yes I agree Amanda. In the Kundalini context it will assert control over the libido. It cam hyper stimulate or hypo stimulate and this will be governed by the K and what that individual needs with regard to their infusion. Sometimes it goes both ways. This is temporary and does rebalance, but for a time it is manipulated. The duration is again up to the interaction of individual characteristics and the infusion process. , " Amanda " <mi5anthr0pe wrote: > > I feel that our sexuality shouldn't be a shameful thing, but that it > should be celebrated and enjoyed. > > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
