Some thoughts after reading the quoted:attofishpi wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 2:07 pm It also means that when I go to bed, even if my partner is not around - knowing that ALL my atoms are under this beings control, I can have love made to me, and orgasm beyond whatever you short sighted theists\atheists experience...that is the fun of God's heaven - it actually appears to be quite proud of its ability to provide wo\man with our sexual senses...especially those that believed - tested - and then came to know.
It did take some time to understand what happened, as the old frames of reference were rendered obsolete.
Sex maintains a youthful and flexible outlook on life. Spontaneous brahmacharya* is intertwined with equanimity* in the sense that the body, as a conduit for the free-flowing energy of prana*, reaches a stage of uncomplication.
Energy centers known as chakras*, divided into main and many, throughout the body, open when stimulated. It is quite common when young and people just forget about it. Remember the feeling that courses through the body when diving into water from a height? The back arches, the stomach tenses, all the muscles tense into a sudden and primal arc of trigonometry-described design to keep one alive and land without a belly flop or plan, or pain for that matter.
You don’t notice the energy surge so much when young and testing the limits, however when older the body better be ready for it, or something might give way to the energy. Maybe something important. Hence the caution for folks fiddling with the urge to fiddle with the kundalini*.
But regarding the uncomplication, all that needs to be done in the course of the day is maintain the tension of the bowstring throughout the body, to borrow an old teaching. The tension radiates from the massive nerve plexus back and front to connect along the limbs and outward through all the organs and fingertips and strands of hair with the universal prana flowing in the aether, which is of a physicality non-conceptually discernible through the holistic organ of total body, from the head to the toes, and also simultaneously isolated in sensation as the attention moves.
Yogananda* spoke of this within the principles of Kriya Yoga* in his observations, such as the infusion of consciousness throughout the body. This is merely referenced as a public domain source for avenues of further inquiry, should one be interested, and is not to be taken as an endorsement of, or lineage-based description of, Kriya Yoga. Let’s make that perfectly clear, so as not to impune via misinterpretations caused by impurities.
However, to keep it germaine for philosophical purposes, as a filter of awareness’ perception, which is what a living philosophical outlook actually is outside the classroom…
An offshoot outlook that derives from the physical allows for the proper bowstring tension in all situations to effortlessly and naturally maintain, so that energy flows through all the movements of living. The energy tones the body and the body naturally bends to the universal flow of the conduits. As a related aside, it’s a little known fact that the muscle toning derived from running, jogging, and walking is as much dependent upon the chemical process triggered by deep oxygenation as is repeated, semi-conscious muscular contractions such as those found in power walking.
Or, with life as the measure, one easily gets the sense of why gymnasiums are rather senseless by consciously activating full ranges of motion with muscular tension throughout daily activities.
The is why the conscious, imposed and internal conflict causing practice of celibacy is often the pathway to spontaneous Brahmacharya in which attachment to conflict falls away. Brahmacharya is actually understood non-conceptually via the experience of prana interacting with the earlier mentioned energy regions that can also be understood in quantum terms such as attention locating the electron in time and space which may be here, or there, with the variability intertwined with the instruments of perception, with deux machina.
Celibacy is merely an isolating practice, to find the differentiation from which the equanimity of attention/prana/energy is spontaneously recognized. Sorry, the distinctions are conceptual and thus the tendency for folks is to chain reality to definition, the apology perhaps confusing to one insisting on any particular taxonomy portioned out from reality’s unfolding, ever new and yet always revolving around the only absolute, Am*.
Of course questions are invited and as always, answers are optional and subject to influences beyond your control, as most folks who write in water realize.
* Look it up.
