how does sex affect spirituality and the development of the soul? i have done some research and recall hearing that certain practitioners of meditation practice chastity ... i do not mean total absitnence, but the forbidden fruit, the orgasm. how does this tie in to ascension?

i always thought that sex and spirituality were pretty closely connected. unfortunately our american society has all sorts of hangups about this, and thus it deprives us of a valuable teaching tool. the practice that you mentioned (of arousal without orgasm), can be very powerful, because the orgasm releases all the energy. so if you don't release the energy, you can harness it or direct it. this is a fairly simple process.

suppose for instance that you decided that one of the things you needed to work on is your heart area. for instance love; empathy; compassion; forgiveness, etc. then you would get the arousal energy worked up, but this time, instead of seeking release you would direct the energy up thru your chakra system to your heart area. you can almost feel this as a physical process, and with a little practice you can feel and direct the energy mentally, physically and emotionally.

one of my best friends who has also been on a spiritual path for many years, was divorced and lived alone for quite some time. he would always do this; he would transmute the sexual energy into spiritual energy, and it worked very well for him. however, he eventually met a woman he was attracted to and he decided he wanted to have a relationship with her. now the problem was that he had trained his body to automatically transmute all of his sexual energy, without even thinking about it. so it was extremely difficult for him to un-learn this process, his body would no longer 'hold' the energy in the lower chakras, it would simply flow up thru the chakras like he taught it to.

the ancient egyptians who were taught as initiates in the mystery schools were taught a lot of sexual procedures as well. for example they thought that the release of semen was a dangerous drain of energy. they actually believed they could die from too much of it. so it was very important for them to learn to direct the energy. they would visualize the energy as it left the body exiting out the front, then making a complete circle over the head, coming around and entering the back, so that it was not lost. they called this the key of life and it was often symbolized by what we now call the ankh.
