Peace and Blessings Family,

Are there Spiritual benefits of sexual abstinence, and if so, what are they?

I've heard that there are some spiritual places that can't be reached unless one abstains from sexual activity.

Now, i don't know where those places are, but i've heard that.

Are you familiar with any positive spiritual benefit from not having sex, and is there a particular method to what you've learned of?

For example, must the abstinence last some certain number of days, or be a part of some other fast or spiritual process, to be effective?

Can a person simply be more spiritual, by abstaining, with no real spiritual goal in mind?

Or are you of the understanding that there is no positive Spiritual gain experienced, based on abstaining from sex?

Thanks in advance.

found that I gained any spiritual benefits from abstinence. I have, however, found the act of making love WITH SOMEONE YOU CONNECT WITH to be VERY spiritual. But, that is just me.

Since I’m like Gloriana, I think it would be a good thing for me to share on this post. I have many years to think about this. I think that ‘ is in the mind first and after having the opportunity to look back, I believe that because of the history of humanity, this most important part of life has been so exploited that the real benefit of it and how it can enhance life is so misconstrued. For young people, education is so important for a healthy ‘ life but, who can give good advice in this world!? My position in life was absolutely ‘not a choice’! But having been faced with a certain circumstance, well, I’ve learned the value of ‘self sacrifice’ when you have ‘charity’ and put the welfare of someone else’ above yourself. After so many years too, I have come to believe that ‘yes’ abstinence is ‘spiritual’. It is a spiritual cleansing. One benefit for me is that I have been able to focus on a longer range goal such as having ‘life eternal’. I have come to really look forward to having better wholesome relationships with others on this planet without the constant threat of being exploited. When I think about my younger years, WHEW! . . . I feel so much at peace now about certain issues that as a young girl, I was faced with. Sometimes, I think that I might had too much attention, and when I look around now and see young girls and how they are being exploited . . . I remember the inner pain I was sometimes left to deal with. So now that I’ve made a decision to sacrifice myself for someone else, it is kind of a two-fold benefit. I get to grow up spiritually and learn how to see the reality that life and gratification goes beyond the flesh.

I oftentimes think about AbraHam, the founding father of the faith. How amazing was he! Even though AbraHam came from Terah of whom had more than one wife and, even though AbraHam lived during a time of humanity in which it was well accepted for men to have many wives, he did not do it! AbraHam did not put Sarah, his wife through that kind of competition and, even though she had been barren for most of his young life, AbraHam still never brought in another wife for Sarah to have to contend with. . . . I think that in these modern times we need to refocus on the true benefit of relationships and respect. ‘ was not an act that was created to be exploited. If we as humans could reflect on the fact that it was a creation to produce great fulfillment and when it is taken with a sense of respect and wholeness it would much more gratifying than the mode we have been so negatively conditioned to engage in.

You become stronger.

Personally.... I'll lift weights.

LOL! . . . I here you.

Warrior Goddess Destee, there are many people that take a vow of celibacy in order to focus their energies elsewhere. This is the case with "clerical celibacy" for those that enter into the catholic priesthood. Sexual abstinence is commonly practiced as a cleansing period between sex partners. It is really meant to purge the body of the energy of a partner we are no longer involved with. There are several types of cleansing rituals that Women especially do in different countries and spiritual traditions.

The "spiritual benefits" of such a choice is debatable because it really depends on the person and what they are calling "spiritual." I know for me personally, when I made the choice to be sexually abstinent, it was to cleanse my body of energy that I believed was attracting results in my life that I did not want as we are all known to deposit our energy into our partners.

When there is a spiritual benefit to sexual abstinence it is because we were consumed by and obsessed with sex to begin with, so then by abstaining from it we allow ourselves to focus on our spirituality. The other benefit may also be the physical and mental act of cleansing the body- freeing ourselves from old baggage.

You will hear about Monks & Sages etc, in countries like India, China, South America as well as Africa- Holy Men and Women that become asexual for the purpose of restricting themselves from what they believe is mortal conduct in order to gain an audience with divine sources. I respect the holy life, but it's really all one big illusion if we looked at it. We all abstain from sex, and we are all asexual beings. It all depends on how we measure our cycles of time as well as the sexual experience.

Physical intercourse is a perverted idea for many divine people around the world. By redirecting their sexual energy they are able to tap into energies many people can't. Keep in mind this is not because they are not having sex. This is because they are using their sexual energy for different purpose than most of us are. The message there is that others can achieve some of the same abilities by also redirecting their sexual energy even when having physical sex. The more content one is with there asexuality, which is the love for self- even at a very sexual and passionate level, then the more spiritual that person will be. Why do we think MJ was always feeling on himself?

More than anyone else, your love should be for self- and it is that love for self that you invest in and then expand it out to others. After that the natural choice is that we find our "self" inside a physical opposite. There is a benefit in the moments we have sex and in the moments when we are not having sex, which are the moments of sexual abstinence. We could be at it like jackrabbits 24-7, the moments of abstinence will always outnumber the moments of sexual experience.

We gain from these moments spiritually when we discover them as re-connecting moments with our true identity. When we realize that having sex with our spiritual partner is like picking up the phone and calling up the divine-self, just to say Hi, I'm here. The body of our partner should be treated as such a device because we are in fact tapping into the spirit. When we are not having sex is the period when that call we made previously, is returned. Whatever we manifested during sex will manifest into our reality.

Abstinence

It really depends on what point or stage you are in - in your life. There will be times that your body or internal being will ask you to abstain from sexual activities.

We have to cleanse our energy from the energies we've penetrated or have been penetrated by . Women more so because they are internal beings which means the external man pushes his negative/positive energy through the body like doctor with a syringe. We are in fact energy beings, moving at a level of 99.999% so when you have two bodies creating friction it has the affect of a dirt rock being chiseled at the edges. Energy breaks off from one body unto the next which goes along with the "Energy is neither lost or destroyed ... " but can be transferred from one place to the next. Women being internal beings - a lot of this energy is being broke off inside of the women. Men as well are prone to such energy but women at a much higher rate.

Usually when this happen most women are unaware especially if they are the free love type. They have all types of energies been dropped upon them unaware. Periods of abstinence is most beneficial based on getting your life back in balance. I'm a man and I go through periods of abstinence because I understand the need for cleansing energies that doesn't belong to me.

The good thing about that is when you get off of that abstinence period ... ooooweeee

good times


Peace
