Hi everyone,

Professional sexual manipulators and those threatened by higher chakra-centered human creative expression are often the first to attack the practice of re-directing sexual energy upward, beyond frequent 2nd chakra "battery drainage".

The incredible sexual toxicity that permeates the Hollywood film industry is but one example. Anything that threatens a very high dollar industry based upon the amoral sexual titillation of the masses is made suspect and mindlessly attacked.

The trouble is that the masses may be "being stimulated" right out of their natural creative potential.

The 2nd chakra is both sexual and creative. We can choose to do either with it - but not both (well) at the same time. Man or woman - it does appear to take us each some time to "charge it up".

Too many orgasms per unit of time, and you end up a "rave person", an Internet sex addict, or worse, yet: an aging "body worker" or "yoga instructor" without clientele.

Mantak Chia's book: Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy is a fantastic resource (for men) here:

All I know is what I have seen working - and distinctly not working - in the world of human creative success.

Men that engage in too many orgasms, per unit of time tend to be very weak mentally, spiritually, and personally. The classic jelly-spined, p-whipped "New Age Male", as Lazaris has often referred.

Anarchist: hippies (don't look at me, I'm a "responsible hippie"), rave kids - and mediocre types of all sorts - are often threatened by so much as even the thought of less frequent orgasm.

They fear that they wouldn't be as "harmonious" socially.

And that may be - exactly the point.

Real creativity - the kind that inspires both it's producer (and the public at-large) - is often distinctly not "socially harmonious".

I just heard all of "socially harmonious" Southern California groan.

We live in a social world, as Sylvia Brown www.sylvia.org describes it -- that is roughly 30% vs. 70% behaviorally evil. That majority of evil behavior relies on the "harmonious" cooperation of cowards.

The amoral greed-driven Hollywood "soft porn" establishment is extremely threatened by genuine human creativity. Note the scene from Dr. Strangelove that is referenced over and over to this day, with the crazy base commander and his: "precious bodily fluids".

Beyond Hollywood, there is the Madison Avenue "soft porn" advertising industry.

At the same time, however - if you've got a whole lot of long-suppressed emotion stuck in your 3rd chakra - anger, etc. - the practice of raising creative energy can be highly destructive. It is no wonder that profoundly 'dry' emotionally-suppressed people are often the most threatened and openly attacking of the "Tantric" creative practice.

Neil Slade's www.neilslade.com take on this is that we are far more capable of creating raw reality out of pure thought (creative visualization, cloud busting etc.) when we are sexually "charged-up" - just as Napoleon Hill, Mantak Chi, etc. have long described.

Mahatma Gandhi himself said in so many words, "A man who is unchaste loses stamina, becomes emasculated and cowardly, while in the chaste man secretions [semen] are sublimated into a vital force pervading his whole being." And: "Ability to retain and assimilate the vital liquid is a matter of long training. When properly conserved it is transmuted into matchless energy and strength."

Hey, I remember when John Denver (my partner, Bobbi and I used to work for his foundation in Aspen) - rejected what his father had taught him about the conservation of human sexual energy - something he often spoke of personally, as someting he had used to build his astounding creative success.

Once he bought the spiritually destructive new age lie about "more frequent orgasms" being somehow "more spiritual", he lost his recording contract with RCA and eventually died in a plane crash (the direct result of personal inattention to dangerously low reserve fuel tank levels).

Think about that, everyone.

A pretty powerful and direct very real life message to Bobbi and Steve, here.

The big lie about rates of prostate cancer rising in those who so "re-direct" is another disempowering new age lie and power-robbing fear tactic.

Mantak Chia's book goes into great detail about the ancient Chinese practice of both cultivating sexual/creative power - and how to do it without damaging the body (ie: risking prostate trouble).
