That sleep trick reminds me of renal shock. For whatever that's worth.

Hey LightMystic Just picked myself up off the floor. Havent read any more of the thread than your reply to the first item. I see your sense of humour is coming along in leaps and bounds. Its really good to be back. Serenity. " Hey, thanks for the link Shawn. Sounds good.
And after that I recommend my book "The Furiously Masturbating Seeker." "

That was funny. Though, I'm pretty sure if you're masturbating, you're doing celibacy all wrong!

Now I've got a dilema.
Which book should I try first? I'm sort of guessing that I cant read both at once. Let alone practice both at once.
An ideal time to stop taking my meds for my split personality for a while, then maybe I can achieve both goals.
Best Serenity

Hehe, thanks serenity. Just my way of attempting to gently poke at the notion that celibacy must be important to seeking. I'm not saying it cannot be for some people, but I am questioning the idea. Lost two karma points for it though. Personally, I would recommend taking celibacy (which means no sexual stimulation of any kind) along WITH furious masturbation. I find that tends to work best. But it's important to do both simultaneously. If one is just sticking with one of them, or (god forbid) alternating them, then it will surely not work. Enjoy! ;D Now I've got a dilema. Which book should I try first? I'm sort of guessing that I cant read both at once. Let alone practice both at once.

Regarding lack of women in the book, there is a 'no nuts' on page 50 that happens to be my wife. We were together 31 years and both of us agreed upon periods of celibacy at various times. It is and was a tool that is powerful for clarification of the mind, raising of energy. and directed intent. To have a spiritual partner of the opposite sex in agreement with you about this practice is amazingly rare but can be the most romantic of all relationships. I would go into isolation and she would be supportive while in agreement with my search for ultimate definition for that was her passion also. I might add that we both became One. - Gary

Thanks for sharing this essay. The article in psychology today that the essay linked to was especially interesting. Orgasm is always followed by a two-week "hangover" period caused by neurochemical imbalance during which there are mood swings and usually a craving for a new sexual high. Homeostasis returns after two weeks. I'd guess many men perhaps never or rarely experience a prolonged state of neurochemical homeostasis, so the side effects caused by the imbalance are their normality. This article ( www.reuniting.info/orgasms_hidden_cycle) and other articles on that site address this. The point is, when one's neurochemistry is constantly out of balance, it does have it's effect on thinking, mood and actions. Having said that, I'm sure celibacy isn't necessarily the "true way". For me, whenever I've been consistent with it, it has increased my quality of life. It might not be necessary for finding one's Self, just like it isn't necessary to be a vegetarian or follow any other outer practices. As with anything, one should test it and see if it has any value on one's own path.
