Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen Sexual Energy and Kundalini Awakening

Chapter Sixteen Sexual Energy and Kundalini Awakening How does one overcome the sexual pull so that the kundalini can rise? For the birth of many lives, the energy is always going down through the sex center.So, when any energy is created, it will first try to move downwards.That's why meditation sometimes creates more sex in you than you felt before.You will feel more libido because you generate more energy than you ever had before.When you preserve something, that old, habitual channel is ready to release it.That mechanism is ready, that channel is ready.Your mind knows only one passage -- a lower, sexual passage.So when you are meditating, the first movement of your life energy will be downwards.Just be aware of it.

Don't fight it, just be aware of it.Be aware of the habitual channel, be aware of fantasies, let them come.Be aware of them, but don't do anything about the whole situation, just be aware of it.The sexual channel cannot open without your cooperation, but even if you cooperate with it for a moment, it can start to work, so don't cooperate with it, just be aware of it. The sexual process is such a fleeting phenomenon that it works only briefly.If you don't cooperate at that moment, it will stop.At that moment, your cooperation is needed, otherwise it cannot function.It is only a temporary process, and if you do not cooperate with it, it will stop by itself.

Again and again energy is created through meditation, it goes on moving downwards, but now you are aware of it.The old channel was cut -- not repressed.The energy is there and it needs to be released, but the lower door is closed, not repressed, closed.You're not working with it, that's it.You are not actively suppressing it, you are just passively not cooperating with it. You are only aware of what is happening in your mind, your body.You are just aware, and the energy is preserved.Then the amount of energy will become more and more intense and an upward rush will be necessary.Now the energy will go upwards, and by its force a new channel will be opened.

When the energy goes upwards, you are more sexually attractive to others, because the upward movement of life energy creates a great magnetism.You become more sexually attractive to others, so you have to be aware of that.Now you will attract others unconsciously, and this attraction will not only be physical, this attraction will also be etheric. Through yoga, even an unattractive body, an unattractive body, becomes attractive.That attraction is ethereal, and it is so attractive that one has to be constantly aware of it, constantly aware.You will be attractive, the opposite sex will be irresistibly attracted to you, there will be subtle vibrations in your ethereal body, and you must be aware of them.The kind of attraction that can be felt by the opposite sex will be different, it will take different forms, but it will be basically sexual.At its root it is sexual.

But you can help these people.Even if they are sexually attracted to you, they are attracted to an upwardly moving sexual energy.And they are not ordinary people who like sex. The upward moving sexual energy will become an attraction, a magnetism.So you can help them.If you are not involved, then you can help them. In the awakening of the kundalini, in the opening of the channel, is the sexual power increased? The increase in sexual power and the opening of the kundalini channels are simultaneous, but not the same.The increase in sexual power will be the impulse to open the higher energy centers.So the power of sex will increase.If you become aware of it and don't use it in sex, if you don't allow it to be released in sex, then it becomes so intense that the upward movement starts.

First of all, the energy tries to release as much as it can in sex, because that is its usual outlet, its usual center.So one must first be aware of one's downward "door".Only awareness can close them, only non-cooperation can close them.Sex is not as powerful as we feel it is, it is only temporarily powerful.It's not a 24-hour thing, it's a short challenge. If you can be uncooperative and aware, it will disappear.And you will feel happier than when the sexual energy is released from the downward channel.Conserving energy is always bliss, wasting energy is just a relief, it is not bliss.You unburden yourself, you ease something that bothers you.Then you become unburdened, but you also become empty.

The sense of emptiness that overwhelms the whole western mind is only because of the abuse of sex, life seems to be empty.Life is never empty, but it seems empty because you are just venting yourself, comforting yourself.If something is preserved, it becomes an asset.If your upward door is open and the energy is going upwards, then not only will you feel relief, not only is that point of tension released, but it is not empty.In a way, it is full, it is overflowing. The energy goes upwards, but the basic center does not become empty.This is overflow, and the energy of the overflow goes up, towards the brahman point on the top of the head.Then, near the Brahma Cave, there is neither upward movement nor downward movement.Now, the energy goes to that of the universe.It has come to the whole, it has come to Brahman - the ultimate reality.That's why the seventh chakra is called the brahmacharya on the head - the gate to Brahman, the gate to divinity.So there is no up and no down.It will feel as if something has penetrated upwards, rushed out.A moment comes when one feels as if something is no longer there, then it has gone.Now, it's overflowing into that channel.

The "petals" of the sahasra are just a symbol of the feeling that happens when the energy overflows.Exuberance is a flowering, just as a flower is itself an overflow.You will feel something become a flower.The door is open, and it will go out. It will not be felt inward, it will be felt outward.Something opens up like a flower, like a flower with 1000 petals.This is just a feeling, but this feeling corresponds to the truth.This feeling is a translation and interpretation.The mind cannot imagine it, but the feeling is like a flowering.The closest, closest thing we can say is this: it's like a bud opening.It's felt that way.That is why we imagine the unfolding of Sahasrah as a lotus flower with a thousand petals.

There are so many petals, so many!And they go on blooming, they go on blooming...the flowering is endless.It is an attainment, it is a flowering of humanity.That's when you become like a tree and everything in you blossoms. At that time, all you can do is to offer this flower to the divine. We give flowers all the time, but they are flowers that shatter.Only this flower is a true offering.
