Using Sex Energy to Power your Mental Creativity Part 2

24

In part 1, we explained the importance of using sex energy to lift an individual’s creative ability to a higher level. The urge for sex is the most powerful of all human desires. This desire can be so great that it brings out a persons keenness of imagination, persistence, will power, and creativity in an instant. Some people are even willing to trade their life’s worth and reputation just to go for it. Sex is a motivation. And when it is used properly, it can bring you into a creative avenue you never imagined. In this final part we examine how this can be achieved.

The harnessing of sex energy calls for the exercise of a lot of will-power, to be sure, but the reward is worth the effort. The desire for sexual expression is inborn and natural. The desire cannot, and should not be submerged or eliminated. But it should be given an outlet through forms of expression which enrich the body, mind, and spirit of man. If not given this form of outlet, it will seek outlets through worthless physical channels like sleeping around. The mere possession of this energy is not sufficient to give you great creative ability to dealing with problems. The energy must be channeled from desire for physical contact, into some other form of desire and action, before it will provide one with creative powers.

Far from becoming great, because of great sex desires, the majority of people lower themselves, through misunderstanding and misuse of this great force, to the status of the lower animals. Over indulgency in sex habits is just as detrimental as over indulgency in habits of over drinking and eating. In this age in which we live, an age in which sex sells everything, over indulgency in habits of sex is common. This orgy of indulgence may account for the great spread of sex related diseases. No man can avail himself of the forces of his creative imagination, while dissipating his sexual energy. Man is the only creature on earth which violates nature’s purpose in this connection. Every other animal indulges in sex in moderation, and with purpose which harmonizes with the laws of nature. Every other animal responds to the call of sex only in “season.”

Every intelligent person knows that stimulation in excess, through alcoholic drink and drugs, is a habit which destroys the vital organs of the body, including the brain. Over indulgence in sex expression too may become a habit as destructive and as detrimental to creative effort as drugs or liquor.

A sex-obsessed individual is not essentially different than a drug addicted man! Both have lost control over their faculties of reason and will-power. Sexual over indulgence may not only destroy reason and will-power, but it may also lead to either temporary or permanent insanity.
Lucky or blessed, indeed, is the person who has discovered how to give sex emotion an outlet through some form of creative effort, for he has, by that discovery, lifted himself to the status where he can access his or her creative faculty.

The creative imagination functions best when the mind is stimulated at an exceedingly high rate. When brain action has been stimulated, through mind stimulants, it has the effect of lifting the individual far above the horizon of ordinary thoughts, and permits him to envision distance, scope, and quality of thoughts not available without stimulation, such as that occupied while one is engaged in the solution of the problems of business and professional routine.

While on this exalted plane of thinking, the creative faculty of the mind is given freedom for action. The creative faculty becomes more alert and receptive to ideas, originating outside the individual’s subconscious mind, the more this faculty is used, and the more the individual relies upon it, and makes demands upon it for thought impulses. This faculty can be cultivated and developed only through use.

Research done in the 1930s in the west of over 250 000 people disclosed that rarely does an individual enter upon highly creative effort in any field of endeavor before the age of forty. The average man reaches the period of his greatest capacity to create between forty and sixty. Hence the phrase life begins at 40. The major reason why the majority of men who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty, is their tendency to dissipate or waste their energies through over indulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex. The majority of men never learn that the urge of sex has other possibilities, which far transcend in importance, that of mere physical expression. The majority of those who make this discovery do so after having wasted many years at a period when the sex energy is at its height, prior to the age of forty-five to fifty.
The lives of many men up to, and sometimes well past the age of forty, reflect a continued dissipation of energies, which could have been more profitably turned into better channels. Their finer and more powerful emotions are sown wildly to useless causes.

This is why saying “NO” to sex can skyrocket your creative passion. If you get yourself into that heightened state of emotional intensity you are going to be more aware, more sensitive to stimuli, feeling more alive, exuberant and expressive, more energised and inspired. And those are all qualities you can draw on to be creative, inspirational, and exceptionally minded.

The key is to have an agenda or goal that is inspiring to you. Something that feels so incredibly appealing that you have an almost sexual attraction to it. The thought of your goal being achieved is downright arousing, and you experience a biological response to that effect.

When you’re sexually aroused, you feel a compulsion to take some kind of action. Your hormones take over, and you become incredibly focused and can’t think about anything but the object of your desire. This is what it feels like to be driven by a goal that really inspires you. It’s a magnificent obsession; even daydreaming about it is a delightful, energy-building experience. There’s a pleasant feeling of tension that drives you onward towards release.

Even though you may face some challenges and resistance along the way, they don’t demoralize you because overcoming them is a pleasurable experience when you’re aroused. Pursuing your goals is like practicing the art of seduction. You don’t whine about the problems you encounter because overcoming them only heightens your pleasure. If a problem knocks you back, you may be temporarily frustrated, but in the long run it just makes the pursuit that much more exciting and the reward that much greater.

In conclusion, lets recap. Sexual desire is the most powerful human emotion. By achieving a state of sexual desire and maintaining it, you keep the mind in a heightened state of arousal and activity. When you mix sex and love, you have the perfect mix for drawing on the creative mind… if you can turn your desire for sex into a desire for something else, such as writing a poem, working out a business problem or getting direct spiritual insights.

Over indulgence in sex and orgasm will quell the feeling of desire and the affect that it has on the mind. For example, once a man ejaculates, more often than not he rolls over and falls asleep! One moment he’s a tiger, straining with every part of his body and mind to get what he wants … the next he’s unconscious! This works the same for female as well.

Your goal is to access states of mind that great thinkers do. You require the stimulation of the most powerful human emotion: sex. This will bring your mind to a heightened state of awareness and sensitivity. In expanded states of consciousness you have access to sources of knowledge that you would not otherwise have when simply involved in everyday reality thinking (worry, obsessing, trivial pursuits etc). The goal is to conserve your sexual fluids if you want to be the greatest. All great athletes and thinkers know that wasteful ejaculation can rob you of your powers.

A sexual desire can stimulate the mind. It can bring the creativity out in a man or a woman. It can make them do plentiful things and positive things for themselves and their craft – something that could take them to the level of supreme intelligence – the kind of intelligence that brings wealth, fame, and satisfaction.

She said her officers where still on the ground looking for the lions which were still in the area so that they could control them.

ago, no other killings have been reported.

Ms Mwape however, appealed to the villagers in the affected area to be careful in their movements as the animals were hovering around the area.

FRA disappoints Mpombo

0

A senior government official has  expressed disappointment with the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) for not clearing the maize storage sheds to provide room for the purchase of this year’s produce.

Speaking in Katete when he paid a courtesy call on acting Katete District Commissioner today, Defence minister George Mpombo said the FRA sheds in the area were still filled with last year’s maize meaning that the purchasing exercise for this year’s crop cannot start immediately as recently directed by the head of state.

Mr Mpombo said the delays in the commencement of the exercise will subject farmers
to brief case buyers who exploit them.

The minister implored Katete District Commissioner to ensure that the crop marketing
exercise in Katete commences immediately to ensure that farmers get the right value
for their sweat.

And Katete District commissioner Elemiya Mwanza commended government for supporting farmers through the fertilizer support programme which ahs boosted agriculture production in the area.

Mr. Mwanza however said this year’s maize crop yield would be low due to excessive
rains  experienced in the area.

He said the the situation was worsened by the outbreak of the larger grain borer, LGB, which destroyed crops in the fields.

He added that the heavy rains also caused extensive damages to roads and bridges
making it difficult for farmers to ferry their crops to marketing points.

The DC also bemoaned the lack of transport and accommodation for the police
department which has made it difficult for them to carry out patrols in the area.

In reply Mr Mpombo said government through the ministry of Home Affairs will
consider constructing a police camp in Katete to ease the problem of accommodation
among police officers.

ZANAMA appeals to Levy for space in markets

0

The Zambia National Marketeers Association (ZANAMA) has  appealed to  President Mwanawasa to allow market associations to operate within  Markets so that they could monitor the activities of the boards that would be put in place under the newly signed Market and Bus Stations Act of 2007.

ZANAMA President, Elvis Nkandu said  Marketeers would  only benefit from the
Citizens Empowerment and Decentralisation Policies that government has embarked
on if they they are given the mandate to play a  critical role in the management
of the Markets

Mr Nkandu said his association  would seek audience with President  Mwanawasa over
the establishment of Market Boards before the newly signed Market and Bus Stations
Act Number seven of 2007  comes into effect.

Mr  Nkandu said the Marketeers were not against the new Act and establishment of
the boards but were worried that certain clauses in the Act  were aimed at
discriminating Zambian Marketeers.

  He said there was need for Market Associations to be allowed to operate within
Markets so that marketeers could monitor the activities of the Boards.

 Speaking during a sensitization workshop for Marketeers on the  New Bus Station
and Market Act  held at Chisokone Market yesterday,  Mr Nkandu said there was need
for the Marketeers to meet the President so that they could state their position
on the matter as they were not consulted on the establishment of the Act.

 He said the Marketeers have not rejected the Act but simply wanted to clarify
certain matters with the President which were against the Citizens Empowerment
and Decentralisation Policies that Government was promoting.

 He added that the composition of the Boards as stipulated by the new Act was not
done in good faith as the Marketeers would be disadvantage due to a limited number
of Marketeers to sit on the Boards.

Mr Nkandu further said the President was misled by the Local Authorities on the
management and operations of the Markets hence the need for ZANAMA to meet the
President so that a number of issues could be clarified before the new act is put
in place.

He added that the new Act was aimed at punishing certain individuals and
associations which were against the poor management of markets by the Local
authorities.

He further said the Marketeers were not comfortable with the Composition of the
Boards and wanted to watch the developments carefully.
