"Already apparent and well accepted is the fact that there is little enough curiosity regarding the true nature and availability of the human psychic sexual machinery. We shall not belabor you with repetition of already well-known factors, which in themselves control or at least influence the quality of one's sexual performance.
"Less well known is the effect which mental and more subtle factors have on both the male and the female ability to perform satisfactorily sexually on demand. Those certain subjective factors are in themselves more heavily dependent upon mental and spiritual conditioning, more on thoughts and feelings, on appearances, than they are on the so-called facts of physical or economic conditions. And most of all, it is but little realized how dependent in turn both the mind and the physical factors are upon dietary and body chemistry factors as yet but little accepted or controlled by the general public.
"There are indeed several ways to restore most of one's sexual performance. A high tone of physical conditioning enables a person to take in the larger amounts of Oxygen needed to keep the inner fires burning, so that larger amounts of Adrenaline are available to stir the physical structures to their highest rate of energy consumption, i.e., to assure efficient carburetion. In turn, once the greater oxygen consumption is restored, the heart muscles can again pump the required amounts of blood flow to assure tumescence of the respective male and female sexual apparatus.
Role That Attitude Plays In Sexual Performance
"And of course, there is also the factor of mental ATTITUDE. Because of the primary role attitude plays in the associated mental current flow processes, the place and power of the mind to influence the relative efficiency of one's sexual performance cannot go unnoticed.
"The subtler influences operating in one's overall ability or interest in functioning sexually are experienced on three discernible levels. Then, rather than just being between the legs, proper and full access to the heights of sexual enjoyment requires proper conditioning and balancing on each level for the spiritual currents, the Prana, the Kundalini, to integrate and energize each corresponding activity on each and on all three of those levels. Without said properly integrated and balanced current flows, it is impossible for a human couple to experience the heights and delights which the Tantra devotee and couple can experience.
"Of course, the human race will make do, accepting whatever forms and degrees of sexual expression are at hand to enjoy. However, it is almost always feasible for copulating couples to further heighten their sexual experience by PROPER EXERCISE, PROPER EATING HABITS, PROPER THINKING, and PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS.
"When it comes down to putting on the finishing touches, one needs to be freed of mental patterns, free of recorded programming which usually controls what its autonomous ego-defense and control system permits to influence the sexual processes. When a person has recordings of taboos and trauma connected with sexual activities, it becomes difficult or impossible for the person to experience energy flows strong enough to guarantee a useful erection in the male, or a corresponding orgasmic condition in the female.
"We are telling you that the condition of the subconscious mind, with all its programming operating constantly without conscious direction or detection, is a larger single factor in human sexual performance and pleasure than any other, excepting actual surgical or physiological damage to the associated neural communication lines.
"Anyone who would prepare himself to experience only and always the highest levels of sexual enjoyment will do well to commence an in-depth program of self-discovery to renew, update and remedy the sex-related processes and recordings operating from below the level of awareness.
"Subconscious recordings at all related to trauma, violation, feelings of inadequacy in any portion of the human psyche, or inhibitions from family or cultural sources, guilt, fears of discovery or pregnancy or disease . . . all are probably still operating to reduce one's freedom to be a sexual being. Inhibitions from past-lives are carried forward, even religious vows taken in earlier incarnations, often are still influencing the returned incarnate soul.
"We summarize our position at the moment as requiring three factors to be properly opened and balanced, so that the human reproductive processes shall be available in their highest working condition for enjoyment, as contrasted to only enough libido to reproduce.
Transcending The Satisfactions Of Lust
"Let it be recognized that there is a hidden payoff for having undertaken to provide one's sexual expressions at the very highest levels of mutual enjoyment . . . transcending the satisfactions of lust, however enticing. The greatest spiritualized enjoyment produces or attracts only the highest levels of spirit beings into incarnation. When undertaken for the purposes of both recreation and reproduction, the waves of Spirit radiate through neighborhood galactic space, as if advertising that an opportunity to incarnate is being generated, so that interested candidates can consider themselves being solicited.
"One might suspect that any involvement of drugs into the sexual processes would have direct or indirect effects on one's capacity for and ability to enjoy himself. Use of contraceptive methods also can improve or lessen the enjoyment capable of being experienced. When several contraceptive methods are employed simultaneously, the heights of available enjoyment are diminished, to be sure, even if some participating couples are unwilling or unable to enjoy sexuality without them! Perhaps having a little pleasure is better than having none at all, but the long-term effects should at least be considered.
"For example, let it be contemplated that use of the simple basic condom by design serves well to retain the male fluids, and at times diminishing the possibility of disease transfer from one partner to the other. But at the same time, it is observable clairvoyantly that lessened current flows also are operating to reduce the intensity of the kundalini force, making sexual intercourse a less pleasurable thing.
"Other chemical products widely known to be capable of preventing pregnancy and initiating abortion are available in the USA and France. As with 'the Pill', all are widely used. Many users throw caution to the winds when 'On the Pill,' but the fear of pregnancy is subordinated to other fears, such as guilt, the exercise of propriety, the operation of ingrained social or religious factors. These in turn directly relate to the accepted inner-self programming operating at the time of a sexual liaison or union.
"Stimulants taken to enhance sexual performance are known to be available, but almost always are attended with complicating factors. Certain members of the herbal Cannabis family (from which we derive the expression 'connubial bliss') are known to gorge the sexual areas with blood, to promote tumescence, but the user risks uncontrollable hemorrhaging. What constitutes excess differs widely from one person to the next. It is more or less obvious that age, or decrepitating bodies, out of condition, sated with alcohol or other mind-deadening fluids and foods, serve to impair one's capacity even for simple love-making, enjoyment . . . recreational use of the human sexual equipment, and deny access to the higher sensate levels.
"Then it appears that one's highest enjoyment of the god-given capacity to use sexual activity for pleasure is heavily dependent, not only on subtle current flows, but also on how well one observes other subjective factors, such as the Social Mores of the times, on psychological, physiological an biological factors, and/or on one's relative responsiveness to the subtler wavelengths of the human soul and mind.
Subjective Factors Are Operating In Sexual Performance
"The fact that subjective factors are operating is often noted when one person feels some inner revulsion or attraction to another person. Subtle past-life factors may or may not be operating to encourage or to prevent sexual activity, because the same feelings can be generated from one's unconscious programming, but the disgust or attraction factor is removed or honored in different ways.
"When a person has begun consciously to prepare for reception of the higher forces or energies, the real spiritual energies, he becomes sensitized to those same lesser-evident forces operating in other persons, in addition to his own. He gradually becomes susceptible to the IDEA that subtle sexual forces are operating, which are often interpretations of a more fundamental nature than a psychic affinity. Then, rather than God telling a couple to copulate, it is entirely probable that some old chemical or programmed Akashic condition is stirring up unrecognized sources. Too often the presence or operation of Love is entirely absent!
"The human ego-self is almost wildly creative in finding excuses for, and in arranging ways to do what it wants to do, or in finding excuses for NOT doing same. Hence, when a person claims that 'God wants me to do this,' or that 'the Devil made me do it,' it is often interesting and well to look deeper into the root cause for one's urges to manifest sexually.
"There are indeed discarnate forces operating in the universe, most often humans who died without having ever really satisfied themselves in the sexual aspects of incarnate life. They are still seeking conditions and receptive or controllable humans to do FOR them and THROUGH them what they are unable to do without having flesh of their own. Simply stated, this means that spiritual possession may be present and operating, as when persons indulge in drugs, alcohol, and sexual orgies. Persons in orgiastic situations thus contribute to their own later discarnate dissatisfactions, and ultimately are required by the ongoingness of Life Itself to relieve themselves of such driving forces.
"The deeper is one's participation in orgiastic activity, the more lifetimes are required to release said soul from entrapment to such addictive activity. Such activity is perpetuated through reincarnation until the urgency burns itself out. Basically degenerative in nature, such souls draw or relegate themselves into later or following lifewaves. If pursued to the usual end, one can confine self to the Eternal Darkness, the 'outer darkness' of the Bible.
"At this point we hope and trust that we have made our points strongly enough and clearly enough so we have shown that you CAN and MAY enhance your own sexual intercommunication activities. We have at least exposed you to the processes at work in the human so that you will strive to perfect yourself in Diet, in Thought, in Physical Exercise, and in use of the Spoken Word to manifest conditions of a mutually satisfactory nature, and that one must indeed prepare himself and herself for living in and enjoying life on ALL LEVELS . . . simultaneously!
"Perhaps you are beginning to cognize that sexual relations on the higher levels have hardly been thought about, in the rush to go out and 'get laid.'
"Now, let it be additionally recognized that there comes a time when the human will not need sexual intercourse, either to create additional forms for incoming spirit, or for expression of the highest possible affinities. It is indeed possible, and has been demonstrated in present-life circumstances (by persons known to the author) that it is possible for a higher level of affinity to be expressed WITHOUT THE USE OF HUMAN SEXUAL ORGANS. It becomes a matter then of learning to differentiate between what is known and practiced as PERSONAL LOVE versus what is called TRANSPERSONAL or simply as IMPERSONAL LOVE . . . love without physical sex as known and often practiced on Earth.
