O.K. Thanks everyone for your replies. It was very interesting to read them. When people express their views on sexuality and related issues it’s actually quite insightful and helps understand their background better.
Out of the people who replied me there’s only Anthony who seems to be a new person to me and his replies look quite naive, from which I conclude that he wasn’t following the previous discussions I had here on Samyama issues. Everybody else has already spoken in my threads, it’s the same old people. I have an impression that there actually are not really so many active participants of this forum. It may be a few dozens tops. Don’t you guys think it would be a good idea for you to get together and meet physically once in a time with the people you talked to so many times? Think of it. An AYP Forum Party (or Conference, if you prefer that style)?
As to your answers…
Well, David, I thought you were smarter than that. At least I had that impression half a year back. I’m wondering, is it your ‘healthy and fulfilling emotional-sexual life’, that contributed to your mental development and spiritual sharpness so remarkably, or had I overestimated your discriminative level from the very beginning?
Don’t you feel I’m just playing with you? Giving some extra emotional flavour, so the dogs have something to bark at? Where is he actually, that loud and angry one, LeDog? Chasing the rabbits on the Fields of spiritual combat? Fighting the Ego (have I told you already, Ego actually enjoys to be fought with, it thrives when pushed hardly into a corner, because this ensures an opportunity for it to receive the maximum attention and engage into the never-ending conflict)?
Do you remember Mahesh’s words: “We don’t fight with the darkness, we just switch on the light”. That was actually quite a neat pointed one out of his aphorisms, very close to the Truth. I think Mahesh had a good start and his soul was a very high level one when he became a Guru. But the further he went into the material side of his expansion, the more he got tangled and degraded from his original spiritual level. His best and purest teachings were his first ones, made within the beginning decades. He also has a good skill to make a nice start for the things, even up till now. His best ideas are always to be found in his establishing speeches. Mars is his dominating energy: Tamasic and enslaving, but full of unshakable wisdom in its deepest roots. Sharply piercing into the new ways, balancing the luring half-truth with the candy wrapping of Maya, but always established in the origin. Have you traced the Drona’s fate in Mahabharata? That’s a very good example of the Mars dominated psyche…
But anyway, I’m going too far away from the topic…
So, what was it? Ah, the Sexuality?... I already feel somewhat bored with this topic… There’s so much of interest in the realms above it…
But, a few more words for the seeking ones. Why do some people find it so difficult to break free from it? Because the Tamasic energies called to life during the Sexual intercourse are very strong. They leave inscriptions on the stone of your soul which you would not erase in years and years (and maybe lives and lives) to come. Yes, it is true that your sexual partners stay with you for a very long time on the level of the mind. Especially your first sexual partners, as their sexual energy is untouched and innocent within the given lifetime (and they hardly have the energy control skills to reach to their relations from the previous lives; the God’s greatest blessing of forgetfulness is still on them, they don’t feel the weight of the incredible burden of millions of relationships they’ve already been into; they had been blessed to forget the habit of directing their energy into these relationships and have an opportunity for a new, better start, once more). Even if your time-limited physical contact did not seem to be specially strong or emotional, once you engage into physical sex with someone, there’s a habit developed on your Samskaras’ level for you to direct your sexual energy into connection with that person. You may realize your stronger energy connection only after some longer period of time.
And once you have this connection, your and your partner’s minds are interweaved forever, whether you want it, or not. This is a connection you’ll finally have an adequate chance to break free from only when you leave this body. Have never heard? Orgasm is like a little death (that’s why it is capable to give new life). Only the physical death can fully compensate and wipe away the energy connections an Orgasm creates.
That’s why if you are going to engage into sexual relationship, most religions recommend to have a steady relationship with one partner (or several partners), rather that changing your partners like underwear. There’s more to it than just Sex. If you can’t help going into physical Sex, try at least to make it your engine for your thoughtful, long-term and deep spiritual value based energy connections with the other humans (your wife/husband, your permanent partner etc.) It is the spiritual/emotional value, which counts the most, not the physical side. And it is the inner, spiritual value of any relationship, which provides the most opportunities for your evolution and understanding of the energy world.
However, for an innocent mind (free from the bondage of lower sexual energy connections) many avenues are open. Such a mind has a flexibility and freedom unconstrained, unchained by the infusion of other conditioned individual souls with all their dirt, material aspirations, unresolved spiritual conflicts, fears, crimes, stress etc. An innocent mind is free to fly with the Gods. Gods create and procreate by will power only. By the power of Holy Spirit (think of the chaste conception of virgin Mary).
Relating to my private experience, I was unfortunate to have willingly entered a few sexual relationships in my younger years. At that time I had no purity of mind and wisdom to realize what will it deprive me of. All of these few relationships became a heavy chain around my legs in my subsequent attempts to reach the higher and more sublime energy realms. I had to drag my former sexual partners all the way long together with me, their energy lines were always together with me in my mind, and felt more and more of a nuisance the further I moved. Some of their material aspirations became inhibitive of my energy allocation style and dragged me down and away from the path I was trying to follow. I had to repay the energy exchange debts my Sexual Connections had created thousand-fold to become relatively free only after years of celibate practice. Even now, when my mind is clear of the sexual thoughts, a distant echo of past is always lurking somewhere in the darker corners of my soul. It is enough for me to accidentally trip over a few sex-related Samyama combinations in my research to call the Sex related Samskaras of this life back to my mind and have to spend another day or two cleaning the waves of dirt they arouse.
Also, speaking about my individual private experience, I shape-shift my mind at the pace unreachable by ordinary human. Any deeper and permanent energy connection with some other normal person would be like harnessing a horse together with an automobile. I think such a harness would be a problem and a great slow down both for the horse and for the automobile.

Relating to my Samyama threads, it might be interesting for those who follow them, that I wrote my last messages on Samyama (may 9th and may 10th) with Mithuna energy activated in the 11th Bhava (incl. to 12th), then I changed the location of the Mithuna object to the 7th (incl. to 6th) and wrote the first message in the Sexuality related thread. And finally this last message is written with the Mithuna in the 3rd Bhava (incl. to 2nd), which I activated since yesterday afternoon. The changes are obvious for those who do have eyes trained to see the energies. The remaining 5 energies of the Heavenly group (Dhanu, Meena, Simha, Karka, Kanya) remained on the same positions (i.e. 9th incl. 10th, 5th incl. to 4th, 10th incl. to 9th, 4th incl. to 5th, and Lagna incl. to 2nd in the above order).
Good luck.
P.S. Christi, thanks for your input, yes you read me well and correct, but you don’t read me fully. Try to read between the lines. Also, you’d make a good spiritual teacher, you have the ability to see and emphasize the positive aspects of a person’s expression. That’s a valuable asset. But don’t get caught in the illusion of positive. Go deeper, criticize yourself and others, root out the imperfections of your soul, cast them away, having brought them to the light.
Anthony, it might be interesting for you. I NEVER willingly used any drugs in this life. I don’t use alcohol, tobacco, caffeine containing products and haven’t eaten meat, eggs and some other types of food for over a 15 years. However, I can boast many experiences and visions the users of entheogenic (hallucinogenic) drugs would not imagine in their wildest drug-induced dreams.
The shamanic ‘path of the warrior’ and its philosophy was one of the theories I found useful and broadly integrated into multiple levels of my spiritual approach. At some stage, however, I had to review the original materials these theories are based upon and to take the elements which do work for me, while casting away those mistaken and faulty ones (there are, unfortunately, many of such misleading and mistaken elements in the renderings I had a chance to get acquainted with, like e.g. Castaneda’s materials). I know how many people read these materials and how they make it their excuse and guide for using hallucinogenic drugs. And I can only laugh (if not weep) at the results they achieve. In terms of spiritual vision they are being deeply pathetic… Any strong drugs (incl. alcohol and tobacco) are related to the tamasic energies and have all the side effects I outlined as related to the sexuality.
