Celibacy Run by Yogi

Everyone who does kundalini yoga should make the effort for full celibacy. Why? Because that is the tradition. The bid for celibacy is part of the system of partner-shared-yoga practice which is now popular as tantric yoga. If the yogi does not study his or her gender profile, and fails to sort that and to parcel out his or her isolated gender needs, then the practice of yoga for any reason will be lacking in a self-illustration about the psyche. That would be like using a rudderless boat in the middle of an ocean.

Making the effort for celibacy is more about discovering if there is a possibility for full celibacy, than it is the attainment of full celibacy. Or stated more precisely, full celibacy is hardly likely except for very few ascetics. First of all full celibacy has to include celibacy of the subtle body. Most of the students of yoga, have no idea of the lifestyle of the subtle body. This means that even if they attain full celibacy on the physical plane that has nothing to do with what the subtle body does when it is transiting through astral dimensions.

If the yogi’s subtle body does not need to again create a physical casing, then it will not have to be involved in physical sexual intercourse hereafter. How does one know if the subtle body has this resistance to reincarnation?

The run for celibacy is a commitment which is ongoing through many physical lives of a yogi. If in one of those lives, providence gives the yogi the opportunity, he or she may attain full physical celibacy where there is no libido to deal with in that particular body, but this does not make a statement about what happens on the astral planes.

How does one reform the sexual interest of the subtle body? Just recently I was visited by a person who lost the last physical body over twenty (20) years ago. In that past life, this person was known as a righteous person who was duly married and was loyal to the spouse all the way through the physical lifetime. The person said this to me:

I am struck with wonder at how my subtle body assumed a sexual lust profile even though in my past life I was a righteous person and had quelled sex desire. What do you think is the cause of my subtle body being in a full-blown sexual mood at this time?

My reply was this:

Indications of the physical body do not necessarily represent the condition of the subtle form. Sex desire has nothing to do with its display, or the lack of it. It has to do with the sex desire energy-condition, as to if it is dormant, suppressed, neutralized or expressed. In your past live, because of the social environment and due to your status in the society, your physical form was relatively lust-less but the subtle body complied with that superficially by holding your sexual energy in suspension. Anything which is suspended will have to be released sooner or later and when it does so, it is likely that as people say, “All hell will break lose.”

One who mistakes physical celibacy for full celibacy will be disappointed later when the physical system is absent and one is overwhelmed by the subtle condition.

In the subtle body, the yogi should work astutely to make sure that the neutral energy in the system is used before that energy is polarized by the reproductive organs. Once it is polarized, the celibate effort is a stop gap measure only. Use up the neutral energy in the system before it is polarized by any of the glands in the body such as the reproductive apparatus.

There is however a discouragement energy which may arise when doing this. It comes from the system because the natural way is to use the reproductive energy to manufacture sexual pleasure energy. The neutral bliss aspect which comes from neutral energy does not have the polarized pleasure feeling. Thus the system might become reluctant to use the neutral energy but a yogi can train his psyche to appreciate the neutral force.

The run for celibacy is mandatory but the yogi must be on the lookout for reality, such that if he falters, he should not be surprised but should simply rise to the occasion, get up again, dust off and keep up the fight.

Ultimately the research into self-gender is the key. What is the core-self’s gender?

In which domain may it adopt that as its lifestyle without having to play sexual roles which are inconsistent with the self’s gender design?
