Sex and a Yogi at his place of employment

My celibacy practice has been successful for the last 8 to 10 months physically. And since then, I have become conscious from time to time in the astral of sexual encounters as they happen.  However, I work in a business where I am in constant contact with people on a daily basis and often times interacting with very attractive women.  Before I began doing my pranayama practice seriously and reading your "sex you" book, I was ignorant to how the sexual energies were affecting me astrally even though I have not touched these women physically. Although, I am still a neophyte with recognizing what is happening astrally, I am more sensitive when the sexual energies are affecting me especially after I have done my pranayama practice for the day.  When I have these social interactions with these females and feel those energies enter my psyche, I now understand that I must deal with them on the astral level instead of chasing those women down to deal with them physically. So when I get the opportunity, I sit to meditate and mentally meet that sexual energy left by that particular female so it can play itself out on the astral plane. Although, I am sitting in mental darkness, I can faintly see the images of the sexual encounter and various sexual positions being played out between us in the buddhi organ. Some encounters are obviously more intense than others and some connection feels stronger and last longer as they have caused sexual arousal.

So my questions are: What is happening, when does energies meet? Is the buddhi translating visually what is going on when those energies meet at that time?  Or is the buddhi replaying what happened astrally during the initial encounter? And what makes the connections more intense and last longer than other encounters?

First of all, just to recognize that there is a subtle interplay socially with persons with whom you have deliberate or casual flirtation, is itself a great stage of advancement and a rapid increase in psychic perception. It shows great sensitivity in this regard. By that alone, half the battle is won.

However some warriors, who won half the battle, went on and were killed in the end. Therefore be on your guard.

=============================

The buddhi analytical orb, translates, mixes and even distorts what happens on the psychic plane and it does this in conjunction with the kundalini which is after gratification and which intends to break down morality so that it can get happiness from sensual indulgence.

Many types of sensual indulgence are censored in human society and therefore if the kundalini needs these forbidden pleasures, it will get this on the psychic side where it can evade human morality.

The only way to stop this is to change the habits of kundalini by changing its energy intake. It acts a certain way, expresses a certain behavior and desires a certain sensual satisfaction because of the energy it consumes.

So long as you are exposed in an environment you have to deal with the activated and newly created effects-energy (karma) which arises. There is no escape from this. You can do yoga but still if you are exposed this will happen. By the way in case you never heard it, yoga ideally should be done in isolation. There is not a single yoga standard book from India which says that yoga should be done in a city or that it should be done in a group. I have never seen such a statement. There is advice about sadhu sanga which means doing it in the association with people who live at an ashram under the care of a guru. That is under supervision of a yoga guru where you are not allowed to do your own thing, hunting down women here and there.

In fact originally yoga ashrams had strict sexual segregation and there were only a handful of females, mostly the relatives of the yoga guru.

The point is that if you have to be in a sexually charged environment to make a livelihood then you must take what that environment dishes out. If you are in an environment where people are into sexually suggestive clothing and where they are flirting left and right, then the hazards of that must be tolerated and you must set your mind to get away from that as soon as providence permits you to.

There is no easy way to escape from this. If I did this, it would affect me even though I am somewhat expert in meditation. Sometimes when I am in a developed country and I go to a mall for one reason or the other, then I am asking myself, “Why are you here, you crazy yogi? What will you do with this exposure? Is this what you are aiming for in yoga practice? Do you feel that you can be in the world and not be of it, you mad man?”

There is no way to be in that sort of environment and to seriously conclude yoga practice. That is not going to happen. What you can do however is to continue the practice amidst those hazards and pray like hell for the day when you can be free of the requirement to have to be there to make a livelihood.
