What an easy life Masters would have in this sexually permissive
society if spiritual awakening had no relationship with sex activity! But, most all
seekers of higher consciousness today readily concur that sex activity requires the use of
considerable life force.
Generally, Masters and devotees throughout the ages have not considered sex evil or
vile. "Sex is holy, it’s from God," they affirm. In the past, roughly half
the world’s prominent enlightened men and women were married; and half were celibate.
Yet, most of these agreed that a devotee’s sexual moderation is not only vital, but
also very valuable.
Achievers of higher consciousness do much more than think about superconsciousness now
and then while in pleasant moods. They direct their life force, their energy, toward their
ideal.
If you seek to direct your precious life force toward higher consciousness — and
it takes a great deal of energy — you have to be, of necessity, sexually moderate in
order to achieve higher consciousness and God-realization. Without moderation it’s
unlikely your nerves will become subtle enough to maintain the awakening energy. Instead,
your nerves will feel like they are burning up when your spiritual energy is awakened.
