Energy, Life, Procreation - The Metaphysics of Brahmachariya

Energy, Life, Procreation - The Metaphysics of Brahmachariya


The connection formed between a man and a woman during intercourse makes a psychic, astral, umbilical cord-like tube in the lower astral plane world which lasts for twelve years or more. Providing no other connection with the same or other individual occurred in the meantime, the tube would slowly wear away during the ensuing years.

This is provided that, at the same time, sadhana or tapas is performed and regular pilgrimages and visits to Saivite temples are made.


Brahmachariya sadhana begins once a vrata is taken by the virgin boy or girl. For others, brahmachariya sadhana begins after the last sexual encounter with a member of the opposite sex has occurred and when a conscious decision is made to begin the practice of brahmachariya.


All the energy of the body becomes directed in the channel of sex when the consciousness is coupled or coordinated with the will to release or dissipate this energy. The mental processes then become slow and sluggish, as does the body, if carried to excess. A remedy to this is the reverse. The mind will then become awakened, and the body will begin to glow.

ASTRAL MAGNETISM AND TEMPTATION


While in the process of brahmachariya, those who have had sexual encounters with one or more members of the opposite sex experience times of trial. Great temptation may occur on the physical plane as the astral matter of the animal nerve system and systems of fluids and odors that attract the opposite sex store up in great abundance.


This causes a magnetism which attracts those of the opposite sex. Especially attracted will be those of a similar nature and deportment as those of past encounters.


REVIEW


1. Intercourse between a man and woman creates a psychic connecting tube in the astral world which lasts for twelve years.


2. The requisites for formal brahmachariya practice are the start of celibacy, knowledge of brahmachariya, and the performance of sadhana.


3. Those beginning brahmachariya may experience strong temptation because of magnetism and past habit patterns.
