8 "... Freely you received, freely give”.

            - Matthew 10:8 :: New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,

7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.                                                                  

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.

9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.”

            - 2 Timothy 3:1-9  :: New International Version (NIV)

 

6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

            - Hebrews 5:6 :: King James Version (KJV)

 

3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

          - Isaiah 56:3 :: King James Version (KJV)

 

21 But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.

            - Matthew 17:21 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Diary Notes

 

completely concentrating on a very set practice and becoming a pressure cooker in which all the energies and all the steam is building up and not leaking out, so that things can get cooked quite quickly.

- Lesley Marian Neilson. Tenzin Palmo and the Building of a Buddhist Nunnery. Ascent.

 

“Oh, he started to note down his personal emission details. So you also start writing down. Follow him”

Well, we are not just writing down for fun. Say, you are a celibate and under vow (as given above, Laws of a Celibate). So there is no question of sex or masturbation. Only emission, in sleep, if at all. So in one month, let’s say, we have 5 emission. Next month, 8. The next month, 10. We are just tired with the outcome, as the results below show. We make a firm resolve to catch the culprit. So keep vigil. To be aware. Those mental defilements, mental impurities just have to be nullified. The Devil have to be subdued. We just don’t want the leak, the leaving of the pre-cum from the body unnecessarily, for it is dirty, as per Leviticus 15. We have to control the leak. We use Statistical Process Control.

We watch our movements. Keep our daily journal. Note down our emission with care. Find mistakes, faults which we rectify. Thus, what used to be 5, 8, 10 in successive months, gets reduced slowly, until we reach the state of NO EMISSION. No wastage. Praise the Lord! Praise the Buddha!

The assumption, you never keep a girl-friend, or a woman. You just can’t have the opposites, at the same time. Having a girl friend and being a celibate doesn’t go together.

“We will not have any relationship. We just want to live together and I want to be a celibate”.

Well, we are involved in mental control. Any thought of the opposite sex could cause emission in deep sleep, even if you have decided not to have sex. A strong likelihood or possibility of thwarting the test results. So you can have only one thing at a time. Either you become a complete celibate or be a “married” man and thus enjoy the separate worlds completely instead of partially. In the celibate world, you might enjoy “Nikkamma sugha”. In the married world, you might enjoy “sexual pleasures”.

Written around 01:30 pm Tuesday, October 22, 2002

 

Nikkamma sugha” Can you explain more?

Imagine an old type of wall clock with a long pendulum. When the clock is not running, the pendulum stands vertical, stands still. On proper winding, the pendulum swings to and fro. A maximum distance one side and the same other side.

If you accept sexual pleasures as giving a certain level of happiness, then consider it as a state of the pendulum at one extreme.

Then the same happiness must be possible if the pendulum moves to the opposite side, where there is absolutely no sex.

That state is “Nikhamma sugha”. Alternate terms are bliss, ecstasy etc, though the English terms can’t properly express that state of “spiritual beatitude”.

Spirituality records many a celibate having achieved that condition. Eg. Jesus Christ.

To daily ensure that the pre-cum/cum never leaves the body. In short, to be a celibate. Does it matter,

1. which religion you are?

No. You can be a Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain or any other religious practitioner.

You can even be an atheist, a non-believer.

Or according to Reference: Venerable Pannyavaro. E-Learning Buddhism on the Internet. BuddhaZine magazine.

 

…the view that one's life can or should be carried out without a religious element

 

then

Just try to ensure the condition of retaining the pre-cum/cum within the body. Check and see the result.

2. Does it matter what color you are?

No. You can be white, black, brown or whatever. Any human being.

3. How simple! No emission. Is that all?

Well, undergo the test over a short period, say, 41 days. A longer period of many years, say 12 years as the learned Brahmins advice. And then ask yourself, was it simple?

The analogy will be something like being in a ship laden with cargo or goods on the verge of sinking. A sinking ship.

To save the ship from sinking, a stage will reach where you will have to throw away the cargo one by one onto the sea, voluntarily.

The ship is your personal life. The cargo, your normal day-to-day activities, which you end up abandoning one by one.

Just to ensure that simple thing of retaining pre-cum/cum within the body, you will end up fighting against food, sleep, women, money and fame. The five major evils. A whole new world opens up. A different way of life, far different from what any normal man live in any society. What was thought to be simple, becomes a challenge, a never ending battle. A battle in the name of the Lord, for on the course of battle, you will come across entities which are external to you, but have a heavy influence on your way of life. Such external entities are controlled by the Lord, like puppets. If you started off as an atheist, slowly you will come around as a very religious and devoted person in the service of the Lord.

What you were before will not be what you are now, nor what you will be in the future. The old “you” died, and a new person rises from the “ashes”. Such will be the state of the one who pursues the “simple thing” of retaining pre-cum/cum within the body.

Sinking ship? You joking? I lead a normal life, just like everyone, my neighbors etc. I work, watch TV etc. Happy. How can my life be a sinking ship?

You separate yourself from many of the normal day-to-day activities. Behaviors like watching TV, enjoying music, sleeping in posh bed etc are abandoned one-by-one. The sole objective being to retain the pre-cum/cum within yourself. Any behaviour which you find gives negative result is abandoned. When you slowly change yourself or evolve in that way and you look at how other’s live, you will be looking in an entirely different manner. The way they live, the way you yourself lived before was in fact a way of leakage, the leaking of the vital liquid, like a battleship with a leaking hole underneath. Slowly the battleship sinking into the ocean without the knowledge of the captain! So know thyself, Lanoo!

Who is a lanoo?

You. A spiritual trainee. A theosophical term.

The fact is that people only cheat when they have an incentive to do so and when the chances of being found out are low.

That is a sample day-to-day statistics. It only gives the small picture. We need the big picture also. Without the big picture, there is a possibility of slackness. “Oh, just an emission only. No problem”. If you are in the business of making a million dollars, saving of even 5 cents matters towards that million. If you have the attitude of slackness, “Oh, just 5 cents”, then the million dollar goal will be far, far away. So too the concept of Brahmacharya.  If the target is 12 years or eighty years in the long term, and you have an emission any time during that period, you just have to start counting the days from the very beginning AGAIN.

The week-to-week statistics as well as the month-to-month statistics gives the big picture. The trend for controlling can be easily identified from the charts prepared from the weekly emission analysis.

Though we start off with the emission analysis for controlling purposes, controlling the leakage, the state to be achieved is where you don’t have any data at all. Zero emission. Day and night.

Once the weeks are battled and subdued, you go over to the months.

Once the months are battled and subdued, you go over to the years.

To battle the months, to go over the years, to retain the years, hardcore fasting without food and drink becomes an absolute requirement. Once the food and drink are withdrawn, sleep also withdraws voluntarily, by itself. A new target opens up: The 41-day fast without food and drink as practised by the Christ.

What is suspect emission?

In log book you consider suspect emission as emission occurred, for statistical purposes. But emission did not actually “occur”.

What do I mean?

How do you normally detect emission?

The pre-cum – is its traces in the underclothes?

A visually recognizable one, if you have an emission in deep sleep; when you check your underclothes before you pass the early morning urine at the toilet.

You can also feel with the sense of touch. Gently feel your organ and the thighs with your hand. Do you come across anything sticky on the organ or nearby thigh skin? Cum and pre-cum are sticky in nature, but hardens with time.

Now we consider the rare case.

An erection of the little one occurs in sleep.

You control your breath to prevent the out-flowing of the pre-cum. You stop it’s coming out and hence its traces will be absent in the underclothes.

BUT what happened to the pre-cum which was supposed to come out?

Refer the male reproductive organ diagram given in Lord Energy section and the write-up in chapter 7.

 

The prostrate gland and the Cowper’s gland produce the clear liquid prior to ejaculation of the sperms. This clear liquid

  • acts as a lubricant for the movement of the male organ in the event of magnetism
  • provides the ideal environment for the sperms to survive. The sperms can survive only in a specific temperature range

Now, the way from both glands flow downward. So it is easy to generate the clear liquid, whereas for the sperms to come down is not that easy. Why?

From the Testes, the way goes upward to the Seminal Vesicles. So to bring out the sperms, one need to push or rotate or move the lower part of the body violently/forcibly ("having made the whole body shake, it is released and descends into the urinary tract.")

So in the event of involuntary emission, don’t move the body. Minimize the damage, being induced by the forces of Evil, only to the emission of the clear liquid. Don’t go to the next stage. Don’t pursue the wet dream or thought. Leave it alone. It will die off by itself.

 

The pre-cum left the organ of production, but hasn’t come out by emission. For you held the process through breath control. The liquid is staying in the way, for it cannot go back to its production area.

Watch the urine after you get up early in the morning.

You are not smelling the urine.

You are watching for the traces of pre-cum which, if present in the tube mixes with the urine and comes out.

If pre-cum mixes with urine, then the urine will be “bubbly” with air bubbles and a bit “oily”, than compared to a clear water like liquid of the normal urine (light yellow or clear in color for normal urine). If the make of the closet is of the European type (the high bowl one)instead of the standard Indian type of closet, (the low flat one), where the residue water is held in, the bubbles in the urine can easily be discerned.

Also watch

  • your temperaments in the morning time
  • see if you have persistent sneeze
    1. Persistent sneeze is not a foolproof indicator. Depends on the circumstances. If the body gets tired by other means instead of emission or masturbation, (also sex in the case of married men) then also there will be persistent sneeze. For example: excessive exercise, or over-exercise of the body. Excessive manual work. Lack of sleep due to studying, sitting through the night watching movies etc.
  • do you feel tired and anger
  • do you make small mistakes in your daily routine actions like forgetting etc

All these allow one to infer whether one had a suspect emission or not.

The relative amount in such cases will be hard to discern whether low or high for the liquid you controlled inside and also it got mixed with the urine. (Refer the diagram for the urinary bladder. Urine also passes down through the same way)

Even in suspect case also, you still consider yourself as wounded and get even only on the eight day.

Depending on your environment, you may or may not wash and clean your clothes, for they are NOT soiled or dirtied with pre-cum.

“Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at last. “Thou art eternal, and not merely of the vanishing flesh. The soul in man cannot be killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped, in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!
