Subject: [K-list] min-poll celibacy
From: Druout

Dear List,

Thanks to all who responded so far. 14 people have answered the poll
questions, and a number of others have contributed with wonderful comments.
:)) I find it rather surprising that so few--at least so far-- say that
celibacy was a trigger to their K awakening. Here are my responses to these
questions.

<<1. How many of us feel that our K awakening had anything to do with
celibacy. (celibacy being defined as having no sexual partner for an
extended length of time)>>

Due to my husband's illness, I was celibate for about a decade before K
awakening. I suspect, though that other things such as Hatha Yoga were more
important factors.

<<2. How many of us became intentionally celibate after K awakening.>>

No

3. For those who are sexually active, do you find that sexual activity
affects your K energy one way or another?

I agree with those who find that sexual activity can both calm K activity
down (take the pressure off) and can also expand K activity--adding to the
intensity. I haven't found any pattern that can explain why it's one way or
another. Frequently it expands K when I'd like it to calm it down. Also
since K, I find that regular orgasms can be either localized or explode in
the entire body and brain.

<<Any other thoughts on the subject?>>

Just thought I'd add to the discussion with a provocative quote from Glenn
Morris' *Path Notes of an American Ninja Master*

"Those who advocate celibacy don't understand their own sexuality as part of
the godhead. Celibacy can be seen as a sign of immaturity and a certain
indicator that your teacher has missed the point, as enlightenment is powered
by controlling sexual energy. ..."

I don't agree with the immaturity part, as I see this choice as being very
individual, personal matter.

I'll finish tallying in the next couple of days!

Any more lurkers out there? I'd especially like to hear from those who are
purposely celibate.

Love, Hillary
