In the responses Jerry and I made to Hillary's poll, we both noted that in
our experience with k awakening, celibacy was not a choice, but a
surprising outcome. In my experience, as I noted, sexual energy/desire
disappeared for some time with the onset of k. After 7 years of k
activity, I find the sex energy is still for the most part transmuted. The
experience was very much like what Gopal described in the post you were
responding to--sublimation of the vital energy seemed to feed and be
necessary to k and the growing transcendent conciousness.

))))))))))))))))))) Just wanted to say that l fully agree with what Jill has
said and to add to it a few thoughts. As Jill has said, celibacy has not
been a choice, and it is hard to imagine how difficult it can be to
experience this over a long period of time if one hasn't gone thru it. l
also have had 7 yrs of k activity in which sex remains completely transmuted,
with no end in sight. Gopal's post presented the classical yoga approach to
the way in which k uses the sexual function in order to come to fruition. l
can understand how this can be questioned by those whose experience does not
seem to be in accord with it, but there are also people like us whose
experience appears to fit it perfectly. This indicates to me that there have
been probably thousands like us throughout history, and it strongly suggests
that the classical approach is not so easily dismissed, altho l might feel
differently down the road. Which leaves me confused, as l often am,
about k. jerry
