Celibacy


People in our civilization readily accept those forms of spiritual education that approve of sexual relations, and that suggest that through the sexual act one can reach the ultimate goal.

However, what we experience as living beings (e.g. pleasure, blissfulness, joy, peace, depression or bad moods), depends only on where our energy is situated, that is, which chakra it is in.

While a person is overwhelmed by sexual thoughts and feelings, he/she has his/her perceptions and the basic intuition of the senses blocked. Consequently he/she can hardly discern what is good for him/her, and what isn't.

It is not enough to leave sex and sexuality to your thoughts and emotions, it is necessary to abandon the way of egoistic attraction entirely. When you feel an egoistic attraction to a person of the opposite sex, your energy mainly sinks into the lower chakras, and you don't even feel it descending.

Egoistic attractions are continuously present in people’s everyday lives. They exist in any contact between the opposite sexes. For example, when my son goes for an examination, he prefers to be interviewed by a female professor. Attraction can be manifested everywhere, for instance in a shop, if you are served by a good-looking shop assistant.

It is the same for women; they will always have a greater desire to buy from a handsome man. A man will never voluntarily approach a woman and ask her something or begin a conversation with her if he doesn't like her; he will prefer to bypass her. It is the same with women. The whole of 21st-century civilization spins around the notion of sexual attraction.



Most people usually like a person at first sight who looks good and is physically attractive. The situations where a person doesn't get attracted by outward appearance, but by something else, are rare, though possible.

Sexuality can be expressed in subtle ways. One such way is when people want to be seen in order to be liked by someone. Every occasion when people make themselves pretty represents a specific instance of expressing their sexuality and the need to be liked by someone, and this all basically comes from the need for the continuation of the species. One particular aspect of sexuality is expressed by some people in their enjoyment of dangerous situations.

The selfish attractions that we feel during the day are based in the first chakra, and they often lead us into bondage and suffering.

It is like a cask full of water: when we open its lower faucet and let the water run out, the pressure and the quantity of water always decreases.

In this way, every time a person has sexual intercourse, energy drips out, and there is automatically less energy in the upper chakras; awareness drops and it becomes impossible to remain in the natural state of consciousness.


Imagine that you are very, very thirsty and that you drink a lot of water. Then you don't feel at all thirsty any more, but feel a silent pleasure to have drunk. The thirst vanishes as if it had never been there.

People live with their sexuality for all of their lives. People can meditate for decades, and can even be supposed saints, without ever leaving the level of the first chakra. When you leave that level, it will be similar to the case of thirst. Sex, and the need for sexuality, will vanish as if it had never existed. When you leave the first chakra, the powerful need for sex doesn’t exist any more, and neither does attraction to the opposite sex, at least in the way that existed up to that moment.

Celibacy makes sense only if your energies are in the upper chakras, or if you can meditate and try to lift your energy to the upper chakras.

In addition to avoiding sexual contact and being careful about your thoughts, you should avoid all those things that cause the lowering of your energy to the first chakras, and these are: heavy food, alcoholic drinks, staying in places where sexuality is encouraged, watching movies and reading newspapers.

If you don't avoid these things, your energy will go down lower and you will experience moods linked to the first chakra like restlessness, jealousy, aggression, depression and discontent.

I often used to meet people who couldn't give up chocolate, alcohol, smoking, drugs and similar such things. However, when they saw, through their spiritual work, that their addiction lowered their awareness and damaged their health considerably, they gave these things up much more easily. There are some spiritual directions that recommend that people eat whatever food they like, as long as they continue to want it.
However, it isn't like that with sex. As you have sexual intercourse more and more often, the need to have it doesn’t pass, but gets stronger and stronger. It is possible to completely abandon sex only when your consciousness rises and when your energy is in the upper chakras. Don't make the mistakes made by many of my practitioners.

The majority of them used to say: “I will abandon sex when my desire becomes a little bit less.” The desire for sex will lessen for only a short time after sexual intercourse, and then it will grow even more powerful by the following day.

As long as you think about sexuality your energy will be in the first chakra, and you won't be able to abandon sex. It is easy for people with an elevated consciousness to abandon sex, but for everyone else who lives in this civilization, it has to be an act of will.

Luckily, the majority of the people on this planet experience love, but, by staying in the lower chakras they ruin that love. If you love somebody and you are in the lower chakras, a moment will come when you will begin to feel repulsed by your partner.

I don't recommend that you abandon sex and sexuality completely if you continue to live and work among people.

In my opinion, sex destroys love.
