I take issue with part of what Tamahu has discussed, because those teachings have a Roman Catholic type taboo on sexual orgasm.
This is not true at all.
The Roman Catholic Church is basically against Sex period, which is a crime against The Holy Spirit(Sex); a crime against The Third Logos of The
Superior Trinity of The Tree of Life.
They teach that The Holy Spirit is some spooky ghost who chooses to visit some and avoids others. They forbid their Priests to marry. This is part
of why their Church is so screwed up.
Sex and Chastity are good things as far as Gnosis is concerned. It is fornication that is frowned upon.
One can have Sex and still remain Chaste, by practicing Sexual-Magic with their Spouse and by avoiding the orgasm. This is authentic Alchemy. This is
taught in Tantric Buddhism, Taoist Alchemy and any other authentic tradition that teaches Gnosis.
Never have I slept without a sweetheart
Nor have I spent a single drop of sperm. - The Sixth Dalai Lama
Those fornicators who spill the semen could never hope to have the gift of The Holy Spirit, no matter how much they believe.
Spilling the Sexual Energy makes our Pineal Gland degenerate, which cuts off direct communication from The Divine. This energy has to be
transmuted(through Pranayama and/or Sex) so that our atrophied glands become revitalized.
I have issue with you, because the ones who's teachings you follow have their words cloaked in double meaning, where the ego being the biggest
risk ACTUALLY means only the leaders are to become immensely powerful by having their egos fed constantly, leaving anyone without an equal ego
powerless to stand against them.
I don't know if you're referring to me, but any authentic spiritual teacher knows that ego is the main thing that keeps one from being
enlightened.
This is taught in Buddhism, Shetaut Neter, Vedanta, etc.
Of course there
are false Gurus who seek to have their egos fed.
This is where the student should Meditate on what they're being taught to see if it is actually helping them or not.
One should ask themself: Am I being charged all kinds of money? Am I still full of vices? Am I getting more established in Calm Abiding, or am I just
as agitated as ever? Am I awaking Consciousness? Etc. Etc. Etc.
