It is a matter of learning from sin. Sin has always existed. God has been teaching beings about right and wrong throughout history. Those who sin the least, are most glorified; those that sin the greatest, are the most condemned. But there is Hope for the greatest sinners!!! That is, through prayer, faith, service, and virtuousness, the greatest sinner can make a reversal and follow the path that God has created for he or she, and experience part of God's Infinite Glory!!!

God's Infinite Greatness cannot be revealed unless two things occur: 1) God has created other Life subject to Him, 2) and that sin occurs among the other Life so that God Infinitely retains His Sovereign Love and Power. God controls all and human will, but this is for the Greater Good, as God, who is Infinitely Sinless, can be Loved, Praised, and Honored to the Maximum Extent. If humans did not accept their lives as sinners in need of correction, only God would exist!!!

Nice quotes BlackGuardXIII
About your quote regarding: "Everything is there within You"
But who are "We"?
The best way to start, it is taught, is through pranayama and other means to transmute the sexual energy(stop fornicating), and to learn how to meditate.

I must admit that I can understand that there would be a lot of sexual energy available, and have pondered abstinence....
But.... my fiance and I... we really enjoy it.
What is the downside to not stopping?
Cuz I find it hard to even cut down a little, and I have tried.

I appreciate how much depth you have gone into in order to answer my question. There is a lot to my fiance and my story, but in summary I would say that we share a rare relationship. Our love is not near perfect, but I think we both are trying our best. The information which you have shared here is very reassuring for me. Thank you.
The Gnostic Home
The homes of Gnostic Initiates must have a background of happiness, music and ineffable kisses. Dance, love and the joy of loving strengthen the embryo of the Soul that children have within. Thus, this is how Gnostic homes are a true paradise of love and wisdom.
Liquor and Fornication must be banished from the bosom of Gnostic homes. However, we must not be fanatics. Whosoever is incapable of handling one drink at a social gathering is as weak as someone who cannot control his liquor and gets drunk.
Fornication is something entirely different. Fornication is unforgivable.
Whosoever ejaculates the seminal liquor is a fornicator. Thus, for those who reach orgasm, for fornicators, the Abyss and Second Death await...
To Spill Or Not To Spill In Order To Have Children, ...that is the REALLY BIG Question!
During the sexual act they experience the joy of being complete.
Those who do not spill the semen preserve this joy eternally.
In order to create a child it is not necessary to spill the semen.
The spermatozoon that escapes without spilling the semen is a selected spermatozoon, a superior kind of spermatozoon, a totally mature spermatozoon. The result of such a fertilization is truly a new creature of an extremely high order. This is how we can form a race of Super-Men.
It is not necessary to spill the semen in order to engender a child. Imbeciles like to spill the semen. Gnostics are not imbeciles.
When a couple is united sexually, clairvoyants often see a very bright light enveloping the couple. Precisely in that instant the creative forces of Nature serve as a medium for a new being.
