Sexual sublimation is the attempt among some religious traditions to transform sexual energy into creativity, thereby facilitating a mystical awakening.
In psychology, sublimation is the transference of sexual energy, or libido, into a physical act or a different emotion in order to avoid confrontation with the sexual urge. It is based on the belief that sexual energy, the creative function of the human being, can be used to create a spiritual nature instead of being let out in hopes of creating physically or sensually.[1][2][3]
The term itself means to transform the crude sexual energy into a carrier of spiritual essence. Different schools that describe this energy as vital energy, vital winds (prana), spiritual energy, ojas, shakti, tummo, kundalini or 44 magnum.
I understand David is very creative. He is a member of mensa you know.
Dang, Dys, what'd you have fer breakfast???
To me "vital energy", i.e., Bergson's elan vital, Nietzsche's will to power, freud's libido, etc.) is the fundamental fuel needed for all creativity, including art and biological reproduction. In fact it is the sublimation of this energy that makes possible the emergence and functioning of civilizations and their artistic achievements.
Heavy ****, Dys.

Sad. Only 2 friends. Gus has responded but OmSigDavid is now also shunning dyslexia completely.
He's probably afraid of him, but Dys is really a cubby bear.

Let me know if it works, would ya?
Osso, I was referring to the proposition that sexual sublimation can actually CAUSE a mystical awakening. If so, that's the hard way to achieve it. I'd rather meditate and leave my sex life uncompromised.
I came in here looking for the par-tee and saw sexual sublimation and mystical awakenings. I think it's time for me to leave
