years to research. What is it in the Buddhist culture of asceticis m
that allows its adherents to practice sexual abstinence? When a
man's emotion leads him to orgas mic pleasure, he can't resist that
impulse unless he has special awareness s ensitivity consciousness.
The energy buildup resultant fro m excite ment due to burst fort h
can be sublimated, using the technique of Yoga Nidra (for
exa mple), to impell the powers of the id into a realm of bliss ful
subconscious imagining. One reaches the state of nirvana that goes
beyond knowledge : good memories, pictorial scenes, comforts o f
nature, and similarly, productive creativity. The reward is a
perhaps delayed, but consistent experience of trance -like cal m
with trust in oneself and joy in having a height of self-estee m arise
to one's consciousness.
It's about 8 years since I wrote the thoughts coming under , this
my editorial review during Succohs, 5778. I have co me to see
myself for what I see and not all the time what people think I
should be, based of course, on lost alone loneliness wandering
freely upon my awareness sensitivity consciousness. This is how I
see what I saw. The hyper -tactile sensitivity lurking under the
cloak of Funny Rabbi; I AM, denigrated to the role of Haman,
imagining the pleasure I could score in the pursuit of sexua l
exploits. Shall I not address my banal lusts such that old men are
characteristically portrayed as licentious? That on which the
Freudian theorist might call the deep unconscious, "lust for life /
death wish" libidinal instincts. They break down into a
neurological process, fragrance from che mical particles in our
environment drain us as electro magnetic currents intensify or
abate.
Emotional stimuli may be little more than associations to
physiological experiences, memory cells that may be stimulated as
if a historical mapping of feelings in the mo ment of pleasure or
pain when they were experienced, and subsequent retrieval fro m
me mory. People have relegated the appearance of a fe male's
nakedness to simulate the mo ments when engaged in sexua l
encounter, such that the slightest inference can bring about a
Pavlovian elicitation. That's the obvious factor leading to a
profitable porn market, and the only thing that can be done about
it is to elevate the consciousness of humankind that men see the
woman for a being disposed as she is to ensure fulfillment to the
soul imbued within her.
