The main thing to understand about sexual energy is that it is a strong drive … it unleashes powerful creative energy. It’s not evil -- it's a good thing, a wonderful thing, an incredible thing!
When it's controlled.
When it’s not controlled, it can be a terrible thing. It can wreck your life, destroy your relationships, sap your strength, and
sabotage your success in career and service to God.
Here's a powerful truth that men in previous generations knew, and talked about frequently ... but is sometimes lost today:
By refraining from overindulgence or practicing outright abstinence, you can USE this creative energy -- which wells up and has previously been used towards sexual ends -- to maximize your potential in every area of your life.
You can generate success in your professional life, work on your fitness, and/or build deep, loving, long-lasting personal relationships. You can grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Sexual energy is analogous to crude oil in that it is valuable, powerful, and an important resource — but to maximize its power, you have to refine
it. Only then can you use its power to fuel productive and constructive creation in your life.
In the video overview of this topic in our Boot Camp, I made the point that, while there are many books, articles, and videos out there that deal with this topic, there are not many that I recommend for participants in this program. If you’re interested in pursuing this topic, the one book I most recommend is “Sexual
Energy Transmutation: The Secret Path to Health, Wealth and Genius,” by Jay Onwukwe.
In the book he says this:
“Whenever a man is enthralled by a woman, and he wants her, a certain state of mind activates in that man. That state of mind is very potent; as it draws out the very best of the man’s attributes of keen observation, imagination, courage, tact, persistence and creativity, into a coordinated plan to capture and possess that very object of his desire, the woman, even if
for a fleeting moment. An intense desire activates mental activity towards its actualization.
“So strong and compelling is the drive for sexual contact that men risk their prestige, reputation, relationship, business, and even life, just
to indulge in it. When driven by this motive, the mind of a man invokes a super-ability for extraordinary action. This same state of mind can equally be used to achieve any other goal upon which it is directed – including wealth creation and accumulation.
“It is therefore imperative that this natural but tumultuous sex drive must not only be understood, it must also be controlled, reined-in, and given balanced and dignified expression through outlets that enrich and uplift the total Man.”
In this program, our focus is not on trying to get you to deny or repress your sex drive. That doesn’t work over the long term. Our focus is rather on helping you to understand and appreciate this drive, and learn to focus it — or “re-channel” it — onto other pursuits.
