  • How to control lust? Please suggest

    I started another thread the other day regarding monks, nuns and masturbation and the vibe I got is that it is ok in a lot of schools for them to do it.
    The individual must do as Shakyamuni suggested and investigate things for themselves.

    That is the most important thing. When it comes to this topic I have sought out information from EVERY source I could find.

    I was searching for an answer that I could not find anywhere.

    And as cliche as it sounds, as I type this now I realize that the answer is within.

    It isn't an answer like, "43". It is simply listening, following your conscience.

    We are our own best guides.

    I have been doing this for a little while now but I only just actually started thinking about how I really was searching for some end all be all answer to solve my sexual "equation" and that I have been listening to that guide.

    Not long ago the guide was screaming loudly as I was involved in sexual misconduct, "You stupid *$&#**#!!"

    Ok, well the guide was a bit less profane than that, actually the guide is very polite and gentle it is just when I go waaaaaaaay off track that it doesn't feel so good because I am so far out of line with what is right.

    Having been to hell I realize there is good reason to avoid going back.

    I have these frequent flyer miles though and I don't want to waste them..

    talk about stuck between hell and a nice space.

    I'm going to hell.

    Don't eat two hours before bed. Fatty foods also create build up. Garlic and onions among other things can increase lust.

    There are numerous things that can lead to nocturnal emissions.

    Whenever I have it is usually after having been abstinent from all sexual activity for 18 days.. my dam has broken there a couple times before. Always though it seems that there were some titilating images running through my mind that helped set the causes and conditions for such a dream to happen.

    I practice abstinence in spurts, no pun intended but now that I see the punniness of it I intend to intend that I intended that pun. Not trying to poke pun at you or anything but humor is a beneficial ingredient traversing the spiritual path.

    I don't care too much for excessive release of seminal fluids. If I were in a commited relationship it would be another story but since I am not I try to practice discipline.

  • Has anyone done A Course In Miracles?

    Nope but my counselor told me about it, her dad does classes or meetings of it.

    I met some people that were part of the group in the lobby one day and they were a really lively bunch, very nice. I laughed a lot.

    One guy said, "I got a new pet." A couple of the women were like, "Get out of here, no you didn't."

    He said, "Yeah, I did, I got a pet tick...

    and of course, I had to get a dog to feed it."

    :lol:
