Tantra and other exceptional mystic paths experiment with&nbsp;the area of Transpersonal Sexuality.<BR><BR>Without an introduction, adequate training,&nbsp;esoteric knowledge of&nbsp;sexual fusion, nor the benefit of&nbsp;specific initiations,&nbsp;man&nbsp;usually identifies himself with the basic &#8220;need&#8221; to ejaculate when making love. We speak here about&nbsp;basic instincts,&nbsp;that is the animal instincts latent within&nbsp;man, without any psychological deviation. Both&nbsp;men and&nbsp;women can interrupt and overcome these physiological processes of&nbsp;animal instinct. This is achieved through&nbsp;spiritual awareness,&nbsp;using imagination and thought&nbsp;which allow resonance with the sublime energies of the universe, which can then&nbsp;direct man&#8221;s actions.<br \/>\n<BR>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe&nbsp;greatest difficulty at the beginning is how to approach and&nbsp;comprehend the apparent contradiction: the impulse and&nbsp;the intention. It is&nbsp;perhaps the question of:&nbsp; \u201cHow can my body want and not want something at the same time?\u201d<BR><BR>In&nbsp;the example of&nbsp;man: the intense desire to ejaculate (the impulse) appears,&nbsp;but something stops it so as to maintain and extend the&nbsp;proper course for&nbsp;sexual continence&nbsp;(the intention). On one hand,&nbsp;the wish to block ejaculation can actually weaken the goal of increasing the depth and degree of sensual pleasure. On the other hand the instinctive animal desire to&nbsp;ejaculate would cause great loss of physical and seminal energy. Thus we are facing a dilemma. How can this&nbsp;be resolved?<BR><BR>Tantra and&nbsp;Taoism propose&nbsp;an exceptional method for achieving this sexual continence (brahmacharya). Through sexual continence (seminal retention), the tension between the impulse to&nbsp;ejaculate and the intention to retain semen disappear. This is through&nbsp;an alchemic process where the initiated lovers become aware; the&nbsp;contradicting desires are replaced with the&nbsp;aspiration to maintain&nbsp;sexual congress and the sense of&nbsp;unification granted&nbsp;by this love fusion practiced with transfiguration. The alchemic transformation of the material&nbsp; into energy, of the gross into&nbsp;subtle, of&nbsp;inferior desire into&nbsp;sublime aspiration occurs in this situation.&nbsp;Hence ejaculation is directly correlated only with&nbsp;procreation, with&nbsp;God\u2019s creative energy. It is only permitted when the tantric lovers wish to procreate.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<BR>By halting&nbsp;ejaculation,&nbsp;a contrary&nbsp;subtle phenomenon of interiorized&nbsp;energy is produced. When ejaculation occurs, we are confronted with exteriorized energy. The retained seminal emission becomes an effervescent accumulation of&nbsp;energy, an accumulation that is the result of what can be extraordinary long sessions of&nbsp;love making. Hence this&nbsp;allows sublime ecstatic states to appear as&nbsp;the Tantric texts have described. This&nbsp;is the exact domain&nbsp;of&nbsp;the scholarly field of&nbsp;Transpersonal Sexuality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an area which explores a rather different approach to&nbsp;the&nbsp;common&nbsp;notions regarding sexuality.
