    “Brahmacharya is not against sex. If it is against sex then sex can never disappear. Brahmacharya is a transmutation of the energy: it is not being against sex, rather it is changing the whole energy from the sex center to the higher centers. When it reaches to the seventh center of man, the sahasrar, then brahmacharya happens. If it remains in the first center, muladhar, then sex; when it reaches to the seventh center, then samadhi. The same energy moves. It is not being against it; rather, it is an art how to use it.” - Rajneesh AKA Osho 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️✨
    Edit: I am not a fan of Osho necessarily. I've never felt drawn to his teachings, personally. However, I think this quote of his is a good reflection on practice of brahmacharya, what it is and isn't.

      I’ve read Brahmacharya and Self Knowledge by Sivananda and he certainly wouldnt describe Brahmacharya as a more tempered pathway than “ over indulgence” in sexual activity.
      He strictly expounds:
      Lust is the morbid conditions of mind and body...
      Brahmacharya tells you how to gain mastery of the sexual impulse...
      Lust for the flesh is indicative of the beast in man...
      Lust is the externalizing force ( the evils of materialism.)
      The only and grand function of the sexual organ is generation...
      Brahmacharya is freedom from sexual thoughts and desires. It is the control of all Indryas in thought, word and deed.
      Brahmacharya or spotless charity is the best of the penances. Such a celibate is God indeed!
      This is a most wonderful book. I’ve made dozens of pertinent annotations and refer to them daily as well as other Holy literature.
      I know you are a sincere seeker. I enjoy your videos and the thoughtful manner that goes into making them. Brahmacharya is cumulative. Continue to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and achieve spiritual advancement!
      and remember: dietary restrictions and fasting are very useful auxiliaries in controlling the carnal mind and in the attainment of enlightenment through the boon of invincible Brahmacharya.

      Brahmacharya is the transcendence of the energy of sex, transmuted to the mind body and spirit, applied to the world. Veerya turned to Ojas. You cannot achieve these without detachment (Vairagya). It's the water to a river, the oxygen to a flame, It is the beauty of a flower, the priceless power of a man. You become ecstatic by your own self. It's not a destination. It is a journey. You instantly become a leader when you practice Brahmacharya. I think I can call myself Christian mystique

    My brothers in SR. Connor you are doing an absolutely splendid job. As the world rises, and more dark karma is brought to the service, sexual sin will be at an all time high. We all know that sexual indulgence destroys societies.
    We must cherish this seed. Naturally we will become the spiritual leaders of the new earth and way showers. Keep up the amazing work as always 🌟

    Little motivation story: At 19 I took a psychedelic once to help with past trauma (nothing else worked am pretty responsible of a person) an ended up with a kundalini awakening. Realized oneness, connection with cosmos and lost my sexuality an was in nirvana (new brain chemical makeup I assume) also way faster speed of thinking, but months later I got off day after day after day (not knowing anything about this this is what past me did) an the flow went downwards an experienced what they call kriyas (involuntary body shaking). Am now 20 on the path to get the flow back up. It's a real phenomena not superstition and 100% worth it. The heart and above chakras of the brain become way stronger like as if your brain is on steroids, the part of you that is human is way stronger while the animal kingdom vastly decreases with loss of agitation for a erotic pleasure or food taste or even us vs them tribalism realizing oneness. You get a different type of high just by contemplation and love a lot easier becoming more angel/philosopher like (which would transform civilization if more people went through this process). It sounds like a clickbait story but IMO it is the origin of religion, the original founders weren't trying to spread it around just for control.

      Nice story, thank you for sharing this anecdote which resonates with what so many other guys are experiencing and reporting. They say anecdotal evidence is the lowest rung in scientific credibility, but when thousands upon thousands of men are reporting the same experiences again and again, one must begin to question. And what you said at the end, I completely agree with. These are golden nuggets the avatars like Jesus Christ and Buddha were sharing. Let's put it simply. There are a selection of key hacks or practices, which are really just how we're meant to be living, and when we remember them and re-enshrine them, it raises our consciousness and power. The reason we are in a fallen state collectively is because we have been conditioned or brainwashed to do the opposite of what nature intended for us to easily attain a pristine state of mind, physical vitality, and a feeling of connectedness with all that is. As you said, when enough people make these changes, which revolve around sexual energy, diet, meditation, nature, etc. etc. then society will be transformed from the inside out. This process is inevitable I feel. It's a question of acceleration and the 1000th monkey or tipping point phenomenon. Spreading information. Thanks for sharing! Definitely picking up what you're throwing down here!

      ​@@brightblackgrouse6236 Ayahuasca. Most psych takers do not experience a kundalini awakening from them. Warning: it's not as simple as just taking it. Have to get on a specific diet for couple weeks also get off meds an consider current-past medical conditions, an even a genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia/psychosis (some say that happens cause people take too large of a dose as a beginner idk for sure more research must be done). Shrooms I hear are the safest an much research is happening on them. Don't rush into it if you think you've done your research do it over an over to be safe. I did it cause I had treatment resistant depression for almost a decade an was willing to take the risk.

    Yes it is important to look down on sexuality as something animalistic which is what so many modern idiots get wrong, sex is no more a part of who you are then being born, it's meant to happen once for the continuation of the species and that's it. Brahmachaya couldn't be more anti sex and anyone that doesn't realize that is simply a spiritual infant that has absolutely no clue what they are talking about!!! You do not see Brahma and have sex once in a while, you don't walk on water and have sex once in a while, you do not even become a great genus and casually have sex here and there!!! Brahmachaya is the ultimate key to all religious philosophy and there is NO SUGAR COATING IT!!!! Even a Muslim has no 7 virgins without purification of all 7 charkras through Brahmacharya!!! There is no sexual paradise above our head in which all our lust will be fulfilled by God, the Kingdom of God knows no such Ananda that is of flesh but of spirit alone.
    I also find it absolutely erroneous that you say ''we shouldn't judge'' as if that is an act that's even possible for anything in the entire universe. Every breath we take is a judgment, every food we eat and beverage we drink is a judgment, every time we say something is good, bad or anything in between a judgment is being made, watching this video is a judgment, doing math is a judgment!!! The only way ''we shouldn't judge'' makes sense outside of that context whatsoever is if it means ''don't be a hypocrite and start practicing what you preach, in which case ''no problem''!!!!

    Brahmacharya is made from Brahma + Charya.
    Brahma - comes from word Brahmin. Brahmin is oneness, the immutable source of all consciousness which manifest in each of us - goal of mystics was about identifying with oneness rather than the egoic self.
    Charya is path - in this context, it is the path towards oneness, where one is firmly grounded in oneness
    Autoerotic thought and indulging in fantasies comes is diametrically opposite to path of oneness.
    When we talk about creativity, nirvana from Bhramacharya - it is about achieving a state of mind where one is grounded in oneness - oneness activates genuine morality, empathy and makes mind more fertile for receiving insights
