That was in reference to that I seem to be always ready to
make love with her.
I replied, “No, I ride my hormones.”
“So, you are driven by your hormones.”
“No, I ride my hormones.
I desire to make love to you, but only when you are ready.”
I think the rest of the conversation, after that, continued
in my own head.
Sexual desire can be used as a form of energy.
I love women.
I have always said that beautiful women are a dime a
dozen…
Walk down any busy street, outwardly beautiful women are
common.
Now, inwardly beautiful women… that is a different story.
One thing that I have observed is the most beautiful women I
have met, inwardly and outwardly beautiful, were not always outwardly
beautiful.
Often, early on, growing up, they did not feel
beautiful.
Then when they grew into their outward beauty, they remained
inwardly beautiful…
I read somewhere that when men see a beautiful woman, their
brains light up in the same place that lights up when they use cocaine.
I believe that is true.
That is a jolt of energy to the brain body…
The question then arises of what do you do with that
energy?
Do you chase that beautiful object?
Or do you bring that energy back to other things in your
life?
You can bring that sexual energy back to your partner.
You can bring that energy to anything you do.
I am, mostly, the master of my genetic tendencies.
If I was not the master, if I was driven and a slave to my
hormones, then my actions would be that I would have sex with others without
discrimination. As many do, having sex
with whoever is available. I have never
had an affair.
I sometimes give in to my tendency to buy too many
things. I am future oriented, and I am a
Seven on the enneagram. I fantasize
about all the fun I will have with the stuff I buy!
How do we choose what do with our energy?
Many of us are driven by our genes and hormones…
Many of us are driven by advertisements and social
media...
Many of us are addicted…
to drugs, shopping, work…
Sometimes even to exercise and meditation…
By addiction, I mean that what we spend our time doing is,
overall, long-term, not good for us personally, or good for the people around
us, or for society in general…
By addiction, I mean that we are not in control, and we feel
that we are drowning…
Now, there is evidence that we are never really in
control…
Our Egos only think we are in control…
The question is who is in control?
My argument here is that you can be driven by outward
stimuli, that often is not in your best long-term interest…
Conversely, you can listen to the deep inward wisdom that is
present in each of us…
Yes, each and every one of you has a deep inward
wisdom…
You just have to cut through all the noise…
For me, I have to get quiet…
I have to get away from work, social media, my computer, my
smart phone, television, and usually even music…
You do not have to do formal meditation, but that is often a
helpful way to start…
So, in the end, the little “i,” my Ego, is not the Master…
The big “I,” Source is the Master…
Learn to listen to your inner wisdom…
Let life flow… beautifully…
Namaste
