Summary
Masturbation is not a sin, but it calls for common sense. Dizziness and images of ugly people may stem from guilt and a harsh inner judge shaped by a strict upbringing, although harassment may be involved. If a person cannot resolve this on their own, they should seek professional help. Exteriorized energies attract kindred consciousnesses: love and helping others bring spiritual helpers. During masturbation, fantasies call forth the person being imagined and drain their consciential energies. When masturbation becomes an addiction that is out of control, dense sexual energy attracts primitive consciousnesses that capture energy during orgasm; when masturbation is occasional, spirits do not control the person's actions.
Source transcript
Today's topic is based on an email in which a person asks what is and is not permitted in spirituality regarding group sex, masturbation, infidelity, homosexuality, and bisexuality, and requests clarification. A listener reports: when I masturbate, I become dizzy and see very ugly people; he asks whether this is harassment and how to make those images disappear. I was raised in the Catholic religion and had many restrictions. Now, at age 33 (the age of Christ), all this still seems sinful to me.
He needs to examine his level of guilt regarding this solitary pleasure. He said he feels dizzy and sees very ugly people. He needs to examine what he is imagining or hallucinating in relation to everything he learned in life. When our upbringing is very rigid, when things are always subject to punishment, when we cannot do anything wrong because God punishes us, or when things become very bleak for us, we also end up with a very severe judge. We become our own judge and, in this way, very severe.
The result is that anything you do and do not accept will turn into something heinous and may even cause dizziness because you are somatizing the situation. It would be important to review this with a professional who can help you. If you cannot resolve it on your own by talking with qualified people, seek a specialist who can guide you or undergo therapy. In what is being reported, there is much more of an emotional issue, much more related to what you learned and what you were taught in childhood; now there are very rigid rules and very little room to act.
You cannot do many things because most things are sins. I do not see masturbation as a sin; I do not consider it wrong. I think we should always use common sense. We cannot think that something cannot be done. Take drinking, for example: if you feel like having a glass of beer, have one, but do not look for excuses to drink every day, countless times a day. You can do this, but with common sense, regulating your actions.
Smoking does not seem like a good idea because you are poisoning yourself; in fact, alcohol also poisons you, but cigarettes will cause lung problems, cancer, and other illnesses. With alcohol, if you are sensible and balanced, you may, at certain times, consume an amount that does not harm you, and that is it: everything is fine. But there are things we should not do. For example, I do not think we should use drugs. This is a matter of common sense.
In your case, is this harassment? You may now be experiencing harassment, but it all began in the emotional sphere, in your self-criticism, in your very severe inner judge. Another question in the email from a listener says, "How can masturbation affect us spiritually?" This person speaks in a joking tone because he thinks it is natural; everyone masturbates. Could it attract masturbating spirits? He then adds, "Just kidding," but would like an opinion. Only the church considers sex something demonic.
He was joking, but he asked the question clearly. Does this attract spirits? We have seven major chakras that capture and exteriorize energy. In addition to these, there are smaller chakras that produce our aura. The energy we emit remains in the environment. Suppose you have a positive thought of love, affection, happiness, and joy. This energy divides: one part goes into the environment and one part remains with you, making up your energetic field. Thus, all your thoughts and emotions are divided between you and the environment.
For this reason, when you approach someone, if that person has a high circulation of energy and is playful, happy, and outgoing, they affect the environment in this way. Everyone begins to laugh and feel happy. If the person is ill-tempered, they exteriorize part of the energy they have, which is poison both to themselves and to the environment. The environment becomes depressive and ill-tempered, and people become irritated.
This is very simple to observe. You need only move through positive environments and more unbalanced environments, where people have difficulty dealing with others; above all, anyone who has difficulty dealing with others has difficulty dealing with themselves. The person cannot deal with what they are and is not good company for themselves. The energy we generate also brings the company of better or worse consciousnesses. A very joyful and happy person attracts spirits attuned to what they exteriorize into the environment; those are therefore the spirits that surround them. The relatives who draw near—deceased or still alive among us—are those attuned to joy, playfulness, teasing, jokes, and good humor.
When someone is very ill-tempered, they move away or become affected by what is positive and begin to change. But a very ill-tempered, depressed, and unhappy person cannot remain near someone happy because this contradicts the defense mechanism they use: being unhappy, being the victim.
Sexuality also has its own energy pattern; when you have a sexual fantasy, you think, feel, and experience an emotion, emitting this energy into the environment. Part of it remains with you, and another part goes into the environment. When you resort to masturbation or sexual intercourse, you internally produce a circulation of energies from the base chakra and the sex chakra, which are the chakras that generate the densest energies in human beings. In other words, they put us in contact with the Earth through the foot chakras located on the soles of the feet.
Imagine the following: you are engaging in a solitary activity such as masturbation; you will not do so while thinking, for example, about a vase of flowers, because that would be completely incoherent. You will think about your fantasies. If you are a man, you will think about women; if you are a woman, you will think about men. Perhaps you use a photograph or magazine or watch a movie to stimulate yourself and achieve orgasm. What type of energy are you exteriorizing? You are exteriorizing the densest and most emotional energies a human being can exteriorize.
I liked your joke very much—good humor is excellent. But at this moment, you are exteriorizing energy that serves as food for more primitive and rudimentary consciousnesses: those more sexual and ill-tempered people, because bad temper and instinctive sexuality are in the same chakra. An aggressive person needs to operate with the emotional chakras. One cannot operate with the crown chakra, which is above the head, and still maintain instinctive attitudes. Instinctive attitudes belong to those who operate with lower chakras. The base chakra is what connects us to these more sexual, instinctive, and aggressive consciousnesses.
At the moment of masturbation, you not only evoke the person who is the object of your fantasy but also drain their consciential energies through the solitary activity. This is why many people become depressed: many artists, many women, because their consciential energies are drained. Imagine a person who is exposed publicly and is beautiful—what will happen? The person will be used as an object of love, sex, and everything else. This evokes and devitalizes the person.
You will attract consciousnesses at the same level to yourself, but this occurs only if you turn masturbation into an addiction that is beyond your control. If it is occasional, you are not imprisoned; this means that spirits do not command your behavior either. The moment you become someone who feels the need to masturbate once, twice, or three times a day, every day, there are already consciousnesses sponsoring this activity. This is a problem because the sponsoring consciousness is rudimentary and receives the benefit of capturing the energy at the moment of orgasm. This is therefore not something demonic, nor does it have anything to do with anyone—I am talking about a spiritual reality.
Likewise, if you do very joyful and positive things, you will surround yourself with joyful and positive consciousnesses. If you speak of love, you will bring spiritual helpers to your side. When you perform an activity that assists others, you will have helpers. When you are practicing masturbation, you will attract consciousnesses of that level, with their neediness, needs, and fantasies, which will remain permanently at your side if you no longer have emotional control over it.
