BUILDING OJAS
13.1: OJAS IS LIFE! CLIMBING HIGHER THAN
EVER: Climbing the "Mt. Everest" of transmutation is
a concept to keep in mind in the search for real
wholeness. Ojas is the "gold of God." The more ojas
one has the better! This remarkable substance has no
rival. Knowing this great truth, and if chastity were
not so difficult, everyone would be chaste.
When sexual fluids are conserved and one's thoughts remain
directed away from physical desires and are transmuted through
deep meditation, these sexual fluids combine with prana to form
ojas which is a vital, subtle substance that coats the nerves and
allows the kundalini to awaken and flow blissfully upwards
through the sushumna which in turn transmutes sexual desire
helping in the creation of even more ojas. The benefits of ojas are
so great that it is a very wise thing to try to stay away from any
form of sexual activity and thoughts which would completely
disrupt the flow of ojas. Ojas is vital for serious spiritual progress
and growing soul awareness. Any spiritual path that claims lasting
benefits without the requirement of celibacy can't really be a
genuine spiritual path. I won't invalidate every religion or path
that does not require celibacy, however, one can't expect to go
very far without ojas!

One may learn a great deal, one may find the path very
interesting, even "enlightening" but without some form of self-
restraint or practice of transmutation or at the very least some
form of moderation, there cannot be any rapid and permanent
mastery toward sainthood. After all, who ever heard of saints
having sex, going to brothels, etc and then somehow remaining
or becoming saints as a result of their indulgences? One can
meditate for years and years, do all types of yoga, and improve
the diet (essential but how often is this vital element also not
included?) even listen to auto suggestive and self-improvement
CDs, and yes as a result of all these things combined there may
be some benefits, but still very slim pickings compared to the
truely awesome benefits of celibacy and ojas!
Jesus was celibate, all the greatest yogis who ever lived were
celibate or if married did not have sex with their wives. This does
not mean avoiding close relationships, love and affection, they
just avoided or worked on transforming or purifying the sensual
aspects of their relationships so that the loss of semen and/or
orgasm does not happen. The point of all this discussion is that
there is no way that habitual sexual indulgences of the
conventional kind and ojas can coexist! Sexual orgasm with loss
of sexual fluids is the opposite of spirituality. The two are like dry
ice and fire, because one is completely dependent on the absence
of all heat while the other can't exist without it. The heat of
passion instantly vaporizes the "dry ice" of ojas. Ojas can only be
the result of long term (months, years, forever) abstinence from
all forms of sex, that means abstinence from any form of
physical, astral, mental or causal sex that would result in the loss
of sexual fluids or wet dreams. Under the right conditions, if one
offers all sexual desires, fantasies, etc. to one's God or higher
Self, and transforms it into pranic energy through deep
meditation or samadhi, in return one can receive beautiful,
sublime bliss and the ability to provide unconditional love.
Individuals enjoying months, years and especially permanent
celibacy are extremely rare, yet such an achievement is
immensely worthwhile to strive for because the benefits are truly
dramatic. Life seems to feel like heaven on Earth, even during
difficult times. Daily chores, challenges and hard work are much
more easily met. It is so much easier to remain serene and even
tempered under the most trying circumstances. After nine years
of building ojas one can achieve the "memory nerve" which is the
ability to recall all events in the past including past lives! Other
benefits of long term celibacy include deep and lasting bliss, a
sense of God's love, much self-confidence, ability to meditate
very deeply and go into samadhi at will, a terrific sense of
lightness, and in the later stages certain siddhis or powers can
become available such as an ability to soul travel or astral project
any time, enjoy telepathic communication with other souls both
incarnate and discarnate, etc.
Celibacy & Transmutation of Sexual Energy
Just as humankind has learned to master and control many
natural forces in the world, a yogi (or yogini) is a very special
(and unfortunately rare) individual who's inclination is to control
and master the inner forces of nature, such as thoughts,
emotions, cravings, and desires, especially the biological force of
sexual energy. The yogi or yogini manages to successfully
master his or her emotions and sexual energy not by force, but
through purification of brain and body cells and then by
absorption of vital prana. The transmutation of sex into inner
peace, bliss, joy and love is the wonderful end result. One of the
greatest mysteries of life is sex, sexual desire, and sexual
energy. However, when sexual energy is lost in the process of
reproductive activity, the spiritual life suffers.
13.2: WHAT IS OJAS?: Ojas is a subtle pranic substance that acts
like a bridge between spirit and matter improving memory, and
tuning one more and more with the intention and direction of
superconscious spirit rather than having to remain a victm of
blind instinct, the subconscious mind, and emotional desire. Ojas
is in a sense an aspect of God and the one essential substance
needed for real spiritual development and interaction with
God(dess).
I am presently doing research to determine whether ojas might
be related to the substance ectoplasm that is exuded by physical
mediums to be used by spirits to form temporary physical
manifestations of themselves in a dark room (ectoplasm is
extremely sensitive to light). I would be extremely interested to
know if ojas is indeed related to ectoplasm. If this is true, then
mediums (and hopefully even ordinary people like myself) should
be able to dramatically improve their mediumship by simply
avoiding sex as much as possible. Whatever ojas may actually be,
because of its amazing benefits, I personally think that sexual
energy, vital fluids and ojas are the most valuable substances in
the universe.
13.3: OVERCOMING THE MIND: As has been mentioned in my
article, Celibacy, Sex and Anxiety Disorder, there are many levels
and forms of sex. Sex is actually a very essential and basic part
of the life of the organism. One's happiness and well-being is
highly dependent on sexual energy, and one's happiest moments
in life are often considered to be while having sex. Because one's
capacity to enjoy happiness seems rooted in healthy sexual
energy, then would it not make sense that the more healthy
sexual energy one has, the happier one will be? When one learns
how to transmute, this fact becomes basically true. The more
sexual energy a yogi has, the more bliss and happiness enjoyed.
Unfortunately sexual indulgence immediately uses up sexual
energy! Also one can't just simply stop having sex altogether and
then expect some benefit right away. Sex has to be gradually
abstained from more and more while being transformed more and
more into new directions of activity such as meditation, selfless
love, devotion to God(dess) and communion with nature. The
most obvious thing to avoid is loss of sexual fluids which take a
long time to replenish, however, even the habits of looking at,
visualizing, thinking and fantasizing about sex needs to be
checked and transformed into something higher such as feelings
of selfless love, devotion and inspiration. Everything follows the
mind and once all mental forms of sex are habitually transformed
into deep concentration on God(dess) and/or higher emotions of
bliss and love, etc. one is well on the way to being a master.
13.4: OVERCOME SEXUAL DESIRE WITH PRANA: The key is to
become aware of and obtain prana from nature. Read my article,
"The Pranic Principle" which explains how prana comes from
nature and the universe and how it is utilized by our bodies for
health, well-being, vitality and even nourishment! Through means
of ojas, which acts as an intermediary between prana and flesh,
many yogis seem to be able to replace some or all of their
nutritional needs with prana.
Prana, not yet recognized by mainstream science, as can be seen
on these web
pages: [Link]
[Link] were obviously written by people who have no ojas and
who never experienced "prana, vitalism," or "chi" which I directly
experience constantly and in massive amounts every day. So I
am always very shocked or surprised to find "scientific" articles
that don't recognize prana and still support only the mechanistic
view of living organisms which are obviously far too complicated
to be just "mechanistic." People who think nature is just
mechanical and/or entirely biochemical will need to adjust their
outlook. Thank God for quantum physics which will enable science
to finally get a grasp on the principles behind prana and zero
point energy and the ability of ojas to convert this energy into a
form of nourishment that the physical body can use. I believe the
deepest mysteries of nature will always remain unfathomable.
The best way to transmute (transform a basic element or emotion
into a finer element or feeling such as sexual fluid into ojas or
sexual urges into divine love) is to stay on the diet I speak of
throughout my website and get plenty of outside recreational
exposure to nature which will, especially during meditation fill
one's whole self with massive amounts of vital energy. One
experiences this energy as bliss, expansion of consciousness, and
an overwhelming sense of lightness. Ojas acts as a "go between"
this subtle prana and the gross nerves and organs of the physcial
body so that more prana can be absorbed into the physical body
through the subtle meridians or channels, recharging every organ
of the body with healthy, rejuvenating, ecstatic vitality.
Another important factor determining the speed of ojas creation
is the amount of "healthy" sexual fluid available in the body. That
is why long-term celibacy (even to the level of not even allowing
wet dreams) is most desirable as the creation of ojas and bliss
definitely seems to originate in the interaction of the nerves and
glands in the body with the presence of sexual fluid. Every drop
of healthy sexual fluid in a healthy body acts like a charged
battery of vital energy. The more "battery power" one has, the
more bliss and spiritual enlightenment one can enjoy. Ojas is a
pranic force that is kept alive and recharged through habitual
pure heartedness, healthful living, appreciation of nature and
unselfish love.
Unselfish love and pure joy are the states of consciousness to live
in because these states are sustainable and all fulfilling. Lust,
sexual stimulation, and drugs create very intense feelings but are
completely unsustainable and therefore ultimately lead one down
the road to the pit of despair, depression, anxiety and depletion,
or in the most extreme cases, mental illness, stealing, murder
and suicide. Ojas and the long lasting joy that ojas sustains is the
product of much finer and wiser habits of self-control, self-
knowledge and self-mastery which may at first seem much
harder to do, but in all honesty is really a far, far easier and
vastly more exciting, wholesome and fulfilling path to take than
the way of sensuality!
13.5: EXERCISES TO SPEED UP THE CREATION OF OJAS: A form
of "energy healing" can be used to help transmutation of sexual
desires into ojas. If sensual thoughts and desires still persist, the
transmutation process can be helped along by standing up
straight and vigorously moving one's hands from the area in front
of the genitals and upwards to just above the forehead many
times as fast as possible. This exercise seems to train the energy
to move upward away from the seat of sexual desire, and to also
generate more vitality for transmutation and illumination.
A very interesting property of prana is its tendency to follow the
direction of consciousness and mental concentration. If one, while
breathing in, imagine energy in the form of white light moving up
the spine, up the back, through the neck and up to the top of the
head and/or third eye behind forehead, the energy actually
seems to follow this mental pathway. While breathing out return
the attention to the base of the spine, start breathing in and
repeat this process over and over. Imagine that the inhalation
breath acts like a pump siphoning the energy upwards. This
process is another great way to speed up the creation of ojas. It
is another transmutation exercise leading to higher states of
conscousness free of the pull of nature which tends to keep the
soul bound to its lower nature. Not only lust, but other emotions
such as anger, greed, jelousy, unhappiness and tiredness can
sometimes be transmuted into joy and love this way. Do this
exercise every day as much as possible until it becomes a habit.
Another interesting experiment with ojas, ojas creation and prana
is to sit, stand and/or meditate in front of a fan blowing air in
from outside. The longer one has been celibate, the more
fascinating the results of this practice! Try different speeds on the
fan and notice how the air flows around the body, how it feels,
how its cooling sensations create a remarkable sense of bliss and
ecstasy. One can tell one's level of ojas by the amount of ecstasy
one gets from the blowing air. It is almost a feeling of numbness,
of deep pleasure in every skin cell of the body and a total ecstasy
and detachment from the body in those who have been very good
at creating, retaining and maintaining ojas in their body!
The Hidden Treasures Are Within
This book is a compilation of fifteen inspirational articles
regarding wholeness, meditating, how to choose your spiritual
path, and how vital the hidden treasures of wholeness are for
living a more full and complete life. Although this book includes
some passages from the Bible and meditation-oriented
information from the "Path of Sant Mat," this book is purely a
spiritual text not meant to promote any religion. Most of this
book will be about why wholeness is so essential and how to
achieve it. I believe it is of utmost importance to make one's
search for wholeness one's highest priority in what would
otherwise be a temporary and fickle existence. To realize Spirit
in one's life is vital for adding meaning to what would otherwise
be a meaningless and materialistic existence.
13.6: HIM THAT OVERCOMETH - THE GREAT REWARD OF
OJAS: In the most advanced cases of life-long sexual fluid
retention, transmutaion and creation of ojas, one is able to go off
into total bliss or a profound sense of weightlessness,
unbelievable happiness and fulfillment, and actually leave the
body to astral travel wherever one's heart desires! This ability
leads to permanent liberation from the prison of the flesh! There
is no greater joy than this, no greater desire fulfulled, nothing
more relishable than this highest freedom of all. The ability to
leave the body, (die daily at will) because of the long awaited
accumulation of ojas, is the end of all suffering, and the
beginning of great spiritual knowledge, love and the profoundest
happiness ever achieved. Forget the treasures of worldliness, for
this ability (to die daily at will) is the ultimate treasure! It is a
billion times better than having the key to the car for the first
time. Now the whole universe is available to explore and all of
God(dess) to become one with. Death is no longer a mystery
because one is already "dying daily" at will and visiting the higher
spheres and the spirits who happily reside there in perfect
harmony with nature. Because the desires of the flesh have been
overcome, one no longer needs to be reborn ("go no more
out...") in the world of the flesh again.
"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my
God, and he shall go no more out..." (Revelation 3:12)
"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne,
even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his
throne." (Revelation 3:21)
Especially after mastering the transmutation and creation of ojas,
it becomes possible to learn how to lucid dream and have out-of-
body experiences from a 70 minute video. This 70 minute video is
packed with tips that many people have used to have their first
out of body experiences and lucid dreams. In part one you'll learn
how to use the body's own biology to put yourself in a
subconscious focus without using any mental visualizations. This
shortens the learning curve immensely and you very well may
have an OBE or lucid dream the very first time you use the
methods in this video. Part two covers more advanced methods in
which you can take command of your lucid dreaming by doing
Wake Induced Lucid Dreams or WILDs. You'll learn a powerful
visualization called a teleporting OBE exit that you can use to do
a WILD, you'll also learn how to craft your own efficient
visualizations.
