I found him in front of his books. "Why do you read so much?" I asked. "If the experience is inside, then why should you read?"
"Well, it's easy and quick said. Books are words and words have little in common with the insight you can gain in search of knowledge, but - words have the power to approach the knowledge inside. Words are capable to awake powers and capabilities which are slumbering and are deeply rooted inside. "
"Regard yourself, for example. You feel that something is dormant inside of you. You are on the search and you would be happy if you knew what you should call to awaken the slumbering power."
"Sure, everyone is looking for - I think at least."
"Yes, that's true, but search and search is not the same. Some are looking for confirmation and wish not to awaken the slumbering. They fear themselves, because what harm would our slumbering power inside mean to us?"
"The Others are looking for clear words. They are looking for harmony with their mind. Everything will be as sound as it was logical. They want the slumbering power not to be awaken, they always want the new and always think the new they get lost in the world of physical phenomena, in which everything can be that is logical. They scrape on the slumbering power, they upset the slumbering power, but ultimately they let the slumbering power sleep. "
"And then there are the power people. They would like to raise slumbering powers in order to be at an advantage. They are the people looking for insider information and quick extra profit. If the slumbering power were greedy and would like to make profit, then the slumbering power would soon be awakened. So there are only bold and greedy people who succeed to transfer to daily life things helping to influence and manipulate the will of other humans. The transferred insights have not to be as long as it works on people. The power people have a distorted view of the slumbering power. "
"And then there are people who wake the slumbering power. They are cautious. The slumbering power turns in his sleep, it sighs and talks in his sleep. The slumbering power dreams, prays and sings, quiet and almost inaudible. Those who are boldly and need not to explain everything and need not imposing something on their fellow people, those who respects the signs of of the slumbering power will eventually awake it. The Waking up may last for one second or even 12 years. Attentiveness is the wake-up call of the slumbering power and never, never let yourself explain from other people what your slumbering powers are up to. This will guide your attentiveness, trim it, dwindle it. No, open your mind and listen to your slumbering powers and when I read a book, then the slumbering powers will listen too and if I am attentive, then I feel when it says something. "

Who Is The Scholar ?
His last day on earth had begun. He knew it, but it didn't touch him. He was composed and ready. One last time before he died he wanted to go through his house and view his life's work. He walked slowly from room to room and looked over the large book shelves, in which he kept his findings ordered thematically. Finally, he went to his favorite place. His large library.
The room was the largest in the house and while his wife had been there, there were many years of argument about why he claimed the largest room for himself. Why he ever spent so much time here. He walked through the room, here and there he put his hand on the spine of a book and remembered gratefully of hours of happiness, which he experienced among his books, which brought him new insights. He was ready. He had answered all the questions.
Randomly dropped his gaze on a black shelf, above left. There was a gap in the series. Involuntarily he accelerated his steps. Damned - The sweat began to pour. Here were books missing. These are the questions he had yet not asked - overlooked. With trembling hands, he grabbed the first book to read the subject.
The sense of erudition? All the years he had sought, collected, fathomed. One question led to another, but why? Why.
He sat down and explored his mind. The death sat down next to him and put him a friendly hand on the shoulder. "Well, guess what comes next?"
The scientist shook his head. "No, why all this?. I am not yet ready "
The death smiled and floated away.
The scholar is a collector. He is in balance if he can gather knowledge. Now the passion to collect knowledge may take on the form of an obsession. He may estimate the needs of other people low. The scholars are friendly and open to all people who are also looking for knowledge, because between them them he is in his element, but he is able to neglect the ones he loves.
His search keeps him healthy and keeps the death away. In his vicinity ill people can heal, therefore the scholar is a natural talent in healing. For him it is difficult to part his love for knowledge acquisition with love for other people and it is possible that others will leave him who are looking for human closeness.
Sometimes, he is arrogant and cynical, especially when his remarks betray boredom of the human nature and his suffering from the stupidity of people. The remarks never include his dialog partners. They are meant as an invitation for the joint search of nothing less than the philosophers stone, in what areas it may be.
His values and his quest is often dedicated to higher spheres to noble to exist on the ground and with a high demand on the world - suitable for the search for knowledge and a hindrance in dealing with the real world.

II. Sex is dangerously, from an esoterical point of view?
In this blog occasionally the topic life energy will be treated. I use the experiences of over thirty years of meditation.
The man of action says, “We would have heard of it, if Sex were dangerous. Then it would be well-known for centuries.”
The scholar adds, “but he means, do people loose energy, if they engage in a sexual relationship.”
“Why should that probably be? ”, the man of action asks. “I mean, you could examine people before having sex and afterwards. What would be the expected results?”
The student, “people would have a hole in the aura?”
Both men laugh roaring up. “A hole in the aura, you are joking. Imagine how an aura is built. It consists of energy threads. These threads cannot stop in between then keep on running. Either the threads are there or not. “ The scholar waves denyingly.
“However in some books it is written of holes which will develop in your aura, of energy loss? ”, the student asks unimpressed of the laughter. “Why then is it told and how could you explain to others, that no energy loss takes place?”
The man of action shrugs. “I don't know, I would like to point out another criterion. If people have the feeling to experience too few or too much Sex then they feel uneasy. Their attention is drawn again and again to the topic. It requires time, which can perhaps be better spent than to think about the frequency of sexual intercourse in general or especially related to yourself. In most cases you will find another reason for the behaviour of men. They derive their value as a man of the frequency they encounter women. If I can show off many adventures, then I am a special man - otherwise i maybe a looser. “
“I agree with my worthy previous speaker ", the scholar says, “and I can support his remarks with some theory. If you want to meditate, if you learn to bundle internally your energy, to focus energy on certain intentions, then a picture of yourself in which you fail is not helpful. Le us assume, you would like to become a successful stage designer and train eagerly for this goal. You focus your intention on this goal and support it with meditative pictures. After you direct thus your energy toward the goal, you become sad in your daily life, because of the sad state of your love-affairs. This sad feeling is generated by an low self-image of yourself, an image of you being powerless in life. “
The sun woman says, “and that is the point, when men go bug us women. They come, want attention and love, but I feel uneasiness the entire time. That does not have anything to do with me, I am in a blue funk, which sticks to me and I ask myself, where does it come from? “
The moon woman nods confirmingly. “As a woman, you would not like to take blue funk feeling of the men in exchange for love. What do I gain? He gets the feeling that he is able to defeat the world and i however feel down ? “
Sun woman nods. “No woman would want it.”
The scholar amends, “thus, the conviction is independent, a man must have success with women, of their moods…”
The sun woman protests, “well-being - not moods - well-being!”
The scholar nods, “ arr, independently of the well-being of the women, an mistake. You can be successfully with women fail in your profession and in reverse. Sex is no link, these are two different things. “
The moon woman adds, “we women choose the men, all the same what men might believe themselves. If we choose our partner, then he can imagine, he would have enticed us, but that is fancy. “
“Success comes only, if you don't force things ", the man of the action maintains. “Success consists of recognizing, where things become possible, where opportunities arise and to seize them. That is success. “
The scholar concludes. “Perhaps thus you create yourself possibilities, which you do not seize then, because you are to busy thinking of the stat of your love affairs. “
The man of action continues, “or you run against the wall, because you think - I defeat the world, I just had Sex. To have sex is one thing, to have an opportunity for goals you gave yourself in life, is a completely separate thing. “
The moon woman draws also her conclusion. “Thus men lose much energy if the are occupied with women in order to feel themselves as real men.”
“And then mistaking spending time us women with counting the numbers of sex adventures.”
The moon woman yawns, “that are very simple structures .”
“Those to check out every now and then prove to be difficult", adds the scholar.
“However back to your question”, the man of action says. “How could you recognize, if one is weakened by Sex? Now that is simple. “
“You need a calm moment, undisturbed of everything. Then imagine, you carry a heavy load, not to big so you can carry her for a long time. This picture represents your energy level. “
“Then recall your last intimate moment and continue to carry the load in your conception. If you have to carry more weight after your love encounter, then you lost energy. If the weight hot easier, you won energy. Does the load feel the same nothing changed. Your energy balance is the same. That is so simple. “
The scholar, south woman and the moon woman nods. “We all made this exercise already.”
“And? ”, the student asks.
“You do not lose energy, there is no effect.”
“And why then some people maintain it?”
“ That is the question about the motivation of these people”, says the scholar
to be continued.
What is your opinion. Why do some people state that physical love makes you weak?
