Study Notes

Sex Transmutation

  • Transmutation is transferring one element or energy form to another.
  • Sex is linked to three constructive possibilities: perpetuating the human race, maintaining health, and turning mediocrity into genius.
  • Sex transmutation involves changing focus from physical to other aspects; it does not mean celibacy or repression.
  • Sexual desire, when properly channeled, can enhance imagination, courage, willpower, persistence, and creativity.
  • Willpower is necessary for sex transmutation, but it is inborn; the desire should be directed, not suppressed.
  • Transmutation gives alternative outlets, preventing physical expressions if not channeled.
  • Successful achievers often possess highly developed sexual natures and mastered the art of sex transmutation.
  • Achievement often correlates with romantic love for another. Research spanning 2,000 years supports this claim.
  • Sex is an irresistible force; removing sex glands from people or animals results in docility and a lack of drive.
  • Sex is a creative force and a major source of action.

Ten Mind Stimuli

  • The mind reacts to stimuli to increase vibrations (enthusiasm, imagination, etc.)
  • Ten key stimuli: sexual expression, love, fame/power/money, music, same-sex/opposite-sex friendship, mastermind alliances, mutual suffering, autosuggestion, fear, and narcotics/alcohol.
  • Sexual expression ranks among the top stimuli for boosting mental vibrations.
  • Eight stimuli are natural and constructive, two are destructive.

Genius and the Sixth Sense

  • Genius is the ability to access knowledge beyond ordinary thought.
  • The sixth sense is creative imagination. Most people rarely or accidentally use it.
  • Creative imagination is the link between the human mind and infinite intelligence.
  • Inspirations originate from these sources: infinite intelligence, subconscious mind, other people's thoughts, and other people's subconscious minds.
  • Higher-than-average intensity and awareness help the creative imagination function well.
  • The creative faculty—the sixth sense—distinguishes genius from ordinary people.

Cultivating Creative Imagination

  • The creative faculty strengthens with use, becoming more alert and receptive to external thought vibrations.
  • Conscience is linked to the creative faculty.
  • Important people often experience hunches or flashes of insight.
  • Methods for accessing the creative faculty include concentrating on known aspects of a problem while clearing the mind for subconscious input.
  • Evidence for the creative faculty exists from successful non-academically-educated individuals. (e.g., Lincoln, Gates)
  • Genius inventors, such as Edison, use both synthetic (reasoning) and creative imagination.

Why Most People Don't Succeed Before 40

  • Most successful individuals achieve prominence after 40 or even 50.
  • Energy dissipation due to overly physical expression of sex drive often delays success.
  • People often don't understand that the sexual urge can lead to important outcomes beyond physical expression.

Love, Romance, and Sex

  • Love, romance, and sex are powerful achievment-building emotions. Love acts as a safety valve for balanced effort.
  • Love experiences, even lost ones, leave enduring influences.
  • Love is spiritual, sex is biological. Mixed, they create deep happiness.
  • Love helps people to avoid dissipation of energies.

Importance of Sex Energy

  • High sex drives are linked to achievers, leading to success in many fields.
  • Transmuting sex energy into other desired forms leads to genius-level performance.
  • Sex energy is often misinterpreted and can lead to destructive behaviors if not transmuted and managed properly.
  • Sex drives, when transmuted properly, create magnetism in the individual, influencing others (e.g., salesmanship).
  • The greatest mind stimulants, however, are emotions: sex as a constructive or destructive force is dependent on the user.
  • Both physical activity and artificial stimulants (drugs, alcohol) can be destructive when used too much; therefore moderation is key with all forms of stimuli.
