SEX (UNLIKE FOOD) IS NOT A PAINFUL, PHYSICAL NEED. BUT INSTEAD IT IS A MENTAL URGE WHICH, UNCHECKED, CAN BECOME A LUSTFUL ADDICTION SMILER TO – THE SCOURGE OF REALITY – ALCOHOL*(1). HENCE IT MUST BE SUBLIMATED (WITH UNDERSTANDING) TO A GREATER JOY LIKE L-O-V-
E*(2).
(LOVE CAN REACH COMPLETE FULFILMENT ONLY WITH THAT “COMPATIBLE COMPANION.” BUT BEFORE SEARCHINGS FOR LOVE, LUST MUST BE RENOUNCED – AS DANGEROUSLY UNCONTROLLABLE AND AN IMPEDIMENT TO LOVE.)
*(01) nothing can pervert reality like ALCOHOL! (Proper sensuality constitute the basic tenets of ISLAM; where alcohol is forbidden, and lust so despised that women are compelled to “cover” themselves in public – “to stop seducing and being seduced.”)
*(02) Love and lust two strokes of an X, poles apart though touching at sex! Erotic sex is a demanding lust, whereas loving sex is a satisfying tranquility. So, let love be your guide to sex; Let compatibility be your guide to love; let happiness be your guide to compatibility; and let reality be your guide to happiness. (In Love, sex is the dessert. I Lust, sex is the main course – there is no Dessert.)
16 .B
THE CONSTANT CHANGE REQUIRED TO PREVENT SENSE SATISFACTIONS (but not the happiness) FROM LAPSING INTO MONOTONY (the curse of remembering) IS THE MAIN REASON FOR RESORTING TO DISTORTIONS OR PERVERSIONS; WHICH IN THEMSELVES MAY APPEAR RELATIVELY HARMLESS, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT SUCH DEVIATIONS MAKE THE UNMASKING OF REALITY VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. ALCOHOL IS SO SUCCESSFUL IN DISTORTING EVEN THE APPARENT (LET ALONE REALITY) THAT IT IS CONSIDERED THE BEST REMEDY FOR BOREDOM*(1)!
*(01) Alcohol makes one calm, casual, carefree and confident; by inhibit…it ting the warning mechanisms of the brain (in the hypothalamus). Alcohol does not provide a stimulus or zest for enhanced activity, like amphetamine, nicotine or even caffeine though the confidence of alcohol can…….
16.C ”SKILLS & THRILLS”
A SKILL PRODUCES A NATURAL, POSITIVE PLEASURE*(1). BUT A THRILL IS THE MERE (suspense of) ELEVATION FROM A DELIBERATE DEPRESSION – A PERVERSION OF PLEASURE. THE EXCITEMENT IN GAMBLING IS A NOTABLE EXAMPLE*(2).
(REFRAINING FORM GAMBLING TOO CONSTITUTES A BASIC TENET OF ISLAM. ISLAM IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT PROHIBITS ALL SENSE PERVERSIONS IN ADDITION TO EXCESSES. THIS IS TO GET THE BEST OF SENSUALITY, WITHOUT DISTORTING THE TRUE AIDS TO HUMAN LIVING HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
FUNCTIONALLY PROGRESSIVE. THIS APPLIED TO HUMAN ATTIRE TOO; UNTIL FASHION LOST ALL DIRECTION AND CONTROL, AND THE CONSENT OF HIGHER BE….. )
*(01) Even so, a physical skill must not be permitted to dominate one’s life to the extent of hindering vital intellectual advancement, or the realizing of reality. It is relatively easy for a doctor to practice medicine whilst being tied to reality, but a professional golfer, for instance, cannot do the same so easily. Moreover, both the ecstasy of victory and the despair of defeat can carry one uncontrollably away from reality. An; attentive relaxation’ (of reality) is the best way of wading through the vicissitudes of life: A mastery over the apparent, with the aid of the real. This should apply equally to earning, learning and relaxing, or the entirety of one’s living. Every moment that does not have to direct to the apparent should be devoted to reality or searching for the truth. As the discovery of one such fact can provide more joy than a day full of sensual satisfactions – at any level.
*(02) Only a few gamble purely for gain. Most gamblers are addicted to the thrill!
16.D: 1.
IF YOU HAVE A COMPELLING URGE TO INDULGE IN SOMETHING, WHICH YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN WILL CAUSE REGRET AFTERWARDS; THEN YOU ARE ADDICTED TO IT*(1). THIS AMOUNTS TO A (REALITY) OBSCURING EXCESS, REQUIRING AN URGENT SOLUTION B STUDY*(2) – NOT MERE REPRESSION!
*(01) in the initial stages, it merely urges you disturbingly. And is a sign of losing control. Islam is on to this, by stipulating the avoiding of indulgences with no rationally assessed need.
*(02) Since you already know that it is wrong, the solution is to find an alternative that is more satisfying mentally – if not physically. The best is a revision of what you have already archived; which satisfies by confirmation, and stimulates by inducing further thought.
16.D: 2.
A PERSON IS CONSIDERED DIGNIFIED, REFINED AND CULTURED WHEN HE OR SHE BEHAVES ACCORDING TO RATIONALLY ACCEPTED NORMS. THESE DO NOT HAVE TO BE ABANDONED IN ORDER TO ENJOY SEX OR ANY OTHER SENSUALLY TO THE FULLEST. ONLY AN INTELLIGENT UNDERSTANDING OF THE PLEASURE SOUGHT NEED BE REALIZED. THIS ELIMINATES ALL DISTORTIONS – AND ALCOHOL – INSTANTANEOUSLY. PERVERSIONS DO NOT INCREASE SENSE GRATIFICATION, THEY MERELY TWIST
THINKING TO APPROVE ODD, NEW SENSATIONS*(1). BUT HOMOSEXUALS DO NOT SEEK A NEW EXPERIENCE OR MORE GRATIFICATION, THEY JUST LIKE TO BE UNNATURAL. THEY ARE MENTALLY INCAPABLE OF ACCOMMODATING TO THEIR PHYSICALLY INHERITED SEXES OR BODIES. HOMOSEXUALITY DOES MORE TO SUBSTANTIATE MIND CONTINUUM, THAN ANY OTHER FACTUAL
OBSERVATION. THE MANNERISMS OF ANY THREE – YEAR – OLD, FOR INSTANCE, WILL INDICATE WHETHER THERE IS AN OBVIOUS MIND-BODY MISFIT. MANY SUCH MISFITS ADJUST QUICKLY, BUT A FEW CONTINUE EVEN TO ADULTHOOD AND ENSUING HOMOSEXUALITY. ONLY RARELY IS HOMOSEXUALITY ACQUIRED WITHOUT THE “INNATE TENDENCY.*(2)” UNTIL SEXUAL REALIZE THIS AND ADJUST, THEY WILL MAKE A MOCKERY OF HUMANITY – AND REALITY. THE RIGHT TO HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE RIGHT TO ABORTION ARE LIKE THE OFFENDER WANTING THE RIGHTS OF THE OFFENDED! FOR THE REAL PROBLEM IS – AS ALWAYS – NOT WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT WHY ARE DOING THESE THINS.
*(01) the music of Michael Jackson and the painting of Pablo Picasso demonstrate this basis of surrealism well. And sod o most sex perversions, such as Pedophilia. All perversions (except for the variants alcohol and gambling) are fads which fade. Their danger is the distancing from the real. Even pain can be twisted to provide pleasure, but this goes to undermine the purpose of pain, and thwarts progress to reality. A drunk is happy for nothing – since the warning mechanisms of the brain are inhibited. (Surgical ablation of the activators of these warning centers, can make a lion as docile as a cat.)
*(02) This is except in the instance of the “passive” partner, who usually indulges for profit, as an occupation. Also, homosexuality can be a substitute (similar to masturbation) in the absence of the other sex. But a “dyed in the wool” homosexual is always “innate”. (Mind – body misfits must be arising in animals too. But as they are incapable of ingenious adaptations, they have adjust or have nothing.)
