Let's Be Practical
It's important to be practical in matters such as these. Surely Jesus told us to avoid certain things because he understood the mechanics of life and exactly how the soul will be "consumed by the lion."
Jesus said, "Fortunate is the man who knows where the brigands will enter, so that he may get up, muster his domain, and arm himself before they invade."
Masturbation is not recommended. It's detrimental to our spiritual health because it wastes the vital sexual energy, which is absolutely necessary to stabilize the various chakras of the human vehicle (the seven churches of the Apocalypse of St. John). By spreading this energy thin, we are inviting the terrible beast, Lust, to a feast.
What happens after we eat a good meal? We have more energy. More energy means more strength. The stronger a man is, the more difficult it will be to subdue him in combat. Would a wise warrior make his opponents stronger before battle?
Are you willing to accept that the desire to have an orgasm is a devil working through the human vehicle? That's the truth, whether we choose to accept it or not.
It's very easy to fornicate inside of a marriage. Just look at how many divorces there are in so-called Christian marriages. If we are constantly gratifying our own sexual desires, even inside of a monogamous relationship, we continue to feed lust, and we will not enter the kingdom.
However, sex is essential to realizing our true being. When we were told to "go forth and multiply" it was in a spiritual sense. Those who come to the light will inevitably bring others with them. It is through perfectly chaste sex with a partner devoted to the Lord's work that we will wake our Divine Mother Kundalini, Mother Mary, and give her the power to destroy the sins that have bound our souls to this world.
Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty."
