Ok, I flunked the cute monk test. I also flunked the not-so-cute but
somewhat witty monk test.
About six months ago I thought I was on the road to celibacy. I had begun
to appreciate the stablization of physical and emotional energies that
accompany celibacy and seem to "ease" spiritual growth. Then, whether
back-sliding or boredom, I put out a call in the astral realm and ended up
conjuring up a fire elemental (well, if he's not completely a fire
elemental, he's possessed by one or at least channeling elemental fire
energy). Well, eventually I got bored with the excessive fire elemental
sex games, but rekindled my interest in the left-hand path, P.B. Randolph
and the like. I think I might have to wait for menopause before I can
conquer this one, without just fooling myself.
Just a word from the lower part of the bell curve..in this episode of
theos-talk True Confessions......
