The body must be trained to transmute since it is accustomed to fornication. Be patient with yourself.
Okay thanks. Yes, I agree. My body must be trained to transmute.
Avoid eating too much red meat if you cannot transmute its Tejas or fire element.
Okay thanks, I will be more mindful of that.
Have you worked with the melon seed medicine?
I have tried it a couple times, but I find that the effects only last about 2 to 3 hours, and I don't think that would be sufficient since I often have nocturnal emissions further into the night than 3 hours. My energy starts to flow upwards while the effect is working but then that same energy seems to go back down once it wears off. Once that energy goes up, does it transmute and stay transmuted, or can it return back down and cause me to fornicate? Because if that's the case, then maybe I just have excessive energy from eating too much.
Thanks for the response. But can you please elaborate more on the following:
Is it easier to stay free of wet dreams the longer you have gone without them, and if so, why is that the case?
I think I read somewhere on this website that once you develop compassion, your energy will be flowing in the upward or centripetal direction and you will become immune to wet dreams. Is compassion, i.e. the direction of the flow of our energy, the only influential factor that we should concern ourselves with, or should we continue to regulate the quantity and quality of the food that we eat
even once we have developed compassion (our energy is flowing in the right direction) and have gone a long time without wet dreams?
Another similar question that I have is this:
Suppose that our energy is already flowing in the right direction, in a centripetal manner, and we eat a bunch of red meat or garlic or spicy food or we stuff ourselves to the point of being full before going to sleep. Supposing that our energy is already flowing in the centripetal direction, would there still be the need to be mindful of those eating habits, or does the transmutation happen on its own at that point?
And another important question that I have is this:
If our energy is flowing in the centripetal direction during the day, is it possible that it could shift to the centrifugal direction during our sleep and in our dreams? And if that's the case, then wouldn't it be correct to say that we are not really safe from wet dreams until we can be sure that our energy is flowing centripetally even in our sleep and dreams?
And yet another question that came up for me is this (sorry):
Is it still possible to have wet dreams (even if no semen comes out) while we are fasting? I am asking this because I have been trying to regulate my diet to avoid wet dreams. But last night I had an orgasm in which no semen came out, but I know for certain that it was an orgasm. It wasn't accompanied by any lustful thoughts, but It may have been caused by my body just being accustomed to having that energy go downwards/centrifugally. And I was wondering if these orgasms can be avoided by depriving myself of excessive energy that I get from eating food. If that's the case, then I can just eat less at night, or skip the last meal of the day.
My long term goal is to have my energy flowing centripetally 24/7, but I find that it's difficult to reach that point, especially in the days following a nocturnal orgasm since I find that my energy is constantly flowing in the downwards direction. And so, in the meantime, can I prevent these involuntary, nocturnal orgasms by regulating the amount of energy that I have, ie. by fasting more austerely before going to sleep? Or is it ONLY a matter of the direction or perhaps equanimity of the flow of energy?
