Hello, there. Hello, Almustafa, and all the other instructors. I would like to ask some questions, if I may.
Fatigue question:
I have been experiencing fatigue that does not go away easily. I don't know the cause, but I have a feeling that it may be because of not enough Ojas, or kundalini energy traveling up my spine. I have wet dreams ever so often. Maybe like once every 3 weeks. But sometimes I suspect that I might be having them more often, as I am often unaware when they happen (I'm talking about the non-ejaculatory kind). If one is having orgasms frequently, say like once a week, is it typical for the body and mind to experience an overwhelming fatigue throughout the day, as I am? Sometimes the only thing that I can do is just lie in bed. I get like 8 hours of sleep every day, but I constantly feel out of breath and stressed out. I also exercise regularly, but it doesn't make a difference.
Should I continue to improve my chastity and just stay with the fatigue until it goes away? Or should I see my doctor? I already went to see a doctor about this fatigue once, but they couldn't find anything wrong with me. But maybe I should go back. It feels like I have the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. So my first main question would be: 1) Could this be a matter of my lack of chastity, or does that not play a role here?
Personal Will question:
I have also been studying about the "letting go of the personal will" and in the teaching, they say that you don't have to move or make any decisions because eventually consciousness will move the body and make decisions of it's own accord.
Many spiritual teachers have talked about this letting go of the personal will. Adyashanti, David Deida, Mooji, etc.
Here is a nice example of Mooji talking about it on YouTube
Right now I'm not working and have some free time do test this theory. But I was wanting to get a second opinion about it from your teachings. I have read Christ's Will and in it SAW emphasizes the virtue of patience and he describes a period in which one waits for "Christ's Will" to happen. Is this an accurate interpretation of the teaching? Does consciousness really start to make decisions for oneself if one waits for long enough? Many teachers have said that this is the key to happiness: letting go of the personal will. I have somewhat been trying to do this but it's difficult because it's tempting for my mind to just do something entertaining or "productive." But another reason why I don't do it is because I don't really know if I should trust these guys, or if I am misunderstanding the teaching. Obviously, you can only speak on behalf of the gnostic teachings. But I sense that you guys also understand this teaching. And so I guess my question is: Is it true that if I sit and be still for long enough, (and provided that I maintain my chastity) that "Christ's Will" will start to take over my life to the extent that it will move my body without me having to make decisions? And could the reason why I'm constantly fatigued and stressed is because I am not already doing this, and most people are? And is it a good idea to wait for that to happen, or is it too impractical, or is there a balance to be had with this???
Any feedback is appreciated. My sincere gratitude goes out to these teachings.
