Sex Sells

>

In his book Feel and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill devoted an entire chapter to "The Mystery of Sex Transmutation". Regarded as a classic wealth and good results book, much of the focus and application of the philosophies and techniques quoted come from almost any chapter BUT chapter 11.

There seems to be no doubt that sex sells. Advertisers and marketers use sex everywhere probable and acceptable to sell.

Prostitution is known as the oldest profession. But is it probable that on some level we are all prostitutes. Is sex our greatest asset when it comes to finding ahead?

Let's appear at what Napoleon Hill basically stated and what scientific or anecdotal evidence there could possibly be for his tips.

Hill's claims about Sex Transmutation:

• sexual power is the strongest, and most potent of all human emotions
  
• sexual energy can transform mediocrity into genius when it is transmuted, that is changed from one element or form of power to a further
  
• men of greatest achievement are males with highly created sex natures
  
• genius is created by way of the sixth sense, which is activated by stimulating one's mind so that it vibrates on a greater plane
  
• once transmuted sexual power can stimulate the mind to vibrate on a greater plane
  
• it is not simply the possession of sex energy that creates a genius, but the transmutation of it from the desire for physical satisfaction to a greater form
  
• individual magnetism is entirely related to sexual energy

For our largely left brain, logical society these will be rather grand and extraordinary claims. Victorian values around sex are nonetheless prevalent and most organization people today would likely state that sex has no location in the workplace.

Hill would agree that sex has no location in business but what Hill was referring to was not sexual arousal and the satisfaction of base urges, Hill spoke of sexual power or the emotion of sex.

It is undisputable that sex is a potent driving force. It will drive males and ladies to take massive risks of credibility or reputation. There should be one thing much more to this than a easy orgasm? So what is this effective force and how can you turn it from something destructive to something creative?

Hill suggested the thing to do was to transmute sexual arousal into a higher form of energy or vibration. But nowhere does Hill explain exactly HOW one transmutes sexual energy. What is the mechanism or approach that 1 utilizes to change raw lust or physical expression into creative genius.

Investigation led me to the field of esoterics and tantra. Despite the fact that I studied tantra as component of my individual journey to have an understanding of the human condition, tantra gives the clearest explanation of how to transmute sexual power to a "higher vibration".

Made use of as a route to spiritual enlightenment, tantra focuses its philosophy on "the transmutation of sexual power". It claims that when sexual arousal (lust) is transmuted into a higher vibration form of energy that it can activate intuition, higher forms of thought and creative genius. It also offers spiritual enlightenment and communion with the spiritual realms. The promises of tantric transmutation are identical to Hill's.

These approaches are typically shrouded in mystery and regularly only passed on to selected initiates. It is appears most likely that Hill was privy to these tactics, or at least knew OF them even if he didn't practice them.

It is most likely that Hill did not reveal the specifics of the techniques in his books simply because, even today, they are extremely controversial.

Even now a practice that involves masturbation or sex for any other purpose than the currently accepted reasons would provoke controversy. Even though a deeper investigation of the approaches will reveal that they make a clear distinction among sexual "power" and sexual arousal. 1 does not necessarily lead to the other.

Tantrikas (initiates of tantra) are generally highly restrained in their sexual practises as they believe promiscuity would lead to a loss of sexual power and thus there would be much less to transmute. So tantra appears to deliver the ultimate in safe sex.

But what of the other claims, of the capability to stimulate the genius mind and activate intuition, how true are these claims? As a scientist I have to first state that no investigation studies exist that prove or disprove these claims, all evidence is anecdotal. Then again, also as a scientist until some thing has been disproved we have to permit for the possibility that it may possibly be accurate.

The claims contain, elevated feelings of wellbeing, improved confidence, clarity of believed, productivity, well being and even weight shed. Research on the effects of meditation show comparable effects, despite the fact that the effects of tantric practices appear to happen alot more rapidly, and to a greater extent. Sort of supercharged meditation.

It seems Napoleon Hill may possibly just have been on to one thing. But some thing that was practically taboo when he first published this, and remains controversial to this day. Nonetheless if you are open minded and willing to experiment, it may well just make a big impact on your life. I say to my students "Absolutely nothing I say is the 'truth' but neither is it a lie. These are absolutely nothing even more than models that you can experiment with. If they work, Wonderful, if they do not Great, try one thing else." Get pleasure from experimenting, it's what scientists do.

For the initially time ever you can learn the secrets of internal alchemy outside of a religious or spiritual order. You will not want to go by means of years of preparation or study, nor will you will need years of martial arts training.
