Sometimes it is funny for me how people try to live in old beliefs and times which just don’t fit into modern life situations. Some people try to adapt those beliefs or try to change and modify it to fit to the mind of modern people. Like this I have heard of a 6 months course in India for becoming Brahmachari. Isn’t that funny to hear? Last week I wrote about how the real meaning, the being one with the united soul, and how it is nowadays just used for a person living in celibate. If Brahmacharya is celibacy, what exactly do they teach in a course of Brahmacharya?
This I got to know from a woman who told me she was in India for this course. Funnily enough I met another woman later who had a baby from the course leader himself, a Guru who calls himself celibate.
And one more word which I often hear people say to a celibate person is ‘Bal Brahmachari’. Bal means child so it refers to a person who is celibate from birth until today and celibate for these people means no sexual feelings. How can you say this? I wrote about this the other day and again I say that sexual feelings are just natural and this is how children also have them, they are just there. But children’s feelings are innocent. When an adult person raises his sexual feelings, he has an object in his mind. He is aroused by one person. But children have sexual feelings just without any aim. Is the title Bal Brahmachari now something greater title than just Brahmachari? Actually I feel that it will be more difficult for those who have already enjoyed, shouldn’t they be the better Brahmacharis?

I am practicing celibacy and I don't think you can understand what it's all about until you do it. Give it a try, if you've got the balls.

@Dejay: I think you have difficulties to find a woman for yourself that's why you got the idea to practice celibacy. Ha ha ha ha. Otherwise why would anybody like to practice this stupid unnatural practice? I have got the balls and know how to keep them happy.

Celibacy... There is almost an endless amount of shame and pain attached to sex. Trying to take vows of celibacy, to me, seem like after affects of that. Sex has become an over-complicated power struggle. People try to regulate it and tell you how to feel about it. There are very loud forces telling you sex is shameful and bad, but there are also loud forces telling you to almost pimp yourself out so you don't get lost in the social shuffle. Too many forces. It is a shame, I think it is at least. Many people worry about sexual things for a good portion of their lives. I think celibacy pledges are people running from the confusion and the pressure.

If you only drink in company but don't want to, realize that this urge comes from outside. Why is the outside controlling you and brings you into a situation that you don’t want? Be strong in yourself.
SourceThe Catholic Church does not want to give the healing benefit of their saints to people of other faith! They want to get as many followers themselves, so if you are sick, you will only be healed by a Catholic Saint if you are Catholic!
SourceEvery Non-Believer is too stupid to understand Religion! – Really?
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t take bribes from praying criminals and doesn’t encourage them by giving them success.
SourceYou want to live in guilt. If you do not want to, you can come out of it. You can just leave it and decide not to be in guilt. But being in this feeling is easier than making the decision of not being in guilt.
SourceIf you want to follow a Guru, a master, a sect leader or any kind of belief, don’t have your children affected, too! Give your children the possibility to decide themselves. Show them the normal world, let them develop properly with the full capacity of their mind to be critical, to think about everything themselves and with full emotional abilities, too! Give your child the freedom and the possibility of a healthy, normal lifestyle.
SourceIt is impossible to be ‘religious but not superstitious’ because religious scriptures are full of superstition. You cannot separate superstition from religion, its origin. It as a positive sign though, if you think this much - you have taken the first step!
SourceToo many people just say they trust in God and his actions – but if you want to reach somewhere and do something in life, you need to act yourself! It does not help to just sit there and have faith. Lose your faith, get out of your chair and out into the real world!
SourcePlease do not hurt others by saying what you do not mean! Don't think you can finish a relationships from one day to the other! It will not let you come to peace!
SourceWhy do we kill the joy of the presence with thinking of the past or worrying about the future?
SourceDon’t bring business talk everywhere. Stop it, at the latest when you go into the bedroom. No business is allowed there anymore, just love and the relationship of you and your partner.
SourceReligions tell women that they have to cover their heads and even faces with a veil or a burqa because men could get aroused by seeing their faces and imagining a vagina.
SourceSharing has a double effect: it decreases sadness and increases happiness!
SourceDoes a mother need a rosary to remember her child? Does a wife need to sit in a certain pose or condition to think of her husband? If love is there, you don’t need to do any effort for meditation, it takes place itself. You won’t find God, who is love, with rituals, ceremonies and donations but with love.
SourceDon’t seek God in religious icons or figures. God is love and lives in our heart. If you, in a prayer or mantra, mention the name Jesus, Ram or also Hanuman, it doesn’t mean that you specify a religion you are praying to. You have God in your heart, no matter which name you say with your tongue.
SourceLong-term partners or married couples: feelings are more important than a paper or rituals!
SourceThe fact that millions of people follow something is no proof that this action is good. Many people followed Hitler, too, but you cannot say that he was right!
SourceSuperstitious people let superstition rule their complete lives! The funny thing is that they won’t even notice while a non-believer watching them will think they have completely lost their minds!
SourceIf you did a mistake, the first part of the solution is already that you realize it and then accept it. Don't try to find an excuse but turn around and walk the other way. Simply, honestly accept that you made a mistake and for the future commit to live an honest life which doesn’t cause pain for others and later for yourself.
SourceWhy is a woman’s virginity or her sexual purity called her honour?
