Sexual Transmutation ?

37 replies
In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill talks about
sexual transmutation.

The chapter is a little bit hard to understand...it
also doesnt really explain how it all works.

How do you transmit sexual energy into fuel for
personal achievement?

Have you ever tried it? Does it work for you?

    I didn't like this chapter either - one element of it is saying don't have sex, or at least not too much sex - it will waste your energy.. and I think it is true that after sex you are drained and not really that productive....

    I love think and grow rich, but I think there are soo many different themes within the book that it is best to take what works for you and discard what doesn't - this persoanlly doesn't gel with my way of life.. and I know plenty of successful people who have regular and active sex lives so I don't consider it essential personally...

      I don't think he is trying to say don't have sex I think its more about if you're not having sex but still have the high sex drive then put that otherwise wasted energy to some good use.

      Also after sex, personally I am at an all time high, I feel more energetic after sex than any other time, more motivated and more focused.

        I just sleep generally - I'm nearly 27 tho, getting past it now

        I think it really does work though generally, isn't it similar to the "Stalin Method" which Napoleon also used to use (don't quote me this might be a myth), but they used to masturbate but not climax before important events / battles, and use this energy to fuel them... still, I would rather use my sex energy for sex... there have got to be other ways to be successful

          Ha 27 is hardly past it dude!

          Yeah I totally believe in it, I can definitely tell it works. Hmm I could really believe that the masturbation thing would work since it does give you an energy increase up until climax, I think that would work definitely.

          It's weird the things they used to do for war, greeks are the worst with their gay partnerships so if one of them died in battle the other would feel a higher sense of emotions and go all out on the enemy...

            I never knew that, bit twisted, but yeh probably effective.. Was it the Romans who made the front row of their infantry behead themselves to scare the enemy..? (Just some knowledge I can only half remember from an episode of QI ) I could see that being very intimidating too.. but this is probably getting off topic

      Or...you could just learn how to control your dick guys....

      Ejaculating often is bad for you...regularly circulating your sexual energy through your body is incredibly healthy...I do it daily...not through masturbating but through concentrating on my energy systems and channels.

        Here, I believe that Napoleon talks about what Freud called Libido, or the forsce of our instincts (in this case specifically the sex drive), which needs to be either expressed or sublimated into another form, in this particular instance into another creative activity.

        Another thing which this may be related to is the tantric belief that prana is lost in the semen, and that by retaining semen, it is possible to increase your own vitality.

          Napoleon simply means sexual desire is the no1 mind stimuli. When your mind is vibrating at this higher level of vibration you become more creative and focused, have more will power and ideas etc etc.

          The idea is to boost your sex drive to high levels and when you are thinking about sex and when you are really turned on switch your thoughts to your business goals and how you can solve problems, grow and expand.

          When your mind is stimulated at this high level you get hunches and ideas you would not normally get (on a lower vibration of thought.)

    I finished reading this book about two weeks ago and before I finished reading it I already knew I could do this and was doing this daily.

    Basically, I am 20 years old so in my prime for sexual energy and I used to never be able to take my mind of sex or stop having sex ;P

    However with my changed view on relationships and everything else, long story short I began to realise that this energy could be fuelled in to different actions not just sex. I started to stop constantly thinking about sex and just relax and use this time and energy to analyse my past experiences, plan my future and help achieve my goals in life. But heck, that doesn't mean I have stopped having sex, I think what Napoleon was trying to say was to use the energy if not used for having sex in other ways, otherwise its wasted.

    This energy has now been transformed in to a more focused energy which helps me to achieve something daily which will in effect help me to achieve my overall goals in life.

    It is very interesting how Napoleon explains sexual transmutation and I totally believe in it, tested it and it works however I think you need to have a high sex drive and you need to have fulfilled many of your wants.

    Just my 2 pennies anyway

    I was wondering about this as well, BillMarket. The Sexual Transmutation chapter is the place where I put TAGR down and decide that I've finished the book.

    I imagine Hill is saying that if you could go after goals with the same lust that you go after girls, you'd be a millionaire by next Tuesday. But quite how you achieve this is a mystery to me...

    Think and Grow Rich teaches no real techniques
    regarding these practices. I do not think he really
    knew that much about it though he did notice that
    high-achievers seem to figure it out on their own
    as they enter middle age.

    You will discover specific methods if you study Yoga or
    ChiKung. In Yoga the practice starts with "Moola Bahnda" -
    in ChiKung and other martial arts it has different
    names, but it is all very similar.

    A Kundalini yoga teacher will be able to teach it to
    you, but the practice is not without risks the way the
    Kundalini people teach it. In my opinion the ChiKung
    methods are safer. Both, if done correctly, will take
    you to the same place.

    Moolah Bandha is also sort of alluded to in the Master
    Key system, though though author didn't seem to know
    enough about anatomy to teach it. He places the primary
    power center (as I recall) in the solar plexus. In the
    Chinese system it's actually a little lower.

    Mula Bandha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I first learned the practice studying yoga. The above
    link refers to the BKS Iyengar book "Light on Yoga"
    which is a dry yoga text by today's full-color standards,
    but very scientific and covers hundreds of exercises.
    The author explains Moolah Bandha well too.

    If you take a yoga class teaching: flow, Iyengar, Ashtanga,
    or Vinyassa, plus many other styles - ask the teacher
    about Moola Bandha and if s/he is any kind of real
    practitioner of yoga the s/he will have some insight
    on it. If you tell the teacher right off you want to explore
    the practice he or she will probably introduce it to you
    at an earlier stage in learning, which is fine. I feel it's
    the first thing that should be taught because it's mastery
    is so fundamental to all internal alchemy.

    I studied ChiKung in the Universal Tao school of Mantak
    Chia - you can find teachers here and there. They all
    will be familiar with the practice but some may not know
    the Sanskrit term for it if they've never studied Indian
    yoga forms.

    I read Think and Grow Rich in 2005 and the first chapter I randomly opened the book up to was The Mystery of Sex transmutation. This chapter changed my direction in life, it changed my relationship, it inspired me to create my business and write a book. I have expended Hill's one chapter of The Mystry of Sex Transmutation into a whole book: The Currency of Sexual Energy, The art of Sexual Transmutation by Y.S de Jong.

    Sex Transmutation is the most fun and exciting concepts since the invention of sex itself. I think a lot of people are put off by the term 'Transmutation'. It is not about abstinence or restraining yourself. It is about building your energy through sexual activity and then transforming sexual energy into productive energy and creativity. The transforming part is quite effortless actually.

    For me, when I am aroused I become incredibly creative and inspired. I have written most of my book in an aroused state. I have had most of my break through inspirations after orgasm. By the way I am female so I usually can not stop at one orgasm and the more I have the more energy I build and the more inspirations that flows through me. This is not limited to women. Men can use orgasmic energy in the same way. They can also experience mulit-orgasmic states.

    Google Neo Tantra Massage Melbourne and you will find me.
    Cheers,

      If I remember correctly he says the same energy can be derived from substance use. I'm not completely sure it was the same chapter but I know he talks about drug use as a means to increase your capacity. But he also says that it is one of the primary things holding people back.

      Here it is:
      The stimuli to which the mind responds most freely are:
      Sex Expression
      Love
      Burning Desire for fame, power, or financial gain, MONEY
      Music
      Friendship
      Master Mind Alliance between two or more people who ally themselves for spiritual or temporal advancement
      Mutual suffering such as that experience by people who are persecuted
      auto suggestion
      fear
      narcotics and alcohol

      History is not lacking in examples of men who attained to the status of genii, as the result of the use of artificial mind stimulants in the form of alcohol or
      narcotics

      Every intelligent person knows that stimulation in excess, through alcoholic drink and narcotics, is a form of intemperance which destroys the vital organs of the body, including the brain. Not every person knows, however, that over indulgence in sex expression may become a habit as destructive and as detrimental to creative effort as narcotics or liquor.

      It really is hard to understand the chapter on sex transmutation. In one place he says it's the greatest form of creative energy and then you get the above statement.
      In my experience, human beings have a hard time controlling pleasant feelings. Thus the disease of alcoholism and addiction.

      I guess finding the middle ground is what you're supposed to do. Going to be challenging for me!

        We live in a society of over stimulation in all areas. With the internet and excess of pornography available, sexual over stimulation is certainly creating a dis-ease as detrimental as alcoholism. Over use of pornography can actually lead to impotence due to ever stimulation of the neuro-chemicals in the brain affecting neural pathways, so just like a heroine addict, more has less effect.

        Nature has a natural law of balance. Our natural sexual energy is very powerful and creative as long as we do not interrupt this balance with over stimulation. The balance for our sexual energy is a chemical derived from touch and hugs called Oxytocin. This is the methodone for the heroine - loving touch.

        Naploeon Hill mentions that men over 40 seem to have the sexual transmutation mastered better because of a few factors and the main one being the love of a good woman. Nature is balance. Feminine balances masculine. The female brings touch, love and oxytocin - the balancing factor to a high sex drive.

        If you feel frustrated by your sex drive it may be that it needs balancing with oxytocin - loving touch. Even in a relationship, if your sex life is hard, fast and passionate, the lack of oxytocin will create an imbalance.

        Hope this sheds some light for you Jacob so that the challenge becomes easier,

        Cheers,

          It really is hard to understand the chapter on sex transmutation.
          Remember the book was first published in the late 30's and there were those who believed strongly that abstaining from sex could make you stronger as you would redirect that "energy" into what you were doing.

          Athletes come to mind - abstaining before a game or competition was often recommended back then to "increase your strength". The thought (which was also considered scientific) was if you did not abstain, you would be weakened.

          I think you may need that perspective to understand the chapter. When you are reading a book written 70 years ago not everything will make total sense.

    I think he was talking about the natural process. When people gets older their sexual energy gets more evolved into creative / expressive direction.

    There are several really good books on this

    One is The Way of The Superior Man by David Deida(sp)

    Also, Mantak Chia puts out some good books on this

    The basic idea is that sexual energy is the most powerful energy on the planet and that when a fella releases...well, he releases a lot of powerful energy that can be used to other pursuits

    Frequent "releasing" also ages you according to chinese medicine...and it makes sense

    In the context of this discussion, David Deida says it best that frequent "releasing" robs us men of that cutting through energy that is required to go from mediocre to great

    And frequent releasing leads to mediocrity

    So the ancient Chinese had a system where you could preserve the sexual energy and still have mulitple male orgasms

    To them, it is a health system...and this system was required for the emperors to please their harems

    They call it Sexual Kung Fu(Kung Fu means practice, not Kung Fu Fighting lol)

    It is interesting to note that while the Ancient Chinese came up with this system, the Ancient Indians came up with their system of Tantra...and their method for preserving sexual energy while still being able to orgasm(multiple times) is extremely similiar

    Anyhow, its an interesting topic and one that most men should look into for self improvement

    Napolean Hill was correct...he just didn't give much practical advise

      Interesting thread. Sex energy is basically what was also called in the old days, magnetism, or as some have mentioned, chi, prana, life force energy. Definitely this energy can be transmuted, it can be enhanced, with awareness of it and meditative visualization. If you relax and focus, you can imagine yourself breathing this energy in, filling yourself up with it, and circulating it through your body. This actually will charge you up with magnetism and you will notice that people will become more attracted to you in the days after doing this. Simply concentrate on it, imagine it, and it happens. You can use this energy for anything you want, so, I'd guess this is related to Napoleon Hill talking about transmutation of sexual energy... actually some people who practice magic also use sexual energy to charge their magic, as I've read. So it would be the same kind of thing to consciously use your magnetism to charge up your goals, intentions and dreams for your life, no magic necessary.

    I believe many people naturally learn how to transmute sex energy around the age of 35 or after.

    However if you are really serious about, its possible to achieve this skill much earlier, though I still don;t know how it can be done after reading tones of material. It seems many methods might work, its just what really will work for you is the major question.

    Ladies and gentlemen,
    you are all way off track. The technique is an ancient one which has been kept secret for a long time. Even Napoleon Hill wasn't game to come right out and say it. Even the Great Beast Aleister Crowley hid it deep inside his most esoteric writings.
    Let's go to to the basis of the Law of Attraction first...
    You create mental images of the things you desire to come into your life. You charge these mental objects with Desire and Excitment.
    When, may I ask, are you at your most desirous and excited? Let me answer that for you. At the moment of Orgasm. That's the time to hold your mental images at the forefront of your mind. That's how to achieve Sexual Transmutation.
    Now... I challenge you. Try to do that during your next orgasm. Almost bloody impossible!
    A more relaxed way is to Use Mind Movies.
    Ryan Higgins from Australia has come up with a way to accelerate the manifestation process. Check it out. It's easier than trying to harness an orgasm and almost as much fun.

      Let's go to to the basis of the Law of Attraction first...
      You create mental images of the things you desire to come into your life. You charge these mental objects with Desire and Excitment.
      When, may I ask, are you at your most desirous and excited? Let me answer that for you. At the moment of Orgasm. That's the time to hold your mental images at the forefront of your mind. That's how to achieve Sexual Transmutation.
      In The Currency of Sexual Energy, the art of sexual transmutation, the main techniques are covered including the secret of the subconscious mind. Inspired sexual transmutation is a process of re-programming the subconscious mind. On a spiritual level it goes deeper than holding what you want in your mind and why using desire will probably work in the opposite to what you want.

      Napoleon talks about "dissipating energies". Losing sexual energy through ejaculation has a very simple hormonal explanation that we now understand with our scientific and medical research (which he didn't have in 1937)

      Sexual Transmutation
      Chapter 11 of Think and Grow Rich

      So what was Napoleon Hill talking about in chapter 11?

      Napoleon Hill undertook the task of studying the most successful men in his time over a period of 25 years before writing 'Think and Grow Rich'. He made these statements in his book, in chapter 11, Sex Transmutation.

      "1. The men of greatest achievement are men with highly developed sex natures; men who have learned the art of sex transmutation.
      2. The men who have accumulated great fortunes and achieved outstanding recognition in literature, art, industry, architecture, and the professions, were motivated by the influence of a woman.

      His statement points out that it is not just having a high sex drive, but knowing how to use it. Sexual desire is the most motivating emotion to man. We think we are rational beings but emotion is stronger than rational thinking. How do you persuade someone? Through emotion, by targeting someone's heart. By knowing what 'pulls their strings". Emotions stimulate powerful chemicals in our body. Biology is pretty hard to override.

      Chemicals can be mind controlling whether they are natural or synthetic. Our sexual hormones and chemicals can be as powerful as heroine and morphine. Modern scientists have compared the brain tomography of an orgasm to shooting up heroine. We have seen the affects that drugs and heroine have on our youth and society, so that comparison is a startling discovery that our own bodies can produce natural chemicals and powerful and controlling as an illicit illegal street drug responsible for ruining lives and increasing crime rates.

      So the bottom line is, if we don't control our sexual hormones, then our hormones will control us. So how do we control and override nature? Napoleons book focuses on self development and the power of the mind. The key is learning to control our mind which will enable us to gain more control over our emotions and biology.

      Napoleon, being a man, and because of the social structure back in 1937 when he published Think and Grow Rich, focuses on men and successful men. I am a woman so I will cover sexual transmutation for both sexes. For the moment though, let's continue analysing what Napoleon Hill discovered about the male sex drive. His second point listed, mentions the influence of a woman.

      2. The men who have accumulated great fortunes and achieved outstanding recognition in literature, art, industry, architecture, and the professions, were motivated by the influence of a woman.

      Is this the origin of the saying, "behind every great man is a great woman"? A woman provides love, support, inspiration, and a sexual outlet, a hormonal balancer, an emotional balancer. Add a woman into the equation and less time and energy is wasted seeking sexual gratification but there still must be more to the equation.

      Many unsuccessful men have female partners. Marriages today do not have a great success rate. There must be more to it than having a great relationship. What affect does a female have on the male biology and hormonal system? If a man is able to 'dissipate his energy' more regularly because he is in a relationship, then you would think that he would have less drive to focus into being successful.

      The research from which these astounding discoveries were made, went back through the pages of biography and history for more than two thousand years. Wherever there was evidence available in connection with the lives of men and women of great achievement, it indicated most convincingly that they possessed highly developed sex natures."

      No man can avail himself of the forces of his creative imagination, while dissipating them. Man is the only creature on earth which violates Nature's purpose in this connection. Every other animal responds to the call of sex only in "season." Man's inclination is to declare "open season."... The lives of many reflect a continued dissipation of energies, which could have been more profitably turned into better channels. Their finer and more powerful emotions are sown wildly to the four winds.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,
    you are all on the wrong track entirely. Napoleon Hill wasn't game to give the secret away. Even the Great Beast, Aleister Crowley hid it in the depths of his most esoteric writings.
    Let's look at the basic ideas of manifesting one's desires using the power of concentrated thought.
    As I understand it one should create mind objects of the things one wants to manifest. These thought patterns should be charged with Desire and Energy to most effectively be brought into existence.
    Am I right here?
    When are we most consumed with Energy and Desire?
    Let me answer that for you. At the moment of orgasm.
    That's the point when you should hold in the forefront of your mind what you want to manifest.
    That's how to transmute Sexual Energy.
    Now, I offer you a challenge. Try it. Try to think of what you want to manifest when "the earth is moving for you"
    Good luck. It's virtually impossible.
    A much easier method is to utilise a new discovery by an Australian guy, Ryan Higgins. He calls it "Mind Movies".
    Check it out.

      How does someone with five posts get a sig anyways? Never mind - I just discovered that there doesn't seem to be a post limit for adding sigs.

    The energy and power one puts into having sex with girls especially when they proved difficult should be put into business and one is soaring high. some are ready to spend their last penny on women they are advised to just re-invest their money. women are great but they should not be pursued hard.

    I think its much simpler than that as you get older ( I am 48) the need for sex is not as important and you spend your time focusing on more important things.

    When you are younger you spend most of your time running around bars and coming up with creative ways to get laid. You put a lot of creative energy and work into this activity.

    When you get older you get wise you learn most women are crazy and sex isn't what its cracked out to be. You settle down and your priorities change. Plus when you get to a certain age all your experience starts to get organized unonsciously in such a way that you are more powerful in that you can benefit and apply that experience across the board.

    I think its really that simple.

    >>>>2. The men who have accumulated great fortunes and achieved outstanding recognition in literature, art, industry, architecture, and the professions, were motivated by the influence of a woman<<<<

    I think that has to be the biggest piece of crap Ive ever read. Im sure it works same way for successful women. I doubt they need to be influenced by a man.

    As for ejaculation, everything in moderation is good for you. Too much eating, drinking, sleeping or work is bad for you. Too little is bad for you. its the same with ejaculation.

    Very interesting takes from all of you guys. : )

    He defines sex transmutation as switching of the mind from thoughts of physical expression, to thoughts of some other nature.

    I believe the other thing that Napoleon Hill talks about in Chapter 11 - Sex Transmutation is that Sex Desire is the most powerful desire of all human desires and that when MEN are driven by this desire they develop keenness of imagination, courage, will-power, persistence, and creative ability unknown to them at other times.

    He talks about scientific research showing that men of greatest achievement are men with highly developed sex natures; men who have learned the art of sex transmutation and that the men who have accumulated great fortunes and achieved outstanding recognition in literature, art, industry, architecture, and the professions, were motivated by the influence of a woman.

    So then my question is how many of you men, agree that you were motivated by a WOMAN??? : )
