  What I see you both saying and what I have experienced with celibacy 
is that the NEED lessens or there is a conscious choice to redirect it 
towards the higher centers. As Chris worded it,, A communion of 
consciousness. A "living in the crown", which is the outcome once the 
life is directed there.There's two different types of letters I am 
reading here.One is clearing the lower chakras then opening and living 
in the heart,then proceeding towards the crown and the other appears to 
be living in and using the sexual centers for a boost of bliss.I don't 
think they are the same, as where you mention Mother Theresa and 
Ghandi.I read Ghandi. I read that he used to have women lie on either 
side of him over night so he could pratice controlling himself.I know 
that I praticed and achieved sucess. Someone questioned if the K were 
more active after abstinence. In the beginning pratices, definitely so. 
But after an extended period of celibacy things change. Celibacy is the 
outcome but the K is just as wonderful but seems to take on a different 
quality. I don't know how to word it and I have not seen it written 
about but for me, Shiva/Shati , Spirit/Matter,,,,,,,Shiva spiritualizes 
matter. Matter is altered from its constant contact with Shiva, because 
at this point it is not a response from the sex boost, but rather Spirit 
is on a low hum all through the matter of the higher chakras. Does it 
sound silly to say, they recieve the orgasm. From experiencing years of 
3rd eye flutterings and humming and delights in the crown, I don't think 
so. Spirit ciculates though all the centers but because the lower 
centers have been changed into a finer form,something,,,,(I don't know 
how else to word it)they are not overwhelmed or highly activated 
anymore. And because the higher centers become accustomed to the Spirit 
vibration they can stay in that vibration longer and longer. 
  I know what I mean just not sure the wording is coming across.

the

  I agree also.....but once the lower has been worked out then it is 
time to start climbing upward,evolution, yes? 
Blessings to all,
