Ken, Thank-you for your reply. I fully agree with you. Ultimately there is
only experience and when I am fully ultimate I will stop asking these
foolish questions.

useful purpose.
But masturbation is an expression of self-love. I say this in all
seriousness. There is purpose in masturbation. It helps me know and love
myself. This is true for sexual and mental forms of the art.

Yes, but did you notice that you just asked the same question? How does it
fit into the whole?

How does it affect how I behave? Why should I be kind to someone in traffic
just because I had an experience of mind blowing bliss? And yes I know I am
being deliberately obtuse. I am kinder as a result of the experience as long
as I have a framework where the experience generates increased kindness.
There are many who have had experiences of God who have turned into
justifications for acts of violence and self-importance.
Chris
