sevaka v0.13: On Semen
When one releases their semen independent of their partner there is a loss of energy. Semen when released with a partner has a positive energy. A reason around this seems that semen released with a partner has a benefit of using the energy for the intended purpose of procreation. Creation has a positive energy.
Using semen and releasing it otherwise has a negative energy as the use of the semen is not for creation purposes. It does not push you to a higher plane. It keeps you at the plane that you are in or pulls you down when you are at a higher state. So semen seems to play a role in Sadhana as one needs to preserve it and store its energy for going to higher planes. If released without a partner you are pulled down to the lower planes.
Furthermore, the production of semen is a long process requiring a lot of energy and the release of this semen itself is a large source of energy expenditure.
A person should use the energy that is store in semen which is at the base that moves up the spine through the chakras of the kundalini for spiritual purposes or procreative purposes. The semen itself becomes a store of energy. When it is not being lowered by purposeless release can add energy through the spine awakening a person spiritually.
So semen used for procreation has positive energy and energy used by preserving semen has positive spiritual energy. Otherwise, semen wasted does not provide a benefit and is like throwing away a store of energy, like a battery. It has to be recharged. Because of this it makes you tired and irritable as your body has to use a significant portion of its energy on recharging this battery.
When this battery is being recharged it leads to a stalling of progress in spirituality as you don’t have an energy source to push you upward as Sadhana needs immense energy. In a way semen is like a capacitor that stores energy for spiritual progress.
So don't waste your semen. Use it for procreation or preserve it for spiritual purposes.
