The primary place where most people lose energy is in their relationships with others. That means you lose your energy in your interactions with the people you know best.

Yoga is a removal of the conscious awareness from the world as you know it - the world that you've constructed - through your focus within your mind, to something else.

Sex does drain a certain amount of your occult energy. But that really has nothing to do with enlightenment.

The awareness of liberation is not liberation. The awareness of time is not liberation.

You can live in the world and have all the myriad experiences that life has to offer and yoke your awareness field to the planes of light, and eventually to nirvana itself.

Nirvana is a word that means enlightenment, being beyond the illusion of birth and death, the illusion of pain, the illusion of love, the illusion of time and life.

It doesn't really matter what you do. It is your state of mind that matters.
