Another Yogic discipline known as Brahmacharya is emphasized here, and that is the restraint from sexual activity for anything other than procreation. (Brahmacharya has greater implications, and refraining from sex is only one of them.) This is a sensitive topic, and one that is greatly misunderstood. Or perhaps it is simply ignored. One of the greatest illusions inserted into humanity to keep us in the cycle of ignorance is the sexual impulse. Because it has been so drummed into our collective consciousness, anything that challenges the concept is considered absurd. From a Yogic perspective, the vital fluids of a sexual nature are derived from the essence of our etheric body and is called Ojas Shakti, the most valuable life force. When this is expended, we are draining the very building blocks of spiritual awakening.
The path to enlightenment is an arduous one, and continual vigilance and sincerity are not to be underestimated. There are no quick fixes, not even this "ascension to do list", unless adhered to with firm resolve. Going back to our mother ships or having E.T's descend, or discovering the ascended masters walking among us, can become ideas that distract one from the ultimate goal. They might be part of the story, but so is the entire universe! I feel much of the new age movement has peculiar trappings, and a kind of selective wisdom, that appear to keep us afloat, but has little in the way of substance - most of it consists in watered down teachings reminiscent of the hippie movement. It is only you who can elevate you. That, and grace.
It is my contention that we should seek the guidance and blessings of a master, a spiritual guru, who will lovingly guide us in the correct direction. When in the company of such a one, doubts, questions and darkness disappear - the fire of their knowledge and compassion burn ignorance and attachment, and the mind is rendered still. It is an experience of BEING, after which only supreme and perfect love remains, and we partake of the amrita, the nectar, of spiritual bliss. ~Sharda~

Sanat Kumara is a very loved high being of Light. He is one of the The Seven Kumaras, known as Lords of The Flame, from Venus.
-
The Kumaras were the only ones from this entire system of planets who of their own free will and infinite Love offered to guard the children of earth and assist their upward progress.
-
They came and gave transcendent help here at the most critical period of earth’s growth.
-
It was the time of initiation that is most dangerous in the Life of a planet and its humanity, but through their protection and guidance, the goal was attained and mankind has been enabled to reach the greater heights.
-
Every twenty-five hundred years, the Kumaras release a greatly increased outpouring of Cosmic Love, Wisdom, and Energy.
-
This blazing Light and transcendent radiance, flooding the earth and its inhabitants, interpenetrating all, is a tremendous lifting process, and gives a forward impulse to the growth of the entire earth, as well as its humanity.
-
Just preceding each of these great outpourings, extraordinary physical disturbances occur, and general unrest is felt throughout by the people.
-
Such disturbance is due to the discord that has accumulated during the last of the preceding period.
