My dear skor,

You don't have the foggiest clue how my process works because that you are stuck in an ego-based linear mindset, but given that my process has produced an endless stream of miracles for both me and my clients (including physical healings and financial abundance), the results speak for themselves.

I invite you to be open to the possibility that you don't

Holy Spirit accepts ego's analysis, doesn't it? ;). Erika, *my* Holy Spirit accepts you as you are.

Have you encountered a concept of "Spiritual Bypass"?

I do wonder Erika how you can be so definitive about something so wonderful. It seems to be like saying "I am definitely sure I will not be smiling for a while" and then struggling to see the PROMISE kept when a funny story is told. I practice celibacy…in moments when I am not practicing sexual pleasure. Neither is expected, or demanded, or held in special regard over the other.

"So obviously the sane choice for me is permanent celibacy."

I could argue against that but I won't because I don't know you well enough. Yet I know of people who have been vegan for years and years only to find that including meat improved their health and energy levels enormously.

Sex might have not made you happy in the past and might not even make you

I was celibate for four and a half years before I came into this community. If I had it to do over again, I would not repeat any of the three sexual experiences I've had since I stopped being celibate. That means I would have been celibate straight through. So obviously the sane choice for me is permanent celibacy.

You can bet however you like, dear. It won't change anything.

Skiing makes me happy. Sex doesn't. That's really all there is to it.

Erika,

Skiing is nothing (continue accordingly). Given how much more often to speak of sex in your blog, as compared to skiing, I would bet heavily against sex being "nothing" for you on a grand scale.

On a tangential note, a friend of mine pointed out today how surprised she was that I didn't have any Advil with me ...

I asked her why she was surprised, and she reminded me that in previous ski seasons I always took Advil before skiing ... that was prophylatic because otherwise my knee would hurt (law school injury).

Well, my knee hasn't hurt all season, and I
