Yep, it's true.
Few women understand just how much she can contribute herself.
If you are a married woman, I challenge you to read this, in its entirety and absorb all that it is saying:
The Mystery of Sex Transmutation - from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon HillSome excerpts:
-The emotion of sex has back of it the possibility of three constructive potentialities, they are:--
1.
The perpetuation of mankind.
2.
The maintenance of health, (as a therapeutic agency, it has no equal).
3.
The transformation of mediocrity into genius through transmutation.
-Scientific research has disclosed these significant facts:
1.
The men of greatest achievement are men with highly developed sex natures; men who have learned the art of sex transmutation.
2.
The men who have accumulated great fortunes and achieved outstanding recognition in literature, art, industry, architecture, and the professions, were motivated by the influence of a woman.
-The human mind responds to stimuli, through which it may be "keyed up" to high rates of vibration, known as enthusiasm, creative imagination, intense desire, etc. The stimuli to which the mind responds most freely are:--
The desire for sex expression comes at the head of the list of stimuli, which most effectively "step-up" the vibrations of the mind and start the "wheels" of physical action. Eight of these stimuli are natural and constructive. Two are destructive. The list is here presented for the purpose of enabling you to make a comparative study of the major sources of mind stimulation. From this study, it will be readily seen that the emotion of sex is, by great odds, the most intense and powerful of all mind stimuli.
1.
The desire for sex expression
2.
Love
3.
A burning desire for fame, power, or financial gain, MONEY
4.
Music
5.
Friendship between either those of the same sex, or those of the opposite sex.
6.
A Master Mind alliance based upon the harmony of two or more people who ally themselves for spiritual or temporal advancement.
7.
Mutual suffering, such as that experienced by people who are persecuted.
8.
Auto-suggestion
9.
Fear
10.
Narcotics and alcohol.
-When brain action has been stimulated, through one or more of the ten mind stimulants, it has the effect of lifting the individual far above the horizon of ordinary thought, and permits him to envision distance, scope, and quality of THOUGHTS not available on the lower plane, such as that occupied while one is engaged in the solution of the problems of business and professional routine.
When lifted to this higher level of thought, through any form of mind stimulation, an individual occupies, relatively, the same position as one who has ascended in an airplane to a height from which he may see over and beyond the horizon line which limits his vision, while on the ground. Moreover, while on this higher level of thought, the individual is not hampered or bound by any of the stimuli which circumscribe and limit his vision while wrestling with the problems of gaining the three basic necessities of food, clothing, and shelter. He is in a world of thought in which the ORDINARY, work-a-day thoughts have been as effectively removed as are the hills and valleys and other limitations of physical vision, when he rises in an airplane.
-The pages of history are filled with the records of great leaders whose achievements may be traced directly to the influence of women who aroused the creative faculties of their minds, through the stimulation of sex desire. Napoleon Bonaparte was one of these. When inspired by his first wife, Josephine, he was irresistible and invincible. When his "better judgment" or reasoning faculty prompted him to put Josephine aside, he began to decline. His defeat and St. Helena were not far distant.
If good taste would permit, we might easily mention scores of men, well known to the American people, who climbed to great heights of achievement under the stimulating influence of their wives, only to drop back to destruction AFTER money and power went to their heads, and they put aside the old wife for a new one. Napoleon was not the only man to discover that sex influence, from the right source, is more powerful than any substitute of expediency, which may be created by mere reason.
-A teacher, who has trained and directed the efforts of more than 30,000 sales people, made the astounding discovery that highly sexed men are the most efficient salesmen. The explanation is, that the factor of personality known as "personal magnetism" is nothing more nor less than sex energy. Highly sexed people always have a plentiful supply of magnetism. Through cultivation and understanding, this vital force may be drawn upon and used to great advantage in the relationships between people. This energy may be communicated to others through the following media:
1.
The hand-shake. The touch of the hand indicates, instantly, the presence of magnetism, or the lack of it.
2.
The tone of voice. Magnetism, or sex energy, is the factor with which the voice may be colored, or made musical and charming.
3.
Posture and carriage of the body. Highly sexed people move briskly, and with grace and ease.
4.
The vibrations of thought. Highly sexed people mix the emotion of sex with their thoughts, or may do so at will, and in that way, may influence those around them.
5.
Body adornment. People who are highly sexed are usually very careful about their personal appearance. They usually select clothing of a style becoming to their personality, physique, complexion, etc.
-The entire subject of sex is one with which the majority of people appear to be unpardonably ignorant. The urge of sex has been grossly misunderstood, slandered, and burlesqued by the ignorant and the evil minded, for so long that the very word sex is seldom used in polite society. Men and women who are known to be blessed--yes, BLESSED--with highly sexed natures, are usually looked upon as being people who will bear watching. Instead of being called blessed, they are usually called cursed.
-The emotion of love brings out, and develops, the artistic and the aesthetic nature of man. It leaves its impress upon one's very soul, even after the fire has been subdued by time and circumstance.
Memories of love never pass. They linger, guide, and influence long after the source of stimulation has faded. There is nothing new in this. Every person, who has been moved by GENUINE LOVE, knows that it leaves enduring traces upon the human heart. The effect of love endures, because love is spiritual in nature. The man who cannot be stimulated to great heights of achievement by love,
is hopeless--he is dead, though he may seem to live.
-When the emotion of romance is added to those of love and sex, the obstructions between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence are removed. Then a genius has been born!
What a different story is this, than those usually associated with the emotion of sex. Here is an interpretation of the emotion which lifts it out of the commonplace, and makes of it potter's clay in the hands of God, from which He fashions all that is beautiful and inspiring. It is an interpretation which would, when properly understood, bring harmony out of the chaos which exists in too many marriages. The disharmonies often expressed in the form of nagging, may usually be traced to lack of knowledge on the subject of sex. Where love, romance and the proper understanding of the emotion and function of sex abide, there is no disharmony between married people.
Fortunate is the husband whose wife understands the true relationship between the emotions of love, sex, and romance. When motivated by this holy triumvirate, no form of labor is burdensome, because even the most lowly form of effort takes on the nature of a labor of love.
It is a very old saying that "a man's wife may either make him or break him," but the reason is not always understood. The "making" and "breaking" is the result of the wife's understanding, or
lack of understanding of the emotions of love, sex, and romance.
Despite the fact that men are polygamous, by the very nature of their biological inheritance, it is true that no woman has as great an influence on a man as his wife, unless he is married to a woman totally unsuited to his nature. If a woman permits her husband to lose interest in her, and become more interested in other women, it is usually because of her ignorance, or indifference toward the subjects of sex, love, and romance. This statement presupposes, of course, that genuine love once existed between a man and his wife. The facts are equally applicable to a man who permits his wife's interest in him to die.
Married people often bicker over a multitude of trivialities. If these are analyzed accurately, the real cause of the trouble will often be found to be indifference, or ignorance on these subjects.
-The woman who understands man's nature and tactfully caters to it, need have no fear of competition from other women. Men may be "giants" with indomitable will-power when dealing with other men, but they are easily managed by the women of their choice.I first read this when I was 21. It has stayed with me this whole time. For those of you who know me personally, you know I've always advised you to make sure your husband is a well sexed man. As RLB will testify, so much of his ability to think is because he does not need to concern himself with sexual release. And think he does. The fruits of his labor (thinking) have always been evident in our lives. I promise you, ladies, I continue to see fruition of these great truths that Napoleon Hill wrote about in 1937.
Most men will not admit that they are easily influenced by the women they prefer, because it is in the nature of the male to want to be recognized as the stronger of the species. Moreover, the intelligent woman recognizes this "manly trait" and very wisely makes no issue of it.
And this even further condemns the American female for the useless thing she is: she only asks two questions, "is he rough enough (a bad boy)?" or "Does he make enough money?"; and being intelligent is a drawback: I have heard too many of my peers give the "too intelligent" brush off.
ReplyDeleteTo condense: The American female is only interested in males whose intelligence and character are in service to his dick and wallet.
I'm not sure why that is relevant here. Perhaps I misunderstand, do you take issue with my advising married women to read an excerpt from one the greatest personal development authors of the 20th Century?
DeleteMost of the excerpt she quoted was written by a man, mostly directed toward men. And, yes, most men I have known have cared about both sex and success in their chosen careers. It is important for wives, and those who aspire to be wives, to understand this and to encourage these drives, rather than attempt to thwart their husbands' ambitions in exchange for more time and attention for themselves.
DeleteSD: very relevant: most women look at a man and ask only two questions: is he rough enough (this includes "Christian" women) and does he or will he make money (also "Christian" women); in short, is his character and intelligence in service to his wallet and dick: they are happiest when it falls in between the two. I have also had my so-called intellectual peers look at me and tell me that I am too intelligent.
DeleteI have watched a "good", virginal, Christian woman shudder at my question as to why she is not dating any of the Christian men in her church. Shortly thereafter, she got up and went over to the table to talk to a man who had just driven up to the restaurant in a Mercedes. In a more liberal campus church, I watched so-called Christian women get all bouncy and up-tight and perky when a young man who had spent his teens and early twenties fornicating like a rabbit come into the church declaring that he just found Jesus: the resident virgin got him.
The man who is capable of becoming that of which Napoleon Hill writes, is left eating the dust of unfulfilled potential.
As an artist, I am fully aware of the energizing capacity of sex. One needs only to read of Rodin and his mistress Therese to discover this principle. My grad school mentor understood this and used mistresses and temporary girlfriends to get this energy even in his seventies: he was a NYC sculptor. In my own life, I have had girlfriends who ignited this energy; the last one ignited the sculptor in me, despite the fact I am a painter. Unfortunately, I am a Christian, so I can not run around fornicating to obtain this sublimated sexual energy: I would have much preferred to be married and undertook these relationships with the hope of becoming married. At sixty-four, there are no desirable women around me - I refuse to consider dried up crones: I know what I missed and why - so I have to do what I can do with what energy I have.
I'm questioning your comments' relevance because I'm addressing already married women. I did not write this for singles. I prefaced it with "If you are a married woman..." And the obvious message considering the title is for married women to understand how valuable her sexual availability and service to her husband is. That it literally helps him think.
DeleteWe can discuss, if you so desire, the innate nature of women to select for protection/provision potential in a mate. This is a feature, not a bug. But that has nothing to do with the topic of this post.
In marriage, women will battle with her sinful covetous desires. If she doesn't actively pursue the Word of God, she will feel a measure of discontent. This is a bug. It is something we, married women, need to guard against. The desire of "wanting more" IS something a wise woman battles against. And long before she should ever voice her discontent to her husband, she should understand the very valuable information Napoleon Hill is talking about. Ie, long before she asks for more, longs for more, feels entitled to more, she should give more. A very important place to start is with her husband's sexual needs.
Njartist women desire protection and provision as a feature because they are designed for Motherhood. You and others keep lambasting female design which is ludicris.
DeleteIt is the same as a women refusing sex to men.
And a practicing Christian fornicating for the sake of his art? Give me a break.
I read and bookmarked this. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to get over the frustration of where I could be had I known younger. However, ignorance will be something my own children will not suffer from.
Thank you for your comment at SSM. That is exactly what happened. I am getting frustrated that it is harder and harder to learn because of sabotage there. I think some of those commenters would be slapped upside the head elsewhere.
Interesting how the author talks of channeling demons for profit though.
Hi njartist. I have followed many of your links on VP.
Sorry. My comment regarding channeling was in regards to your link.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you read the channeling demons for profit thing?
DeleteIt is possible that I missunderstood. But when I followed the link I read about a man named Gates locking himself in a room and opening himself to ideas and writing endlessly. That is a practice called channeling where the familiar spirit will use your hand to write. The person being used gets inspiration way beyond their own knowledge and often cannot stop until they are allowed to.
DeleteI thought it was strange but assumed you were quoting strictly regarding sex. Witchcraft also uses sexual energies to inspire and energize people.
I thought he had a point, but this is not a Christian one. This is the same old forbidden knowledge stuff.
A brief search and I see there is a debate about this. Interesting. Yeah, my focus is just for wives to understand how important having sex with their husbands is. I'm not endorsing channeling anything. Just prayer people, just prayer and meditation on God's Word!
DeleteYep. Your only talking sex. That is what I thought lol.
DeleteComment by Bee
ReplyDeleteAn important, significant, and fundamental, way that a wife can be a helpmeet to her husband.
Almost all Christian wives have never been taught this. Most overlook this basic function.

Not to be all TMI, but women seriously need to understand that sexual release is quite literally required for a man to focus. He may need this more then once, either to focus or relax.
DeleteIt is also a lot easier for him to turn others down if he is on empty when they come asking.
It really helps your case when you want to stay home or homeschool or something if that is your first priority.
I always wonder how much more I would have achieved in my life if I would have had an outlet for my sexual energy when I was younger. I will never know for sure, but I am certain that it has handicapped my life significantly.
ReplyDeleteGetting married young is a blessing in more ways then one.
