13 Principles to Manifesting Money – Principle 10
“Happiness is Found in DOING, not Merely in Possessing” – Napoleon Hill
Principle 10 – the Mystery of Sex Transmutation
The word ‘transmute’ means ‘the changing or transferring of one element or form of energy into another.”
The emotion of sex brings into being a state of mind. Due to our ignorance about the involvement of this state of mind, it is generally associated with the physical aspects of sex.
The ‘emotion’ of sex has behind it the possibility of three constructive potentials:
- perpetuation of humanity
- maintenance of health (its therapeutic ability has no equal)
- transformation of mediocrity to genius through transmutation
Sex Transmutation is simple and is explained as “the switching of the mind from thoughts of physical expression to thoughts of some other nature.”
Desire for sex is the most powerful of all human desires. Driven by this desire humans develop a keen imagination, courage, will-power, persistence, and creativity unknown to them at any other time. This desire is so impelling that men willingly risk everything – including their life and reputation – to get it. But if harnessed and directed in a different way, this undeniable force maintains all its attributes of keen imagination, courage, etc., to use as a powerful force to accumulate money.
However, the transmutation of sex energy requires will-power. Sexual desire is natural and inborn and shouldn’t be submerged or eliminates; however, it should also be given an outlet through forms of expression that enrich body, mind and spirit.
It is significant that the most successful men have highly developed sexual natures and learned the art of sex transmutation. Plus highly successful men who achieved great recognition were motivated by a woman’s influence! When driven by this irresistible emotion, men are gifted with a super power for action…”Sex Transmutation” contains the secret of creative ability.
The human mind responds to stimuli which increases its rates of vibration known as enthusiasm, creative imagination, intense desire, etc. The mind responds most easily to these 10 stimuli to step up the mind and start wheels of action:
Desire for sexual expression
Love
Burning desire for fame, power, or money
Music
Friendship with either or both sexes
Master Mind alliance for spiritual or temporal advances
Mutual suffering, like those of persecuted people
Auto suggestion
Fear
Narcotics and alcohol
Eight of these stimuli are natural and constructive – two are destructive.
The emotion of sex is the most intense and powerful of all stimuli. Hill’s definition of a genius is “a man who has discovered how to increase the intensity of thought to the point where he can freely communicate with sources of knowledge not available through the ordinary rate of thought.” but how do you connect with the sources of knowledge not ordinarily available? And are there sources of knowledge available only to geniuses and how can you access them?
The sixth sense is creative imagination which the majority of people never use in their lifetime or merely by accident. However, Geniuses voluntarily use this faculty deliberately and purposefully, while fully understanding its functions. The faculty of ‘creative imagination’ is the direct link between man’s finite mind and Infinite Intelligence. All new discoveries and revelations take place through the faculty of ‘creative imagination.’
Ideas and “hunches” flash into one’s mind from one or more of these sources: Infinite Intelligence, your subconscious mind, another person’s conscious mind, and from another person’s subconscious. When brain action is stimulated, it lifts the person above his usual level of thought, permitting him to envision distance, scope, and thought quality not available on his ordinary thought level. At the same time his vision is not limited by any ordinary stimuli that usually occupies his mind, ie. Gaining the basic necessities. While on this higher plane of thought, his creative faculty has complete freedom of action, the sixth sense can function and is receptive to ideas that could never reach him otherwise.
Your creative faculty becomes more alert and receptive to thing originating outside the subconscious mind only through use. The more it is used, relied on and demanded for its thought impulses, the more it develops. The reasoning faculty is quite faulty in its results, because it relies mostly on your accumulated experience, which often is inaccurate illusion…as evidenced by all our false limiting beliefs.
The driving force of the sex emotion, when influenced from the right source, can be harnessed and transmuted to lift one to higher planes of thought. Sex energy is the creative energy of all geniuses and is an essential driving force. However, don’t misunderstand this to mean all who are highly sexed are geniuses! Sexual energy must be transformed from desire for physical contact and release to some ‘other’ form of desire and action. The majority of mankind is never aware of the ability to transmute their sexual desires and end up lowering themselves, through misuse of this great power, to the status of lower animals.
It is the use of this powerful sexual force in both its physical and transmuted forms that allows for the creation of great things!
Be sure to read Napoleon Hill’s fascinating and enlightening chapter on Sex Transmutation in its entirety. It reveals so much more information and examples than I am able to reiterate within the confines of a blog post.
