IT WAS MANY YEARS AGO THAT I TOOK THE VOW, MAY 27, 1978. I WILL CUT TO THE CHASE AND EXPLAIN THE POWER THAT CELIBACY HAS BROUGHT ME, THE EVIL IT HAS PREVENTED AND THE GOOD IT HAS PRODUCED. I FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO KNOCK IT, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT THE GUTS TO EVEN TRY. THEY ARE SO HUNG UP ON SEX AND FEEL THEIR WHOLE LIFE AND IDENTITY DEPEND ON THEIR ABILITY TO PUT OUT AND PERFORM. I'M SORRY FOR YOU, BUT IF SEX IS THE WAY YOU DISPLAY YOUR POWER, YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH OF IT. MY DOGS AND CATS, CHICKENS AND DUCKS DO A LOT OF SEX, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF SPIRITUAL POWER.

THOSE WHO KNOCK CELIBACY AND CLAIM THERE IS NO USE FOR IT ARE THE ONES WHO DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO GIVE IT UP. THEY ARE ADDICTED TO THE PLEASURE OF SEX. MAKING UP EXCUSES FOR HOW IMPORTANT SEX IS, INCLUDING ITS 'SPIRITUALITY,' ARE A MASK OR COVER UP FOR PURE AND SIMPLE ADDICTION. THE WORLD WILL NOT COLLAPSE IF YOU BECOME CELIBATE, AND A FEW CELIBATES WILL NOT MAKE THE HUMAN RACE STAND STILL. AFTER ALL, ARE NOT ABORTION CLINICS FILLED WITH DEAD BABIES? ARE PEOPLE NOT USING CONDOMS WHEN THEY BUMP AND GRIND? THERE ISN'T ANY DANGER OF THE HUMAN RACE BECOMING EXTINCT, JUST YET, BY YOU AND I CONTROLLING OUR URGES.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF SEX IS THAT IT IS BEING USED AS A RESOURCE BY WOMEN TO HOOK MEN AND AND GET THEM TO DO WHAT THEY WANT. THAT IS A PROBLEM. THEY JUST WON'T PERFORM OR WORK FOR YOU UNLESS THERE IS SOME SORT OF BAIT OR REWARD IN IT FOR THEM. AND GOD KNOWS, IN A PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY, WOMEN NEED HELP, BECAUSE MEN HAVE REDUCED THEM TO SLAVE STATUS. THAT IS CHANGING, BUT SEX IS STILL A TOP COMMODITY. LUCKY IS THE WOMAN WHO CAN AFFORD TO BECOME CELIBATE! DON'T YOU THINK THE OLD-TIME CONVENTS WERE MORE FOR THE PURPOSE OF GETTING AWAY FROM MEN THAN GETTING CLOSER TO GOD? WOMEN HAD NO PLACE TO GO AND NO WAY TO SURVIVE LEST THEY GAVE THEIR BODIES TO MEN. CONVENTS WERE SAFE HAVEN. TODAY IT'S EASIER, BUT WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET.

FOR MEN THE ISSUE IS A POWER PLAY. THEY NEED US TO NEED THEM. IF WE DON'T, WE WON'T. SEX ACTIVITIES WOULD BE SOMEWHAT LESSENED IF WOMEN COULD ALL SURVIVE ON THEIR OWN RESOURCES. THERE WOULD ALSO BE A LOT LESS BATTERING OF WOMEN AND SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN, IF WOMEN COULD THROW TO THE CURB THE BAD GUYS.

NOW TO THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF CELIBACY. WHY DO SO MANY SAINTS PRACTICE IT THROUGH THE AGES? IF YOU LOOK AT THE ROSTER OF SAINTS, ESPECIALLY WOMEN SAINTS, MOST OF THEM WERE CELIBATES. WHAT IS THE POINT OF CELIBACY IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE? WHY DOES GIVING UP SEX MAKE A PERSON BETTER FIT FOR GOD? AT THIS POINT, I WILL CHANNEL ONE OF MY FOREMOST GURUS AND THE MOTHER OF MY SOUL AND MY BODY, THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY. IT IS SHE WHO HELPED ME ON THIS ROUTE, APPEARED TO ME, AND GAVE ME THE NECESSARY GIFTS TO PRACTICE IT. I ASK HOLY MARY:

"MOTHER, WILL YOU ANSWER FOR ME? WHAT IS THE GOOD OF CELIBACY?"

HOLY MARY: "THE GOOD OF CELIBACY, (IF RIGHTLY PRACTICED FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD,) MAKES A PERSON MORE FREE FROM ALL ATTACHMENTS. SEX BONDS PEOPLE TOGETHER IN THE FLESH, AND THE TWO BECOME ONE. THEN YOU ARE YOKED, AND WHEREVER HE GOES YOU GO, AND WHEREVER SHE GOES, YOU GO. IF HE IS NOT HEADED FOR THE HEIGHTS OF HEAVEN AND YOU ARE, HE HOLD YOU DOWN, AND VICE VERSA. YOU MUST ATTEND TO HIM, LOVE HIM, TAKE CARE OF HIM, AND HE CAN BE LIKE A NOOSE AROUND YOUR NECK OR A CROSS UPON YOUR BACK. YOU SIMPLY ARE NOT FREE. SINCE I GAVE YOU CELIBACY, ALTHOUGH YOU, MY DAUGHTER, WERE FRIENDS WITH MEN, YOU WERE NEVER IN BONDAGE TO ANY OF THEM BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT LINKED IN SEX. THEY KNEW THEY COULD NOT POSSESS, CONTROL OR IN ANY WAY DOMINATE YOU."

RASA: "WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT, HOLY MOTHER? HOW DOES A MAN POSSESSING, CONTROLLING OR DOMINATING ME INHIBIT OR CURTAIL MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?"

HOLY MARY: "IT IS A MATTER OF TIME AND ENERGY AND FOCUS. THEY TAKE AWAY FROM YOU THE RESOURCES OF YOUR MIND, YOUR PRECIOUS BODY, YOUR AFFECTIONS, ALL OF WHICH COULD PROBABLY BE BETTER USED. THEY SQUANDER THESE QUALITIES A WOMAN HAS FOR THEIR SELFISH PURPOSES, THEIR EGO AND THEIR BODILY NEEDS. YOU, FOR ONE, HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO."

RASA: "HOLY MOTHER, WHAT ELSE HAS CELIBACY DONE FOR ME BESIDES KEEP ME FREE FROM SUCH SQUANDERING OF MY TIME, STRENGTH AND FOCUS?"

HOLY MARY: "THERE ARE MANY DANGERS FROM SATAN IN REGARDS TO MEN. SOME OF THEM ARE VIOLENT. DATING MEN IS A PRECARIOUS SITUATION, AS WOMEN ARE VULNERABLE TO THEIR VIOLENT OUTBURSTS AND INTIMIDATIONS. UNTIL SHE KNOWS A MAN EXTREMELY WELL, A WOMAN IS NEVER SAFE. YOU LEFT THE DATING SCENE AND IN MEETING NEW MEN YOU SCREENED THEM VERY WELL. BUT THAT WAS PARTIALLY BECAUSE YOU KNEW THEM AND HAD BEEN THROUGH MANY TRIALS. THINK OF THE NEW WOMEN LEARNING THE HARD WAY. PRAY THAT THEIR GUARDIAN ANGELS PROTECT THEM."

RASA: "THE NEXT ISSUE IS ONE'S OWN BODY AND MIND. HAS DOES FREEDOM FROM SEX DESIRE MAKE A PERSON BETTER FIT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD?"

HOLY MARY: "IT MAKES AN INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE. THE MIND IS PULLED DOWN BY THE SEX DRIVE AND OTHER AFFECTIONS OF THE FLESH. WHATEVER YOU CRAVE AND GOD FORBID, ARE ADDICTED TO, MAKES ALL YOUR ENERGY TRAVEL DOWNWARD AND INTO A PLACE WHERE IT IS WASTED. IT DOES NOT TRAVEL TO THE PLACE OF THE VISION OF GOD. YOU SACRIFICED YOUR SEXUALITY SO YOU COULD SEE GOD."

RASA: "WHY DO MEN HARRASS ME SO MUCH WHEN I SPEAK OF CELIBACY? WHY DO THEY HATE WOMEN BEING CELIBATE SO MUCH?"

HOLY MARY: "ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? THEY WANT WOMEN AVAILABLE FOR SEX, AS IF TOO MANY WOMEN WERE CELIBATE, THEY WOULD HAVE AN EVEN HARDER TIME GETTING IT. THEY RESENT THE FACT THAT YOU COULD JUST GIVE IT UP AND BE FREE OF THEM AND SAY NO TO THEM. THEY FEEL OFFENDED THAT YOU ARE FREE AND THEY CANNOT HAVE YOU. THEY WANT POWER AND CONTROL OVER WOMEN. EVEN IF THEY DO NOT LOVE YOU OR WANT TO BE WITH YOU AFTER SEX, THEY WANT YOU TO BE VULNERABLE TO THEM."

RASA: "HOLY MARY, YOU PAINT A STRONG PICTURE AGAINST THE EVILS OF MEN. I HAVE BEEN STRONGLY ATTACKED BY MY OTHER CHANNELING OF YOU ON SEX. WOMEN HURT ME AS MUCH AS THE MEN DID. OF COURSE, SOME MEN WERE GALLANT AND AGREED YOU WERE RIGHT. WHAT IS GOING ON?"

HOLY MARY: "IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY. WOMEN KNOW THEY HAVE TO GIVE IN TO MEN, AND SEEING YOU STAND UP TO THEM SO STRONGLY, BY REPRESENTING MY WORDS, THEY FEEL LIKE THE SLAVES WHO SAW ANOTHER SLAVE STAND UP TO ITS MASTER. THE MORE TIMID SOULS FELT FEAR AND DISSASOCIATED THEMSELVES FROM THE BOLD SLAVES, SO AS NOT TO REAP THE REPERCUSSIONS."

RASA: "MOTHER, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE IMPORTANT I SHOULD ADD TO THIS WRITING?"

HOLY MARY: "TELL PEOPLE THAT IF THEY WANT TO BE CELIBATE, BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, GOD WILL HELP THEM. THEY MUST TRY AND GOD WILL HELP, AND MUCH EVIL WILL BE AVOIDED. THE REWARDS OF CELIBACY ARE GREAT, AS GREAT AS THE VISION OF GOD. IT IS WORTH GIVING UP SEX FOR THE VISION AND COMPANIONSHIP OF GOD, AS GOD BECOMES MORE INTIMATE WITH THE SACRIFICING SOUL."
