What is the best thing to do with sexual energy?

Is rage ever a useful emotion to experience or channel into a situation? If so, what situation would warrent it?

@onacloudynight That's strange. Usually the other way around lol.

This is a response to Leo's post about fracturing the community. As a reminder here is what he said: "I want to remind people that anyone caught using this forum or the PM system to recruit members to off-site discussions like Skype, Discord, private chatrooms, etc. will be banned without warning. This is not only against Forum Guidelines, but a danger to this community, which risks creating fractures and corruption. Moderators have zero oversight or control of what happens outside this forum. I take the recreation of cults very seriously. Do not use this forum to recruit anyone or pitch any groups or schemes, regardless of whether they are "free" or anything else of that nature. In doing so, you are opening a can worms which you do not yet understand. The potential for abuse here is very great, which is why I have a zero tolerance policy about this. Please keep all conversations on this forum. Or otherwise, find yourself a different community to join. Anyone found joining such secret groups is subject to perma-ban without warning. If you see people doing this, please report them to a Moderator or myself. Thank you." I want to ask why this is such a dangerous thing? Please explain. Maybe I am a bit naïve, but this seems very dictatorial and controlling. It's like saying, "Okay class, if I see any of you students interacting outside of the classroom, you will be immediately expelled from the class!" Honestly, this seems completely ridiculous. Just because I want to talk to someone outside of the community, doesn't mean that we are going to leave the forum entirely. What if some of us want to have a very personal in-depth discussion about self-actualization, meditation etc. It is sometimes difficult to find people that are into this sort of thing. It could give us the opportunity to discuss ideas more quickly and openly, which could help us understand other peoples' journeys, so we can learn and grow ourselves. I could actually see a benefit to this. Don't get me wrong there are always downsides. Maybe to solve this problem Leo could create his own discord server or something, where it could be moderated and we could all voice chat. I'm curious for your guys response. I don't care if I get hate. I usually agree with Leo on most things, but this I just don't understand.

I think meditating a lot has released a lot of repressed thoughts and emotions. I've been having a ton of homicidal thoughts lately and it feels good to finally be able to think these thoughts without judging them, but according to society these thoughts are not safe to have. It feels like I am turning into a psychopath. Any advice?

Maybe quit being a little bitch...

@Leo Gura Hey Leo, Do you plan on making a video discussing the various jhanas and progresses of insight?
