I am curious how others view the subject of God and asexuality. I am both asexual and religious. I have not seen one piece of literature devoted to this subject. I do not fear anything since it is not immoral but it would be helpful to ascertain another's opinion.
The science of Yoga has a great deal to say about precisely God and asexuality. Yoga means union with God. It is a scientific approach and based on proven facts.
If you are interested in learning about this, read the works of Paramahansa Yogananda from Self Realization Fellowship. He has written many detailed explicit logical expositions on this subject. Abstaining from sex and turning that energy to the Lord is a fundamental requisite to realizing God within oneself. The ancient religious practices in many cultures understood this, and true monasticism was a boon to a devotional prayerful meditational life.
Few have any idea of the intense correlation. Paramahansa Yogananda explains it lucidly and dynamically, very easy to understand, gives the answers to the mysteries of life and shows the way to true happiness.
I'm a Kriyaban disciple, asexual, celibate, a virgin, and an Aspie. Being an Aspie is a God-given gift of tremendous value on the spiritual path! Meditation involves concentration and one-pointed focus. Make God your special interest and inner heaven is there fast!
