Having just recently gone through the EA 1st Degree, I feel as though I must work on my physical body.
In particular, transcending the sexual desire, thereby keeping the generative power/force at bay.
As I was given a white apron that signifies innocence, and that apron directly covering the sexual organ, I feel as though I must become innocent when it pertains to sexual desire.
> a white apron that signifies innocence, and that apron directly covering the sexual organ
I have never met a Mason that worked that out.
The apron is properly leather and leather is an insulator of energies. Thus the apron (properly worn under the jacket) insulates the other brethren from uncoordinated sexual energies and the brother appears as innocent.
The Flame in the Heart exercise will progressively lift your vibration so that you are able to control sexual energies.
The test I use is asking the question: Do you believe that Life has meaning or do you know that Life has meaning. The knowers have learned to control all their physical energies. And then need to learn to control their emotional energies so that they respond rather than reacting.
The inner work of the EA is to establish right relationships within and without. To the extent that this achieved the EA is acceptable for the work of the FC

I haven't found much on the forum regarding this issue. Now this fellow may be a little aggressive with his wording but perhaps the message itself will be rewarding to those that are searching for help in this fashion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_pQDW2wuYA

Gentlemen, I"ve come to this question several times and have even considered purchasing a similar type of leather material to try an reflect these sexual energies back toward myself to try and use them to my benefit. Would having said item be of any assistance perhaps? Any ideas, suggestions. I know that i have not been accepted, yet i still accept certain practices.
>when we do pranic healing Leather is an energy stop flow device & asked to remove such from people
I assumed that if I wore one on a regular basis, would it assist in semen retention and offer anything of value. If so I would buy similar items in bulk to wear on the regular. Even before finding the post regarding the apron I found this a possible necessity in my progression and would accept the help if it was found to be an asset.
The ancient Egyptians wore linen aprons for the same reason as Masons wear leather aprons. By (Christian) tradition these are lambskin but in Australia they are usually kangaroo skin or vinyl.
Vinyl is useless.
The control of sexual desires is important from various perspectives including the stability of society.
The urge to reproduce is a planetary energy, and at the time of child birth is sufficient to kill the mother. The human needs to control that energy and the control is primarily by lifting the frequency of the light body so that dense energies are discarded.
The thread on the 21 steps contains fragmented instructions for this. Read the thread several times and the technique may be clear.
I thank you both for touching on this rather sensitive(at times) conversation. As I come closer to understanding the nature of the beast in which I dwell, the controlling comes a little more easier. Not to assume that I could ever be a puppet master so to speak without training, but things are becoming a little more forth coming a bit. This feel as if it is a great opportunity for me to almost understand anything that has remained hidden from me all this time.
There are various (chakra) intelligences within the human and they exist on various planes and subplanes. As the human learns to control the energies of those planes the internal intelligences are progressively refined and then integrated into the human system.
