DARK I LOVELY

pure thoughts are re-introduced to the mind and spirit in the one line of spiritual teaching within a man's spirit.  It has to become a practice thinking pure thoughts in the presence of a woman attired any number of ways in the many styles she can chose from. It isn't the clothes. It is how a woman uses her body to communicate beneath her cloth that stimulates sexual desires in a man's loins. It is the touch of a woman's glance, her hands lightly upon your arm, and what is expressed behind the purpose of a conversation with her that pulls a man down, or up. The woman's control over every situation where sex may occur is phenomenal and at the same time a woman can fool a man into thinking he is in control.

The limits and the expansion of a man's control over his loins, and emotions rests in the words King Solomon shared: "A man that cannot control his spirit is like a city without walls." But, how do you do that? It isn't enough to give a maxim to a man. There has to be a teaching discipline given. My father gave me those tools. One of them is invaluable. I'll share it, but it accompanies a sharp intent, and what came to me as instruction through ceremony and example I cannot share in this medium.

I was 14 years old, and Daddy unraveled his life's example of discipline, impeccability, and faithfulness with these words. "Even if you are ever thinking about sex when talking to a woman they will know it. They will sense it. You need to listen to her and concentrate upon being her friend...."
