Chapter 11. The Mystery of Sex Transmutation
The Tenth Step toward Riches
As he opens this chapter, Napoleon Hill suggests, Sex desire is
the most powerful of human desires. When driven by this desire,
people develop keenness of imagination, courage, willpower,
persistence, and CREATIVE ABILITY unknown to them at other
times. When harnessed, and redirected this motivating force
maintains all of its attributes, which may be used as powerful
creative forces in any profession or calling, including, of course,
transmuting ones desires to their physical equivalent.
We all know, as Hill says, “sexual expression is inborn and
natural. It should not be hidden or eliminated but given an outlet
through other forms of expression that enrich the mind body
and spirit.”
The feelings and emotions should be expressed. Hill gives this
analogy. “A river may be dammed, and its water controlled for a
time, but eventually, it will force an outlet. The same is true of the
emotion of sex. It may be submerged and controlled for a time, but
its very nature causes it to be ever seeking means of expression.
If it is not transmuted into some creative effort it will find a less
worthy outlet. Fortunate, indeed, is the person who has discovered
how to give sex emotion an outlet through some form of creative
effort, for they have, by that discovery, lifted themselves to the
status of a genius.”
Hill gives a list of the 10 most powerful stimulus of the mind where
he feels is created an intensity of enthusiasm, creative imagination
and intense desire. He lists “Autosuggestion” as number
eight. I think we could move it to number one. Through positive
“Autosuggestion’ we can cause ourselves to transmute these other
stimuli into a more creative or useful environment. Through
autosuggestion we can even curb or stop the action of #9 fear and
#10 use of narcotics and alcohol…
I have a new men-tee. He expressed to me the following after he
started participation at Mentoring for Free; he was finding it hard
to fall asleep. He was bombarded by 100’s of random thoughts of
developing success in network marketing, growing faith that these
new skills will positively transmute his dreams to their physical
equivalent. I mentioned this chapter and said, this may sound odd
at first but I asked him to think back at his first experiences as a
young man experiencing his first date and attraction to a young
woman. How after that date his thoughts were going crazy
regarding what he had said, what he didn’t say, what he did, what
he didn’t do and what kind of relationship he hoped would develop
and how those thoughts kept him awake at night and distracted
his mind during the day. I explained, these are the same strong
feelings you feel today being transmuted to more productive thought,
they just need to be focused. It did not take him but a moment to
see the link. As a young person the desire is directed more to the
physical. Through maturity and the introduction of these new ideas
that desire was being redirected unbeknownst to him and transmuted
to an action that will lift him higher. When one becomes aware that
this principle is available to them they can begin to consciously
redirect the enthusiasm.
In that regard a married or single person could be transmuting that
same desire of sex, love, personal or family security through
financial gain and friendship with others. In other words they
would be transmuting a good share of these stimuli to attain their
dreams and transmuting them into a physical equivalent.
Because these stimuli are infinite, we do not have to give them up
in this transmutation, only redirect and harness a certain amount
of their power to use for other worthy activity.
In this book on page 165 Hill mentions the type and professions
where one will find those who more naturally posses the ability to
transmute this power without being aware of it. Most people do
not have this natural ability. Hill says the transmutation of sex
energy calls for more will power than the average person cares to
use for this purpose. The good news is those who find it difficult
to summon will-power sufficient for transmutation, may gradually
acquire this ability. Although it does require at least some will-power,
the reward for the practice is more than worth the effort.
Hill states on page 168, “the road to genius consists of the
development, control and use of sex, love and romance in a
productive way…the process is as follows: Encourage the
presence of these emotions as the dominating thoughts in one’s
mind, and discourage the presence of all the destructive emotions.
The mind is a creature of habit. It thrives upon the dominating
thoughts fed it” so nourish it with Stimuli # 8, Autosuggestion, AKA
positive affirmation and self-talks.
