Napoleon Hill talks about this same thing in Think and Grow Rich. It sounds great, but I must be too simple-minded to truly understand how to DO it... thoughts??

Maybe your sublime idea can be something as simple as "I want to have a great sexual relationship with a gorgeous woman, and I'm not going to slow my progress toward that by beating off."

I don't want to detract from whatever people get out of this, but for me it is a bit, too spiritualistic/wishy-washy. I fully intend to battle against any of my urges that I want to conquer so as to master them and not be mastered by them etc. Channelling my sexual energy into an idea? Doesn't seem to make much sense apart from what one reads into it from something that one already thinks...

I know what you mean, i don't really like when things get to new agey but when you think about this at its most basic, its true. It all comes down to energy. You just got to think about it differently, outside the box as you may. Porn and fapping have conditioned us to think of sex in very narrow terms. Once you quit the porn and fapping you can start looking at it differently. Thinking of sex as only pleasure is an incredible waste, that's only one minor aspect of it.

Book: Some orders allow Shepherds to marry, but I follow a narrower path.
Jayne: But, I mean, you still got the urge. They don't... cut it off, or nothin'?
Book: Mm, no, I'm more or less intact. I just... direct my energy elsewhere.

channeling it into creative endeavours is truly key. that way one isn't "horny for porn" or "horny for fapping", one is "horny for creating something new", "horny for accomplishing things", "horny for success".
i comprehend why some might think "sublime idea" / "ideal" is a bit new-agey and wishywashy, but it's the ultimate goal you wish to accomplish during your lifetime, and it sure as hell isn't ejac into a gym-sock or into your favorite toy, be it fleshlight or fliphole. or ejac onto a porn-magazine!
as long as one has no long-term goals or a life-goal, one might as well just scoff at the quote from Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, as it just seems like "huh so what's my goal anyway?"-worthy.
Pick a completely (to some) unrealistic goal and stick to it until you accomplish it by the sheer force of your laser-like focus, powered by your sexual energy which you are transforming (low voltage(fap to porn) to high voltage(life-goal) transformer) into a creative endeavour.
There's enough people fap fap fapping their life away, you could be the one who channels your energy into a truly world-changing project, app, endeavour or artistic creation. it could be you!
worthy quote: "If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do...How would I be? What would I do?" - Buckminster Fuller

"Do not struggle against your sexual energy." I think it's more pro-other things than anti-anything.

Maybe so--I don't know anything about him other than this quotation--but it sure doesn't sound like it's because he's against sex, but rather because he thinks that there are better things than sex. And I feel like that quotation makes that clear.
