Once the house is in order, where do I go from there?

Perhaps it is a good idea to begin clearing out things that may obstruct your aim. Maybe employing the reverse vector as Rose puts it and begin a retreat from untruths in your life. Things that you know already to be getting in your way. Things that clutter up both your physical surroundings as well as those in your inner house. Things like habits and addictions that need to be addressed. Often your material surroundings can be a reflection of what is going on in your inner life. Look for dead end patterns, energy leaks. Examine your sex life. This is the center of our energy force and the point of greatest disipation and energy loss. Rose recommends celibacy, a daunting term that is fraught with misunderstanding and heavy religious overtones where it may be as simple as conserving energy and lifeforce and allowing one to gain mental clarity and intuition. Celibacy is not merely refraining from intercourse, but refraining from all sexual activity in thought and action. This is a topic that warrants a thread of discussion all its own and is at the core of Rose's principles and many others throughout the centuries. Keep in mind, those who scoff at the practice, haven't given it much of a chance.
