Introduction
This post attempts to present the many areas in which fornication occurs. Fornication not only occurs in relation to the physical loss of sexual energy.
Notes
Definition
Fornication is a word in Gnostic studies that basically means: "to burn out". As in how a fire can burn out a house.
It implies to consume something until there is little or nothing left.
Fornicaton in general is related to expending values, energies and resources.
We are all free and have the right to use our energies and values as we please. However, we can all objectively discern what kind of use brings enhancement to us and what kind does not.
It can be seen that when we use our energies and values wisely, enhancement follows and there is little or no loss. However, using our energies unwisely, in the style of fornication, we see that no kind of enhancement follows.
Money, physical resources, psychological and spiritual values as well as all kinds of energies, are very applicable to fornication.
The general theme of fornicnation is to spend what is truly precious for something that has little value. Just as in the example from Mathew 7:6 in the bible: "Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet".

Areas
Fornication occurs in the mind, with the word, in the emotion with anger and worry, and in the sexual centre with the physical loss of the sexual energy.
When we overthink and think excessively to no useful end about something, we are using up precious mental energy. When we get a head ache and feel 'down', that is the result of what could be called mental fornication.
When we 'spill the beans' and or talk excessively that is fornication in the word. Speaking breaks seals in which things are needed to grow and develop.
Fornication besides expending energies and values breaks seals.
There is also fornication when one allows others to wash his or her values or principles away.
Fornication and betrayal share some relation. To fornicate in any area is at the very bottom of it, to betray oneself. Because one denies oneself to enhance oneself. Often it is the case that betrayal of a spouse does not occur for one to transmute but for one to fornincate.
Source of Energies
All the energies of the centres come from the energy of the sexual centre. When we fornicate through the mind or word we are actually also expending the energy of the sexual centre, which brings us back to fornication being of the sexual energy.
The more significant degrees of fornication are to do with the energies of life and creation. Which are the sexual energy, imagination and the word.
Our sexual energy is the final synthesis of everything we think, feel and do. In other words, if we fornicate a lot in our mind and word, then our sexual energy will inevitably become weak, and so there will be the tendency for our sexual energy to be weak also. Even the transmutation of the sexual energy may be weak.
Fornication does not allow something the right conditions to grow and develop. So fornication stunts creation, the crystallisation of virtues and the awakening of consciousness. Anything that requires an accumulation of energy to build upon and produce a break-through to a new level.
Other Characteristics
Fornication as we can see produces misery. To expend most or all of what we have, brings us misery. It is an action of ingratitude of not valuing and looking after the precious gifts we were given and taught how to cultivate and maintain.
To fornicate is something unjust. We can use our energies as we wish - we have that right, that is clear. However in fornicating, that is spending our energies on things that don't bring a return, causes us to take from elsewhere to replenish what has been lost. This is the unjust aspect of fornication.
In the fullest sense of the term, to not fornicate is not an easy task. It implies to cover many areas gross and subtle.
