people in the general society are ignorant of the Neterian culture and have been inculcated with
orthodox western religious beliefs or western secular ideals. Therefore, it is very unlikely for a
person practicing Neterian spirituality, especially at the level of the priesthood, to be married to
someone who is of a different faith or philosophy and to develop a relationship that can promote
peace and prosperity and the service of Neter. It is even less likely to work out a relationship
between a person who practices Neterianism or some other mystical religion and a person who
practices or believes in orthodox religion. Further, the unprecedented level of social psychosis,
and frustration has generally reduced the pool of reasonably well-integrated human beings even
by worldly standards of normalcy. Therefore, sexual and marital as well as close business
relationships and partnerships with members of other traditions that are not compatible with the
Neterian culture are to be discouraged.
The Neterian marriage is an agreement made by two individuals to come together to make a
home and produce a family. However, for priests and priestesses the discipline is different than
that of the masses. The higher purpose of spiritual living is to grow in patience, forbearance,
nonviolence, self-control, detachment, and cosmic love, love beyond family, community and
country.
Priests and priestesses may be married or unmarried. If they are married they must practice
ritual cleansing before entering the temple if they have engaged in sexual intercourse. So
whether married or not the discipline of celibacy is to be observed by all who work as priests and
priestesses. Celibacy allows the energy of the sexual encounter to be dissipated and the
personality will be able to apply itself to the worship of the Divine. Also, realize that in ancient
times there was not the pressure to have sex, which is so prevalent in modern culture. Therefore,
an aspirant needs to control the sensory input of the world, avoiding company with those who are
lewd, vulgar or of degraded culture as well as those forms of entertainment that promote
lewdness, profanity and vulgarity.
The ideal of marriage in Neterian culture is not the same as the modern culture. Partners are
not forced to stay together if they do not want to be married nor are they forced or coerced to
marry in a temple. They unite by choice and they can separate by choice. Also, unions are not
arranged by the parents. However their relationship is not based on externalities such as sex or
unnatural pleasure-seeking. Those things will always lead to frustration and eventual divorce
because a mind that is in a relationship for pleasure only, seeking externalities such as sex-appeal
and good looks will be constantly engaged in adulterous thought processes that will eventually
compel the mind to act impulsively and promiscuously with the senses, and eventually with the
genitals. Marriage is to be based on Maat, righteousness. Any relation that is based on truth will
be fruitful and will lead to the evolution of all concerned. In such a relationship there is a greater
capacity to grow and a greater capacity for forgiveness and selflessness. So if a Neterian follower
wishes to marry in order to experience the householder life they may do so but that should not
interfere with the work at the temple and the practice of control of the sex urge. Due to economic
reasons and other social strife reasons it is more difficult in the present day to have the
householder-priesthood lifestyle. If a conflict would be there and a choice is to be made between
the two the aspirant should reflect on what is most important to them and follow that.
