@28 cm unbuffed This is the key right here! One of the biggest mistakes anybody can make trying out Nofap whatever mode it is, is to make the Nofap a priority. Big mistake, because you'd just sit there not trying to sexually transmute that energy into your passions, your career, your mind, your body even get's the energy to apply to working out/martial arts training, and so much more to sexually transmute energy into. I honestly will not take anyone's words seriously if you haven't given Nofap a really good go. Any justification to explain the attempt not to try it out is ego justifications. For anyone interested in this practice, try out the Nofap for 30 days, 90 days, 180 days and 365 days, hard mode or monk mode mode, and come back here and we can have a good discussion about it. Otherwise it's just excuses to try it out or excuses to not do it. Below are some lists of geniuses that have done this practice to a degree. You can find more examples. Swami Vivekananda was one of the very few that took this practice hard core, full sexual abstinence for 10+ years, and he achieved ridiculous feats of human intellect and physicality, despite his early death from tuberculosis. Mike Tyson is a really good example of this practice. For 5 years straight, he abstained from masturbation, sexually transmuted most of his energy into boxing, built himself up like a bull with the help of his coach and dominated most of the boxes in his prime years. However, notice when he changed his coach for a new one, allowed success to get into his head, and started messing with women, he starts to lose his edge, his stamina and struggled much more in fights, despite his bipolar disorder. Bruce Lee was another amazing example of supreme fitness and mentality, thanks to this practice which gave him that much energy to put into training like crazy that for his small frame he could lift ridiculously heavy weights and hold them out for long periods of time, while having super fast reflexes and speed. Nikola Tesla is another genius that sexually transmuted his energy into his mind and is able to design machine parts, and I mean every part of a machine, before putting it on blue print!

@Chumbimba I can relate to the feeling. I've had a wet dream in the past and I couldn't remember what the dream was about, so it sort of felt like I was robbed under my feet. A bit later, during a lucid dream, I literally had sex with a woman, which became a wet dream and felt deeply satisfied.

@Arcangelo Don't spoil the secret

@Dryas It's worth giving Nofap a try. From 90 days to 30 days, even if it's for 2 weeks, it feels amazing. Also, if you do relapse, which I guarantee will happen frequently, the masturbation and orgasm you'll feel is incomparable to the masturbation any average guys does for a day or multiple times a day. I've fapped many times a day to different types of porn, had real sex with women, but sorry, nothing compares to releasing sexual energy, either a relapse or when the release is intentional, the orgasm is far more amazing!

@Space First of all, congrates on trying out the Nofap challenge! I've done a few 90+ day challenges and I say it's worth it for most average people to push it to around 30-90 days. The first 1-2 weeks I've experienced the following: A huge increase in energy, so much that when I was doing body weight exercises, I'd be doing more push-ups, pull-ups with more intensity and volume, and I ran for an hour when my limit is 20-30 mins. Even tiring myself out still didn't effect my energy late at night. My brain fog significantly lifted from abstain from porn, slightly more than meditation, and I'm able to think more clearly and articulate my opinions to family, friends and people. My anxiety around people in general decreased and feelings of confidence occur more often whenever I socialize or visualize on things. I felt more positive moods than normal and felt less depressed and lazy. I used to watch porn videos, read both porn comics and erotica, fapped to my imaginations and women, and nothing could compare to the horniness I felt in those 1-2 weeks, especially week 3, than the horniness I felt in the past. If I wasn't meditating and doing some forms of hatha yoga and chi gong, I would be more aggressive than normal. Also, my E.D became a non issue, and had some morning woods more often. My ability to concentrate and meditate went more smoothly, that it almost felt effortless. I felt a strange sensation around my forehead and emotions carry some form of energy. Around the fourth and fifth week was when the flatline occurred. Depression, laziness and strong indifference to people sets in, along with a slight drop in energy and libido. The difference for me here was that I felt a good sense of peace from my horniness. I think flatlines have their value and are probably detoxing effects to the body and mind. If you know what to do during flatlines, I think you'd be fine. In fact, I meditate, contemplate and self-inquire more intensely. Some of my flatlines last anywhere from a week to a month, depending on the degree of energy increased, and the best thing about flatlines is they get shorter over time, in relation to your porn/sex addiction.

Just appreciate that without Christian, and other religious moral codes, most people would behave like animals.

I'd recommend researching food combining, because some foods don't combine as well.

@Lyubov I can relate to the feeling. However, over time I don't care as much for the single statues and the loneliness. That extra time and energy goes to building myself up, instead of worrying about what other people think of me.

@Consciousone35 Could you explain which society, which system, which prison and at which country you think isn't dealing with sex offenders more adequately? Also, could you explain your life purpose more?

Yes, the past defines you.

@flowboy Firstly, the problem isn't limited to sociology, but the essence of it. I think that the act of spreading one's belief is masculine. For example, priests were allowed to preach their religions to other lands and convert the other 'outsiders'. This attitude, literally and metaphorically, is you penetrating, mentally, an idea into other people's minds you think is right. Secondly, those techniques I would also say are rhetorical and for persuasion, to influence or to deflect, and both sexes can do these things to each other. Plenty of examples in informal social settings and in debate forums. Thirdly, by itself, the word 'toxic' can have many negative meanings, and are too general. Do you mean toxic as in poisonous? or as in 'toxic relationship' like in dysfunctional relationships? Here, the toxic is used as in 'toxic masculinity'. For example, machismo males are what I think of when I hear 'toxic masculinity', like criminal, sociopathic/psychopathic males that actually are dangerous (Ted Bundy, Charles Manson), and not the more subtle examples provided by Leo. It's important to keep context in mind, which is what I assume some of the users you've responded to are not keeping in mind, and why you responded the way you did, so no disagreement here. Lastly, are you a libertarian? Because those last few sentences makes more sense if you are, because they value individual freedoms, de-regulations, and property rights. However, here I do disagree because there are ramifications to every action. If we, as a society, left a frat boy to his own devices, without any repercussions, he would take advantage of the situation. If he became violent towards a boy, his justification would be in line with his freedom and right to do so because he is free to do so and he trespassed on his own property. If he assaulted a woman, and she pursued justice against him, his justification in his defense would be because she was violating his property rights of his own body, how she was touching him first, hence she's actually the one that surrendered her property rights of her body to him.

@Forestluv If I'm correct, it originally came from 4chan or reddit, typically used in trolling or to meme ideas. Probably 4 years ago, which means it can mean almost anything at this point. Lately, it has been re-contextualized as racist symbolism.

@RedLine Is suffering also love? My answer would be it depends. If I'm the one perpetrating evil, for example killing people, then I'm in conditional love of what that brings in my experiences, yet I would be suffering prior, during and after each killing. If I'm the one victimized, of course I would be suffering from not experiencing the love that is normal to me, yet some people do derive some enjoyment in being victimized, aka masochistic desires of that suffering. Revenge cycles are also interesting cases of love, too.

@RedLine The misunderstandings of non-duality and being God is true, because people misunderstand what the Ein Sof is, why the Ein Sof reincarnates in each sephirot, and why the Kabbala/tree of life is structured, why each sephirot's are arranged separately as realms yet are connected to each other. The misunderstanding lies mostly with existing within Malkuth, the physical realm, and interpreting other realms and spirit through Malkuth and not, say, raising your consciousness using spiritual methods, astral projecting and channeling into each sphere energetically and so on.

@Bodhidharma Here, you answered your question. As long as you arrive at some sort of peace or understanding with your sexual nature, then it's ok. You might benefit more with doing the old school of pornography, like visualizing your fantasies. That way, you preserve some of your privacy, in your mind and out of sight of your gf. The stuff I said before still stands, working on communication and know when to give your time to her, or when you give yourself some space.

@Red-White-Light That's a good sign to ease off of the investigation. Pushing too far can result in psychosis.

I've heard of him before. Great share!

@Arcangelo Because it's relative. You'd be singing a different tune if this was a family member or friend to you, but because you know little about him, that is proportional to the feeling you'd have, which is very little, which is one benefit of relativity. For example, if you were just a 9-5 cashier who lost a family member, and you want to cremate the body, it's very difficult to bring yourself to go through the entire process because of your emotional attachment to the person and lack of training on handling the body. But thanks to relativity, some other person who's a professional at handling bodies and cremation could do it for you, and would have have little to no emotional attachment to the body, and relatively higher skill of handling bodies compared to you.

@actualizing25 I'll speak from both the exoteric and esoteric branches. Exoteric branches are normal versions of religions, the kind that common folk can follow and handle. To these people, heaven and paradise acts as a security net that nicely justifies away any suffering and wrong given or received. It's partially true that there is a heaven/paradise, but it isn't as simple to hold in mind. The esoteric branch posits heaven/paradise, but in a way that a few out of many can handle mentally and physically with the practices. Each esoteric branch of a religion also has occult knowledge and practices embedded in those branches as well. For example, the tree of life has many modals containing different realms, like Yggdrasil from Norse mythology, the kabbala from Jewish mysticism, Kabbalistic astrology, and so on. Technically, each sphere is a heavenly body/paradise independent from each sphere, yet each sphere serves as a colossal channel of particular energies/vibrations that go from the top sphere (Keter/Uranus) down to the bottom sphere (Malkuth/Terra). You could start working on each sphere, channeling information, astral projecting/soul traveling into each realm, but only after some time is spent on the fundamentals first. That is, if you really want to discover real heaven/paradise.

@Leo Gura I remembered in that video you said you cut out most fruits and vegetables and ate chicken meats and fats if I'm not mistaken. I would recommend if you want to fast, try out bone broth fasting. You'd basically be not shocking your stomach too much if you're now used to eating mostly chicken meats and fats. If long term fasting is painful, maybe short term fast like 16 hours and increase either per hour or by feeling? An idea came to me about your condition, is the stomach problem on the exterior, or just below the stomach? Or is it near the entrance of your small intestine, or near the main veins/arteries flowing? If it's interior, my hunch is that it has to do with either a lack of some type of hormone that lets the stomach create the necessary enzymes to digest different types of food. I think it's alkaline based enzymes for plant materials and acidic for meats, so it might be that your stomach is having some difficulty producing these alkaline enzymes, hence indigestion and pain from starches(potatoes), fruits and vegetables . The other possibility is ulcer due to decrease in mucosae lining in the stomach that helps contain the hydrochloric acids. I hope my intuition helped. BTW your story reminded me of my mother's condition. I'm not allergic too anything so far, and I'm ok eating/drinking ginger/turmeric, but my mother happens to have an allergy to ginger/turmeric for whatever reason. Health is just as strange as reality.

@Bodhidharma I've discussed about pornography here in the past, so it's an old thread. I'll say it depends on your body, mind and astral body. For me, I've been on the Nofap journey as an experiment to see how it effects my health, energy, general mood and magic, and so far I've experienced some benefits on mood and health, but tremendous benefit on energy. In this situation, watching porn is both cheating and risky to do because of blue balls. However, as I'm me, I know my will power and limits, so I can get away with peeking. There are also exceptions to ejaculations, relapse or sexual transmutation, like if I want more charge in my magical operations at certain times and locations, or to celebrate a significant victory in life, or to create a family. You must have a clear purpose as to why you blew your load, otherwise you'd just feel disappointment and depression about relapsing. Of course it depends on the relationship with you girlfriend, is this your soul mate? Is she wife material? Does she want long term? Or short term? Is she your first gf, tenth gf, hundredth gf? Does she want to have kids? You got to communicate well with her. Of course it's natural to have sexual desire! You are a child of both Venus, goddess of love, and mars, god of war! Sexual desire is what creates forms on this planet, including you. Work on the masculine before the feminine aspects of you, and don't complain about your sexuality! Embrace it like a spear, you're body's nature is masculine, hence dick. I don't mean to offend if your identify with other gender roles/sexual orientations, but if your biological sex is male, it's very likely your astral body is also more male than female energy, so you must work with the energy that is below on the physical realm, to effect the above astral realm and beyond, hence 'As above, so below.". Maybe do isometric/calisthenics workout, martial arts, yoga, sexual transmutation on creative hobbies you like. General tips with your gf relationship; work on your communication, maybe do emotional work, and spice up your sex life. If you get into those fights with gf again, aikido the energy and tease her up, be playful, say the porn was a warm-up and you're the main course. You can come up with somethin creative to make the relationship exciting. Best of luck!

The only way Trump wins is when the opposition blunders. That simple.

Remember, a real man embodies the force of the pillar, and imposes his will into penetrating reality, literally or metaphorically. This is the essence of a life purpose. Mike Tyson is one among the handful of masterful boxers in the ring. Despite his bipolar disorder, he trained tirelessly while remaining celibate for five years, and transmuted that sexual energy into his boxing career. In my view, he's among the greats of boxing for sure. Also in my view, boxing has it's place and time but calling it low consciousness or high consciousness is disingenuous. That spectrum only refers to consciousness, not the contents. Remember that evil human beings can be enlightened and high consciousness too. Also, shaolin monks are high consciousness fighters too.

@Iksander Not so fast. Are you arguing about morality, or ethics? Without morality, you'd be as close to psychopathic as you can be, without a moral compass signaling what feels right or wrong, it's that easy to do a lot of damage without any awareness of it. Here, morality is like intuition. As bad as humanity has and still is, a moral compass keeps humanity at bay. Ethics is what you seem to be on about, so it's very simple: You can speak about your discipline, but not the discipline of most people. In fact, it's also thanks to ethics, aka 'social contracts, that you've survived this far. Like morality, without ethics, some people will come after you and do you harm without any fear of breaking any enforced rules.

@roopepa In the astral, or in your dreams?
