@Leo GuraPeople who say sleep doesn't happen are fucking hypocrites .then why you sleep like a fucking baby 15 hours every day ?and then you deny that sleep exists. Gross double standards.

That’s an interesting question, and I’ll answer it by taking a more pseudo nihilist approach, I would say nothing has meaning until we give it meaning. People (or sentient beings) are the creators of meaning of the universe. For example, when you are born, there is no particular meaning behind it. You are born because your mother and father had sex, you are just a consequence of their intercourse. It is up to you, to find meaning in your life. Something that you live for. There really isn’t a definitive meaning to anything. Either there is a disturbing abundance of meaning in the universe, or there is no meaning in the universe, it’s just an infinite flow of cause and effect. (Unless you believe in pre-determinism and theology). I’ll be honest, I like questions like these that really get me thinking. Anyways, have a good one Leo.

You are correct. Why the hell should I do the difficult work to attract real women in my life when I can just masturbate to any type of women I want? It sure is more appealing to stay in my comfort zone. But let's face it..I'm probably never going to sleep with super hot models like pornstars ..so it's ’s quite difficult to find a good substitute for porn. Im dealing with porn addition. The more you watch porn and masturbate, the farther you are from reality and real good quality sex with a real woman. Not sure, if i am Interested in women and having sex with them for now, or not…But probably in the future, i will fall in love and problems will come to my bed. Porn videos are a kind of fantasy world, where women are always sexy, horny, and ready for sex. And happy end happens every time ? That is far not truth in real relationships. The picture is bright, and emotions are high. You can be a real sex hero with your hand. But what will happen when things will come to reality? I can tell ..no erection or if i get one, it will be difficult to cum with a real woman. It will be a real problem that can destroy my private life.

Because I suck at attracting women. I always come off as a desperate immature boy when I approach women

I was browsing my old threads and I stumbled upon a funny comment from one of the members here which is @Yarco the subject of the thread was pascal's wager .which I can put it briefly as following : 1-if you believe in God and there is God you win(go to heaven). And if there is no God you don't lose anything. 2-if you DON'T believe in God and there is a god ..then you risk going to hell . Here's what @Yarco said : " If God is really all-loving then he'll overlook all the degenerate shit I've done and let me in regardless. If heaven is an infinity of mandatory worship, I think I'll enjoy a free life and take hell instead. I like the atheist Matt Dillahunty's take on this -- God is the equivalent of an abusive parent who threatens to lock you in the basement and torture you if you don't behave or tell them you love them. That makes God immoral, and I'm not going to negotiate with a terrorist just to avoid eternal suffering, so fuck God. Generally though I think that the closer you get to death, the more pascal's wager seems appealing. If you live to 80 then you can start to sincerely repent and you don't have much to lose. You got to live your life how you wanted and then you can just take it all back at the last moment. Only problem is if you die suddenly in a car accident or something before you reach that point". I laughed so hard at this ?

@Yarco yes we are obviously talking about the asshole called the Abrahamic God. The true god is of course within ourselves. You know, Bertrand Russell was once asked, “Suppose when you die you find yourself in heaven, standing before God and he says, ‘Why didn’t you believe in me.’?” Russell said, “I would reply that you didn’t provide sufficient evidence.” After all if there were a god that wanted everybody to believe in him, he could certainly do something convincing like spell out his name in stars every Thursday night. It seems that the Judaic, Christian, Islamic god wants everybody to believe in Him, not based on evidence, but based on an act of will called faith, motivated by fear of eternal torture. In other words to be an intellectual coward.

yes it is a basic life need, just like food, clothes and shelter.. So yes it is necessary. Now some might argue that you can live without it, well, so can you without clothes. But you need them. You can abstain from it, but it is a basic necessity, whether you exercise it or not is up to you.to everyone, but to some it is. It is the cherry on top, the icing on the cake. It makes you see life in brighter colors. It is an experience like any other and it’s unfortunate some people don’t get to experience it often or don’t get to experience it at all. Fortunately I exist in the Internet era where endless supply of naked women are under my fingertips (pornography). I don't know what would I have done if porn didn't exist (to surface-level satisfy some of my sexusl cravings ). I would have probably killed myself ?

@Tyler Robinson I said this because I'm actually sexually suppressed. It's kinda odd that you agree . Are you sexually suppressed as well,if you don't mind asking?

I don't know .but first thing or the backbone is to satisfy all your desires fully .especially to sex.

Awareness alone is curative. Just Be aware that Not having materialistic desires is BETTER than having them. What I'm saying is that making money for things like cars, jewelry, and things you don't even need is NOT the only way to life live. Infact, it's one of the worst ways to live life. You'll forever be stuck in an endless loop of buying the latest gadget or the new cool thing to make yourself happy. I find that sort of living shallow. Others might disagree, but there's more than one way to live life. Personally ,I don't have any materialistic desires(except maybe some sex lol) and I'm happy I don't. I don't need to buy a fancy car etc . You just need to find your passion. Do you want to help other people as it makes you happy? Do you want to travel the world and experience all that it has to offer? Just do what makes you happy. There is no one way to live life. Don't go by other peoples standards of what should make you happy, majority of the people are idiots .

@Tyler Robinson ?

In a way, it is, emotionally, but not literally. Our gut has an intelligence greater than some small animals. The gut is our “2nd brain”! The heart has many more times electromagnetic power than our brain, and NEVER needs “down time” as our brains do when we are asleep.

I get this feeling sometimes..in facing all the complications and the shit we endure in life..isn't it tempting to just jump off a tall building or hang yourself and be done with it all ? Of course the only problem is fear .death is the number one thing we fear .and we also don't know what comes after death .maybe its something worse than our current shitty life . This is all making me sick thinking about those psychological dynamics and the amount of fear and insanity that goes in our lives. My only question..is there Hope ?

@Atb210201 you're welcome bro. Try to recognise that you have your whole life to ‘figure it out’ and that life is more of a wave than a straight line. The wave will always go up and down it will shift and change, one moment you’ll be in the perfect position the next you’ll be under water. Let go of the pressure of absoluteness and perfection and hold compassion towards your self. Some people never figure it out, some give up on trying, some stress there whole lives about getting there, others choose to live and to love the process not the end. Learn to love the process as opposed to figuring it out, avoid being a donkey chasing the carrot hanging from a stick and string. Good luck on your journey!

Why ? Why you feel the need to know? Aren't you looking for the good feeling that accompanies this knowledge (finally, I know ) ? Now this might sound like drifting from your original question..but I suggest that you foreget about figuring death out ..and start by figuring life out first . If you feel like you have no idea what you're doing with your life at 17 it's understandable, but if you're over 30 and pretending you're a kid without any real goal ahead of you. Well you might have a problem. In truth you're never have your entire life figured out but it's important to know what you want to work toward. “A boat without a destination is left at the mercy of the waves". It all starts with figuring out who you are, what makes you happy and what would you like your life as you move forward.

Well..you will die soon(as you believe)and you will know ..why the hurry to know beforehand?

They are not any less or more real than any other state of consciousness. There Is no degrees to the "realness " of consciousness. But there are degrees to the intensity of consciousness. And its easily verifiable when you drink caffeine or smoke a joint that you enter a higher state of consciousness. Same with mystical experiences. They are not more real than your ordinary state of consciousness . But they are higher In intensity. Yea .reality is what you are experiencing right NOW. Not sure how does that mean there is no reality? Death is a belief. There Is no actuality whatsoever to death other than a thought you are imagining right now (since we agree that reality is only what we are experiencing right now ). You don't have to die or fall asleep to experience "nothingness ". Nothingness is everything you are experiencing right now. This is all nothing. Science has proven that 99% of physical matter is empty space.

Do you want a rock solid erections ? Morning wood ? Wet dreams? And Tons of sexual energy and libido ? Try Maca. Ever since I started taking Maca I’ve had earth shattering orgasms and it always astounds me lol. I know typically people’s sex drive goes down with orgasms but I’m really amazed by the force of my ejaculation.

@Spiral And who said its "outside of sexual context "? You take these maca roots for a few weeks and then you can make love to your spouse/girlfriend more intensely.

Yes .mystical experiences are a variety of the infinite states that consciousness can take . You are always in some state of consciousness. Whether you are high on drugs ..horny ..hungry ..tired..sleeping ..dreaming ..having a mystical experience etc.....it's all different states that consciousness can take .

Good question. Think of it this way..All there is is consciousness. Consciousness can take different forms. Or consciousness can be formless .deep sleep is simply formless consciousness. And the waking state is formed consciousness. But in the ultimate sense of course this duality must collapse..something =nothing. "form is emptiness, emptiness is form. "-Heart Sutra

Words are not subtle enough. Existence cannot be elaborated. It cannot be defined AT ALL .because we only got one existence. So what are you going to define existence relative to, when all that there is ,is existence? To define something..you need to have something else in order to define it in terms of that something else...but what else is there but existence? Hence it cannot be defined. It can only be experienced . Meaning you can't know it linguistically. Only by direct consciousness/being.

Though there’s no research noting the negative side effects of consuming too much maca, some studies say a small percentage of customers have reported issues like jittery feelings, insomnia, and mild digestive issues..typically from first-time users and those still adjusting to the product. So yeah its possible to overdose. And 10-15 grams are indeed too much . . The effective doses range from 2 grams to 3 daily. But you can start small as your body gets acclimated .

There is a lot to say here .but I will try to give you practical steps 1). Supercharge your sexual energy If you want to transmute sexual energy you must change your habits. You cannot keep mindlessly fapping to the porn, have sex to everything that moves and ejaculate left and right. Semen Retention has been practiced and taught by Chinese taoists for over 5,000 years. It’s the biggest contribution from chinese to the human kind in my opinion. Semen retention was used primarly to conserve man’s energy and increase his longevity. So yes ..when you practice it you’ll have more energy and live longer. Because there is no SCIENTIFIC proof, most people discard it, but just try an experiment: -Have sex one evening with ejaculation -Have sex another evening without ejaculation Now compare how many hours of sleep you need and how fresh you are feeling in the morning. That’s all the scientific proof you need. So you really need to supercharge your sexual energy .. go on 1 month , 2 months, 4 months non-ejaculation phase. Your energy will skyrocket and with enough control you’ll be able to last however long you want in bed, as long as you ejaculate. This is the tricky part. Because you want to gather, conserve sexual energy, but you also want to rotate that energy..and exchange energy with women. You gotta practice lots of things .. like kegels, control, edging, relearn your masturbation to be able to retain semen AND have sex. 2). Arouse Yourself When you retain from ejaculation for extended time you’ll notice you’ll be vibrating with sexual energy. It may be even too explosive energy that distracts you from work or doing your daily obligation.. That’s where meditation and Qi Gung energy rotation will come handy. But…the way you start using this explosive energy is by thinking of erotic thoughts, embracing erotic thoughts in your mind when you need that extra kick. You’ll feel the colors changing around you, your mind becoming sharp and whole body vibrating with arousal. That’s when you move to step 3: 3).Trick your mind Become in the habit of using your horniness and arousal to think of your goals, dreams. It will get you moving. Imagine sex scene coming through as you accomplish your daily or quarterly goal. Then with that desire in mind, complete the task. You’ll find out you breeze through even the most mundane, challenging tasks. But here’s the warning: You must have clearly defined goals - long-term, short-term goals for this to work. Only then you’ll be able to direct your attention effectively. And remember, it starts with the first step: Disciplining yourself and retaining from ejaculation. Read the book “Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity” to learn more how to do it, how chinese practice it..etc. Taoists are the best source if you want to learn how to properly practice semen retention.
