Try jerking off without porn. Porn will make you artificially horny, but if you are naturally horny enough to finish w/out I think that's healthy.

@Butters the human is a second order illusion created out of the illusion of physics , so it has no capacity to change itself in that way. To become a dinosaur in waking life, you’d have to dream a completely different physics, biology, and memory structure from scratch—not just believe it, but fully hallucinate a new physical framework. Maybe in an astral projection or lucid dream experience you could do it, if that's a capacity you have .

I was wondering why sometimes during my retreat I would spontaneously have uncontrollable, full-body shakes . Immediately preceding an experience I think was possibly the arising and passing away. Interesting, thank you.

Sharing because it's a valuable resource if it agrees with you. But perhaps not for me.

I just used the focus 10 signal from the Monroe Expand app to enhance my Vipassana. Afterward I took a nap and between sleep and wake my coat rack turned into a hooded figure , turned around and glared at me a few times.

Mad honey is a neurotoxin. I know this was probably a joke but yeah.

Yeah I think sticking to one or two is best. Usually to calm the mind I do meta for 10ish minutes , loving kindness, feel it connects me to love which I'm severely lacking , and then I either do vipassana or shiktanza (do-nothing, pretty much similar to vipassana with more open ended field of focus). Like if in vipassana you're picking one sense , maybe sound, with do nothing you're doing vipassana on the whole field. Although for a daily practice I do wonder if I should learn sadhguru's technique, because 20 minutes of daily meditation might not do anything, but 20 minutes of isha kriya might do something. And do vipassana / do nothing on retreat when I have tens of hours to practice

I found an ENTP book , which is pretty rare, and within the second chapter it was saying my dominant function is extroverted thinking 🗿 I think I'm gonna check out that INTP book.... good mbti books are rare and good ENTP books seem nonexistent .

Eh ketamine makes me feel dirty. And I get this weird rebound effect where I'm super chill during the trip and then super anxious when I get off it. Same as dxm, also a dissociative .

I feel like one of the most enlightened theoreticians on the planet but meditating all day for 7 days showed me how much truth, peace and joy I'm missing by being in my head all the time. I think when I'm contemplating I should really start asking myself "but do I KNOW this is true? Or is it just a really compelling intuitive hunch?"

Why you datin someone you don't respect?

Great vow zen monastery if you can afford it. Or any zen center with sesshin. Vipassana is all meditation, no dialogue. But it's the most hardcore.

If you're very disciplined , or very desparate, you can do at home. I'm an extrovert so having a group really helps me. when I'm at home I don't feel like meditating , cause I know it won't do anything, but that's a self fulfilling prophesy

Do you think me , an ENTP, would get value reading the INTP book? We have the same cognitive functions, they're just in a different order.
