@Emerald can help you

That is not the main reason (but it is also true) of the flaw I highlighted, it's that society is unable to resolve the high degree of self-hatred and confusion about life they carry and project to others in their virtue signaling, therefore the things that a human being naturally expresses, doesn't get to express to live a balanced life.

you just described a fundemental flaw of human society which is that usually children sing, adults become serious and repressed. they stop expressing themselves and put down others who express which explains the phenomenon of gossip.

I think Yogis reach points where they do not need spiritual practices, but some prefer to do it after attaining something significant, so it's not self-honest. Person who is in yoga is very different than somebody who benefits from spiritual practices like a bogi, the blissful man. You don't have to do a lot of practice to feel blissful, but to make bananas out of apple tree, you need quite something else.

Semen retention does not "force" open the minds eye. You need sadhana, meditation, practice to slowly transition and switch the channels. Yes, semen retention does produce force of potential to be used, but if you have no bliss or no meditativeness in your life, persistant sexual fantasies is all you will have and you will be frustrated, if you manage to persist that, maybe it can happen, but it's very unlikely. If you retain semen and do sadhana, yes you will have growth. You will have more mental clarity, emotional stability and bliss.

I noticed that there is another school of thought regarding people who used omeprazol and pantoprezole for few years (for acid reflux and gastritis), they have tried something else until it has worked for them like one very popular solution is to regularly consume apple cider vinegar, aloe vera juice etc. depending on their problem. I also don't want to sit on omeprazol or pantoprezol, therefore I feel I will solve this problem by a lifestyle change which is not so clearly laid out by the docs I visited. Also stomach ulcer/gastritis can be created by stress alone which only reflective people who can find some time in the day can manage to heal and prevent by a change of their lifestyle. In that case I can see why it can suck. I think they are more helpful for more serious conditions and photo of your stomach ain't that bad if you have researched some solutions for the type of thing you have.

Yoga, shadow work, self-enquiry, sitting in sielence, abstinence, celibacy, fasting.

I had it and still have it. I am also on omeprazol. I am still searching, I have a few things I will do to try to solve it. Seems like a lot of people have it acctually, when I asked around.

I will just state my concern for all of us. We are where we are. The infrastructure for mass enlightenment is simply not there. Nobody knows what to do with their life. This is where we are. We do not know. And if you figure and try to implement everybody starts dragging you back or you get killed for the truth. Perpetual idiots run the world i guess and like sheep we follow it because we don't know any better.

1) You have control over it. But you have to have a very strict lifestyle. Things like vegetarianism, intermittent and prolonged fasing, yoga, bhutta shudhi, practicing releasing psychosomatic disorders with shadow work or poornattva shtithi or nirbhaya dhyaana. 2) work on your Fear of death and fear of suffering by the same technique of nirbaya dhyaana. You can PM, I will send reference to it.

I feel that self inquiry gives you mental clarity when you are low that you can just bear and thrive with life but kriyas will make you blissfull and other things but you just don't know why. Self inquiring increases the power of tought in your cognition in my experience.

@Leo Gura I just want to present how much advice was presented on the OP question versus arguing about nothing for the sake of being correct, so you can evaluate how this forum is functioning.

tough topic. I am definitely buying an apt on loan, even if I am alone for the rest of my life. In northern Europe people tend to buy instead of renting. But I would buy only after the Ukraine war goes into remission and Russian war machine gets exhausted or the Kremlin regime collapses internally.

just chill, don't engage with him. He will pinpoint you on assumptions he does not define. You could box his argument with defining terms like natural, music and birds and his "music is bad for you argument" which he clarifies and criticizes me for not guessing that this was his position, so, you know, let's save our blah blahs. His blah blahs are more important than our blah blahs you know.

ok, i got what you are about, i think there is no point in arguing with you, hahaha. I think this is a good sign of doing what I want with my life instead of this, my bad. Sorry. You would be a good "political streamer" like Hasan. It's very nice poke and run tactic with very generic points on the initial reply, but in a rebuttal this wall of nuancing your point which you didn't explain in your initial reply + with your wall of text recalling some previous convo, god job my dude with this debate brain tactic. It's not that there are no replies to your questions to me but I will give a reply you will nuance it and find another point to criticise and endlessly grift with an insult to the person. So you know.. you can make whatever you want out of this.

Are you sarcastic? Have you ever heard birds? Music does not make you submissive, neither takes away from your willpower. I am sorry but this is just BS. @jacknine119 if you want a genuine and nuanced answer, please ask the musicians about the value of music and what it does to you and how to navigate it. Idk how others would feel about such terrible advice.

And we arrive to the million dollar question, why people can't stay in a relationship as they would like to? Why don't they see the importance of commitment and communication, strange isn't it, while they are speedrunning to get married and procreate almost. A lot of them it seems, just to get divorced!

Why do you think it's a problem? If you do? Try listening to different types of music that don't have lyrics and appreciate the subtlety and vastness of sounds in it. The more you will listen, the more you will hear. I don't have any fantasies when I am listening to music anymore, for a long time. People listen to music for different reasons. Most primary is association with the past emotions and memories. Other could be that it really stimulates immagination. I have been told that my music made somebody very imaginative, maybe that is just your subsoncsiousness (which may or may not have a meaning) communicating and reacting to it. Just see it as it is and accept it. It will reduce it's impact. I experience bliss and piece of mind and I often try to focus on that space where music enters your cognition. I get bored sometimes and not want to listen to anything also.

This topic is very abused and commercialized. But I have two things to say: - Don't welcome, don't try to seek out people who died by suicide (they took their life because they wanted to) because these souls are fragmented and restless and are going to be for quite some time; - I also feel that you should probably avoid (living) people who do occult and cause harm to other people, just for some safety.

I feel like I have been replying too much to you Leo looking just for something to disagree with you from your replies. I am aware of this tendency and basically my criticisms is largely untenable and maybe some points do hold some water. But regardless, I feel it's pointless to argue about stuff directly with somebody about a thread where the point was just different like another guy asking some advice. Mostly I find people like you most valuable, not to put you on a pedestal, and not because that I think you are stupid.

But I would ask to you, do you know how far social and parental influence goes? I know that I and you can't catch yourself doing most of your behavior. Like the more ignorant a person is the less likely he will change and the harder for him to make efforts for change. I mean yes, good to reflect, but I don't believe you do this every time. Maybe 1% of your activity.

It's kinda ironic, but I agree with you, hahaha.

I am apologizing and reflecting on the tendency to look for something to just disagree with somebody. Leo is a figure that is just easier to spot and latch on. Who am I to disagree with somebodies approach on life and life advice, I don't know their background and at that point I am just a hater, which I don't want to be. I am not saying I agree with him also, but I have no problem with him. Just look at how horrible some of the comment sections, especially on the yellow press are. They just come there to spread hatred. I don't want to be that part of the group. Usually the advice Leo gives is pretty good, hence he has some background. Of course some peer to peer, colleague to colleague criticism is healthy, but I am not giving that to him, as I haven't and will not do the proper research on the subject. I kinda realized that I can't criticize anybody really unless I know and practice the subject.
