Disculpe. No one was answering so I figured the thread would die out. @Carla @abrakamowse We can communicate via private messages.

Easy - if you think it's sexy for a guy to be sweaty, it's the same for us. @Sarah_Flagg Oh...so he watched you finish, huh?

@Leo Gura You talk about how easy it is to fall off track. How often did you detour from self-actualizing, what was the longest time frame and what were the reasons?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@Sigma Yeah, Tesla was celibate and Newton died a virgin. So those are examples of great scientists channeling their energy in the right way. However, I'm curios...have you ever had a wet dream? Any sexual thoughts at all? Or do you just unlearn everything?

It's simple - people don't want to see you succeed. I'm becoming more and more aware of it every single day. Especially if they have known you for a long time and are stuck in a certain mindset. You should be really careful about who you hang out with, what you share etc. because others will always try to bring you down.

As far as I know, sex is one of the basic biological urges. So pretty much everyone (except asexual people) needs it. Now, learning to control or surpress the need is something entirely different. I'd say I've been relatively successful in this department. Well, I was basically a virgin till a few months ago. The thing is, like any other activity, it becomes less important while you are engaging in it frequently/you know it's guaranteed. Transmuting sexual energy is something everyone should learn because it's extremely powerful. That being said, I would prefer to have sex as much as possible for the next 10-15 years (I'm 25) than find myself one day being 60 and feel like I've missed out on ton of great experiences. I already feel that way actually, so yeah. Debatable. @Leo Gura I hope you're trolling

Is it the same? Is it necessary? Choosing one and only one to do in life always sounded scary to me. Even as a kid I had mutliple interests. I dreamed of being an astronaut, a paleontologist, an animator...and various other things. I know that Leo said most people fail because they never stick with something. But in this day and age of constantly expanding opportunity and choice...it's so hard to focus only on one job/profession/aspect of life. Maybe we need to revisit our understanding of a career. What if self-improvemt is my life purpose? What if I want to get excellent all my hobbies? I still need to understand myself and reach a certain level of maturity before I can help/teach others. I just want to explore life to the fullest.

Although some of it might be bullshit or too dogmatic it is an interesting read. Has a lot of techinques in there too.

Perhaps applying what you learned from the videos in real life?

Man, I hate when girls do this. I understand the reasoning and it has certain benefits but a lot tend to overdo it. It sparks an interest at first but after a while it gets frustrating and kills off the attraction. For the love of God, girls...don't do it.

25 and counting. Also this is a good thread for a poll. Consider it OP.

If there is mutual attraction why not? If the first date doesn't really "go anywhere" in terms of physicality I tend to look at it as failure on my behalf. Eeehh. I think you should be trimmed, at least? I like cleanly shaven private parts more and I tend to keep myself the same way when going out on a date. Legs and pubic hair are important areas. You should do whatever feels right to you but going too wild might not be the best. Depends on the guy. I don't have that much experience so a wild hot girl might scare me and put pressure on me to perform.

Think outside of the box. Make connections between seemingly unrelated events/topics. Innuendo. Watch stand up comedians, study how they act, try to get into their mindset. Write down what appear to be funny situations in your life and practice telling them to others. Try impressions, alter your voice. Spice things up a little, create a rich story.

I am currently approaching dating in this manner. It has worked pretty well so far.

We already have a subforum dedicated to this. However, there's nothing mightier than the pen. Sitting on a desk, writing down your thoughts in your own unique way, having them on a piece of paper is way more powerful than just typing on a keyboard. You create a habit of reviewing your day, planning ahead and monitoring your thoughts. It grants you with a sense of stabilty. The key here is to be persistent. You have to write even if you don't feel like it. I'd say 4-5 days a week is a pretty good average. You can also doodle a bit to illustrate your current state of mind. Go back and review some of your earlier writings, see what you achieved, what you didn't and if there are certain emerging patterns.

You've probably had this feeling. Maybe you've experienced it recently, perhaps you've felt it your entire life. I've always had trouble relating to people my age. Even as a kid I would sit at the dinnes table and discuss various topics of interest with the adults while the others are outside playing games. Needless to say, that leaved them impressed but cemented my role as an outsider. It never really changed - it has always been incredibly difficult to find people with similar interests and mindset as me. When it comes to romantic relationships it's even harder. I am facinated by the pure beauty of younger girls...untill they open their mouth. I am left feeling disappointed, annoyed, bored or disgusted. Mature women are more interesting to me (in their late 20's, thirties or even forties). You can learn so much from this sort of relationship and expand your horizon. Now, I know there are exceptions but they're exactly that - exceptions. What about you? Ever feel like being disconnected from your generation and having trouble relating with people of similar age range?

I hate threads like these. Attention seeking at its finest.

Hey, Daphne. Good luck with the meditation and your actualized journey!

Just make sure not to quit too many habits at once. Start steady and replace bad ones with new productive ones.

Being in perfect alignment with your trueself. Being calm and at peace in evey situation life throws at you. Making well thought-out and objective decisions. Happiness and transcendance. So basically - Yoda.

The problem with this is actually taking the pciture while doing the activity. You need someone to take it for you. I would have a lot more success if I had someone take a photo of me while playing tennis, riding my bike, doing yoga, headbanging in a rock show. Instead I'm left with selfies.

How do you go about recording a video? Describe the process. Do you write an article beforehand and read from it or do you have notes flying around? How do you decide what topic is the video going to be on? Do you plan it beforehand or just whatever feels interesting this week? Do you plan on changing the videos in some way and expand with new different content?
