@Blackhawk In the interview it's not just Tom Delonge but Curt Jaimungal and others. Sorry if one person spoiled you from watching the whole video.

In this video it's a re-edited video of another podcast video not in Curt's channel, talking about UFOs. What are your thoughts about the podcast? What would you have done differently if you were in that interview?

Forgot to mention this was a re post that's edited from before. For the most part, they don't discuss in too much detail UFOs as some of it is still classified, especially around skin walker ranch. I'm surprised they didn't bring up Colares, the battle for Los Angeles, the roswell crash site, STAR gate although they briefly talked about that, brought up a bit about consciousness, not much about human abductions, or meta materials or Alien psychic abilities.. Basically a mix of rehashed talking points plus talking around points with little elaboration and challenge. I assume it's common in podcasts to not be too challenging or elaborate?

@Phil777 Another benefit from semen retention, is for some men they stop feeling like their dying every time they ejaculate. Regardless if it's fapping, or real sex, something about the ejaculation and loss of sperm causes some men to feel really sick, ranging from phantom pains to strange sore throats/colds. To me this part isn't a placebo for the most part, you actually physically feel like you're dying much less.

@mmKay Ideally, spiritual stuff stays in the spiritual sub-forum, and political stuff in political sub-forum, to keep normies from getting shocked.

I'm having some problems in starting and maintaining eye contact, not just with women in particular, but with people in general. Does anyone have some advice in how they've overcome this issue?

I forgot to mention that I have some partial blindness in boths eyes so I'm having to try to look past that dot to see faces as well.

@itachi uchiha My thoughts on sufism, is to do it on an empty stomach and surround yourself in soft things. Those spinning dances if done right, you'll be falling over in ecstasy and bliss. However spinning to enlightenment isn't my preferred path.

@Raptorsin7 I'd get condoms, and be willing to spend extra for high quality condoms if the normal ones impede sensitivity. Always pull out when you feel like you're over 50/50 of ejaculating. Unless there's more to the situation or other factors outside sexuality, then take a break from casual sex, or continue.

@Roy For me, I've disliked their presentation style, but other than that you've put into words my dislike of them as ideologues.

@fopylo It's a pretty good quote on traps, I assume spiritual related traps. Who was the person that said the quote?

@Blackhawk Not worth discussing? The person or the topics?

@unreal8 Breathwork is good to do, to improve one's breathing in general. It's a bit different from shamanic breath work or Wim Hof's version of shamanic breath work, those specific practices involve higher rates of breathing and slightly more forceful inhale to exhales of breath which can be dangerous if you have ussies with your lungs, or with the diaphragm, or with high blood pressure. Why high blood pressure? Well, Wim Hof's version involves, in one part of the process, inhaled hold for as long as you can. If you hold the breath, and you don't realize that you are holding the full inhale while being a bit too tensed in your stomach to chest area, then you can inadvertently increase pressure to your neck to head which adds internal stress to the cardiovascular system. You can also develop tinnitus if you do this too forcefully. Just general improvement for how you breath is enough. Breath through the nose, hold the inhale for 3-4 seconds, breath into your belly and let you solar plexus and chest expand with air a little bit, then breath through the nose for 5-6 seconds and let the chest, solar plexus and belly deflate naturally. Good for re energizing the body in general..

For those of you wandering what she sort of looks like, I found an image with similar appearances to hers:

Sorry this is the video:

@MarkusR Which one you value and do first, do the other as well. Ultimately, having both broad and specific knowledge is great.

@Ulax Thanks. I always tell myself if I talk to strangers 'maintain eye contact, maintain eye contact. Keep looking at their eyes'.

Hello all. As I mentioned, I had two other materials I would cover. Here I'm covering compressed charcoal, and some soft pastels. With the compressed charcoal it's the same company, and in it is a set of 6 charcoals, 2 hard, 2 medium and 2 soft. Here is the image below: On the left page is compressed charcoal. From top is hard charcoal, the middle is medium charcoal and the bottom is soft charcoal. Each piece has a length of about 1 inch, a width of 1 centimetre and a height of about half a centimetre. Each piece looks almost jet black, and has a weak shine from the compressed nature of it. They also feel very solid and smooth in the surface. Each piece, because of it's rectangular prism shape, is held not using the tripod grip like a pencil, but is modified grips, from overhand to underhand, with some modified tripod grip at the far end of the piece. Also, there's still charcoal pigments left on my fingers from holdingthe pieces, but not as much as willow charcoal, and is cold to the touch. On the left column was me doing a few lines, using the corners and the short edges at the end, to see hear and feel what the tools is capable of. I learnt that for most grips, if you want to use the corners for details is doable, but if you want to use the edge to construct a line, like a horizontal line, then placing the index finger on the end being drawn from does keep a consistent pressure for the line, but even there I still apply lighter pressure and pay attention to how my drawing implement is rubbing against the paper here. The feeliing of the friction between the paper and charcoal tells me a lot, and I sometimes get into a meditative state from that. In the middle column was me using the edhe not parallel, but perpendicular to the direction, which produced the broad strokes you see. When I was using overhand grip, after a few strokes I tested the degree of smudging using my middle finger pad, which was quicker with that grip, and it has an oily greased feel. It smudges better with the medium to soft charcoal. The right columm is a partial construction of faces, to see how the materials do when I create lines, shade in, render and smudge for values.

@Gregory1 I have seen all the videos, and contemplated the advanced topics and basic topics. You're post is mostly blaming, which was what I was pointing out. You parroting points against a movement, while lumping me into that group, which I am not a part of nor support. Don't include me into a delusional group, despite how my personal problem matches their talking points about the vaccine. My problem is real, while theirs are mostly parroting each other, with a few being actually experienced, which may have originally started from actual cases where vaccine side effects, dating back to the traditional vaccines that contained aluminium as a base, which correlated to some developing cognitive decline faster, and a percentage of the population being born with autism and ADD disorder, which is partially true. You were barging in here being generally negative isn't helpful at all.

Every perspective has some partial truth.

@Gregory1 It's not the complete picture.

@RMQualtrough It's an interesting topic, a bit different from free will vs determinism/fate. Yes, it feels like you are moving your hands and choosing that way, but really focus on that impulse while remembering how the hands have been moving. A series of movements in time past, and not a thought arise of 'I'm moving these hands' when you were roughly 3 or less old. You had 3 years of thoughtless practice of moving your body, without too much attachment to the body or self awareness for the most part, until you were conscious of your reflection plus mimicry of sounds that a thought of the self is formed. What is real is stuff that has more permanence versus less permanence in the physical domain. Then there's non-physical stuff, which is where you can label as hallucinations or imagination in the common sense. Here, what isn't imaginary is the physical stuff relatively speaking, but that's also consciousness elements too, just like illusions.

@BlackPhil Figuratively speaking it is a few. for every 100 to 1000 cases, there are roughly 100,000 to 1,000,000 who don't have that kind of reaction to vaccine. Figuratively speaking only. Thanks, I will get better soon, for the doctor's sake I better get well soon, or ask for a refund.

@Phil777 Yep, there are spiritual benefits to the practice, as long as spiritual practices are done alongside the celibacy.
