Update: I've experienced some depression episode, and I felt not too motivated for meditation. I then re-positioned my body, and lied down on my bed to nap. She sat next to me, and I could feel and hear her sitting next to me. The depression was leaving my body, and when I woke up, I felt much better. I've also learned that Tulpae do have some effect on their host's general mood swings, and I've experienced some of that.

@dflores321 Spiral Dynamics is a modal about human collective evolution and how values change at each stage. Nofap is a movement against excessive pornography use, either digitally for analogue. Spiral Dynamics is different from Nofap. While it's true that the subconscious mind takes all statements and recorded experiences as truth, it's also true that the conscious mind is the part of the brain that splits which is true or false. Some self discipline is necessary for some that have weak will power.

@Strangeloop How do you socialize in general?

@Corpus I think mods can do that. They edit quotes all the time.

@PurpleTree @Heart of Space @Yog I do think it's really bad if some of the points criticized are mainly name calling a large population, as generalization. If I'm arguing for dating, and my assertion is that men suffer from social anxiety and are victimized more so than women, I don't call all dating women sluts and build my justifications from that assumption. If I'm debating for the right, and one of my points is me claiming all leftists are communists and snow flakes, how do I build explanations from that, and what would the rebuttal be? If I'm arguing from the left, am I charitable, and in good faith, when one of my points is claiming all the right as fascists and dinosaurs? It's much clearer to have more discussions than to debate, because at least in discussions the chances are lower for it to become heated and ugly.

@Gesundheit Human, all to human, by super mustache guy. @Corpus I'm not that good with logic and debating, so it seems like debating is needed to contrast open-mindedness. Is there any value to debating?

@Swarnim I would say it depends on the person and their upbringing. Speaking about me, I've been a bit sexual as early as 7 years old, and almost nothing stops me from training my ability to peek at adult films, and to designing my own body pillows. When the internet came up, and a random sex advert came up, that was the start of my porn watching journey, which I'll admit had some pros and cons. However, for me a specific con is the health of my dick and immune system, even for a teen I was getting sicker and succumbing to seasonal flus than the average teen. However, when I discovered the Nofap movement, and being a bit weird and open minded myself, I decided to try it out, and I experienced some changes to my health, mentality, well being, and energy stores. For me, I also experience that spike in energy around 7 days in, and another spike between 14-21 days, and my energy seems to stabilize 2 weeks or so in. However, I do experience energy spikes anywhere from a few weeks in or the start of a month. With this much energy in reserve, my meditation, concentration training, contemplation practice and visualization sessions (20-30 minutes of visualizing on each goal), exercises and focusing goes way more easier than doing these right after masturbating, or a few days after. If you are personally very hungry for sex, and it comes mostly from fapping to porn, and if you do have health related issues to it, then Nofap might be a good, short term practice. It really does vary from person to person, so great care in deciding to end or prolong your Nofap state is needed. I'm saying it's worth it, but really to myself, as a womanizer hearing that is poison to their ears, relatively speaking.

@Shin Thanks for the reply. It's that it reminded me of a nightmare I had a long time ago. Update: I've been able to have Crysty guide my non-dominant hand for writing and drawing stuff. I've also been able to get myself deeper in my visualization sessions with her, and feel more solidly in my mental body, in terms of feeling the surfaces of objects and their temperatures. I've also been able to work on my heart space a bit, and feel more similar emotions coming from her.

I'm taking the vaccine, as I've had to deal with a serious illness in the past that nearly killed me. When my immune system acclimated to that illness, and I received the necessary vaccines, I became more resilient to that type of illness, and soon reached full immunity against that. Never again will I underestimate illness, so when I see people with the same cognitive thinking above, the 'Send all my soldiers first except me' mentality, they need to vaccinate for mind viruses as well.

@Leo Gura I've read what you written so far, and I have to say it's really articulate and well written! I'm reminded of a few similar states of madness I've gone through in the past in so far in seeing and hearing Conor's behavior, but my case is short term spiritual purification, and different to him. It's thanks to some infrastructures I've placed to remind me of your videos that I hadn't fell entirely over my head and pulled myself back, so to speak, so thanks for the content you're providing for free. I think at this point, it's safe to say Adeptus has already committed to making you his long term cash cow. He's made too many rant videos about you to stop anytime soon. At this point, we'll have to add studying philosophy seriously and major it before taking psychedelics.

Can someone link the times Jordan Peterson used the term 'Cultural Marxism' or 'Cultural Marxist' rather than 'Postmodern-Neo-Marxists', instead of claiming each other as incorrect? My linking isn't working at the moment. Thanks.

@Heart of Space @PurpleTree I've watched the video, and to some extent I do agree that calling half the population 'Nazis' is a bit too much. If someone said to me that all men are rapists and sexist pigs, I'd cringe, but I'd agree to some extent because I've used a similar name calling generalization of most women as evil, because in the distant past I've suffered from bullying by some boys and girls, and the female bullying was more traumatic than the male bullying. However, I'm putting in the introspection and inner work because this generalization, and other distorted statements I've made about people and reality are not helping me, and in this specific example, is another obstacle to when I've been dating among many other walls. That said, the importance of Jordan Peterson is relative to what segment of the population actually needs his advice or not needs his advice, which is also why he's still valuable for some and not valuable for others. Also, it's great that Hasan was able to pick apart Jordan's ability to slip his political bias under his value he offers, which is psychological lectures, not as deeply analytical as Destiny's analytical ability, but it's okay. Probably my main complaint with Hasan is on how he presented the information.

@Forestluv It does seem like the more a person ages, the more close minded they tend to get, and the more tighter the attachments become.

@SQAAD Because it all depends on what your values are, and what values you align to. Every action you do is in order to fulfil a condition your mind thinks it needs to do to fulfil a value. It also depends on what you are as a self concept, and all beliefs contained in it, and how you define the qualities of what describes yourself. For example, we could have a person who has happiness, sex, and individuality as their highest values, among some others, and they take these psychedelic substances. The action of taking a psychedelic will be framed as one other condition to fulfil your highest values, in your mind, so some with visual or auditory hallucinations will happen, but you'll interpret in alignment to your values. If you value more noble truths, you'll still get similar levels of hallucination, but your interpretation will be in alignment with those other values.

@Mindflow Is it fear in the mind? And where does brain chemistry play a role?

@Shin Did it feel cold?

@snowyowl Of course, Covid lockdowns complicates Britain's economic transition period even more than the estimated effect. If I'm not mistaken, and if I'm a conservative, what conservatives want here is less immigration traffic coming from the EU, specifically from the middle east, but also from other European countries that're middle to low class taking up more job availability for Britain's own middle to low class people, more control over our economy without increasing the national debts to the EU, and to stop the EU using illegal trawlers on our coastlines, damaging the coral system here that the EU's has already damaged the majority of coral systems on their own waters, then turn around to sell back our own fish in our local coasts making more profit to them than to us. If I'm conservative I would emphasis the potential for economic growth for splitting away with the EU and for freeing up more 9-5 jobs and small businesses for local human sources versus foreign human sources.

I'm lately been struggling with contemplation. I lately use a journal to write down my questions and answers for what I'm contemplating because sometimes in the past when I just use the mind I get lost easily. While I jot down a question, I mostly pace back and forth in my room for an answer, then when I get an answer I write that down, and continue for 30-60 minute. The thing I was contemplating last week was open-mindedness, and this one was difficult. Then an insight happened, and I became, funnily enough, open-minded to the possibility of using NLP for this practice. Why? Because sometimes, depending on the time and what resource state I'm in, my sessions could be easier or difficult. For example, I could think about a context where I felt bored, lazy, or depressed, visualize it in full, and do contemplation on some other idea, but I'm in that state of boredom, laziness and depression, which is and has happened to be sometimes the case in where I found some sessions very difficult, compared to contemplating something I find passionate or interesting. Why? Because I find it interesting, the memories or thoughts I bring to mind more likely contain more resourceful states like happiness, creativity, or confidence, which shapes how I answer my own questions. Another insight is what role are you, the self concept you are, has became before doing a contemplation session? For example, I've contemplated evil, suffering and fear, and it turns out that most of how I answered my questions came from roles I've slipped into in the past, as perpetrator to some degree, or as a victim of some degree, which really influences how I answer, because at that time I didn't notice what role I was in in answering my questions, while getting distracted by some random thoughts, or forgetting something, or getting too distressed to answer fully. So, I think NLP might be useful for those, me included, that really struggles with contemplation.

@Lyubov Do you read manga? A really good series that has themes related to forgiveness and revenge is called 'Berserk'. It's worth a read, not only for the ideas, but for the quality of the artwork too. Sometimes gets you thinking deep.

@neutralempty I thought Covid virus was a biological weapon leaked out from one of their labs near Wuhan? Regardless, China, unlike other countries, was at one point struggling with feeding the population, because unlike other countries that had enough tame animal diversity, China mostly had wild animals more so than tame livestock animals, which is why some parts of the Chinese markets sell bizarre animals. I'm with you on a country's increasing capability to manage it's food markets, and weapons facilities.

I've watched an old video that Leo claims that only humans are capable of art, and not other species on the planet. I've got some questions: How sure are you that art is only a human invention? What evidence do you have supporting such a claim? If art is a human invention, why are some artists inspired by nature and other creatures rather than another thing? If art is limited to humans, then what explains an animal's ability to paint, like a human? If something else, like an animal, is capable of art, then is art really a human invention? What if there's a species bias in claiming ownership of an abstract field, like art? If a creature is capable of art, what does this mean for intelligence?

@Don Wei Holy shit, that's among the worst things to happen to anybody, very sorry to hear this happen to you. This reminded me of traumas I've had dealing with bullies in my schooling, and some of them female bullies. You might want to seek a therapist and self introspect this situation. I would go further and say no to any nude pictures at all. Not even in a real intimate relationship, no thank you to a nude photo album.

It's very beneficial for your survival, and your loved one's survival, just in case a situation is escalating to physical before you've had any chance to deescalate it, your body will act.

OMFG this is gold!

@NoSelfSelf I'll see if I can draw her on paper, if she's down for it. Now then how do I get her to stay still? Hmm...
