@AtheisticNonduality Have you tried not jerking off for long periods of time?

I still remembered how dismissive and insulting it felt when I stumbled on his anger video. Because at that time I had high stress and anger issues I was willing to watch the whole video despite being weirded out with his appearance. After I finished, I felt insulted about how he belittled my anger problems, like I don't want to go and question those sets of limiting beliefs around my anger. However, I decided to check his other stuff out, and here I am, a significantly calmer meditator. I think it's worthwhile revisiting those times despite getting a bad impression, you still continue. Maybe that's how these people, aka normies, have felt with Leo's video.

@lmfao Yes, edging too much does get you into that 'zombie' state, but for advanced spiritual practitioners, this state acts like a transitionary phase to go into that sexual and love orgasm, if done correctly. Of course, practice needed. Less fap is more accurate for the beginners. It's usually the guilt trip after a relapse that guarantees more relapses, so a more light hearted way of semen retention is needed more. That's why meditation with this practice is good. Well, about 4 years back there were a few long threads about Nofap, one of those main users being Shine, so Leo had ample time to dedicate just a few vids on how sexuality and spirituality are connected, but for whatever reasons, he didn't go forward with that. For me, the regular occurrences of illness close to my sex binges, my laziness, brain fog and feverishness, painful testicles, I finally decided to give it a go, If anyone also is suffering from P.O.I.S. then that's another valid cause for the Nofap trail runs.

@Chives99 It does need stating, more for me because I tend to forget that every time I jump off a burning sinking ship to a ship, I forget that ship is sinking too, and every ship is not a safe haven so to speak. With the paid porn versus free porn, I think it comes down to accountability, because you are putting some effort into paying the porn, versus easily clicking on every porn vid. Also, you get to shop more consciously versus seeing the free porn thumbnails mindlessly. It's interesting that some people do need to nut before serious work or other activities. That usually drains my motivation and energy more to do those serious works, and my focus even gets a negative hit.

@Rasheed I think high quality porn here is meant by not just the porn being only exciting, but you also feel love and intimacy as well, like it gets your heart pounding as well. The highest quality sexual release is with a non-physical entity, hours of sexual transmutation, leading to multiple orgasms of the balls, the heart, the mind and so on, until it leads to Samadhi. the second highest would be with actual real partner, full body mind orgasm. Lower than that, different types of masturbation and porn that is exploratory, both kinky and intimate types. There are lower levels still, but I think the lowest is digital only, typical porn. Ideally, no porn and do Nofap and semen retention, but I do expect a lot of young men will more than likely seek out porn anyways, so maybe through experience that some people will be able to transcend this addiction for good. Maybe the ones that don't get you arrested, or infect your computer with viruses. That's a start too.

@Martin123 I don't think people will want to call him out on it, but there are a few here that do so. I'm surprised that he has claimed to have researched many spiritual fields, yet won't mention those spiritual fields that utilize sexual energy was a way towards enlightenment, like Tantric Yoga and Daoism energetic branches. It's probably still a lot of sexual karma for him to burn through still. He said in one of his psychedelic videos or his god/infinity/consciousness videos that it'll take a while for most of us to get to his level of understanding and consciousness. Well, it's the same here: It'll take him longer to reach that level of spiritual sexual mastery of the Taoists and Tantric Yogis of Tibet, to utilize sexual energy towards enlightenment.

I'm just glad I'm not in the USA and seeing all this in person. I'm starting to reminisce the 2-3 years of my stay there about 13 years ago.

@Etherial Cat It could be possibly be someone else tweeting.

@Karmadhi That's his problem, not to mention whatever subconscious baggage he has that's reinforcing this frequency. I don't know if his frequency lower significantly or is still relatively high like 7-15 times a day ( further complicating this is he has a gf.). However, to then go and tell other people to freely buy pornographic material is a bit reckless. If you're gonna go into spirituality this hard, why don't he also cover spiritual sexual practices? I really hate when people project their own bullshit onto other people without doing any exploration or work on it themselves. I have a relatively high sex drive, but that doesn't stop me from exploring semen retention and Nofap, due to my adolesence and childhood experiencing strange shit that helped open my mind a bit. To me, being too horny is not a valid excuse to not explore Nofap ,and if you are up to the challenge, semen retention. Eventually, in the future, this practice will be acknowledged as a valid approach, to self actualization and to spirituality, that to deny it would be as ridiculous as to deny that the earth is round, and making such reckless sexual suggestions a ridiculous inhumane act, and transcending that sex karma as an actual worthwhile journey, not as some fringe freak conspiracy theory.

@Karmadhi Actually, not really independent variables. If you happen to have similar or stronger addiction to porn and masturbate several times a day, it's a more difficult circumstance to developing higher consciousness. While you can masturbate to other sexual objects or to other intimate partners, porn is still one materiel that makes masturbating easier to do, more stimulating. Leo hasn't talked zero about semen retention or any spiritual practices regarding sexuality, yet freely gives advice to people combating their strong urges. Not really open minded at all.

@Adam M Which parts do you disagree with Leo's video?

It's now undeniable that semen retention and Nofap can help you with this addiction. However, some here are not open minded and actually try out these practices, and instead make suggestions to go purchase porn without knowing full well of negative consequences, and instead spread this mind virus of porn being super healthy. In other circumstances, these types of people would be punished severely for their spreading of ignorance.

See? Making a suggestion callously with little to no regard for what your actual problems with sexuality, what your sexual needs actual are at, what degree of porn addiction you are at. Maybe until you've actually done the practices, done semen retention and made a video about it we would take your suggestion more seriously. Some hardcore spiritual masters have channeled their sexual energy into enlightenment.

@Ananta This is what most people are missing nowadays, a dispassionate view of politics like you have. It's a rarity.

@herghly I would start with the links below, and do their visualization practices. They're very hard, but worth the effort. http://somatosphere.net/2015/varieties-of-tulpa-experiences-sentient-imaginary-friends-embodied-joint-attention-and-hypnotic-sociality-in-a-wired-world.html/ https://www.tulpa.info/

@Keyhole Weed out what? We're not talking about kinder gardening and weeding out some weeds. We're talking about how you're wishing ill will on Trump, a human being like you, you're other reflection, whilst the justifications for this helps you maintain a separate sense of you from him. Notice that dynamic. While you have empathy and compassion for you and those you know on your side, why not work on empathy for Trump and his following? Remember, they are you too. You can still do your little routine a day, or change a little bit, but the internal change is extremely important because you might as well wish yourself harm whilst thinking you wishing harm to another person isn't gonna hurt you. It will hurt you, sooner or later, in this life or the next.

@Forestluv This is a similar dynamic in me as well. After doing some spiritual practices, I became more sensitive and empathic to the marginalized and the vulnerable. However, I also developed empathy for the perpetrators and the powerful on the other end of this cycle. I've almost found myself, after reading some stories and artwork, sometimes I want the villain to not be killed off cheaply, or to escape and live out the rest of their days elsewhere. Like the antagonists acted as a vehicle for t he unfolding of the story. Without them, there's little energy to push the story forward.

@Keyhole You were clearly displaying a wish of negative consequences on his well being, and only on him. And you justified this for the American people. First off, are you in America even? You're clearly triggered by him on some issue that's directly to you. Be careful, because this obsessive intent for his downfall will one day swing back at you.

Spoiler alert: if non-duality and history will ever teach you something, it's this: you were that person long ago. not just the good or saintly, but the wicked as well. But you forgotten, so here we are.

@Keyhole First of all, what you resist will persist. If most people keep resisting an outcome, that outcome will happen and keep happening in your lifetime and reincarnations later. By accepting, without ideally zero resisting, to little resisting, the outcome will actually change to something else, because you stop feeding the outcome with attention and focus, which almost all problems are fueled by, because focus is energetic. As above, so below, as within, so without. The same is true for blessings and curses. Allowing yourself to fixate on negativity more than positivity will manifest just like cursing, jinxing and hexing a human being. Yes, eventually through synchronicity, that outcome you desire will happen, but the backlash will happen in your life, or in your next life, as compensation for your cursing.

@Michael569 I'd advice against this, because this leads to blue balls, which is swelling of the testicular tubes from both the blood flow of a fully erect penis which sometimes causes the coloring commonly of bluish color, and the testicular chambers filling with seminal fluid. This causes cramping sensations that can last from 30 mins up to 2-4 hours, and rarely more. Sometimes the pain is so intense you do need to either ejaculate to relieve pressure, or lay on bed and sleep it off. On the other hand, it's a nice cheat to experience a Samadhi of your dick. Probably the phallic structures in Yoga are from this.

I wish he recovers and gets better soon regardless of our political conflict against him. I think America still needs to witness more of Donald Trump's actions, regardless if you're a republican, a conservative, a demarcate, a socialist and so on.

@Carl-Richard That's the one! I think it's actually him saying he's mixing that with some other psychedelic at a larger dosage. Is that really a psychedelic?

@Someone here I remembered him posting in that thread about his large dose. I thought it was about him unintentionally sourcing the psychedelic, or lying about some pat of his procedure of administrating the dose. Either way, this is probably a sign more to me, because I've got some trip reports I'm on the fence about sharing despite some being very insightful. I found some really good psychedelics, but I probably will keep this to myself now. What's the point of sharing a trip report, good or bad trip, when you can, like that, get banned? Seems really backwards.

@Forestluv This is actually interesting observation of a manipulator losing some security in himself.
