@Arcangelo Because it's relative. You'd be singing a different tune if this was a family member or friend to you, but because you know little about him, that is proportional to the feeling you'd have, which is very little, which is one benefit of relativity. For example, if you were just a 9-5 cashier who lost a family member, and you want to cremate the body, it's very difficult to bring yourself to go through the entire process because of your emotional attachment to the person and lack of training on handling the body. But thanks to relativity, some other person who's a professional at handling bodies and cremation could do it for you, and would have have little to no emotional attachment to the body, and relatively higher skill of handling bodies compared to you.

@actualizing25 I'll speak from both the exoteric and esoteric branches. Exoteric branches are normal versions of religions, the kind that common folk can follow and handle. To these people, heaven and paradise acts as a security net that nicely justifies away any suffering and wrong given or received. It's partially true that there is a heaven/paradise, but it isn't as simple to hold in mind. The esoteric branch posits heaven/paradise, but in a way that a few out of many can handle mentally and physically with the practices. Each esoteric branch of a religion also has occult knowledge and practices embedded in those branches as well. For example, the tree of life has many modals containing different realms, like Yggdrasil from Norse mythology, the kabbala from Jewish mysticism, Kabbalistic astrology, and so on. Technically, each sphere is a heavenly body/paradise independent from each sphere, yet each sphere serves as a colossal channel of particular energies/vibrations that go from the top sphere (Keter/Uranus) down to the bottom sphere (Malkuth/Terra). You could start working on each sphere, channeling information, astral projecting/soul traveling into each realm, but only after some time is spent on the fundamentals first. That is, if you really want to discover real heaven/paradise.

@Leo Gura I remembered in that video you said you cut out most fruits and vegetables and ate chicken meats and fats if I'm not mistaken. I would recommend if you want to fast, try out bone broth fasting. You'd basically be not shocking your stomach too much if you're now used to eating mostly chicken meats and fats. If long term fasting is painful, maybe short term fast like 16 hours and increase either per hour or by feeling? An idea came to me about your condition, is the stomach problem on the exterior, or just below the stomach? Or is it near the entrance of your small intestine, or near the main veins/arteries flowing? If it's interior, my hunch is that it has to do with either a lack of some type of hormone that lets the stomach create the necessary enzymes to digest different types of food. I think it's alkaline based enzymes for plant materials and acidic for meats, so it might be that your stomach is having some difficulty producing these alkaline enzymes, hence indigestion and pain from starches(potatoes), fruits and vegetables . The other possibility is ulcer due to decrease in mucosae lining in the stomach that helps contain the hydrochloric acids. I hope my intuition helped. BTW your story reminded me of my mother's condition. I'm not allergic too anything so far, and I'm ok eating/drinking ginger/turmeric, but my mother happens to have an allergy to ginger/turmeric for whatever reason. Health is just as strange as reality.

@Bodhidharma I've discussed about pornography here in the past, so it's an old thread. I'll say it depends on your body, mind and astral body. For me, I've been on the Nofap journey as an experiment to see how it effects my health, energy, general mood and magic, and so far I've experienced some benefits on mood and health, but tremendous benefit on energy. In this situation, watching porn is both cheating and risky to do because of blue balls. However, as I'm me, I know my will power and limits, so I can get away with peeking. There are also exceptions to ejaculations, relapse or sexual transmutation, like if I want more charge in my magical operations at certain times and locations, or to celebrate a significant victory in life, or to create a family. You must have a clear purpose as to why you blew your load, otherwise you'd just feel disappointment and depression about relapsing. Of course it depends on the relationship with you girlfriend, is this your soul mate? Is she wife material? Does she want long term? Or short term? Is she your first gf, tenth gf, hundredth gf? Does she want to have kids? You got to communicate well with her. Of course it's natural to have sexual desire! You are a child of both Venus, goddess of love, and mars, god of war! Sexual desire is what creates forms on this planet, including you. Work on the masculine before the feminine aspects of you, and don't complain about your sexuality! Embrace it like a spear, you're body's nature is masculine, hence dick. I don't mean to offend if your identify with other gender roles/sexual orientations, but if your biological sex is male, it's very likely your astral body is also more male than female energy, so you must work with the energy that is below on the physical realm, to effect the above astral realm and beyond, hence 'As above, so below.". Maybe do isometric/calisthenics workout, martial arts, yoga, sexual transmutation on creative hobbies you like. General tips with your gf relationship; work on your communication, maybe do emotional work, and spice up your sex life. If you get into those fights with gf again, aikido the energy and tease her up, be playful, say the porn was a warm-up and you're the main course. You can come up with somethin creative to make the relationship exciting. Best of luck!

The only way Trump wins is when the opposition blunders. That simple.

Remember, a real man embodies the force of the pillar, and imposes his will into penetrating reality, literally or metaphorically. This is the essence of a life purpose. Mike Tyson is one among the handful of masterful boxers in the ring. Despite his bipolar disorder, he trained tirelessly while remaining celibate for five years, and transmuted that sexual energy into his boxing career. In my view, he's among the greats of boxing for sure. Also in my view, boxing has it's place and time but calling it low consciousness or high consciousness is disingenuous. That spectrum only refers to consciousness, not the contents. Remember that evil human beings can be enlightened and high consciousness too. Also, shaolin monks are high consciousness fighters too.

@Iksander Not so fast. Are you arguing about morality, or ethics? Without morality, you'd be as close to psychopathic as you can be, without a moral compass signaling what feels right or wrong, it's that easy to do a lot of damage without any awareness of it. Here, morality is like intuition. As bad as humanity has and still is, a moral compass keeps humanity at bay. Ethics is what you seem to be on about, so it's very simple: You can speak about your discipline, but not the discipline of most people. In fact, it's also thanks to ethics, aka 'social contracts, that you've survived this far. Like morality, without ethics, some people will come after you and do you harm without any fear of breaking any enforced rules.

@roopepa In the astral, or in your dreams?

Any other information on his death? What did he die from? RIP though, his value will be missed.

If thinking the past is imaginary is helping your ego, then ok. Mind you, that's a big if. Most of who you are on the surface is connected to previous events in your life, which shapes your core identity. Reckless deconstruction of this can lead to psychosis that can range from mild forms like annoyance, anger, confusion, depression, all the way to suicidal thinking and full mental breakdown.

What? 100% responsibility and control sounds like the same to me. I don't see any contradiction here. I think the issue is not taking full responsibility and not exercising self control, so go and do that.

Finally! Even if it's too early, at least this is a sign of hope.

@IJB063 What kind of libertarian are you?

@Mango Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

@Forrest Adkins Me too. Not just from online dating, but while doing cold approaches. Getting rejected face-to-face is a real Ouchy, so go with the cold approaches more if you can. Not only is my ugliness a handicap, but my past female trauma made it very challenging to sustain a date. It's one thing to have approach anxiety, but another to restrain my hate, like a balancing rope. As a man, you must face that hopelessness head on, with each woman you meet. I don't even go for one night stands, I torture myself by just talking to them, and friend zoning them.

@RoerAmit For me, I've remembered that at some moments when I felt hatred, and fewer moments of strong hatred, my body tenses up. I've found that chi gong and body awareness exercises helps develop your body awareness, which can help some more with self love.

It could have spiritual benefits, but in terms of exploring your demonic vibrations from within. Consuming alcohol literal is turning you into a demon, so if you want work in that direction, alcohol and similar drugs could help with that. I rarely consume alcohol, because I'm done working that way, it became too painful.

@Kross I've been there, and failed a lot of the final exams. Starting from middle school, high school, and college. For me, I had to process the stress and the angst each failure I got. I'd suggest to allow yourself to dream, to train yourself in a hobby you like, and travel if you can. This advice works well for me, and it might work for you. More life experience, more power. Please tells us more about your situation though, so we can help you much more.

Addressing the consistency, first, make the intention to do the visualization work daily, and pick a time, either morning or before bed. Intentionally set that schedule for yourself. If you can, in a quiet place by yourself. Your next problem is not enough information from your experiences with visualization to review. When were the times you experienced more powerful visualizations and where were you? When were the worst times you've had visualizing, and where? Each visualization can last for 5-10+ minutes, Leo has covered how to visualize, and I have a journal on this website that is about visualization work. About stabilizing your mind, do concentration exercises and meditation after. Leo has covered how to concentrate and meditate, so check them out. And sorry to say, your mind is a monkey, it can and will play along or throw tantrums, and you must discipline it with focus. I'll emphasize training your concentration and gradually increase by 1 min only if I can sustain focus more than a minute. If it starts acting up, disciplines it, and re-focus. Every time. In fact, do 1 minute of concentration before you do visualization work. The above advice is general. If you want more specific advice, please reply clearly explain your problem, as specific as you can. We can only help as much as you are willing to help. Show us your Yu-Gi-Oh deck fully, and we'll help you design the best killer deck ever.

I've seen some posts about Nofap and sexual transmutation in the sub-forum. Maybe a video about the spiritual implications of sexuality would be great.

@Matt8800 What are your thoughts on channeling, especially through automatic writing/drawing? Do you have to allow some permission of the entity partially possessing your hand, like a glove? Any newbie advice on channeling?

You do know what I mean? I know that some things are very difficult to explain in wording them. For example, I can describe to you a butterfly, another is that I could show you the butterfly. This thing I experienced, I can't tell or show to you at all that is remotely in any normal experience on earth, and I'm struggling to make sense of it myself. I recognized a pattern in that experience that resembles a Samadhi and what I've heard about it so far related to a little bit of that experience, but a lot of it was alien plus a 'merging' happening. Maybe I started off too difficult. Have you ever down any concentration exercises on mental objects? This was prior to this internal Samadhi.

I've recently experienced merging into a being. It happened during a mediation session. I've noticed my mind sometimes wanders and likes to visit a place where spiritual objects reside in. In one of the rooms, I sometimes do concentrate on some of those objects. Anyone here ever experienced this? I mostly hear that Samadhi happens from the outside.

@Espaim Exactly. In the meantime, I've found meditation, intermittent fasting, and semen retention can reduce and severely diminish brain fog, at least long enough that exploring the exact causes are possible without mental fatigue.

@VeganAwake Did this happen to you?
