Can we all just appreciate that he's coming back to boxing, instead of judging him for it?

Aye.

@freeman194673 Nofap is an addiction recovery program, like addiction programs that are designed around obesity, alcohol, gambling, hard drugs, hoarding e.c.t. just that it's fairly recent. Designed for who? Porn is a medium for procreation, as important as drinking and eating. When you've eaten and drank, you feel full and hydrated. Same as porn, you feel a sexual release.

It depends on if you yourself have had 5-Meo-DMT or some other psychedelic, to answer this question yourself. Depending on your subconscious mind, brain chemistry, upbringing, culture, neuro-musculature development (training, skill application, habitual behavior...), and many other factors, means that taking the most powerful psychedelic to date or another psychedelic may or may not result in an immediate change in behavior or in purpose. Also, I don't know enough to say what his potential is or his potential life purpose later in life would be, but I know enough to say he has a mental disorder known as bipolar disorder, if I'm not mistaken, and I've seen him enough to say he's skillful in boxing. These factors may have influenced his decision to take up boxing, and not take on a similar or different career or field to master.

@Arcangelo That's a safe assumption to make, but it's just an assumption. Honestly, people are complex, and We're only communicating with text boxes. I don't know if he's just trolling or is projecting onto me or he/she feels ok to interact with me. People can behave differently when they're close to death, so keep that in mind. Crysty and I don't mind, well mostly her, because I'm taking most of the brunt lol! So thanks anyways.

@Arzack I'm not a psychic or a medium, and despite my experiences with her I don't know what she really is, and when it comes to predictions she can hit or miss, so we both recommend you take action on your health right away and see a professional psychic if you're still interested. Good luck!

@Cocolove You're welcome.

Loa is just as effective as the one applying the principle, so if you really believe it's bullshit, actually it's on you not applying it well.

You also can laugh to death and find it too. If not, it's still a good laugh.

@AtheisticNonduality Because he's a fool to think he can explain a heated topic without any backlash whatsoever.

I've done some 90+ days of abstaining from P.O.M and can say there're some big increases with energy, confidence, and focus. However, the main problem is that it is relative. I'm not a heavy addict, I sometimes do 1-2 times a day or 3-4 days or a week. For me, after a session, I felt drained and near death, so abstaining was beneficial. I can't then go and say to some other boy/man/elderly dude "Hey, stop fapping to porn! It's evil!" because I don't know their physiology, how they feel/think during or after a session, what state of health they're at like neurology/immune system/endocrine system, the psyche they have and so on. Some men are gifted with a high sex rate/sex drive that you would be amazed that they could still go on, some men still have sexual karma to burn through, some men make a living off of sex and porn, and some men are so deep in porn addiction and sex addiction that specialist care and professional help is needed more than what Nofap could offer. It's very relative to the person. The only mistake I see with Nofap community is they're going the moralization route with porn, 'us vs them' mentality, and advocating prohibition and fostering individuals to demonize against porn and using certain fetishes and kinks as easy props for leverage against porn, and a whole host of manipulation tactics that slip under the radar. For example, illegalizing and prohibiting alcohol created a boon for the illegal sales of alcohol.

@traveler Correction: You fainted, look after yourself.

@traveler No, you just fainted from from breathing too much. Look after yourself.

I've been thinking about this for a while that kept me sometimes awake at nights, that if existence is everything it also includes obviously all things like life, death, forms, tangible things, non-tangible things, and so on until I hit at non-existence. I've previously passed off non-existence as like death, so their similar, until I realized that death is included in existence, and my thoughts on it are in existence, including thoughts about non-existence. If non-existence was a thing existing separate from existence, it would seem far more dangerous and problematic than death. By definition, if existence is everything, non-existence is non-everything, including not death, not life, non-forms, non-thoughts, and so on. Like if existence came up with something beautiful like a flower, then equally non-existence would cancel it out with an equal measure of creation as existence. Let me know what you thing.

I'm confused. Can someone tell me what a dogma is? Sounds like a bad dog...

You really don't have dream recollection? I used to not remember my dreams at all years back until I kept practicing meditation, changing my diet a bit and I'm able to remember some and a few very vividly.

@traveler Ok.

To clarify, I suck at logic and am gifted with some intuition. I sometimes just follow the 'feeling' and wow, such insightful thoughts shared here. And I've slept better at night, so thanks!

It looks like he left.

Ok, but I see no disagreement here because of non-existence as a concept does exist within EXISTENCE, as a thought. I'm talking about actual non-existence. Ok, God nullified it and we're just gazing at a dud and all we'll do at best is use parts of existence to understand parts of existence like concepts to try and understand something that will never be the genuine non-existence, right? Because the real thing is way too dangerous not just for me, but for everyone and every part of creation, so we're left with concepts of it.

@Meta-Man Ok, but not the same as non-existence. Nothing and everything is within existence, yet nothing isn't like non-existence, because nothingness is within existence because you can experience it, in non-existence both the notion and actual nothingness would be canceled out, non-nothingness. As unbelievable as that sounds, it is possible that emptiness could be canceled out of existence by non-existence if it were not for the infinite intelligence of God and infinity making it powerless. Otherwise, you couldn't be able to have enlightenment occur or even think about enlightenment, because actual non-existence erases it at every level of existence possible or impossible, which means no spirituality possible at all. Imagine that! Spirituality wiped out from existence and memory. Yet here we are now, fortunate to think and do spirituality and experience life, no matter how our minds are, we still have a decent chance at them.

@Someone here I meant that we could have thoughts and concepts within existence. Maybe I thought you meant concepts can't occur in existence. If that's what you meant, you're right, if in terms of physical objects and location as a basis for existing, but thought, despite being intangible and false compared to physical stuff, is still existing within existence. Same with non-existence, as a thought. The real pickle here is non-existence. If you're willing to say that existence is synonymous with everything, God and infinity, then you must also consider that non-existence is also synonymous with non-everything, non-god, and non-infinity. As a consequence, this means that if we had actual existing non-existence, that thing would be canceling every bit of creation, almost every step of the way. That would be far more damaging than death because with death there's always leeway for new forms to emerge from in life. That's not happening with non-existence, see? Yet somehow, we can safely think about non-existence. Why's that? Well, if God is infinity and has infinite intelligence, then god had plenty of time to struggle through every step it took to make sure this wouldn't be a problem in all creation, making it a dud in the minds of living creatures. Let's have a thought experiment. A simplified version of Zeus's mythology. There's once Uranus and Gaia, only two in all of existence. Uranus, the masculine aspect of existence, keeps making love with Gaia, the feminine aspect of existence. However, because there's nothing outside of Uranus to replenish his energy, he must eat almost every child Gaia gives birth to. Understandably fed up, Gaia at some point decides to deceive him and swap out her real baby for an imaginary one, saving Zeus. Hidden away by Gaia, and through time he grew stronger to eventually overthrow Uranus and become the new ruler and father to all other gods and goddesses after Zeus. However, Zeus, seeing his wife, pregnant with his child, realizes that he himself would suffer the same fate as his father Uranus, fully eats his wife and unborn child, achieving immortality. Now, Uranus and Gaia here would be an example of a prior existence, that somehow gave birth to actual non-existence, here as Zeus. Non-existence, because of it's canceling effect, nullifies the prior existences to the point it was only non-existence, which is so radically destructive it cancels itself out and some became EXISTENCE as an absolute and realizes through infinity that if this thing ever crops up again, it would do what it once did so long ago, and through whatever infinite intelligence and power, it made non-existence a dud, such a dud that you can think about it. That's my take, yours might differ. I hope I made some sense here.

@Bulgarianspirit You are saying that, with the benefit of God, somehow through infinite intelligence, made non-existence once a dangerous atomic bomb, now a dud.

@Meta-Man Unity, life, death, real, unreal, existence, non-existence, distinctions, non-duality, awakening, collapse, and enlightenment are within EXISTENCE. Even as abstract concepts in the mind, that too occurs in existence, along with tangible things as well. Yet, ever wondered why, whenever we entertain the thought of non-existence, that non-existence doesn't just obliterate you, people around you, the world in a blink? To me, non-existence is much worse than death, because death is occurring within EXISTENCE, which is synonymous to everything, infinity, and God. Despite the various relative and degrees of death and dying, non-existence is much worse, because if you have existence as same as everything, unity, and god, what does that mean for non-existence? @Someone here Yet, you can have thoughts about abstract concepts, imaginary numbers, and experience tangible things within EXISTENCE, without getting obliterated to smithereens by non-existence.
