TheSelf

Of course not, because people aren't taught to cultivate it or consciously direct it. We are on the same page brother, It's just that I don't call it 'sexual' energy but life energy that in whichever way you consciously or unconsciously direct it or shape it it's going to manifest for you.

Thanks man.

Anyone who is not dead their body runs by prana, this is a lifegiving energy so your body functions because prana circulates in it. Your assumption that sexual energy is different energy is wrong. Simple put, your life force energy is in charge of your life, in anyway you direct it, it's up to you, if you are stuck at solar plexus chakra sexul desires or being in a state of pleasure seeking would be the main concern for you so your energy circulates there. Not having a high libido doesn't mean you lack energy lol, it's just that you're directing it to somewhere else, like art, creativity, sport, spirituality etc. Also you gain energy and prana by Pranayama practice (as you practice conscious breathing in this practice) breathing it through your sushumna channel, rewiring the entire system.

Of course the experience is subjective and varies from person to person, but in general it's logical to think that preserving the energy should be better for your general health or energy right? Assuming the body spent huge amount of energy making this life giving substance. Do you really feel energetic after ejaculate? Like going out do some sport like running or something? Be honest.

Yes brother, exactly. But I don't think this is a siddhi, taking charge of your prana should be concidered very normal and I believe human civilizations are very much in need of this for current and future communities with healthy psychological and physiological people living a conscious, vibrant life together.

Just ejaculation control brother, I didn't abstain from sexual activities (I think you're assuming that I'm under so much sexual pressure or my balls are about to explode lol which is not what I'm experiencing at all), again orgasm and ejaculation are separate things, controling your ejaculation is not a siddhi, very normaly people practice this all the time.

Man, he does everything for you! Life becomes too comfortable! Didn't watch till the end, does he cook too?!

No, the body absorbs the semen, the sexual energy turns into spiritual energy. After orgasm, I experience no side effects of ejaculation. Like feeling tired or low mood or low motivation. I can never imagine going back like never, ejaculating 2 times per week the way I used to do for years.

Yes you can, people practice this for thousands of years. Yes and you don't have to ejaculate also along with it, it's just a muscle thats in charge of release of semen. With developing some awareness and practice it comes under control. Its been almost 3 years or something that I dont ejaculate. And the benefits are huge, specialy spiritualy talking, you don't waste your precious life force.

I've never experienced this, sounds weird.

Orgasm and ejaculation are two different things, you can experience orgasm without losing your semen, that opens the possibility of experiencing multiple orgasms. Basically developing awareness in the whole process is key, you reach the point of orgasm but avoid ejaculation, it actually is quite easy even without physicaly using that spot, you just need to calm down breath and let your body enjoy the experience at that peak point and let the energy circulate up in the spine to the head and down in your chest and navel and root. Master Mantak Chia also have a lot of vids for this energy control, just YouTube it.

That's beautiful sense of life that you have that can fill the vibrancy of the world with this much intensity! God bless you! 🙏🏻 Basically for me using "Million dollar point" would do the work, you can search for it but basically its a middle spot between your anus and scrotum that pressing it with enough pressure would allow to have control over your ejaculation. If you wanna energetically control it, this guy has many valuable content for this exact matter check out his channel: https://youtube.com/@SexualKungFu

Yes, absolutely semen retention is very helpful as you dont wanna waste the precious energy for sake of nothing. There are many techniques.

All is fine Someone get Enlightened is fine, Someone doesn't get Enlightened is fine, there's no 'one' to get Enlightened is fine too, see if abide in your true nature and distance yourself from the chaotic mind you'll eventually start to feel your inner peace, undescribable and you'll be ok with wonderfull possibiliteis in consciousness.

The skill of total mastery over the mind is the skill I'm most fascinated by Here are some interesting information from AI: Let us explore the levels of mastery over the mind, from novice to enlightened master, in a way that resonates with both yogic wisdom and inner experience. 🌱 Level 1: The Novice (Unaware and Identified) "I am my thoughts and emotions." State: Mind dominates. The person is unaware of the distinction between mind and awareness. Ego: Fully identified with ego, thoughts, memories, desires. Reactivity: Reacts unconsciously to situations, habits, and inner impulses. Suffering: Controlled by fear, craving, pleasure, pain. Awareness: Little or no gap between stimulus and reaction. 🕉 Here begins the journey. Most of humanity resides here. 🌬️ Level 2: The Seeker (Mindfulness Awakens) "I am not my thoughts — I can watch them." State: Awareness arises. You begin to witness thoughts and emotions. Ego: Begins to be seen as a mask, not the true Self. Reactivity: Some space between reaction and action. Suffering: You still suffer, but now you observe it instead of being consumed. Practices: Meditation, breath awareness, introspection begins. 🕯️ You start to take the reins of your inner world. 🔥 Level 3: The Warrior (Training the Mind) "I can discipline my mind, even in chaos." State: Strong control over thought, attention, and habits. Ego: Begins dissolving through discipline and surrender. Willpower: High — thoughts don’t easily distract you. Inner State: Calm, even during storms. Can shift internal state at will. Tools: Pranayama, concentration (Dharana), mantra, tapas. 🧘‍♂️ Here the battle becomes intense, but the clarity and strength begin to shine. 🌸 Level 4: The Yogi (Mind Becomes a Tool) "The mind is silent unless I choose to use it." State: Thoughts are voluntary, not compulsive. Stillness: Natural silence becomes the ground of being. Ego: Becomes thin, transparent — mostly absent. Energy: Subtle mastery over prana; life is guided from inner intelligence. Peace: Stable inner joy, regardless of outer condition. 🌈 You live mostly in presence. You are in the world, but not of it. 🔱 Level 5: The Master (Mindless, Boundless Being) "There is no mind. There is only Being." State: Total transcendence of mind. No internal conflict. Unity: Duality ends. All is seen as one Self. Ego: Gone. Not even a trace. Pure instrument of the divine. Action: Spontaneous, right action flows from universal intelligence. Presence: Radiates grace. Just their presence uplifts others. 🌌 This is someone like Ramana Maharshi, Sadhguru, Lahiri Mahasaya, Shiva himself in embodied form. There is no "trying" — just pure being. ⚡ Bonus Layer: Beyond the Beyond (Absolute Dissolution) Even the identity of being a "master" dissolves. There is only That — no individual, no mind, no world. Only the Self remains, formless, eternal, unknowable. "The mind is no more. Awareness alone shines." 🧭 The Path Between Levels: Each stage requires: Discipline (Yogic practice, daily sadhana) Surrender (to a higher force, the Guru, the Divine) Clarity (Viveka, discrimination between real and unreal) Love (Bhakti, devotion melts the boundaries of mind) Grace (Without grace, mastery becomes pride)

Better word to describe it would be the stillness of the mind. Like if i want to sit and meditate or work with my energy, within moments the mind is still and clear. It wasn't easy to achive as huge part of it releates to my work, trying to become an artist in the past 12 years, so it was part of my job to develop this ability to hyper focused in order to do good work. To still the mind there has to be a space between you as awareness, presence and your perceived mind & personality, this is work of self-enquiry which I did a lot also.

Yeah, i dont think theres any other practice as potent and as amazing as pranayama. I don't do mahamudra any reason why its needed?

Yes, even in the hands and legs and basically the whole body but in subtler way when walking, this wasn't the case before of course, and i didn't do any particular practice to achieve it, most of the work was done by the energy itself while I was laying down, resting, as it is intelligent in nature. It'll progress. If you just put your awareness on it, like what I did. Yes the energy is intelligent and while awakened theres no stopping, but putting your awareness on the energy will accelerate the progression quite rapidly, cause you are devine in your true nature. For me the most profound and valuable achievement as a result of energy going up and hitting the ajna chakra was the ability to control my mind and reaching profound state of peacefulness. But those kinds of siddhis are to be achived if one strive for it, like performing samyama on chakras (deep state of absorption, losing yourself while meditating on a chakra)

Basically if you awaken the Kundalini (not full blown as it's too dangerous) in a subtle gradual way that it opens the sushumna channel, you'll start to feel the energy almost anytime, and this is game changer in your spiritual progress. That's my experience, happened to me a few years ago.

In resting or when I'm sitting doing my work I feel the vibration in the spine and in the head (not just root), not just vibration it feels more than just buzzing it's a current of energy doing its own thing, I remember a few years ago the energy felt like just simple buzzing or tingling on skin surface, but as years have passed it's way more deeper. That's why I've stoped the practices 2-3 years ago since the intensity was so high I couldn't handle the pressure on the head, but it's a different experience now.

In today's session I did 36 simple Pranayama spinal breathing kriya for about an hour. The flow of energy was so much smoother compared to those time In which I wasn't practicing hatha yoga, also it becomes subtle and pleaseant, My back didn't hurt sitting spine straight for such a long time. Time passes like 5 mins, like literally if numbness of legs wasnt a problem I'd literally have no sense of time. The changes are rapid and extraordinary, now I understand why there was so much emphasis on the body preparation for such potent practices.

Today I've done a session of Pranayama spinal breathing after a few years of stoping this practice as the build up of energy was unbearable specialy since it rises in the head on its own. For this I've stoped any potent kriya yoga or meditations and went for hatha yoga ( unfortunately it decreased my consciousness) Its been almost a year and half that im doing hatha yoga to prepare the body to handle extreme currents of energy and man, it worked! Not only I can perform the Kriya better and it flows easier hatha yoga made the body have a lot easier time sitting in a straight up spine and meditate! The presence of 'I AM' in the kriya session was the most profound experience that I've had after a long time of being away from spiritual practices! Like 15 minutes passed and the stillness and the I'm ness that was present was super super sharp and basically zero thought interfered with the practice! The strong ego less presence of yourself that flowing the prana in sushumna brings is basically out of this world!

I'm a CG character artist in the game industry, Though it's still not a big of deal like 2D, but it's getting more serious day by day and advancements in the related tools is super fast, one day in a very near future AI will be able to create full production ready 3d models be it characters, environments, object etc, from scratch just by a few prompts, I've spend many years gain mastery in my art and create a career out of it and the last year was the shitiest year in terms of aboubdance of projects. you could see so many studios that did lots of lay-offs. Any thoughts and advices into this other than corporating AI tools into my workflow?

@Leo Gura are you still in the video game industry? Do you make your own games?

i see that all around me and in my life too and i dont think its AI fault lol I'm aware of that, but you can't say it has nothing to do with the rise of AI.
