	hopefully in my next reincarnation I will become such an entity

	shadow people and disembodied voices during sleep paralysis when i was very young saw some ghost/spirit/entity with a blue tint, in the waking state. It looked like a little boy. I don't really purposefully pursue entity work, but sometimes you end up encountering the odd ghost here and there. Plus I think it's kind of creepy so i'll just let them do their own thing.

	yea but it had a bit of info wars propaganda sprinkled in

	You gotta test and isolate variables. If porn does something for you, then that tells you that there's something specifically about being in front of a real person that is the problem, and it is not necessarily some biological dysfunction or complete lack of libido. And also it might validate or invalidate your theory, if you can't even get turned on by porn anymore then it's most definitely not porn-induced, cause porn should at least turn you on. This is important info. If you're not horny enough after 8 days of abstinence, I personally would say that rules out porn as a culprit. Especially if you were horny enough to be masturbating so regularly prior to that. From my experience, the horniness caps at around day 8-10. Unless you are some serious porn addict, like masturbating 5 times daily over a long period of time, I doubt much of the problem is porn, and if it is, I'm pretty sure the 8 days would negate that. I understand that people can be very different in terms of sexuality though. This is just how I have noticed that this stuff affects me personally and what I would do. If you're scared of undoing your progress in abstaining from porn, fine, you can go for a month or something and then watch if it gets better or not. IME, I've gone that route before, and libido really does not change much beyond day 10, but maybe it will be different for you. Even if porn offsets progress, you can always go back to abstaining. So I wouldn't sweat it too much. That's not bad considering you were watching it as an experiment, which is not the most attractive scenario to watch porn in. Do you feel the 8 day abstinence has made some sort of difference?

	A lot of times people get nervous or feel like they're under lots of pressure to perform well during the sex, which turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Did you feel nervous around her? Were you able to be playful around her or were you mostly serious? Is your libido still dead even with porn? That seems out of the ordinary to me, that it really just vanished like that. It might even be that, you were nervous the first time, and now you are so fixated on that experience that every time you try to engage in a sexual experience you're just reminded of that experience and it makes you feel nervous and lose libido. Like I said, the psychological aspect is big. If possible, you can even edge yourself to porn before meeting her to get your head in the game. Maybe you weren't in the mood or weren't in the right headspace, this can help with that. If not, it might be some odd temporary phase. Give it a week or two and see how it gets better or worse. Our bodies are constantly trying to maintain balance, and reaching that balance might take a bit.

	I'm sure this is the cause then. Do you think something triggered it? Or did it sort of gradually become worse? Do you also have any lingering feelings of anxiety, or is it just a very neutral state of anhedonia? Are you able to be calm? What's your diet like, then? What do you usually eat? Do you eat a lot? Maybe not, since there's not much pleasure?
 - 
	Have you been especially depressed recently? Or especially stressed? Are you getting enough sleep? Any big changes in diet? A lot of libido really just comes down to your psychology and how you feel mentally. Have the 8 days of abstinence helped at all?
 - 
	You feel like your libido has died since doing 8 days of no fap? Is that correct? I've had the same thing happen after 30 days. They call it a "flatline" in the no-fap community, the frequency at which it happens is uncertain.

	These look like seizures. You can see this streamer having one, and looking back behind him in the same way (there is screaming and panic in the video so be warned):

Somewhat unrelated, but interesting synchronicity that Leo and Teal Swan's new video that day had the exact same type of thumbnail, planet Earth with an eye sticking out. - 
	I would rather this than normal TV. Maybe I was meant to be a cat.
 - 
	I get what you mean. The word "trust" implies a possibility for fault. There is no fault in perfection, therefore it is somewhat inaccurate to call it trust. There's no need for trust at that point, because you already know it to be true and perfect.

	Who leaked this segment from the mod agreement?

	Elon Musk did completely fix his balding through whatever transplant or surgery he did, maybe look into that Or you could rock the bald look.

It is capable of magic and non-magic. And the non-magic is created through magic, and the magic is created through what is considered non-magic. "If you showed a caveman our technology, he would think it was magic. And if you showed a modern man magic, he would think it was technology" "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" - 
	This is a relative non-metaphysical matter, even though it leans towards the "supernatural" end of the spectrum. It's like asking if alcohol affects the human body negatively. Awakening or high-consciousness states are not necessarily gonna give you insight into how alcohol functions in the body, similar to how it's not gonna tell you how black clothes are gonna affect you negatively. Awakening will, however, make you realize alcohol and black clothes are imaginary. Even psychic powers, although they are supernatural, are relative and aren't necessarily gonna give you insight on God or awakening. Sadghuru is probably speaking from some Hindu/Ayurvedic perspective here, as he tends to do. You can try testing it out for yourself to see how it affects you, that's about the best you can do. Otherwise, such things are very hard to verify because of their abstract and qualitative nature.
 - 
	I think a better way of going about it is asking "What is their intent behind telling me this? What are they gaining from it?" Just look for intent and what is motivating them in that moment. That will tell you their character very directly. That is definitely behavior to be cautious around though.
 - 
	"How you do one thing is how you do everything" might be a useful concept here. Generally speaking, pay attention to how they interact with the world around them. Do they do it in a genuine way? Are they very neurotic about certain things? Close-minded? How do they treat waiters at a restaurant? How do they treat their friends? Do they act differently around other people compared to how they act around you? Do they contradict themselves a lot? They will obviously do their best to look perfect in front of you, so pay attention to how they interact with things that aren't you.

	Spinach has a lot to offer. Avocado is not hard to fit in either, and it is very nutritious. Although it might technically be a fruit. Both of these fill a lot of the different vitamins you need, and they come with lots of electrolytes which will definitely make you feel sharper.

	I thought this was a nice holistic take on a somewhat controversial beverage, so I wanted to share. I found it on the community section of Sadghuru's Youtube channel.

	Your standards for what is "better" is very myopic. It's the same fault that comes with jealousy. You're focusing on a few desirable aspects of their life, like how much money they have, and then disregarding all the other aspects of their life. It's like looking at a criminal who just robbed a bank, and saying, "they live way better because they have so much money now". It's not so simple. There are psychological implications of doing something like that, and many other factors that come into play. People who live on corruption are constantly maintaining a house of cards which could fall at any second. For a more concise view of what I'm talking about, look at Kim Jong Un, and all the secrecy and bullshit he has to go through just to maintain his image. It's not gonna boomerang the way your ego is imagining it. God is not gonna send some giant guillotine down to chop Kim Jong Un's head off.
 - 
	"All truth is relative" <<< Is this a relative truth? To answer your question directly, not really. Practically speaking, what is truthful is just how accurately you can describe or perceive reality. If you believe in inaccurate perception, it will eventually collapse like a house of cards, because it's based on something that's not real. It's unsustainable.

	No one said that. He motivates people, but also brings with him many of his own flaws and ideologies which you can easily get sucked into if you're not careful, and a lot of people have gotten sucked into it, as he is so heavily idolized. Andrew Tate is like a black hole for repressed stage orange/red. Tread carefully. You have to carefully discern which aspects of him are really worth taking in for yourself. Yes, there is some level of genuine self-improvement, but what kind of mindsets and quirks are you adopting from him on the way there? Just because it's useful doesn't mean it's based on truth.

	Pomegranates are great, but not in my top 5. I did think about them while writing my list though. Maybe they can be an honorable mention. They're like sour candies, but fruit. You just brought out a memory from my subconscious, I remember seeing them at the store and thinking "wtf is this", but I never got to trying them. How do they taste compared to normal kiwi?
