You kill millions of living sperms every time you jerk off only for the experience and pleasure, you selfish devil.

Lol.

Evil/Selfishness goes infinitely deeper than that. It's just too silly to talk about, because even me talking about it is evil/selfish. Everything that humans do is a survival strategy, including/especially the very act of nitpicking, sugar-coating survival strategies, or denying them altogether. And when I say everything, I mean EVERY-FUCKING-THING, without an exception. Even "truth", "spirituality", "sympathy", "human rights", etc... are survival strategies. But of course, spiritual people won't like that and they will demonize and hate me for saying it. Spiritual people like to demonize others in order to claim the higher moral ground, when in fact there's no difference whatsoever between them and others. What's even more twisted is that they claim transcendence by inclusion, which in theory means that they don't demonize those who have different survival strategies. But in practice, oh well. All living beings care about their own survival first and foremost. Humans just go about doing that in the most twisted of ways. Life is ruthless & cut-throat. It's all just a big clash of survival agendas. Insects don't care about my survival. They will not let me sleep if they're hungry, and they won't think twice about it. For a mosquito, it's just the way it is. Martyrs don't exist. And survival for the fittest is the only rule.

This is good. I'm moving forward. I am less concerned with others now. Compulsive behaviors are residing. Slowly, but steadily, still. I don't feel the urge to correct people or help them in any way anymore. Almost 24 hours without any urges. We'll see how it will go. I don't give a fuck.

That's a thought that you can choose to change.

@tatsumaru It's not about scientific evidence to prove the effects of thoughts on reality. It's about you taking full responsibility for the quality of your life. I noticed you said "some power", but I want you to challenge that idea. The first self-help book I've ever read says: Watch your thoughts before they turn into actions. Watch your actions before they turn into patterns. Watch your patterns before they turn into habits. Watch your habits before they turn into identity. Your thoughts dictate who you are and your overall experience.

@Leo Gura I don't know if you're planning on doing the challenge, but I encourage you to take it. I think it'll help you get rid of the flora that is causing you intestinal problems. Starvation can be good for health. Intestinal flora should not be able to endure 30 days of fasting. At the very least, I think you'll experience some relief. Let alone the spiritual effects. Please consider in case you haven't yet. Maybe you'll like it and even make it a lifestyle. Mohammad used to fast on and off all the time.

Incredible music!

@Najim No problem.

I've been doing it eversince I was 10 years old. Sometimes it felt like I was going to die from the heat and dehydration near the end of the day. The only time I ever missed days was two years ago when I got a heatstroke and had to stay hydrated all the time until I recovered. That was 4-5 days. Extremely powerful practice for those interested.

She just can't stop with the clickbaits.

Alignment with truth has three layers as far as my experience goes: Realization: Increases by contemplation, open-mindedness, mystical experiences, etc... Awareness in the present moment/baseline levels of consciousness: Increases by meditation, minimalism, fasting, etc... Embodiment: Overall progress on the path.

This thread is directed towards Leo in specific, but it also includes all spiritual teachers. I was wondering recently about something that I find interesting. In Islamic history, there's this famous teacher/scholar called Imam Al-Shafiʽi. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Shafiʽi This guy used to teach a certain version of Islam back when he was in Iraq, but then when he travelled to Egypt and learned more about Islam, his views expanded and he experienced a change of heart. When he came back to Iraq, he said that the new teachings are the correct teachings, and that those who would still follow his old teachings will go to hell. The two versions are now known as the old school and the new school of Al-Shafiʽi. Now, consider for a moment that something like that happens with Leo or some other teacher. Let's say that at a certain point, Leo realizes something opposite to his prior teachings that it fundamentally dismantles the grounds of his older work. Like, for example, let's say that he realizes that the best way to live life is to never ask any questions whatsoever, and to become closed-minded and ideological. Maybe at some point he will change his mind about Spiral Dynamics and then no longer use it, but rather criticize it. Maybe he will become anti-drugs and start saying that psychedelics are a hindrance to humanity. If any of these examples sounds radical to you, think twice with a radically open-mind. It's not about the examples per se, it's about the possibility of a radical change of perspective, like a 180° shift. I'm talking about fundamental changes that may oppose current teachings. I'm talking about Leo becoming a Trump supporter. The interesting thing now is that the internet records everything we say. I'm failing to imagine how it would work out if something like that was to happen. I'm wondering if Leo has considered this before and if he has done anything to prepare himself for such a thing. After all, Leo has been an atheist for the better part of his life and believed he was right, like everyone else does. I don't see why it's unlikely that he will transcend spirituality to something else entirely, maybe something he currently considers degenerative of real growth and true spirituality. And you as an audience/follower, how would you take it? And how would you react? Have you ever thought about that? Do you think something like that could ever happen? Etc...

Literally, and everytime.

Nice cop-out.
