strika

Well i thought about it before the first time i ever did it myself (around this time 3 years ago, september 2020), and then within a month disproved the possibility of it being placebo by literally doing it. I understand where you are coming from with this placebo perspective, this is a really popular one that people usually use because they just can't believe that something like saving your sexual energy could be so benefiting for ones life, it sounds ridiculous when someone who practices it start naming the benefits, it sounds like trolling to some point, it seems unserious, this thinking and lack of openmindedness exists because basically society promotes the idea that it's not only normal but also healthy to release you sexual energy other than when procreating, now i will start by saying that Brahmacharya/semen retention is absolutely 100% not placebo, now how can i go about proving this claim? Of course there is the one method that's known on this channel and forum and that is "test it out and see it for yourself, don't believe me until you try it yourself and see if it's true", i do think that it's the best approach but it's fine if one doesn't want to give it a try and still wants more info about it. Another thing i can do is give 3 known names of people who did Brahmacharya their whole lives, Jesus, Buddha, Tesla. These names are known so there is a sense of authority there and it's not just some random guy on a forum promoting this idea but also some of the most known people in history, of course there are more names but i think these 3 are more than enough for now. Also another thing is the physical benefits which can literally be seen with one's own eyes, for example obvious muscle growth all over the body without training, shiny and clear eyes, shiny and clear skin, thicker hair, i don't think my mind is capable of doing this, surely this can't be placebo? Especially if i had tested it multiple times and every single time around 3rd to 4th week these physical benefits i named would always appear and always disappear after a release of the sexual energy. I mean if this is placebo then what in life isn't placebo? What isn't mind capable of if it can give me all those physical benefits even tho i never cared about them, i always did this practice for the spiritual benefits which of course one can only prove for themselves, that i can't do for others. Also ever since the end of 2021 when i seriously started practicing Brahmacharya i haven't gotten sick once, that's about to be 2 years without a single cold even, nothing at all and i haven't changed anything else in my lifestlye other than adding Brahmacharya, i used to get sick every 2-3 months and now nothing at all, i mean can this really still be placebo? Is placebo this insane that it keeps me away from any physical pain for 2 years straight and for who knows how long, possibly rest of my life? Another thing i can do is give videos, documentaries and other sources about this topic which i already did in my first post in this thread (i only gave away a channel focused on this topic called "Beyond The Alchemy" (his videos are really easy to watch, the guy keeps it real, simple and understandable) but i can additionally give out videos if anyone is interested) There isn't much that i can do to prove you or anyone otherwise, it all goes back to the first point, be openminded and give it a try despite this practice of saving your sexual energy being demonized on this forum and especially in our society today.

I know it sounds incredible but semen retention is basically one of those things that universally work for basically every single person, i am aware that most things aren't like this but semen retention is one of the rare ones that's universal and this is something you can't know until you do it yourself, it's perfectly understandable if you are skeptical of it but if i came here and said "try semen retention, it may work for you" i would be massively undervaluing it and basically lying and i don't want to lie, i want to present SR as a universal and powerful "tool" (i would rather call it a way of life) that it is despite knowing that as of 2023 things like semen retention/Brahmacharya aren't appreciated on this forum for being the greatest actualization tool that they objectively are (i know that me saying "objectively" will piss you and some people off but i don't care, i won't lie just to look more nicer and passive, this is the best tool, this is an universal tool, for 99% of humanity Brahmacharya would be the greatest thing they have added to their life by far and all of this will sound stupid and delusional until you try Brahmacharya/semen retention yourself, it is what it is.)

3-4 months will probably be enough to fix this problem but i can't guarantee, his problem may really be much deeper than it seems and he may be an anomaly in that sense, but i said 2 years because with that it's a guarantee, that's more than enough time for this problem of his to be fixed and even if he is an anomaly it would still work after 2 years in comparison to 3-4 months, for me personally 3 weeks is enough for my vibration to raise and my emotional stability to get on point and all the other benefits, for some it may take a few months, and for some a year, but there is not a single person on this planet that would go on 2 years of semen retention and not have basically all their internal problems fixed, absolutely no way which is why i put it as minimum time in a situation where i would have to pay 3000$ in case it wouldn't work, i would have a guarantee that way that it will work for him but 3-4 months will still probably be enough because it's fair to assume that this guy isn't one of the biggest anomalies in mankind history, it would be really unlucky from my side if he was and i was wrong about that 3-4 months part.

If he was to go on a at least 2 year streak (730 days) i would be willing to pay him 3000$ if that wouldn't fix his problem, not only this problem, but also other life problems that he got that got nothing to do with this topic, that's how sure i am that adding semen retention/brahmacharya to ones lifestyle is the universal fixer of most life problems at physical, mental and spiritual level.

Emotional instability is the main reason why i recommended him semen retention as a tool to fix it, when you were on semen retention did it not help you with emotional instability? (unless you were already stable, in which case it would just massively improve it) It helped me and every single person that i have ever heard talk about their SR experience, there is honestly nothing better or even comparable for fixing emotional instability than SR, all the other things are usually temporary fixes, SR fixes it forever as long as you don't go back to PMO, SR gives you a real, authentic emotional stability, this is something a professional can't get you, you have to go within, not look for outside tools. Also why did you stop doing SR and when you did what was the longest streak? I'm not asking cause i care about the streak or counting days, i don't recommend that way of going about doing it, but i'm asking to try and understand how SR didn't help you with those problems, because usually it can take longer for some fixes than others, this is a long journey of healing if one really takes it seriously, usually a couple of years would be enough for one to be as healthy as possible in physical, mental and spiritual aspects, probably 6-9 years.

I mean it is basically a solution for everyone but i don't think it will fix everything, but it will definitely fix the problems he has when it comes to this topic, that i can confirm for sure. Why do you think that it can't help him exactly like i described it would, what exactly am i wrong about in my first post to him, i would assume you would know because you disagreed that it would help him and instead said professional help is the better option and i said why it isn't.

What pent-up sexual energy? This forum collectively has a limiting belief that if one doesn't waste their sexual energy that they will explode or something. Why are you instantly so dismissive of an advice? Feel free to also give him an advice if you want to but dismissing others' is pointless. Are you open to the possibility that it could work for him?

Semen retention will make the biggest difference for him, it naturally fixes all these problems that he has, it's a much bigger help then what "professional help" would do for him, professional help isn't serious, it only focuses on the mental side of things while semen retention naturally fixes your physical, mental and spiritual problems all in one, the only problem is it sounds unbelieveable and it's hard so he may not be open that this would help him, just like you aren't, comparing semen retention to pick up is absolute insanity, those are literally 2 opposites, obviously he shouldn't do pick up in a state like this, but semen retention would be the best possible thing he could do now.

You need semen retention, that would help you with this problem, your authentic niceness would come out after a few months and that niceness would attract a woman that's attracted to it, the point is going on semen retention for like 3-4 months would raise your vibration and when you raise your vibration with a tool like semen retention (the most powerful tool for raising ones vibration) you can't really be bad in any way, and you will attract a high vibrational woman and a high vibrational woman can't like a man that's low vibrational (treats her like shit, screams at her etc.), so she would naturally look for a nice guy (there is a difference between a low vibrational nice guy and a high vibrational nice guy, one is fake even if it may seem authentic to the guy himself, the other is 100% naturally authentic, basically God is shining through him, he is aligned with God, with his destiny, with selflessness) The reason why i'm specifically recommending semen retention is because this is objectively by far the biggest vibration increaser for a man, all of this is coming from my personal experience, also for more knowledge on this topic you can checkout a channel called "Beyond The Alchemy", the guy talks about semen retention and it's effects on you and others around you and women, he explains stuff really well, easy to understand and most importantly authentic.

I can vouch for the same thing, never got blue balls or any kind of physical discomfort on Brahmacharya. I think that people who talk about how you will get blue balls either never actually tried Brahmacharya/semen retention or if they have they did it while edging at the same time (sexual fantasizing, looking at Instagram/TikTok to get some dopamine hits from pics and videos, checking out women in public, flirting, etc.)

Of course, i absolutely agree with this

I don't think this is a balanced approach, it doesn't include the relative enough, both absolute and relative should be balanced in ones life in my opinion, focusing too much on this letting go approach isn't the best, letting God/universe do it's thing while at the same time letting your human self also make "decisions" and have "intentions" (which both are already predetermined by the absolute of course so you are not actually doing anything) is the best way to go about this, i personally have the approach of as a human wanting to not waste my sexual energy while at the same time being aware that what God wants is what is going to happen, God knows best and God already has my destiny set in stone and as of now a part of that destiny is for me the human to still rate the human approach equally to that of God and i don't think it will change, i think this is the wisest way to go about life in general, balance both absolute and relative. Try and let go at the same time.

I wouldn't say that porn is the symptom, it's definitely the problem itself, it's impossible to have self-love and watch porn in any way whatsoever, doesn't matter if it comes from the point of view of art or addiction it will take some of your energy nevertheless which is the reason why a person would be watching it in the first place, it's because it's going to give them some type of pleasant feeling in exchange for some of their sexual energy, doesn't have to be an orgasm, just a nice feeling is enough. Our natural state is pure, innocent bliss, it's the state one is born in, when we are younger it's the state every single person was in (bar anomalies that were really extremely abused or had some hard disease from the start) And throughout our youth and teens this bliss really gradually gets lost through bad habits, bad habits are things that give pleasure (of any degree, it can be subtle pleasure (like watching a cartoon for the sake of entertainment) or it can be extreme (orgasm) ) in exchange for that blissful energy and sexual energy is the by far the biggest source of energy which is why society is and has always been so sexually oriented, more oriented towards it than any other pleasure in the world (procreation argument aka "it's natural to want to have sex because of procreation" is bad argument because 99% of time when people have sex it's for the sake of pleasure not procreation which is basically people overusing their instinct to cope with life, if people only had sex to create children that would be a good argument of course) And because of this something like porn is the problem, it shouldn't be accepted in any way whatsoever, it shouldn't be demonized either but one should always have the intention to remove porn out of their life because it's another parasite that drains ones energy no matter from which perspective they go about watching it, doesn't matter if they are lustful or artful, their blissful energy will be taken as a consequence which means their self-love which is a natural state of being of every being will weaken, and slightly little by little lead toward self-hate if a person accepts a parasite like that for a long time, same goes for every other pleasure there is that drains energy, even if it's just little amount, it still shouldn't be accepted, assuming that one wants so self-actualize and be self-loving. We have to be practical about things like these and eliminate the things that are parasites of our natural self-love and not just accept anything in our relative lives because the absolute has that perspective, and counter-intuitively by not accepting those parasites in our lives (aka by not being loving towards them) we will experience much more self-love than if we kept those things in our life and tried loving them, porn is a problem no matter if we give it power or not and one should have the intention of removing it out of their life, end of story.

True, but one should also do this with the overall sexual desire (sex, fantasizing, scrolling Instagram/TikTok for a dopamine hit, checking out people in public,etc.), basically all the more subtle ways sexual energy can be released

I used the word nasty because the guy i was responding to did, i don't call masturbation nasty and honestly it is nasty in comparison to pure celibacy, which i'm not saying out of hate towards masturbation or something, it's just really weird behaviour when you look back at it after a few months of Brahmacharya

That's also a good approach but i think one should do this consciously, while doing the nasty observe yourself doing it, observe before doing it and after, basically try to notice the contrast, the subtle changes you feel after you do the nasty and at some point you won't want to do it anymore. But don't fall into the trap of blindly going with this approach and then unconsciously having sex and masturbating for the rest of your life, many people go about life like this and then have a wasted life dependent on thousands meaningless and wasteful orgasms. But i still think the best approach is to instantly see the value of Brahmacharya based on what you learn about it from others and your personal experience of it and have the intention of going for it, giving your best to get on it and remove sexual energy release out of your life and if you fail at times which will probably happen in the beginning forgive yourself and continue trying, most importantly always have the wise intention in mind, even if you fail to follow up.

I absolutely agree, people are missing out on the biggest booster of self-actualization there is, i think the problem is because usually people present these ideas from the NoFap perspective so they are taken less seriously because of the name of the movement and the reputation of it, also it sounds like it's a supression of one's sexuality (which in a way it is on some NoFap forums and posts, but that's because they are not really doing it for actualization but to stop addiction, the approach is not wise) But semen retention and most importantly Brahmacharya are much more serious, they are not about supression but transcending the 2nd biggest instinct that a human has for the sake of gaining heaven in their daily life, it may sound crazy or unhealthy or impossible but it really isn't once one manages to get a few months of clean Brahmacharya and sees the enormous value it brings to ones life, i will say it once again, from my experience there is nothing, no other practice, no other tool that even compares to the absolute and relative value Brahmacharya brings into ones life, it's the foundation of a self-actualization, of making a life worth living, without it life feels dead and no amount of meditation and psychedelic experiences will make it alive like Brahmacharya would, once Brahmacharya is set in stone, meditation and psychedelics can take place, i have the contrast of the Brahmacharya-less life and one with Brahmacharya and those 2 things are 2 different lives, it's literally hell vs heaven, no matter how much one tries to decorate that hell with spirituality, it won't be close to the actual heaven

It's for both men and women equally, the benefits start coming in a few days (4,5 days from my experience) but at the start they will of course be very subtle but will with time gradually increase in both number of benefits one starts getting and their quality. I would say it's absolutely necessary to practice Brahmacharya if someone is trying to self-actualize and work on their spirituality, i wouldn't only say that it's necessary but that it's by far the most important part of spiritual work and actualization. It's the foundation of living a good life both from the absolute (spirituality, God-realization) and relative (practical life, survival, purpose etc.) perspective, the reason why i'm saying this is because of my personal experience with it, i have a distinction in my life before and after i started practicing Brahmacharya and the contrast is too big for me to just say that one can practice spirituality and do actualization work without perseverance of their sexual energy, i think it's not worth it without it because even tho one will still get results it will take them so much longer and they will have to work so much harder than what they would have to work if they had Brahmacharya as their foundation for the work. After a few months of Brahmacharya this work becomes so effortless that it's almost like you are on an autopilot and God is doing everything through you, you are absolutely aligned with God and following your destiny to the fullest with no effort, and all of this is happening in your day to day baseline state, you're basically meditating at all times in a way, but it takes time to get to that point (even i myself would consider myself a beginner at this, i found out about Brahmacharya in 2020 and really got serious about it around the beginning of 2022, until then i just did it on and off kinda because i still didn't realize the value of it until last year), and even tho one can get to a similar state that i just described without saving their sexual energy it's not going to be comparable to the one with saved sexual energy, the difference in quality of bliss and peace and all the other spiritual stuff is enormous. I will try to be more specific now to actually name and describe the benefits of Brahmacharya: bliss (i usually notice it around day 4, it feels like an internal aura of energy inside your chest that gradually expands from the inside and even starts expanding to the outside of your body, but takes time, probably 3-4 months for it to fill your entire body and then it feels like it's going outside it as well, it feels like you are radiating with bliss, which is why other people subconsciously notice it as well and it's basically metaphysical (people start staring at you like deers in headlights, both men and women, babies and animals especially, it can be creepy at times but sometimes it's wholesome, you get used to it with time, and it's something that doesn't happen without Brahmacharya, i have tested it like 10+ times and it's always the same result, when i practice it it happens daily in any public place, when i don't it doesn't happen, it's not placebo which some people who haven't tried Brahmacharya blame it on which i always find hilarious but understandable, i know it sounds crazy) People usually don't take this point seriously because it's woo-woo but it's one of those things that when you see it for yourself you know it, also it's the best "sensation"(idk what else to call it, maybe state of being?) that i have felt in my life, obviously it's better than any pleasure that i have ever felt, it's better than anything that the 5 senses can provide), next up is peace which comes in the package with bliss basically, with time it gradually gets better and expands in ones body and outside as well, another one in the same package is energy, same coin as bliss and peace just another side, it gradually expands and intensifies with time, now i sleep like 4 hours a day naturally because of how much energy i have, i assume i will get to 2-3 hours of sleep as the years go by, of course naturally, without trying, it's not the case that i'm inentionally ruining my sleep, it just becomes natural because of the energy one saves with time, also that energy obviously helps with practical life as well, working out, running, house work, job or life purpose, it's a massive boost of energy basically Next up is health, i haven't gotten sick since 2021 in whatever way whatsoever(i used to get sick every few months), i used to have some pain in my knee for 2 years and it's gone, i used to have problems with my digestive system for a year, whenever i would eat i would have a stomach ache (and i eat pretty healthy) and that problem is gone, skin becomes absolutely clean and shiny and i never did any skincare and never cared about it, eyes also become obviously shiny and veins in the eyes are gone, also dark circles as well are gone, hair is thicker and more of it grows on the entire body (this is of course exclusively a male benefit, i'm sure there would be a parallel type benefit for women), much deeper voice (also male exclusive) Overall luck in life is another metaphysical benefit, you get so much more luckier when it comes to anything, synchronicities are another one that are in a way connected to the previous benefit, i usually see 50+ of them daily in numbers alone, of course they can come in other ways to (of course this isn't a literal benefit but it's a sign that you are doing something right because the increase in synchronicities becomes too big to ignore, God/universe is telling you you are aligning yourself with your highest self, that you are following your highest potential, your destiny) The meditation is obviously easy, it comes natural, as i said you basically meditate all the time, you feel like when you are a child and you are just wondering around pure and inoccent without a worry in the world, just in the moment enjoying the beauty of the present, also everything literally becomes so much more colorful, again just like when you were a child, the colors are much more intensified but in an elegant, pleasant way, you feel high on life 24/7, daily life aka baseline feels like a constant light psychedelic experience. This is already a long comment so i will stop there but to nutshell it, Brahmacharya gives your baseline state bliss, peace, energy, luck, beauty, joy, physical benefits both inside and outside of your body, mental benefits like absolute clarity of mind and flow, better memory, spiritual benefits like a constant state of psychedelic, pure, childlike meditation, makes self-actualization and spiritual work easy and effortless, takes care of your absolute and relative life naturally, balances both out and boosts it's qualities, and just makes life worth living, it gives aliveness to life. Also i would recommend these videos and articles to anyone interested as a start to the understanding of this whole practice which boils down to transcending your sexual instinct to gain heaven in your day to day life, these are quality videos, be openminded which is what this whole forum and channel is about and of course test it our for yourself if you want to see if there is truth to it, as someone who lives by this i can't recommend anything else when it comes to the pursuit for self-actualization more than Brahmacharya, this is the foundation of it all. https://glorian.org/connect/blog/what-is-brahmacharya https://glorian.org/connect/blog/should-women-avoid-orga

Probably that she found value in this topic of preserving sexual energy that she didn't know about before, at least that's what i would hope so, this forum overall including Leo is missing out on this part of spirituality, catch on with Brahmacharya people, Jesus did it, Buddha did it, what stops you? This is the most important piece of the puzzle of self-actualization, don't ignore it, this work is honestly pointless without it, this work will still get you results of course, but it's nothing without Brahmacharya.

I massively recommend everyone to checkout these 4 videos when it comes to this topic, persevering sexual energy has been probably the best thing in my life not only for spiritual progress but even practical life, it boosts everything it can boost, it makes life so much more beautiful, you almost feel high in a way, you feel that childlike innocence again, life becomes so much more colorful literally and metaphorically, but it takes time, don't just give it a week or a month as a test to see if it's beneficial, i recommend at least 4-6 months of perserverance of sexual energy (no sex, masturbation, watching pornography, fantasizing) to see that it's the real deal, it's not about suppressing an instinct, it's about transcending it, which is possible, you won't be horny 24/7 or something, those phases will come and go which is normal but if you go through them you will be at absolute peace and bliss at some point and of course there are so many other benefits as well but i don't wanna be naming everything in this post, just checkout these 4 videos and also a channel called "Beyond The Alchemy" is amazing for this topic, i just wanted to share all this cause i usually see that perseverance of sexual energy is massively undervalued on this forum even tho i would say it's probably the most important piece of the puzzle when it comes to spirituality and overall actualization, can't think of anything that compares from my personal experience so far, give it a try.
