I've been using this self-massage for years and it has been very benefitial for my health and mental clarity. Results are seen from the first time. https://youtu.be/VgrkkQkSNzw The video doesn't allow embedding

I prefer black pornstars

Maybe you would benefit from it Civilized alien! You should hop into a cage and brawl with another monkey, while screaming "ooh ooh" "ah ah" and furiously beating your chest in a display of primal dominance.

@OBEler lmao that trip video made me high just by watching Definitely you shouldn't trip like a maniac but it can be an extremely life transforming experience: to become insane, forget all limits and explote in a million sensations.

That's a legit trap. Although playing the devil's advocate, I don't see how playing tennis is a skill you will need in "the real world" either. Among all invented sports, martial arts are the most connected to primal human nature and can significantly enhance your survival skills in various scenarios. Additionally, swimming is an excellent holistic sport that promotes overall health and may also improve survival skills.

Still figuring it out. In the sense of making it useful and of value to other people.

Oh, now I got it. This was the piece that I wasn't clearly seeing

Yes, but that's the exception. De-escalation will work most of the time and if it doesn't you didn't have many options to begin with

@Leo Gura De-escalation is an art in this regard, there's many literature on the subject. I'm sure this conversation has many connections in the collective sphere with wars and conflict in general now that I'm thinking about it.

There are different figther archetypes. It's true that there is a monk fighter archetype in martial arts, but don't overspiritualize everything

The less armed US civilian:

I'm interested in a state of the art video about God. The cutting edge, something among the lines of the poetry video. The message-bottle has been thrown into the sea

It is so. But how deeply do you understand the other side? I'm 2h in and is very eye opening.

Do you think personal development has made it harder for you to find a life long partner? As the difference in SD is so abrupt.

Wow, that was a real fight indeed. Hands are actually the worse part of the body to hit with, that's why gloves are worn in the first place. Kicks are better but you need flexibility and elbows are also good but you need to break the distance. There are tones of martial arts that use objects, which end up being more useful for street fighting, the best in this area is Arnis. A more specific martial art is Kendo very brutal but just uses sticks. Although since guns exist, martial arts for self-defence have become pretty useless, a knive or a gun and you are done. If you ever want to try a martial art I would recommend you BJJ, it's safe, useful, fun and a sport for intelligent people. It is. If you would like to check the most real fights, there is a company called King Of The Streets. Fights are bare knuckle, no rounds, no rest till one can't go anymore and no rules. It's not my cup of tea and I don't like the subculture, but it's good to see how humans actually fight 1vs1. I like this fight you will feel the spirit of such combats and how everything changes moment to moment; Warning it's graphic.

Ou yeah man, the good old herb. Enjoy

@Keryo Koffa You'll need to deconstruct science. You are awakening but still have lingering scientific worldviews that corrupt your sense making. I higly recommend you see Leo's video on the subject. It will blow your mind and clean everything for you so that science is not limiting you for answering questions like: What is consciousness? What is Reality? What is other? What is I? and so on

@Basman Martial arts teach you precisely that. If you train you will see how limited you actually are and you won't overstimate your capabilities on the streets. This is a common thread among practiciones, the more they practice the more they would avoid an actual fight because they know how unpredictable is a street combat.

@Yimpa Hope you post a trip report. What will be your choosen substance?

I agree. But I tried to give insights into the phenomena the individual was facing, instead of directly suggesting to: "Just keep your mouth shut". I get what you are saying and I know it's the mature river mouth where he will arrive, but in my opinion you failed to address him where he was at. Maybe I overrated screaming for the means of releasing energetic blockages. Maybe you also underrated it. Tripping peacefully and in balance is clearly the mature approach.

You are losing the point, the end is not screaming in itself. Scream can facilitate the release of the trauma and the energy. The shit to get out is not the scream, it's the trauma in the psychosoma, for that a scream can help you. It's like giving birth, you don't need to scream but for releasing it may help you. Of course, if it's screaming for its own sake and just because you're high on psychedelics that is something to mentally let go of. This is clear.

Why do you think you screamed? Maybe it was such an energetic release of the egoic structure that a scream was needed. People with huge traumas stored may also need punctual screams to let that go. I don't scream loud either but there's something about inner screaming that rips away my inner structure. I can bypass physically screaming but I totally understand how in a specific situation a total energetic release via screaming, growling and convulsion can be absolutely life transforming.

There's a difference between a punctual scream of energetic release and screaming because you are losing your mind

Not often, but sometimes it is. Although it can be an internal scream rather than an external one. It usually happens at the end of one cycle of healing. Think of it as an onion, when you get to the end of a layer, there's a breaking of a deep rooted inner pattern in the psychesoma/muscle-memory/energy. This final breaking usually happens in a internal contorsion and feels like breaking something stuck inside you, screaming can usually help with this primal release. Then a new layer will open up for deeper healing and you'll work through it as usual till you get to the end of such a layer which you'll need to again physically break. Stop elucubrating excuses and just do it, the path will balance itself out. It's not like that but even if it were it's a bargain. Such a release would cost you years of therapy and hundreds of hours of personal work and sport to get that deep into the hardware. You will feel such a release, like you had a constant brain fog on you and now you feel so much lighter and refreshed. If you really need to scream for a release is because what was stored in the first place is at least as painful as a scream, if not more... What is stored is trauma in the end, when it gets out, that capsule is reopened (and FELT) to be finally released, in that intense moment a scream can help you get it out. Imagine you are shitting a big pieace of shit that doesn't get out of your ass, a scream can give you a final push and get it out, or you can calmly relax and let it go silently while its tearing your ass. So it's more like ripping off a band-aid, you can do it directly and scream or slowly and go through it. but hey you can relax and let it go also, without scream while it's tearing your ass before leaving to never come back.

I've been noticing that some situations make me shake internally, I still manage them properly but they take out my inner balance and stability. This desire has been coming again and again, Self-Grounding. I want to become rooted in myself when situations may come up in my life, to be able to stand my ground without shaking, to have a deepness of character. I have some critics to stoicism but there's something about stoicism that my personality and psychology would benefit from. It's not that I'm ungrounded but there are many factors from my personality to my physical build (very tall and thin) that are not prone for a strong sense of inner grip. I was wondering if you could offer me any tips for becoming well-established and robust in my inner ecosystem.
