The Furious, Man on fire, and Lioness(Marines), are binge worthy! The fighting is very intriguing!! '

@LordFallYes, but for me you need arousal and an erection. It wakes you up. Afterward, I do fire kasina. You can feel the immediate shift when you edge in the morning, and I tend to feel blissed out throughout the day, especially when I follow it with more Kriya Yoga, Thokar, or even second initiation pranayama. I pay close attention to the shifts happening inside me and operate based on them. I try to make finer distinctions between the different states I enter. I’ve noticed that this state enhances my willpower, consistency, and ability to execute properly. It gives me the drive to keep working without stopping, sometimes to an insane degree. It feels like a bull constantly moving forward. Especially if you don’t ejaculate, you can feel like a powerhouse. I see it as energy. Use it or raise it.

@Monster Energy If you simply inject estrogen, it’ll remove your porn addiction. 😂 I’m glad to hear you finally conquered your addiction, though. Honestly, I wake up and edge to porn after serious Kriya as a way to start my day and increase ojas. Then I study hard and build skills. If not porn, then what else? Two hours of porn vs. a two-hour movie either way, it’s time spent on entertainment. I just try not to let porn become an impediment to the rest of my life. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to.

I am trying to understand how you organized your habits, projects, and daily work during your early years compared with how you operate now. Aside from your commonplace book and the Life Purpose Course, what external systems do you actually use? For example: Calendar or fixed schedule Daily task lists Habit tracking Journaling Project-management systems Systems for prioritizing competing goals How many separate systems do you use, and which ones have remained useful over time? After reading a lot of Metarationality and Meaningness, I think I understand why an overly rigid system cannot fully handle the nebulosity of real life, but I may be misunderstanding that. How do you balance structure with flexibility? When several valuable tasks compete for your attention, how do you decide what deserves your time that day? I recently started using Obsidian for daily notes and journaling, but I am beginning to wonder whether I am complicating everything. Would a basic list and calendar be enough? What does your actual daily process look like? I am also curious whether you use any repeatable process for becoming highly skilled at difficult things, such as computer programming. You have mentioned the brute-force method before. How does that method fit into your daily schedule without crowding out everything else? I could really use some practical suggestions. Also, when do you expect the bootstrapping video to be released? @Leo Gura

@PolyPeter @PolyPeter I’m thinking of transferring from MCC and doing a CS B.A. so I can really study sound/audio alongside it at UB or another school. My idea is to eventually solve music-related problems for people like me. Learning sound engineering was hell at times, and I think there are tools or better learning systems that could make it easier. I am still working out the details. I do not know exactly where my paycheck will come from after college yet. Right now I am focused on building real foundations in CS and physics, then learning how to apply their frameworks across more than one domain.

@PolyPeter Yeah, I use Claude Code and Codex daily. I understand that coding itself is changing fast, which is part of why I am unsure. I do not want to become someone who only writes boilerplate. I was thinking CS could give me the deeper foundation to use AI well, build and understand systems, and eventually make music software(it is a framework for thinking). But my older brother did computer engineering and hated it. He says the job market comes in waves and tells me to do something else. I honestly do not know what “something else” is that has better upside and still fits me. Music is the thing I have real ability in, but the music courses here are weak and the industry path feels unstable. So I am trying to figure out whether CS is still a reasonable foundation, or whether I am forcing myself into another dead end.

I am 26 and back in community college doing a 2+2 toward computer science. For years, music was my main thing. I can mix, master, make beats, sing, write songs, rap, and play some piano. I am genuinely good at it. But I started realizing that the sound-engineer path is extremely hard, especially with home studios, location, competition, and the general state of the industry. Maybe some of that is a limiting belief, but I did not want to bet my entire life on it. So I chose computer science because I want a skill that is needed in waves and could eventually let me make music software or solve real music problems. I want to become genuinely good at something valuable, not just survive. The hard part is that I feel behind. I bought the Life Purpose Course and completed it more than once. I still review my Me Sheet and parts of the course. I understand the idea of mastery in theory, but finding the actual domain and building a career around it feels much harder in real life. I also feel socially out of place. I thought I was moving into actual apartments at college. Instead, I am in gender-inclusive quad dorms with mostly 18-year-olds. I leave my room every day because that is a rule I made for myself, but I worry my social skills are getting worse. I do not know how to socialize without feeling weird, older, or like I am forcing it. I want feedback on a few things: Is CS plus music software a realistic path toward mastery and strong income? What would you focus on during a 2+2 CS path if the goal is to make serious money after college? How do you stay social and build a life at community college when you are older than most people around you? How do you tell the difference between a realistic concern about the music industry and a limiting belief that is making you quit too early? Has anyone here rebuilt their direction in their mid-20s and found a path that actually worked?

@Ulax Todd v in my opinion is the best when it comes to learning game.

@spiritcore 😂😂😂 You cannot be creative during a K-hole. Goodluck

Cycles are better than full abstinence. You will eventually release. It's impermanent. Convert rsther than suppress. I sometimes will just edge for 30 days straight to further increase Ojas energy. I love it. I think about Brahmacharya everyday.

@stephenkettley 32 days i did it last month! Haha it was brutal. I have a very high sex drive. The secret to going longer is to avoid having an erection during the day and spend more time doing hard work. It is impossible after day 14 I become super sensitive!

I keep a personal tracker inside my calendar each day where I track the day I am on. There are profound benefits after day 7 of Brahmacharya. I have huge lists of benefits. For me not releasing is beneficial. I get POIS which sucks.

Or, read the pamphlet

@Leo Gura 😂😂😂😂 Self-deception

@Natasha Tori Maru CODEX Is the GOAT. Claude code too.
