Today during my morning meditation I felt energy for the first time near my pelvic area. I first tried to disperse the energy through my body through deep breathing that I read about in "The Way of the Superior Man" However it was futile and all the energy gathered in my penis and my mind in the form of sexual thoughts. I am doing NoFap so this was a new experience for me. Just thought this was relevant

I say yes. There is nothing to judge if you don't cling to concepts of right vs wrong.

lmfao I need to get this moved to self actualization...I mean to post it there but I posted here by accident

i am not really liking the new system...I like being able to like people's comments

@saint_charming7 increase you meditation time to two hours if your life purpose cannot leverage the power of meditation then you either misunderstand the full benefits of meditation or your purpose sucks

@CuteCornDog the problem is not that people are making you upset, it's that your mind is upsettable. work on that. - the Buddha you cant change others. you can change yourself you be a diamond

Music is an amazing tool for lifting spirits I love to listen to rap music with lots of swearing and violence because their mastery with spoken word motivates me to improve myself Music is awesome! Sad music, happy music, angry music All of them are tools that can be used to get yourself into the moment when you are feeling down/lazy/unmotivated Listen to music and enjoy it fully! (be mindful of the effect music has on you and make the decision whether it is helping or not)

found a vipasssana retreat online the teacher is the nicest man named Alex Young who is only about 35 years old but he has been doing deep vipassana meditation for like 12 years or something He has helped me a lot with my meditation and now I'm going to thailand to meditate in a monastery (that he recommended) for 3 months I only found him through research and reaching outside my comfort zone That's why Luke found Yoda in a hidden swamp on another planet "When the student is ready, the teacher appears"

I've already noticed that I am more likely to leave a comment such as "Good job!" as a way to give praise now that the like system has been removed now that the like system has been removed...there may be a rise in useless praise comments on the other hand... Now I am more motivated to say something useful

this is an exciting idea I'm in Toronto

sounds pretty profound...thanks for sharing!

ratings are not very important for me I would occsaionally use them as a tool to "filter through" many different responses I probably wouldn't miss the ratings if they were gone Test it out dude ... experimentation can only lead to improvement and i think that it is a step in the right direction but your word is law almighty astral ape @Leo Gura

@Shanmugam monks meditate more than you You are giving up progress in meditation for progress in other things I'm not saying whats right and wrong I'm just saying that monks are not missing out on anything because they decided to devote their life to meditation. That's like saying I'm missing out on eating meat because I decided to become a vegetarian. My two cents

be selfless = heaven be selfish = hell see?

Leo the shit you have been releasing recently is fkn gold...GOLD I TELL YOU GOLD! Haha honestly tho you are teaching existence in such a profound way and I have many insights Good job!

Did a tad of research today about sensory deprivation chambers and I am very willing to try it out... here's a good intro that I watched about the topic. I am going to book a 1 hour float within the next week (for about $40CAD) Has anyone done a float tank before? How was your experience? What do you think about floating as a tool for consciousness work?

Thanks for the feedback guys! I still think that I'm going to give it a try just to see what it is like for myself...however there is probably a lot more benefit if you can float consistently.

I read hand-picked parts of the book in my philosophy class I am very surprised at how this book gained such great popularity! The average middle aged woman who has never heard of enlightenment before must have no fucking clue what Tolle is talking about! He talks about the unborn and the absolute...such difficult concepts that even I don't understand after months of research! The teachings are clear and relatively accurate...but they're so accurate that I'm just surprised how this book gained so much popularity when I feel like 99% of the mainstream audience reading this book must be totally lost in delusion (including myself of course)

no skipping. By no means do I have perfect understanding of spiral dynamics but I wouldn't worry about specifically diagnosing exactly what stage you are at because it is very difficult to diagnose yourself as you have a tendency to put yourself higher on the scale. Also, I'm sure that you understand that different parts of your psyche can reside in different stages of spiral dynamics. According to what you're saying you are definitely inching your way into the yellow stage but you cannot skip stages... It is very typical of an orange to mistake themselves as a yellow because they have similar self-centered mindsets, just like how it is easy for a green to mistake themselves as turquoise. overall, no skipping, that's just not how it works and frankly, I don't think that it is very important to spend your time worrying about stuff like this

@Will Bigger I personally have not done enough contemplation on the topic of creation...but the way that bernardo tells his "creation story" was just a little bit unsatisfactory for me

I used to experience similar things and I would crave to play engrossing rpg games like WOW @Shin is right...they won't fulfill you

I thoroughly enjoyed the most recent vlog that you posted on your blog! Keep doing those! I found that one to be very inspiring and just as powerful as many of your more formal videos! Naturally most of us probably don't care about if your videos are formal or informal...we just want some pure, raw insights! Of course the formal videos are amazing as well - its really crazy to see such polish and structure in 90 minute lectures! Keep it up!

I am in your exact position. How to deal with NoFap energy: study sexual transmutation...you need to pour your sexual energy into something positive like working out or helping others How to deal with overwhelming possibilities: Do something that you like to do...listen to music... Pick a book that speaks to you and read it...don't think about the thousands of books that are out there...just focus on the one and take it for what it is. Focus on one thing at a time...since you are on Nofap right now....I would just focus on meditating for 1 hour every single day...that's more than enough to focus on for the time being...once your meditation habit is in place, then you can start to focus on other things Prioritize your life....here is a rough draft of my daily to do list 1. Meditate 1 hr 2. read 30 mins 3. workout 30 mins easy enough? edit: obviously you shouldn't copy my to do list if it doesn't feel right for you. I just was giving an example to show you an example of how easy it is to make simple and articulate goals. P.S. bad things will happen to you and you will fall off track in your life...always remember...don't quit and STAY ON THE PATH

ok ok thanks guys I guess I fucked up lol its ok now I know
