@SFRL @stevegan928 I agree. Having the courage to actually go out and talk to random girls, you have my respect man. Don't let other people discourage you, keep up the good work!

@Leo Gura Awesome, glad it’s updated!

@David S start seeing that all the knowledge you have that hasn’t been a direct experience for you, is actually just belief. If you close your eyes the tree you were looking at disappears. In that current experience the tree doesn’t exist for you anymore. All thoughts that tell you It does are built upon belief. Check this for yourself.

@Martin123 I'm more of the inferior character. Next to your emotional guide, (Already practice it )what would you say are the best ways to heal this?

@Ilya Yes I’m on a 20 day streak now. In the beginning you have this. But as you get further and further you start being able to see women from Being perception rather than deficieny perception.

@Leo Gura Fuck, just when I thought I would go on a retreat because it seemed enjoyable and peaceful

Thanks all of you. I will use your insights to deepen my search. Much love.

During my meditation just now I suddenly had the realisation that I cannot be located anywhere. What I think of myself are actually pictures of my face in my mind. This is a deep realisation but for some reason it did not change anything. The moment when I got this insight it felt really strong, but now I still feel the same as I did beforehand. I have had this realisation multiple times now, but every time it leaves no trace. What can I do to really grasp how deep this insight goes?

@stevegan928 I’m doing both at the same time. I go to a psychologist to solve my limiting beliefs and anxiety. So you could say I am trying to become more confident and work on my ‘self’ At the same time I am also doing consciousness work and self inquiry. I don’t know if this is the right way, but I feel really pulled towards it. So I will just continue doing it I guess

Thanks for this

@Shin I don't eat any junkfood. The only thing that I can't get out of my diet atm is wheat. Of course that makes you sleepy and groggy I am aware, but I have always eaten this and before when I just started nofap I had a huge amount of energy. I'm planning to cut this out of my diet eventually but right it's quite a hassle with school and all. These last two weeks a lot of things have been surfacing in psychotherapy which I am working on right now, and I have been talking to strangers and girls in school. There is always this inner critic which really drains my mental energy and makes me overanalyse every situation. So all in all, I think I found what the cause might be. It's weird though, how much mental stuff can exhaust the body.

@phoenix666 ye me too I was pretty young when I saw that, so I cried my eyes out. Dumbledore was just such a sweet character.

@phoenix666 makes me sad. I miss dumbledore.

@Shin Thanks, that helps.

1) Your posture is very important in meditation. You have to sit upright so that you don’t get sleepy and you have to find a position that you can stay in for a while without moving too much. For example: -You could sit in a cross legged-like position on a meditation cushion or any other cushion that stays in place - You could sit in a chair if you wish, but remember to keep your spine straight, so don’t sit in a lay-back kind of chair. There are many different postures but I like these best and use them interchangeably. 2) There is not a certain way that you have to feel like after meditation. More so, you don’t even control how you feel. It happens spontaniously. Just do the technique you like and let everything happen as it occurs. Flow with the river’s current. Not against it.

@Shin I’m experiencing a flatline. Currently at 17 days but I stopped having sexual arrousal whatsoever. Also my energy is really low. I used to be able to stay awake very long but now I just get very tired really fast. btw, I haven’t had a wet dream either. Do you have experience with this? This low energy is not nice because I like to do most of my reading and self inquiring in the evening.

@Marco_the_Ape A lot of anxiety has been surfacing recently. Even though I know I should go and talk to girls I am too afraid to.

@Shiva ma boi lol

@Shin I’ve been really working on it. Remember when I couldn’t even make 10 days? Well now I made the 15 day mark 3 times already I’m currently doing a november challenge I set up for myself. See if full months will be my next step. Also, a lot of those previous 15 day streaks went wrong because I was practising solo tantra but ejaculated on accident a couple times. That felt really shitty haha.

Leo gave some answers in the ‘Diet For Consciousness Work’ thread. You could read through that.

@Shin Do you recommend the Do Nothing technique? I’ve been meditating on the breath for a while now

@ShinBut if you surrender control like in the do nothing technique, isn’t getting lost in thoughts inevitable?

I will buy a laptop just for this purpose. Writing on paper feels amazing but digital is just that much easier and faster. Not really sure which laptop though, I Like Apple products but they are quite expensive.

17 years old, I found out about Actualized.org around 2 years ago

This is actually pretty sick, keep on going man!
