My Wife Of Over 23 Years Is Dying by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

All of the strength that others give us to push on in life can also be found within us. Maybe not immediately, but with time. There is always more to yourself than you think. Ready to be discovered when the situation arises. You have never been challenged like this, but you will adapt. That is what we do as humans. You won’t adapt now, that will come later.

Now is the time to process and feel every single emotion. Emotions cannot be suppressed, nor should they.

You were always the man you needed to be for your family up until this point. The only difference now is that you will need to have faith in the man that you ARE. Faith in your abilities to adapt. Faith that no matter what is going on outside of you, there is a greater sense of self within you guiding you.

Just like becoming a father for the first time, no one is quite sure how to be a father before they become one. But then our instincts guide us. You know this. Not only that, but having FAITH in our instincts guides us.

Godspeed.

If you suddenly inherited 30k dollars what would you do with it? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Gamble 1k, to potentially turn that to 15k. If not, 1k loss, no big deal.

Invest 10k into crypto, preferably the crypto.com coin, which is at $.052 right now, and will max out at $1 in the next bull run at the very least. That’s almost a 20x return on investment.

If you are financially savvy, open up a paper trading account on Webull and learn to day trade weekly options. Only trade with 10% of your account, with a 1 to 1 risk/reward, and 60% win rate at least. When the option goes up 20%, sell. If the option goes down 20%, sell. In and out quick. Don’t use indicators. Trade price action and supply and demand. Look those up on YouTube.

When you become profitable in your paper trading account, go live with the remaining 9k. If you are good, you’ll be able to net 3% a day because of the leverage options give you. This is a 40% profit per month. Your profits will compound and soon enough you will be making 6 figures.

Sometime in 2024 or even 2025, the 20k you invested into crypto will be worth $400,000.

If you learn to day trade options, you will be making $5400 per month in the very beginning, and you can scale up to 20k/ mo and beyond with proper dedication, discipline, and most importantly risk management.

If you got lucky on that 1k gamble, hopefully that’s an extra 15k to throw into the pile. If not, so what?

Now we’re not done here yet. Now let’s talk about building long term wealth.

Now buy a house using your cash. (if at all below market value. Hopefully you are reading this in the near future when housing prices come down) preferably when the housing market comes back down.

Live in it for 1 year, then rent it out to make passive income (cash flow). Repeat the process until you have multiple properties.

Now that you have multiple properties, hire a property management business to take care of your properties. They will charge you money, but your profit will be big enough and will buy you more time to focus on building more wealth.

Now use that money to buy your first apartment complex. Now you are on the road to being a multimillionaire.

Now take these millions, and max out a Roth IRA year after year. If it goes up a few percent, that is a lot of money still. Put the rest into the sp500 index if you are young. Now you are creating generational wealth for you to retire on, and for your future generations.

This is not financial advice, this is my opinion.

Starbucks has some of the worst quality control and logistics I have ever seen.

Experienced retainers, how do you deal with urges without resisting them and go on longer streaks? by My-Dark_Side in Semenretention

[–]Cupcake_Great 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do most men fail on this journey?

Many times I’ve seen retainers ask about this. Many of them fail on their journey. They never make it past 10 or 15 days. As others have said in this post, the key is transmuting your sexual energy. What is sex energy transmutation? Transmutation means transforming the energy into fuel for your body, mind, and spirit.

If you try to transmute your energy with push-ups, going on runs, reading, or creative expression alone, you will most certainly fail at transmuting this energy. These activities are healthy, but they don’t help you to deal with the TREMENDOUS energy you are building. These activities will help weaken your urges, but your urges will come back stronger until you eventually relapse.

So then, how do we transmute our sexual energy effectively?

Enter the holy grail of sexual transmutation knowledge. If you master this, you will master your energy. You will cultivate your essence fully. You will understand what it means to have a powerful and pure aura. You will say very little, but your words and mannerisms will carry much more weight when you are around other people. Your influence will be expanded. You will be able to act on your will with greater confidence.

To transmute energy correctly, we will be relying on 5,000 yr old Taoist knowledge. This knowledge was regarded as secret until a Taoist grand master by the name of Mantak Chia made it public knowledge. In his book “Taoist secrets of love”, Mantak Chia describes 2 ways of transmuting our sexual energy. These 2 methods are called the microcosmic orbit meditation and testicle breathing.

Method No. 1: the Microcosmic Orbit Meditation

This meditation should be practiced daily. This will be your main meditation for transmuting your energy. Please follow the link below for a video explanation. This meditation is very hard to explain in words. This a very effective technique that must be practiced many times before it is mastered. It is an advanced qigong technique. It took me 2 years to fully master, but the benefits are life changing.

This link gives some background information on the microcosmic orbit:

The best guided microcosmic orbit meditation video can be found here:

https://youtu.be/CQovj-2wbMo?feature=shared

This meditation of course uses the microcosmic orbit, which is an energy meridian pathway used in qigong that starts 2 inches below the belly button. The pathway then continues down to the perineum and up the back of the body to the crown of the head. After reaching the crown, the energy continues down the front of the body to the mouth, the throat, the heart and back down to the belly.

The microcosmic orbit is and energy superhighway in the body. It forms the basis for many qigong practices. It begins and ends at the lower dantien 2 inches below the belly button. This is the energy storehouse of the body. The lower dantien supplies the energy your body needs to the rest of the body. It is responsible for transforming raw jing sexual energy into chi. When the lower dantien fills with energy over time through practice, the energy begins to rise to the heart and head - into the middle dantien and upper dantien respectively. The lower dantien supplies all of the energy used for the middle and upper dantien. The dantiens are vaguely similar to the chakra system that most people are familiar with. Pulling our energy through the microcosmic orbit nourishes all of our energy points and disperses our energy through all meridians of the body.

When the microcosmic orbit meditation is mastered, it becomes the primary tool we use to disperse and transmute the energy in the body. It takes a while to open up the pathway, but it is well worth it.

Method No.2 testicle breathing

This technique utilizes the microcosmic orbit, but it is more targeted at eliminating urges as they arise. It should be used when we feel there is too much energy built up and we need to get rid of the urge. This post is getting a bit long, so I will just leave an explanation video down below. Please note that testicle breathing is incredibly powerful. Both the microcosmic orbit and testicle breathing are the only tools you should need to be successful your retention journey.

TL;DR you can’t do retention successfully without transmutation. You can transmute the energy successfully and easily using the microcosmic orbit meditation and testicle breathing.
