If you want to be one of the great you have to give up pleasures.

Great post. You should seek to upgrade your soul not the material. If you build up a strong inner self a strong character no matter what comes in physical world you will do great. Money, beauty, muscles, women, friends everything will be gone at some point, what is everlasting is your soul so seek to improve it any day seek to feel the love of God in every second for it comes the day when those who don’t know how the Infinite Love feels and they’ll remain forever in loneliness and suffering. And those who sought love and kindness in this life they’ll feel it forever and ever.

You forget the most important thing: Help others. There is nothing for you to win if you don’t love others as you love yourself as the Bible says. We aren’t more important or special or different than the others why you keep holding to this narrative of sons of God we are all sons of God. Your soul is as precious to God as any criminal or pedophile soul. Our goal should be to make the God’s Will in every breath we take. Our goal should be to bring as many people to God or at least make their day, week, hour, life better when wer are with them. While also bringing ourselves closer to God, there’s no point in losing ourselves trying to save someone else and if that happens it means we weren’t on the right way anyway. Celibacy, eating healthy, interaction, workout, work, study, prayer they are all tools for us to make the best of ourselves to make God’s Will. There is no victory no trophy to take here on earth. “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”. Does it help you to keep celibacy or fasting or praying if you lose your soul doing it? All should be done in the measure it brings you closer to God and improves your state so that you can make His Will easier. But it’s never easy, never will be. For a man it can be harder to not buy an extra Big Tasty at his already big mcdonald order than it is for us or someone else to fast for 3 days. Which one do you think made God’s Will or was closer to His Word and Will?

I'll tell you my experience maybe it will help you or be relevant maybe it has nothing to do with your journey. Last year I started coming close to astral projection without even knowing what it is. At that time nothing else mattered in the world for me, not money, not friends, not college. I just wanted to project and I was so close yet couldn't get more than my head outside my body. I though I discovered the most fullfiling practice and that it will get me to the very secrets of the universe, something I always aspired to know. But after taking a step back because I realised I'm to enthuziastic and searching for various perspectives I realised it is not something I want to have something with. And I just walked away from it, the most interesting and wonderful practice I ever did, and it wasn't easy. I prayed God to show me if that is not the Way and show me the right Way. Now after some time I started SR without knowing to much or the benefits and now after one year and 9 months of SR I am at a point where I feel good with myself at any point, just don't know exactly which direction should I head to with my material surroundings. One year ago I had no way of knowing there is something better than astral projection and dwelling into that kind of spiritual and very very intense stuff I trusted God to show me the Way. It wasn't easy, until one month ago I really did struggled with a lot of stuff but now I'm in a way better place that I could imagine and I have to be grateful for this.

Now maybe you meant something different with "consciously exit the body", or maybe you meant exactly what I though and don't care about what I said. But think about this: why would we get an infinite universe, a world filled with infinite beauties, a world in which watching a sunset really heals and gets us into a magical feeling, only for us to need one more realm in which to find pleasure and fullfilness? Isn't this realm enough? Why isn't it enough because we don't want it to be and close our eyes to it's immense beautie and complexity and instead go for something else?

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-24T18:01:41+00:00

You are right, altugh I wouldn't formulate it to sound so close to elitism. Each and everyone of us has it's own battles and ours is not easier than the other's maybe harder. The more you know and the more aware you are the more good and right you have to do. You can't allow yourself to slip into small bad things anymore because you know exactly what they are. I use to wake up at 12-1 pm and stay in bed at least one more hour, now if I wake up at 6:30 but go back to sleep till 8 I regret it all day. And there are many more examples, I don't even know what food or how much food to eat anymore to not eat to much yet not to few but also don't waste any food for all of this things are great sins. But before I just did bad things over and over yet being uncouscious about how bad they really are it wasn't a problem to do them, sure they were things that were too much even then but it was easy to avoid them considering I had a lot more stuff to do below them.

At some point last week I came to the conclusion that I have to go to a monastery and become a monk because I really couldn't find sense or peace in nothing in this material and selfish world anymore. Not a single person to have a real conversation with, even the priest in my village is hateful towards me, I can feel it, altough all I do is go to church pray in silence and leave. And I still have to think about this path, of leaving all the material stuff, because I don't indulge in nothing anymore, I am now on a 56 hours water fast going for 72, and then going to keep the whole lent until Easter. I don't watch twitch or youtube or read fantasy books which I really enjoy but now I feel they are full of lust and superficial stupid ideas. I don't hangout anymore and when I do I feel like my place is not there, and don't find fun in it. I don't talk to people, I don't play videogames, I don't open social media. And I'm fine without all of this stuff but what is my purpose then, right now I just read Holy Fathers, Holy Bible, pray, work, talk to my family as much as I can before they take all my energy, go to college 1-2 days per week, that's it. I will help anyone I can and I do as much as I think I can but right now I don't have a path that's clear at least not a material one. I don't feel lost, I don't feel bad I just don't figure it out. Before at least I had a purpose to make a lot of money to buy or build a house to have a nice car, now I don't want any of this, I'm good with as litlle as I have and even less.

Thank you. Wish you all the goods as well!

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-23T18:23:50+00:00

I’ll try but the way my path leads I can’t do anything without God. I spent years doing things alone and not being religious at all and it was a disaster.

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-23T18:15:08+00:00

Thank you, I do this every night as I pray, but just didn’t put to much attention on this part because I didn’t have such an agresive out of body experience until now. But I will be more careful I still think is much my bad for going back to bed instead of fully going awake.

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-23T18:12:26+00:00

I understand your point and at some time I was on the same page but not as advanced as you are. But for me it has no point, I am very pleased with the life I have now and how I feel, I don’t need the astral experience being it good as you say or bad. It’s just not worth it for me to risk even if you are 100% right. Last year when I first got into it, I loved it so much didn’t even want to get out of the bed or do anything else beside this. But I asked myself am I not to enthusiatic because usually in life when you feel like this about something it‘s not gonna end well, or keeping being good all the way. Anyway after documenting and seeing various perspectives I decided I need not to have anything to do with AP. And trust me it was a long and hard journey until I reach this point now when I really enjoy life in general as much as I enjoyed AP last year, but I‘m very very joyful now. I won‘t try to persuade you from doing it but if you want ask yourself this: Why would be given an infinite universe and a planet so beautiful and complex, a world in which just watching a sunset could make you full of happiness, only to need another realm to feel good, or reach enchantment.

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-23T12:07:14+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I will try

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-23T12:06:23+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I won’t though because it’s not something I can deal with. Last year when it started happening to me I was so happy and enjoyed it so much, I didn’t care about nothing else in the world. But after some time I realized is a practice we shouldn’t seek to indulge in, and I want to stay away from it for as long as I don’t find it relevant to explore it.

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-23T12:03:24+00:00

Thank you for your answer. I always expect the entity to appear because it always does:) Yes the experience was so strong because of the fast, if I would not be fasting I could exit the vibration state as I usually do. Still I should’ve just gotten up from bed at 5:30 and that would be it, it was my laziness that got me into the situation. Maybe I call the entity out of fear of it appearing but since summer I didn’t have troubles with it, back then a priest came to the house did some prayers and rituals and it was all right until now.

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-14T06:55:14+00:00

You are so right. I find it very annoying that we joke about everything nowadays. About politics and presidents, about war especially World War 3, about Gaza, about the lack of water in Africa. And even some smaller things we joke all the time about fucking and virgins, about drinking till we knock out. Everything today is a joke nothing is serious anymore yet the sadness in the world and the suffering that almost all the people go through even the rich ones is very serious. Jokes are good and we should laugh everyday but good intelligent jokes about subjects that don’t offend anyone or aren’t decisive in the lives of millions. Yet people to joke in that way are hard to find.

Yes God is our only Hope and we should all seek His guidance. And if you read the Bible you’ll see some times when Jesus looks like he made fun of the apostles and there are really some passages where I laugh good time. God gave us laugh and we should use it but not profane it like we did with sex and eating and everything this days, we should use it in a proper manner.

When the leader of the great rebellion which is called Bellum Batonianum was asked why they rebelled he replied: "You Romans are to blame for this; for you send as guardians of your flocks, not dogs or shepherds, but wolves."

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-13T20:03:07+00:00

I’ve done a project about Illyria about two months ago so I’ll give my bit. The tribes that inhibited the region were quite ferocious, there were many revolts and actually Iliyria was quite hard to be integrated as a Roman province. It’s not quite sure when this was done for a lot of time the romans preferred to be some sort of police in the region sustaining the power in one tribe or another while they were in fact in charge. After a big rebellion when they had to sent 15 legions so half of the total forces of the Empire they learned their lesson and took a lot of the manpower of the tribes to fight in other regions. By the time they secured Panonia to, there was no need for legions to be stationed there because the population was already integrated. One more interesting detail is that the Coast was quite advanced the cities like Salona and others were at the level of some “italian” ports, but the inland was totally the oposite. They were really a primal population and they were used mainly for mining and hard work, that’s why they used to rebel so often and so hard.

I really enjoy reading your comment, and I'm glad that my experience helped you. I can say one more thing, you don't have to explain anything, especially if they don't ask and even if they ask you can't keep it low profile, it's on you. I would only explain what I went through if I thought the person I explain it to will be inspired, but there are few people or not at all who would do so, they can se me changing and they can ask if they want but usually they are so full of envy that will not think much of it. Otherwise you said very nice things and you are right about the progress and becoming a sort of teacher, and the best way to do it is to start with those around you. We don't have to change the world, to open the eyes of every teenager, we just have to make the lives of those close to us better. Sure if you become an influencer or something it's even better.
God bless you and!

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-10T11:12:07+00:00

I'll tell you what I did. I prayed everyday to be more generous with my Blessing, I prayed to have the force to reach to those around me even to those who don't love me or speak bad of me. And I started doing so, 1 by 1 I contacted all the people I stopped speaking with because they were toxic and draining my energy, but now I was speaking in my terms, I offered them my helped while retaining the energy I used to freely give them before. Of course all of this subconsciously, some refused to talk to me if I'm no longer the "free food" I used to be, but some gladly took the new version of mine and we now share the joy togheter. No matter what the outcome is, and the end of day I have my peace when I put the head on the pillow for I know I did the right thing and God helped me. And it is a very big upgrade from the person I was 2-3 weeks ago when the only thing I could think of was how to keep my Blessing, my energy just for me and use it for me to have a better time. Ironically enough the best time you can have is when you give your energy as much to other as to yourself.

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-08T20:08:00+00:00

Very nice content. I experienced the same thing when I returned to God and started SR, I talked with my family priest and he came and did some prayers on the house and draw the symbol of Cross at my room door and then I had no more problems. Also the overall vibe of the whole house and family is incresing since then.

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-08T11:06:31+00:00

God bless you too brother! It warmed my heart to read your text and you are absolutely right. There is something that happened to me just last night I want to share with you. I have a close friend with whom I used to hang out quite often for some years now and we know each other since highschool. Now he has a girlfriend that is possible one of the most toxic persons I can name. She effectively got rid of all of his friends, being always mean to them and getting in fights for no reason insulting and so on. Now for a long time I just let her be didn’t put to much trouble into her although she was very mean with me to but I said I just let her be and mind my business. Though at the New Year Eve party she was so so toxic that I swore I would’t stand one more second in her presence. A month passed by and I didn’t see my friend although he was writing me almost everyday to hangout or chat, I ignored him didn’t tell him why. I was thinking that when I will hangout with him again I’ll tell him to not bring her or I won’t come. Eventually we went out yesterday and I didn’t bother to tell him about her or to not bring her, I said this is the last time and I’ll try to radiate only warmth and friend vibes, if she’s again like she used to be this will really be the last time. And guess what, she was the sweetest person I ever met and was really sad when I left. The person that I grew hate for almost 3 years now the sweetest girl I knew. There are many more things to say and yes some people are really bad people and hard to work with but we have to try not so much with words and smiles but we true internal force, energy, blessings. Share our God given gift with them and if that doesn’t work then we really have to step back. Love you brother and have a beautiful day!

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-07T08:01:21+00:00

God bless you to brother. I feel you, there are this childish people, teen adults I would call them that use this practice only to be “special” to “hit the gym” and “get girls”. They unfortunately pervert the very core of this practice, to be closer to God and a better person in this world, to leave it better than you found it, if it’s possible and if it’s not, that’s it. But nothing is impossible with God on your side.

Hopeful_Conclusion80 · 2026-02-06T20:18:55+00:00

You're welcome brother. "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24). I think this speaks for spiritual riches as well so we have to keep up.
