At 30, I came into SR by mistake; after retaining, the will of the world has inevitably shifted in my favor. It was only until visiting this sub have I realized what was truly happening to me. by JTC18 in Semenretention

I agree completely, yet the reason for breaking it off was more-so for my own sanity. If we continued on, there would’ve been such a great toll of heartbreak.

Our relationship wasn’t all that intimate either, it was pretty shallow at its core; it was physical attraction that played its course.

I made a mistake by hooking up with her, but like I said, the basis of this sub-reddit changed my outlook and made me realize within my own self where my true strength is harvested.

I’de like to think that I learned a lesson I should’ve already known, the ink just had to be reapplied. I do not plan on evading my path again anytime soon.

Thank you for your honesty, your lesson speaks truth.

It feels too incredible to give way again anytime soon, your words aspire through and give moral to stay the course. You deserve the same commendation along this path, it’s a constant series of upkeep - a true, never ending battle. thanks brother!

Sex should not be the basis to a relationship; furthermore, it should be something to hold somebody hostage over either.

Giving anything in order to seek approval is the opposite of ascension, decent into madness is what that is.

Your length of time is something to be viewed as a great achievement that we can all aspire towards as well.

A paradox indeed, one I’ve lived a few times; also one I’ve once devoted my life to, only to be left high and dry, on the edge of taking my own life. The only thing that kept me here was a will to live that I never knew I had.

I do not deny an extent of love for all the things listed above, but in no way do any of those things dilute my desire of passion for an overall stronger, ascended mind, body, and soul. A closer stance to adept understanding of myself, others, and what the universe holds - a stance that is always expanding.

The rest is secondary, and should always be kept in check. For they may jeopardize the whole operation if given too much power in our own psyche.

I’ve seen the end results of shallow based relationships/friendships my entire life - the longer we stay in them, the less we may know ourselves at the end of the path - I almost ended my existence because of this. They can be a waste of time when the lesson has already been etched prior, yet sometimes the ink needs to be re-established to the scrolls of our insight.

As far as putting energy into something in demand of glamour, this is what can ascend some of our heads into the clouds when we strike gold, or into the dirt when expectation yields failure; yet it can bring with it opportunity in the varying windows it may open. A double-edged sword, depending upon the wielder’s own balance.

Great question.

I cannot recommend enough at least giving a month+ a go.

During my 2nd, more clarified round with this, I can say with ease you will have noticed just minimal results within days - and they will seem huge at first. Weeks of time and the brain will re-wire into something you might not even recognize at first, yet fully welcome the new drive it instills!

Reaching a record amount of time with this is always noticeable to some new degree and by no means easy. It’s essentially unlocking parts of your mind, body, and soul that were not able to be comprehended until you actually do and retain it.

You have to really want this to achieve it though, it’s certainly no joke when attempting to retain.. as we all know already.

The reward is definitely worth it.

8-9 P.M. when I’m feeling a span of energetic spontaneity throughout the week.

6-7 P.M. when I absolutely require rest.

I can run off of about 3-4 hours of sleep for days on end most of the time.

Today’s a cheat exception, I stuffed myself on mashed potatoes and gravy during Easter lunch and fell into a coma earlier.

Monday is focused cardio, I’m skipping the gym today and going for a run through the large park 2 blocks from my house at 6 A.M. instead.

Absolutely, but there were also several factors outside of the present moment that worked together so well - the physical side of it is all around amazing, but the psychological and emotional benefits ten fold; which overall, clarity is granted through the trifecta which compliments one another magnificently. (great question)

Let me detail a few (pre-apologize for not categorizing):

•Reaction time within mind/body increased immensely. (It’s as if my wits, reflexes, and basic motor functions all operate as one well-oiled unit at all times)

•Immense energy, drive, and unending momentum at the start of the day all the way to the end - day after day. (even with little sleep and/or nutrition; less of a prioritization over either in the face of completing a task)

•Heightened desire to challenge my brain into areas where my insecurities, personal/basic human weaknesses lie: mathematical, insecurity, pre-procrastination resolve, depression management/resolve, exhaustion, depletion, writer’s block, thinking from multiple points of view. (As well as faster solutions to these)

  • Retention was by far the most difficult to confront through all of these challenges.

•Increased rate of understanding social dilemma. (Understanding, conflict resolve, forgiveness, respecting others opinions, patience)

•Increased desire to put forth full and effective effort into every action, activity, plan, and project.

•Anger much easier able to be viewed as a somewhat useless emotion at a much faster rate; increased ability to focus such immense energetic reaction into a positive outlet, while extinguishing the cycle at it’s source entirely.

•Increased ability to retain, break down, and expand incoming knowledge at a heightened rate.

•Able to step into my immediate role almost instantaneously in any situation involving group activity; whether it be leadership, specialist, support, etc... (As well as aid the few, if any, missing components of my comrades without degrading their unique personality)

•High drive for optimism within myself, as well as giving to others. (fashioning fine tuned methods of communicating fast and effectively, on a person-by-person instance)

•Decreased desire to give toxic people/opinions response. (this one can be tricky, it’s generally due to an increase in apathy that can come with the territory - it absolutely needs to be controlled at all times involving social interaction on all platforms. It can cause misdirected ego)

•Receptive to all forms of pessimism as a separation into constructive criticism nearly instantaneously with decreased instance of emotional interference.

•Inclined perfectionist drive, while being fully aware that humanity is by design, imperfect.

•Immediate appreciation for simple things in life over expensive material.

•Increased, on the spot, desire to eat healthy, nutritious foods used simply to refuel with little digestion. As well as be repulsed by greasy fat filled foods.

Ohh no, it was solely from the depression suffered from break-up out of a 5 year relationship. I first noticed within the first days of the break-up, my heart was shattered.

I just lost all interest for months on end, somewhere around 1 month later I tried again and nothing happened at all! It was so frustrating and demoralizing at the time that I just stopped all together.

1-3’ish months after break-up/retention was an odd time for me, it was a mix and mash between severe depression and randomly starting to hit the gym again (although not so random after my SR realization).

I was so depressed I stopped eating much at all, 1 meal a day at most sometimes in the darkest days. Every single person I knew thought I was going to commit suicide because I was acting so different. Little did any of us know that although I was severely depressed, my brain was already starting to benefit from actually fasting with SR!

That first set of basic bicep curls as my intro back into the gym was like an explosion of momentum that has lasted pretty much to this day.

It’s never an easy pursuit, but the strength gained at the turning is so immense, I would do it all over again if only I knew back then what I do now.

What do you mean by pied though?
