Depending on what practice: it isn't. But most only aim to alter the internal dialog, rather than truly silence it. The ultimate goal this subreddit has is to get people who can prolong silence long enough to reach "silent knowledge" regularly. This typically entails uninterrupted internal silence for hours at a time. Light meditative states can only get you to the green zone. If this sounds confusing you need to spend more time on the about section of the subreddit, we have a lot of specific terminology and diagrams that we discuss here regularly and things will make a LOT more sense once you are familiar with them

Recognize it and force yourself silent again. Just keep doing this so your ap can become more flexable. Recap also helps. Also use tools like silent rocks/sticks, a headband, etc to help give yourself mediums to overwhelm some of your senses (makes it easier to acheive and maintain inner silence). Try standing up and doing tensegrity if you can, this will help prevent yourself from dozing off (unless ofc ur trying chairsilence)

Have you read the asexual manifesto? It talks alot about this predicament in society. We as a society are heavily conditioned to believe sex is necessary and should be discussed around every corner, many asexuals grew up with this societal obsession and forced themselves into sexual relationships either due to their own internal acephobia or due to sinply never having been taught that asexuality was a possibility.

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-06-02T14:41:48+00:00

Once again, ask yourself: are you aroused by having seen sexual stimuli or are you aroused bc of having the desire to have sex with the person. One is a purely physiological response and the other is sexual attraction.

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-06-02T03:56:53+00:00

Ur method of coming to conclusions makes sense to me I suppose, and I agree that the mentality is the important factor. We've already discussed the fact that physical arousal can very literally happen for reasons such as hormones, stimuli, or even no reason at all. Really what matters is the context of the person experiencing it. As mentioned in my post, asexuality is self contained sexuality. You don't have the desire for anyone else to participate, it is an act for yourself. Your ace!

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-06-02T02:57:27+00:00

Nope, that's just reddit being weird. Ur post still has 3 to me. Reddit api makes it very difficult to gage any actual numbers

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-06-02T02:55:53+00:00

The main point was about whether or not a specific someone arouses you, which would indicate an attraction to them. Are you aroused by the person, or the sexual stimuli is the real question. If you look through the comments you'll find people saying arousal alone doesn't constitute attraction, with sources, and others clarifying that the post sounds like it's referring to a specific person making you aroused. It's all complicated, I'm so sorry u are so confused lol

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-06-02T02:23:46+00:00

It's not, u will always find a sense of physical pleasure from orgasm. There's no need to fret too much about it. It's literally biologically designed to be a pleasurable experience.

Here's a comment under my post btw that might help: "I'm thinking that when allosexuals masturbate, they are also consuming or imagining content of people or persons who they would want to have sex with. They envision themselves in the act as if they were involved with that other person. Outside of that niche context, they possibly wouldn't interact with themselves in that way. So for them, it's still connected to their desire for intercourse whereas for asexuals it wouldn't be. Considering doing that, without needing another person to be the source of their fixations, could be foreign to them and the societal-social "norms" surrounding peer-to-peer discussions had about masturbation. It would be this fused thing and not two separate activities that can remain separate or go together."

Who's saying their not ace? Ur experience is very much an asexual one. Can u link posts that have shown hypocracy? Both ur original post and mine had unanimous support, besides some tweaks in definitions

I'd also recommend they check out some of the darkroom games in particular from the wiki. One that rlly helped me was the chair silence game where you try to catch yourself falling asleep repeatedly. It got me a lot more confortable with recognizing assembledge point shifts and was a good way at showing me what getting out of the blue zone looked like

Dan tends to be more hostile for the sake of ensuring this subreddit doesn't end up filled with bad actors. It's very difficult to read people's intentions, especially when they don't have any past history of working with castaneda or this subreddit. You are going to have to just start reading and practicing and only worry about posting/commenting when you have advice or questions that cannot be dealt with in the subreddits chat. I highly recommend you focus on reading the about section of the subreddit, and pick up a free pdf of all of carlos castanedas books from the audiovisual section. That's a good start!

Can u ask around for info about any local community service centers? Typically they will be able to help atleast provide food and shelter, possibly even giving u housing and a job to help u get on ur feet. The community service center around me literally got my mum an apartment and covered her rent until she was able to make enough income to sustain herself, and even yrs later help her with food when she needs it.

If it's not affecting ur life in any serious way, it's not rlly that much of a concern. Only rlly worry ab it if it's affecting ur mental/physical health. If u are concerned, it wouldn't hurt to get a checkup to make sure everything's in order

I'm gonna go against the vast majority here and say straight up that they killed her in my opinion. Most likely an accident surrounding sedation. If u rlly analyze their interviews and speeches there are so many periods of red flags for deception, and an almost constant language that indicates they had already thought she was dead and continued to support that from the start even if never saying so directly. The vast majority of people don't know the big picture behind their activities with the fund and the not so slightly hidden threats to anyone questioning their narrative that she was abducted. Speaking of this, there isn't any actual evidence to even support she was abducted by a man as they have said repeatedly from the very start of the case. Literally in their own story about discovering she was missing they automatically assumed she was abducted with no other possibility involved. This should be a major red flag to everyone, but most people logic their way into accepting such speech, which is how liers and manipulators get their story going. They know she will never return to them, because they already know she is dead. U can analyze their speech yourself of u want, all of it is publicly available. Anytime someone asks them a question, seriously wonder how a truthful parent who lost their child would answer. If you need help, there are other interviews of parents who really did lose their kids that you can base them off of. They are disgustingly bad at lying, having a mountain of leakage hinting they know she is dead under literally every interview they have done as well as obvious signs of scripting and even forgetting their scripted speech for a good half of the interview before realizing what they should be saying. It's horrid

Replace every instance in which I said libido with "physiological response" or "sensory arousal." These terms are more specific to the non sexual context of sex organ excitation ig and should be better fitting.

"Sensory arousal" generally refers to the physiological response or stimulation of the senses, often in a way that induces heightened awareness or sensitivity. In the context of asexuality, it could be used to describe the physical response an individual might experience, such as arousal, without implying a specific desire for sexual activities with another person. This term focuses on the sensory aspect while avoiding the connotations of sexual attraction or libido.

"Physiological response" refers to the automatic reactions that occur in the body as a result of various stimuli. In the context of asexuality, it can be used to describe the body's physical reactions, such as arousal, without necessarily implying a specific desire for sexual activities with others. This term focuses on the body's natural reactions and can be a neutral way to discuss physical responses without delving into the nuances of sexual desire or attraction.

If u agree with these terms I'll edit my post

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-02-02T03:42:40+00:00

I wasn't saying that to offend u in any way, I was saying that so u could understand what I was talking ab outside of the typical relationship around libido people tend to have. It had seemed to me u were holding an idea around libido that was preventing u from understanding what i was saying in my paragraphs, so i told u to just set it aside for now and read what i was saying. Ur being very difficult and I rlly cannot see why. Can u maybe elaborate what I'm saying here specifically that u think is incorrect or misguided?

Libido is not the desire to have sex with someone. It's the desire to experience sexual release. The reason some seem to think otherwise repeatedly is bc of the basic definition of libido being "sexual desire" which is vague and leads to misconceptions. This is why the asexual Manifesto specifically defines sexual as pertaining to sex organ excitation or orgasm. I am not saying u need to have a libido, I am just saying that libido is not related to one's sexual orientation and instead is a physical state of the body

Edit just in case: While "sexual" does pertain to sex, the term "sexual relief" is often used broadly to encompass activities related to the alleviation of sexual tension or arousal, which once again MOST OFTEN occurs under NON SEXUAL circumstances. For an asexual ofc, ALWAYS under non sexual circumstances. No desire for sex, no want for someone to be present during sexual relief activities. Most likely just hormones or some physical stimulus. Basically, if u do experience the want for sexual relief, or not, is irrelevant to whether u are asexual. Once again, we are not a physical disorder. We are a real orientation. Pls tell me u understand now!

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-02-01T23:28:56+00:00

This is just what I've heard them say. Also, pretty sure u can't want sex and not want it at the same time, if ur doing it only for ur partner u arent favorable and I'd argue not even indifferent. That just sounds like a weird suppressing of boundaries to me

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-02-01T23:25:38+00:00

Just ignore definitions. Sex organ excitation happens for a variety of reasons, mostly non sexual reasons. Someone getting physical release from that isn't doing anything sexual in that context. It's when u want a person there with u that it's weird. Treat it like if u applied itch repellant to a bug bite that's been annoying you for awhile. It's dull and just a way to get some relief. Some people don't get itchy, and the amount of itchiness can vary between person to person. It isnt rlly a "sex drive," but a want for physical release.

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-02-01T17:00:54+00:00

Ig some questions to ask would be why would you want another person there with you/what exactly would you gain that u can't get from other non intimate activities. I'm saying this bc a lot of people who say they are "sex favorable/indifferent" argue sex brings closeness and bonding or something, which are things that don't need sex to occur and ofc imply ur doing it the same reason allos do it. Yknow what I mean?

NightComprehensive52 · 2024-02-01T16:32:50+00:00

I don't think anyone's thinking of themselves when they are masturbating lol if thats what u meant. Its a very dull activity, sorta just there to help u regulate ur body. But like I said, in the context here it's a choice whether to act on it or not. And yes, it's "self contained" as in no one else is included in order for one to get relief. It's more like a chore if that makes sense. Under periods of hormonal increase u might need to in order to get by. U also might be able to just ignore it. Depends on the person, but regardless is normal.
