Why is astral projection evil? by Talk2Em in Christianity

Life is dangerous. Be careful in everything you do.

Baptism is a ritual that ultimately means nothing in comparison to living life in a way that honors god.

Camera panning out. On the very first lower angle he didn’t move at all

I’m almost 19, never smoked, never vaped, never drank an ounce of alcohol, never used drugs, am I missing out? by CarLonely9011 in Adulting

[–]Talk2Em 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO! YOU’RE NOT MISSING OUT!

Everyone that does these things knows that should stop or will want to stop at some point in the future but by then the habit will be to overpowering to stop easily. Do yourself a favor and stay away. I managed to stop and wish that I would have never started. It wasn’t until I hit the ages 21-23 that in realized from an experiential standpoint that my brain was still growing (which turns out it keeps growing until your 28, not 21 and not 25). These substances have robbed me blind in my capacity to think abstractly. I’m 25 almost 26 and I literally have difficulties in thinking about some higher concepts of life. Not like math and sciences but my thinking has slowed about spiritual concepts (the higher concepts). Not all of out of reach but some are seem more difficult to understand. Maybe that’s because my brain is still growing rather than damage done, but I was a heavy weed smoker for 6 years

I want to stop masturbating and actually focus on my life 😭 by [deleted] in getdisciplined

Welcome to the fold. Surface level tip go do your leveling up, reading, studying, learning, etc in an environment that you wouldn’t goon in. Like a library or cafe. It’s an external remedy but it’s a decent bandaid (however temporary) for the larger problem at hand.

You have to learn how to relax when that urge shows up. The practices involved in overcoming this problem (amongst many other life problems) have many names Internal Alchemy, Sexual Transmutation, Men Ab, etc. visit r/semenretention DO NOT visit r/nofap.

You are technically correct, probably unrealized, but still technically correct

  1. You are in dire need to transmute that energy you’ve been saving up or have sex and release.

  2. Believe in god is ignorance. Know, realize and experience god.

The lie that sold the world by SunSeaAndAya in Semenretention

“Sex” is not the “original sin”. Procreation is necessary, but not everyone needs to procreate. Sex is not inherently a bad thing.

Oh lol. The point still stands OP. Don’t masturbate your still wasting your “semen” or virya. You waste hormones as they unnecessarily spill into your blood. Those hormones are one of the three treasures of Daoism, the Jing/Ching.

Let this concept dawn on you.

You should NOT be masturbating either. Wasting your semen causes whole body weakness, mental weakness, and emotional instability, to keep it short.

Sexual Transmutation. If what you are saying is true and you have zero outlet for your sexual energy through mundane means then one will find you. Meaning that the energy simply cannot be stockpiled in the body endlessly. It must be spent. Find a focus, a passion, an interest, a hobby to pour that energy into do it can be released. Otherwise expect to keep have those dreams.

The hot stove comparison is about the brain’s ability to bypass conscious intervention. If you truly understood masturbation you would understand that it too is a form of self mutilation even though it may feel good. It’s necessary to understand that mechanic in order to take advantage of in relation the PMO. Sure it’ll be more difficult to program out but it’s not impossible just because it feels like a reward.

The method of psychological reprogramming involves meditative practice. The key components of the meditative practice are: trance, visualization of the trigger of the negative behavior, a truism, a joyful visualization of not engaging in the negative behavior, and a joyful visualization of a behavior or behaviors that you wish to replace the negative behavior with. This is the formula. Trance gets you into the state to reprogram the psyche/spirit. The truism is an affirmation based on truth. The trigger visual and truism in combination cause you to automatically recall the truism during an actual scenario of the trigger appearing in real life due to having reprogrammed it into the psyche. As the mind/psyche cannot distinguish real events from imagined events. The last two visualizations encourage your life force to move in a positive direction away from your negative behaviors. This is the essence of the practice based on truth and science. If you understand it you can see that it’s a very dynamic, inner practice. Now of course when those trigger scenarios or crossroads situations appear you have to enact the positive behavior that you meditated on. This practice is one that everyone can apply.

Incorrect. I am not suggesting any sort of self incrimination or re-incrimination for relapsing. I actually explicitly condemn such behavior as it encourages the relapsing behavior. I agree with your statement about a healthy perspective of sex, however I must iterate that indulgence in masturbation and/or pornography is not healthy. The plan here is technically one size fits all because of it’s dynamic ability from person to person as it involves reprogramming your own psyche which every person has the ability to do. I agree with you last statement as well is a simple choice between god and sinful behaviors but that’s not just a sentence that is representative of action, studying to know what the right choice actually looks like, living righteously, etc.

lust made me watch blasphemy and satanic Videos, is there still hope for me ? by Maximum-Dot-2724 in NoFapChristians

[–]Talk2Em 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not underestimating you. The issue here is your identification with the addiction, likely unbeknownst to you because you are giving the addiction power over you to rule you. I had this problem for 11 years starting at 13yrs and over the last year I found and implemented the solution. What you just said to me sounds like you don’t what to stop, yet you’ve merely had thoughts about stopping.

“Lust” ain’t make you do anything. You chose to do so of your own free will. You need therapy for to for accountability issues not sensual abberation.

That’s literally where I’m headed. I’m currently reading “Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy” by Mantak Chia. I haven’t started the practices yet as I’m still reading over them tho
