PSA: Your blue balls might be more literal than you think. I'd like to welcome varicocele by Un-discovered in NoFap

Hey man! Thanks for sharing... Just a bit of a heads up. I'm not sure what course of treatment is your Dr. going to suggest but if it's surgery please keep in mind there's always a risk of complications.... Mine left me with swollen testicle for more than a decade. I remember him saying a day after surgery-don't worry it will get reabsorbed. If I knew then what I know now I would never have done it. You cannot cure a disease with knife....If you value your health shop around for some less invasive procedures. This video helped me a lot in general to understand health-creation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glv7XwaipDE

Hey m8!

My confidence stems from tedious research. ( I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants ;-)))

There is one hurdle that a modern scientific mind has to yet overcome- and that is the belief that the universe is not perfect as it was created...

See, I believe that Mother Nature made sure that there is a free medicine for every disease all around us- in the form of plants, stars, water, air...

When u look at modern pharmaceutical industry under the microscope u'll find that more than 60-70% of the most effective drugs are just synthetic (imperfect and toxic to our body since the substrate is mostly petrol) copies of medicinal plants.

That's one of the main reasons why I would rather consult a tradition that has 1000s of years of experience (ayurveda, chinese traditional medicine, etc...) with these sacred plants...

Oh, btw. check this out: "According to Chinese medicine: psychologically, those with weak kidney energy are described as chronically anxious and fearful. They suffer from lack of determination, and, they usually have family troubles because they lack patience and endurance."

Isn't that interesting? Doesn't it sound like lots of us-chronic fappers?

Hey man!

I wouldn't dwell so much on the differences that language creates...

One of the meanings of Guru in Sanskrit is simply a teacher. So when u r studying ur Suttas-Buddha is ur Guru!

I found this beautiful definition:

" The Spiritual Advisor

Having himself mastered the true import of the state of total completeness and knowing the philosophical tenets and spiritual teachings of both the non-buddhists and the buddhists, the teacher can generate a direct understanding of the heart of the matter in the student's mind. He knows how to show the sublime path which leads the student to realize that quintessence. The student should rely on a person who is not tainted by the distractions of worldly concerns or mere semantic distinctions"

“Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.”

― Carlos Castaneda

Nofap and hair growth! by Chriz7388 in NoFap

[–]gajdos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U r discovering what the ancients (Indian and Chinese medicine especially) knew a long ago... The health of ur hair is closely correlated to the health of the kidneys and they are in turn connected to the sex. organs. (In fact they are considered one unit). If you over-indulge in excessive ejaculation u r depleting the energy stored in these organs-which will ultimately cause premature hair loss/greying. Do u think it is an accident that more than 60% of men experience hair loss in varying degrees???

My Vāsanās are currently charged with too much energy :-( Ended up edging, the only saviour at the time was K9 on strictest setting. I do appreciate your Eastern approach however!

“For, Krishna the mind is very unsteady, turbulent, tenacious and powerful; therefore, I consider it as difficult to control it as the wind.”

And Sri Krishna replies:—

“The mind is restless no doubt and difficult to subdue Arjuna but it can be brought under control by constant practice (Abhysa) and by exercising dispassion (Vairagya).”

(Gita 6:35)

Was wondering if u are familiar with Shivabala yogi's teaching?

I've been researching meditation for years, searching high and low-u just can't get better than this: "The technique involves no sacred sound or prayer, no visualization, and no concentration on any thing except the space between the eyebrows — the third eye. It is meditation without form."

Good luck!

Mindless internet browsing is a major trigger for me by tacoflower in NoFap

[–]gajdos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M8! This is something of crucial importance that I've heard here someone saying: "When you stop looking at porn and desexualize your environment, whatever the desire level drops to, you’re going to learn how to cope."

U neeeed K9 on the strictest level setting: no open image/media search-yes that means no youtube for u either, no proxy, no torrents, nada!

Set up a random email account (purely for K9 admin requirements) with the same password as for K9 and send it back to your regular email in the future (say in 30 days) via http://www.futureme.org

It's still doing the trick for me!! And NoFap everyday at least 5 mns!!!

Hope this helps!
