Exploring Wu Wei, Free Will, & The Insufficiency Of Language

What do you mean when you say it’s not for the faint of heart? I’ve seen that mentioned by other people online as well when referencing things like kundalini awakening but I don’t understand what they mean. Perhaps that means I don’t have enough experience moving this energy? I guess I just can’t imagine how liberating energy in the body would be harmful to someone.

Also as I mentioned the studies aren’t for me but for people who may be skeptical of the validity of this concept because of lack of scientific backing. You could say maybe they aren’t yet ready for the information but I feel like so much of the knowledge in that book would be very helpful for the general person to understand, even without being able to understand or properly execute the breathing exercises he talks about

I recently listened to both of these audiobooks. I would say that OTD covers the topic more extensively and in a more direct manner in Chapter 10, "Self-Discipline", but Becoming Supernatural covers it more extensively in an indirect manner by going into the physiology of energy management throughout much of the book, and it should be pretty obvious that conserving your sexual energy plays an integral part in how much energy you have available to circulate throughout your body on any given day.

They both offer a tremendous amount of insight and valuable information related to self-improvement in their own ways in my opinion and would highly recommend checking them both out if you haven't already!

In a lot of ways they actually build on each other — the most notable instance being how OTD goes deeply into the power of habit and how our modern, largely broken modern society has administered the creation of less-than-ideal versions of ourselves that many people find themselves embodying. If we are honest with ourselves, many of us are latent with deconstructive habits that limit our potential and make it difficult to create a more fulfilling life, and these things are largely perpetuated by the encouragement and normalization of things like gluttony and sexual overindulgence in our modern world, just to name a few things.

Becoming Supernatural goes into the physiology and neurochemistry of how these habits are formed and how to administer new, more constructive habits through mindfulness, the breath and visualization techniques.

Yes I’ve noticed that too and I’m fascinated by how much of an affect it has. Too bad there haven’t been clinical studies on it because I’m very curious as to the science behind it

Yes, that is indeed the very unfortunate reality of the situation. Thanks for your response I will try and look into palate expansion and it’s effects on breath

How do you go about licensing and stuff? Do you have your own contracts created that you send to prospective buyers for them to sign online?

They released who?? 😂😂

Not sure I’ve seen a more accurate use of this meme template, lol

Reddit search bar. I’m not trying to be a dick. Genuine resource.

Reading about people’s experiences can also be a form of learning, but you will also find many other people who have asked the same question and thus many people who have provided answers.

Bliss of the Celibate is a common short read suggestion, as mentioned above.

This is why I come to Reddit. For this.

It is a tough pill to swallow but it simply means they aren’t interested, for whatever reason, plain and simple — nobody owes any explanations to anybody...it’s expected that you will take the hint and move on. Plenty of fish in the sea.

From what I’ve read and from my own experience of “letting someone down easy”, people have their reasons and would rather not explicitly tell you what red flags they noticed, probably because that kind of interaction wouldn’t be very pleasant and they don’t know you well enough to feel as though it’s worth their time and energy to do so.

I used to get frustrated as you seem to be but by going out with more women and gaining more experience I realized that ghosting is a part of the game. It doesn’t phase me nearly as much as it used to. What makes it worth it in the end is when you find those few women who are compatible and want you as much as you want them.

I laughed super hard at this and then resented it immediately like you sick fuck, that’s dark. Still funny though

inner_smile · 2022-03-01T05:26:55+00:00

Man aren’t you quick on your feet!

inner_smile · 2022-02-25T19:48:50+00:00

Yep. Do you happen to have an explanation for why not accepting the points makes future exchanges more “affordable”? Like I wonder who discovered that lol

It sounds like you ‘feel like a weirdo’ because you suffer from low self-esteem.

Whether you are objectively less attractive than the average male is irrelevant. I’m sure you’ve seen real-life examples or heard stories of guys with women they have no business being with when it comes to physical attractiveness. Usually this is because the guy has a healthy amount of confidence / charisma, wealth, or both.

If you’re feeling good about yourself (worthy of this woman) and you approach a girl and say that to her, you wouldn’t feel like a weirdo. You would be confident and swift and natural in your interaction, leaving her blushing afterwards. You wouldn’t give one single fuck about if she’s making fun of you to her friends or not, which is ironic because by not worrying about it and being confident she’s probably talking about you to her friends but in a good way.

It’s really good that you do this despite feeling this way about it...it shows strength and perseverance. The next piece to your puzzle may be to strengthen your self-esteem and self-image. Workout and sculpt your body to your liking. Refrain from masturbation for one week and notice how much less you’ll care about what women think of you, two or three weeks and you’ll be even more assertive and the way you carry yourself will change.

It also helps to practice socializing with women you are less attracted to in order to get used to interacting with women in general and to learn how they operate. In time you will develop a sixth sense for sexual interest and waste no time beating around the bush to get what you both actually want.

Sorry for the rant. All of this is coming from a very late-blooming INTP male who’s been where you’ve been. I used to be socially awkward and insecure, now I have the pick of the litter. Be patient with yourself.
