I've experienced astronomic growth in creative expression this previous year, in large part thanks to breaking out of addiction. The joy of creativity is now more potent fuel than the craving. Stay disciplined, but focus on the aspects you WANT. Deprive the siphons of your attention, starve them by feeding your purposeful endeavors. I appreciate your perspective of focusing on the minutae of these energy siphons.
Currently experiencing that and if I wasnt experiencing it, I wouldnt know how much of it to believe. But it is indeed very foolish to underestimate these things.
I have 40 acres off grid in Arizona. I'm working on turning it into a fully self sufficient property with greenhouses,chickens the whole nine. I've been a personal trainer for 20 years and a meditation practitioner for about 10. I will be running retreats for men who are going down the spiritual path. I look forward to us working together in the future!
This is soo good, love your well-rounded and integrated perspectives. I have to realise again and again how even just dwelling in sexual fantasy (without physical edging) syphons energy from a man in massive ways. And then on the other hand you also don't want to supress your sexual energy, which will lead to energetic stagnation. Sexual transmutation & integration is an art form really.
Do you mind sharing what you have so far found to be the most effective way to transmute sexual energy abd safeguard yourself from fwlling off the cliff especially during peak times?
I just want to understand this clearly..so even thinking about a women in having sex with her is not good to our energy? Is it still the same as releasing?
@@DJV94022 no it's not bad or wrong, I'd say it's even natural to a degree. But ultimately sex happens through the body and not through the mind. By exessive dwelling in fantasy you condition yourself to a very limited expression of sex which is purely lust-focused, which is where you'll lose energy as long as it's not also integrated on a heart-level. Without heart you basically "burn" up your essence in the one-sided experience of lust. And to be a little more esoteric: this realm is of a fundamentally parasitic nature, sexuality has been severely distorted in such a way that you'll lose energy when you get lost in lust. Heart-integration pevents that from happening since your heart is the portal to wholeness and your soul. It's only when we cut ourselves off in the lower centers where we start to experience energy-leaks. And btw there's also nothing wrong with lust per se, it's the one-sidedness that will pull you into a downward spiral if left unchecked.
@@DJV94022 no it's alright to do that :) but there's a fine line between allowing your sexual energy to express in your thoughts and exessively dwelling in fantasy. in your fantasies you are likely focused on the fire (lust) aspect of sex which is where you "burn" up your essence if left disconnected from the heart for too long. optimally, you always let your sexual energy flow back up into your heart, this is how you start experiencing true sexual nourishment. also, sex happens through the body and not through the mind, so with fantasy you condition yourself away from what's natural. If I abstain more from fantasy I always start to feel way more confident and mentally/emotionally/spiritually strong.
Just throwing this out there for what it's worth to others, but lately I've been going month-on/month-off with the carnivore diet & must say, ketosis/a fasted state pairs wonderfully with the retention journey ... Inflammation vanishes & my 'energetic sensitivity' comes back online bigly ... Just simply not being inflamed removes a layer of irritability that would otherwise contribute to pushing me in the direction of escape/relief (porn/masterbation) ... There are a lot of ways to fast (re-wild), carnivore is just what I'm currently experimenting with
SPIRITUAL IDEOLOGY One challenge that I’ve come across as I increase in my awareness of myself and the culture around me is that a lot of people tend to regurgitate ideological catch phrases in order to terminate deep thought when it comes to thinking about uncomfortable topics. Some examples of this are thinking that sexualilty is a destructive force that must be restrained, that we are imbued with abilities to bypass skill development curves across the self-development board through sexual abstinence, that the best thing for an individual to do is to align with 'universal' principles like Stoicism, that fail to affirm one's individuality, and other counterintuitive and unverifiable statements that are quite dangerous to intellectual rigor. I think that some of the things that people have said in the spiritual community align with those spiritual ideologies that make light of the deeply existential. Have you ever experienced an aversion to the spiritually ideological, and what did you learn from your experiences?
Yeah absolutely. After my yoga and meditation phase and seeing the delusions in the spirituality scene I became rebellious against anything floaty or wishy washy. But that ended up hurting my growth as there is no need to become adversary. Just keep aligning to the higher.
@@justinkshears good observation. I'd say there's a difference between becoming adversary and ultimately referring to your own discretion. SR is a tool, but people make it into an identity. I think a lot of it is overblown; its sad to see dudes using celibacy as the answer to the problem of women being un-attainable. It can become like a form of productive procrastination and it can lead to an aversion to one's own sexual expression. My 2c
I was curious if the purposes connection with your partner through tantric exercises do you get to the point where you release and as you do focusing on a intention or is it just no release pull the energy higher because I feel like for myself it causes higher levels of aggression and emotional outbursts ie anger discontentment with life and sadness which of course I funnel into workouts but when your tired after all the work you do what then?. When I don't have the release but then, I lose my energy. What's your opinion on when to release and when to retain, it's a issue I've faced for a while.
@@basquait2704 hey man. It's different for everyone and differs for me depending on stress levels and many other factors. When I was making love 5-10 times per week with a partner I might have still ejaculated once a week as I was running too hot. But when I'm solo 3-4 weeks feels right. It's a continual process of just being honest with yourself and navigating it as you go with a playfulness so you don't become too rigid and fixated. The books say that around the 3-4 week mark at our age but everyone is different. And we are different each month depending on circumstances
@@justinkshears thank you for finally asking this question, it's like every other person I've asked just flairs up about it or refuses to answer it, becuase they don't actually know that themself.
@@basquait2704 No worries. People like to act as professionals so when they don't have an exact answer it triggers them. There is no exact answer for most things. But the masculine mind wants one. Take the pressure off yourself and be more playful with it. 👊🙏
"Avoid the low hanging fruit" is such a great advice, even more in this time and age, when low hanging fruit is the order of the day
