that's the quote 10:26 "When you renounce nature you find that she takes an interest in you. When you renounce her a little more, she begins to chase you. And when you finally don't care for her at all, she becomes your slave." - Paraphrased, from "The Yogas" by Swami Vivekananda
I’m about 90+ days in and I found about this on accident. This does make you go inward which it will take time to get use to (makes you face yourself) because you neglected yourself by giving your self away so easily. Listen it took time to create this current state so give time and nature some respect and let is work for you (stay out the way). The only way to be successful is to make it a lifestyle.
I like what you said beginning at 6:47 about making your declaration to forgo sexual pleasure. When a man makes the momentous decision to renounce his pursuit of orgasm and to extinguish the experience, he liberates and opens himself up for many great blessings. I'm so enthusiastic about it, myself, because I believe that semen retention is both a calling and a gift and that sacrifices willingly made for God will not go unrewarded. Since I first discovered masturbation at 12 and awakened the desire for continuing release, I've been strongly intrigued by a parallel desire to let go of that part of my life for good, and I'm very grateful to have finally achieved it nearly 3½ years ago.
It's always a pleasure to remind those that have been on this practice for so long why we do what we do. Thanks for inspiring us and always being supportive Mike. Respect on your disciplined lifestyle of over 3 years brother.
@@naturesunderground7106 Likewise, bro! You're one of the most eloquent spokesmen that we have for this lifestyle, and it's a wonderful blessing that you're back.
If women look at me and I see clearly a sign that they have a intention with me, then I wait until they come to me and start talking to me, because for a woman it is very important she feels save in thou presence 😃
140 days celibate now, such a profoundly powerful practice. Your videos have inspired me along the way. Women attraction and animal magnetism are very real. I got a girlfriend but I’m in no hurry to have sex, I will use discernment to actually get to know this woman and decide if she is worth my seed. Namaste 🙏🏼
It's so good to have you back bro. My favorite account of anyone overcoming of lust in history is that of Joseph the son of Jacob. He ran from lust as if it was some hunter that was out to get him. In the same way, we should let go of the slightest bit of interest in these worldly things and run away from them. Also, I believe that everything we need in life is actually within us and we're not even conscious of it because of the tendency of the mind to be fixed outward on our surroundings and to be decieved by the sense of lack, the sense of being a victim to life, and the sense of being an outsider. I have found that just as you said, when you operate from the position of abundance as if you already have everything that you need, not seeking out of necessity anything outside of yourself to fulfill you, then that's when things start to fall into place and happen in your favor. It's as if the sense of urgency and attachment to our desired outcomes and expectations actually holds us back from achieving the things we want and causes constant suffering, when in reality letting go is the ultimate solution. This is what resonates with me when I look at the Bible verse about how man was not created for the sabbath, but the sabbath for man. It's like being a child and knowing that no doubt all of your needs are already met and just being grateful, because gratitude is our security. I recommend the book Letting Go by David R. Hawkins for anyone who wants to experience steady peace by letting go of the constant friction in our lives happening as a result of things like desires, expectations, attachments, obsessions, and urgency. I would also recommend setting aside just a few minutes here and there throughout your day to completely let go of everything mentally and intellectually. Only quietly observe whatever may come up as if it is traffic passing by without criticizing it. Realize that most of this traffic is the cause of all our problems in life. I wish you all well!
@@naturesunderground7106 You're welcome bud! Meditation and self love is the way to go. Sometimes I just wanna be like a child again when I didn't even know about sexual pleasure. There's so much more to life than just that one thing, you know?
@@naturesunderground7106 The account of Joseph's victory over lust is found in Genesis chapter 39. It cost him a prison sentence, but how God used that to make him prime minister of Egypt is covered in the next two chapters.
That's a good sign in my opinion. Self questioning is just you in need of a good talk with your higher self / God. Keep seeking and you will find brother.
You are so inspiring! As i got infected with covid this week I was about to lose my mind not feeling well overall. Thanks to your motivating word, I see this now as an absolutely amazing opportunity to go within myself and connect with myself again! With you coming back I can feel how my, sadly lost, higher self comes back to me! Thanks fam, much love and peace!
My man, you did not lose a beat! Showing up with the heat again. On this one your words were a constant yoink to my earlobe. Made me clearly see how I have been mentally in the gutter lately- retained but sorta coastin you know? dangerous state to be in that’s how the gains get snatched by a strong passing wind. A three day fast should reactivate and put monk mode in turbo again. Happy you’re back brodda I feel stronger alongside
Beautiful to hear that something I said or you felt was enough to push you to wake up. The funks we find ourselves in can be hard to get out of.. but it's always a single decision away to choose to be better. You got this bro 👑🔥
I am without a doubt so glad to see that you are back. I was just wondering about this a couple days ago too. This video honestly was just pure wisdom. It hit so hard that I had to see it twice to take notes. Keep pushing and persevering man, much love.
Thank you brother. It's good to hear that you're taking your own self improvement so seriously. Keep going, so much to learn alongside this practice :)
You are the best man, your advice keeps me going with my busy life. Good to see you back and seeing you struggle for a while shows we are all human and struggle. Best of luck with everything and keep moving forward positively
I just passed 30 days of hard mode. Continuing on. I don't know what it was about, but a nice looking woman smiled and said hello to me today as she passed me. Other men seem to sense that I mean business in whatever I'm doing and they don't trifle with me. I just feel more comfortable in my own skin. I feel a lot calmer (for the most part), but can still blow up at things that piss me off. I guess I have to work on that part.
You have really changed my life bro in motivating and inspiring to become best version of myself... thanks for being there...just one question bro, if i stop looking at females at office or gym, won't they think that I am arrogant and avoiding or ignoring them purposely, am confused bro, please advise bro...much love ❤️❤️
Don't know man...I felled like shit after 3 months.Very dark thoughts for a month.The benefits came after the first week but after the first month I felled a constant tension and was not able to release my stress or transmute my energy...I came to the conclusion that we all are different and sex is inevitable for us as men.We cannot fight the urge for too long and I am convinced it's pretty unhealthy to suppress one of the most important insticts which helped us to survive as a species. Balance is the key and I am sure everyone will fail on this nofap journey sooner or later...I wish you the best brother and I am really glad you are back...
Bro, i didn't get any attention though i have passed 100+ day retention. Give me some advice!!!! Don't get me wrong!!! Getting attention is not my priority, but as a benefit i would like to have it.
bro you have to work on yourself physically, how you dress your skin care your teeth.. retention within itself is not something magical if you aren’t working on other areas.
@@fazleyrabbey7796 Waiting for what? Keep going. I cannot specifically get you an answer as I was already getting women before retention but I was a mess, a zombie. Keep going, keep going. You will be rewarded.
Not exactly. In the western part of US. Yes, I get attention. In Toronto side I don’t get the same response even though I am on NoFap. Some girls are interested in me. Only the Indian women in Canada act aloof towards me. Probably because I am eating out on vacation. Not sure I have been on NoFap for 5 years. I am only doing this for my health and well being ands self confidence not for women
man this so key words putting some gems thanks for ur wisdome i suggest u to read about ISLAM and THE QURAN i am sure that it will goes with your pure soul thanks have a great life
