This SR path in its purest sense is about ER, emotional retention. Freeing ourselves from lust, which is the matrix in this world. Or at least the Western culture we are in. Look very carefully and you will see it everywhere.

"I did SR for a month and women are now way more attracted to me." These people are angling for female attention, they are still rooted in the lust game. Everything they are doing is for lust. The whole point of SR is to seriously alter us on a fundamental level is getting off this path because we know where it leads us, low energy, drained, depleted, restless.

It's foolish and unwise to waste your energy and time. There are severe consequences to this. Take SR and ER (emotional retention) with the utmost seriousness.

Always retain, it's a no brainer

Trust the process, keep to the straight path. Even if you walk off it just return to it.

How much weakness and waste has resulted from men being ruled by lust?

Lust destroys masculinity. You cannot be both a man and controlled and driven by lust

Many of us know that SR is much more than what it might seem. It is really about transcending. Becoming better in every way, smarter, healthier, more compassionate and powerful. So we can have better relationships with ourselves, our loved ones, women, the world.

In the group chat we can discuss anything, support each other, share our experiences, perspectives, knowledge. I want to learn something new everyday. Men who are alike need to band together in a world like this.

Let me know if you want to join, drop a comment and if you want tell me something about yourself. I've lately wanted to start lucid dreaming.

Here are some of my recent posts to give you a sense of the mindset I'm in

Being on SR I'd expect a lot of us are getting intrusive thoughts especially lustful thoughts. Important to know that they don't say anything about us, we don't have control over them. Does anyone really know where thoughts come from? Just don't identify or fight them, it's always counterproductive to fight thoughts in my experience.

Think about all of the crazy things men do because of lust:

• Becoming bitter and hateful against women and the world because they don't get attention, scared of being rejected, don't have sex

• Wasting life force masturbating or watching corn (straight up self-harm)

• Simping and taking on a completely false persona just in the hopes of getting female attention

• Getting into dangerous situations or doing deranged things to impress women or because they got cheated on or are jealous

• Sleeping with crazy women who will use them to try and get pregnant or falsely accuse rape

• Dating someone they don't even really like just so they don't feel lonely, even if they're being taken advantage of and used

• Spend all their time daydreaming about a woman that will enter their lives and save them

• Bodybuilding or "looksmaxxing" just to increase their chances of impressing women

• I think for some men almost everything they do is about impressing a woman or increasing their odds of getting with one. Even what kind of job they choose to do.

• Pleading for attention from women like a dog does for food from a human (dopamine slave, drug addict behaviour)

Lust destroys masculinity and makes men weak.

The opposite of the above is being masculine. Having peace, emotional control, not depending on anyone else for our own internal happiness and strength. Being ourselves and having our own confidence.

The algo is based on what you look at the longest, not just what you like or share. Instagram will show you hot chicks or even OF accounts on your feed even if you block them or say you don't want to see that kind of content. Because they knew what hooks men to their site.

Even a lot of the "non-sexual" content is clearly people trying to appease their own lust and craving for attention. Needing all of that attention from strangers isn't healthy.

Instagram just makes this path way harder than it needs to be

Which experiences left the most impression on you? What did you learn and what happened? Have you ever met other entities?

I'll name some of my own:

Low vibrations (watching corn, lusting, masturbating) attract spiritual parasites

We have souls which originate from god

Gnosticism: the world is created by a demiurge, not god

The subconscious motivates a lot of conscious beliefs and values

Men and women are opposites (yin and yang, moon and sun)

I'll name some of my own:

• Low vibrations attract spiritual parasites (watching corn, lusting, masturbating)

• We have souls which originate from god

• Gnosticism: the world is created by a demiurge, not god

• Succubus and incubus cause wet dreams

• The subconscious motivates a lot of conscious beliefs and values

• Men and women are opposites (yin and yang, moon and sun)

• You can have sex without lust or release and it can create energy instead of destroying it

Do you think there are major differences between the masculine and feminine?

Not saying all of these things will affect everyone or are always bad and have no place ever in our lives, but generally speaking this is the list

• eating all the time, especially heavy foods. Some body types don't digest meat well, others do. You have to find out what works for you. Stay away from anything processed of course, and ideally eat organic. Find out which foods are especially contaminated with heavy metals

• Caffeine (very widespread drug, it depletes your minerals and is very harsh on the nervous system)

• mindless scrolling (I think this is basically always terrible for you)

• chronic music playing

• being indoors, looking at screens, no nature, surrounded by electronics

• many kinds of meds can potentially damage your nervous system

• craving female attention

• not sleeping at a consistent bedtime, and not getting enough sleep

• not exercising (makes the body and mind really restless)

• allowing yourself to get bored (find things to excite and interest you)

• if you relapse guilt spiralling and getting caught up in bad feelings instead of just moving on

Feel free to add stuff or let me know if you agree or disagree

You can get into reading and learning about spirituality, learn mathematics, study conspiracy theories, go for walks, meet random new people, exercise and build your body into something beautiful. Everything is elevated and becomes way more interesting when you realise how important life and your own energy is.

Read old books, eat pure whole foods, go for walks and runs, swim, cold showers, yoga and meditation, lucid dreaming. So much stuff to do.

A lot of lust comes from the subconscious mind. If we can become more conscious of our dreams we can deliberately affect what kind of dreams they are and prevent lustful dreams and wet dreams.

As soon as you wake up you have to quickly write down your dream. It's easier to type it up on your laptop.

Once we realise that lusting, edging and ejaculation wastes our life force it becomes obvious that without SR we are just harming ourselves for meaningless pleasure. It is never worth it.

SR is part of a much larger transformation where we build ourselves up internally. Ironically, people who live for others, trying to impress them and capture their attention, only ever attract the wrong types of people into their lives. It's much simpler and honest to work on yourself and who your authentic self, even if it means alienating or disagreeing with people.

One of the reasons they peddle and normalise pornography is to ruin innocence and turn people into sexual slaves.

When someone wastes their life force through lust, edging, masturbation you attract spiritual parasites that feed on your emotions and energies. Like throwing bait into a river full of pirhanas. Some of these parasites can even start manipulating people, especially if their addiction is extreme.

A lot of wet dreams are caused by succubus/incubus

They also want men to see women purely as sexual objects, and ruin what can otherwise be a much more harmonious relationship between us.

People want to deny the spiritual, pretend everything is material or biological and none of this relates to anything higher. We are more than our physical bodies brothers, there is an afterlife.

This is why SR is just the first step brothers. We also have to do ER, emotional retention. Not going crazy and lusting or expecting a girl to come into our lives and make us whole.

A true man has to feel whole himself, he cannot depend on a woman for this. He has to be balanced and stable, not desperate.

Desperation is a low level of consciousness. Transcending the need for attention from women or approval from men. Not turning to bitterness and resentment. Not having any lust. Feeling yourself to already be whole and complete. These are the true rewards brothers. SR is just the first step.

Sometimes you see people talking about how they feel like superman after 30 days of SR. Maybe they are telling the truth or they are just expecting to feel good and that influences how they actually feel, or they are overselling it to get attention.

If you've been releasing for a long time you will not have a good relationship with your body. Your body might be in a bad, chronic fight or flight state but youre not really aware of this.

Sometimes doing SR can even feel bad, similar to how alcoholics get sick when they stop drinking alcohol.

The point I am making is that you have to power through this period, defeat lust and preserve your life force because healing can be a painful process or it might not seem necessary to do SR but you have to ignore how you feel sometimes
