Most men live with undeveloped brains.
Most men also live and die without ever knowing what it means to be and feel enchanted.
How many times, or how often - in your modern living - have you seen the nakedness of a woman on the backdrop of nature's green?
That image alone is stronger than any drug or hallucinogen, and it must be spoon-fed to the imagination - as much as one is able.
But modern living does not support such settings, it makes the most simple and powerful magic inaccessible for the modern male.
That's why most men today are disconnected from the magical and the intuitive. They live with one eye blind. Their hearts are calcified and are turned towards the apathetic easily. Their manhood is locked away behind logical and stringent law and rule-following.
Something very ancient and dormant activates in the male psyche once nature and the feminine come together this way.
It develops a part of the brain that is accessed by the psychic and the shaman alike. Its sacredness is exactly in this effect.
You cannot replicate this in a bedroom. And certainly not through debasing yourself with lust.
The appreciation for beauty and its invitation into your life is stronger and greater than lust. Lust implies deficit, a need that cannot be fulfilled - while nakedness is openness itself, it implies availability, access, an open portal.
And it takes wisdom to understand that simply sexualizing every act of nakedness takes away from what its actual power is.
Nakedness, sexual favors and the act of sexual intercourse in themselves are very different and distinct things, though the modern interpretation of these ideas are muddied up and bunched up together deliberately and on purpose.
Sexual favors that do not involve penetration are harmless, viewing and looking is abundant and is also harmless - yet nowadays mankind seems convinced that the simple act of looking and beholding another's beauty is problematic.
On the other hand, sexual intercourse can be very harmful - if misused, exploited, practiced in unrestrained manners - yet it is presented to the modern youth as something insignificant, casual, etc.
The sight of a woman clad only in herself develops sacred neural pathways. Nature both glorifies and gladdens this effect - where there is secrecy and beauty, lust is removed from the equation. Lust cannot possibly grow there.
What pornography has done is that it quietly moved nature out of the sexual. It transported the sexual act into the bedroom, removed from its activating element - which is nature.
That is why sex is now taboo and restricted to the darkness of the bedroom, where it is disempowered and removed from its magical component.
Nature must stand witness to the sacred act for its mystical qualities to activate. Nature itself is pornography, and good pornography has existed as long as nature has. Man and woman - two equals in the sacred harmony of nature.
For the virtuous man, a woman grants the gift of her nakedness willingly. This fact alone changes his inner chemistry, enhances his temperament, upgrades his aptitude for the magical, establishes his status as a sacred and loyal protector, wins and begets the many blessings of the Earth.
Even animals will respond to him kindly.
When you enter a woman, you enter the mind-state she has given you. If you enter a woman with lust in your mind, the portal of her womb will take you to that place of lust - and will increase your hunger.
Foreplay here, as in that which precedes the sexual act, is far more important than the act itself. While the act is culmination, whatever precedes it is the formation of the psychic faculty, the mental state that the man wishes to enter.
The sexual act can only truly be culminated if that mental state is achieved and maintained throughout the process of sacred exchange.
When a man penetrates and enters a woman with ill intent or deceptive ideas, those ideas possess his thoughts and spirit - and those same ideas, through the formation of the sexual portal, accumulate and siphon forces and energies into his vessel from the unseen realms. Therefore, violating a woman is, in truth, violating your own spirit.
This is why the act of sexual penetration (intercourse) is dangerous, especially to the foolish and the spiritually inept.
One look at the face of the modern male and I can tell whether he has spent his life stealing from the beauty of women with his shameful and lustful glances or has been beholden to a woman's essence shamelessly and without guilt.
It really is that easy to tell.

If you lose connection with yourself & your nervous systems hardens with you stuck outside of it
The question simply becomes “when are you going to force your way back in?”
Jump INTO the path, tell yourself there IS no shortcut - and as you walk your way, your essence will force it’s way back into its rightful home - letting go of all the lagging threads of misalignment that you currently think will be with you forever
Divine design never misses

How to beat porn addiction:
The core issue is that your libidinal energy is trapped in the lower energy centers, preventing it from being channeled into higher forms of expression: physical, emotional, relational, creative, and spiritual.
The libido energy, like all parts of us - conscious or unconscious, still seeks expression, and so it continually discharges itself through compulsive porn use.
1. Understand why the energy is trapped
When unresolved emotions become associated with sexuality (shame, guilt, fear, rejection, and inadequacy etc.), the natural movement of libidinal energy gets trapped.
The libido can't be harnessed as a creative, spiritual, life-force energy, and so is instead trapped in unconscious behaviors.
For example, you may consciously desire mastery of your urges while unconsciously carrying shame around your sexual impulses. This creates an internal conflict and causes further fragmentation: one part of you seeks expression, while another condemns it.
The sexual energy then becomes trapped in this fragmentation. The dual ends of the fragmentation - the natural impulse to express, and the ego's judgement of its expression - perpetuate the loop. Each side fights itself so consciousness (the center) can never be attained.
2. Recognize how the ego reinforces the cycle
The ego attempts to control the libido (read: avoid processing the emotional content that has attached to it) through suppression and resistance.
But the unconscious emotional material continues to exist, building tension in the ego-body. This leads to a total loss of aliveness, embodied joy, and life force energy, because the energy is being pushed down instead of transmuted. Eventually, the accumulated tension will hit a point of no return, and the repressed energy will explode outwards in a compulsion.
This is the cycle of the porn user who tries to quit with willpower. It always fails because the underlying need isn't being met, and so the body eventually disposes of the energy in the safest (most programmed) way: through porn.
The cycle:
Unprocessed emotions → Energetic contraction → Accumulated sexual tension → Compulsive pornography use → Temporary release → Shame and guilt → Further contraction.
The shame that follows porn use reinforces the repressed emotions that continue the cycle of avoidance, then explosion.
3. Stop trying to suppress or discharge the energy
The solution is neither repression nor compulsive release. It is learning to contain the sexual energy while staying embodied, and consciously choosing how you want to use the energy.
When sexual urges arise, bring your awareness into the body. Notice the sensations in the pelvis, lower abdomen, etc., and observe where the energy feels somatically contracted.
Then just stay with the raw sensations and notice what emotions arise with them. As you process these emotions, the sexual energy will integrate into your conscious awareness, and you will learn to channel it with your will instead of being horny all the time and compulsively cycling through avoidance and shame.
4. Allow the libido to move into the higher centers
As the unconscious emotional material is felt, the libido becomes less bound to lower expressions. The goal is simply to rein it in by processing all of the unconscious emotions that have been attached to it.
"Discipline" will never work here because discipline is founded on repression and self-betrayal. If the energy can't flow, it can't be consciously expressed. Discipline is an avoidance of the actual emotions attached to the addiction you are trying to strong-arm yourself out of. You are signaling to the ego-mind that the parts of you attached to the addiction are bad, unsafe, and shouldn't be expressed, so they continue to hide and reinforce your addiction.
TL;DR: You must accept the part of you that is addicted to porn, instead of hating and running from it.

Hey @grok, some years ago 43 students in Mexico vanished out of the blue all together without leaving any trace.
international investigators challenging the narrative account were suddenly targeted with Pegasus spyware from Israel.
Even the missing students’ parents and lawyers appeared on the list of Israel’s spyware targets.
Then came another disturbing revelation.
Mexico’s former chief investigator, accused of manipulating evidence in the case, fled to Israel.
Mexico never managed to extradite him and they accused Israel of effectively protecting him.

Ideas are so powerful.
If I gave you the right words for you, I could probably help you make a couple million dollars down the line.
And I will.
But not because the metric for the value of words is how well they translate into financial winnings but just to simply showcase the usefulness of the proper perspective and how much it matters for success and personal advancement.
The words are these:
"The moment you understand that your destiny and your highest potential are the same exact thing, is also the moment you understand what in this world belongs to you, what you need to do to claim it, and what you need to be focusing your energy on every single day."
If you really dive into these words, you will find a simple key truth that has the capacity to completely transform your life and how you view your journey in this world.
It is why we say that one must *claim* their destiny as something that already belongs to them.
Your highest potential (and you know exactly what that is) belongs to you. No one can take it away from you. You know, deep down, what you are capable of. You know what to reach for because its potential lives inside of you.
The question of finding your destiny then is simply answered by taking the journey one needs to get there. And that journey is different for every single one of us.
"How can I unfurl my full, maximum potential?"
"What is keeping me from achieving my goals?"
"What inner blockages have I created to stop seeking my best self and, ultimately, unlocking my destiny?"
Now the difference between destiny and fate is also outlined here.
Destiny is what you know to be yours - it is something you pursue, fate is the wisdom you come to know on the way there.
Destiny is played out by action.
Fate is played out on the destined path.

"What benefit is there to being a fair and virtuous person in a sick and unfair world?"
Not tragic to ask this question as a young man, especially if it's removed from the context of spirituality. Strictly speaking - in a pragmatic and material sense.
You can be Machiavellian about it. You can be a snake. You can win unfairly. You can lie yourself into success. You can win at any cost. You can be brutal and unforgiving. You can be merciless in your pursuit of personal gain. You can trample the dreams of others to achieve your own. You can strongarm others into serving your interests.
You can do all these things. They are readily available and very much real, and very much an option.
Those are all benefits gained from playing the game and not being played by it.
But the benefit lost is the table you don't get to sit on.
And that's the table where all truly great men find themselves. Among other truly great men. Because morality is very much an elitist thing, it has the highest standards. Respect is easily lost and so is trust, and so is loyalty and friendship.
Make no mistake, you will win if you are without morals. You will win easier and more often.
Life will come easy to you.
But you will always celebrate alone.
You will live in a pit of snakes, always.
Your circle will be comprised of others just like you, or worse.
There's no roundtable to be had in that circle. There is only one chair and everyone wants to sit.
That will be the price of your ways.
Your seat at the table.

It did brother, for the longest time. Will answer like this because it's a long post, hope you won't mind.
Back in my youth, and keep in mind - where I'm from is the second oldest Christian country on the planet, I had a lot of rebellion towards the church & institution - parts of it were infiltrated, taken over, corrupted by the KGB and anti-religious sentiment was at an all-time high.
Most undercover criminals would go into a life of monkhood to avoid consequences for crimes, etc. They were not good people.
My mind was made up that the Chruch was spoiled.
You weren't allowed to go to church, only in secrecy. They were burnt, razed, defaced, demolished by the communists (most of which were what we'd now refer to as jews).
Very much like the radical zionist jews of today, which are but a small exiled portion of the many tribes of biblical Israel, whose name they promptly now stole.
But I've also been exposed to a more secretive side of Christianity most people in the west are probably not exposed to. There's a far richer Christian mythos and inheritance here than in the west.
And when I spoke with the black monks here (who live in exile in remote mountainous areas), the picture was different.
The twin mystical orders of Black George & White George take root here too (and other secretive orders I will not name). This is why mystics like Gurdjieff made their travels here in the Caucasus, for their knowledge.
When I became aware of their existence, and of the more mystical roots of Christianity and its teachings, that's when I realised there's a layer beneath the rest of the layers.
The jews of the bible refer to all of the tribes, as far as I know, all the peoples and nations of the world. The jews of today have very little (if any) connection with the jews (the peoples) of the biblical times.
The whole of the Indo-European peoples, from the times of Noah, are descended from these peoples mentioned in the bible, including Caucasians and Europeans. Japheth, Shem, Ham. All the peoples.
I don't think you need to worship Jesus to get to God. Yeshua, Christ and God - as all divine things emanate a three-fold light, they are a trinity within a trinity. They are separate emanations of one sacred whole. I think that's the meaning behind "get to God through me".
Yeshua is the physical (practical) incarnation, Christ is the resurrected, and God is the highest whole. Three aspects - one whole.
Why I go ballistic when people berate Jesus (especially those who claim to hold "knowledge") is because they don't understand the symbolic and functional meaning of his story, even on a basic level.
They think they've read all these manuscripts and so on but they have not even made the elementary conclusions and derived symbolic meaning from the materials.
I always go in hard on those who crucify themselves by admonishing Jesus. There is some blackness that lives in their hearts when they do it, and I can see it on them always. Even on their faces.
They haven't really taken the time to interface with his spirit. If they had, they would have understood the basic meaning of his sacrifice and story - which is to provide truth of the immortal nature of our souls.
Not proof but truth, because that's the meaning of all parables, at least in high Christianity, to allow the other to make up their own mind and choice on whether they wish to believe or not. Every great teaching is a story within a story.
It's either that, or they're serving another, more gruesome agenda.
These are LIARS, and I will always call them out as LIARS. Not because I have anything against them, but because that's what they factually are. They pretend to know but, in truth, they know very little.
A spiritual man who cannot see the symbolic meaning behind the resurrection of Christ *within* Jesus and the undeniable beauty of its meaning and implications, but instead chooses to see filth, deception and darkness - that is no spiritual man. He has no real sight for truth, just bits and pieces of formulaic sister-forms of ritualistic magic that brings nothing but suffering to this world, and even to them themselves. Even their sources for these are not their own but bought, traded and passed down for no good reasons, for example, unlike yourself - who is well read in these matters.
There's very few hills I'd die on, but this is one of them.
A highly sensitive and conscious mind KNOWS before it even knows. He knows by sense and intuition and an inner clarity. When something feels fishy or deceitful, he knows it's probably a half-truth (half-lie), but when something is pure - he knows that it's pure by default.
But what else is a fake messiah than someone who claims to know God and Divinity but knows nothing in truth.
We caricaturise fake preachers and dress them in ridiculous robe-and-attire but the real fake preachers are the ones who are right here with us, on this very media platform, who lead others astray on a daily basis, thinking they're saving the world with their god complexes and infantile insecurities.
The depth of Christianity goes far beyond turning the other cheek and giving your power away to some higher power.
It is rather a gentle acceptance of one's fate and greater destiny as the tools of his enlightenment, not through servitude and service but through surrender.
I believe Jesus' teachings with the gnostic bend is more relatable.
The idea I need to worship jesus to find God doesn't give right and never will to me.
Additionally, there are some passages in the Bible in which Jesus is portrayed as saying he is only here to save the jews.
Does that not make you question it a bit?

One thing that's eerily common between Gurdjieff and Castaneda (which ofc the latter has derived a lot of inspiration from, but still) is how they casually mention a similar cosmology and it's very disturbing the first time you're exposed to it.
With Gurdjieff, he mentions this to his "advanced" students in private talks (we have excerpts) and with Castaneda, this is only mentioned in his LAST book ever, published the year he died.
Just like other plants and animals, human beings also have predator(s). Just like the fish in a tank, even though they've been bred by us for a gazillion years to be killed & eaten, they have ZERO idea about it - they have their own little worlds and things and the whole cycle continues.
Human beings are also a "feed" for some other things. This is mentioned in esoteric texts, like how two humans can sit next to each other, but one would be closer to a plant vs the other, closer to an angel (on the level of being). We all look the same, the flesh body, but that's not the ONLY body humans have.
Just like how it's the norm of nature to always overproduce, and only a tiny tiny few survive and grow (think sperm -> human, and literally everything else also), human beings are also like that - most will become manure, keeping the lowest form of life going, so higher humans/beings can evolve out of it, albeit very very few, very very rare. That's given. That's how this whole game is designed.
All of this is so otherwordly and so obvious at the same time. And explains a whole lot.

Never allow others to be quietly jealous of you.
They're going to kill your energy and your success.
You need to shut that noise down immediately, even when it's awkward.
Whatever negative energy you feel coming your way has to become a conversation - right then and there in the moment.
Jealousy is the strongest projector of deficient energy and QUICKLY sours into ill-wishing.
And ill-wishing freezes your projects and your progress until its spell is broken.
Most humans don't understand just how potent and constant something like that is.
Because most humans don't know that energy projection is real.
If nothing seems to be going forward in your life, look around you and *really* study the reactions of your friends and family (painful, yes) when it comes to your success.
When others are afraid of your success, their fear becomes food for the demons of misfortune that tug at the strings of your fate.
You must teach yourself to ask the difficult questions and call out negatively charged behaviors. It will literally save you tons of pain and heartbreak.
"That didn't seem like a genuinely happy reaction."
"You almost sound jealous. What do you have to be jealous about?"
"You don't seem very glad about my success."
Yeah, it might make you cringe, but remember that the other person doesn't feel awkward at all about their literal dark energy towards you, about wishing you deficit and lack.
It's infinitely better to have these awkward conversations than quietly eating all that dark energy.
The biggest sufferers of misfortune from others' jealousy are the ones who are in denial about other people's jealousy.
"Oh they're not jealous! What do they have to be jealous about?"
The one other way to completely cut off this dark energy without saying it out in the open is to mark the ill-wisher with the genuine truth.
This means that you MUST confess to yourself that they are a jealous person, and you must start treating them as such.
"X is a truly jealous person. They are jealous of my success and of my happiness."
This takes away their power completely and their projections lose influence the moment you assign their true name to them.
But most people don't do this.
You either need to assign the name of JEALOUSY to the person that is - not matter how painful, or simply make their jealous behavior known through conversation.
No one wants to feel lonely or attacked by their friends and loved ones, but if you just take a short moment and assign a single strong emotion to every person in your life that defines them the best - you WILL understand that most of your friends and allies are not your allies at all.
Don't be afraid of the truth, and don't be afraid of loneliness in the face of that truth either.
The truth will set you free and open your gates for you - for you to find success and real friendships.
Could be your own brother, sister, mother, father, aunt, grandparent - whoever.
Call the serpent by its name.

If you have ADHD, one of the worst things you can do is goon (a kabbalistic weapon that makes you depressed and retarded).
"So it's not weird that gooning dysregulates me and turns me into a rude ahole?"
Maybe not.
Anything that suddenly drops, depletes, or disrupts baseline dopamine will rapidly lower an ADHD individual's threshold for frustration, directly triggering severe irritability, mood slumps, and emotional volatility
Biochemically speaking, irritability in individuals with ADHD is not a personality flaw.
It is a direct byproduct of your neurotransmitter dysregulation and altered brain connectivity.
"I thought that ADHD was just about attention/focus".
No.
The exact same biochemical pathways that govern focus also manage our "emotional brakes".
For example, the ADHD brain is characterized by a baseline deficiency or rapid reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine.
But besides focus and alertness, these also act as chemical stabilizers for frustration.
When dopamine levels are chronically low or fluctuating wildly, the brain's threshold for frustration drops significantly for example.
So minor inconveniences, like a sudden interruption, a delayed task, or sensory overload, cause a rapid chemical crash, triggering an immediate, irritable "fight-or-flight" response.
This is why you can be mislabeled as rude, an a-hole etc while your reactions are not targeting the person you have in front you.
"So it's just about dopamine?"
I wish it was that simple.
In individuals with ADHD, there is an altered structural and functional connectivity between the PFC and the limbic system.
The prefrontal cortex is the executive command center of the brain, responsible for self-control, logical reasoning, and overriding impulsive reactions.
So without strong, catecholamine-driven signals from the PFC to dampen down an overactive amygdala, emotions surge rapidly and cool down slowly.
While ADHD is most famously linked to the prefrontal cortex, abnormalities in the limbic system are also heavily linked to core symptoms like emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and attention deficits.
Think of the limbic system as our survival software.
-The amygdala scans the environment for danger and processes emotional responses.
-The hippocampus helps store long-term memories so the brain can remember past dangers or safe spaces
-The hypothalamus manages basic needs like hunger, thirst, and body temperature.
So it's crucial for homeostasis overall, reward and threat detection, memory and learning.
Now in many individuals with ADHD, the amygdala shows structural differences or atypical connectivity with the rest of the brain.
This can lead to "bottom-up" emotional hijacking, where feelings like frustration, impatience, or boredom are felt with extreme intensity, driving impulsive actions before the prefrontal cortex can step in to modulate them.
The hippocampus is essential for contextual memory.
In ADHD, alterations in this area can cause struggles with working memory (forgetting what you were doing mid-task) and "time blindness" (difficulty using past experiences to judge how long a future task will take)
The limbic system is a major pathway for dopamine.
In ADHD brains, a deficit in dopamine signaling makes it difficult for the thalamus to filter out irrelevant sensory data, resulting in chronic distractibility, fatigue, or low motivation.
"How to fix?"
There is no simple way to “fix” the limbic system.
It is not a single broken part that can be repaired.
It is a network of structures whose activity and connectivity can become dysregulated by chronic stress, trauma, sleep deprivation, inflammation, or other factors.
Recovery and better regulation are possible because these circuits are plastic, but the process is gradual.
There is a long list of things that can help.
For example:
-Exposure-based therapies and CBT help extinguish exaggerated fear responses by repeatedly pairing threat cues with safety in a controlled way.
This strengthens prefrontal inhibition over the amygdala and builds new extinction memories.
-Regular physical activity is one of the most reliable ways to support hippocampal neurogenesis.
-Optimizing sleep.
Chronic short or fragmented sleep amplifies amygdala reactivity and weakens prefrontal regulation.
-Trauma-focused therapies (including EMDR and prolonged exposure) are particularly relevant when past trauma has left the amygdala hyper-reactive and the hippocampus less able to contextualize threats.
-Regular meditation is associated with increased prefrontal and anterior cingulate thickness/activity and reduced amygdala reactivity to emotional stimuli.

To burn is to shine.
To shine is to give off warmth.
To give off warmth is to attract.
To attract is to lead.
A boy becomes a man the moment he understands this. A man must burn in the fire of his passions, endlessly and ceaselessly.
Each and every hardship your life throws at you can either put your fire out or serve as deadwood - as stoking for the flame.
Never be afraid to burn brighter.
To dare to touch back everything that touches you and hurts you. Every man's destiny is to struggle. We are all brothers in this cause.
A man who does not struggle can never be a happy and fulfilled man.
You must remain persistent in the face of your struggles, even at the cost of your own convenience and comfort.
The cost of your happiness is your temporary comfort.
The cost of your fulfillment & joy is simple convenience.
