It may not be the way to cut through lustful situations, but i think it's a big step in the sense that one won't be surounded by lust truggering tirggers.

I have very similar views. About being a monk, i think it increases the chances of getting to enlightenment. But in my opinion you don't have to become a monk, instead you could observe the monks or be part of them for a certain while and take from their culture what suits you best. I want to lead a life just like a monks but i don't necessarily want to be a monk. I just like the way they cut them selves off from worldly things. And i totally agree with you on moving to a seni secluded place. It would be away from most worldly distractions. I feel like modern society is designed in such a way that leads us away from enlightenment. -Me

I couldn't meditate as i haven't been able to for weeks now, but i feel refreshed after spending 20 minutes in there i feel like a layer has been removed off my skin. What do you do when it gets too hot and you feel like you can't stand the heat? I noticed the more ithought about how hot it was the more it bothered me but the more i ignored it the less i noticed that it was hot

In the anime "hunter x hunter" Zetsu is term used to describe the practice of concealing ones energy as to hide there presence, reminds me of what this person is trying to sell, if itactually is what it claims to be. -

Thats kind of exactly what im doing i meditate for a while sitting, then i do a simple zhang zhuang stand for a while. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y07FauHYlmg This is the one i do without the warn up and cool down excercises. I hear it supposed to balance out our energy and ground us.

I did a little mini search on brahmacharya and it has some nice principles, might check it out more later. Yeah having a girlfriend would make it tougher heh. Also instead of dispersingall the built up sexual energies we can cultivate it which imo is what makes retention more worthwhile

Chi Boy, in my experience it takes atleast four days after a 'release' to be able to get back on track and meditate, i can't really meditate or concentrate and focus after having 'released'. Having an orgasm scatters energy and unfocuses me and i can't meditate. But thats just me. You do you Heres a post that may shed a little more light. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/41040-the-effects-of-masturbation-on-the-ability-to-meditate/page-1

If i followed feeling i would masturbait 10 times a day, so where is the line between following feeling and retenting?
-
I can't feel any emotions, not sad, not happy, not angry, not scared, nothing. Occasionally I would feel a dreadful panick that I would ignore until it would go away, and I would return to feeling nothing. Does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it. I honestly don't mind it because i don't deal with any emotions but i suspect it is hindering with my meditation and stopping me from feeling any energy and not allowing me to meditate.

Interesting perspective,

Funnily enough i came accross an earth worm struggling on hard surface struggling to get back to on the grass. Thanks for the advice
-
Its mostly a general panic, but i think the topic is "what am i doing with my life?" "Am i doing something thats gonna mess up my future?" But then i tell my self theres nothing wrong with doing nothing(devoting my life to meditation) and ignore the feeling.
-
I somehow can't stop trying, but i will try harder to stop trying (i suspect this also is something i shouldn't do) i just don't know how to let go, and if i do i think i fall asleep
-
I don't know if i'm ignoring them but if I am ignoring them i'm not doing it consciously. I try feeling but it's like theres just nothing to feel. I try to meditate and when i can't feel anything i just give up and stip trying.

"Every stream on earth has a source, and every plant has a root. If all murky sediments settle at the source, the downstream waters will naturally be clear and fresh, and if we water a root, it will grow and branches will sprout; these are the laws of nature. The experienced physician, therefore, will always consider the source." If all murky sediments settle at the source, the downstream waters will naturally be clear and fresh i read this somewhere and it is confusing me, i pondered over it a little but not enough, but i also wanted to ask you people what you understand of it. how can murky sediments be at the source and not filthify the rest of the water that goes down stream when all the water that comes from the source goes through the murky sediments? OK
