Just now, I awoke from a strange dream. A small, wild puppy was by my father's side on the ground, prepared to bite his neck in his sleep, but he was at my beck and call, and I could stop him if I chose. Initially, I let him go ahead and try to murder him, but the sight was so depressing that I wanted to stop him. And then I woke up.

To be honest, since I lost my emotions, these dreams of my father in pain recur every now and then. In one, we were in this Saw-like room together. In another, I saw him jump from a building onto long projected spikes. Each time, the sight was horrific. While I didn't feel anything since I can't feel emotions anymore, I still knew it was awful. But I appreciate these dreams, they feel like a hint to why I lost my emotions. It's like a message from the subconscious telling me my emotions were lost or frozen at that point when I honestly wished for him to die.

My first sexual experience was at 26. I got really drunk with my bible study group leader. We were talking about relationship stuff- I was trying (and failing) to woo this foreign exchange chick, and she was having issues with her LDR. Next thing I know it's 3 AM and she's crawled onto my lap and has her tongue in my mouth. My roommate stormed out to get some water, trying to be as inconspicuous as he could, but I made the mistake and led her into my bedroom. I couldn't get hard, otherwise I would have fucked her, maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the smell of dingleberries, but I fingered her and then we fell asleep. But I felt pretty stressed about it because I felt like I had fucked up. Long story short we don't talk to each other anymore and that was the push she needed to move to Alaska and marry her LDR boyfriend. Hurts because she was one of my closest friends after moving to a new town for grad school, but I needed to move on to girls who are actually single. Maybe I should have told her to break up with him and stay with me when she came back and apologized the day after. But it's no point on worrying about the past now. It's been two years.

Anyway, why I'm replying to your post- I told my dad when I was really getting stressed/guilty about it and I felt like he was just elated that I finally told him that I finally touched a vagina. I do think he was right in telling me that I'm not the one that cheated and the guilt should be on her.

Love is a great sorrow and I suffer to love better the least flower of its skirt than all the stars of the skies. I had thought that to visit her little during the summer would attenuate the fascination which she exerts on me since it is said that the distance kills the love, and indeed I managed to think little enough about her not to suffer to contact her only weekly, but as soon as I had again the occasion to speak to her at my will she took again immediately all the place which her absence had eroded and this all the more quickly as she shows a new affability which causes me even more torment. She haunts my soul completely and it distracts me from giving my duties all the attention I owe them. I also try to get to know various other women to convince myself that the passion I have for her is crazy and arbitrary, but I only lose esteem for women and gain more for her, she has qualities of an extreme rarity and even her defects are lovable and endearing. Really she is both a great gift that Providence has given me but also a very tiring ordeal and I feel exhausted to think so much about such trifles without being able to do anything about it.

Playing video games makes me almost physically sick now. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I never played video games again, but it is concerning how playing video games for a mere 2 or 3 hours will make me enter depression.

I think reading is a cope for my lack of productivity. I have all these notions and feelings of transcendence from time to time that I dream of putting to paper (as I have no other creative skills) but it doesn't matter how many days off I have I seldom vomit more than a few sentences out, which I quickly abandon.

Then sometimes the feeling strikes me that when these feelings are ready to come to life then I will be overcome by the compulsion to write, and to not force it until then, but like any skill it's obviously better to practice first so that I actually have the tools needed to flesh out my ideas.

So then I partially lie to myself that reading whatever book is practice of a sort. And maybe some part of me knows my ideas of writing anything of value are basically a fantasy that will never be realized. Otherwise I have a nice life I guess.

Everything I'm trying to write feels like a contradiction of my own values on the surface. Trying to write a story about what is and isn't "God" feels like an an anti-theistic venture at first glance, because I'm using characters that dislike the polytheistic, fallible, greek-like "gods" that are pulling the strings of the story. I haven't yet figured out how I'm going to implement "the alternative" as these "ubermensch" for lack of better words, are deposed and a new human order is installed. There will be some who desire atheism, because their gods weren't real. But the ones who overthrew the "gods" might still believe in God- the real concept, not one that's just some overpowered anthropomorphism who idles around on a throne in the clouds. How I build that up, and explore it, without being to "on-the-nose," is what I'm trying to figure out now.

Same with the concept of tradition- I have an idea of a violent ritual tradition within a family. The older characters are pro-tradition, and the younger ones are anti-tradition and see it as barbaric. But as the story develops, you learn to understand the consequences of NOT following the tradition, and that single act of violence is far more civilized than the alternative.

Yeah, I think I'm starting to realize this.

Shouldn't it be the other way around by human nature?" Which made me realize I could either flip their ideologies and have the nephew influence the uncle into taking a more "revolutionary" stance over time, or I could keep it as is and build up why the nephew has such a massive boner for the empire.

I have come to the realization that I am a fool, and highly conscious of it. Lines of thought flicker in and out, within such an obviously narrow spectrum...any realization within necessarily carries my mark. Any serious thought results in infinite regressions and dead ends....and all this intellectual effort just to(I suspect) provide metaphysical justification to neurotic elements of my person. But to abandon such positions would be an unthinkable concession... all the blood spilled, the mental strain and anguish...I refuse to believe that these impressions and so forth were purely a completely self-inflicted, neurotic condition, because such a crushing realization would cause me to only further suspect and detest myself. And with this in mind, I cannot tell the just from the unjust, because I suspect myself absolutely for the aforementioned reasons. In addition, my intellectual betters who are reading this will no doubt tear me and my pathetic "position" to shreds(and good to you who do, it is both your right and your duty). But how am I to trust myself in the wake of having the core of my person hood dismantled in front of me? There is something within me that seeks freedom from being remade in the image of others, transcendence from the baseness and "un-sublime" given. The fact that I have put this into words encapsulates and debases it already. Curse this endless conversation.

Hmm.... I understand and appreciate that you would not be mainly for money, but for enjoyment of such a project and passion for it. Although I think idea is great (I love a lot of self help, skill learning, finance etc... stuff), you'd unavoidably end up in a situation where exposure and the brand would come as one of the highest priority, if not above even quality of the writing itself.

This is a parallel and a different aspect, this is psychological, spiritual, mental battle rather then material nurture of the body itself.

Neither will you fix work by not caring of other opinion, nor would best work fix what you perceive other think of you.

>and so work seems like drudgery to maintain drudgery
I will not be the one retard to tell you "you are doing wrong job!", I will just tell you that it's literally purpose, value, focus and goals that you need and for that you really need to think everything properly and introspect about what you ACTUALLY WANT, then baby steps to push yourself in that direction after or before work, then you will have something to look forward to that you can return to after a daily grind.

It's gay answer, but that literally it, the reason why you "find yourself" is so you can focus on actual desires and on joy of accomplishing them instead of focusing on negative circlejerk that is void of soul and 100000x less productive.

The idea is that the pocket guides would self-promote by asking people to share it for free and ask for a Patreon donation or something at the end IFF you got something out of it.

Really whats inspiring this project is that how-to books are never sufficient enough to fully explain the history of what I have seen. For example, I can recommend my favorite personal finance book, but I cannot sufficiently explain WHY I chose this book as being better than another. I want my how-to pocket guides to be more than how-tos, I want them to be an experience that gets the audience into my mindset by literally listing influences and my interpretations.

I think the people having tantrums are normies. Normies don't have communities anymore. It's why they make up political teams and go through the same arguments 10,000 times in the hopes that the opponent also reciting his own repertoire of cookie cut sentences will this time be changed instead of calling them a cunt again. It's useless effort they could be putting into the productive self reflection that would lead them to suicides.

I have this idea that I've been trying to communicate for the last week or two but I can't put it succinctly or simply or make it come out nice. In my practice of meditation I've come into contact with, very clearly, things inside of me that are on the level below me, below my conscious self. These wants, desires, actions arise from this machinelike and predictable ancient self at the most base level. Through interrogation of these feelings, I don't know I've come to a conclusion that is something like "the lowest informs us of the highest". I take these feelings and try to see where they are driving me, where they are going. These things that are inside me that are of me but not from me. In the same way that an otter is born knowing how to swim there are natural impulses inside me, guiding me and they are pushing me towards something through an unconscious understanding of myself and it's my job to understand these impulses and turn them into their fullest form, their most beautiful form. I think all of that made sense.

I'm curious as to why so much of the geopolitics of post WW2 civilization (particularly the 21st century) seems so inordinately preoccupied with keeping everything exactly in relative place. No borders are allowed to change, no country is allowed to fall or rise above its station as of 1945, with the only major exception being the USSR. And even culturally, it seems like we've hit a sort of stasis. Culture from early 2000s seems not that different from now, particularly media, even with the massive shift of the internet. The more things change the more things stay the same.

France, the UK, Belgium, and all the places that "won" divested themselves of their colonies, France and the UK rushing through their split of Palestine and Israel, and Japan had to give back Korea and all kinds of weird shit happened that was far less stable than even the scramble for Africa in some ways and the other expansionist plans that led to them all having colonies. The Balkans has countries which are younger than you and that was a big thing through the nineties.

No it's a long term thing. Most of the excolonies couldn't survive alone, so they might still use the currency, and the US and Russia kept throwing money at everyone on top of that because of the cold war, and then we looped back to the Anglos and Russians invading Afghanistan again. I'd say the repeat is at Afghanistan (under the first Bush) but it's the US not UK leading the global commercial dominance. Opium wars and the risk of China etc all fit the bill for that kind of repeat of the late Victorian. Opium trade in the Vietnam conflict wake and Cambodia etc all look more like the early stages before the gilded age. I'd say it's about 125year loop?

It wasn't bad enough to not warrant a second date but it's also not like I'm racing out the door to see her again. I get the sense that she felt the same?

I've been hacking out my lungs in this discord voice chat with a guy in vietnam and one in my homestate. my internet is getting really shitty for some reason. they have the fnaf 1 circus theme on a one hour loops. and due to the internet it keeps cutting and glitching out. it's a strangely appealing moment, I think I'll remember this one. I have developed some kind of throat infection, or bronchitis, or strep. I'm on quarantine for three days because i took the long covid test because the doctors couldn't figure out whats wrong with me.

The house I live in(with my folks), is a shitty made suburban house. were pretty sure the upstairs(near a shower) grows mold due to poor ventilation and optimal warmth, and specifically it grows it during spring and fall.

My childhood asthma is why, out of everyone in the family I get sick. no one else does, besides my brother when he was a little younger. I think I got 3 throat infections last spring. combine this with the fact I got drunk for the first time two nights ago(total body count was about 2 of absinthe that was absolutely larger then shot size because i was stealing it) and 3 of wine, about the same as the absinthe. the vomiting uprooted every sort of protective measure in my throat so i was especially susceptible to any sort of illness. I feel like utter shit. I have my friends here to accompany me.

I'm starving and everyone is asleep except for me and due to my general clumsiness I refuse to open the fridge so I don't wake up the house. I've jerked off 3 times in the past 4 hours, I think my sperm count has been decreasing the past two weeks, but my T supplements should be here soon. I miss the gym. in a little less than 10 days two of my friends who i met in my teenage years and probably had a hand in saving my life will be moving to a town about an hour away. I'll be able to see them of course, but I'll miss how close they were.

It's a beautiful night, and I still don't have a chubby gamer gf.

Right now, I'm packing up for college, continuing from an academic suspension I received. I'm thinking about how much I don't want to fuck up again, but just might anyways.
I know I should start the work the first day I get it, go to office hours, make friends and study, etc. But what if I just get lazy and don't? What if I lose sight again. I don't want to and I don't intend to, at least I hope I don't. Wish me luck. And good luck.

Everyone has their story, don’t they? For me it was at summer camp; it was after sunset, and while everyone was walking down to the campfire we snuck off. Well for me it was in the morning; I crept through the dewy grass and mist to her tent before the others woke. For I… well, it wasn’t at any camp: we were neighbors, but our houses were separated by a copse; there was nature trail which ran through it, connecting her backyard with mine; I remember one autumn afternoon walking down it to her place, and I knew then it would happen; and we were in love, at the time. And they cherish these stories in a melancholic sort of way. And what they would give to live it again. And what would I give? What they’d give to go back I’d give the same to visit for the first time.

These stories are things that can only be cherished from afar, after separation by time, or separation by alienation, like a petrified plant in a display case. And it all seems sad. And this sadness is ineluctable. That is, you can’t tell a young person, before their big date, what with your teary eyes, to enjoy being young. Because he will look into your eyes and see, though his watery reflection, you. And he will see you as a youth, and he will see death, and he will think about death. And when he is lying in her bedroom, or in the backseat of his car, he will be thinking about death. And he won’t be thinking about her.

The storied old person can only speak in a quavering voice. The young person cannot speak until he has finished writing his story. But the old person who hasn’t a story to tell… well, for him there isn’t much to say.

How much talking to myself is too much? I know I'm talking to myself and I don't hear voices or anything, but I do have conversations in my head both with made up and real people. I started doing this as a kid because I was lonely and had no one to talk with about my interests, but the habit just stuck around.
I recently realized that sometimes I talk out loud if I'm paying more attention to these made up conversations than my surroundings especially if I'm dead tired. I also started arguing a few months ago, (maybe years, not sure) where the imagined person I'm talking to doesn't understand something or is just being a contrarian. I went as far as searching for some picture on the internet to prove a point. Again, I know I'm imagining it all, but sometimes I really get into these conversations and because I don't want to just interrupt the flow of these fantasies since on some level talking or arguing brings me a bit of pleasure, they sometimes bleed over into reality.

now sure how to balance my spiritual ambition. I believe in the afterlife, all of this will matter. at the same time I don't know if I can cope with a regular life without at least jerking off. I listen to the buddhist claim that long term it causes more pain than pleasure, but short term I can't really function. For sure there are gonna be days so heavy it's gonna be real hard not to take that dopamine rush or whatever it is. And the thing is, I think this is normal in buddhism. Lay practitioners don't have to abstain from sensual pleasure, and masturbation is not included in the definition of "sexual misconduct". a lay buddhist, living a regular life, can jerk off (-4 days per lunar month I think), but he should have limited expectations in the next life and should not expect enlightenment, at least not full enlightenment. But I don't want to limit myself for the next life like this. But I am at most a lay practitioner. I guess I so far have not been able to commit to being a monk, and as long as I haven't I have to face it as it is. Probably better the more I do and the more I learn, but ultimately limited, and ultimately facing a kind of life with a lot of ups and downs. Hard keeping a truly level head while being a householder I think.

All humans need is love and work. It doesn't need to be a waged job, but you need something to do most->every day. Think about it-- if a tiger one day decides he wants to quit hunting, or a bird decides it wants to stop building nests in chimney pots, or an ant decides it wants to try living alone, that is a sign the animal will die. Humans like both busywork and meaningful work, but most of all they like doing it in hunting party sized groups, within village sized cooperatives. Your work environment probably mimicks enough of that to make you feel human, while also providing a routine and set of milestones which also make humans feel comfy and community bonded like festivals (though in most businesses it'll be the tax year and deadline etc)

Yeah another culture would be good. Mormons with polygamy are also likely to veer towards incest because of their belief in prophet bloodlines and the racial theory of the sin of Cain, so you wouldn't be likely to get healthy kids even though you'd be new blood if you did convince them to let you join. Places with harems are slightly better because there has to be some level of cooperation to balance out any competition. In the Mormon system one wife might have a bougie lifestyle while the others dumpster dive.

>> No.19006789

Feds don't care about Mormon rape cults. Mormons won a lot of child custody disputes when brought up for abuse, and the only case I know of a community leader being arrested and charged was when they literally had him on tape raping a twelve year old in front of witnesses in a temple. He wasn't recognised by other Mormon groups though. Most polygamous Mormon groups they ignore, and the groups don't recognise federal marriage laws so they're only church married. Then the wives can claim welfare as single mothers. Most kids are only told who their father is once they're old enough to understand the feds are the devil.
