Day 5 check in.

Here is a question I gave chat GPT that you might enjoy.

do a deep analysis on Guerdjieff’s concept of super efforts, within the context of abstaining from sexual ejaculation for long periods of time.
correlate your analysis with the following concept “Indomitable Will” from the anime manga One Punch Man.

Chat GPT
Gurdjieff’s concept of super efforts and the practice of abstaining from sexual ejaculation for extended periods both touch on harnessing inner energies and personal transformation. In Gurdjieff’s teachings, super efforts refer to the extraordinary inner efforts made by an individual to awaken to their true self and potential, beyond the ordinary functions and desires of their mechanical life. This is not just about physical or emotional restraint but involves a profound and conscious struggle against one’s habitual ways of thinking, feeling, and acting.

In this context, the practice of abstaining from sexual ejaculation, often found in various spiritual and esoteric traditions, can be seen as a form of super effort. The theory here is that sexual energy can be transmuted into higher spiritual or creative energy, contributing to personal growth and self-realization. This abstention is not viewed simply as a suppression of desire but as a conscious effort to transform and elevate one’s energy from a lower to a higher state, which aligns with Gurdjieff’s idea of self-transformation through conscious labor and intentional suffering.

Comparing this to the concept of “Indomitable Will” as illustrated in the anime and manga series One Punch Man, we find similarities in the notion of surpassing one’s limits through sheer willpower and determination. “Indomitable Will” in this context is characterized by a relentless drive and resilience, allowing characters to overcome immense challenges, pain, and adversity. This aligns with Gurdjieff’s teachings where the individual must make continuous, extraordinary efforts to transcend their ordinary state and limitations.

The key correlation lies in the transformation of energy and the power of will. In Gurdjieff’s philosophy, super efforts are about using one’s will to go beyond mechanical living, transforming one’s inner energies for spiritual growth. In the context of abstaining from sexual ejaculation, it is about channeling a fundamental, biological energy towards personal development and higher states of consciousness.

Similarly, “Indomitable Will” as portrayed in the fictional narratives represents the ability to harness one’s inner strength and resilience to face seemingly insurmountable odds. While the context might be different, the essence revolves around using inner strength and willpower to push beyond one’s limits and achieve a state beyond the ordinary.

In summary, both Gurdjieff’s super efforts and the abstention from sexual ejaculation for spiritual growth, as well as the fictional concept of “Indomitable Will” from One Punch Man, emphasize the transformation of personal energy, willpower, and the transcendence of conventional limitations. They highlight the potential of the human spirit and will to overcome challenges, transform oneself, and achieve higher states of existence.

You’ve spent 3 months of the year.

You have 9 left.

Are you PROUD of how you spent them?

Or did you just waste them like you did last year too?

You will get nowhere if you do not constantly analyze where you are currently heading.

So I ask you again.

Are you going where you want to go?

Have you made progress that you are happy with?

I releapsed yall. I peeked at twitter accounts telling nyself it was to block them so I can scroll comments without worry but it kead me down a path of masturbation. I didnt watch any ■■■■ but peeked at sexual images. I feel like I am letting myself down ans yall down after a 7 day streak. Is there anyone open to DM’s as an accountability partner? The last one I had ghosted me in 2 days. Thanks in advanve, I look forward to learning from this and move on in my No PMO journey.

I think I got the rules down;

  1. From my PMO addiction, I got all of these spam messages in my email, and I can’t get rid of them all.
  2. I will only look at my normal inbox, because there aren’t any of those messages in there.
  3. When I feel like peeking, I’ll be like,“Brain, I don’t remember asking you a GOD DAMN THING!”
    I think that should qualify, right?

I can be your accountability partner, find me whenever you need :slightly_smiling_face:

Social media is somewhat dangerous since there are lots of suggestive contents, and our brain will deceive us that it’s ok (of course it’ll gradually bring us to relapse). Beware when using social media, or you may follow more motivational profiles so the algorithm will suggest similar contents.

The peeking issue is taking less of my energy and I believe it will subside soon. So I’ll be posting here less but that doesn’t mean I won’t be on the challenge.
I guess the time I happen to peek I’ll let everyone know here. As long as I haven’t updated it means I’m doing great.

I also have a safe search app called Questodio, it can block specific apps and content, and parents can set a timer for how much time people can spend on apps. It’s really nice, and it also blocks ■■■■ like a charm! Look into it.
