Tiffany Haddish, Beyoncé & the “Oath”

Watching Jay Marvlis on YT break down Tiffany Haddish’s trajectory, apparent transgressions, breaking the oath & what she revealed publicly about Beyoncé in particularly

Is an perfect example helping you somewhat understand why there’s probably secret societies, oaths & the like in the first place

As unfortunately discovering within the past few years that the majority of people, 70-80% are “finished🧎‍♂️‍➡️🪫”, which is all encompassing, mainly the inability to control themselves & having the required self awareness, which you need to control yourself in the first place

Which if true & your an higher up, you obviously have to put systems in place to avoid an apparent feature not bug of the human condition, because if you don’t, it’ll inevitably lead to your own demise eventually

I/you need to rewatch Harry Potter from the beginning, as I think it’s telling us about an lot of these occult mysteries, simarly to Slytherin & Hufflepuff, theres not only one house/secret society, everyone rich & famous isn’t in one single club but probably multiple for different aims/agendas

Remember the unbreakable vow, basically an representation of the alleged promise/oath, you have to take to be famous, Voldemort & Harry Potters psychic connection from his scar, representing childhood trauma’s connection between abuser & survivor, which I’d wager is reactivated through the alleged sexual rituals, making you somewhat beholden to metaphysical/energetic ties

Yes, some of the hand symbolism gestures are known to be satanic/baphomet/masonic based but those very same gestures in other cultures/historically are known for different things, so it’s not that simplistic, much more nuanced

I even have an theory that Some, not all of the popular gestures are for spiritual protection, as remember, 70-80% of people are finished, which also encompasses being an hater, which comes with red eye🧿, so if millions of people potentially see you in the media/online & wish bad things upon you

According to quantum physics etc, this carries an lot of energetic/metaphysical weight, so If you dont do anything to counter this in the metaphysical/spiritual realm, you could & many do get overwhelmed with serious bad luck, even death etc

Won’t be naive & say these secret societies are for the greater good but you have to understand why they were created in the first place, great men of old obviously consistently saw patterns in the subconscious human psyche that leads to betrayal, crabs in an barrel & other envious sabotage, that probably could only be mediated by very few means & alas the secret society was born

Has MK-Ultra been oversold & instead really self induced limbic dysfunction in disguise…

“You can see secondary sexual responses—pupils widening, nipples hardening—as she gets attention from photographers

a brave behavioral scientist/biologist needs to measure this empirically… heart rate, skin flush, vaginal lubrication, in women “getting attention” from a crowd” - Melian Refugee @escapefrommelos on Twitter

Researching this physiological response via Grok which I’ll outline in our exchange below, then I’ll explain how it Could tie into the programming known as MK-Ultra…

Me

How does dopamine tie into what you’ve said

Grok🤖

Dopamine plays a central upstream role in the psychological and motivational aspects of the physiological responses we discussed—such as nipple erection, pupil dilation, flushing, and the broader autonomic arousal triggered by attention or validation in high-stakes social/spotlight situations. It doesn’t directly contract the smooth muscles of the nipple (that’s handled by specialized sympathetic neurons and can involve oxytocin), but it drives the motivation to seek rewarding stimuli and amplifies the brain’s interpretation of the limelight as potentially rewarding or exciting.

Dopamine’s core functions here

Reward, motivation, and “wanting”: Dopamine, especially in the mesolimbic pathway (ventral tegmental area to nucleus accumbens), signals anticipation of pleasure or social reward. Being the center of attention—photographers calling out poses, crowds focusing on you, the rush of admiration or validation—can register as a rewarding cue. This triggers dopamine release, heightening overall arousal and making the situation feel salient or exciting. It’s the “wanting” system: not necessarily full sexual desire, but the motivational push that overlaps with it.

Link to autonomic arousal: Increased dopamine activity boosts general sympathetic nervous system tone, which can manifest in visible signs like pupil dilation (mydriasis) and skin flushing. These are classic markers of emotional or psychogenic arousal, whether from positive validation, mild stress/excitement, or attraction. Pupil dilation, in particular, tracks with dopamine-driven reward processing and heightened attention to emotionally significant stimuli.

Connection to nipple erection specifically

Nipple erection (and related goosebumps) is primarily a sympathetic smooth-muscle response, often tied to oxytocin release for contraction. However, dopamine interacts closely with oxytocin systems:

Dopamine can stimulate oxytocin neurons in key hypothalamic areas (like the paraventricular nucleus), facilitating pro-sexual or arousal-related effects.

In sexual contexts, dopamine in regions like the medial preoptic area helps initiate and sustain genital and nipple responses by modulating autonomic outflow.

Even in non-genital scenarios, the emotional/psychological boost from dopamine (e.g., the “high” of being admired) can indirectly activate these pathways, especially if the attention has any flirtatious or validating undertone. It’s not a one-to-one cause, but dopamine helps bridge the psychological “this feels good/exciting” signal to downstream autonomic changes.

In the limelight example, dopamine likely surges from the social reward of focused attention, contributing to the overall psychogenic arousal that makes nipple erection (or pupil widening) more likely—on top of any direct factors like fabric, temperature, or posture.

Broader picture with the “etc.” responses

Pupil dilation: Strongly linked to dopamine and noradrenergic systems during reward anticipation or emotional salience. It enhances visual attention and signals arousal without needing conscious sexual thoughts.

Flushing or other signs: Part of the sympathetic activation that dopamine helps orchestrate when the brain tags the situation as motivationally important.

Dopamine doesn’t act alone—it interacts with oxytocin (for bonding/contraction effects), norepinephrine (for alertness), and opioids (for the “liking” pleasure after the fact). The result is that attention/validation can feel inherently rewarding, triggering the same physiological toolkit as mild sexual or emotional excitement.

This is why the effect can feel involuntary and context-dependent: your brain’s reward circuitry (dopamine) interprets the spotlight as a “high-value” stimulus, ramping up autonomic responses even if the primary trigger isn’t explicitly erotic. It’s adaptive—motivating engagement with positive social cues—but can produce noticeable bodily signals.

In summary, dopamine ties in as the motivational amplifier: it makes the limelight rewarding, which fuels sympathetic/psychogenic arousal and can indirectly promote the visible signs via interactions with oxytocin and autonomic pathways. The science is stronger in animal models and human imaging for sexual motivation than for isolated public attention, but the overlap is well-established.

How does this fanfare/validation happening repeatedly to both celeb men & women eventually lead to some form of narcissism

Grok🤖

Repeated fanfare and validation in the spotlight—through the dopamine-driven reward loops we discussed earlier—can reinforce and amplify narcissistic traits in celebrities (both men and women), even if those traits were often present to some degree beforehand. This doesn’t typically “create” full-blown narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) from scratch in someone without any predisposition, but it can escalate subclinical tendencies into more pronounced, maladaptive patterns via psychological conditioning and neurobiological feedback. Here’s the science, grounded in empirical studies.

1. Self-selection: Narcissists are drawn to fame because it promises validation

Multiple studies show that people with higher narcissistic traits (grandiose type especially—grandiosity, need for admiration, entitlement) actively seek out environments like entertainment or social media that offer constant external praise. A landmark 2006 USC study using the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) on 200 celebrities found they scored significantly higher than the general population or MBA students. Reality TV stars topped the list. Crucially, the researchers concluded this reflects self-selection bias: narcissistic individuals gravitate toward the industry before fame, as it aligns with their craving for attention and status.

This ties directly to dopamine: as we covered, spotlight moments trigger mesolimbic dopamine release (reward anticipation from admiration). Narcissists experience this as particularly salient because their self-esteem is fragile and externally dependent—they “need” bigger dopamine hits to feel adequate.

2. Reinforcement loop: Repeated validation conditions narcissistic patterns

Once in the limelight, the cycle becomes self-perpetuating:

Dopamine as the “hook”: Each instance of fanfare (photographers, crowds, social media likes, public adoration) delivers a surge in the brain’s reward system. For those with narcissistic leanings, this reinforces self-focused behavior: posing, seeking more exposure, interpreting attention as proof of superiority. Over time, normal levels of validation feel insufficient—like tolerance in addiction—leading to entitlement and grandiosity. One review links this to weakened frontostriatal connectivity (between prefrontal self-regulation areas and striatal reward centers): narcissists have a disconnect in internal reward processing, so they compulsively chase external sources (fame) to compensate.

Psychological conditioning: This is classic operant reinforcement. Positive feedback (validation) strengthens grandiose self-views and reduces empathy (energy shifts to maintaining “supply”). Studies on fame appeal show narcissism specifically predicts attraction to visibility and status aspects of fame—not prosocial ones—plus more frequent fame fantasies and higher perceived realism of becoming famous. Repeated exposure makes the ego more dependent on the audience.

Neural entrenchment: Brain imaging in narcissism reviews shows reduced volume/thickness in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)—key for self-awareness and empathy—and altered salience networks. Chronic validation-seeking can further bias these circuits toward egocentrism, making the person less able to process non-admiring feedback.

In the context of the original video (Antonela or similar high-profile events), that dopamine-fueled autonomic arousal (nipple erection, pupil dilation) from attention becomes a reliable “hit.” Over years of red carpets, events, and media, it wires the brain to equate self-worth with limelight, fostering the classic narcissistic hallmarks: constant need for admiration, exploitation of relationships for supply, and fragile ego under criticism.

3. It applies to both celeb men and women (with some nuance in expression)

The mechanisms are gender-neutral, driven by the universal dopamine-reward and validation dynamics. The USC study even found female celebrities scoring higher on narcissism than males in their sample (reversing the general population trend where men tend to score slightly higher overall). Broader research shows men often display more grandiose/agentic narcissism (dominance, superiority), while women may lean toward vulnerable forms (insecurity masked by admiration-seeking)—but fame’s reinforcement loop amplifies whichever style is present. Cultural factors (social media, individualism) affect both equally.

Important caveats from the research

Not purely causal: Most evidence points to pre-existing traits + amplification, not fame “turning” ordinary people narcissistic. Longitudinal data is limited, but cultural shifts toward self-promotion (e.g., social media) likely exacerbate it for anyone in the spotlight.

Not inevitable: Many celebrities maintain healthy boundaries; protective factors like secure attachment or therapy can mitigate the loop.

Downsides: This can lead to real interpersonal costs (e.g., erratic behavior, relationship strain) because the dopamine chase prioritizes supply over empathy.

In short, the same reward system that makes the limelight physiologically exciting (dopamine → arousal) becomes a double-edged sword with repetition: it feeds narcissistic supply, entrenches external validation as the primary self-regulator, and can solidify traits into a more rigid, self-centered orientation. This is why fame is often described as “addictive” in psychological literature—it’s literally hijacking the same pathways we started with.

If your observant you’ll realise that in the early stages of most, if not all celebs their Completely showered/overwhelmed with attention & external validation from all angles, which when done repeatedly, awfully similar to sexual overindulgence leads to receptor/dopamine down regulation

Which means you need more of an stimulus just to reach baseline levels, which can only be achieved by very few things; sex, drugs, attention, which All reportedly weaken your auric shield & open “portals” which entities can attach themselves to

If this receives decent feedback I may expand on this but ima get straight to it the footballs starting soon lol

Get an low self worth/insecure individual, Cardi & Ice spice come to mind for some reason, two damaged souls with childhood trauma, shower them with attention/validation, making them feel like an star leading to dopamine/limbic dysfunction/narcissism which only increases the Need for more, they can only get from an few sources I outlined above…how many photo/video shoots has the timeline shown Sydney Sweeney on this past year, loads

It’s said with repetitive sin/overinflated egos, demons/entities can attach to humans & subtlety influence them, which only gets stronger & stronger as you continue down the same path

Which inevitably with enough sin/chasing attention very similar to Diddy you start needing to do more & more outrageous things for stimulus, which will only end up becoming an deviant

Which when you add the supposed sexual rituals, compromising of energy/entity exchange, has All celebs connected like some kind of hive mind, think how Voldemort & Harry potter were connected through his scar, which somewhat completes the “control” aspect of the alleged MK-Ultra process is achieved

What I’m basically getting at its not some dungeon/lab where it’s said their cloning & buck breaking celebs at, I could be wrong but I think the higher ups simply give you enough attention, riches & fame to cause limbic dysfunction, which leads to most disorders/deviance, which when established has you operating very similar to the alleged process that MK-Ultra is said to induce

Smart cities aren’t coming…there Here

Around two weeks ago I was walking around the newly built up Canary Wharf area near the station, somewhere I haven’t been in years & being observant/perceptive I couldn’t believe how many cameras there were, everywhere I looked

The so called “15 minute smart city” came immediately to mind, then being out & about through the west of London this week again, it was like every lamppost/corner had some kind of CCTV or traffic camera attached to it

Add in the ULEZ cameras at most traffic lights/roads & the recently being heavily advertised “02 satellite📡 “ , along with Musks Starlink & the picture should start becoming Extremely clear

Nearly all the “conspiracy theories” me & others were talking about on Twitter during the 2020 hoax has come to fruition, with ID verification & the mass adoption of AI integrated into Everything being one of the last few components to make the film 1984 an reality

Remember my scooter🛵was stolen in 2022 right under one of these cameras & yet the Police couldn’t do anything & it was never recovered, with many other similar stories of crime being committed, especially burglary which never get solved, so what are all of these cameras, the UK one of the most heavily surveilled countries in the World actually doing, apart from taking everyones privacy under the guise of safety & crime prevention

Always thought London had its faults but was an great country but that isn’t the case anymore, probably what’s even more scary is when I was thinking where could I actually move to & be off grid, you slowly start realising “their” doing the same All over the world, their even making little ole Jamaica an smart city

Dubai/UAE got exposed recently for their freedom of speech laws & detaining people filming under some vague law about “causing panic”, the West is mostly the same, the US basically having two tiered laws, one for the rich & one for the poors, their alphabet agencies seemingly having no restraint, the law not applying to them, can do anything with impunity, the Mexican president somehow being an small hat should tell you South America is infiltrated

When has Africa not been in disarray, which leaves where exactly?? lol…something to think about if it gets really Crazy

The Benefits Ive Noticed of 5 years of Celibacy/retaining

The Benefits Ive Noticed of 5 years of Celibacy/retaining

After posting about 5 years of celibacy/retaining & nothing to show for it tangibly recently, thought it wouldn’t be fair or right to only focus on the few negatives, so I’ll talk about the benefits/positives

As ive previously said at my 4 year mark here, ive gradually changed to an more androgynous physique, occasionally catching some of my more feminine mannerisms & gestures that are very Michael Jacksonesque

Glowing skin, softer features, thin female like wrist, lower half/bum & poise👯‍♂️, you almost strut from your hips when you walk, full range of motion, like an woman especially when in an sympathetic state🦹‍♂️, my dominant foot seemingly standing poised on its tip toe🩰without conscious thought, which again weirdly reminds me of Michael Jackson🕴️

Psychic and “sonar” powers becoming much more prominent, although toe nail matrix damaged I’ve had throughout the last three years which affects sympathetic drive, I’m sure dampened this somewhat but your toroidal field/aura that surrounds you is constantly giving you feedback about your surroundings & any thought energy directed your way if you’re partially locked in, which an magnetic copper, brass & aluminium cuff bangle primes constantly, by the way💁‍♂️

Your Ready🏃‍♂️⚡️, with an feeling of urgency, you Not having time to waste/for rubbish, your quite serious & take life as such

The ease in which your legs lift up from the knees, is awfully similar to if you were wearing compression shorts permanently, look at how sprightly Mbappe is/runs for example & how/where his legs lift up from, very similar when walking not just running

The extreme magnetism/allure isn’t an joke, could make you uncomfortable if your not used to ignoring most people, as it attracts NPC’s & those with demonic entities at an alarming rate, almost trance/autopilot like, many movies describe this phenomenon

The hair texture change is fascinating, look how fine white Michael Jackson’s facial hair became, I think that’s his real hair aswell, looking how straight & like wire mines become

My intuition & extrasensory perception🧠📡has increased Significantly, think your aura/other dimensional body, very similar to Apples “haptic feedback” gives you cues in different scenarios, for example, if I’m sitting awkwardly compressing an nerve/circulation Ill get an light jolt/haptic feedback on the leg to fix it into an more accommodating position

Or if an neighbour is about to slam an door/stamp above me or some other attention seeking behaviour as my auras making them uncomfortable, I’ll get an haptic feedback ping💥either on my body or an scratch in that approximate direction just prior, researching & discovering that it’s something to do with thought energy being directed your way, think solid snake from MGS 5’s radar of when people are in your vicinity, I think Hideo Kojima’s “third eye” is definitely open

Upon an slight increase of heart rate/entering an sympathetic state, you emit some kind of sonar/inaudible sound, that has the weak, so most, on their best behaviour/under manners/shook, like what I imagine the term “yellow belly” from the westerns pertains to lol

Your “RAM/mental bandwidth” gradually increases, enabling you to not only process more information but to take in an lot more simultaneously through an increase in perception rate, which somehow slows down time, awfully similar to Messi to be milliseconds ahead, giving you extra time to spot micro expressions & an persons real intention within your presence, like an truth serum from Harry Potter

Manifesting is an interesting one as it’s definitely easier, although with the caveat of strong emotion, which celibacy/retaining limits, so in other words you really have to get into an emotionally charged state, normally negative I’ve realised to almost force the Gods observing to click their fingers & grant you that sale/money/or whatever it is you were pining for unsuccessfully

Been intermittent fasting daily since around 2018 but like many post pandemic there’s been days where I’m rationing/on limited food/fasting & your body becoming much more efficient, will somehow find the energy to allow you to get up & down like normally on little/no fuel, with an drop in performance but not as much as it you’d thought it be, managing to hang on until you refuel be it in 2/3/4/5 days after

There’s some many more I could include but I’m not writing an book lol…yet, so I’ll finish with some observations…

Theres constant car door slamming from randoms in the street as I enter their vicinity is something I’m still trying to completely figure out is Either NPC’s or demonic entities influencing people

Noticed there’s different but consistent types of haters/attention seekers; you have the “runners🏃‍♂️” who once they spot you, seem to run/jog past, some definitely in fear, something to do with them subconsciously sensing your power level like in DBZ an making an run for it🤭, others, something subconscious to do with displaying vigour

You have the “coughers”, seemingly the majority, who seem to cough loudly multiple times, passively aggressively for attention, completely ignoring them is an fave🥰

You have the “spitters”, somewhat Super haters, who passive aggressively/attention seekingly noisily draw up flem before spitting in an disgusted manner, those who spot you from an distance away, pretend to be looking down/be on their phone as they get closer, position in your path, so they can bump into you “accidentally”, say sorry & get your attention

Those who take an step to the side as you approach to let you pass, which at first glance looks like manners but then realise it’s an weak ploy to get your attention/an “thanks” as your not a 100 stone obese giant, theres loads of space on the pavement, you could walk side by side twice over

Those who momentarily stop somewhat starstruck & stare into your face, almost mesmerised, assuming they’ve picked up on your vibration⚡️, from what I’ve read

Those who will do an 180 from whatever direction they were going in & now pretend there were actually going in my direction lol

Those who try to match/beat your walking pace, as if we’re in the Olympics, those who purposely turn their backs towards you, as you approach, that I perceive as a sign of purpose disrespect/hate, especially when with women

Key quotes from books and deeper research II

Previous post.

“This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum. March forward hero!” Sivananda

All books and more can be freely downloaded here.

“and we promise you who peruse the thoughts hereinafter given, and follow carefully all their suggestions, that after two years of faithful adherence thereto you WILL NEVER BE SICK; YOU WILL NEVER NEED MONEY OR FRIENDS; WHATEVER YOU UNDERTAKE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL; YOUR MENTAL CAPACITY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS LONG AS YOU LIVE; YOUR DOMESTIC RELATIONS WILL BE VERY HAPPY, AND YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS; AND WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD THE PEOPLE WILL LONG REMEMBER YOU, AND BE THANKFUL THAT YOU HAVE LIVED.(…)

We ask you to make a study of this, and you will find that every immoral and vicious, or even dishonest, character arises wholly from an abnormal sex nature. The first step on the downward path is in the controlling influence of sex passion. That is why the ancient philosophers and Bible historians called it "The old serpent, the devil, and satan, that deceives the whole world."(…)

You should first decide in your own mind that you will not indulge that passion under any circumstances whatever. A complete decision of the mind is the battle half won for anyone, and for many it is wholly won, as the decisions of the mind enter into and control the dream state, but some have greater difficulty than others.(…)

but if it is allowed to dominate, it causes us to give our life for mere sensual gratification, and yet we are not gratified, but are deceived and disappointed, and our life is made a hell of vague imaginings, devoid of all reality or even ability to see and understand things as they really are.(…)

and added to it they will possess that "personal magnetism" which is so attractive, and which is really one of the strongest factors to insure success, even in a business way, and is in fact the main requisite to success for speakers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, and even salesmen. It has very often been remarked to me by young men who are living this life, that they have added power to attract the opposite sex: in fact, therein lies one of man's greatest dangers, viz. : in attracting to them persons who will use every means to ensnare them.(…) Young people who live this life will possess attractive powers so great that they can have their choice of a companion from any class of people.(…)

We have known some of the most marvelous mind powers to be gained through it: such as being able to read the thoughts of others; to foresee events; to perceive the most subtile forces in nature; in fact, we have had abundant reason to believe that every power possessed by those in the spirit world may be possessed by those who follow those instructions.(…) after they have kept the life for a month or more, they lose it, then will be very vividly realized what they have lost, and from the contrast they will know what they have gained.(…) The real ideal in the heart of a young woman is a strong man on whom she can lean, and into whose keeping she can commit her life, to be controlled, guided, and protected; one in whom she can live and love continually, and who has manhood enough to control himself and her in harmony with nature's laws. Could she find such a one she would worship him and pour through his organism all the wealth of her mind and power, thus increasing his powers in every direction, and especially supplementing his brain power, supplying all deficiencies.

1896 Practical methods to insure success

(Quick review: This short book mentions fasting, intermittent fasting, enemas, controlling the senses, cold showers, right posture and of course semen retention. What a shocking string of coincidences that we all stumble on the same set of practices, one connecting into the other.)

“the mean zinc content of the human prostate gland was 68-2 mg. Zn/100 g. dry wt., which is in considerable excess of zinc content in human liver, muscle, brain, testis or blood. These investigators state that the zinc present in the human seminal plasma is derived chiefly from the prostatic secretion.(…) Among factors which influence the production of semen in man and animals, hormones rank paramount in importance. The formation, output, and composition of ejaculated semen are the outcome of a concerted action of several endocrine organs, with the pituitary gland and the testicular interstitial tissue in dominant positions.(…)

1954 T. Mann Biochemistry of Semen

(Quick review: Very technical overview of the purpose, composition and chemistry of semen in both animals and humans. Over 70 years old, this book beyond a shadow of a doubt shows the knowledge was already there on many levels of the value of semen for the body.)

“What is the origin, the source, of this energy? After years and years of theory and discovery, modern physicists have arrived at the conclusion that what exists in nature is not palpable or solid matter as such. It is energy, energy that fills the entire cosmos, all space. Everything that exists is filled with unutterable energy, energy which takes so many forms. Everything that you see here, every force derives from that ultimate source of cosmic energy.(…)

Any sense activity or sense experience consumes a lot of prana. And the activity that consumes the greatest amount of prana is the sex act. Gurudev has put it very strongly: “It shatters the entire nervous system.” (…)

Brahmacharya is neither avoiding sexuality nor repressing sexuality. It is giving the go-by to sexuality so that the potential and the power of the sexual process can now be used for something so wonderful that sex pales into insignificance in contrast.(…)

But if the mind is diverted into higher things, automatically brahmacharya becomes easy. You can succeed in brahmacharya if the mind is totally taken up by something so wonderful, so big, it absorbs you and elevates you, and the mind is simply gripped by it.

Swami Chidananda The Role of Celibacy

(Quick review: A student of Sivananda, he became the man with the healing hand. The growing reputation of his divine healing hand attracted a rush of patients to the Sivananda Charitable Dispensary. This small interview goes into the spiritual and mystical benefits of celibacy.)

https://preview.redd.it/r66jdzk58u061.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0c648d88b4cfdbf924f97727c706a3320ce446b

A person lacking in self-restraint and self-discipline can never make progress in any worthwhile endeavour nor can he be of any service to the society. A society made up of such people is unable to make any material or spiritual progress. Such degenerated societies disintegrate in the long run.(…)

For attaining peace, brightness, memory, knowledge, health and Self-realisation, one should observe Brahmacharya, the highest Dharma, the highest knowledge, greatest strength. Of the nature of Brahmacharya is verily this Atma and in Brahmacharya it resides.(…) "It is a medical and physiological fact that the best blood in the body goes to form the elements of reproduction in both the sexes. In a pure and orderly life, this matter is reabsorbed. It goes back into circulation ready to form the finest brain, nerve and muscular tissues. This vital fluid of man carried back and diffused through his system makes him manly, strong, brave and heroic. If wasted, it leaves him effeminate, weak and physically debilitated and prone to sexual irritation and disordered function, a wretched nervous system, epilepsy and various other diseases and death. The suspension of the use of the generative organs is attained with a notable increase of bodily, mental and spiritual vigour." (…)

Ojas is the cause of attractive personality. If you see any person who is outstanding in his works, whose speech is impressive and thrilling, has lustrous eyes and a magnetic aura on his face and awe-inspiring (charismatic) personality, be sure that he has stored up Ojas in his brain. This stored up energy can be utilised for divine comtemplation and spiritual pursuits (Self-realisation).(…) a fine stream of cold water should be poured on the sexual organ. It tones and soothes the nerves of the genito-urinary system and stops nocturnal discharges. It also weakens the sexual desire.(…) Sublimation of sexual energy does not mean flowing the semen from seminal vesicles to the brain. There is no any duct of vessel through which semen could flow upwards towards the brain. Sublimation means diversion of bioelectric energy from sexual organs to central nervous system.

The Secret Of Eternal Youth

(Quick review: This short work mentions many of the quotes of sages, yogis and saints and research into the benefits of retention as well as explains how Freud was a sick fuck from a very early age and projected that onto the entire male population, i.e., he wanted to fuck his own mother and therefore brilliantly concluded that all men deeply in the subconscious do as well. A little projection maybe? Freud suffered from spastic colon, near continuous depressive moods, neurasthenia, homosexual tendencies, bad temper, migraines, constipation, travel phobias, death fears, heart irregularity, money phobias, infected sinuses, fainting spells and hostile drives of hate and murder and was a cocaine addict.)

“Mental development makes a child gradually set aside its infantile toys. After a while it does not want them again, and would not at any price wish to exchange its arduously acquired mental enjoyments for a return to the foolish playthings which amused it when it was ignorant. So will spiritual unfoldment make man gradually leave his playing, particularly with such things as were never meant for play.(…) Science and metaphysics, sociology and ethics, and philosophical and religious systems of all times are lightly touched upon, at a single point, for the purpose of substantiating the ideal and of proving its intrinsic value. In almost every direction evidence can be found in corroboration of the ideal of purity.(…) Nearly every one who is willing to face the evidence frankly and squarely will have to acknowledge that the ideal is based on a deep, solid stratum of universal truth.(…) Even the inherited tendency to their overproduction can be over come if it is not reinforced by ever new excitations. The infallible way is to lessen the erotic stimuli. As a result of this it becomes possible to utilize the vital elements of the blood constantly for the formation of the inner secretions", which enhance the development of greater physical and mental and spiritual power. (…)Scores of medical writers have already been quoted; and "the science of a thousand others . . . has affirmed that abstinence has never caused any disturbance to health."(…) Outstanding specialists have declared that with all the opportunity of long experience they "have no knowledge of any harm resulting from a pure and moral life" ; "have never found a man suffering from keeping himself pure" ; "have never observed a single instance of atrophy of the generative organs from this cause"; "have never seen diseases produced by chastity", and "are without proof of their existence."(…) Certainly, those who choose to remain animals will always have plenty of reason to doubt the existence of a path to regeneration and happiness, for it can never be found through the animal nature!(…) "When the dragon is conquered a valuable treasure, namely an enormous psychic energy, is liberated. "With this energy it becomes possible to climb toward the highest peaks of human and of superhuman attainment.(…)"The neophyte was taught that a conservation of the life energy and a refusal to expend it in generation . . . would vitalize and vivify body and mind and give spiritual powers.'"(…) That so many of the most advanced of the human race, independent of one another, in different ways, from different viewpoints, in different places and at different times, have come to the same conclusion, is in itself an indication that the ideal of purity is of universal scope.(!)

(Quick review: This Bible of celibacy goes in depth into all the topics talked about in this sub and in many posts: the benefits, the punishments, the research and doctors, the mind-body-soul connections, the ancient people, the women, the evolution of mankind and more. A great book for retainers and can be used for exorcism on coomers.)

The Psychotronic universe (a declassified CIA document)

(Quick review: This document is significant as it shows research done which finally brings, matter, energy and consciousness into a direct correlation, something that the Yogis have been teaching for a long time. And the reason it is important in this context is thousands of testimonies of retainers having “luck”, finding solutions quickly and more.)

“There are three main categories of chi. These are heaven chi, Earth chi, and human chi, and each of these three contain elements of yin and yang. In the heavens, also thought of as the sky, the universe, or space, an example of yin and yang is the moon and the sun. The moon is yin while the sun is yang. On the Earth, water is yin and earth is yang. In humans, women are yin and men are yang. (…)Initially, you should move your chi along the body's meridians. You do this by allowing it to travel in more or less straight lines from one point to another. Once you can do that, you can add a little control. For example, after you can do Grand Circulation, try moving the chi to your arm, then spiral it around clockwise as well as counterclockwise. You can also try varying its speed by moving it both quickly and slowly.(…) Keep practicing until you can extinguish the flame. If you want this technique to work, you need to keep your arm as relaxed as possible. If you use too much muscular force, the flame won't extinguish. This exercise will reveal how well you have learned to relax your body. Once you can consistently put out the candle, move back an inch or two. Keep practicing and keep moving back. As you progress, you may be able to extinguish the candle from about twelve feet or more away.(…) Once you have learned Grand Circulation and Environmental Breathing, you will be able to sense events based on their chi. This will give you an awareness of things that will occur in the immediate future. By practicing this skill regularly, you will be able to sense things further into the future.

Chi Gung Chinese Healing, Energy and Natural Magick by L.V. Carnie

(Quick review: This book showcases many of the Chi Gung techniques for moving and using energy as well as how to heal yourself and keep yourself strong. The possibilities with Chi – Prana are endless as we are essentially in an ocean of Chi and the knowledge of how to use it gives us many possibilities)

Taoism: "Man consisting of a trinity of spirit, mind and body, cometh forth from the Eternal, and after putting off desire re-enters the glory of Tao."

Brahmanism: "Man's inner self is one with the self of the Universe, and to that Universe and to that Unity it must return in the fullness of time."

Buddhism: "Man, fundamentally Divine, is held in the three worlds by desire. Purification from desire leads the man to Nirvana."

Hebrewism: "Man came into being through emanation from the will of the King, therefore is divine."

Egyptian: "Teaches the divinity of man, Osiris as his source."

Zoroastrianism: "Man is a spark of the universal flame to be ultimately united with its source."

Orphic: "Man has in him potentially the sum and substance of the Universe."

Christian: "Man made in the image of God-Body, Soul and Spirit-a Trinity."(…)

THERE is an automatic procedure within the human body, which, if not interfered with will do away with sickness, trouble, sorrow and death, as stated in the Bible.(…)

The blood supply to the claustrum is fulfilled via the middle cerebral artery. It is considered to be the most densely connected structure in the brain, allowing for integration of various cortical inputs (e.g., colour, sound and touch) into one experience rather than singular events. The claustrum has been shown to have widespread activity to numerous cortical components, all of which have been associated with having components of consciousness and sustained attention. This is because of widespread connectivity to fronto-parietal areas, cingulate cortex, and thalami. Sustained attention is from the connections to the cingulate cortex, temporal cortex, and thalamus. Crick and Koch suggest that the claustrum has a role similar to that of a conductor within an orchestra as it attempts to co-ordinate the function of all connections. (Wiki)

Any act, coming under the meaning of sin, retards or prevents the automatic action of the seed, which, if not interfered with, lifts up a portion (one-tenth) of the life essence (oil or secretion) that constantly flows down the spinal cord (a "Strait and narrow way") and transmutes it, thus increasing its power many fold and perpetuating the body indefinitely, or until the Ego desires dissolve it by rates of motion set in action by its inherent will.(…)

The fluid, oil, or marrow which flows down the spinal cord, comes from the upper brain, the Creator or Father, the "Most High," and 1s known in physiology as ovum, or generative seed-that life essence which creates the human form of corruptible flesh. In the Greek, from which the New Testament was translated, this marrow is called Christ, which is the Greek word for oil.(…) By this regenerative process millions of dormant cells of the brain are resurrected and set in operation, and then man no longer "sees through a glass darkly," but with the Eye of spiritual understanding.(…) It is from this claustrum that contains yellow substance within its outer grayish exterior, that the wonderful, priceless OIL is formed that Bows down into the olivary fasciculus, "descending with the rubro-spinal tract through the reticular formation in the pons and medulla to the lateral column of the spinal cord. It terminates in the gray matter of the spinal cord, probably giving off collaterals to corresponding nuclei in the brain stem."--Santee. This is the OIL, the precious gift of which the Bible speaks, "Thou anointest my head with oil." And not only is there oil manufactured within this · special laboratory of the brain, but there is actually an olive tree, which bears actual olives-so named in any anatomy. The two olives are two infinitesimal eminences on either side of the medulla, with the Pyramid between. (Interestingly, in Skyrim, to enter Sovngarde you first fight it’s guardian Tsun – named after the ancient god of trials – and then you pass a bridge looking like a SPINE into heaven) (…) We can also understand why draining of the vital fluid-living in excesses, will also produce baldness. If there were no oil in the body, the skin would become harsh and dry.(…) Moreover, you have hidden within yourself a magnet which attracts those influences which correspond to your will, and this celestial magnet is of such power that for more than a hundred, or even thousands of miles, it attracts that which you desire out of the four elements."(…) The pneumo gastric nerve, vagus nerve, that comes down from cerebellum across (a cross) the medulla oblongata branches out at the lungs {pneumo) and at the stomach (gastric), and is called "The Tree of Life" (thirteen letters), also pneumo gastric (thirteen letters). There are twelve mineral salts in the blood and blood . itself-the product-thirteen.(…) The oil or substance that flows down the plexus of nerves that branch off from the main nerve is deposited in the manger (the nun) or mouth of the fish, and forms a seed or fruit of the tree.(…)

1920 Carey God-man, word made flesh

(Quick review: One of the true Bibles of celibacy and transmutation, this book gives you the keys of unlocking the transmutational process in the Bible and thus in your body. It also shows you how masterful the writers of these stories were, as they understood it at such a deep level and were able to create powerful messages that work both directly understood or with their hidden meaning. The book brilliantly shows these connections and is priceless.)

“and to my surprise, author referred over 18 religions of the world. I am again very happy to learn what other religions around the world think about masturbation. (…) The References section now further strengthens what's written in this book and will help various curious souls to read and research further about this topic in various religions, different sciences, etc.(…) It increases the receptiveness and the processing power of the mind, and its ability to concentrate for longer durations at a stretch. It protects the body from internal and external adverse impacts. Internal impacts include protection from irregular food habits, irregular sleep patterns, etc. External impacts include protection from dust, pollution, harsh weathers, various forms of negativities, diseases, etc. It automatically bounces back any untowardness coming to it from anywhere. These are just basic ones to begin with.(…)

David Baldwin Why you should never masturbate

(Quick review: This book is a nice overview of the basics of semen retention and why you should not masturbate. It covers a broad scope of topics but does not go in depth as some other works do.)

https://preview.redd.it/phg3yuni8u061.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8ec41ed4143fed8484ecdb958c307ad573056a8

“all physical weakness could be overcome, and the exhausted vital forces renewed. Furthermore, the retention and reabsorption of the seminal fluids in the body, excepting only such as are used for purposes of procreation, the magnetic qualities as well as the mental ‘and spiritual powers of the individual are wonderfully increased.(…) undoubted fact that the richest elements of the blood are used in the distillation of the reproductive fluids, which, therefore, when reabsorbed, furnish the most perfect nutrition for the brain cells, nerves, and muscles, and in fact all the tissues of the body.(…) thus provides a more efficient instrument for mental work, and generates a store of personal magnetism which inevitably draws to the individual the esteem of the people he deals with, as well as every good thing in the universe.(…) instead therefore, of completing each other, neither has anything left to give the other. The result is first satiety, then repulsion, often ending in dislike if not positive hatred. (and isn’t that every modern relationship explained? )(…)The man that gains sex mastery secures unlimited assistance of the infinite God who is ready to help those who show by theirlife they are worthy of being helped.

1911 The science of sex regeneration

(Quick review: This short book is a nice overview of the powers and necessity of continence as well as marriage, life advice and some great stories.)

https://preview.redd.it/pg29n2tj8u061.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1366f269f95274f60dcd92de6818d1c12ceca89

“But continence is the foundation of all health. Sacred books of all religions extol its creative power and enjoin it as the cardinal virtue in spiritual life. For example, religious widows and spiritual aspirants, vowed to voluntary chastity and poverty, keep up generally a youthful appearance even in a ripe old age and live an unusually long life.(…) Dr. Nichols writes : "It is a medical, a physiological fact that the best blood in the body goes to form the elements of reproduction in both sexes. In a pure and orderly life this matter is absorbed and goes back into circulation ready to form the finest brain, nerve, and muscular tissue. This matter carried back and diffused through his system makes him manly, strong, brave, and heroic. (…)Continence makes the body strong, the mind healthy, the eyes sparkling, the cheeks shining and the face beaming with magnetic aura.(…) Continence increases infinitely the power of retentiveness and remembrance. Try to gain absolute mastery over thy sexual instinct. If one succeeds in doing this a physiological change is produced in the body by the development of a nerve known by the name of Medha, whose function it is to transmute lower energies into the higher. The knowledge of the Higher Self is gained after the formation of this Medha nerve.(Sri Ramakrishna)(…)

1943 Continence And Its Creative Power

(Quick review: This short book by a student of Sivananda gives a great overview of the fact that continence was practiced across the world by all the great men, groups and faiths. In just 90 pages it concentrates much of the key elements of our knowledge base: history, advice, practice, quotes from the giants, etc.)

“Instead of the popular fallacy that a young man is physically the worse for a clean moral life, the entire weight of the world's foremost medical scholars is unreservedly of the opinion that he is physically better for it. It is recognized by the highest authorities that continence is perfectly compatible with the most perfect health.(…) We allude to that subtle, powerful "something" which is known as "personal magnetism"-this is well known in actual experience, although it is subtle and so elusive that it is most difficult to describe. It may be said to consist of that peculiar personal "charm" which some persons have, and which others seem to lack.(…) "Those following these methods will have all the bloom of health, and in addition will possess that personal magnetism which is so attractive, and which is really one of the strongest factors of success even in a business way; it is, in fact, · the main requisite for the success of speakers, teachers, lawyers, doctors and salesmen. It gives a joyous happy feeling to body and mind: clears up the intellect so that one may readily understand the most abstruse subjects; it gives strength and decision of character and directness of purpose; a love of refinement, purity, goodness, honor, justice and morality; in every conceivable direction it adds to the capacity of mind and body; a process of growth which will steadily continue; we have never known anyone who could define the limits of the possibility of increase; we have known some of the most marvelous mind-powers gained through living the regenerate life; we have seen young men and women with pale faces, dim eyes, and poor health, begin a course of lessons on this subject, but before the course closed inside of three weeks, their eyes would grow bright and the color would return to their cheeks.

1922 Atkinson Beals Regenerative power or vital rejuvenation

(Quick review: This great work encapsulates this ancient knowledge and traces it through history and scientific knowledge of the early 20th century, before the full takeover of the Dark Brotherhood. It specifically analyses the glands, their secretions and why semen retention changes everything.)

“Countless fairy tales tell of a dragon which captures a beautiful princess and then keeps his pure and innocent prisoner captive in a castle. The poor princess, languishing in her gaol, weeps as she begs Heaven to send someone to save her. Knights gallop up to rescue her, but one after another they are devoured by the dragon, who seizes all their wealth and then hoards it in the castle cellars. (…)If, through ignorance, carelessness or weakness, man does not know how to make use of these combustible forces, he will find that, instead of being propelled towards Heaven, he will be hurled into the abyss or reduced to ashes.(…) What they do not know is that when they are dealing with sexuality which is purely physical, biological and egocentric, it produces on the higher planes all sorts of volcanic eruptions which give off thick emanations and coarse forms. These emanations have dull and murky colours, red is the main colour, but it is a dirty red. All these emanations are swallowed up by the earth or by shadowy creatures who are waiting to feast on these vital energies.(…) Without realizing it, each eruption takes away a little of their beauty, their intelligence, their strength, and then when all is spent, they end up ugly, stupid and ill.(writing comments on Reddit subs to sabotage the Light) If only there was a pair of scales in which you could put on one side what you had gained in tasting all these sensual pleasures and on the other side what you had lost by giving way, you would see that you had lost practically everything and gained practically nothing.(…) In Wagner’s opera ‘Parsifal,’ Parsifal comes to a meadow where he finds the young flower maidens who try to seduce him, but behind their flowers lurk snakes. This story (like many others in world literature) conceals great occult truths. Ulysses and Parsifal are both symbols of the Initiate who meets temptations on his path; if the Initiate stops, he will lose his life.(…) Without this high ideal, for a divine and perfect life, you will be broken in your struggle against the sexual force. Repression is no answer, because repression is just the refusal to give the sexual force its normal outlet without an ideal which works on the higher planes to sublimate this force.

Aivanhov Omraam Sexual force of the Winged Dragon

(Quick review: This short booklet of a Initiate explains in depth the more mystical aspects of love, relationships, sexual energy and transmutation. It shows the same truths but also goes much deeper into the occult significance of these Truths.)

"Many who are self-taught far excel the doctors, masters, and bachelors of the most renowned universities." Ludwig von Mises

All books and more can be freely downloaded here.

“he is inactive, indifferent, and destitute of energy. The lymphatic temperament is marked in him by his insensibility, his apathy, no less than by the delicacy of his flesh, and the whiteness of his skin. He has preserved from infancy the disposition given by feebleness, to be excited by the least cause: hence he is timid and pusillanimous and cowardly. Devoid of any internal feeling which renders the soul gay, he is morose and wearisome. He is destitute of those feelings which attach man to man and render one capable of attachment, love, and devotion. He lives, he vegetates only for himself: he is a perfect egotist: if he has any sentiments they are those of envy or hatred: in fact they are repulsive sentiments: but most frequently he has none or they are very slight. (…)

His intelligence is but moderate and he is never known to conceive or execute great ideas. This picture is not drawn from the imagination; it is the result of long continued observations at all periods, in all places, and upon all kinds of eunuchs. (…)

It is not uncommon to see onanists affected with a complete state of marasmus: their frame is reduced to a skeleton and presents in anticipation a picture of the state in which death will soon place them.(…)

In the morning he rises from his bed with difficulty: during the day he is idle, stupid, and indolent, and pursues his avocations without any spirit. If he goes up stairs, or ascends a hill, his heart beats forcibly, and he pants very much.(…)

Young men, who previously showed considerable vivacity of mind and aptitude for study, become, after being addicted to this habit, stupid, and incapable of applying themselves (…)

she had been in the habit of seeing boys from ten to twelve years old; that since she had returned home, she had had no opportunity, and had indulged in self-pollution. In vain did her parents try to wean her from this vice (…) But a horrid inclination soon appeared: she now desired to see her parents dead, and even to murder them.(…)

in a young man, twenty years old, who, indulging in these excesses for several years, gradually lost his mental faculties, became averse to even his relatives and dearest friends, and finally fell into a most perfect state of dementia. The relative frequency of this form of mental alienation in onanists has been pointed out in France by Esquirol, and in Norway by Holst. (…)

that the removal of one testicle from an animal, whatever may be its species, may produce atrophy, or some alteration in the lobe of the cerebellum, on the side opposite to the testicle removed.(!) (…)

Segalas, who produced erections of the penis in Guinea pigs, by introducing a stylet into the cerebellum, caused ejaculations by pushing this instrument into the spinal column, near the lumbar region. (…) he therefore concluded that the lower part of the spinal marrow acts on the secretory and excreting seminal apparatus, as the cerebellum acts on the genital sense.(…)

1839 Treatise on the diseases produced by Onanism, masturbation, self-pollution and other excesses

(Quick review: a big one with plenty of recorded cases and many observations from doctors, what’s important to note is at the beginning of the book it is stated that no one even denies the damage of masturbation, it was common knowledge (!!!) amongst doctors from all nations, groups, religions, the question is only how much damage can be done by it)

https://preview.redd.it/1hkg1hukf2s51.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=abedfe337cda0aab36e37fd485c3c27cb8c515a5

“Lower forms of sexual activity insult the Divine Shakti and obtain the Retribution of Nature. Nature assures that these "fall down to the nature of demons." (Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita) Basically, if you repeatedly break moral law concerning sex, your life becomes darker and less successful on all levels. Then one ends up becoming sexually perverted. Most human sorrow, and all human sexual perversion is the result of repeatedly breaking sexual moral law and indulging in illicit sex. On the larger front, a part of the process is that all of society becomes chaotic*, and Nature, itself, is violated. (…)

How the westerner dreams he is qualified to improve ancient dharma is a great mystery. Is it because we have nuclear waste? Or is it the "palm pilot?" Is it the holy automobile? Is it because of the sterile and dangerous hell-realms we call our cities? Is it because we have succeeded in destroying family and community? Is this superiority demonstrated by our marked consumption of anti-depressants? Our materialism? Are these what make westerners superior and able to "improve" the ancient dharma? Who knows.(…)

Earnest effort to know and practice the ancient dharma does bear real fruit. (…)

In the astral you can't hide your real state. Most men at night run all around the planes with erections on. (…) Realize that even a moderate Restrainer is bound for glory. And a serious Restrainer will naturally become a mogul, saint, or legend.(…) It is almost impossible to achieve celibacy if you drink any caffeine -- even a little bit. Westerners attempting celibacy are generally ignorant of this detail.(…)

All ancient cultures, where life moved slowly and people observed things, did not miss the fact that in the male orgasm something is lost and given up. They also did not miss the fact that this loss has a tremendous effect on the male.(…)

Since the orgasm has this negative effect on males, its avoidance has the opposite effect. By storing up sexual energy a man becomes stronger, healthier, and more vital. He becomes more ambitious too and creative in doing good. He becomes more patient and successful with people. And he develops stamina and endurance to see his works through to conclusions. So the sexually restrained male becomes more successful in general. Beyond that, he even develops occult power to influence things by sheer thought and will.

Bliss of the Celibate, Julian Lee

(Quick review: a short book but considered a Bible among celibates or semen retainers. Julian Lee, much like the Hindu saint Ramakrishna, sees the truth in all scriptures and goes deep into why the very nature of reality around you and indeed the world changes and would change if and when celibacy is adopted. The book is focused on the metaphysical and the cosmic, not the material, so if you are in for just studies and observations of the physical, might not be a book for you)

https://preview.redd.it/jduaaxmlf2s51.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=26406c954162dfbeb20660ae8a20591a8bba51b1

“This precious gift, so full of happiness if preserved in its natural purity and power, is one of the first means of promoting health of body and cheerfulness of mind; but if basely perverted, or destroyed, becomes a source of torture, misery, lingering disease, insanity and death. The perverse genius of man, misguided by sensuality, has in all ages been led to the most pernicious abuses of the sexual appetite, and to the most revolting refinement of sexual lust. These sexual excesses undermine health, shorten life, destroy the happiness of families, incapacitate the male from the noble office of procreating offspring, and deprive woman of her holy mission of bearing children.(…)

The nervous derangement in the female soon leads to a derangement of the digestive system. The patients grow thin. All sorts of spasmodic symptoms develope themselves, such as spasms, cardialga, chorea, epilepsy, catalepsy, convulsions, etc. All the former charms of the young woman leave her; her face looks sallow and thin; the skin is rough, dry, cracked, covered with freckles and pimples; the eyes look dim, the lips are pale and bluish, the teeth decay. A copious mucus is discharged from the vagina, corroding the thighs, groins, and perineum, and causing a most distressing hysteria. The internal organs become diseased; indurations and cancer of the womb develop themselves; and the patients either die of some such disease, or else pine away from debility.(…)

The most distinguished philosophers have ever looked upon the semen as the most precious secretion of the blood, having a striking similarity to the matter of the brain and nervous system, and have cautioned mankind, seriously and earnestly, against the waste of this fluid, as something fearfully ruinous to the mind as well as the body.(…)

Excessive use of tea and coffee likewise causes seminal losses. It is true that both tea and coffee act powerfully upon the kidneys, but their injurious effect upon the sexual organs is not yet proven, although a number of persons who were afflicted with seminal losses, have said that their trouble became much worse after the use of Tea and Coffee.(…)

In females this disease, if fully developed, presents a group of the most repulsive phenomena. Such patients sometimes lose all sense of shame, expose their persons, utter the vilest and most obscene speeches, and often resort to the most horrible means of self-gratification. (Boy if they saw us)

Many of these young men, notwithstanding their departure from correct morals in the original offence, might, if properly treated or advised, have escaped disease, and lived to form honourable connections in society, and to become good citizens and worthy men.

1856 George R. Calhoun Report of the Consulting Surgeon on Spermatorrhoea

(Quick review: This short report by a surgeon back in 1855 goes into great detail of the disease of masturbation as well as it’s consequences. It is clear that this was common knowledge by everyone but also the extent of ruined lives is clearly emphasized. The report is jam packed with info.)

“According to Yogic science, semen exists in a subtle form throughout the whole body. It is found in a subtle state in all the cells of the body. It is withdrawn and elaborated into a gross form in the sexual organ under the influence of the sexual will and sexual excitement. An Oordhvareta Yogi not only converts the semen into Ojas, but checks through his Yogic power, through purity in thought, word and deed, the very formation of semen by the secretary cells of the testes or seeds. This is a great secret.”

The most devitalising and demoralizing of pleasures is the sex pleasure. Sensual enjoyment is attended with various defects. It is attended with various sorts of sins, pains, weaknesses, attachments, slave mentality, weak will, severe exertion and struggle, craving and mental restlessness. Worldly persons never come to their proper senses although they get severe knocks, kicks and blows from different corners. The strolling street dog never stops from visiting the houses even though it is pelted with stones every time.

Eminent doctors of the West say that various kinds of diseases arise from the loss of semen, particularly in young age. There appear boils on the body, acne or eruptions on the face, blue lines around the eyes, absence of beard, sunken eyes, pale face with anaemia, loss of memory, loss of eye-sight, shortsightedness, discharge of semen along with urine, enlargement of the testes, pain in the testes, debility, drowsiness, laziness, gloominess, palpitation of the heart, dyspnoea or difficulty in breathing, phthisis, pain in the back, loins, head and joints, weak kidneys, passing urine in sleep, fickle-mindedness, lack of thinking power, bad dreams, wet dreams and restlessness of mind.

1934 Practice of Brahmacharya by Swami Sivananda

(Quick review: Swami Sivananda, a self realized saint who healed hundreds and authored over 200 books wrote this overview of the practice and vast benefits of true Brahmacharya. The book goes into many benefits and observes all topics of sexuality, traps of the mind, problems of the body and Sivananda's vision and advice to youngsters)

"continence per se can never do harm, but is always beneficial; and that when trouble occurs in an individual not practicing normal sex relations, the fault is not continence but some vicarious means of sex expression, excessive nocturnal emissions, etc. In view of the richness of the semen in lecithin, [1] cholesterol, phosphorus and other constituents of nervous and brain tissue it is clear that it is incontinence, or loss of these valuable nerve-nourishing substances which, by promoting undernutrition, is responsible for disturbed functioning of the nervous system and brain, and never true continence, contrary to the unscientific views of the psychoanalysts. (...)

  • 4. Observations of the immediate effects of the sexual orgasm indicate that it temporarily exhausts the nervous system, and when repeated too frequently leads to chronic nerve-weakness (sexual neurasthenia).
  • 5. Continence is beneficial to the brain (for conserved lecithin from retained semen is a true brain food). Hence some of the greatest intellectual geniuses in ancient and modern times led continent lives. These include Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, Spinoza, Newton, Kant, Beethoven, Herbert Spencer, etc.
  • 6. Recent physiological evidence, pointing to the fact that the seminal fluid contains substances of great physiological value (such as Poehl's Spermine, which is a nerve-stimulant, lecithin, cholesterin, vitamin E, male sex hormones, etc.) supports the idea that continence is beneficial to health, as do the experiments of Prof. Brown-Sequard on the vitalizing effects of testicular extracts and those of Prof. Steinach on the rejuvenation that follows the enforced conservation of semen through ligature of the efferent testicular duct.
  • 7. Leading physiologists, urologists, genito-urinary specialists, neurologists, psychiatrists, sexologists, gynecologists and endocrinologists endorse the physiological value of continence.

(...)

Among such authorities are Moll, Kraepelin, Marshall, Lydston, Talmey and others. Dr. Jacobson sent two hundred letters to professors of physiology, hygiene, venereal diseases, nervous diseases, neurology and psychiatry, inquiring as to their opinions concerning continence. All answers with few exceptions declared continence to be conductive to health.

Dr. Bernard S. Talmey, an eminent American gynecologist and authority on sex, expresses a similar opinion, and states that in the absence of sexually exciting stimuli, the semen and spermatozoa are produced in smaller amounts and are completely resorbed through the seminal vesicles, so that continence becomes easy and natural; the conservation of this vital fluid, he claims, is necessary for the attainment of the greatest vigor of body and brain (...)

Young bulls frequently faint away after the first connection with a cow, and it is very common to observe a young bull so exhausted that he sneaks off to a quiet corner and lies down for a couple of hours. Fainting, however, does not occur in dogs, for the dog's connection is prolonged and thus shock is avoided; also the dog has no seminal vesicles. In the case of the boar, the orgasm rises to such a pitch that the animal seems on the verge of pain, and is usually exhausted for several hours. (...)

Our insane asylums are now overfilled with the victims of thoughtless sexual indulgence which has withdrawn valuable nutrients from the brain and disordered its functioning. These pitiful individuals, when in possession of their normal brain-structure, never realized that with each discharge of seminal fluid, they are pouring forth the very substance of their nerves and brain, until a time is reached when their brain is so sapped of lecithin that it ceases to function. Measurements have shown an actual decrease in the lecithin content of the brains of the insane. (...)

Animals, like men, become perverted sexually and victims of an exaggerated sexual urge when they are subjected to artificial feeding and confinement. Thus apes, when confined to a cage and fed on meat and other sexually stimulating food, while previously gentle and tame on a fruit diet, become extremely licentious and vicious. Then they masturbate excessively and have intercourse daily, while the female consequently menstruates as freely as a woman. (…)

came across a child of nine who had three testicles and whose intelligence was far above that which is considered normal at its age. The parents, alarmed by the unusual characteristics of the child, had the extra testicle removed. Some months later the child's intellectual development underwent a regression, which brought it down to the mental level corresponding to its age. (...)

and when the concentration of brain lecithin is sufficiently lowered, insanity is the result. Sexual excess produces a similar effect; and, together with alcohol, constitutes a principal cause of neuropsychopathic conditions. (...)

There is evidence that spermatozoa, when not discharged, are resorbed into the blood-stream and carried to the brain. Both in their chemical composition and their elongated form, they have a remarkable similarity to brain-cells, which, like them, lack the capacity of reproduction, in contrast to most other cells of the body which have this capacity. The seminal fluid is distributed in all the nerves of the body; it seems to be of the same nature. (...)

"The loss of concentration of lecithin and phosphates becomes a serious drain on the nervous system. Lecithin and phosphates are the principal components in the structure of the brain."

1957 Science Discovers the Physiological Value of Continence

(Quick review: An amazing overview of the values of continence that begins with dozens upon dozens of doctors and scientists agreements on the topic. Coupled with all the other data, the conclusions are quite clear, but that typa a guy who always goes "whos gonna read this?" is the same typa guy who will say "where's the science bro? Where's the science?" Certainly not in the news.)

"When driven by this desire, men develop keenness of imagination, courage, will-power, persistence, and creative ability unknown to them at other times. So strong and impelling is the desire for sexual contact that men freely run the risk of life and reputation to indulge it. When harnessed, and redirected along other lines, this motivating force maintains all of its attributes of keenness of imagination, courage, etc., which may be used as powerful creative forces in literature, art, or in any other profession or calling, including, of course, the accumulation of riches. (...)

I discovered, from the analysis of over 25,000 people, that men who succeed in an outstanding way, seldom do so before the age of forty, and more often they do not strike their real pace until they are well beyond the age of fifty. This fact was so astounding that it prompted me to go into the study of its cause most carefully, carrying the investigation over a period of more than twelve years.

This study disclosed the fact that the major reason why the majority of men who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty, is their tendency to DISSIPATE their energies through over indulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex. The majority of men never learn that the urge of sex has other possibilities, which far transcend in importance, that of mere physical expression. The majority of those who make this discovery, do so after having wasted many years at a period when the sex energy is at its height, prior to the age of forty-five to fifty. This usually is followed by noteworthy achievement."

1937 Think And Grow Rich

(Quick review: This book that inspired so many people and led them to success has a chapter dealing with sex transmutation and/or using the urge for sex in a creative endeavour. The book mentions the obvious but also ties into the more "mystical" aspects of reality: the sixth sense and luck)

"Many people have told – and I also believe it – that I am full of energy and enthusiasm, and that I am by no means weak in mind; some even accuse me of strength bordering on obstinacy. Nevertheless there is still bodily and mental ill-health as a legacy of the past. And yet when compared with my friends, I may call myself healthy and strong. If even after twenty years of sensual enjoyment, I have been able to reach this state, how much better off should I have been if I had kept myself pure during those twenty years as well? It is my full conviction, that if only I had lived a life of unbroken Brahmacharya all through, my energy and enthusiasm would have been thousandfold greater and I should have been able to devote them all to the furtherance of my country’s cause as my own. If an imperfect Brahmachari like myself can reap such benefit, how much more wonderful must be the gain in power – physical, mental, as well as moral – that unbroken Brahmacharya can bring to us.

Selected writings of Mahatma Gandhi

(Quick review: In this book, Gandhi mentions his Brahmacharya and the immense benefits it provided him that were recognized by those around him. Though he was not a muscular, big man, he nevertheless showed immense strength and endurance, courage and charisma)
