    Day 14.
    I'm doing a lot of activities, but due to the nocturnal emission I have less energy and I don't sleep well.
    What we are doing is worth it. Stay strong, my fellows!

    I leave you some verses of a famous spanish play, which I recommend you all: La vida es sueño (Life is a dream), of Calderón de la Barca.

    "Que estoy soñando, y que quiero
    obrar bien, pues no se pierde
    obrar bien, aún entre sueños."

    "That I'm dreaming, and what I want
    act well, because it is not lost
    act well, even between dreams."

    And from the same author, in El gran teatro del mundo (The Great Theather of the World), there are some verses that are repeated continuously:

    "Ama al otro como a ti,
    y obra bien, que Dios es Dios."

    "Love the other as you do,
    and act well, that God is God."

    In spite of everything, we have to want to act good, because that way we will be good and save our souls with the grace of God. We can fall infinitely many times, but in all we have to get up and act good. The only thing that matters in this life is to win the future life. This life is only a dream of the future life.

    "¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí.
    ¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión,
    una sombra, una ficción.
    Y el mayor bien es pequeño,
    que toda la vida es sueño,
    y los sueños sueños son."

    "What is life? A frenzy.
    What is life? An illusion,
    a shadow, a fiction.
    And the greatest good is small,
    that all life is a dream,
    and dreams are dreams."

    Sts. John of the Cross and Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us!

    One more day heading South dear Fellowship :)

    Let´s welcome our new member:

    @Toni7

    Have a great day my brothers. Continuing with Soaring Eagle ;)

    "Some brothers would ask, what is the difference between withdrawal symptoms and repeated phenomenon. What these two have in common is the bodily symptoms that are present in both cases, but there are still differences such as:

    Withdrawal symptoms would normally appear after a month of rebooting. Some brothers would not have any issues before rebooting but would run into symptoms after having started to reboot. After rebooting the righteous qi of the body is starting to recover, latent illnesses will naturally make an appearance, persist in rebooting and the symptoms will slowly vanish. Some brothers don’t understand withdrawal symptoms and would panic when they appear, they would think that it is due to refraining too much, the result is to sink back into the trap of masturbation and unable to pull oneself out. Therefore, to be successful in rebooting, one must establish the correct understanding, otherwise, the only failure awaits.

    The lag of repeated phenomenon, on the other hand, is very large, some people would experience it 3 months into rebooting, for some it would occur half a year after rebooting, for others repeated phenomenon would show up a year later. The occurrence of repeated symptom is very normal, according to my research, many brothers would encounter it after having a nocturnal emission, or following staying up at night, fatigue, long sitting, anger, unhealthy diet patterns, having a cold and other reason would all induce repeated phenomenon. This principle is in reality very easy to understand, when your kidney qi has not yet been cultivated into abundance, nocturnal emission and other poor living habits would all have a damaging effect on the kidney qi, the repeated phenomenon will then occur very easily. Another reason is the turn of the seasons, this is because the level of yang qi in the body differs in every season, normally, the turning of the seasons is the time prone for repeated phenomenon. When the phenomenon appears do not worry, take care to rest for a couple of days, sleep early, keep a light diet, symptoms will slowly disappear."
