Spiritual effects of porn (if any)?

    I don't believe in any particular religion, but I suspect there might be a God and spirits based on things I have seen.

    I suspect there might be spirits that attach themselves like parasites to people who PMO. Maybe it's all in my imagination, but it seems like that sometimes.

    Can anybody relate to this?

    A reading of Dante's great epic poem is helpful in this matter. Effectively, it's written, like all poetry, as if we were embodied spirits. It's when we view ourselves from this more first-person existential perspective, which transcends reason [or is more immanent], that a lot of our inner emotional life starts to make sense. All moral philosophy, ethics, and religion rise on the crucial perception and reality of virtue and vice. In a way, we can thank the trauma of an addiction to wake us up to this fact.
     
  5. Interesting read thank you

    Given spirituality’s description of how when I man can conquer lust, this is a prerequsite for many types of beginnings, an opposite might be being entranced by ‘something’ else that has worked its way into one’s mind.

    Hmmm. I guess this is one of the possibilities that bothers me about PMO addiction.
    - Sometimes I have dreams that are not sexual but express a disdain for life and human values. Those dreams seem to be coming from outside me. I wake up and feel so depressed by having dreams that say that my values are illusions.
    - Once I decided to abstain from sex and alcohol, and two weeks later all kinds of strange quasi-spiritual things began to happen. One hypothesis was that a parasitic spirit was angry that I was no longer feeding it with sex and alcohol and trying to punish me. IDK

    Is that good or bad to have a low frequency? I assume it must be bad. IDK

    Or the two go hand in hand. A lot of medieval Christian art, in the old tradition, effectively worked to sublimate eros into something nobler.... until the Puritans wrecked everything.

    One of the first revolts against truth. Regardless of whether or not medieval Christianity was perfect or not in the ways the people turned to it, it itself was Traditional. Therefore the messages like we see on eros and sensuality can be examined and understood, if correctly very important for us.

  12. I suppose if you gaze at a sublime artistic image of a gorgeous model, nude or not, and worship God who produced her and nature, then your state of mind will attract angelic beings. And if you're in a dark and lustful mood, you defile nobility, sacred and otherwise, in that same image, by seeing her as just a sex object, then your state of mind will attract lower astral beings. That is why when I come across a beautiful woman during the day, my attitude is 'soul first, body last'. It keeps arousing turbulences from building up and so I can continue my day in peace.

    Intereseting. I actually started to experience the opposite of what you Think. When I no PMO then there are some spirits making themselves known and also harassing me, and I even had some typical possesions of my body. So of what I noticed the spirit World seem interested in no PMO persons and no PMO actually works as a behind the scenes look of this World, I Think.

  14. The word spirit and spiritual means different things to different people but, the way i view it is having a sense that you are accountable to a power greater than yourself as opposed to believing that you and you alone are the power.
