Life has become easier for me. noticeably less stress, and that's something i have worked to reduce for decades. i have always made progress, off and on, but a quantum leap recently since I started Iam meds
The nature of time has changed for me. Work day doesn't seem so long anymore. I actually appreciate work sometimes. Time seems to go by even quicker than before, but easier, and I don't mind. I'm not worried about anything. I want to get rid of a lot of material possessions.
I've always had a strong sexual urge and felt there was something spiritual involved but didn't know how to implement it. not having orgasms helps
accelerate the practices greatly.
In the past I always felt the need to release sexual energy periodically because i didn't know what else to do with it, and i didn't like the way I acted when it built up. i would find myself staring inappropriately, or making comments about how beautiful some woman is when my intellectual friends were describing her academic achievements, etc.
So now I feel so much better that I can put that energy to a good use.
I think people can sense increased prana and are attracted to it.
Combine this with losing all "need" for anything from others, and it's
a recipe for people liking you more.
Speaking of transending goal oriented actions, in one Castaneda book,
his guru the sorcerer Don juan had him perform long actions that had no purpose at all. I tried it too, and it really changes the way you look at things. For instance, for a week I would not do anything for personal enjoyment; only essentials. Then one week whenever I had personal time I tried doing actions that had no goal, or "enjoyment". it helps see yourself better.
Jim, didn't you mention in another thread that your K had risen? What differences have you noticed from that? Mostly inner acceleration, or?
