Hi Emiil, I've missed your clips there, a little bit.
Thanks man. Trying to make the YT thing work for me :P
@@EmilIllum It's like listening the voice of coscience, watching your videos, so those have a great value, at least, for me. Thanks Emil.
Liam Neelson is that you? From the movie Taken…you sound just like him.
The return of the king. I literally can’t even imagine what you’re going through with not being able to see your son. So I appreciate you for taking the time to share how the process is going. It’s a very noble and necessary thing that you’re doing. A boy needs his father :)
Changes do take time and we need patience it's very important. Thanks for another one Emil!
Do you have a wife or girlfriend mate? How to avoid wet dream? How do you practice sr if you have a partner?
Tricky being a parent! How far away does your boy live? Is it not an option for him and his mum to move to your city? Good on you for wanting to live closer to your son. Quality/regular father/son time is important (that said, I grew up without a father so your son's current situation is better than mine was - but still, a stable regular routine would be best if possible - every second weekend will feel like an eternity for a three-year-old). Difficult to move when your body feels bad every time you go back to where you used to live though, and when you love your apartment. But good on you for being willing to make the sacrifice, your boy deserves it 🙂 All of the best in finding a new home that you will love. Sometimes we have to feel the fear and do it anyway!
It's a 40 minute drive, so it's too far. But I'll make the change! Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Brother. Feeling inspired to meet the silence. Takes some bravery to break the cycle of escapism, but you’re right. The mind’s natural tendency is to settle, if only we stick through that initial storm. Big decision. It seems like a hard problem to solve. Still, certainly easier than fixing all the things that weren’t actually the real problem. Good to have you back here. Hope to see you soon again !
Welcome back 🙂 I also haven't uploaded a video in almost a month. Taking a break is good sometimes. Posting weekly can get repetitive and it's easy to over-share. Sometimes it's good just to do life, and process things in our own sweet time. Then come back when we are feeling refreshed and have more to share with the world 😊 I'm only 3 minutes in to your video but will watch the rest when I have time✌
It's interesting... I have seen two other UA-camr's in the past two days who have announced that they are taking a break. End of the day we are humans not posting machines. We all need to step back for a reboot and refresh sometimes 🙂 It would be unhealthy not to!
Missed you!!
Thanks brother! Feels good to upload a video again
Interesting energy proposition as an internal dynamic or dynamo
Emil, you’ve got such a perfect audiobook voice my man 😎
The obsession with semen retention is very strange to me.
Wym by that ?
Goofy
Without doing nothing, I scare people like you. No joke.
@@exelmans8855 who?
Semen retention causes denseness to the body internally externally and in the middle which is the onĺy invisible denseness.U learn to zip by making all the muscles in the body alligned and u create technìque by imitating martial artists famous or not and u will have the annointment of soleman,noah and abraham as long as u also have a connection with god.A bit of advice for anyone starting semen retention,it took me 2 years to understand this with trail and error,luckily for me i did this with hardcore definition its just time to reap the rewards for this methodology.Keep up the good work elium the viking stance and trend is always gonna be in ur DNA dont forget use it the best way u can.🏔🐺
UA-cam hasn’t been recommending your stuff to my Feed for some reason, it might be worth putting out posts from time to time to remind us of new videos here & there👍 Also a question, if you were to release while you sleep, does this reset the streak or can you continue it as normal?
The algo can be weird some times. Even posts don't reach all subs. That is a question you have to answer for yourself. There are two camps when it comes to this question. Ask yourself what you are trying to achieve 🙂
@@EmilIllum Honestly I’m just trying to achieve the longest streak possible. I’ve gone 64 days, now it’s 14 after the natural release. Havnt relapsed on my own accord. So, If my body is to release when I sleep (releases naturally), Would my streak be broken? I personally didn’t even feel any different the next day, if anything to this day I’m even better than what I was since then👍
@@BASELINEOP I think a WD is only a relapse if you try to make it happen consciously or unconsciously. But if you fantasize or look at women all the, you have already relapsed in your mind and there was no "streak" to begin with. It starts and ends in the mind. But sometimes a wd might occur while purifying your life and I think these are fine.
@@EmilIllum Great response bud, makes a lot of sense. You’re a great teacher on this stuff, onwards & upwards man 💪
@@BASELINEOP thanks brother!
Thank you🙂
My pleasure ✌️
9 hours 20 mins! 😱😱😱 Beautifully read. I have no idea what half of those words mean 🤣
@@timmogreen6849 thanks man! Learned a lot of new words in this book
@@EmilIllum A lot of big words there. You did excellent. Thanks man 🙂
Im five months deep, I experienced a spiritual awakening two weeks ago. But now I’m dealing with the mental and still trying to unfuck my brain in a sense. I’ve got to do inner work to allow that energy to elevate to the top chakra, great video
Respect 🙌 Are you trying to unfuck your brain from the spiritual awakening?
@@EmilIllum not from the spiritual awakening, more so from the dirty minded thoughts and impulses. With so much testosterone inside me, either I channel it to something productive or my mind just wanders into the temptations and I find myself there quite often sometimes. That’s what I mean by unfucking my brain or retraining it. Fully cleaning it from all the xxx videos I’ve watched and pop in my head when I see an attractive girl.. I know for me that’s the next thing to work on.
Any tips for that?
@@ignacioespinoza952 the answer is time my friend. Keep doing what you're doing! It will take 1-2 years to rewire your brain to be disgusted by porn again. You know what to do, I can tell. Just keep going.
👍👍
I'm at day 5 propably, not only from retention but even from edging, and yes peace and a more clear mind come, but within a lot of energy, and how to dealing with that it's a problem, but a blessfull one. Expecially on the legs and on the back. Thanks Emil.
The energy has to be transmuted into other things. That's the entire idea. But yes, a nice problem to deal with indeed!
I tried just recently the long one was 82 days..now I am on day 7th...
@@ronesmagalhaes I once was upon 6 months, but after I've fall. Today after 7 days in certain emotional conditions lustful thoughts restarts again, but I've not relapsed. Anyway the conditions and our inner emotive state is a key, but also the weather and how we perceives the thinghs outside. Propably the best way is giving porpouse to that energy how Emil says here in the channel.
Do you want a trophy?
You sound goofy and weak.
read that book!Its a good one!!
Very powerful book!
Wow thanks 👍🏻
@@Oakdieu Enjoy! 😁
Your commercial before this is werid. But anyway. I got side tracked. I admire you. I can't join but can share? I will share this video with my playslist. Carbs are just cheaper, and that is why people eat them more than just meat. But I like meat. Yummy. It is just very expensive in my country.
Carbs are cheaper for sure!
@EmilIllum my favorite food is steak. But I don't get to eat it cause it cost way too high in the United States. I mean for the common people it is too expensive. I really very much appreciate your kindness. I never met anyone from Denmark, and it is so exciting that you talk to me. I appreciate your kindness.
@@juliewilson4847 most danes are kind but also very reserved. It takes a while for a dane to trust and be comfortable with a stranger ✌️
Semen Retention is about a wholistic life experience. Our diet, exercise, habits, values, social connections etc all play a part. I like how you highlighted a person who goes on a long streak to brag about it. That would be a gross misrepresentation of the beauty of what SR truly is. Thanks for your wonderful honesty 🙂❤
Thanks Brett! Gonna be making more SR videos soon brother. It's about time 🔥 And thank you so much for becoming a member ❤️
@@EmilIllum You're welcome buddy... you are the man! I will be eagerly waiting to see your new SR videos. Keep them coming! Much love 🙂❤
Thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to try it for a while but I keep cheating because I have a little carbs...I see now that this might make it harder than it needs to be. This is motivating me to try it again for real.
Yup, just a few carbs will open the floodgates 😄
Hi Emil, here in Italy I've aways struggled with carbs, at cause of our Mediterranean culture, but never with Meat, but offcourse not everyday, I've find the right balance in certain ways, anyway I've find a strong difference between red and white meat like chicken for example. My body and minds anyway need meat once at weak minimum. But carbs, like pizza, could be oppressive, exactly how edging on no fap, I've witness That, despite my love for pizza.
On carnivore you need 80% fat and 20% protein. Chicken is way to lean. It needs to be fatty cuts of red meat. I've also connected a few dots when it comes to carbs and pmo. Cheers!
You are exactly right my friend. It's all about action and following the life of Jesus. Loved your sincerity and honesty. No one has all the answers. But we have to keep trying. Matt 7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. The opposite is not doing Matt 7:26.
So much wisdom in the bible 🙏
Felt you were speaking right to me with this one. Even though my Pa always told me to “finish whatever I started”, I seem to have a habit of NOT doing said thing. I appreciate the message, Emil!
I find it's difficult to commit these days. So many options to master something new with knowledge from online sources. Thanks for watching Nadji ❤️
Halo Emil, may I know which country you are?
I'm from Denmark 😉
Day 22. I don’t feel any benefits
@@DR-uf5rj retention is the return of normalcy. Now do something with your life my friend. It's not magic.
Need help !!!! I have a gf and I made a choice to retain I don't if she's gonna be okay with that Will only use it for procreation other than that hell no I just want to be pure and spiritually stay connected to God (Higher-self)
Talk with your partner and tell her how you feel. If you want to try to retain for a longer period you should include in the journey. If she truly loves you, your relationship will only flourish from periods of retention. Rome wasn't built in a day my friend. Be careful to throw your life away because you think retention will change everything. It's a piece to the puzzle. You guys could try karezza or something like that, or just tell her you want to try 30 days semen retention and that you need her support. It's a process with or without a partner.
@@EmilIllum thanks Will do that exactly
Hy, Emil how many days are you on the streak of SR?
@@ronesmagalhaes around 2 weeks brother
@@EmilIllum Emil I am with you, we can go far...be strong 💪💪
Thanks brother. Excellent advice once again. We do need to trust the process and be patient. It takes time. For me, the cycle of pleasure seeking has been going a long long time and its gonna take time to get out of that cycle. I like your idea of compounding the little successes over time to create something great. If we start with small things, it is not too daunting. Keep your wisdom flowing to us. Thankyou 🙏🏻🙂
It's always good to see you, authenticity comes through the screen.

Hi Emil, nice to meet you there. I've followed your clips and videos in those last months and bro now I've finally wrote to you there. Thanks, cause you're helping a lot of us there with this channel, we'll, surely me. Sometimes I see my past life, how I've becomed disillusioned and deluded by life and circumstances and in this Great emptiness I fell so cold like that I'm already death Inside, anyway those your videos are like having little breaths of fresh air.

Thanks brother ❤️
how far along are you? i keep relapsing every two weeks :/
Not really sure. I don't really count these days. Somewhere in my second week I think.
@@EmilIllum You said things get going around 3 weeks so imma try to get to that.. Thanks for mentioning that.
I've also been slacking and not even been attempting to retain for the past couple of months. But i'm ready to get back on a good streak. One thing i've noticed clearly is that when i'm not on SR and watching the sites regularly, i'm just not in as good a mood as i am when im on a streak. Like its a big difference. On a streak I feel motivated, excited about things and just more optimistic. Anyway, do you have any tips on how to get through the first 2 weeks? I find these the hardest then it becomes more normal.
feel you man. I'm about the same age as you and I also feel like I'm entering a new chapter, not just bc of turning 30 but just a feeling like this time around is different. trying and failing at these things so many times has been exhausting. The ego makes you think "oh everyone else does it so whatever, I'll give in" but that's the mold we have to break. its hard to set yourself apart but the rewards are for sure worth it. commenting to hold myself accountable, and hopefully some of you can comment under here to hold yourself accountable as well. Thanks Emil, keep up the content<3
It is all progress in my mind. Progress is not linear and just the fact that you try to care for yourself by making changes, and build yourself a future sets you apart from many others. I'd suggest educating yourself on sr and nofap science. Deep dive and gain knowledge. This will make you understand what you are trying to do on a deeper level so that willpower is only needed for the first few weeks to kick the physical habit. From there it's about wisdom and discernment. Good luck brother.

Not far into the video. But what about healthy addiction? As an example, exercise can be addictive in its release of serotonin. You talk about replacing addictions with other unhealthy addictions, I wonder if there are more healthy addictions to replace them
Yes, you are right. That is a very important point I should have added to the video. I guess I just wanted to focus on the pattern of pleasure seeking. But replacing them with better habits is a great strategy! 🙏
