The Unequivocally Uncanny Understory of Undressed Undines Unified, Unimpeed by Unimpressed University Undergrads Underwhemed by the Unwet Underwear They Uncover

In response to someone arguing against the Taoist practice of semen retention, citing the oft-heard but never-explained Western understanding of the phenomenon: "you gotta clean out the pipes, or it's like, bad for you." That's the standard refute for the branch of Taoist sexual kung fu, an art and practice that has been passed down over millennia and filled the pages of numerous textbooks.
Well I mean when you think of it it's actually quite logical if you can, for a moment, dip your metaphorical toes into the metaphysical world. What's the ultimate act of creation for a human being? Procreation - making another human being. For that to occur, the creative juices need to be flowing. Literally. If they aren't, then Jimmy ain't never getting a little brother.
On a personal level, creative juices need to flow within oneself. People think the two things are separate - sexuall procreation and personal imaginative / artistic creation - but they really aren't. Y'know that satisfying "ahhh," feeling that you get when you've really hammered the last nail into a song or an art project and you just know it's done? It's like a release, something from within you has successfully taken root outside of you and it can now grow on its own. Ususaly at this point you'll have no more desire to keep correcting or adjusting your work because it's created. It may never be "done" but you can rest in the knowledgethat it's a complete thing that will continue to take shape and grow alongside other people's interpretations.
This is elucidated quite well by a rather obscure approach known to the Taoists and many Tantrics as Sexual Kung Fu, which sounds hilarious but it is considered science among them and you can generally see the truth of it if you look (and through my own experiments I have verified everything I've tried)Well I mean when you think of it it's actually quite logical if you can, for a moment, dip your metaphorical toes into the metaphysical world.

In most people, as you can see quite obviously, the channels correspond with gravity and tend towards a downward flow which culminates in a heating sensation around the dan tien (near the genitals)
This is what people typically call being horny. Your creative juices, so to speak, aren't flowing. To get your creative juices flowing is to eliminate the stagnation that most people experience on daily basis, as in to harness the sexual/creative energy and, through various techniques I won't get into here, activate the channelsto to allow the flow of energy to stimulate the cerebral center.
This can happen spontaneously, or in response to seeing a beautiful movie or walking in the woods and is typically called inspiration. Learning to work with your creative juices instead of letting them control you (again, this sounds absurd, but ask people who struggle with masturbation addiction what they do when they stifle the urge. If they have a creative hobby, they'll almost inevitably engage in it)
To bring this all around back to music production... I am currently dealing with an addiction myself to speed. I have ADD and my doctor cut me off my medication last year leading me to self-medicate which got out of control. Anyone who has been on an amphetamine binge knows the temptation of starting a fap sesh, and also knows that those fap seshs inevitably extend into the wee hours of the morning and only end when your level of "dude, wtf" overrides how high you are
However after breaking up with my gf last year, as well as being a fairly regular practitioner of all this sexual kung fu shit, I decided to try full-on abstinence; not just no sex but no fappin at all. That's how I ended up here in this subreddit. The nightly 5AM fap sessions became nightly 5AM study sessions for FL and Ableton and I learned toreconize the feeling of those creative juices and how the ones that I can shoot out into a paper towel or into an ovum are the exact same ones that I can shoot out through my imanagnative faculties into a DAW and both can either produce a dud or create something amazing that grows and thrives.
TLDR:; Old Chinese people made music with their sperm and then ensured that anybody who tried to translate their discoveries would sound absolutely bonkers. Nonetheless I've spent the last year and a half using my creative juices to nurture my music rather than piling the trash bin up with paper towels each filled with enough potential to populate an entire universe and, instead of having nothing to show but 1200 hours of relentless fapping I've actually - quite literally - transmuted that sexual energy into 1200 hours of practice and self-study of music production

Releasing Global Judgment

Image
The next step for many of us seems to be detaching from the judgments that we have placed upon the world, upon society, and upon others. This is the only logical step because the truth of the matter is that when we judge another we're really just judging another facet of ourselves. That's for a different discussion though. Who of us haven't found ourselves gawking in disgust, horror, or anger at the news? Who hasn't at least had a passing thought about how they hate war, about how things are so terrible, or about how evil the people perpetrating these atrocities are? If we didn't at least some anger toward the things happening world, well, we'd be pretty darn apathetic. But now it's time to let these judgments pass, for that's all they are. Judgment only serves to further separate us from others - even a so-called 'justified' judgment, such as claiming that we're better than someone because we'd never do the same things as ...

Releasing the Mind & Body

Image
It usually hurts to release something. Getting rid of something - a habit, an emotional trait, a belief - almost always hurts because it feels like you're trading  something for nothing. No matter how healthy or unhealthy the behavior or habit is, be it an addiction or a tendency to smile when you see birds, releasing anything can be tough because, at least for a moment, you feel like you have less than you did before. One trades the sensation of fullness for the sensation of being empty. For this reason, many have a hard time 'letting go' of things like unhealthy relationships, addictions, or habitual behavior. After a time, they begin to identify with it and tend to protect or deny it. The important thing to recognize here is that releasing something creates room for an infinite multitude of possibilities. Sure, when you release something, you're left feeling like an empty void. In that void, though, lies the unlimited and unmanifested potential of your min...

A Devolving Culture

BREAKING NEWS: Humanity rapidly devolves into a primitive herd mentality, completely suspending free speech and critical thinking for fear of being exiled from the global community Perhaps the most disappointing and concerning experience I had this week during my trip to Fairy Creek actually had very little to do with the protest itself. Rather, it was a confrontation that I had with two local seniors who combined forces in n effort to both belittle me and validate one another's fragile and baseless worldview. Most likely you've all seen how quickly out of hand arguments can get on controversial Facebook posts. Trolls, as they're called, tend to spew unfounded claims, accusations, and senseless drivel. Uninterested in having a productive conversation or learning anything new, their sole purpose is to assert a single, rigid viewpoint and shove it in as many people's faces as they can, even when their claims are disproven, their 'facts' are corrected, and their a...
