"Your body is your temple" I heard and read this saying among many great masters in history, from spiritual and iluminated personalities to artists and philosophers. This was corrupted by the consuming over erotized and pornographic images that surrounded me since 9 or 10 years old, when adult tv started apearing in my friends houses, and soon after that, internet and easy access to unlimited adult material on the web. I am almost 30 now, and even though my physical body still reacts well to human encounters, most of the time Im thinking more of returning into porn and fantasy, than finding excitement in real encounters, where you can manage to exchange real feelings and give something to the other person. I've always had this big struggle between a really high interest in the good, the moral, the spiritual, and at the same time, a terrible and inevitable falling in this dark vacum of images and egoic sexuality, where time is lost, will power debilitated, falling in monthly depressions, avoiding reality and my true dreams. I want to restore my temple. And I feel so grateful that this place exists. I am taking this challenge together with you, with real people, accepting that without brotherhood, Its almost impossible to reach the healthy goal. I've tried so many times alone, and I failed. I've always been inspired by templars, in wich together they were stronger, living truthfully and working to reach higher goals together, with the help of their brothers. Many times they were thiefs, lyers, sinners, drunks, who turned in and wanted to be initiated by the Templar Order. Because they "rebooted" their past errors, now being a new person, also anonymous, with the help of the others aspiring a common goal. Thanks so much for this place where one can persuit a full restoration of The Temple, with the help of brothers and sisters. I hope I can be helpful for others too. I'll try my best. All the best, strength, serenity, and blessings for us all, T.
Welcome to NoFap, Templarius. I started this journey almost 3 weeks ago and it has been the best decision I've made all year. Start a journal and put down your thoughts daily. You'll find this place can come through in ways you never thought of. You can turn to people on these forums if you ever need someone to help you get through some tough times. Keep fighting the good fight!
Thanks for giving strenght. Blessings and thanks for the advice. I will look at the journal and maybe start with it today. All best, T anks
