OF THE
TIMES
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.

Sorry, couldn't resist ...
For someone who has suffered something similar (only once, for a few short days (and nights) when all of day-to-day life came to grinding halt) I can vouch that 14 hours would not be an overstatement. For me it was not a question of masturbation, more as harmless curiosity and "I wonder what that would be like" which quickly spiraled into an unstoppable obsession which carried on hour after hour after hour... a few days later, I felt like a changed person, unable to look at the world again with innocence, with hollow empty sad regretful eyes... Maybe kind of like how Adam and Eve felt, suddenly acting sketchy and paranoid in Paradise, trying to cover their sin with leaves, or lovely ideas, or make-do materialism.
It truly not only damages the brain, but many other aspects of one's life: socially one feels like walking around the field whilst knowing that the referee has the red-card held up over one's head; emotionally one becomes desensitized, the problems of the world just aren't thought about, the sense of justice evaporates; instinctively one feels traumatized and pented up anxiety: no one saw you, no one knows, nevertheless, there is a rotten decaying that is eating one up from the inside. I was not into masturbation, so it was all boiling away and festering in my psyche... I think that by 'releasing' that tension, perhaps oneself is 'relieved', but only to plant and scatter those infernalized 'seeds' into the environment, for others to pick up on or stumble over... A few days later, I discovered that one of doormen at the residency where I was staying (who always did the vampire night shift) happened to be a long-term porn addict, and that was his bread and butter of daily life (or nightly life, in his case)... It makes me consider that these vices are more contagious than we would otherwise care to think.
Pornography fills the space with incubi, succubi, dragons, ogres, vampires, astral larva, and a whole host of lecherous invisible entities that swarm from the lower realms, invading the aura and implanting ideas into the minds, whispering lustful voices to us, that lead us to think: "I wonder what that would be like." Prevention is possible by means of magical protection, incenses, invocations, prayers... but most importantly, to recognize the energy before it enters into the house, to identify that tempting voice at the door which whispers those lustful sounds into one's ear, and to nip it in the bud the moment those energies come close and start playing with the mind...because once those entities slip in to the mind unnoticed, they quickly start pulling all the levers of the instincts and get out all the rolls of memories and stir up a complete debauched orgy inside one's mind.
It would be interesting to know what tactics those clinics implement... not that I'm looking for a remedy, just that applied moment to moment consciousness seems to be the one and only I've found, and I doubt such clinics would apply such formulas.
tip: if you ever wonder if someone close to you has spyware on your computer, watch some animal porn. Anyone who has spyware on your device will immediately feel the need to announce it by trying to discuss animal porn with you. persistently.
In fact, one of the first porn films I saw was animal farm... Not by choice, but visiting my young teenage friend, who greeted me with great smiles, "I've got something fantastic" and then proceeded to show me... I remember how my perception of women became somewhat distorted after that... I think I had been raised to be shy and timid around women... but after watching that, that turned into a disgust and a total lack of respect for the opposite sex. Obviously, it was just a handful of desperate sluts, but still, up until then, I had all women on some pedestal... after that, I treated them all like dirt.
Porn is much closer in psychology to horror than love.
