Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheared Podcast. I'm your host, Austin Creed. I want to welcome you in. So I've talked about this at length before. When it comes to noFap, seeming retention and all that. And you know what? I talked about Monk mode before. A lot of these things that we'll discuss today I've discussed before. So you want to look through all the shows I've done and you want more of it? You're more than welcome to go look for it cause it's there. But this time I wanna talk about something that most people are not talking about. At least I haven't heard people talk about it. This is from mostly personal experience and it's the dark side. Just as the moon has a dark side, just as the force has a dark side. Seeming retention and no foul are no different. So anyone who's listened to the red pill stuff or gone in the manosphere content listen to Andrew Taylor, listen to CGA, listen to Rolo Tomassi Joker from a better bachelor. All these guys shout out to them. This is nothing new to you when it comes to or Steph is cold. Shout stuff is cold. All these guys talk about this idea of noFap, semen retention, all that kind of stuff. Which I have. Found helps me in my life when I need it. OK, but here's something I really want to talk about, which is the dark side of. Because when you break it all down, you're not just turning off the spigot when it comes to your sexual energy. When you are not pleasuring yourself or going out and seeking pleasure from other people, that energy doesn't just go away. OK. Anybody who's read Albert Einstein knows that energy is neither created nor destroyed. So the real question is, if you're gonna go on this journey of Monk mode, which is, I would encourage you to do. If you've never done it, I would encourage you take 30 days, take 30 days to cut out all sexual distractions. While non sexual distractions and really get to know yourself and decide what it is you want to do, don't let do not let other people leverage their. Power against you when it comes, especially women. OK. Because I'm gonna break. I'm gonna break this all down. I really think this is something that most people will never talk about women. See themselves as your equal, which in some ways in the eyes of the law in the eyes of society and whatnot, yes, but in the eyes of accomplishment under the guise of what they can actually do, that's not true. Now you can argue with me as much as you want. Go right ahead. Comment section is open if you want to have. A reasonable discussion. Simon Freud had this idea of. Was ahead of his time. When you look at the feminists, for example, they don't actually just want to be women, they want to compete with men. They often a hate men, B are jealous. They're not a man or C they want to tear men down instead of just building themselves up. OK. And This is why if you cannot control your sexual energy, you're likely to SIM. In other words, you're going to seek their validation. You're gonna seek their them telling you that you're good enough as a man. You think that? Ohh, if I can land between a woman, then I'm a real man. Or if I can get this woman to attention. By wearing my hair right or having my clothes fit correctly, or wearing the right perfume, or the Cologne or whatever, then I'm gonna be a real man and I don't really care about money. I don't need to care about success. I don't need to care about anything else. Too many people define themselves by what they can get from other people versus what they produce from within. And that to me, is the essence of nofap and seeming retention is saying, OK, yes, I could pleasure myself here and give myself a brief dose. Of delight or I can use that towards something else. I can say hey. I could go and choke the chicken in the bathroom right now or wherever, or I can go to the gym, or I could put in another hour at my job. Or I could decide and do something else with that energy. But if you're just sitting around doing nothing, being bored, being lazy, and then you're just spending that. Energy trying to not think about what you want to do. What's the point of that that's working against? That's defeating the whole point. And that is one of the dark sides of nofap. And even retention is letting it consume your thoughts. At that point, you might as well just get the energy, put the energy out. Because if all it's going to do is sabotage you, if all it's going to do is eat you from the inside out, well then, what's the point? You're defeating the whole purpose of this. My friends. Before you go on Monk mode before you decide to abstain from anything that is sexual, I want to ask you something. What are you wanting to achieve? What is it you want to do? Do you have a goal that you're going towards? This is the equivalent of. Your car is low on gas. You're gonna put in more gas. Gas is a form of energy. Sexual energy is one of the most primal energy sources that a human being can tap. So it's the equivalent of putting gas in your car. But if you don't know where you want to drive that car. Well, then, what's the point of? Putting gas in it. What's the point if you don't even know where you're going to go? Because for all you know, you could end up going to a place that's going to distract you. That's going to set you back. That's going to prevent you from doing something valuable. My friends, if you don't have a goal in mind if you're not trying to make more money, if you're not trying to get better in the gym, if you're not trying to build something, then there's no need for you to go on this journey. Because more than likely, you're going to end up self sabotaging and not putting yourself towards better success. Let me tell you something. If relationships are incredibly important. Relationships are often the cornerstone of most people's being because let's face it, we have biology. We have our biological instincts. We have this natural desire to fornicate, create whatever. But a lot of people don't use that to their advantage for everything that could set you back. There is an equal opportunity to. Transmute that into something that could help you. Just as there is a way that you could hurt yourself, there is an equal for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. All that to say is if for example, you can't control yourself sexually or you have an addiction to a substance. Or whatever it. May be that negative activity has the potential to be transmuted to something positive. It can be converted from me. This is sabotaging me column to this can help me towards my goal category. However, you have to be the one to do that. You have to decide hey. I'm not gonna be out here trolling for a booty. Hey, I'm not gonna be out here getting drunk every weekend. Hey, I'm not gonna be out here getting high instead of throwing for booty. I'm gonna go out here, and I'm gonna work my **** off in the gym and set up getting drunk on the weekends. I'm gonna come over here, and I'm going to start a side hustle instead of getting high. I'm going to invest in crypto because the next bull market is probably coming up. Hmm. But look, you see what I'm saying? You have the opportunity to use this energy. Towards something else, but instead what you're doing is you're letting it consume you, or if you're trying to transmute it, you do it halfway. To where you're going in this limbo of, well, I'm not indulging, but I'm not converting it. I'm kind of just using that energy that I would have used over here to not do this thing over here. And so I'm fighting a war on 2 fronts. I'm trying to fight the world, but now I'm also fighting myself. At that point, you're hurting yourself more than if you had just indulged in my. My opinion. So that's the dark side of no fab is human retention is if you don't use that energy towards something productive, it's only going to explode. Energy. That's what an explosion is, by the way. It's energy. That's just let loose with no control, no direction, no purpose. That's what an explosion is. And if you are not utilizing this extra energy that you will have, it's going to cause you to explode metaphysically speaking. And that is why I don't want you. To just go full on these trends. I don't want. 

You to just. 

Do things on a whim. I want you. To think things through, use. Your head and think do not just go and say ohh well, you know that's not a good idea but I don't know what the hell I'm doing and so I might as well just do this and do that. And the other thing that's only going to cause you to take a step back and I don't want you to take a step back if it's unnecessary. I learned this the hard way. I had a time in my life very recently. The first time I tried going month mode. I didn't do so good. I'll be honest with you, I didn't do very well at all. I ended up relapsing and ended up wasting a. Lot of my time with. You know women that were hitting me up, women that were wanting to hang out with me and all this kind of stuff. And I ended up indulging. So I learned the hard way that wait a minute. No, I can't just not do this. I have to not do X and solve for Yi. Have to actually use that energy towards something more like making more episodes for this show. Working more on. My book than I'm attempting to finish that. I'm getting close to being done with. I have to work on these. I have to be on Twitter more. I have to do things. I can't just sit here and be like. Well, I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna go jerk. I'm not gonna hit up a girl. Ohh. I don't know where I'm. I can't do. That that's worse. That's like putting a drug on the table in front of you and you're like SpongeBob where? You're like I. Don't need it. I don't need it. I definitely don't need it. And you're just sitting there and you're looking at it and you're like. Well, I could. I'm not going for a run. I'm not doing anything else. I'm just gonna sit here and just burn myself out trying to not do. What the hell is in front of me. Why would you torture yourself like that? No, throw that in the garbage and go and do something. And it also puts you in the situation of, let's say for example, you want to lose weight. Let's say you want to be healthier, so you throw up. So you put all the candy on the table in front of you. And you're like, I am not gonna eat any of the sour patch kids. I'm not gonna eat any Skittles. I'm not gonna eat any starbursts. I'm not gonna do anything. I'm not gonna consume this candy. But every time you walk through your kitchen, it's right there. Every time you go to your to your office, it's right there. Every time you wanna go work out in your garage, it's right there. You see how that might waste a lot of your willpower? You see how that might defeat the whole purpose? You see what I'm talking about. Whereas if you had taken that candy, throwing it in the dumpster, gotten rid of it. Then if you wanted to eat it, you'd have to get in your car, go to the store, go get to the aisle with the candy, check out at the counter, go home, then eat. You so much extra work that would take instead of it just being right in front of you all the time. You have that waste energy saying no, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to do that. No, no, no. That's why I say clear the deck. If you really want to do this, stop talking to all the girls who. Talking to stop it, consuming content on the Internet that's related to. One block the inner block that crap. Delete anything in your in your phone that's going to distract you. Block all. No, don't block the wind. Just don't talk to them. Just don't talk to them. Don't let them come into your life on their terms. Just clear the deck, reshuffle the deck. Do not just waste that energy trying to not partake in those things. Because that's worse if you just got it out of your system, then guess what. You could go back. To being productive, but instead, if you're going to waste that energy thinking there, how you shouldn't do this or that, the other thing you're defeating the whole purpose of this new reinventing phase you're defeating. The whole purpose. That's the dark side that people won't tell you is they want to seem like it's really easy to do that. It is not easy. It takes discipline. It takes the will to not just stop doing what you were doing before, but do something new. Do something risky, do something different. That's what you have to do. You can't just sit there and think, oh, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do something destructive, but I'm not going to do something productive either. You can't do that. That's stupid. Why would you do that? My friends, I encourage you if you want to go on Monk mode. If you want to take 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, even 2 weeks as an experimental phase. If you want to go Monk. Code if you want to stop consuming prawn. If you wanna stop being lazy, you wanna stop eating like crap. You wanna start, you stop doing this and start doing something else. Then do that, find what works for you. It's always going to be a little different for everybody but my friends, you have to understand the light side and the dark side. That is where you will find the balance that will take you forward in your life. You can't just sit here and. Like, well, you know, I have these women in in my roster, but you. Know I'll, I'll. Still text them and I'll still do that. But I want, you know, I'm just. I'll let. Them send me stuff. But I'm not gonna invite them over for SEGS. What? Why would you do that? That's so stupid. No, don't do that. Just don't respond. Just say. Hey, you know what? No, no. I might come back to that later if I ever need to. Because guarantee you if you stop giving attention to these women, chances are they will move on and they will make your life a lot easier. Women need validation and attention, whether that's from other women, whether that's from men, doesn't matter. And if you're not giving that to them, they're like, they're like the bugs to the the to the. To not flame to that light, you see, like in those Bayou movies in Louisiana, you know those like. Those lights and the bugs going and then I get zapped. And I'm like, oh, and they fall and they come like it's like that. That's what women do. They need that attention. They need that validation. They need that energy coming from you and if you stop giving that, we'll move on. And then you'll realize they didn't actually love you. They didn't actually care about you. They cared about what you were giving to them. Now, I'm not saying that have you resent them? I'm saying that you need to understand how things work so that then you can decide what you want to do instead of just being used because you know as much as I hate communism. Karl Marx said one thing that I actually agree with, and he said use is the only currency. Everybody uses everybody, OK? It's not just a man thing, not just a woman thing. People use people in general. This is true. So you need to stop and realize where you're being used and why and then decide if that's what you actually want to participate in. Or maybe you want to say, hey, boycott the system. I want to do my own thing and I want to go my own way. That is your choice to make, but I want you to actually participate in that choice, and that's why I want you to see the dark side and the light side of going on this new journey. You need to understand that I never hear anybody else talk about that, my friends. Stay vigilant, stay informed and please question everything if you want a baseline of where it start. If you want to go mock mode, you can pick up a copy of a biblical bachelor. Talk about this in depth. Because I believe it to be a part of every every man's journey. If he's trying to. Become a stronger version of himself. But my friends, until next time I look forward to hearing what you have to say, and if and if you have questions about your personal journey, you can hit me up at cheap gets cheered on my ex. My DM's are open, I will do my best. I am not a professional license to anything, but I will do my best to help you in any way that you need it. Just go on. Send hit me up. You don't you don't have to follow me. I'd recommend it because I produce a lot of great content, but if you want to just ask a question, my DMS are open as sheep gets cheered, go ask me questions, my friends. I'm out. Take care of yourselves and do not ever settle for anything less than what you actually want. I'm out peace.
