Awareness

Keyword of the day: Awareness.

Before anything, become aware. LOOK at what you're doing, LISTEN. From a 3rd person perspective. It's so easy to be completely enthralled in a pmo session because it is most likely the strongest form of escapism that man kind has seen thus far.

Let's be real here... PMO has value. If it didn't have value then we wouldn't have a problem doing it and realizing there isn't anything here for us. That isn't the case. So how should we see it?
Again, PMO has value. How much? VERY LITTLE. Literally the smallest amount of value that anyone can get from ANYTHING. PMO IS PLEASURE FOR PLEASURE'S SAKE.

The funny thing about pleasure is that purposeful activity and thought BRINGS pleasure. Doing what you know in your heart you are supposed to be doing brings great pleasure, however delayed. SEEKING pleasure for pleasure's sake will ONLY bring you pleasure, nothing more. Next thing you know you're USING pleasure to mask the fact that you aren't seeking purpose. Good or bad doesn't really come into frame here... This is more complex, and you have to be aware that there are forces at play that you do not understand. You have to be aware that you are not fighting flesh and bone. This fight begins subconsciously, it begins spiritually.
