Greetings Satanic family. It's good to be back.
The reason I'm making this post is that I had a remarkable experience with dopamine detoxing, and thought it might be important to share with any Satanic brothers and sisters who might be struggling with the same challenges I faced. Out of respect and consideration for the time and energy of those reading, I have included a bolded "the least you need to know" summary below, which includes the most important points. Feel free to skip ahead to that summary if you don't wish to read the entire scientific explanation, personal story, etc.
What is dopamine detoxing? Also referred to as dopamine fasting, it's basically a method of dealing with addictive habits that involves a complete abstinence from the sources of addictions or pleasurable distractions that result in dopamine release. Dopamine is a powerful neurochemical that can reinforce certain habits.
Let me illustrate the importance with a scientific example. They have actually done experiments with rats that had electrodes implanted in their brains. When the neurochemical reward system was stimulated from pulling a lever, the rats would continually keep pulling the lever. In fact, they did this so much, that the rats would not eat or sleep, and would eventually drop from exhaustion! They then reversed this process and blocked the release of dopamine in the rats. The rats were lethargic and had no motivation to drink water, mate, etc. The rats were apparently so devoid of any motivation to sustain themselves, they only ate food when it was placed directly in their mouths! I'm sure you can appreciate the importance of this if we imagine a human subject instead! Dopamine detoxing can help correct neurochemical imbalances in the brain.
I'll tell you a little of my story regarding this as well. I used to work a terrible thankless job that involved long grueling, often boring hours. It was quite stressful and nobody respected me at my job. When I'd get home, I would often resort to watching entertainment, usually on YouTube, to try and forget it. To get some sort of escape from the stress. It was the most depressing part of my life. I felt like a fucking robot, hardly anything made me happy, and it seemed like life had little meaning to it. Eventually, I quit that horrible demeaning job and worked somewhere else. I felt better and more content with my new job, but things still didn't quite seem right somehow. After working my new job for months, coronavirus hit and I became unemployed.
However, in a way, this coronavirus has been a HUGE blessing in disguise for me personally. There was a beautiful silver lining to an otherwise gray cloud, and let me explain why. I felt some relief when I no longer was grinding away full-time at a demanding stressful job. It was like a weight had been taken off my shoulders and I could finally breathe for once. I was still regrettably knee deep in my addictive video streaming and Internet habits, but everything else seemed alright. Anyways, I was incredibly fortunate to stumble onto a video that mentioned dopamine detoxing.
Up to that point, any sort of meditation or other spiritual work felt completely futile to me. Whenever I would do meditations or anything Satanic, I couldn't help but feel distracted. I would get bored with it and felt like it wasn't doing anything. I couldn't keep focus and would always forget about my spiritual practice, even if I tried. I couldn't seem to break free of the electronic spell. It felt like struggling to push a boulder up a hill, only to go nowhere. This would sometimes lead to feelings of low self-esteem or even shame. Sometimes I would think to myself, "Maybe I'm not good enough to be a Satanist. Maybe this was all just a fluke that I discovered JOS or Father Satan in the first place. I don't deserve to call myself a Satanist."
When I first heard of dopamine detoxing, I knew I had a problem with productivity and accomplishing goals in my life. It also only recommended you to refrain from your addictive habit for a day. So I figured, what the hell, it's worth a shot.
Well, hail Satan am I glad I tried it! At first, I experienced the same strong temptations of viewing videos or looking at something on the Internet. However, I held resolute and did not give in. After a while, I noticed something very odd. I experienced what seemed like some sort of withdrawal symptoms. My consciousness would sort of fade in and out for a split second. After this passed, the next things I would experience during that day were incredible!
Not only did I no longer feel the constant urge to watch videos, but there was a rapid mental and emotional improvement! I had assumed that I had lost my intellect, and there was no way to regain it or heal the damage, but suddenly my mind felt alive! Thoughts came so much more easily to me. I started to feel like my old contemplative philosophical self again! My memory had also improved. My mind was racing with so many different ideas and thoughts!
Emotionally, I felt uplifted! I was on top of the world, and the troubles of the world seemed far away. I began to more greatly appreciate the beauty in life and everything around me! Everything was so much more pleasurable, and also just more vivid. It was so wonderful, I was on the verge of tears! I knew right there and then, I was finally free! I was no longer enslaved. I was back in touch with the miracle of life! Dopamine detoxing saved me!
I was in a state of euphoria and bliss. I felt an immense pleasure. It felt like I had sometimes felt with yoga on rare occasion, only WAY MORE INTENSE! If I'm being truly honest, it was almost too much. I was perhaps somewhat overstimulated, yet it didn't really bother me too much. Besides the euphoria, any and all aches and pains seemed to melt away. Another symptom was that I had a huge ego stroke. Honestly, I felt like a king! There was a certain bullet-proof feeling of invulnerability and I felt like there was nothing I couldn't do. It was a HUGE confidence booster!
There was also a massive increase in my energy! I felt the inspiration to start writing. I was so energized, I spent the whole night working on a writing project! It was great! Even better, despite being up all night, I seemed to feel no significant sleep deprivation side effects! It was as though my need for sleep was decreased.
One more thing, I noticed my senses were heightened. I was quite pleased to realize that I seemed to have regained my sense of smell! I could actually smell the fruit in the supermarket!
If you are struggling with any sort of addictive behaviors that may be preventing you from spiritually advancing yourself, devoting yourself to RTRs, or even just simply living your life to it's best, I HIGHLY encourage you to try dopamine detoxing! Do it for yourself. Do it for Father Satan. All you have to do is spend at least one day away from whatever is addicting to you or whatever pleasures may be distracting you. I don't think one day is asking too much, right?
To make it easier, you may even want to make the temptation more inaccessible. This might be as simple as putting it on a high shelf that's hard to reach, or if you really have a difficult time with having the willpower to reject the source of addiction, like say a cell phone, maybe give your phone to a friend you know you can trust so you won't be able to access it. I've even seen jars with timers that don't unlock until the timer runs out. So, that may be an option too. If for some reason you can't do a whole day, you still might benefit from a shorter detox period. If you can't avoid the addictive stimulus, then at least do your best to minimize your exposure to that stimulus as much as possible!
Anyways, what do you have to lose? Worst case, nothing happens and life goes on. On the other hand, if my personal experience is any indicator, this one simple thing could totally liberate you! It did for me anyways. I would even go so far as to call it a pivotal spiritual experience. I believe I destroyed a massive spiritual block for myself. I broke the chain that was keeping me bound. Lately, I've been more committed to Satan than I can ever recall! I'm daily doing kundalini yoga, Falun Gong, and RTRs now, and I intend to keep things that way!
The least you need to know:
- Dopamine is a powerful neurochemical that can cause problematic addictions.
- Dopamine detoxing can be a useful tool to remove addictions.
- To dopamine detox, it is recommended you avoid the addictive stimuli or distractions for at least one day.
- If you can not dopamine detox for a whole day, you may still benefit from shorter detox periods.
- If avoiding a problematic stimulus is not possible, do your best to at least minimize it.
- Dopamine detoxing may have other beneficial physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual effects besides mere addiction removal.
A PERSONAL DISCLAIMER HERE: I have no experience in using dopamine detoxing for severe drug or substance abuse issues. Therefore, if you are struggling with a severe substance addiction, I can NOT recommend it in good faith. IT MAY EVEN POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS! I don't want someone to die just because they had a physical dependency on a substance, and they tried to use dopamine detoxing to resolve it.
If you're dealing with a serious issue like that, you're probably better off seeking some competent professional help. Obviously, avoid the xianized bullshit treatment programs like the 12 steps programs and such. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, just be smart and don't hurt yourself. If you're not sure what to do in such a situation, I'm sure the Satanic community here would be more than willing to help.
I also would very much like to emphasize something else here. Neurochemically, I don't believe I dance to the same drum beat as an average person. It is possible, perhaps even probable, you won't have the same experience as me, or feel the effects as drastically, if you dopamine detox. So, don't take my experience as an absolute baseline of what you can expect. I have no way of knowing for sure what your natural neurochemistry is like. Due to the unique circumstances of your neurochemical system, your mileage could very well vary. HOWEVER, that said, I think if nothing else, it will quite likely benefit you if you struggle with addictive habits.
That's all for now. I'll likely add another post here and share more of my own personal theories regarding neurochemistry and the effects of dopamine detoxing, especially if others show an interest. I actually did a more extreme experiment (lasting over a week) with this where I was very restrictive with sources of dopamine stimulation. I'm also happy to field any questions people might have regarding my experience or just about the topic in general. I will certainly do my best to answer those questions in the most competent way I can.
HAIL SATAN!
