I no longer have nor desire a girlfriend. My only concern is winning the battle against my flesh and no longer having to masturbate or copulate. It's so wasteful. It does nothing but make me a slave.

Preferring Plotinus' Enneads is like preferring a mirror to Plato. It is great but for anyone who has it as their favourite book, they obviously only do so out of their inability to properly understand and appreciate Plato and his nobility.

No, you fool! Your only concern(if you insist on being foolish enough to have only one) should be to fight in the battles of Good and Evil, on large, as you are that way inclined obviously by your rejection of carnality. But look to Falstaff, fighter against Evil, but an indulger like many, or perhaps like few, and of perfect purity in his naivety.

the other day there was a gnostic thread and the OP was saying how persona got him into gnosticism, etc.
and plotinus took a shit on the gnostics, the girl in the OP is from persona and OP is a waifu fag

>>16087634
So you're rejecting the temptations of the flesh for purely personal reasons? I see, well, you should know that such personal methods only end in morality. And it is a fool to think self-abnegation is not self-sacrifice for another, compassion and so on.

To read the counter-arguments and criticism? it's pretty standard stuff to look what could possibly debunk what you know what is true to make sure that it is actually true

[Anonymous No.16087826]

>>16087819
by the way plotinus arguments against gnosticism basically boils down to "it'll make people degenerate" ie it is not an argument

[Anonymous No.16088055]

>>16087826
He says the presence of good in the world is evidence that it’s creator isn’t malicious. He is assuming that it is competent though, I think a gnostic would say that the he took the building blocks from elsewhere as he couldn’t create forms himself

>or copulate

>A man must marry between the ages of thirty and thirty-five, reflecting that there is a sense in which nature has not only somehow endowed the human race with a degree of immortality, but also planted in us all a longing to achieve it, which we express in every way we can. One c expression of that longing is the desire for fame and the wish not to lie nameless in the grave. Thus mankind is by nature a companion of eternity, and is linked to it, and will be linked to it, forever. Mankind is immortal because it always leaves later generations behind to preserve its unity and identity for all time: it gets its share of immortality by means of procreation. It is never a holy thing voluntarily to deny oneself this prize, and he who neglects to take a wife and have children does precisely that. So if a man obeys the law he will be allowed to go his way without penalty, but If a man disobeys, and reaches the age of thirty-five without having married, he must pay a yearly fine

She doesnt but she likes to hear my musings on metaphysics because it gives some explanation to the events we experienced together and also she occasionally likes to listen to me talk about poems I like though I think she might be kindly humouring me since she’s knows it’s one of my interests. Besides we have plenty of shared interests and we like to watch martial arts films together

When it comes to poetry her and I agree a lot. We're both lovers of the Romantics, Victorians, and Modernists. When it comes to fiction not so much. She prefers contemporary novels while I tend to read the former half of the 20th century. Drama we're the total opposites with her enjoying early modern and the Renaissance period while I prefer 20th century drama

could you tell me a bit more about your struggle? i am going through something similar, i have coomed myself to the point where further cooming fills me with a palpable sense of dread and impending doom, the shame it fills me with has made me contemplate suicide and it's starting to seriously affect my mental health. some weeks ago i was physically unable to eat for days because the thought of being a coomer for life terrified me so much. i don't know where to find the strength to win this battle, but it feels like my very soul is at stake. i want desperately to get to the point where i do not have any sexual desire whatsoever, i don't want a girlfriend or a wife or something, i just want to be free from this, i am in absolute seriousness considering removing my sexual organs by any means necessary
