Hi. I watched some videos on youtube by VS and that propelled me to come here and ask a simple, but important, question. I don't want to give details of my life, but I'll say this: I was born with a beautiful mind, but subsequently I immersed myself in over masturbation with pornography, excessive TV, excessive video-games, and all sort of activities that thrash the brain and the attention span, while spending little time on the pratical world with experiences. I realize the lhp is not for losers and if you think this posting is innapropriate you can delete it. I remember that when someone said a word to me, there was a mental picture that popped instantaneously. I think that is a sign of good visualization techniques. But now I am bad for concentraton. The question is: Can a person like me regain his concentration and focus by means of ascetism and some techniques? Thank you.

There is always hope.
A person like you, who are you? What are you?
Over-fill, which is the very definition of sin. You need to build a new soul.

I can't remember your sleeper name, quantum traveler. But yeah, I know who you are. This must be your 6th or 7th account on our forum. The username was my first clue, then the avatar you used a day or two ago, and finally the pornography thing. Lots of people have delusions of grandeur, so I'm not counting that. However, I did notice it, too. I wonder whose mind is prettier? Hahaha!
Anyways, on to your question...
Everyone has good and bad, strong points and weak. Both can improve if you put in the effort. Whenever anyone asks, "Can I do ________?" The answer is always, "Yes, but you have to approach your goal in the right way." Work on your focus and concentration if that's what you aim to do. Meditate. Visualize things on a daily basis. Research. Keep at it.
If you have an addiction that's negatively impacting your life, then struggle to overcome it - either gradually or cold turkey. None of us are perfect, but we continually strive towards a more perfect state. That's the difference between us and the sleepers.
But here's some advice which you didn't ask for, but desperately need... and not just you. Be humble, be open minded, and participate in our religion because you're interested in the long haul. The Cult of Cthulhu is not a quick fix. It's a gradual process of extraordinary change. It has taken me quite a few years to get to where I'm at today. Those who stick by the Great Old Ones shall earn their reward. In these treacherous times, loyalty is worth more than gold.
Awake!

Thanks for the responses.
To the woman: What I am? What I feel like now is a dead machine enslaved in repetitive and machine-like behaviours and unproductive hedonism, extreme mental imbalance and lack of focus. I will read what you mentioned, many thanks.
The key to understanding what I'm talking about is sushil yadav's text, available in lots of websites, named "Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment". From there you can get an idea, only you two are older and it is hard to figure out what it is to, in addition to having been brought up as an overprotected child and also being timid by nature, having grown up with internet available from a very early age. Combined with certain traits and traumas, this can totally mechanize an individual, and it has done bad to my attention span. My hope is that this is reversible, and many people stated that it is. I believe I may have what is called add.
VS: Thanks for the advice and the interesting words. I can sincerely state that I'm not the person you're talking about and this is the first time I join the forum. You can believe me on this one. I'm from Brasil. As for delusions of grandeur, I think not highly of myself.
I will follow the woman's advice and come back here after at least 1 month or 2 of experience and trying, but I'll pop another question, kind of unrelated to the theme of the topic but totally related to magic:
Do you guys believe in the paranormal?

? Tell me if I'm wrong, there are some more respectful way of addressing a lady...
About paranormal, the core of our belief system is that this "reality" around us does not exist and that the true will of a awaken person is making it.
But Magic is definitively not what you can see in comics, movies, and role-playing games... That's not the way it works. Also, keep in mind that maybe 99% of what you can read about paranormal is from books-sellers and charlatans. So some things that are called "paranormal" are real, others are not possible.
Remember yourself, for the emerald kingdom is at hand.

Thanks for the responses. To the woman: What I am? What I feel like now is a dead machine enslaved in repetitive and machine-like behaviours and unproductive hedonism, extreme mental imbalance and lack of focus. I will read what you mentioned, many thanks. The thing about habit is, you have to find a way to disrupt the pattern of behavior you are following. Since you've been unsuccessful accomplishing this on your own, I recommend you visit the forum regularly while you are reading up.
The theme is pretty common, and is observable by examining the nature of conditioning. Anything from people environments, to being bombarded with people inventions (data design, social memetics, self-image production, etc.)
It is reversible, but in order to do that you have to remain self-aware. Being self-aware, you *know* when you are being lulled back into programming, and what triggers you can use to disrupt yourself once more - so you can use true Will vs. mechanized will to take actions on your own behalf.I find terms like para-normal, oxy moronic - but useful, depending on the context. For example, what is considered to be 'paranormal' is usually events which cannot be explained so they are classified as exceeding normal parameters. To me, this is 'normal' there are lots of things which may not have a reasonable and acceptable explanation. When I say its useful, you can use this term to communicate the Occultist's aim, to exceed normal parameters of living, to directly affect existence, thus producing a long-term effect. In the case of an occultist seeking initiation with the Cthulhu Cult - he seeks to initiate because he recognizes the parameters needed in order to affect reality. Belief is reality'; thus belief in the paranormal is paramount in this paradigm. CS[/color]

I see now that I got your avatar mixed up with the new user, Prasinus Ambulans. Perhaps you're not who I thought you were. Regardless, my advice is the same.
The possibility of control is there... you just have to put your tentacle in the fire and learn what the Cult of Cthulhu has to teach. If you want the free PDF of Cthulhu Cult (Book I of our bible), then send me an email.

I read this last post, and thought myself in trouble. But best jump onto topic. As many have said, observe practice and methods before jumping right into the pit. I found myself wandering about mentally, and i sought a quell to the unrest, and did so by finding my own path and learning the ways and teachings. As venger said as well, the CoC isn't a patch you can put on and take off when you're better, it is a family of sorts and belief that you must become a part of to fully experience enlightenment.

If you really want to change then you will change. Make haste slowly.
