Psychoanalysis, from Carl Jung’s perspective, tells us something very important regarding everything that’s talked about here. And I want to list some of the problems that arise on this thread first, from what I’ve observed:

1) Best strategy in today’s SMP?

2) What practices are best for the body and mind? (eg. masturbation vs no fap, meditation, reading etc)

3) Why lifting?

4) What’s the best business route one should take?

Etc.

So you come on TRP with some questions and you are looking for answers, but I want you to stop and think: why am I looking for this? Answer to that again, and repeat the same question 7 times. See what you answer to the 7th “why?” as you get deeper.

Now, what’s with this individuation thing that I just wrote in the title? Well, Jung basically said that throughout our lives, all the aspects that define us as human beings, from our mental to our physical and our spiritual sides are in a process of “coming together”, of forming one entity. Look at it this way: every part of you doesn’t want to live by it’s own and wants to stick to everything else. That’s basically the process of individuation.

With this, I want you to stop asking all those small questions, and rather try to visualize everything as a whole. How are your relationships, your career, your friendships, your self-talk, how is it all coming together?

You’ll see that you’ll look at it from a distanced point of view and go “well, this is kinda bad, I need to change this/that/the other, otherwise the lego won’t come together...”. It will be easier for you to pinpoint what’s good and what’s bad, what needs to be changed, and you’ll return here for knowledge, rather than solutions.

You know how to find solutions on your own, you just need the tools and a tiny bit of instructions. Not a step-by-step plan on how to achieve it in life. You’re the one that knows how to do that.

Conclusion:

Don’t get caught up in how to get laid, how to keep your girlfriend or any other thing discussed here for that matter. Pay attention to how the whole is forming. Also, remember you will never be able to take a piece of advice and just stick it in your life. Take the information here and adjust it to your own liking.
