Do these aspects need to change for you to feel contentment with this moment as it is? 

I think so .

 I'm not satisfied with my life right now .

Of course I'm not talking about such a narrow notion when I say "right now ". I don't mean this very moment/second .  Because this very moment is neutral .there are no  good or bad feelings .

I'm talking about my life right now as in this period of my life where I'm struggling In college..struggling with addictions.. and not living my dream life nor having everything that I want.

I’m talking about right now & the emotions pessimism, boredom & contentment.

I don't understand what "aspects" you are talking about . Please write more extensively so that I can understand you clearly instead of trying to "elastic" the conversation with endless back and forth Q&A's.

Anyways..I said that yes a lot of the stuff I mentioned need to change in order for me to feel happy with my life in this chapter of it.

However..if you are strictly talking about RIGHT NOW...then there is neutrality .I neither feel pessimism nor contentment. I feel nothing .

Which emotion is felt along with the concept, ‘I feel nothing’?

 

What else needs to change for contentment to be felt presently?

Actually it's contentment 😆.  It's right above pessimism and boredom..

 

I feel peaceful now . I mean I'm blessed..I have food and water ..a place to sleep in .etc Life isn't as bad as the ego wants me to picture it sometimes. 

And once again ..right now there is nothing I really "need " to feel happy . But probably in few hours as soon as I get hungry lol . So I just want to point out that 24/7 contentment is a pipe dream.

What is dopamine detox ? Basically abstaining from anything that elevates dopamine? 

Don't do dopamine detox, just cut off things that are objectively bad for you. Smoking is objectively bad for you, porn being bad for you is likely just some superstition you cling to as being real.

 

Also, the whole notion that there can even exist such as thing as "dopamine detox", LOL the idea itself is just silly

Hunger’s a lot like emotions in that it’s either experienced now or it isn’t. 

Never in a past or future. 

 

Feeling emotion 24/7 isn’t a pipe dream, it’s just an overlooking of that emotion is ‘only ever’ felt presently. 

[Someone here]

@Phil alrighty.  You still did not explain how and what exactly is moving to the above emotion is done .

[Phil]

@Someone here

You were experiencing pessimism and emptied out the discordant thoughts and naturally felt boredom and contentment. 

That’s how it’s done.

Porn is the most terrible thing. It can do terrible things to your brain. I never watch porn.

Even women enjoy porn. They just don't talk that much about it. It's easy to control porn and completely abandon it. Most people who are hooked on to porn are just immature and don't know how to transmute sex. Sex is philosophy not pleasure.

I did a lot of research on sex. Sex is just philosophy. A philosophy that helps us understand ourselves better. Sex is a tool. 

 

Unfortunately western culture has bastardized sex and turned it into a pleasure toy. 

 

Sex is not for pleasure. Sex is tantric. It's connection between two souls 

 

Sex is also the unraveling of the psyche. It shows the childhood of the person, their struggle, what kind of love they are looking for. 

 

Sex is beautiful. There is nothing sinful about it. Religion condemns sex because they can't have it. 

 

But sex is purely self referential and it has a lot of meaning. 

 

Unfortunately porn removes whatever meaning is implied to sex. 

Porn is the total corruption of sex.

Alright. As long as you don’t put it on a pedestal I guess.

Sex is just sex.
