Wtf can I do? Should I nofap for 3 months or am I fucked?
Let go.

That's OK, I was just wondering why you seem to think a spiritual perspective is wrong or a mistake and never got an answer from you.
Imagine you and someone both experienced X in a very similar way, you describe the experience in very similar ways, except this other persons also describes the experience as sexual and you do not. Are they wrong to do so? Is it a mistake? Are they interpreting something the wrong way? Are you? I don't think so. You each just experienced it a little differently than the other.
Well ok fair enough if you put it that way. But if the other person claims that his experience is the objective truth or says anything about actual reality i would have a problem with that.

No.
Is my perspective/interpretation wrong? How is it wrong?
Neither. You personally find your experience can be defined as spiritual where someone else could have the identical experience and call it something else.
If I were to say that connection, that union with everything else is God in my eyes, is that a mistake? How is it a mistake?
What does this mean? You become God? What does it to mean that connection you feel
is God?
How can you say your perspective is the right or true perspective, and not merely a different perspective?
I think perspective literally means that it's one of what has to be more than one take. A perspective can't be right or wrong. Perspective is synonymous with an opinion.
What is it like to be a bat? We can examine bats, dissect bats, figure out how they work, why they behave the way they do, but you will never know what it is like to be a bat unless you are a bat. We can try to scientifically describe what a bat is as objectively an accurately as possible, but that will never be the same as the "bat experience". When I feel like I am 'one with the universe' I could leave subjectivity at the door and try to describe this experience as objectively as possible, but that will never be the same as my deeply spiritual experience. When I say "the experience was spiritual" there is a subjective quality which I am trying to convey. Is it wrong to do that? How? Why?
Dude you've never been a bat? For shame. It's fun fun fun.

i know what you mean Bro, I think that a lot too. yet it is only on the shallows that science takes all the fun from it. As you go deeper into the science you find out that science leaves much unexplained. it tells you about processes, mechanics, substances etc and it tells you how they work, but it yet can't explain why they do and why out how did it all come to work just like it does. For instance, look at chemistry and how matter is made. why or at what point does a bunch of electromagnetic charges of different behaviors gathered together acquire substance and become physical matter? (atoms and subatomic particles) why do these bundles all make a different type of matter depending on their size? why do different of these combine to make up complex matter of infinitely varying physical characteristics? and most specially, at what point did such thing as one of these substances became able to duplicate itself and prevent itself from being destroyed and at what point of all of this did life and awareness come from? Science has not yet been able to explain or even begin to examine it. There HAS to be something more to it than just our "science". That is why there was once some scientist and philosopher that said that "The first sips of the cup of science will draw you away from religion and spiritual belief, but the deeper you go into the cup will make you believe once again". that said, only fools numb and shallow of mind believe that science disproves religion.

Imagine seeing a tree for the first time or the stars in the night sky. Science has taken the magic out of life with the illusion of labels. Im not sure exactly how to explain what im saying ill try a different approach when you drink vodka you get drunk and we know we know how our bodies get drunk through the ethanol and the process of fermantation but forget all of those labelings imagine if the spirits of the natural ingredients in that create the alcohol are making you act the way we call drunk.theres a belief i believe is called animism where everything has a spirit such as trees grass the ocean

YOU think all this paranormal and weird phenomenon is bullshit... then step into MY arena AND TRY THIS
get a mirror about 50 cm square. fix the mirror tightly into a frame. like a thick wooden picture frame. make sure the mirror is tight and strongly fitted, or believe me YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT ...IT WILL CAUSE A MISTAKE TO HAPPEN A MISTAKE YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE ABLE TO PUT RIGHT. SO DO NOT RUSH THIS FRAME.
Now mount the frame on a small table with legs about 25 cm high. make sure the mirror is on the top of the table. when you look on the table you can see yourself. AND BELIEVE YOU ME, MAKE SURE THE WHOLE SET UP IS STURDY AND STRONG....OR YOULL REGRET IT.
NOW make your way down to a shallow running river. not a still river. Take a BRAVE friend with you. Both of you step into the river and hold the one side of the frame each. with one hand on each corner.
now go to a depth in the river so that the legs of the frame are on the bottom of the river and this makes the mirror on the top of the frame about 5 to 10cm below the surface.
now take a few deep breaths and relax. both you and your friend STARE INTO THE SUBMERGED MIRROR, AND FOR GOD SAKE MAKE SURE YOU ARE HOLDING THE STURDY FRAME TIGHTLY.
EVENTUALLY WHEN YOU BECOME MESMERISED WITH THE MIRROR, YOU WILL CEASE TO SEE YOUR OWN REFLECTIONS IN THE MIRROR AND THE REFLECTION OF THE RUNNING WATER, AND A KIND OF DARK SHAPE OF ONE FORM OR ANOTHER WILL APPEAR IN THE MIRROR. This shape is an existing being, that is alive like you and i, but it is of a different form. it will be kind of dull, and looking at it will frighten you. but stay and keep staring at it, because it is also staring at you. now if you or your friend gets really scarred, to the thing that is looking at you, it will see this fear as a vibrant display of one form or another, and this is very attractive to this kind of being, and then it will try and come out of the mirror to BE WITH YOU ...TO BE CLOSE TO YOU AND TO ...GET THIS.....STAY WITH YOU FOREVER AND EVER. EVEN when you are 100 years old and dying, this being will be next to you if you let it get out of the mirror.... trust me. you will know it is trying to get out of the mirror, because the mirror will start getting kind of dragged about in the water by some mysterious force, IT WILL START TO FLAIL AROUND. this is when you must pull that mirror clean out of the water WITHOUT BREAKING IT. IF IT BREAKS ...YOU HAVE JUST GOT YOURSELF A NEW MATE...THAT IS WHY I STRESS THE WHOLE SET UP HAS TO BE VERY STRONG. it may be difficult to get the mirror out of the water, but if you run off and leave it in the water. the thing will still come out and believe me it will catch you in 100th of a second. the thing to know is, this being will be like a dark dull mass, something you have never seen before, and if you run it will run after you and it will always be just nearly getting you. it does this because it knows that by being close to you, that vibrant display ( your fear is at a max) it will also be attracted to anger or laughter. if it does get out and come after you, just sit still and it will also be still, laugh and it will come close, be scarred and it will come close. basically just accept it. if it comes out you have just got yourself the closest friend you will ever have..........

Aside from probably killing my liver slowly I actually have a fairly healthy lifestyle. It's pretty easy to eat a healthy vegan diet and I get some light exercise but the whole health song and dance is pretty tedious, a painful ceremony that needs to be conducted to support more important activities.

Spreading positivity
This is true. This place is becoming/has been so lame for a while now. I mean, what's the deal? We're just a bunch of fuckups who are like 25-30 who come on the internet to insult each other? Do we want to build those typical insecure teen male relationships where we're too insecure to talk about real shit so we just try to make ourselves feel better by talking shit to each other? There's nothing cool about that, it doesn't help anybody.
People were making fun of obbe the other day just for trying to give advice on how to be happy. It's not like he was being self righteous or anything, the advice basically amounted to being able to let things go and not have to control everything, and people started talking shit to him. Why? You're mad he's happy? Or also the other day, people were talking shit to mmq, who is probably one the funnier people I've met/talked to. He obviously has some issues, yet no one wants to encourage, just try to tear him down.

as far as I'm concerned, you can believe that shoving a lobster up your ass could prevent you from getting throat cancer, and I don't give a shit neither about that nor about your religious beliefs. Nevertheless, that doesn't prevent me from mocking your stupidity. the very fact that u had resort to a sort of "don't hurt muh feelings with your logic" instead of addressing its content makes u dumb AF
If that was the case, you wouldn't have even posted in this thread
But somehow, my belief in God bothers you.
Let that sink in for a minute. Just the simple fact that I believe in God bothers you enough to talk shit and make assumptions about me.
And not one bit of "logic" has been presented in this thread, just "you don't believe what I believe, therefore you're stupid," and the only thing you're hurting so far is your case.

A small branch, apart from the tree, may be utilized in many ways. It could simply break off from the tree, fall to the ground, and complete its life cycle as it returns to the earth, to be recycled and reused in other ways. Or it can be honed. It can aide in balance and assist in walking or hiking. It can be sharpened, quite literally given a point, and turned into a spear. It can be crafted and formed into other structures or materials, giving intrinsic value to what it was and what it came to be. With the proper tools, skills, development, vision, plan, etc., the stick can escape the so-called pointless nature of life. Your life is what you make it. Go make it.

I make goals. Specific, measurable, achievable goals. Then I chart out a plan of action to achieve these goals. Then I do it.
Without goals, I could see how you would view life as pointless in nature.

I think you're a well adjusted regular guy, but with a special interest, you want to know how life, the Universe and everything works. That's what i like about you, i too share that interest but we don't always agree on where to look for the truth. And sometimes i find that frustrating and that's what i don't like about you.
As to how you could improve yourself, i don't know whether or not you are obsessed with the truth about the Universe and everything but i think that sometimes it might be helpful to stay a little more grounded.
