Actually, dear kindFeelings, what RamaKrishna did describe here is exactly what was most difficult for him to accomplish on his spirtual path.
The creator of this channel is a really nice person but still in the stages of total devotion, so he wants to propagate that, but at a later stage, it becomes really difficult to shed those conditions, as it was for Ramakrishna.
Personally I actually am currently on the same milestone of having to shed what my birth-religion Christianity did hammer into my brain (and if you are American than into yours as well).
I really became frustrated and annoyed with the personified old man on the wall being an authority and watching us on every step.
Since you blogged a lot about nofap this is actually what did cause a huge dilemma for me:
On one hand I knew that it is best to keep my Jing (which in Chinese medicine is called the essence, stored in the sperm), and on the other hand I felt like suppressing my sexuality when following the dogmas of the Church not to “sin”, so I had not only internal physical struggles but also moral ones.
On top of that – since you also have a book from Yogi Bhajan’s Kundalini-Yoga,
the same dilemma occured when having to shed the teacher from the teachings, and I have to admit that I still have some kind of aversion against him having maneuvered us into Sikhism – like from the fire of Christianity into the frying pan of the next religion. So I am now starting to carefully modify the kriya I do in order to move behind the religious concept of deities.
It’s synchronistic that I came across this on a rainy day.

Here is the story for you, how his teacher kicked him out of his attachment to humanoid concepts of god:
