These are only the basic references about Tikun Hbris. The torahs have a lot more about this topic. We strongly suggest that everyone learn Likutay Maharan.

How does one merit to totally nullify his ego and haughtiness and to pass all honor to G-D, this is done by being Shomer Hbris.
[Likutay 1 Torah 11]

Tikun Habris is the most important topic to discuss in this
low generation, and no one is dealing with it.

Preventing and Rectifying the Severe Sin of Wasting Seed.

Shmiras Habris is the most important element of the Jewish religion. Unfortunately due to the great sins of this generation this topic has become almost completely ignored.

My personal advice to everyone is: follow the teachings and advice of the Tzadik Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.

The Sin of Wasting Seed

At the first gate stands the angel ASTRKH, under his command are hundreds of thousands of deputies. They are appointed on all those who have wasted seed, who do not get to see the shichinah. These people defiled themselves in this world, therefore after death they are gathered by these angels who impose judgment upon them.
(Otzar Hmidrashim second chamber)

Preface

The Guard Your Eyes organization has set for itself the goal of helping the Jewish people with prevention and treatment of purity struggles, and to deal with what is being labeled by many of our leaders as the number one challenge of our time. The instant availability and anonymity involved in accessing inappropriate material via the Internet, is proving to be the most destructive force in our communities today. It is destroying the lives, marriages and families of our very best and brightest, young and old.

Treatment: In its first three years of operations, Guard Your Eyes helped roughly 1,000 Jews suffering from lust addiction get back on a path of sanity, self-control and healing, and has touched the lives of thousands more.

Prevention: Guard Your Eyes also helped prevent thousands from falling into the addiction, by providing comprehensive filter services, daily chizuk e-mails on Shemiras Einayim, and articles, tips and stories, warning of the dangers and giving practical tools on how to avoid the pitfalls of these difficult tests.

We attribute the success of our network to a few factors:

Experience: The tools of our recovery program were developed with guidance from the best experts in the field and through the personal experience of hundreds of dedicated Jews who successfully broke free of their addiction and are determined to help others.

A Novel Approach: Our recovery system is not only unique for the Jewish community, but unique in the world, in that we address the many different levels of addiction with a program that uses progressively more “addiction oriented” tools based on the level of the dependence. For example, there are many people who just started to slip in these areas and can get out of it with the proper perspective, filters, some basic safe-guards and some accountability. Others need far more intense solutions, such as our 12-Step phone conferences, referral to live SA groups and to therapists. All in all though, this program promises a solution for everyone, no matter how advanced the addiction may have progressed. As Rabbi A. J. Twerski MD writes in his endorsement: “I try to contribute to this website because it is virtually the only effective method available“.

Anonymity: The many tools and services on our network are all either on-line, by phone or in-print. What makes this so powerful is that it ensures complete anonymity for those who turn to us for help. This is one of the greatest secrets to our success, because anonymity, especially in these sensitive areas – and all the more so in the religious community, is one of the main inhibitions of people reaching out for help.

Accessibility: The instant, free accessibility of inappropriate material on the internet has fueled this epidemic. We harness the same power of instant accessibility through the internet to reach and help thousands of Jews that conventional therapeutic approaches would otherwise not be able to reach.

Providing Hope: The inherently pure Jewish souls caught in this addiction are often just yearning for a helping hand to give them that extra push they need to break free. By simply finding that they are not alone and that hundreds of others have succeeded through our tools, they are instilled with the determination and courage to change.

This handbook can be used by individuals who struggles with lust at any level, even if they have only began slipping in this area and have not developed an addiction yet. It can also be used by Rabbis, Mechanchim, Mashgichim, therapists and community leaders, who can learn to help others who struggle in this area. Unfortunately, this issue has reached epidemic proportions in the religious community today, mainly due to the privacy and accessibility that the Internet provides. Help us spread the word. Download this handbook from our website at http://www.guardyoureyes.org and share it with others, either in PDF format or by printing it out.

Part 1 of this handbook focuses on the proper attitude to maintain in this struggle.

Part 2 provides the practical steps that we can take to break free of these addictive behaviors; starting out with the most basic and easiest steps to try, and continuing on through the more intense and life-changing steps – if necessary.

• “If you believe you can destroy, then you must believe that you can fix”.

Why is Sexual purity so important in Judaism? Our sages called Shmiras Habris “Yesod”, meaning “Foundation”. The foundation of a building is “underground” and no one sees it, yet it holds up the entire building! Shmiras Habris is the hidden part of a Jew, it’s the real you. If the foundation of a Jew is weak, his whole spiritual structure is fragile and in grave danger of collapse. At guardureyes.com we are finally joining together, for ourselves and for all future generations, to strengthen the foundations of our people!

TO HAVE THE IMAGE OF G-D ONE MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOOK AT FORBIDDEN IMAGES

G-d created man in His image. As long as man does not transgress and does not derive pleasure from gazing at immorality and does not try to make himself attractive to women and keeps his mind clear from immoral thoughts, then his image above in the heavenly spheres radiates. And as long as this image gleams, no demon is allowed to touch him. But when a person transgresses, his image above does not radiate, and angels of destruction attack him. (Sefer Chassidim 1136)

SAMSON REBELLED THROUGH THE EYES AND WAS PUNISHED THROUGH THEM

Our Rabbis have taught: Samson rebelled against G-d through his eyes, as it says, “Samson said to his father, ‘I noticed one of the Philistine women in Timnah… Get her for me, for she is the one that pleases me … (Judges 14:2, 3). Because of this the Philistines gouged out his eyes, as it says, “The Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes” (Judges 16:2 1). (Sotah 9b)

GAZING AT WOMEN MAKES TESHUVAH VERY DIFFICULT

… And among these twenty-four things, there are five for which the transgressor is not apt to repent, in that they are taken lightly by most people, so that the sinner does not actually regard them as a sin…(3) Immodest gazing [at a woman], the gazer thinking that he is guilty of no wrong, saying to himself. “Have I fornicated or approached her?’ – not realizing it is written (Bemidbar 15:39): ‘And do not go astray after your heart and after your eyes’. (Orchot Tzaddikim, Shaaar ha Teshuvah)

One who is not Shomer Hbris damages the 39 divine lights. He draws upon himself the load of earning a living, which are the 39 labors. This is taught in the Zohar, “One who throws bread crumbs on the floor is chased by poverty, certainly this happens to one who threw down crumbs of his brain.”

The Sin of Wasting Seed

Why does the verse say Tinuf (you should not commit adulteries) which is in plural form, it comes to include those who spill seed.
(Tanah Divi R’ Yishmoel)

We need to internalize that these desires are out to destroy us, not to help us. He claims to be our best friend, but he is our worst enemy. The evil inclination’s goal is that the value of our lives should be zero. His job is to damage. To do this he was given permission to use pleasure and illusionary “fulfillment” as a bluff to be able to cause us damage. Otherwise, how could he possibly damage, we would tell him to get lost! But we need to realize, it is like Arafat offering us a piece of cake. We know he doesn’t mean the cake, he means to use the cake to damage us somehow. After all, isn’t it obvious that the evil inclination wants your soul, not the pleasure? Otherwise, why is a thousand times never enough?!

We need to keep reminding ourselves that it is an addiction, a disease, an immaturity. That these are not-normal, non-healthy desires. These false pleasures that he offers us, destroy our relationship with our own selves–our own souls, not to mention our precious family life. And the most harmful of all, they destroy our relationship with G-d.

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO GAZE AT WOMEN

Regarding one who gazes at women who are forbidden to him, even if he is like Moshe, who was given the Torah from G-d’s hand to his own, he will not be free of the judgment of Gehinomm. Eventually, he will sin in matters of forbidden relations. He provokes the evil impulse against himself. He will come to the wasting of semen, which is a grave sin. (Shaare Kedushah, Part 2, Section 5)

G-D KNOWS WHEN ONE DERIVES ENJOYMENT FROM LOOKING AT WOMEN

A man, quite unexpectedly, crossed the path of a beautiful woman, and, noticing her beauty, enjoyed her looks. He should not think that since he did not plan to be captivated by her charms, he has not sinned. It is written, “For G-d will judge every deed-even everything hidden” (Ecclesiastes 12:14), and the sensual pleasure derived from a chance encounter is a sin. Rather than deriving pleasure from seeing the beautiful woman, he should consider the very fact that she came his way as punishment for a transgression. Conversely, if unexpectedly an opportunity for a mitzvah presents itself to you, you should be happy and thank G-d for sending it your way. (Sefer Chassidim 177)

IF YOU CAN’T AVOID LOOKING AT WOMEN DON’T GO DO THE MITZVAH OF ATTENDING A WEDDING

The Gemara says: A mitzvah that brings a wrongful act in its wake is better left undone (Talmud Yerushalmi, Challah 1:5) For example, it is a mitzvah to gladden a groom and his bride. But if a person knows that there will be brazen people present at the wedding who will do vulgar things, and he cannot avoid gazing at women, then he should not attend that wedding. (Sefer Chassidim 393)

These are only the basic references about Tikun Hbris. The torahs have a lot more about this topic. We strongly suggest that everyone learn Likutay Maharan.

When one does not guard the Bris, this results from his haughtiness. It is as if he makes himself into a deity, for he shows that he is not satisfied with the holiness of G-D. He therefore flaws the divine name SHKY, for this name represents that one should be content with holiness. When a person does guard the Bris, he merits a light that will guide him in the path of Teshuva (repentants).
