It’s unnatural and tragic for youth to be wasted entirely in speculation and philosophy.
To be engaged TOTALLY and UNCONDITIONALLY in the esoteric (although it can be tempting, if you have a disposition to endless learning) ignores your most powerful and vital strengths HERE AND NOW.
The element of youth is FIRE.
A near limitless supply of regenerating energy — with your physical body capable of surpassing limitations with relative ease?
Remember that FIRE △ aims upwards always, and remains grounded on the earth beneath it.
To waste those years engrossed entirely in ‘mere thought’ would be a CRIMINAL underestimation of your potential.
Plant your feet DEEP in a mastery of the physical, and approach the heavens — grounded upon that foundation.
“When controversies rage, that is no good time to practice the divine profession—be an observer. Listen to all sides, in order that you may have greater understanding and appreciation.”

“To study and seek to interpret correctly the symbols of the Universe, is the work of the sage and philosopher. It is to de-cipher the writing of God, and penetrate into His thoughts.”

Do not allow ANYONE to cuck you into thinking charisma isn’t a learnable skill and quality.
Think about it logically - is it possible to become LESS charismatic? YES. Obviously. By admitting this, we concede that it is also possible to become MORE charismatic.
Train the behaviour until it becomes automatic habit.
Simple.
The world consists of stories and narrative, supported by beliefs.
Your limitations are often nothing more than a story you keep telling yourself. Change the belief. Change the story. Change the entire trajectory of your life.

The most powerful and paradigm shattering lessons are paid in dividends.
It is very often the case,
You will need to revisit that material, over and over and over again — repeatedly inducing the idea into your memory (think, subconscious food)…
Before it finally CLICKS. And you REAL-IZE the whole lesson on an ENERGETIC LEVEL.
You can train your subconscious to induce paradigm shifts on a DAILY BASIS.
Re-read the post that made you feel limitless.
Meditate on every failure and every victory.
IMMEDIATELY EXPERIMENT and TEST and the difference.
Something that BLOWS MY MIND on, basically, a daily basis - is the ease of access we have to information.
First of all.
Do you fuckers understand that mass literacy wasn’t a thing until VERY RECENTLY?
The fact that everyone can read now is FUCKING INSANE, and is a product of the enlightenment era.
Mass literacy only became a thing in the LATE 18th century for Western Europe. 20th century for USA.
Prior to that, slaves were FORBIDDEN from being taught to read. It was a luxury afforded ONLY to the priestly, scholastic, and noble classes.
That’s one thing in and of itself.
Now about accessing the stuff.
One of (if not) THE greatest Christian Mystic of all time was Meister Eckhart. He lived in 13th century Germany and wrote various works on the soul’s divine union with God, detachment, and the nature of being.
I want you to picture something real quick.
Let’s say you heard about Meister Eckhart and are interested in hearing what he had to say…
How do you get your hands on his works?
Can you imagine what that process looks like if you’re a 14th century Englishmen?
How about a 16th century Italian?
Or an 18th century subsaharan?
Forget about it.
Literally next to impossible.
Never mind your inability to read because you weren’t born of noble lineage. Imagine JUST getting your hands on the books????
You would have literally ZERO chance of doing this.
Unless by some ABSOLUTE miracle.
Because you’ve got to understand — works like that, that carry what the established church might consider “alternative” was utterly forbidden and considered heresy.
So it’s not even just a matter of translation.
It’s also a matter of keeping it in relative secrecy.
But even so, imagine it’s translated and it’s allowed to be published … GOOD LUCK having it show up in whatever kind of libraries they had back then.

Funny thing about icons
People who were so much larger than life that they defined a generation and eclipsed their own category (Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, come to mind)
All of them. Unanimously. Intentionally programmed themselves to be that way. Funny ain't it?
You're confident.
You're a star.
You're beautiful.
You're the greatest of all time.
I am so grateful that I am a magnet for miracles.
I'm a new person now, beautiful, knowing the secrets and determined with fire to move mountains in all I do.
its okay to not have what you want, it’s okay to not find the higher meaning or lesson. it’s ironic the nature of reality where what we repel what we strongly need. relax in the uncertainty and watch how effortless the valuable things come
What Tom Brady is/was to NFL
Napoleon was to military science
Their superpowers being their brilliance, and their immensely refined intuition informed via the careful loading of their subconscious minds to making intelligent battlefield decisions in real-time with an accuracy that borders on psychic.
Napoleon talks about this.
To describe Bonaparte as a “voracious reader” is an understatement.
In school, while all the other kids were playing at recess, he would sit by himself and just devour books non-stop.
As a young, poor, infantry officer, he often had to choose between being able to afford to eat, or buying books. He often chose books.
While on campaign, he travelled with a Librarian whose sole job was to procure and manage his travelling library.
In a letter, he once complained of running out of books to read and requested 20 new volumes per day to be sent to him from Paris.
Watch the video of Brady in the post below.
Understand what he was loading his subconscious mind with. Raw material from which to draw upon.
Napoleon ran the exact same playbook, having said:
“Read over and over again the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus, Turenne, Eugene and Frederic. ... This is the only way to become a great general and master the secrets of the art of war.”
I want you to internalise this.
INTUITION arises as the result of what your mental supercomputer can “chew” on.
You are what you consume.
Napoleon went down in history as the single greatest military strategist of all time, for many reasons, but LARGELY in part because he had brewing in his subconscious multiple LIFETIMES worth of generalship.
This sentiment is still echoed to this day, as exemplified by 4 star general James “Mad Dog” Mattis:
He said,
“If you haven't read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent, because your personal experiences alone aren't broad enough to sustain you.”
Your one lifetime is not enough.
Contemplate this well.
You must absorb, through books or other methods, the experience and wisdom of those who have walked the path before you.
Whatever that may look like for YOU.
You are what you consume.
Load your subconscious mind intelligently with the raw data it needs, and watch, you will be AMAZED at what bubbles to the surface and manifests as INTUITION.
NAMASTE.
Consider this:
The strength and personal dignity of your self esteem is directly tied to your TOLERANCE FOR, and WILLINGNESS TO ENDURE, SILENCE.
Illusory identities (those sustained by continual noise, internal dialogue and distraction) DEMAND that you subconsciously retreat from all things Real.
The tradeoff of actively choosing against Knowing (experiencing) yourself.
Silence leaves room for magic to occur.
Your inability to endure it gracefully is often the only thing in the way of advancing into a significantly higher version of yourself.
For those of you who are studying the esoteric and the ethereal, be sure to balance it with the study of the mundane.
You want one foot in the sky, the other on earth, in the mud.
Two feet in the sky, and you become a schizophrenic. Ungrounded.
Two feet in the mud, and your sight dulls, unable to see the world through the lens of magic.
Understand this well. Master both.
“Midwits” fix themselves into a single mode. Crystalized such that any paradigm shift amounts only to a new state of fixedness.
“High IQ” people employ all states as necessary and appropriate. Adaptability.
Paradigm shifts therefore mean the accretion of more mental models and the advancement of your faculty of discrimination.
