Romance is a disease.
Born of a man's passion; it originates from the desperate seed of the masculine striving force.
A man with strong life force eventually allows it to leak into his desire for a woman. Even in the yearning drip of pheromones through his pores:
It must come out.
The more potent his intrinsic Will, the more powerfully it excites him into an illusory state of loving fantasy.
He tends to 'fall' for women quickly and intensely,
his intellect is dominated by his Will, so the timeline of his feelings and their depth cannot make logical sense.
She may possess real beauty of her own, but even the most average woman can appear to him w/ an angelic glow; his eyes are scorched to blinding by this light.
But he does not see her; the offensive light that blinds him is his own. All radiance he perceives in her finds its warm origins in the vibrant heat of his own inner flame.
Carl Jung conceptualised the Anima:
The feminine thought form existing in every mans psyche – this is the object permeating through the gaze of any man immersed in the current of his romance.
It is not love.
Everything he 'loves' about her represents an attribute or characteristic he both admires and represses in himself.
Therefore, although it appears well-intentioned, it is ultimately solipsistic and deeply selfish. He battles his inward frustration, and so he becomes overly sensitive to even her neutral and sensible actions.
In his desire to get 'closer' to the Angelic Being of his veneration, he shortcuts this process, and unconsciously mimics a more feminine frame.
He literally replicates this bc the 'she' he is drawn to actually exists inside of him.
His behaviour can become increasingly desperate & bizarre. It will go against everything he knows and is.
He'll discard his natural & masculine frame, and at times, hardly recognise himself in his dealings with her.
And, quite rightly, he repels any woman subjected to him in this state.
He will ALWAYS lose her.
In reality:
A man in a state of romantic frenzy never truly cares about losing women at all.
Although he thinks he does.
His state is one of supreme solipsism and mental pathology; all hurt of his unrequited 'love' stems from the rejection of parts himself he admired but repressed.
But because losing her finally allows him to align the entire magnitude of his passion to a purpose above himself,
it is one of the best things that will ever happen to him.
Pain shall be man's great teacher.
And where it does not exist, the man of high ambition will always manufacture his own mentor.
If you read all this,
it's likely because you personally relate, so:
Recognise, there is no heartbreak.
Completely the opposite.
You have finally broken the chains that suffocated the life pulse of your genuine desires.
Be thankful.
Conor McGregor says he's been abstaining from all "physical touch" ahead of his return fight this weekend 😅
"The fire is in my belly roaring, and it's about to be released on Saturday night.
I've practiced abstaining also in this camp, it's the first time I've ever done it, from any type of physical touch. That's been intense, I'm excited to see what it brings on Saturday night.
I'm gonna have a good night Saturday, all across the board."
Everyone who’s met me from here is surprised by how deeply relaxed and laid back I am. Always get comments on my calming presence.
You wouldn’t expect it based on my posts.
And it’s precisely because every single ounce of my intensity and neuroticism is concentrated into very few select and specific things.
Big believer in not wasting any energy on things that don’t matter. Most people faff about their entire lives.
“How you do anything is how you do everything” is cope from people who are so misaligned they don’t know how to prioritise or direct their focus — they never really do much.
Dana White reveals people with money tried to get Joe Rogan fired
“In Rogan’s rise, he’s gone through some stuff personally too. I’ve had people call and say you gotta do this to Rogan”
“I’m like, don’t ever call me. Who the hell are you to call me and tell me who I’m going to fire?”
“Joe Rogan did the first 12 fights for us for free”
“When we bought this company, the only two who were any good on radio were me and Joe Rogan but nobody knew who I was”
“We’d get up at 3:00 in the morning, get dropped into East Coast markets, and do the same interviews over and over. Rogan and I did this for years”
“He’s been a key, instrumental part of this company. And for anybody, I don’t give a damn how much money you have, or sponsor, or whatever”
“Nothing’s happening to Joe Rogan. Loyalty. It’s the most important thing in the world to me”
Justin Gaethje thinks it will be hard for Ilia Topuria to become champion again because opponents won't fear him anymore:
"he was the guy you couldn't get through. Once I showed people that all you gotta do is get through that, then nobody is gonna go in there thinking he's unbeatable now”
