“Who controls the past, controls the future: Who controls the present, controls the past”

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing”

A rare look at how an architectural idea survived on paper — and was echoed decades later in stone.

Gaudí’s early vision for the narthex of the Sagrada Família’s Passion Façade shows the dramatic, almost skeletal structure he imagined for this side of the basilica.

Built long after his death, the façade was later developed by other architects and artists, including sculptor Josep Maria Subirachs, whose angular figures gave it its intense modern expression.

El fanalet que ens van donar ahir a la Sagrada Família es continua encenent. ✨ I no té cap botó per encendre’l.

Nothing gives a better picture of heaven than the inside of a beautiful Catholic Church.

After more than a century of construction, La Sagrada Família's Tower of Jesus Christ was lit for the first time.

[Italian 🚅🇮🇹🇻🇦 @Italian347]

People meme on how long it took to build the Sagrada Familia but it's actually a testament to the power of determination and vision

The ENTIRE cost was made through people giving offerings visiting it, or random donations by privates

A work truly by the people, in honor of God

[Un Sr de Barcelona @UnSrdeBarcelona]

Sou ja conscients que, des d’aquesta setmana, Antoni Gaudí serà ja considerat un dels 3 o 4 millors arquitectes de la història, si no el millor?

Altres van també excel.lir, però Gaudí va definir una cosmogonia pròpia.

Qué maravilla.

beautifully engineered

Iconic.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

You will never outperform your self-image, this is one of the most important things ever said about human behavior and almost nobody understands what it really means, your self-image is the picture you carry inside your head of who you are, what you're capable of, what you deserve, and what's possible for you, and your entire life is just your nervous system executing the orders of that picture, you don't behave according to what you want, you don't behave according to what you say, you don't behave according to your goals, you behave according to who you secretly believe you are, and the gap between where you are and where you want to be is almost always the exact gap between your real self-image and the one you keep trying to talk yourself into.

The plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz figured this out in the 1950s when he noticed that some patients, even after he fixed their face perfectly, still walked out of his office feeling ugly, and others with minor cosmetic changes walked out feeling brand new, the surgery didn't matter, what mattered was whether the internal picture had changed, and he wrote a book called Psycho-Cybernetics in 1960 that became the foundation of basically every self-development book that came after it, his point was simple, the brain operates like a guided missile that locks onto whatever self-image you've installed, and it will steer you, sabotage you, and bring you home to that image no matter how hard your conscious mind fights, you can win the lottery and end up broke again in two years if your self-image is "poor person," you can lose 50 pounds and gain it back if your self-image is "fat person," you can land your dream job and quietly destroy it if your self-image is "not good enough," because the brain experiences any mismatch between reality and self-image as a problem to be corrected, and it always corrects toward the image.

This is why goal-setting, willpower, motivation, and discipline almost always fail in the long run, they're all happening at the level of behavior while the self-image underneath stays exactly the same, you can't out-discipline a self-image, you can't motivate yourself past it for more than a few weeks before it pulls you back, the only real way to change your life is to change the picture first, and the picture changes through repeated vivid imagination, especially in the relaxed state right before sleep and right after waking, when the critical part of your mind goes quiet and the subconscious actually listens, you spend ten or fifteen minutes a day living inside the version of you you want to become, with full sensory detail, with the feeling of it already being true, you do that consistently for a few months and the internal picture genuinely shifts, and once the picture shifts the behavior follows by itself, no daily battle required, because now your subconscious is steering you toward a different home.
