Solomon had a thousand wives and still looked over the wall. this is the only thing you need to know about desire. a man who thinks he will find satisfaction by getting more of what he wants is a man who does not understand what want is. want is not a hole you fill, want is a muscle that grows stronger every time you use it. the men who knew this turned their eyes inward and built kingdoms out of the same force that would have destroyed them. the men who didn't know this built harems that became prisons and died inside them, surrounded by flesh and starving for something flesh was never going to give them.

Little by little, people disappear from your picture. Not because they’re bad, but because everyone has their own path. Don’t force it. Accept it, feel the hurt, then keep walking yours. It is what it is.

"Until death, all defeat is psychological." - Marcus Aurelius

Refuse everything that would lead most people to give up.

Refuse it.
Rise from the dead 1000 times.
Commit to never stay down & never give up.
Everything you want is on the other side of struggle.

how to get anything you want out of life:

close your eyes. seriously. now breathe slower.

focus on your heartbeat, feel it and calm down.
now feel your shoulders relax. now relax your face, your jaw, your chest, your stomach. let yourself feel safe for a moment.

now ask yourself "What do i actually want?" i mean, do you really know what you want? what does your soul quietly ache for when nobody is watching? peace? freedom? love? strength? respect? money?

sit with it. now think about the version of you who already has it.

see him clearly. notice how calm he is. how he speaks. how he handles pressure. how he no longer doubts himself every moment. because that version of you was not created overnight. he was created through small decisions repeated for years. through discipline. through pain. through lonely nights nobody saw. through continuing to believe in himself even when nothing around him gave him a reason to.

and that is how people change. not through motivation but through identity. the moment you stop seeing yourself as weak, behind, broken or incapable. your entire life slowly starts changing.

write about your goals often. experiment more.
embrace uncertainty. build discipline. surround yourself with people who want more out of life too.
little by little. day by day. until one day you look around and realize. you became him.

You did not receive a real education.

Today, we think of education as a litany of scattered disciplines that you study for careerism and social mobility.

But a classical education was different. It taught you the seven liberal arts to liberate your soul...

First, you learned the Trivium:

• Grammar
• Logic
• Rhetoric

Once you could think, speak, and articulate yourself clearly, you moved to the Quadrivium:

• Arithmetic
• Music
• Geometry
• Astronomy

The Quadrivium is about training you to see order in reality itself. Nature has an intelligent design and you are connected to it: you belong in the cosmos.

The difference with a true liberal arts education is not simply what you study, but *why* you study it. A classical liberal arts education taught you how to find God — the Transcendent Good was the end point of all education.

Instead of a set of independent disciplines, education was a deeply interconnected moral pursuit, teaching you to be attuned with truth, beauty, and goodness.

This interconnectedness is why the 7 liberal arts are presented as a wheel.

And have you noticed that the symbol of the 7 liberal arts is strikingly similar to the rose windows of Gothic cathedrals?

That's no coincidence. Rose windows symbolize Heaven, suggesting that reality itself is patterned after them — and this same circular pattern is the symbol of classical education in the liberal arts.

The implication is that the liberal arts liberate your soul by forming you according to the pattern of Heaven itself.

Education is preparation for eternity.

[Illimitable Man (IM) @SovereignIM]

Rule breaking is addictive when it doesn't hurt anyone, but genuinely improves your life in a significantly measurable way that would not be possible had you listened to general guidance, and only followed the paths laid out for you.

It is at this point you just start to see the great mass of rule followers, "the sheep" and "the normies" as little more than cowards too unimaginative and afraid to risk themselves, to see what will happen if they start breaking rules and taking risks in the pursuit of a much greater, but otherwise unachievable life.

It is very simple. Do the rules in place allow you to flourish? Are they actually conducive to your existence? Do they improve things for you? Do they protect you? No? Then why are you following them? You owe it to yourself to disobey and you owe it to yourself to say no, because you have rightfully recognised the authority you are under is not righteous, and has failed in its duty of care to you.

A rule is not correct simply because it is a rule. A rule is a control measure put in place to preserve a pre-existing system or status quo, and so if you are suffering horribly under it, then clearly it has not been designed with, or otherwise administered and governed with your interests in mind, and so you owe it to yourself to do what is necessary for yourself.

You do not owe a lover, a parent, your family, your boss, an organisation, the government or any system at any scale for that matter your loyalty and obedience, if that system, institution, tribe or person does not properly advocate for, protect, or further your interests. And so where what tries to control you does not truly and deeply care for you, does not provide for you - and is not aligned with your best interests and needs - you must reject its authority as rightful and instead set about on doing what is right for yourself.

You must stick up your middle finger, and say fuck you and fuckoff, to carve out your own path instead.

And not because you glamorise rebelliousness and are horny for defiance for its own sake either, but because you have one life, and you intend to live it fully and well. You are stubborn. You will not see your dreams crushed. You will bend reality to your will. You will make what you want come true.

Imagine, if you will, two people with identical traits in every way, except from a young age, one has been encouraged, believed in, consciously sharpened, and taught to view the world as something they must conquer, whilst the other has been doubted, ridiculed, undermined, demoralised, and taught to be cautious and self-protecting.

It blows my mind how so many people do not believe in themselves, simply because they're rarely ever complimented, appreciated, encouraged, or recognised.

They're plodding along, doing their own thing. And they may even have some wins. But they're not shining. They take themselves for granted, they underestimate themselves. Even the talented ones, especially the talented ones.

Obviously, you do not want to delude somebody into thinking they are far greater or more capable than they really are, but the mere act of being believed in - to have your potential recognised and spoken to as if it is an inevitability - that is incredibly invigorating.

When your idol, your hero, your father, your true love - when someone very prolific and totalising to you believes in you and speaks to you as if you are destined for greatness, as if you always were and always will be, but simply did not realise what you are - it does something to you energetically. There is a spiritual shift. The whole phase of reality you occupy shifts into higher gear. You are the same, and yet, you are not the person you were - you are unlocked.

It is incredible how much of a person's untapped and latent brilliance starts to shine, simply because someone who matters to them believes in them.

The whole then, truly, is greater than the sum of its parts.
