Dorian Yates' mentality needs to be studied as he is a true monk but more into the outward instead of just flourishing from the inward.
I have always liked such focus and channeling into work with a fully disciplined and dedicated attitude.
You should really learn about the mental game and how it is expressed by this great man.
“There are three traps of Satan that steal joy and peace: Regretting about the past, fear for the future, and ingratitude for the present.”
St. Anthony the Great
Henry Ford made cars while people were asking for horses, and he said the famous quote: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” It’s all about imagination and mental awareness. People’s awareness and consciousness are so low, but the greatest human being is one who can create a whole world inside himself with full awareness and consciousness.
🔺The Mastery of the “I AM”👁️🗨️
The development of the individual is a must in this realm. You started as a group soul, then evolved into an individual with purpose and will. This evolution is very rare—it is like only 1-10 out of a million can make it. You then developed your astral and etheric sides and are now capable of higher psyche powers. In the end, you gather all sides into one “I Am”. The Ezekiel vision of “Eyes” will now turn into “I’s”.
You as an individual are developing into a soul with greater capabilities and mastery toward all realms, but in reality that is just the beginning.
Learn and develop as much as you can. Be an individual, find your own purpose in life, feel everything in this world as not separate from you, and in the end ground it all as “I AM”.
You think the “Law of Attraction” is nonsense, yet your heart rate spikes and your adrenaline surges over a boss fight made of pixels and code. Think about that.
You call mindset work an "illusion," but you'll spend 40 hours a week feeling genuine, visceral emotions over a virtual world.
Here is the catch: your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between what is physically real and what is vividly imagined. When you completely lose yourself in a game, you are letting a developer do the heavy lifting for your imagination. You are boxing your mind into someone else’s limits and secretly programming yourself to be an NPC in the real world, blindly obeying society's rules.
Even society’s "reality" is just a multiplayer game everyone agreed to play. A luxury car is just a metal box with wheels until we collectively imagine it has value.
Hack Your Own System:
Games aren't the enemy, they are the ultimate proof that your brain can adapt to any reality. It’s time to flip the script and use them to hack your own mind:
• Own the Sandbox: Play open-world games with the conscious intention of realizing you dictate the rules.
• Extract the Feeling: When you beat an impossible level, your brain records that success as real. Take that exact feeling of "I control my destiny here" and drag it out into the physical world.
• Build Your Own Illusion: Make your real-life goals so vivid that your brain looks at them and says, "I've felt this success before. This isn't impossible."
You don't need to believe in magic to understand neuroscience. Stop confining your creativity to a screen. If you can master a complex system inside a game, you can master the system of this physical reality.
As Albert Einstein said: “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
We are in a really pathetic era that is heading downwards.
People have lost their will, and confidence. Men became equal with women, and women, instead of nurturing their own homes, now want to take over the role of the father and the elder.
Men are repressing their own desires; therefore, the holy temple got destroyed by the poison that was repressed. Now, you no longer love, you are just full of lust without setting it free. You no longer do, therefore you no longer feel the drive to do. Your will and confidence are now shared with the group, instead of you seeing your own purpose, your own desires, and your own destiny.
-The soul craves experiences, and you cage its free will.
-The soul asks for evolution, and you refuse to trust yourself.
-The soul desires to be individualized and you link yourself with groups.
-The soul starves for greatness, and you are afraid of your group.
Take up your sword with knowing that it is Michael’s sword, and cut the illusion with that fire within you. Instead of letting your will die and be repressed downwards, let it go back to your own vision, again!
One day you will realize that this whole life, with all its sides you know—physical, etheric, astral, and mental—aren’t even the true movements of the soul. The evolution of the soul actually begins when you finally pass the 7 heavens. This means you have the physical power as a whole and all other aspects of this realm and other realms until you return to the divine.
Remember to learn as much as possible and gain power in all its forms, because you have to be all-powerful in this realm to master it.
You might ask, “But whatever I do, I don’t see results,” because you didn’t finish being fully conscious of your unconscious repression of your own thoughts or your own shadow. You didn’t fully recognize and accept it as part of you. Your demons, fears, doubts, and imperfections are all parts of you that you have to accept fully, even your sins.
Stay strong and gather as many resources as you possibly can, because your path will be really long. Maybe millions or even billions of years in this realm for some, but you will reach the moment when you have finally mastered this world as a whole.
Becoming a Star.
The story of One Piece is rich in messages and symbolism with all its details: the future and its vision, the promises from the old, and the call that awakens people toward the Sun.
The sea is the absolute darkness that prevents Devil Fruits from taking control of their users because it is like the shadow.
Joy Boy and his powers, with his title as warrior of liberation—it’s fantastic work, and I would argue it’s literally better than any book you would read or study.
Oda created such a masterpiece that guides people from the unknown, which they call the “Void,” to the absolute light and knowledge. This is full of symbolism and esoteric wisdom.
