The best compass for your current chapter is a simple question from you now to you at the end of this chapter

“What did we wish we did?”

That’s what to do

You can then collapse this compass down into answers/directionality in the micro

“Do we do x or y”

You obey what the end-of-chapter-wisdom-compass dictates

“Should we send it or should we doomscroll in fearvoidance like a bitch”

There are so many more ways to construct your psyche than you coild ever imagine. You are stuck on 1 track of infinite. You can re-create the whole fucking thing, if you want. You are in control & you are the creator of your internal setup. And you can craft this to help you as much as you’d like. Once you see how wild you can get with it, you simultaneously see how enslaved the average mind is. Not in a cliche way, in a true & genuine way. All limits arbitrarily downloaded via inferred context. None of it is real. But because others might agree (sound out of a mouth), your fears sell them as real. Sort of hilarious. Astronomically different than any construction you currently have. You can turn a certainty into a weapon. You can turn a principle into a question. You can turn a joke into a solution. You can turn a solution into a portal.

The more you unwind the more you see has been accepted abitrarily. What do *you want? Who’s rules are you following for yourself? Why is it a rule? Why does your path need to be visible? Why can’t a step take place without a reason or direction? Why do you need a plan? Why even crash out? Why perform? Why have a timer? Why listen to hunger? Why stay quiet? Why obey comfort? Why do you need meaning? Why not just write badly?

God gave you infinite pieces & society gave you 2

Don’t get lost in connecting every dot to your ‘grand plan’. The middle isn’t
Up to you. You’ll never get every step to “fully click”, and even if you think you did, it still wouldn’t be ‘real’, and you’d just oscillate on the details anyway

Instead, Set your vision - and then focus only on “what feels right” that is directly in front of you. Win the big obvious wars in your face NOW, that feel aligned, that have been waiitng there for you in the same spot for YEARS…

And then hold your vision tightly, and go.

See & feel how you want it to end up. Then hold it tightly while simultaneously letting it go - while you attack the big aligned blocks in front of you. You won’t really know exactly how they will connect, but that’s why you have & enact faith. You work from what you do know, & Let God/serendiptity handle the rest

This will leave you with LESS questions, and that is a good thing. You see the end in mind & you see the war in your face now. Great. That’s it. That’s not only enough, that’s the design. You should feel lighter as the realization of what isn’t needed triggers a spiritual release. That is you letting go of the fake rules you’ve been holding onto.

2 solid pillars, and some faith. The rest is your canvas

When you are lost, your old ideas are always there to be crafted anew

If it has CONTINUED through time, it is MORE YOU than whatever bullshit you convinced yourself WAS YOU that inevitably burned/exploded away as a false representation of what the "essence of you" truly wants to express itself out of you *actually* is

You need to create a discernment around the word "going backwards". Going backwards into the past IS bad, as you need to MOVE THE FUCK ON. But that is NOT the same thing as "grabbing the threads/pieces of which continually & effortlessly exist around you & through time along with you" and taking those and CRAFTING them into something new/alive. Can you see the difference?

Trying to artficially re-crate what once WAS = gay

Owning/accepting your own essence and crafting what WAS ALWAYS YOU, in a new way, with new courage, ina. new time period = your divine path/mission

Don't gaslight yourself out of your own dream and then call that 'going back to the past'. THAT is "more you" than whatever the fuck you tried to distract yourself with

The only way out is THROUGH

But you also need to see the REASON why "going backwards" *is* bad. It's because it is NOT of god's essence. It is your MIND trying to RE-CREATE God's essence. It is FAKE. it is a POSER. it is artificial visual curation of something real. It is pussy shit. No courage.

And this is opposite of what is *actually courageous*, which is grabbing those existing-beyond-time truths and actually birthing into the world around you. To allow them to be seen. THAT is *actually hard*, and THAT is 'of God's essence'. It is REAL, and it is TRUE.

The 2 foundations. If you're ARTIFICIALLY CURATING, you're lost. If you're EXPRESSING/BUILDING, you're on point

And the ARTIFICIAL CURATORS can NEVER be EXPRESSORS, because they are forgetting the MOST IMPORTANT PART, which is courage to speak truth. They are trying to get aura by sitting on spiritual sidelines. Doesn't work like that. And that's why those types hate the real version of what they pretend as, because it shines the truth of their own inadequacy directly into their face, with nowhere to hide

The lie that you'll feel better or have more energy later or will be better suited later is the easiest low-hanging fruit lie that your lower self of which feeds off of the disgusting apathy that pools inside of you for being a lazy bitch feeds you. And you gobble it up every fucking day like a little fear-based scarcity BITCH.

"Haha YEAH! If i just wait 30 more seconds, i'll be better! haha!"

"if I just wait 4 more months, i'll be better! haha!". Head bobbling, spit slobbering, soul withering into fucking dust/crumbs of the essence that it was before you started selling it to satan for a fucking ghost of a pillow case

Your life is NOW. your dreams need to be claimed NOW. your goals need to be pursued NOW.

WHY ARE YOU WAITING.

ALLOW THE SELF-DISGUST OF THE REALIZATION OF YOU CONTINUALLY SELLING YOUR SOUL TO THE LIES OF COMFORT BURN HARDER THAN YOUR FEAR OF NOT-OKAYNESS.

God feeds the birds

"Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" - Matthew 6:26

You worry "wah what if it all goes away... wah what if it all collapses... wah wah wah"

Good. if it goes away, then it was not meant to be. And as the man that has scaled the mountain ONCE, you will then decide to become the man that scales the mountain AGAIN. Fuck it.

Birds don't have bank accounts. They don't store up their food. Yet they've eaten daily, for MILLIONS.... of YEARS.

Same with alligators. Opportunistic hunters. They just fucking sit in the water and things wander over to them. You'd think "there's no way that's sustainable". MILLIONS... OF FUCKING YEARS.

There is no point in worrying in the volatility of the game. If it ceases, so be it. If it continues providing, great. You will be fine either way, because you've carved yourself into the man who can BUILD, MAINTAIN and GROW.

Worrying solves nothing. Let God carry the burdens/responsibilities of your worries. Perform now, perform when you get there.

"every generation has thought they were living through the end of the world"

Fuck it. Ball where you can, do what you want. Expand your perspective so the FUN inside of you grows larger and dominates the FEAR holding you captive, and operate from that HIGHER MAP

TRY.

Once the realization of the verse hits and you genuinely realize "wait what the fuck... they don't store food... and they've eaten for MILLIONS of YEARS" do you get a glimpse of the truth above/beyond the smaller scarcity rape-game that you're pretending to play/be a part of

See your essence, own your essence, and step INTO your essence.

Shine as YOURSELF and what YOU KNOW is true. Fuck conforming, and fuck pretending to be small.

The world needs YOU.

Your mind is by far your biggest block. Not even close. People *say this*, but the average person can't conceptualize the absolute depth of the truth of this statement. Your MIND.... and the paradigms of which you THINK.... are your BIGGEST opps.

For beginners, it takes a monstrous amount of effort to get out of the psychological bullshit & just realizing you can win. That is the war. Realizing there is nothing stopping you, and you are hyper-powerfully attached to all the bullshit reasons/stories "why YOU can't, because YOU are the special victim". Layers and layers and layers and layers and layers of bullshit.

But once you step up & out of all of that mud/muck, it is largely 'more smooth sailing'. Reverse videogame. Boss is on level 1. And most people will never make it out, simply because they viciously defend all of the stuff that traps them, because it makes them feel special and rationalizes their failures. It is a "safe excuse" that works on themselves. And to shatter that excuse forces them to accept their own failures, which they hate doing. They would rather stay small and live in a lie than explode it, admit the suck, and rise for real

Your mind is the only thing fucking you. Fix THAT, and you too, can soar

The only thing stopping you from living the life you want is the internal shakiness/uncertainty you have that you might not "be okay", IF you forcefully go at it. Everything is underlined at this exact fear.

This is why the bible would say, in simple language, "have faith". The point is not 'wait until you feel safe', the point is "step boldly when the danger is real". God rewards the courageous.

You can continually backstep and shrink shrink shrink yourself until you're nothing but a folded piece of sheet metal with no color/bounce/fun, as you retreat to the fictitious corner of your psyche/soul of which none of you is left to exist, as you convince yourself you're somehow 'safer' in the vegged-out state of avoidance/numbness existing as a shell of your old essence of which you've savagely betrayed and shoved in a dirt closet, to never look at again

Or you can accept, turn & face your monsters - and fight.

1 is extremely gay, boring & repetitive.

The other is rewarding as fuck.

Each day is brand new, each situation is entirely unique, and every skill/limitation gets tested. And you struggle forward, building *who you are*, every step of the way.

And the BEST PART is the choice is yours.

You can either have the nuts to have FUN..... and turn around, look at it, and jump in.

or you can wait it all out. Maybe next time.

"fuck how you feel, do it anyway" *is* the answer, but it requires a light level of death-acceptance to fully enact.

Until you basically fully accept you *could* die, and detach from that fact emotionally, you will be preserving your internal emotional state due to attachment/fear. You will want to "make it feel right" before you do anything, because there is a subconscious fear that if you push too hard here, something will happen to you. I go over this in the "body trust" section of the psychotic self-confidence course

Now - unfortunately you can't artificially think away this fear. It has to be viciously burned off of you (metaphorically, har har). And this is done by following your divine path, biting off way more than you can chew (that is directionally correct), and essentially grabbing the excess weight/kinetic potential of the situational chaos you've generated & then driving it into the parts of yourself that you know are not serving you. It is essentially becoming a master of environmental/psychological/energetic curation and building UP a weighted/energetic pyramid, flipping it upside down, and then driving the point of the entire thing into what requires to be snapped. It's you & God teaming up & scorching away all of yourself that no longer serves you. It is a spiritual undertaking/endeavor at its core.

And then, once you die these 'righteous deaths' in the lane of your divine path, you fear 'another death' much less. But the fun part is realizing that each of these excruciating experiences follows an immediate rebirth, and what dies isn't *you*, but instead a smaller version of 'you' that YOU had outgrown. You shed the skin. You are born again, like the butterfly shedding its cocoon.

so the logic then becomes well, if you've already went through it... over and over and over again....

What's 1 more?

And this process happens very naturally - as long as you *keep stepping* in the lane you gotta step in. And this is why you have to go AT your fears, and not ALLOW your fears to control you.

And if you choose the courageous option... over and over and over again.... God will then continually destroy you to make you stronger - as you cannot have the flower without the rain.

And it is the destruction

That is the greatest gift.

99% of people who ever say anything to you are not worthy of an opinion on what they're speaking about. Armchair bullshitters

Additionally - if you're following your *own path* & playing your own games, that # goes down to zero. There is nobody who *can* give you advice, or help you. Some may be able to give you reference experience for bits & pieces using their own methods, but there is virtually nothing you'd be able to use anyway. Their path is too different. The context is too different. The only way it becomes applicable is if you find yourself competing with other people in some generic external game.

And IMO until you forcefully drive the wedge between the copy & paste life society pulls you in vs the life you actually *want* to be living, you don't really learn anything *actually valuable*. Exterior advice/wisdom is largely only applicable if you're on someone else's path/playing someone else's game(s), unless it is meta advice in the form of worldview/perspective, of which ironically won't really even be able to be used anyway due to the existing mental models possessed by the mind stuck in copy&pasting unable to have the glue for them to land anyway

BTW this is assuming if you're competent. If you're not competent, then you are the one launching the baseless opinions. Self-awareness

Any time you have a statement/belief that's not ALIGNED with what you want, immediately destroy it. Catch them as COPES, and engulf them in the flames of your higher self. And these include the ones you keep running on yourself that are like "iS ThIS AcTuAllY WHAt I WAnt?". No shit it is. Tell your lower self to shut the fuck up & just COMMIT.

The dude who ran the first 4 minute mile had to destroy any & all self-talk that wasn't directly supportive of "i can do this, and i will be the first".

YOUR goal(s) work the exact same way. If you're going to commit to it, then fucking commit. And a large part of this begins naturally with torching any sentence you ever utter or think to yourself in silence that doesn't make the likelihood of that result stronger. If you're going to commit, COMMIT!

You first torch all that isn't aligned with your goal, in the way that you want to do it, WITHIN YOURSELF.... so all that exists is *what does* serve it.

Allow your divine path to carve you into what you were destined to become. And this will all happen naturally as you TRY to GO DEEPER....

Less "which way? which way?which way? is it possible? can i do it?" bullshit chatter

More "deeper we go."

Focus your signal, and go.

This is why contemplating/sitting/sulking on the sidelines is totally pointless. You have no idea what you're actually attacking. The enemy doesn't have a face. You are stuck getting power-fucked by invisible forces that you're crying about while balls-deep in your bedroom crashouts

Take the masks off of the monsters that stop you & slay them 1 by 1. And the way you do this is by courageously going/stepping (you have it in you, you've just gaslit yourself you don't cuz ur stuck using other people's measuring sticks) - and AS they show up, deal with them 1 by 1

genuinely there is nothing else to fucking do. This is ALL there is to do. So drink a fucking redbull or something, & jump in.

Step 1 of doing anything is getting yourself to CONSISTENTLY do the tasks you need to do
