Summary

Core Theme

The core theme is that mastering one's mind is the most crucial factor for achieving wealth and exceptionalism, by understanding and controlling the internal mechanisms that drive actions and shape external reality.

A Roman poet, Horus, over 2,000 years

ago said, "Rule your mind or it will

rule you." And this concisely captures

why mastering the mind is the single

most important thing you can do if you

want to get rich and live a life of exceptionalism.

exceptionalism.

Now, let me be very clear. If you're

looking for some surface level quick

dopamine hit, my friend, you've

seriously found the wrong video. that's

completely fine. But I'll give you an

opportunity now just to click off. Now,

for the rest of you who are serious

about escaping a life of mediocrity,

I'm more excited than usual, if you

can't tell, because I want to introduce

you to the motherload.

This lesson is a full free course on how

to master the mind and get absurdly

rich. This is seven plus years of hard

fought wisdom condensed into one lesson.

The information here is directly

responsible for me pulling in well over

seven figures in this in this year in

profit alone. And by the way, this isn't

self-help woo woo repackage stuff. This

is a comp comprehensive lesson grounded

in psychology and neuroscience on how

you control the mind and therefore

reality. I mean, some of the stuff in

here is going to blow your mind away.

You know, people have asked to pay me

tens of thousands of dollars to teach

them the concepts and the tools that

we're going to go through. I'm giving it

all away for free. All I ask in return

is your focus and a willingness to learn.

learn.

And so in this lesson, you're going to

learn what most never do, quite frankly.

How to conquer the mind and therefore

deliberately control the thoughts that

you think, the emotions that you feel,

the actions that you take, and therefore

the reality that you get, making your

financial goals quite literally

inevitable. You know, if you're going to

watch one video that sets you up for a

generational run for 2026 and beyond,

this is the one. So, do your future self

a favor and let's dive in. And so, we're

always going to start on first

principles because we're going to be

discussing a lot of topics here, a lot

of different concepts and they need to

be built on a solid foundation. And so

the first principle which we need to

understand here is what is the true

determinant of success. Now when I say

success I'm referring to the achievement

of your financial goals. Whatever that

means to you. So from now on that word

success means that specifically the true

determinant of success means the factor

which actually causes the effect of

success the achievement of your

financial goals. It's an interesting

question. What's the difference between

someone who takes two years of

consistent action and and let's say they

make 100k per month after that good

going, right? Versus the person who

quits after a week. What's the actual

factor that determines whether you win

or lose, whether you get rich or poor?

Because if we can understand this, we

can optimize our our decisions and our

behavior around it so that we have a

pillar and an objective truth that we

can work on because most most people

optimize around the wrong things and

therefore nothing changes.

And the reason this is is because of

what I call the how-to hoax. the lie

that missing information is why you're

not rich when in reality information is

a commodity.

You see, on YouTube and other social

media platforms, there are a boatload of

people who stand to gain a boatload of

money by convincing you that the reason

you're not rich is because you're

missing some sort of secret strategy or

information or tactic. When in reality,

this obviously isn't the case. It's

imperative that you see past this grift.

Not because it's a waste of money. Sure

it is. But it's just wrong. Information

is a commodity in the modern world. If

you have a Wi-Fi connection, you have

access to the largest storehouse of

information in the you in the universe

with being the internet and then you

have AI which allows you to navigate it

so much easier. If you have initiative

and a Wi-Fi connection, you can answer

the the you can get the solution to any

problem you could ever face. If

information was the true bottleneck,

professors and librarians would be the

richest people in the world. But they

are not. And to drive this point home

further, think about it this way. 100

people join a course hypothetically.

Let's say 10 do really well, 80 do

average, 10 do really badly. The results

here are wildly different. But the

stimulus, the information is the exact

same. The information you have access to

is not going to determine whether you

get rich or not. It is not the true

determinant. Despite most people on

YouTube and other platforms trying to

convince you otherwise, the reason

they're doing this is because what

they're trying to sell you is

conveniently locked behind their course

or coaching program. You must see past

this. And so if information isn't the

true determinant of success, what is?

Well, a better question would be who is?

Because the answer concisely put is you.

It always has been you and it always

will be you. Because external reality is

simply a reflection of an internal

cause. Now to understand why you are the

determinant of the success you do or

don't see in your life, it's important

that we step back to first principles

looking at what is success. The

achievement of your financial goals down

to its irreducible components. meaning

the things that is required and

everything else is separated and got rid

of. Because when we step back and we

actually ask ourselves that question,

what we reason down to is to bridge the

gap between current reality and desired

reality. In other words, where you're at

right now and where you want to be. All

you need is a consistent sequence of

actions towards a defined target. That's

it. There is nothing else going on. And

this is an this is an imperative

limiting belief to break. This idea that

you're missing some sort of information,

but like a shiny bullet or you you're

going to read a book or watch a video

and it's going to give you the answers

that the light bulb's going to go off

and you're going to make a billion

dollars after a month. This isn't the

case. Results are generated by one

thing, consistent action towards that

defined target. There is nothing else

going on. And this gives you immense

amount of clarity when you actually

break it down to simply what is going on

and you get rid of all of the noise.

But this is of course simple to

understand but incredibly difficult to

do. And we can see this demonstrated

from this uh very simple graph which I

call the trial of reality where the

green line represents the effective

action that you're taking. And so we're

taking a consistent amount of effective

action for a long period of time. Let's

say this is a year up until this point.

And so you've been taking action for a

year in the face of overwhelming

hardship, adversity, and emotional

resistance. Every cell in your body is

to telling you to turn around. But on

top of that, if you look at the red line

of results, results are a lagging

indicator of the actions that you're

taking. And that lag time could be a

year. The results you have right now are

a product of the action you took a year

ago. Think about that. And so you could

be taking the right sorts of actions for

years potentially, but most likely

months, and you're not seeing any sort

of results at all. And so you're going

through overwhelming hardship and seeing

nothing in return. No guarantee of

results. No wonder why most people leave

their current zone of reality, their

comfort zone, and they just turn right

back. because it's simple to understand

but incredibly difficult to do. But of

course, by simplifying this, we've got

something that I call first principles

clarity, which is we just understand

what's important and what isn't. Being

able to cut through the noise and just

saying, look, if I just focus on

consistent action, that's all that

matters. And that's the lens that we're

approaching this entire lesson from.

Everything that I discussed today is

with the sole aim of making this

consistent sequence of action easy and

obvious. If you're trying to work on

something internally that isn't making

the action towards your goal easy or

obvious, it's pointless. Now, there's a

lot going on behind that action, which

is where we're going to be pulling a

couple levers. But if the end result

isn't making the action easier and more

obvious, there's no point because it's

not actually helping you succeed. That's

what first principles clarity gives us.

But why is it so unobvious and hard by

default? Well, it's very simple. It's

our human condition. You see, the last

hundred years of studies in psychology

point towards one universal truth, which

is humans avoid pain and seek pleasure.

It's part of our programming, our

condition. It's kept us alive. It's kept

us reproducing and surviving in the

Serengeti 200,000 years ago where

perhaps it served us, but not really

anymore in society. Because if you think

about it, avoiding pain and seeking

pleasure is the antithesis of what is

required in this trial that we must go

through to bridge the gap between

current reality and desired reality. We

must go through this short-term hardship

for long-term gain. It's the exact

opposite. And so it goes against our

human programming. This causes something

that is known as a self- interference

loop. And we've got a diagram of it

here. So what happens is you're at

current reality. This is where you're

currently at. And you're like, well, I

want to make money. I'm going to try and

launch, I don't know, an SMMA and my

goal is to make 30K per month. So that's

your desired reality. You begin to take

action towards it. You make your

website, you make your logo, and then

maybe you start sending some emails, you

create some content, whatever it is,

doesn't really matter. And maybe you do

that for a couple weeks, and then you

get to the discomfort zone. This is

where you just hit an overwhelming wall

of adversity, resistance, um, hardship.

These are all synonyms for each other.

And the primal wiring kicks in. This

part of you which there is a literally a

part of your identity which is trying to

keep everything the same and we'll get

on to that is fighting to keep

everything the same following this

primal wiring and eventually you go on

this comfort loop back to current

reality. At some point you were inconsistent

inconsistent

to achieve desired reality. You need to

push through this primal wiring accept

that short-term hardship for long-term

gain. Incredibly easy u simple to

understand incredibly difficult to do.

Now it's important to understand most

people fail. Most people don't get the

things they want in life. They fail to

bridge this gap between current reality

and desired reality. And if the

irreducible component of that is

consistent action, the reason they

failed is they were inconsistent. There

is no other way. You have to have quit

somewhere along the way. Because the two

options are if you don't quit, you're

either making your way towards it in

which case you're making progress or

you've made it. The only other option is

you've quit and you stopped. You see, a

lot of people make up these funny

justifications and excuses that sound

convincing in their mind, but what they

did is they quit. They were

inconsistent. Perhaps you had some sort

of convenient excuse, but you quit and

you were inconsistent. And that's

something you need to admit to yourself.

Humility is the first step to change.

And so that's why the vast majority of

people fail. They're inconsistent

because of this primal wiring, because

of this part of you that is is fighting

to keep everything the same. This

process is known as the failure

mechanism. Now, there's a lot more on

this later in terms of how we mitigate

this and how we overcome this emotional

resistance so that we can bridge that

gap and achieve your financial goals.

Now, a lot of people give pretty shitty

advice in terms of how we overcome this

failure mechanism.

So, you've got one camp here on the left

who say, "Well, you just got to take

action. You just got to work hard and

you just, you know, be you to get rich,

you must work hard. And they're of

course correct. Action is the only way

we can interact with the world around

us. The results you've got right now is

the product of all the action you've

ever taken and all the decisions you've

ever taken. But this is very

one-dimensional because what you're

doing here is you're prescribing the

symptom as the cure. You see, the

symptom is someone is struggling to take

action. They cannot push through this

discomfort zone. unconsciously or

consciously, whether they realize it or

not, they're stuck in this self-

interference loop. Whe whether it's

self-doubt or they're self-sabotaging or

they're struggling with consistency, the

the symptom is they're struggling to

take action. The cure cannot be just

take action. Do you not think you would

have tried that already? So, it's

generic. It's onedimensional. It's true,

but it's onedimensional. And then you

have another camp of thought which is

saying this is number two. I guess you

could call them spiritual folk. You got

to think your way into being rich.

You've got to feel it or you've got to

believe. And they are also right.

Emotions, thoughts, and beliefs play

such important roles in terms of the

reality that you create, but not

directly. They do not have any direct

impact on reality. It's action which is

the node that is both a cause and an

effect. What I mean by that is action

causes an effect on reality. So action

is the only way you can interact with

reality. It's the only way you can

change your circumstances. So in that

sense it's a cause but it's also an

effect because there are there are nodes

causal nodes upstream which affect the

types of action that we take. Action

doesn't happen in isolation. And so this

idea that thoughts and emotions and

beliefs directly impact reality not

true. There is no observable way of

finding. It just hasn't been proven.

This is why I avoid words like

manifestation. It means a million

different things to a million different

people. And it's a word that's been kind

of trampled on and destroyed. And I

don't like it. I don't like words you

don't have control over. And so these

people, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, but

they neglect action. Where's the action?

It doesn't matter what you're doing with

these. If you're not taking action,

nothing matters. Nothing changes.

Like most things, the truth is nuanced

and in the middle. Action is important

and so is your state and your identity

and your thoughts and emotions and your

beliefs. These all combine and work together.

together.

Taking action is the only way we make an

impact on the world. But action doesn't

happen in isolation. And so it's

important that we understand what's

going on upstream so that we can have

that impact in our life. That brings us

on to omnorphic reality which

essentially shows this at play. This

outlines the mechanism an individual

affects change on external reality. This

is everything. Think about it. I'm not

going to get into existentialist

philosophy, but the meaning to life in a

lot of ways is just doing the things

that you want to do, achieving the

things that you want, achieving goals.

This is how it works. This is how an

individual, a mind, a brain, a body

actually creates change in the world.

Modeled out accurately based in

psychology and neuroscience. not sort of

any doesn't rely on any spiritual stuff

but it does fit into that frame that

that belief of the world or that

worldview as well.

This is something that I was looking for

for the longest time in terms of the

mechanism that the internal world

creates external world the mechanism by

which this actually happens. And to me

this seems like a very underexplored topic.

topic.

why people aren't curious about how

their reality actually materializes, how

they actually create change modeled out

according to science. Now, this model is

something that I've created over 30

iterations. It's close to perfect, I

think, but I'm sure there's a few

improvements we can still make, but this

will blow your mind in terms of modeling

out how reality actually works. These

are the rules of reality. Now, if we

understand the rules of reality, we can

begin to win that game of reality to

continue that metaphor. Now, there are

six notable connections that I will

outline and explain within omnorphic

reality. And I'm going to go through

this slowly because there is a lot going

on. Perhaps you're kind of breezing past

it now and some things are making sense,

some things are not. Firstly, what do I

mean by omnorphic?

Well, omniorphism is the philosophy of

inevitable change. Omni meaning total,

morph meaning transformational change.

And so ultimately what we're looking at

here is the solution to this is

omnorphic change. Changing multiple

things at once altogether to align with

the reality that you want. That's the

solution. But to prove that solution

like any sort of math equation, you need

to show the mechanism. And this is what

we're proving. And so there are six

essentially connections or mechanisms

that we're going to show. The first one

is the overarching spine which is

self-concept and external reality that

have as you can see there is an arrow

pointing in two different directions.

They have what is known as a biirectional

biirectional

relationship. It's called reciprocal causation.

causation.

Self-concept expresses itself through

thought, emotion, and action to create

external reality, which then feeds back

as evidence to reinforce that same

self-concept in a reciprocal loop. So

self-concept simply refers to the

beliefs that you hold about yourself.

Self-concept can be replaced with um

identity or self-image. They all mean

the same thing. and what we're referring

to when we're talking about

self-concept. It's simply the collection

of beliefs that you hold about yourself

and your place in the world around you.

Now, beliefs is synonymous or can be

replaced with opinions, biases,

perceptions, interpretations,

predictions. These all mean the same

thing. And so, you have these collection

of beliefs about yourself which forms

your identity or who you believe you

are. And the self-concept is the king of

all. It sits above everything else. It's

your self-concept that defines your

outcomes. And it does this through

defining your state of being. Now, your

state of being refers to the prevailing

felt tone of your thoughts and emotions

over a given time period. Kind of like a

mood or a temperament. It's just your

thoughts and emotions together. And that

determines the actions that you take.

The actions you take, as we've

established, is how we interact with

external reality. Now, external reality

is evidence for the type of person you

are. And so this as you can see an arrow

comes back up from external reality back

to the self-concept. So the self-concept

defines external reality through the

action that you take. That external

reality which has been created by said

self-concept is now being reinforced to

confirm that self-concept. So it's in

this reinforcing loop. This birectional

relationship where they're interacting

with each other. It's dynamic.

That's the overarching spine of what's

going on here. self-concept, how who you

believe you are, your identity enforcing

itself on reality and the mechanism in

which that actually works. As I said,

this is showing how internal world

equals external world. And so, what

happens is self-concept and external

reality begin to converge because

they're reinforcing each other.

Eventually, they just sort of become

one. Who you believe you are, how you

how you view the world, who you what you

believe the world to be is what it will

be. There's a quote from I think it's

Anas Nin, a French writer who said, "You

don't see the world as it is. You see

the world as you are. It's through your

specific lens of belief."

So beliefs and your outcomes play. They

are inextricably linked. So look around

your room, your house, your car, your

bank account. What you're looking at is

your beliefs, who you believe you are,

and your capabilities, your abilities,

and what you deserve. That's the first

notable connection that we must make.

And so that's one checked off. The

second connection is between

self-concept and state of being. So

we've already defined what these are,

but what is this arrow representing?

Self-concept, who you believe you are,

state of being, that felt tone of your

thoughts and feelings together. Kind of

like a mood. How does your self-concept

determine how do what how do these

things called beliefs determine how you

think and feel? Because your state of

being is just thoughts and emotions

together. So let's go through both. How

does your se self self-concept or who

you believe you are determine emotion?

Well, if you really think about it,

emotion is your beliefs in practice. You

see, your emotion arises through the

filter of your beliefs. It's your belief

in action. Emotion is the body's

reaction to the world. It's assigning

meaning to whatever you think about a

certain thing. That's how you feel.

Let's give an example. Let's say we put

a grizzly bear into a room and it's me

and you. We both have beliefs. I would

assume that grizzly bears are dangerous

and they're something worth being scared

of. And so that belief determines the

emotional response. Our emotions arise

through the filter of our beliefs which

is going to be fear and there'll be a

bodily response of adrenaline and all

these sorts of things going on. But the

point is belief acts as something known

as a horistic.

And a horistic is a short mental uh

shortcut that your brain makes to make

quick decisions. And so you have these

overarching beliefs which are shortcuts

your brain makes for energy effic energy

efficiency so that it doesn't have to

constantly figure out what it thinks

about a certain thing. You imagine if

there was a bear in front of you and you

had to go, is that dangerous? I cannot

remember. See, so beliefs solidify

memory into meaning that you assign the

world. Quick shortcuts your brain can

make. Emotion is essentially crafted

through that shortcut. So what you feel

is representing what you believe about

the world. Whether you feel enjoyment or

sadness or pain or anger determine is

determined by what you believe to be

true about that certain situation. I

hope that connection is very clear

because this is a very important one.

Self-concept also defines the thoughts

that you think. You see, again, your

thoughts arise through the filter of

your self-concept or your beliefs.

What must also be understood here is a

lot of thoughts you can have are novel

and they're not particularly relevant.

They're not they don't really impact

much. Your your thinking is this weird

process. It's like a broken record.

There can be ones that are just

completely novel and irrelevant. You

can't essentially tie a link to belief.

But the thoughts that are impactful are

the ones that are repeated and

emotionally intense. These thoughts are

well arise through the lens of who you

believe you are because your beliefs

determine what you notice, what you pay

attention to. What you deem as

significant are beliefs in themselves.

And what you deem as significant is

going to dictate what you're thinking

about in in a moment. You know, thoughts

are a essentially a representation of

what you deem significant. That sort of

self-narrative in your mind. What you're

paying attention to, what you're

essentially adding commentary to is a

representation is an illustration of

what you believe to be important enough

to think about in the first place.

Thoughts arise through the filter of

your beliefs. Emotions rise through the

filter of your beliefs to create your

state of being. And so state of being is

simply a snapshot of who you believe you

are. It's your beliefs almost

materialized in a given moment. You

right now are a materialized state of

being which is something we know is a

thing. Emotions we can feel, thoughts we

can observe. It's your self-concept

actually crystallized or materialized

into the physical world through how you

think and how you feel. That's the

second connection. Self-concept and

state of being. Now the third connection

is state of being into action. Action is

largely determined by state of being as

how you think and feel governs the

behavior that feels natural, safe, or avoidable.

avoidable.

So action doesn't happen in isolation.

That's the nuance that we've done here.

So as you can see, action is the only

way we can interact with external

reality, and we'll get on to that. But

action doesn't happen in isolation

either. It's nuanced. It's both a cause

and an effect. And so it's emotions,

thoughts, which combine to state of

being, which predominantly control the

action that you take. Understand the

vast majority of the action you take is

either habitual, meaning it's automatic

but repeated on a daily or weekly basis,

or reactive, which is simply just

automatic but one-off. Reactive would be

like if someone threw a tennis ball at

my face, I would duck it. That's a

reaction. Ultimately, that's maybe not

so clear in terms of who you believe you

are, but your reactions are actually

going to be very clear in terms of the

defined output in terms of who you are

as a person. This defines the vast

majority of the action that you do or

don't take is the automatic action. A

small percentage of your action is

deliberate. Now, these percentages

aren't specifically accurate. The 60,

the 20, the 20 that is not

consciousness. A lot of people

misunderstand this. People say the

subconscious mind. If someone says this,

usually run for the hills because the

subconscious mind isn't a place in the

mind. You cannot point at the

subconscious mind. Consciousness is like

this curtain that you can open or close.

It simply refers to subjective

awareness, what you are aware of. And so

at some points we can be 100% deliberate

of action. So what you can do right now

is bring or open up that curtain of

awareness and become conscious of

everything that you're doing in this

very moment. That's 100%. But at a

default, your deliberate action is very

small. Like most of your day, you're

just running on autopilot. These

habitual and reactive actions. Action is

simply any output you're putting in the

external environment. And these habitual

and reactive actions are forged through

your emotional and thought patterns. You

see, emotions and thoughts are

inextricably linked. Emotions fuel

thought, and thought fuels emotion.

These patterns in terms of how you think

and feel determine the action patterns

that you create, otherwise known as

habits. The habits you create are forged

through the thoughts and emotions that

you have, but also who you believe you

are. It's very rare that you're going to

act out of alignment with the beliefs

that you hold about yourself, or at

least not for a long period of time. So,

beliefs actually have a direct impact on

action. But the point is, self-concept

is defining action through state of

being. Very rarely are you going to act

out of alignment of how you think and

how you feel. If you're feeling

confident, you're going to take

confident action. Likewise, if you're

feeling anxious, your action will

reflect that. That's the third

connection that I'm sure we've securely

made. The fourth connection is, as I

alluded to earlier, action and external

reality. This is very simple. Action is

the only way you can interact with the

world around you. Drill this into your

mind. There is no way you can think your

way into being rich, feel your way into

being rich directly. If there's no

action, nothing happens. One of my

favorite sayings, nothing changes and

nothing changes. If you don't change

action actions, you won't change your

results. And so that's why that's the

only arrow connecting to external

reality. Now, as I said, it's nuanced.

There are things upstream of action

which are of course going to affect it,

which is what we're essentially modeling

out here. But it all starts and ends

with action. And you cannot, I guess,

underestimate that. Action cannot be

underestimated because it is the only

thing that's important.

And so that brings us on to the fifth

connection, but this is more of a

mechanism. This is the automatic

reinforcement mechanism. The ARM is the

feedback mechanism that converts lived

experience and outcomes into memory and

identity evidence.

So this is a theoretical

mechanism. It's not something that

actually exists, but it's a model that

uses to represent how this thing

actually works. So remember that

external reality feeds as evidence for

who you are. Well, the ARM is simply

this mechanism that feeds evidence. It's

kind of like memory. So something

happens, you remember it. That memory

gets feed fed up to your self-concept or

the the beliefs about the the thing you

had an experience of which is part of

your self-concept. And that that

evidence either supports that belief and

therefore strengthens it or it

contradicts and it weakens it. And so

the point is we've got red I guess these

are diamonds next to the actions that we

take, the thoughts we think and the

emotions we feel. Most importantly, the

reality that we have because all of

these nodes serve as evidence for the

type of person that you are. If you're

feeling confident, that's evidence for a

confident person. If you're thinking

confident thoughts, it's not

insignificant evidence that you are a

confident person. If you're taking

confident action, that's a very very

compelling evidence that you are a

confident person. And then if people are

asking you how com why how you're so

confident in external reality, that's

incredibly and compelling advice that

you're a confident person. And so the

ARM takes all of these different pieces

of evidence from different nodes and

essentially feeds it back to the

self-concept and the beliefs relevant to

confidence. So that belief about

confidence will begin. Let's say you

have a belief that you're not a

confident person. And this evidence

contradicts that. So it begins to flip.

But what happens is because this

self-concept is essentially enforcing

action and therefore external reality.

Most of the evidence being fed back is

confirming. It's stuck in this loop. As

we established in the first connection,

that's the ARM. But the EAM is an

important thing not to neglect here. The

emotional amplification mechanism which

works in conjunction with the ARM. The

EAM determines how strongly an

experience reinforces belief weighting

evidence by emotional intensity and

direction. So what that means is not all

evidence is created equal.

If you took action that was in wrapped

in emotional intensity and confidence,

that piece of action that creates a

piece of evidence through experience is

more compelling than action that was

done without any sort of emotional intensity.

intensity.

You can't remember last week when you

were driving in your car on Tuesday. You

can't remember what you were doing, but

you can remember the first time you were

driving. Emotion is the language of

memory. The reason you can remember this

is because it was emotionally intense

and therefore it was tagged with

emotion. Emotion is the language of

memory. When we relive things, we feel

it in the body. Emotion tags memory. And

so emotion plays this double role which

is incredibly important. We've already

established emotion is the largest

shareholder determining the action that

you do or don't take. You act in

alignment with who you feel like. But

emotion always also plays this double

role in terms of essentially defining

which evidence is compelling and which

isn't. You see, the strength of the

emotional experience determines whether

the evidence produced with the action

you took or the evidence you found in

external reality is compelling or not.

The more emotionally intense, the more

compelling the evidence is towards

changing or or enforcing the belief in

question. And so the strength of the

emotion is going to dictate how

compelling the evidence actually is in

terms of changing things or keeping

things the same. But also the direction

of the emotion determines the

I guess the direction of the evidence

because think about it if you take

action and you were feeling anxious. If

you took so if you took action that you

were trying to become a confident person

but that was wrapped in a motion of

anxiety and fear and doubt that piece of

evidence isn't going to build up beliefs

that you are now a confident person

because it was wrapped in emotional

doubt which suggests which is compelling

evidence that you are not yet that

person. And so that emotional doubt

essentially determines the direction of

the evidence and in terms of how it

impacts belief. So this would actually

continue to enforce this belief that you

are not a confident person because it

the emotion contradicts the action.

They're not congruent. And so emotion

defines how compelling the evidence is

that the ARM uh sequence up and also the

direction of the evidence in terms of

how it impacts belief. And so the ARM

selects the evidence and feeds it up.

The EAM filters it for strength and direction.

direction.

This is kind of the model mapped out.

And so that's the final out of the six

mechanisms that we're looking at here.

The real conclusion that we're coming to

here is that action creates reality.

Yes, of course that is correct and

cannot be neglected. But action is

produced by deeper internal forces that

must be understood to change outcomes.

There's this ancient Greek philosopher

Heracolitis who said character is

destiny. What this is showing is who you

are being, meaning your self-concept,

determines what you get. A lot of people

say, "Oh, well, you what you think about

yourself is how reality will unfold or

how you feel is how reality will be or

how you act is how reality will be."

These are partial representations of the

truth. No one to my knowledge has

accurately mapped out reality and how we

an individual re essentially interacts

with it and creates change like this.

Thoughts do create your reality but it's

a part of a deeper puzzle and a deeper

causal network. This is the entire

causal network connected and this is how

it works. Now what we're going to do

later on in this video is how we

actually change using this information.

As I alluded to, omnorphic change,

changing your beliefs and your emotions

and your thoughts and your actions all

at once. Rather than this onedimensional

just do more, we're omnorphically

changing and aligning with our desired

reality. But this wouldn't be possible

if you don't understand how this works.

Understanding is the prerequisite of

control. And what you've gained here is

something known as reality literacy. You

now understand how reality actually

works. the rules. This is such a

competitive advantage. I could leave you

here and you would be able to make a lot

of change in your life just by

understanding how these different nodes

actually interact with each other and

defining these mechanisms. But we're not

stopping there. Oh no, we're going a

whole lot further because sure, we

understand the mechanism which

determines reality, but we need to get

practical. And we're going to do that by

looking into the cycle of mediocrity.

This is what happens when action tries

to change but identity stays the same

causing pro uh progress to rise and

collapse repeatedly. As said most people

don't understand this is going on as I

mentioned and this is what the vast

majority of people get stuck in the

cycle of mediocrity which is this

oscillation of progress and momentum

where you can see identity preserving

itself. This is how essentially the

model of reality is mapping itself out

onto your life at the moment before you

actually even understand that it's here,

that it's going on. Of course, it's

operating in the background. You just

don't understand it. And what it's doing

is creating this cycle of mediocrity.

And so, we can map this out very

practically and see what's going on

practically in terms of how we're

getting stuck and therefore the solution

because understanding is the

prerequisite to control. And so what

we've got here is a graph. On the y ais

we've got effective action, meaning the

amount of action you're taking, the

progress that you're making towards the

goal. On the x-axis, we've got time down

at the bottom here. And so this

oscillating wave, transverse wave or uh

snake up and down type line is

representing the effective action you're

taking. So you're taking loads of

action, then you're not really taking

much action, then loads and not. And so

we're going to go through a a cycle

here. Now, when I mapped this out,

this was so clear. This maps onto every

aspect of your life that you try to

change that you identity starts to

conflict with, whether it be diet, gym,

exercise, uh business, work of any kind,

any goal you could possibly have, it can

map out to this very clearly. And this

blew my mind when I actually figured

this out. And this is how it works. And

this is really accurate in terms of what

actually goes on in your life. This

isn't a unique curse. Everybody

struggles with this. And so we have the

starting point. Now, you'll understand

why we start here and why we're at the

bottom in a moment, but this is just

where we're going to start for arbitrary

reasons. And let's say you have a goal.

You want to achieve something. And when

you start, it's great. you you have high

confidence, high motivation to take

action and essentially, yeah, that line

of effective action is increasing.

You're beginning to make more progress,

beginning to build momentum. You're on

that upward trajectory, but eventually

you reach a point. Now, this is self-

interference. I'm not going to scroll

all the way up because we've made a lot

of progress, but you remember that graph

that self interference is that loop that

the primal wiring is causing. Well,

that's what's going on here. We re we

meet adversity, resistance, we meet

hardship. These are all synonyms for

each other. And the action that we're

taking falters once we meet that

resistance. Nine times out of 10, most

people, as we said, had to be

inconsistent to not have achieved the

goal. So inconsistency comes from

somewhere. And it's not when you're

feeling good, it's when you're feeling

bad. Emotion is the large determinant of

the action you do or don't take. And so

it's this negative emotion which

essentially descends on you like a fog.

You cannot think rationally and

therefore avoidant behavior begins. And

this is different emotions for different

people. This could be fear or it could

be doubt or even stuff like anger,

apathy, like a lack of motivation,

procrastination, which is also an

emotional state. It's different things

for different people. But something

causes you to slow down eventually.

Maybe it's uh take a day off, drop in

intensity, procrastinate, but then a day

becomes a week and a week becomes a

month. And then essentially, you begin

to tear down your own progress. Now, not

taking action, if you're not growing,

you're dying. So, not taking action,

inconsistency is is breaking down all of

the progress you're making. But also, a

lot of the time you find people who

start taking action in the opposite

direction. It's not that they come back

to equilibrium, it's that they start,

you know, self-sabotaging. You see this

a lot with diets when people are dieting

and then they just snap back and then

they start feasting which is tearing

down the progress even more than what

their baseline is. And so what you see

is this progress and momentum to

continue to go down in this negative

emotional spiral. What's interesting

here is that the emotion the emotional

state which caused this inconsistency

which we call the failure mechanism.

More on that to come isn't necessarily

the thing that prolongs this negative

emotional spiral. So for example, maybe

it's a load of doubt that comes up and

you stop working

and then that that will stop you for

maybe three to four days. But what

continues this is the guilt and shame

that came from you stopping working. And

so you now feel loads of guilt and shame

for stopping in the first place or

procrastinating and dropping in

intensity. And then that guilt and shame

is a negative emotion in itself. It

feels bad. So you continue to numb that

guilt and shame and avoid it through the

negative behavior which is bringing you

down. And then more guilt and shame

comes. So it creates this vicious cycle

which brings you down and down to rock

bottom. Now rock bottom is your identity floor.

floor.

What we just touched there was your

identity ceiling. So what we're seeing

is action just ping ponging between the

ceiling and the floor. Self-concept

defining your outcomes. If you try and

inter essentially if you try and change

that that uh mechanism. If you try and

come here and you just say, "Well, I'm

going to try and change my life through

20% deliberate action alone," you're

going to get wiped out by emotions,

thoughts, and state of being being

enforced by the self-concept. That's

what's going on here. We're just

practically mapping this out in terms of

how it looks in someone's life. But you

don't you have tolerances. You have

minimum standards. Even the identity

you're at right now, you're not just

going to continue until death. You have

rock bottom where the pain of staying

the same. Your life sucks so much is

more than the pain of change. And

basically this cycle repeats. You notice

we've we've uh ended up where we started

at rock bottom. You get the goal again.

You get excited. You get motivated. And

then you reach the same peak and the

same thing continues up and down. What

goes up comes down. What goes down comes

up. And it's just this cycle. Now, what

you'll notice is if we actually put a

line of best fit through this entire

mechan this entire oscillation is we're

actually making zero progress because if

you're not consistent, you're just not

accumulating any sort of

evidence. You're not accumulating

anything really. All of your progress

dies as you're going on the downward

phase. Now, maybe you're making a slight

upward trajectory, but the point is this

happens to everybody. this idea that

you're and this could be you're on for a

couple days and then you not for a

couple days or it could be weeks or it

could even be years. You're like 3 years

on three years off. It doesn't matter

the time period. It's just the fact it's

unsustainable. And this is what most

people are stuck in their entire lives.

It's called the cycle of mediocrity

because when within these two boundaries

represents your identity, the ceiling

and the floor. Your identity represents

the safe, the normal, which is by

definition mediocre.

And so this is the curse. This is the

cycle that isn't just unique to you. I

was stuck in this for years, years of

just bouncing back and forth in all

goals that I had. I tried. I was so

ambitious but just felt lazy. But the

point is you're not being lazy. This is

a preservation mechanism of the

identity. You know, it's not that you

lack discipline. is that you're trying

to take action whilst keeping your

identity fixed at a point. This is a

very poignant, I guess, visual

illustration of how this works. So, you

continue to take action. It doesn't

matter how much action you take. The

more you take, the further you're

getting away from that original

identity, the more that elastic band

metaphorical is stretching. The more it

stretches, the more likely you're going

to snap back to where you're originally

at. So, if you're not omnorphically

changing, changing all things at once,

which is action and identity together,

plus thoughts and emotions and all that

other stuff. We'll get on to that. If

you're not doing that, the more action

you take, the more resistance you're

you're encountering. And this creates a

inevitable environment of collapse. It

doesn't matter how high you go, you're

always going to snap back down. So, it's

unsustainable. You see, most people try

and create a new future whilst holding

on to the past. They they plant apple

seeds and they expect it to grow

mangoes. You cannot create a new future

whilst holding on to the identity of the

past. It's your identity which

determines change. And so most people

try to move with action alone. I call

these doing goals. It's like turning up

to a gunfight with a pair of chopsticks.

It's one-dimensional and quite frankly,

you don't stand a chance by just doing

action alone. Especially if this is

something you've tried before, we need

to make it easier for oursel. We need to

make the action more obvious and easy

through tools that we're going to go

through coming up. So the real problem

here is trying to do more whilst

clinging to the identity patterns and

programs of the old. Now to resolve this

conflict, we need to look at the hidden

internal trial that essentially occurs

between selves that causes this volatility.

volatility.

how it forms, how it works, and how to

win. Because what we're looking at here

is a conflict between identities. When

you set a goal, when you commit to a

goal and you begin taking action towards

it, you are setting an intention to

change a future reality that doesn't yet

exist yet. This has an internal cascade

that happens un under the hood that

nobody really sees and you don't know

about, but explains why we get stuck in

these sorts of loops. It's called

omniorphic trial.

It's the trial between the old version

of yourself that wants to stay the same

and the version of you that represents

change. These are battling for influence

whether you realize it or not. Only one

can win. Now most people, the old

identity wins and they continue to stay

the same. But we're going to understand

how this trial works,

the rules of the trial, and how we win.

How we can use our own weapons to make

the action more obvious and easy.

linking back to those first principles

and win this omnorphic trial because

this trial is a model. Of course, there

is not a the courtroom in your mind.

That is not a trial. But what this is is

a model that is synthesizing topics and

proven ideas and evidence from

psychology and neuroscience that we know

work for a fact, but synthesizing it

into something that un people can

understand and actually take action on.

Simplify. Less is more. Da Vinci said

simplicity is the ultimate

sophistication. And that's what we're

trying to do here. If you act as if

there is a trial of you versus you, you

will be tapping into what is objectively

happening. It's a model that we can

follow. And this trial can be broken

down into three phases. The first phase

is known as the fracturing of self. And

so when you commit to a meaningful goal,

essentially what happens is you have

your original self-concept, which we

remember we mapped at the top of the

omnorphic chain. This original self,

these beliefs that hold you together,

fractures into two when you commit

yourself to a goal. You have your old

self, which represents the version of

you that got you up until this point.

The version of you that represents the

same, and the desired self. This is the

version of you that was ambitious enough

to set the goal in the first place.

Because if you think about it,

if you set a goal, you wouldn't set a

goal if you didn't think you could make

it. That that doesn't make sense. Humans

don't do things without incentives. At

least that you think in your mind, you

have a belief, it might be weak and

small and you can't see it yet, that you

can do this, that you are capable, you

are deser, you you are deserving of this

goal. That is the desired self. It does

exist. And so the desire desired self at

first is of course smaller. Now both of

these selves, identities, these entities

are built by beliefs. They're held

together by beliefs. And this is no

different. We already established that

earlier. They fracture into two, but

these still are held together by

beliefs. So the old self is held

together by beliefs known as limiting

beliefs. These are the beliefs that hold

together the old self.

And these are by definition limiting.

They're stopping us from essentially

achieving more in life, which is why we

define them as limiting. There is no

such thing as a good or bad belief. Only

in the context of our goal, whether it's

limiting or empowering. Now, the desired

self, as I hinted to, is held together

by empowering beliefs about yourself and

your capabilities and your ability to

achieve the goal. And so, these all act

like identities. And they have their own

habits, their own emotional states,

their own thought patterns. This can materialize

materialize

very tangibly. These aren't abstract

ideas. As I said, this is all going on

in the mind, but this one's especially

physical. It's especially something that

you can observe.

Do you ever go after a goal and you're

taking relentless action towards it and

in the morning you've got this voice of

doubt the the voice in your head that is

trying to get you to stop and stay the

same and go back to where you started

and then the other voice in the

afternoon after you take some action and

you feel better and it's encouraging you

and you're saying yeah I can do this I

can achieve this goal it's almost like

there's two voices in your head in your

head an angel on one shoulder a devil on

the other one is representing the old

self one is representing that desired

self, the person you need to become to

achieve the goal. This is physically

materializing these two selves, the

fracturing of the selves, two voices

tangibly coming up in your head. Two

different emotional states. In the

morning, you're a different person to

the person you're in the afternoon.

That's how physical and tangible and

observable this is. Your identity

fractures into two selves. And this

creates a huge amount of tension, which

is obviously why they're going to trial

and only one can win. Now let's

understand the old self a bit better. It

is operated out of the limbic centers of

the brain which we don't need to get

technical but it's essentially working

and operating out of the emotional

centers of the brain. It is preservation

focused and it views any sort of change

anything that's unfamiliar outside of

that boundary of its familiar outside of

its identity as a threat. Change equals

threat and therefore it will blanket any

change with emotional resistance. That

is the weapon the old self uses to stay

the same. Now the desired self on the

contrary operates out of the neo

neoortex the frontal lobe areas of the

brain where it's known for executive function

function

making the investment in short-term

hardship for long-term gain. It's future

facing and it obviously observes change

as something positive, something

worthwhile because this is the goal that

we want to achieve. It's the it's the

individual that created the goal in the

first place. And so, of course, it's

going to stand by it. And this is

synonymous with emotional states like

confidence, calm, encouragement, excitement.

excitement.

And as I said, most people think goals

are just deciding you're going to have

something, acting towards it, and then

getting it and achieving it. That's

linear. That's not really what's going

on. This is going on under the hood.

When you actually commit yourself to

changing a future reality, this is

what's the intention creates. Your your

identity fractures into two

subidentities or subselves that compete

for influence. And they compete for

influence in the omnorphic trial.

And so there's a trial that essentially

creates itself. Theoretically, of

course, this is a model. The trial

between the two selves begins. Only one

can win. Now, there's different things

going on here, and I'm going to walk you

through everything that's going on so

you can understand this visual

representation. So, we've got you in the

middle. This is you in the sense of uh your

your

who you are in a given period, who

you're actually being because, as I

said, you can tangibly be two different

people in the in the course of separate,

you know, within hours of each other.

And so we've got the room of the old

self and the room of the desired self.

Each self, each identity has a room

and a room represents a state of being.

So as I said, all these identities

fracture into two and now they have

their own separate omnorphic chain. I

think it's important that we actually go

back up just briefly to the model. So

what I mean here is this self-concept

fractures into two. And so just

basically copy and paste the state of

being to external reality chain. These

individually have their own chain of

reality. These are sort of two

individuals existing within the mind.

This is how it materializes. And so with

that being established, each self has

their own state of being, their own

emotional and thought prevailing felt

tone, which is what a state of being is.

So the old self and its state of being

is going to be doubt, anxiety, uncertainty,

uncertainty,

fear, procrastination, apathy, anger,

all of those resistant and negative

emotions because ultimately we're

exposing the old self to new stimulus.

As we said, the old self views views

change as a threat. And so it's going to

be all emotions that one encounters when

they encounter a threat.

And the old self has a survival bias.

It's not just going to die. And so it's

fighting for influence using weapons of

influence. And we'll get into those in a

second. But the point is a survival

bias. All organisms have a survival

bias. Is this I guess will or or or

programming to bias towards survival

over death. And your old self is no

different. The identity will fight to

stay the same. Beliefs fight to magnify

and maintain themselves. And we've

already established that in that

birectional relationship between

external reality and your identity. And

so the rooms represent your state of

being. Your state of being rep

essentially selects your behavior and

your beliefs. Now we've already

established that that the state of being

that you have. So if your aligned state

is with the desired self, it's going to

reflect the action that you start

taking. If you're feeling confident,

which is the aligned state of being,

you're going to start taking confident action.

action.

So that's fine. It selects for behavior,

but it also selects for beliefs. You

see, beliefs aren't something we can

just switch on and off like a light

switch. I cannot just say, I believe I'm

a confident person. I believe that I am

a millionaire. We just can't do that.

You need to build an undeniable stack of

proof to change belief. Remember, belief

requires evidence to change. Belief is a

subjective value judgment that has built

over time based off the experience and

evidence that you've had in your life.

Most of them are inherited from other

people. Most of them do not serve you.

But as we said, we've got two

individuals with two different beliefs,

a limiting set of beliefs and an

empowering set of beliefs. When we

choose a state, so if we're in a

confident state aligned with that

desired self, we are essentially

activating those beliefs that hold

together the desired self, the

empowering beliefs that we have. Because

what you'll notice is that what

basically these two selves hold

counteracting beliefs or contradictory

beliefs. You see the old self represents

change as a threat. The new self or the

desired self represents change as good.

The old self doesn't think you can do it

and you're not capable. The new self

thinks you can. We've got count

contradictory beliefs on two ends of

this duality, this polarity.

Now, you may be asking, well, how can an

individual hold two beliefs or two

essentially conflicting beliefs at once?

Well, they can during the trial. This

creates something known as cognitive

dissonance, which is the uncomfortable

feeling that you have. Your your actions

are essentially counteracting or

contradicting the beliefs that you have.

But there's a tension between these two

beliefs. But you cannot operate under

two beliefs at one time. Two

contradictory beliefs at one time. And

so the beliefs that we follow because

remember belief determines the actions

that we take ultimately. The beliefs

that we hold is determined by state. And

so it's the state of being that acts

like a switch that determines which I

guess list of beliefs that we are

abiding by. Whether it's we are being

the old self and following its beliefs

or whether we are being the new the

desired self and following its set of

empowering beliefs. State selects for

the behavior that you do but also the

beliefs that you follow almost like the

self that you are becoming. And so when

you're in this confident aligned state

with the desired self, you are

activating and being the aligned person,

the desired individual, the version of

you for whom the goal is inevitable.

That is the individual that you have

become because you are activating those

beliefs and you are acting accordingly.

But on the other end, when you're in the

old room and you're the aligned state of

the old self, you are activating the

beliefs of the old self. And now you've

become the individual that represents

the old self. and its limiting beliefs.

So as I said, you can be two different

people in one day. This tangible

conflict and tension, this is how it

works, but it's selected by state. And

state is represented by the room that

you are in. So you can begin to realize

that how you feel is going to be very

important in terms of the outcome of the

trial. Now, thirdly, action from a room

is a vote. So action as we've

established is the only way we can

interact with the environment around us.

It's the only way we can actually affect

change. It's the only way we can cause

an effect on reality. And so downstream

from state is of course the action you

take. But the action counts as a vote

during this trial. Now votes are added

up. And of course, your desired reality

is a certain vote total that you have to

reach with your action to bridge the gap

between where you're at and where you

want to be. It's only consistent action.

That's all we need. Same with desire. Uh

uh the old reality or the old self is

that we can take actions that go against

our goal. Self- interference,

self-sabotage. Those vote vote dos can

accumulate and there's a certain number

that you have to reach to get back to

the old reality. Now, what you must

understand is that the number of votes

that you need to do to get back to the

old reality is significantly less than

the number of votes or actions that you

need to take to get to the desired

reality because obviously you're so much

more familiar with the path you took the

path back to the old self because you've

already come in this direction. You

already are familiar with that territory

than trying to forge the path to

unfamiliar territory which is the

desired self and the desired reality

that you're trying to achieve. So, it's

so much easier to essentially lose the

trial than it is to win the trial. Now,

weight of the vote matters. As we

established, the EAM filters action in

terms of how compelling it is, how

essentially convincing this action is to

in uh magnify and maintain belief or

change belief depending on whether it

supports the belief or it's

contradictory evidence. And so these

votes maybe you one like piece let's

just say arbitrary a piece of action

with no emotion equals one vote a piece

of action with loads of emotion and

confidence equals 10 votes. One thing

that is worth mentioning here is if you take action in line with the aligned

take action in line with the aligned version of you the desired self but it's

version of you the desired self but it's from the old room meaning you're taking

from the old room meaning you're taking action towards the goal. You're doing

action towards the goal. You're doing whatever the inputs are for your

whatever the inputs are for your business or your vehicle, but you're

business or your vehicle, but you're feeling doubt and anxiety and fear. This

feeling doubt and anxiety and fear. This isn't very compelling evidence that you

isn't very compelling evidence that you are this desired s version of yourself,

are this desired s version of yourself, the version of you for whom the goal is

the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. In fact, it's actually

inevitable. In fact, it's actually evidence that you're not that person and

evidence that you're not that person and you're not capable if you're taking

you're not capable if you're taking action with a huge amount of fear

action with a huge amount of fear because that's suggesting that you don't

because that's suggesting that you don't yet have the goal yet. So, it actually

yet have the goal yet. So, it actually enforces the old self. And so a motion

enforces the old self. And so a motion as we established essentially determines

as we established essentially determines the uh the

the uh the weight of a vote and the direction of

weight of a vote and the direction of the vote in which in terms of which set

the vote in which in terms of which set of beliefs which self it actually in

of beliefs which self it actually in reinforces. Now number five rule of this

reinforces. Now number five rule of this trial is that state of act state and

trial is that state of act state and action are leading indicators of

action are leading indicators of identity. So as I said earlier identity

identity. So as I said earlier identity or just the beliefs you hold about

or just the beliefs you hold about yourself isn't something you can switch

yourself isn't something you can switch on and off. They're something that

on and off. They're something that accumulates slowly based off evidence.

accumulates slowly based off evidence. The actions you take and the states you

The actions you take and the states you are feeling is a leading indicator of

are feeling is a leading indicator of the identity that you are. And so when

the identity that you are. And so when you are in the room of the desired self

you are in the room of the desired self and you are that aligned state and

and you are that aligned state and you're taking that action, those beliefs

you're taking that action, those beliefs are accumulating and and and reinforcing

are accumulating and and and reinforcing themselves and the beliefs of the old

themselves and the beliefs of the old self are breaking down. But this is

self are breaking down. But this is something that happens slowly. It's a

something that happens slowly. It's a essentially a lagging indicator. Your

essentially a lagging indicator. Your identity is a lagging indicator of the

identity is a lagging indicator of the actions and the and the and the emotions

actions and the and the and the emotions that you have, how they combine together

that you have, how they combine together and form new evidence. But that evidence

and form new evidence. But that evidence takes time. You need multiple stacks of

takes time. You need multiple stacks of evidence on a daily basis for weeks if

evidence on a daily basis for weeks if not months on end to permanently shift

not months on end to permanently shift belief. And then the belief is what's

belief. And then the belief is what's going to cause that lasting change as we

going to cause that lasting change as we have established in omnorphic reality.

have established in omnorphic reality. It's like, you remember that analogy

It's like, you remember that analogy with the the pin and the elastic band?

with the the pin and the elastic band? It's like moving the identity and the

It's like moving the identity and the action together. So there's not this

action together. So there's not this stretching and this resistance that

stretching and this resistance that occurs.

occurs. They're the rules of this reality. Now,

They're the rules of this reality. Now, both of these selves are essentially

both of these selves are essentially fighting for influence. They are trying

fighting for influence. They are trying to capture your state of being and bring

to capture your state of being and bring you into their room so that you take

you into their room so that you take action in alignment with their goals and

action in alignment with their goals and their vote total accumulates and they

their vote total accumulates and they win the trial. This is how they win the

win the trial. This is how they win the trial. This is how a self influences you

trial. This is how a self influences you in terms of how you feel. And so it does

in terms of how you feel. And so it does this through weapons of influence. Each

this through weapons of influence. Each self has weapons it can use to influence

self has weapons it can use to influence your state and therefore the beliefs

your state and therefore the beliefs you're following, the action you take,

you're following, the action you take, and ultimately the outcome of the trial.

and ultimately the outcome of the trial. And so only one can win. Now, as I said,

And so only one can win. Now, as I said, this is actually quite a good visual

this is actually quite a good visual illustration of this. State of being

illustration of this. State of being acts like this switch. You can only be

acts like this switch. You can only be in one room. You can you can you you

in one room. You can you can you you can't occupy two rooms at once. You can

can't occupy two rooms at once. You can either be in the desired room or the old

either be in the desired room or the old room. And this is going to typically

room. And this is going to typically determine the outcome of the trial. And

determine the outcome of the trial. And so the outcome is when oneself

so the outcome is when oneself accumulates enough votes to dominate

accumulates enough votes to dominate identity and therefore reality. And so

identity and therefore reality. And so the goal for us who want to change and

the goal for us who want to change and escape a life of mediocrity and get rich

escape a life of mediocrity and get rich or whatever the goal is, you need to be

or whatever the goal is, you need to be in the desired room that represents the

in the desired room that represents the desired self. feeling that state, taking

desired self. feeling that state, taking the aligned action

the aligned action and therefore accumulating enough votes

and therefore accumulating enough votes consistently, whether this is for months

consistently, whether this is for months or for years, and consistently doing

or for years, and consistently doing that until the vote totals reach a

that until the vote totals reach a number or you're just taking enough

number or you're just taking enough consistent action to actually reach your

consistent action to actually reach your desired reality. That's essentially how

desired reality. That's essentially how this works. This is a very compelling

this works. This is a very compelling model to understand how yourself is

model to understand how yourself is fracturing and actually competing with

fracturing and actually competing with each other. But how are we influencing

each other. But how are we influencing state? How is one self, but specifically

state? How is one self, but specifically the old self, because this is the one

the old self, because this is the one that wins the vast majority of the time,

that wins the vast majority of the time, bringing you from neutral into its room.

bringing you from neutral into its room. How does it do this?

How does it do this? Well, the weapon and the only weapon

Well, the weapon and the only weapon that the old self has is emotional

that the old self has is emotional resistance. So, you remember this

resistance. So, you remember this initial, it's at the very top of the

initial, it's at the very top of the document. And by the way, I will put

document. And by the way, I will put this document as some sort of PDF in the

this document as some sort of PDF in the description so you can follow through,

description so you can follow through, take notes, all the rest of it. Probably

take notes, all the rest of it. Probably should have mentioned that at the start,

should have mentioned that at the start, but if you're watching by now, you know

but if you're watching by now, you know what you're doing.

what you're doing. This is the original essentially uh

This is the original essentially uh visual illustration I showed of the

visual illustration I showed of the irreducible component of success. It's

irreducible component of success. It's simply consistent action to bridge

simply consistent action to bridge current reality with desired reality.

current reality with desired reality. Now, between current reality and desired

Now, between current reality and desired reality, we've got this red block. This

reality, we've got this red block. This is the zone of resistance because this

is the zone of resistance because this is outside of your current reality and

is outside of your current reality and therefore your current identity and

therefore your current identity and therefore your current zone of familiar

therefore your current zone of familiar or that boundary of what you are normal

or that boundary of what you are normal with essentially or what you find normal

with essentially or what you find normal because your identity represents

because your identity represents essentially what you know and what you

essentially what you know and what you famili what you're familiar with. And so

famili what you're familiar with. And so emotional resistance is inevitably going

emotional resistance is inevitably going to arise when you go towards your goal.

to arise when you go towards your goal. If it's not arising, this means you're

If it's not arising, this means you're not making any progress. This means you

not making any progress. This means you haven't actually left your current

haven't actually left your current comfort zone and therefore you're not

comfort zone and therefore you're not changing reality. It's inevitable that

changing reality. It's inevitable that you will face emotional resistance. And

you will face emotional resistance. And this is essentially how it works. So you

this is essentially how it works. So you reach something that's unfamiliar

reach something that's unfamiliar to the to the current self or the old

to the to the current self or the old self, a task that threatens it. So let's

self, a task that threatens it. So let's think of think of an example. Maybe a

think of think of an example. Maybe a cold call. If you take a cold call,

cold call. If you take a cold call, there's a chance that someone books a

there's a chance that someone books a sales call with you and you close a

sales call with you and you close a client. And that means you actually

client. And that means you actually begin to shift reality. That threatens

begin to shift reality. That threatens the old version of yourself. And so when

the old version of yourself. And so when you're about to do that task or when you

you're about to do that task or when you plan to do it, when you set an

plan to do it, when you set an intention, resistance arises. So for

intention, resistance arises. So for example, this cold call, it may be fear,

example, this cold call, it may be fear, doubt, anxiety. This fear and doubt and

doubt, anxiety. This fear and doubt and anxiety creates emotional fog.

anxiety creates emotional fog. Emotional fog is it's it's like a fog.

Emotional fog is it's it's like a fog. descends down on your mind. You enter

descends down on your mind. You enter sort of fight or flight. You can only

sort of fight or flight. You can only look at what's going on right in front

look at what's going on right in front of you. You cannot zoom out with

of you. You cannot zoom out with perspective like you did before. That

perspective like you did before. That rational intention which set the goal in

rational intention which set the goal in the first place and said, "Look, it's

the first place and said, "Look, it's going to be hard, but I'm going to get

going to be hard, but I'm going to get it." You just throw that out the window

it." You just throw that out the window and it a rational thinking and and

and it a rational thinking and and action starts taking over because this

action starts taking over because this emotional fog has descended down on you

emotional fog has descended down on you and you start taking irrational

and you start taking irrational behavior. This irrational behavior is

behavior. This irrational behavior is avoidance. You take the behavior that is

avoidance. You take the behavior that is the inverse of the behavior which caused

the inverse of the behavior which caused the resistance in the first place. And

the resistance in the first place. And so if it's the cold call, you don't do

so if it's the cold call, you don't do the cold call and you stop working. That

the cold call and you stop working. That will get rid of this emotional

will get rid of this emotional resistance. Now the old self is in

resistance. Now the old self is in control. This emotional fog descended

control. This emotional fog descended and the old self has dragged you into

and the old self has dragged you into its room. is now under you're now

its room. is now under you're now essentially being the old version of

essentially being the old version of yourself through the beliefs that you

yourself through the beliefs that you are operating by and therefore the

are operating by and therefore the action that you're taking. So the action

action that you're taking. So the action follows and this is self- interference

follows and this is self- interference or self-sabotage. Votes are cast from

or self-sabotage. Votes are cast from that old room. You continue to take

that old room. You continue to take action because that action and emotion

action because that action and emotion builds into each other. It fuses. Votes

builds into each other. It fuses. Votes are cast from the old room. Evidence

are cast from the old room. Evidence begins to accumulate. Trial is lost.

begins to accumulate. Trial is lost. Trial is lost. That's this is what

Trial is lost. That's this is what happens to the vast majority of people.

happens to the vast majority of people. They start trudging outside of the

They start trudging outside of the current reality and then they come right

current reality and then they come right back to where they started. 99% of

back to where they started. 99% of people, the old self and its weapon will

people, the old self and its weapon will succeed 99% of the time. Now, most

succeed 99% of the time. Now, most people don't even know this is going on.

people don't even know this is going on. They don't understand that the

They don't understand that the resistance, the hardship that they're

resistance, the hardship that they're facing is only coming from the old self.

facing is only coming from the old self. Think about it. Hardship doesn't exist

Think about it. Hardship doesn't exist in objective reality. Objective reality

in objective reality. Objective reality doesn't have emotional states or labels.

doesn't have emotional states or labels. It is what it is. You know, somebody

It is what it is. You know, somebody could view 20 sales call rejections in a

could view 20 sales call rejections in a row as positive because they're getting

row as positive because they're getting feedback. Or someone could view it as

feedback. Or someone could view it as negative. Objective reality is

negative. Objective reality is completely neutral. These things aren't

completely neutral. These things aren't there is no such thing as objective

there is no such thing as objective adversity, hardship, or emotional

adversity, hardship, or emotional resistance. It's the lens in which we

resistance. It's the lens in which we paint reality. This is how the old self

paint reality. This is how the old self keeps us the same. The resistance you're

keeps us the same. The resistance you're facing is coming from that version of

facing is coming from that version of you that is fighting to stay the same.

you that is fighting to stay the same. It's his weapon. Emotional resistance is

It's his weapon. Emotional resistance is dragging you into that old room. That

dragging you into that old room. That room of the old, which means you

room of the old, which means you eventually lose the trial. Now, most

eventually lose the trial. Now, most people who get dragged into the room of

people who get dragged into the room of the old essentially lose the trial

the old essentially lose the trial basically right there in the moment.

basically right there in the moment. They stop taking action and they

They stop taking action and they unconsciously or consciously begin to

unconsciously or consciously begin to self-sabotage and go back on their

self-sabotage and go back on their initial intention.

initial intention. That's the weapon of the old self. Now

That's the weapon of the old self. Now to combat this to win number one

to combat this to win number one understanding is the prerequisite of

understanding is the prerequisite of control. There's this quote from Sunzu.

control. There's this quote from Sunzu. If you know thy if you know the enemy

If you know thy if you know the enemy and you know yourself you need not fear

and you know yourself you need not fear the results of a 100 battles. We know

the results of a 100 battles. We know the weapon that the enemy is now using.

the weapon that the enemy is now using. We understand it intimately. We

We understand it intimately. We understand the context in which it

understand the context in which it occurs and the trial in which we need to

occurs and the trial in which we need to win. And so we can create our own

win. And so we can create our own weapons of influence to bring us into

weapons of influence to bring us into this room and defend against attacks

this room and defend against attacks from this old version of us. This is how

from this old version of us. This is how we achieve change.

we achieve change. And so the first thing is obviously

And so the first thing is obviously understanding understanding omnorphic

understanding understanding omnorphic reality, understanding the cycle of

reality, understanding the cycle of mediocrity, understanding the trial and

mediocrity, understanding the trial and the fracturing of self and the

the fracturing of self and the competition of states and understanding

competition of states and understanding the weapon that the old self uses.

the weapon that the old self uses. reality literacy. This is like learning

reality literacy. This is like learning how to read, knowing what's actually

how to read, knowing what's actually going on. Being able to label, oh,

going on. Being able to label, oh, that's just resistance from my old self.

that's just resistance from my old self. I don't need to be scared of it because

I don't need to be scared of it because I know what it is now. Oh, that's just

I know what it is now. Oh, that's just oh, what I'm reaching here is sort of

oh, what I'm reaching here is sort of the the the the

the the the the identity ceiling. I know I know what's

identity ceiling. I know I know what's going on here and I can match these

going on here and I can match these patterns. It's like learning to read. As

patterns. It's like learning to read. As I said, it's incredibly powerful. So I

I said, it's incredibly powerful. So I didn't I wouldn't even need to go

didn't I wouldn't even need to go through any of these weapons and I could

through any of these weapons and I could stop now and a lot of people would make

stop now and a lot of people would make significant change in their life based

significant change in their life based off this information. But we are not

off this information. But we are not done yet. No, we're going to get into

done yet. No, we're going to get into the weapons of the desired self. And the

the weapons of the desired self. And the reason I say desired self, I should have

reason I say desired self, I should have made this clear is is the self you need

made this clear is is the self you need to become to achieve the goal. The

to become to achieve the goal. The version of you for whom the goal is

version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. And so it's the desired self

inevitable. And so it's the desired self because it's the version of us that

because it's the version of us that represents that desired reality. And so

represents that desired reality. And so we have our own weapons. And by we and

we have our own weapons. And by we and and what I mean is you're representing

and what I mean is you're representing the desired self. This is the version of

the desired self. This is the version of you that you want to win. I would assume

you that you want to win. I would assume I guess we have weapons that we can win

I guess we have weapons that we can win the reality, the trial of reality or

the reality, the trial of reality or identity

identity that we can actually combat the old self

that we can actually combat the old self and

and stand a chance at winning this trial

stand a chance at winning this trial which is winning the trial means

which is winning the trial means achieving your desired reality. That

achieving your desired reality. That means changing everything about your

means changing everything about your life. And so we have two types of

life. And so we have two types of weapons that we can use. Attack,

weapons that we can use. Attack, which is number one, and defense, which

which is number one, and defense, which is number two. So weapons of attack is

is number two. So weapons of attack is anything that actively pulls you into

anything that actively pulls you into the desired room and strengthens the

the desired room and strengthens the desired self's influence over state,

desired self's influence over state, action, and evidence. So attack is

action, and evidence. So attack is bringing us into the desired self room

bringing us into the desired self room and taking action from there. Defense is

and taking action from there. Defense is anything that neutralizes the old self's

anything that neutralizes the old self's interference. So it can't hijack state,

interference. So it can't hijack state, trigger avoidance, or bleed votes back

trigger avoidance, or bleed votes back to the old identity. So defense is like

to the old identity. So defense is like the shield we're going to use against

the shield we're going to use against emotional resistance. Now, it's

emotional resistance. Now, it's important that we don't lose sight of

important that we don't lose sight of what we're actually optimizing for. All

what we're actually optimizing for. All of these W weapons work together to make

of these W weapons work together to make the action more obvious and easy. The

the action more obvious and easy. The weapons of attack are predominantly

weapons of attack are predominantly setting state, but there's also some

setting state, but there's also some other stuff going on here in terms of

other stuff going on here in terms of making action more obvious and easier to

making action more obvious and easier to do

do because obviously state determines the

because obviously state determines the type of action that you take. Weapons of

type of action that you take. Weapons of defense are also making those actions

defense are also making those actions more obvious and easy because we're

more obvious and easy because we're mitigating this the emotional resistance

mitigating this the emotional resistance that keeps the vast majority of the

that keeps the vast majority of the people of people the same. Remember

people of people the same. Remember people don't quit. People aren't in

people don't quit. People aren't in inconsistent when it's going well when

inconsistent when it's going well when they're confident and everything's, you

they're confident and everything's, you know, it's sunny outside. It's when the

know, it's sunny outside. It's when the winter of adversity arrives. And so

winter of adversity arrives. And so having a sufficient shield to defend

having a sufficient shield to defend against the old self and its emotional

against the old self and its emotional resistance and its weapons is also

resistance and its weapons is also required. We cannot have one without the

required. We cannot have one without the other without the other. It doesn't

other without the other. It doesn't matter how good we are at staying in

matter how good we are at staying in that desired self room. The old self has

that desired self room. The old self has the power to just drag us straight out.

the power to just drag us straight out. We cannot essentially determine what

We cannot essentially determine what emotions we feel. We can only determine

emotions we feel. We can only determine the reactions that we have to them. And

the reactions that we have to them. And then we can break break the illusion of

then we can break break the illusion of that emotion and ultimately diminish it

that emotion and ultimately diminish it over time. But ultimately the old self

over time. But ultimately the old self is a part of you and so it will have

is a part of you and so it will have power to just bring up a certain

power to just bring up a certain emotional state. And so it will drag you

emotional state. And so it will drag you out of that room. And if we don't know

out of that room. And if we don't know how to defend against that, we don't

how to defend against that, we don't stand a chance. And so these all work

stand a chance. And so these all work together. There are five weapons. I call

together. There are five weapons. I call them levers of alignment. Five levers of

them levers of alignment. Five levers of alignment because what we're doing here

alignment because what we're doing here is we're aligning beliefs, emotions,

is we're aligning beliefs, emotions, thoughts, and action all together. Four

thoughts, and action all together. Four in one 4D chess and therefore external

in one 4D chess and therefore external reality. You said, you remember the

reality. You said, you remember the doing goal? It's like turning up to a

doing goal? It's like turning up to a gunfight with chopsticks.

gunfight with chopsticks. This is like now turning up to a

This is like now turning up to a gunfight with a tank or a B-52 bomber.

gunfight with a tank or a B-52 bomber. We stand a whole a better chance with

We stand a whole a better chance with these weapons. And so we'll go through

these weapons. And so we'll go through each in a lot of depth and give you the

each in a lot of depth and give you the practicals that you can take away with

practicals that you can take away with and begin to affect change in your

and begin to affect change in your reality.

reality. The first one is inevitability

The first one is inevitability embodiment. I've discussed this a lot in

embodiment. I've discussed this a lot in other videos and it's such an important

other videos and it's such an important practice. Embody the version of you for

practice. Embody the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. Become the

whom the goal is inevitable. Become the version of you for whom the goal is

version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. Those words have been

inevitable. Those words have been selected incredibly careful carefully

selected incredibly careful carefully and I've c crafted them over the last

and I've c crafted them over the last couple years to encapsulate what

couple years to encapsulate what identity is it that actually achieves

identity is it that actually achieves the goal. Well, it's the one for whom

the goal. Well, it's the one for whom the goal is inevitable. Now, a lot of

the goal is inevitable. Now, a lot of people say you've got to assume the

people say you've got to assume the identity that already has the goal.

identity that already has the goal. Assume the feeling. People call this the

Assume the feeling. People call this the law of assumption. I think this is

law of assumption. I think this is flawed in many ways. And and the

flawed in many ways. And and the essentially the practicals that people

essentially the practicals that people give you is you got to assume that you

give you is you got to assume that you already have it. So you got to pretend

already have it. So you got to pretend like you are rich. Fake it till you make

like you are rich. Fake it till you make it. And so a lot of the advice here is

it. And so a lot of the advice here is you've got to I don't know buy expensive

you've got to I don't know buy expensive coffees when you have 100 bucks in your

coffees when you have 100 bucks in your account. give money to the homeless when

account. give money to the homeless when you've got none to give. I get what

you've got none to give. I get what they're getting at, but what you're

they're getting at, but what you're mimicking here is the outcomes, not the

mimicking here is the outcomes, not the actions. You see, the version of you

actions. You see, the version of you that has 20K per month may live an

that has 20K per month may live an extravagant lifestyle, driving

extravagant lifestyle, driving supercars, spending a lot of money,

supercars, spending a lot of money, whatever it may be. But that lifestyle

whatever it may be. But that lifestyle didn't get you to that point in the

didn't get you to that point in the first place. Buying expensive coffees

first place. Buying expensive coffees and being a baller didn't get anyone

and being a baller didn't get anyone rich. That's what they do when they get

rich. That's what they do when they get rich. They're the outcomes.

rich. They're the outcomes. The actions is what gets us there in the

The actions is what gets us there in the first place. The law of assumption

first place. The law of assumption misunderstands this. And so people who

misunderstands this. And so people who just going around pretending like

just going around pretending like they're rich, not taking any action,

they're rich, not taking any action, don't stand a chance. So don't fall into

don't stand a chance. So don't fall into this trap. I don't know who it's from,

this trap. I don't know who it's from, who originated it, but it's is it's bad

who originated it, but it's is it's bad information. We're going to mimic the

information. We're going to mimic the actions, not the outcomes. And the

actions, not the outcomes. And the actions is well, the version of you for

actions is well, the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable is the

whom the goal is inevitable is the version of you right now. It's not a

version of you right now. It's not a version of you in the future that you're

version of you in the future that you're trying to become. It's a version of you

trying to become. It's a version of you that from this very moment, forget about

that from this very moment, forget about what happened in the past. What version

what happened in the past. What version of me right now would it be the for

of me right now would it be the for whatever time frame you want that the

whatever time frame you want that the goal is completely inevitable.

goal is completely inevitable. And so you need to become this version

And so you need to become this version in three

in three different levers.

different levers. First, the thoughts you think, the

First, the thoughts you think, the self-t talk, the narrative you have. You

self-t talk, the narrative you have. You see, humans have this incredible ability

see, humans have this incredible ability to consciously choose what we think.

to consciously choose what we think. start to reinforce all of your positive

start to reinforce all of your positive behavior with positive selft talk that

behavior with positive selft talk that is aligned with the type of person that

is aligned with the type of person that you want to be. Secondly is the emotions

you want to be. Secondly is the emotions that you feel. You need to start feeling

that you feel. You need to start feeling like the version of you for whom the

like the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. Now I get that con

goal is inevitable. Now I get that con trying to consciously conjure up certain

trying to consciously conjure up certain emotions is difficult but it's important

emotions is difficult but it's important to understand emotion does play a

to understand emotion does play a significant role here. And we're going

significant role here. And we're going to use tools such as state activation,

to use tools such as state activation, which is the next one in terms of how we

which is the next one in terms of how we create this emotional state when there

create this emotional state when there just isn't any reason to feel like this.

just isn't any reason to feel like this. Third tool is the action that you take.

Third tool is the action that you take. Now, this is the most important lever

Now, this is the most important lever that we can pull in terms of

that we can pull in terms of inevitability embodiment because action

inevitability embodiment because action is an expression of priorities. That's a

is an expression of priorities. That's a quote from uh Gandhi. Who you you know

quote from uh Gandhi. Who you you know action is a vote for the type of person

action is a vote for the type of person that you want to be. action is an

that you want to be. action is an expression of the type of person that

expression of the type of person that you are. And so what you need to do is

you are. And so what you need to do is essentially align those three together.

essentially align those three together. The thoughts you think, the emotions you

The thoughts you think, the emotions you feel, the actions you take with the goal

feel, the actions you take with the goal that you're trying to achieve. So

that you're trying to achieve. So specifically what is it you want and

specifically what is it you want and then paint out the version of you for

then paint out the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable in those

whom the goal is inevitable in those three levers. And then once you identify

three levers. And then once you identify those, you essentially become it. You

those, you essentially become it. You method act. So at first it will be will

method act. So at first it will be will be unfamiliar. You're trying to become a

be unfamiliar. You're trying to become a person that you're not yet. But

person that you're not yet. But eventually, what you'll notice is that

eventually, what you'll notice is that the self is made up of beliefs. Beliefs

the self is made up of beliefs. Beliefs shift through repetition and emotion, as

shift through repetition and emotion, as we already established. So if we

we already established. So if we continue to take action, under aligned

continue to take action, under aligned emotion, and we continue to repeat this,

emotion, and we continue to repeat this, no matter how familiar it is, the more

no matter how familiar it is, the more you repeat it, the more familiar it will

you repeat it, the more familiar it will become. Eventually, it will become who

become. Eventually, it will become who you are. Because the self, the identity

you are. Because the self, the identity is simply what you're familiar with. And

is simply what you're familiar with. And we can engineer familiarity through

we can engineer familiarity through repetition. And so there's a couple

repetition. And so there's a couple tools that we can use to make this

tools that we can use to make this easier. Number one is identifying input

easier. Number one is identifying input quantity and then executing on that

quantity and then executing on that daily. Because a lot of people get lost

daily. Because a lot of people get lost in terms of what actions they should

in terms of what actions they should actually do. Well, the version of you

actually do. Well, the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable is

for whom the goal is inevitable is spamming the inputs. Now understand a

spamming the inputs. Now understand a business at least at the start is a very

business at least at the start is a very simple system. Input process output.

simple system. Input process output. Output is money in your pocket. Inputs

Output is money in your pocket. Inputs is whatever moves the needle, actually

is whatever moves the needle, actually grows the business. For most businesses,

grows the business. For most businesses, this is going to be something to do with

this is going to be something to do with sales or marketing. And so, establish a

sales or marketing. And so, establish a quantity of sales or marketing that you

quantity of sales or marketing that you have to do. Whether it's 200 cold calls

have to do. Whether it's 200 cold calls a day or a thousand emails or 10 DMs,

a day or a thousand emails or 10 DMs, whatever it is for you, establish a

whatever it is for you, establish a quantity where it'd be unreasonable for

quantity where it'd be unreasonable for you not to achieve your goal. That's a

you not to achieve your goal. That's a line from Horoszi. So, do the quantity

line from Horoszi. So, do the quantity that you're currently doing. Double it,

that you're currently doing. Double it, triple it, whatever is required. So that

triple it, whatever is required. So that if you reverse engineer your goal, which

if you reverse engineer your goal, which you can do this in GPT, it's not

you can do this in GPT, it's not complicated.

complicated. Plug in your metrics, your conversion

Plug in your metrics, your conversion rates, all of that, and reverse engineer

rates, all of that, and reverse engineer how much quantity you would need to do

how much quantity you would need to do for it to be unreasonable that you don't

for it to be unreasonable that you don't achieve the end outcome of your goal.

achieve the end outcome of your goal. And then you just execute on that daily.

And then you just execute on that daily. That becomes your goal. Now you just

That becomes your goal. Now you just execute on the daily inputs. That's all

execute on the daily inputs. That's all you are responsible for. Because if you

you are responsible for. Because if you know that you're doing these inputs, you

know that you're doing these inputs, you are tangibly getting closer to the goal.

are tangibly getting closer to the goal. There is nothing else you can be doing.

There is nothing else you can be doing. You are being the inevitable version of

You are being the inevitable version of yourself. And therefore, you can take

yourself. And therefore, you can take the confidence from that. Action is a

the confidence from that. Action is a leading indicator of confidence,

leading indicator of confidence, clarity, and collapsing doubt. You don't

clarity, and collapsing doubt. You don't feel ready and then act. Action precedes

feel ready and then act. Action precedes it. Action is the leading indicator for

it. Action is the leading indicator for all of these things. And so you want to

all of these things. And so you want to feel like the person person whom the

feel like the person person whom the goal is inevitable, you must become them

goal is inevitable, you must become them in the way you act through your

in the way you act through your routines, through everything, including

routines, through everything, including the daily inputs that you're executing

the daily inputs that you're executing on. That's inevitability embodiment.

on. That's inevitability embodiment. Incredibly powerful. Become the version

Incredibly powerful. Become the version of you for whom the goal is inev

of you for whom the goal is inev inevitable. Not the version who already

inevitable. Not the version who already has it, the version that takes the

has it, the version that takes the action and achieves the goal in the

action and achieves the goal in the desired time frame that you want it. The

desired time frame that you want it. The second is state activation. And this

second is state activation. And this builds directly on inevitability

builds directly on inevitability embodiment because as I said it can be

embodiment because as I said it can be hard to create emotional states,

hard to create emotional states, manufacture them and just say I feel

manufacture them and just say I feel confident when you don't really feel

confident when you don't really feel confident. You're kind of faking it. How

confident. You're kind of faking it. How do we actually create an emotional state

do we actually create an emotional state that is real and is powerful and can

that is real and is powerful and can sort of guide you forward and make this

sort of guide you forward and make this action easier? How do we essentially

action easier? How do we essentially build up that momentum? Well, we can use

build up that momentum? Well, we can use a practice known as state activation

a practice known as state activation where we're using these concepts of

where we're using these concepts of repetition and emotional intensity to

repetition and emotional intensity to shift belief without actually having

shift belief without actually having experience. So, so this is repeated

experience. So, so this is repeated action with emotional weight visualized

action with emotional weight visualized because the mind cannot differentiate

because the mind cannot differentiate the difference between physical

the difference between physical experience in physical reality and

experience in physical reality and psychological experience. But the

psychological experience. But the crucial thing a lot of people miss there

crucial thing a lot of people miss there is this psychological experience has to

is this psychological experience has to be emotionally intense. Otherwise, it's

be emotionally intense. Otherwise, it's completely irrelevant. Emotion is the

completely irrelevant. Emotion is the language of memory. And so I have a

language of memory. And so I have a a protocol, a technique that you could

a protocol, a technique that you could go through. There are loads of different

go through. There are loads of different things that you can do. If you're

things that you can do. If you're visualizing something, you feel it

visualizing something, you feel it emotionally intensely and you can bring

emotionally intensely and you can bring that motion forward. Whatever technique

that motion forward. Whatever technique or whatever you're doing, use it. But

or whatever you're doing, use it. But this is what I really like and this is

this is what I really like and this is what is in line with psychology and and

what is in line with psychology and and and modern science. So the first step is

and modern science. So the first step is we need a some sort of stage of

we need a some sort of stage of induction. We need to lower brain wave

induction. We need to lower brain wave states because when we do that when we

states because when we do that when we get into low alpha theta brain wave

get into low alpha theta brain wave states the brain is more suggestible and

states the brain is more suggestible and plastic. Neuroplastic in terms of it's

plastic. Neuroplastic in terms of it's more susceptible to change. We can do

more susceptible to change. We can do this in two ways. We've got the

this in two ways. We've got the meditative induction and the hypnotic

meditative induction and the hypnotic induction both work. I'll go through

induction both work. I'll go through both. The meditative induction means you

both. The meditative induction means you essentially focus on your breath and you

essentially focus on your breath and you meditate mindfulness meditation until

meditate mindfulness meditation until your whole body feels relaxed. You can

your whole body feels relaxed. You can lie down, you can sit, it doesn't really

lie down, you can sit, it doesn't really matter. You just need your whole body to

matter. You just need your whole body to feel heavy and relaxed. Maybe this takes

feel heavy and relaxed. Maybe this takes 5 minutes, maybe it takes 15. It depends

5 minutes, maybe it takes 15. It depends on the context of the day. If you're

on the context of the day. If you're more stressed, it's going to take longer

more stressed, it's going to take longer to get relaxed. Quieten down the mind,

to get relaxed. Quieten down the mind, declutter your mind, and just focus on

declutter your mind, and just focus on your breath. Once you've got to that

your breath. Once you've got to that state where the body is heavy and you're

state where the body is heavy and you're focused on the breath, you've completed

focused on the breath, you've completed your state of induction. You've lowered

your state of induction. You've lowered your brain wave states successfully so

your brain wave states successfully so that you're ready for the next step.

that you're ready for the next step. That's one way. That's the longer way,

That's one way. That's the longer way, but it's the easier way. The second way

but it's the easier way. The second way is hypnotic induction. And so hypnosis

is hypnotic induction. And so hypnosis is this well, it's it's misunderstood

is this well, it's it's misunderstood firstly because hypnosis isn't just

firstly because hypnosis isn't just something that people use to make people

something that people use to make people dance on stages. It's used clinically.

dance on stages. It's used clinically. Hypnosis is something that can change

Hypnosis is something that can change behavior on a dime. People can do

behavior on a dime. People can do hypnosis sessions and stop smoking, lose

hypnosis sessions and stop smoking, lose weight for insomnia. These are clinical

weight for insomnia. These are clinical uh prescription hypnosis can be. And so

uh prescription hypnosis can be. And so we can use a hypnotic induction which

we can use a hypnotic induction which essentially gets us into a state of deep

essentially gets us into a state of deep relaxation but highly focused. It's

relaxation but highly focused. It's these two together. So you're deeply

these two together. So you're deeply relaxed but highly focused on what

relaxed but highly focused on what you're visualizing on what you're trying

you're visualizing on what you're trying to create. And you can use any sort of

to create. And you can use any sort of basic hypnosis audio or self-recorded

basic hypnosis audio or self-recorded induction to reach the same state. And

induction to reach the same state. And so look online, find examples of

so look online, find examples of hypnosis. Just search up hypnosis track

hypnosis. Just search up hypnosis track on YouTube and you'll find you'll begin

on YouTube and you'll find you'll begin to find patterns in terms of what these

to find patterns in terms of what these induction states look like. They've got

induction states look like. They've got deepeners and fractionation and all

deepeners and fractionation and all these different things, audio cues which

these different things, audio cues which someone's getting you to do. Maybe it's

someone's getting you to do. Maybe it's moving around with the eyes or or

moving around with the eyes or or visualizing a certain thing that's

visualizing a certain thing that's getting you into this deeply relaxed and

getting you into this deeply relaxed and focused state. You can do this with

focused state. You can do this with hypnotic induction as well. And this can

hypnotic induction as well. And this can be as fast as maybe a couple minutes.

be as fast as maybe a couple minutes. And you can create them for yourself as

And you can create them for yourself as well based on what you essentially

well based on what you essentially I guess uh what you're most receptive to

I guess uh what you're most receptive to and what works the best for you. You can

and what works the best for you. You can create for yourself after you

create for yourself after you experiment. So you can use either two of

experiment. So you can use either two of these inductions, meditative or

these inductions, meditative or hypnotic. It doesn't really matter.

hypnotic. It doesn't really matter. Choose whatever works for you best. And

Choose whatever works for you best. And so once we get to a lower brain wave

so once we get to a lower brain wave state with either one of these

state with either one of these inductions, we then do a single scene

inductions, we then do a single scene visualization. You'll notice this is

visualization. You'll notice this is very simple. A lot of people visualize

very simple. A lot of people visualize their goal in loads of detail. They go

their goal in loads of detail. They go in every room of the house they're going

in every room of the house they're going to have and do all of these things. And

to have and do all of these things. And number one, what they're doing is

number one, what they're doing is they're visualizing outcomes. Again,

they're visualizing outcomes. Again, outcomes is what happens when we get

outcomes is what happens when we get there. That's not what got someone rich

there. That's not what got someone rich having a big house. It's the actions.

having a big house. It's the actions. So, we don't focus on outcomes. We focus

So, we don't focus on outcomes. We focus on the actions which get us there. But

on the actions which get us there. But also, this really broad visualization

also, this really broad visualization isn't emotionally intense. It's just a

isn't emotionally intense. It's just a bunch of content. It's just going in and

bunch of content. It's just going in and out. It's just sand going through a sie.

out. It's just sand going through a sie. It's nothing's being caught. Nothing's

It's nothing's being caught. Nothing's being remembered. Nothing's impacting

being remembered. Nothing's impacting belief. And therefore, it's not creating

belief. And therefore, it's not creating lasting change in terms of state and

lasting change in terms of state and belief change, which is ultimately what

belief change, which is ultimately what we're trying to do. And so, we we need

we're trying to do. And so, we we need to manufacture emotional intensity. And

to manufacture emotional intensity. And we do that through a short scene, five

we do that through a short scene, five to 10 seconds max, that represents you

to 10 seconds max, that represents you taking aligned action or being the

taking aligned action or being the person who already believes it's normal.

person who already believes it's normal. Loop that same scene repeatedly over and

Loop that same scene repeatedly over and over again. Don't add complexity. Don't

over again. Don't add complexity. Don't add multiple scenes. Just one scene of

add multiple scenes. Just one scene of you taking the required action that you

you taking the required action that you need to take on that specific day. So we

need to take on that specific day. So we do this in the morning to set state

do this in the morning to set state whether it's making the cold call,

whether it's making the cold call, creating the content, taking the sales

creating the content, taking the sales call, editing the ads, deep work,

call, editing the ads, deep work, whatever it is. Visualize yourself in

whatever it is. Visualize yourself in that scenario, first person, and just

that scenario, first person, and just loop it over and go over again. The more

loop it over and go over again. The more you do it, the more vividly you can

you do it, the more vividly you can imagine things, the more details you can

imagine things, the more details you can bring in, as long as it's the same

bring in, as long as it's the same scene. And as you do it more, you can

scene. And as you do it more, you can begin to feel it more with each

begin to feel it more with each repetition. So that brings us onto the

repetition. So that brings us onto the third step, which is emotional

third step, which is emotional amplification. With each repetition,

amplification. With each repetition, intensify the emotion, conviction,

intensify the emotion, conviction, certainty, calm, authority,

certainty, calm, authority, inevitability. Let the body feel it

inevitability. Let the body feel it through your posture. posture through

through your posture. posture through your breath, facial tension, internal

your breath, facial tension, internal tone of the body. It becomes a whole lot

tone of the body. It becomes a whole lot easier to to build up this emotional

easier to to build up this emotional intensity when you begin to repeat the

intensity when you begin to repeat the scene over and over again. And you

scene over and over again. And you essentially do this until you stop until

essentially do this until you stop until it feels forced until until you feel

it feels forced until until you feel like you're really forcing the scene and

like you're really forcing the scene and you're forcing the emotion. Just stop.

you're forcing the emotion. Just stop. Cut it off. So maybe this is after three

Cut it off. So maybe this is after three repetitions or maybe it's after 100.

repetitions or maybe it's after 100. This protocol doesn't really have a time

This protocol doesn't really have a time limit on it. can be x amount of minutes

limit on it. can be x amount of minutes depending on whatever feels right

depending on whatever feels right depending on how long the induction is

depending on how long the induction is and depending on how long the single

and depending on how long the single scene visualization is. But what we're

scene visualization is. But what we're doing here is we're simulating success

doing here is we're simulating success is the best way of putting it. We are

is the best way of putting it. We are simulating us being the version for whom

simulating us being the version for whom the goal is inevitable. Taking that

the goal is inevitable. Taking that required action and the state that is

required action and the state that is behind it, the confidence, the certainty

behind it, the confidence, the certainty and the inevitability. And so what we do

and the inevitability. And so what we do is we come out of that visualization.

is we come out of that visualization. The mind thinks it's just experienced a

The mind thinks it's just experienced a huge amount of success. Remember, the

huge amount of success. Remember, the mind doesn't know the difference if it's

mind doesn't know the difference if it's emotionally intense. So, one side

emotionally intense. So, one side benefit is this is directly impacting

benefit is this is directly impacting beliefs. This is directly building up

beliefs. This is directly building up empowering beliefs which hold together

empowering beliefs which hold together this desired self. But that's less

this desired self. But that's less important because we cannot just change

important because we cannot just change belief with visualization alone. It

belief with visualization alone. It needs to be supported by action. But

needs to be supported by action. But that's a side benefit. The main benefit

that's a side benefit. The main benefit is we hold this state of being that's

is we hold this state of being that's come out of thin air. We've just

come out of thin air. We've just visualized it in our own mind. We've

visualized it in our own mind. We've created it. But that's the power of this

created it. But that's the power of this level of emotional amplification and

level of emotional amplification and repetition that we can create. And so

repetition that we can create. And so we've created this state of being and we

we've created this state of being and we can hold on to it and allow it to push

can hold on to it and allow it to push us into action for the day. It's almost

us into action for the day. It's almost like, you know, when you get a really

like, you know, when you get a really small snowball and you push it down a

small snowball and you push it down a hill and it can build up and up and up

hill and it can build up and up and up into a massive one. This is just

into a massive one. This is just building up the initial snowball that

building up the initial snowball that gives us the confidence, the certainty

gives us the confidence, the certainty to just take that initial piece of

to just take that initial piece of action. Those actions are then the

action. Those actions are then the leading indicator of more certainty,

leading indicator of more certainty, more confidence, more inevitability that

more confidence, more inevitability that you carry through the entire day. And by

you carry through the entire day. And by the time you get to the end of the day,

the time you get to the end of the day, your snowball is massive. You've taken a

your snowball is massive. You've taken a huge amount of confidence and you're

huge amount of confidence and you're feeling aligned and like the version of

feeling aligned and like the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. But

you for whom the goal is inevitable. But having a protocol that you can go

having a protocol that you can go through before you start work is

through before you start work is incredibly powerful in terms of getting

incredibly powerful in terms of getting that aligned emotional state and action

that aligned emotional state and action together. State activation works in

together. State activation works in conjunction with inevitability

conjunction with inevitability embodiment. You run the protocol and

embodiment. You run the protocol and then you bring forward that inevitable

then you bring forward that inevitable self. The moment you open your eyes,

self. The moment you open your eyes, your eyes, you are the person you just

your eyes, you are the person you just visualized. You carry it forward. It

visualized. You carry it forward. It makes it a whole lot easier to become

makes it a whole lot easier to become this desired self. super powerful when

this desired self. super powerful when they're synergized correctly together.

they're synergized correctly together. This can really allow the action towards

This can really allow the action towards the goal to bridge that gap become super

the goal to bridge that gap become super obvious and super easy when you are

obvious and super easy when you are being the version of you for whom the

being the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. And you're asking

goal is inevitable. And you're asking yourself the questions in terms of what

yourself the questions in terms of what would this person do? The action becomes

would this person do? The action becomes a whole lot more easy because you're

a whole lot more easy because you're aligning identity, thought, emotion, and

aligning identity, thought, emotion, and action all together. Omnorphic alignment

action all together. Omnorphic alignment or omniorphic change.

or omniorphic change. That brings us on to the third weapon of

That brings us on to the third weapon of attack that we can use. And this is

attack that we can use. And this is going down a different route

going down a different route because humans require compelling

because humans require compelling incentives and reasons to take action.

incentives and reasons to take action. We do not take action if there's not a

We do not take action if there's not a reason for said action. So the reason

reason for said action. So the reason we're taking action for a goal is that

we're taking action for a goal is that short-term investment in terms of

short-term investment in terms of hardship for long-term gain. So there is

hardship for long-term gain. So there is a reason, but we're not going to take

a reason, but we're not going to take random action for not any reason. But

random action for not any reason. But the reasons we give ourselves, or at

the reasons we give ourselves, or at least the reasons we think we're acting,

least the reasons we think we're acting, aren't compelling enough for the vast

aren't compelling enough for the vast majority of people. You see, most people

majority of people. You see, most people want more money because of the lifestyle

want more money because of the lifestyle it gives them or the freedom. You know,

it gives them or the freedom. You know, I'll ask someone, why do you want 20K

I'll ask someone, why do you want 20K per month? And they'll be a range of

per month? And they'll be a range of answers. I want to retire my parents. I

want a nice car. I want to travel the world. It's different things for

world. It's different things for different people. It's not all material,

different people. It's not all material, but it's a change in your physical

but it's a change in your physical environment. This is surface level. This

environment. This is surface level. This isn't the true reason why you want

isn't the true reason why you want something. Everybody wants to travel.

something. Everybody wants to travel. Everybody, well, not that example, but

Everybody, well, not that example, but everybody wants to be rich if they had

everybody wants to be rich if they had the option to it. I know some people say

the option to it. I know some people say that, oh, well, I don't care about

that, oh, well, I don't care about wealth, but if you were offered a

wealth, but if you were offered a million dollars, you would take it

million dollars, you would take it because then you could give it to other

because then you could give it to other people if you really didn't want to use

people if you really didn't want to use it, but you can use it to improve your

it, but you can use it to improve your living standards. Everybody wants to

living standards. Everybody wants to live a better life objectively, but most

live a better life objectively, but most do not. It the material motivations

do not. It the material motivations aren't enough.

aren't enough. Everybody has goals and yet most don't

Everybody has goals and yet most don't achieve them. And so it's not the goal

achieve them. And so it's not the goal itself. It's not the ambition which is

itself. It's not the ambition which is separating the winners and the losers

separating the winners and the losers because the reason for acting, the

because the reason for acting, the reason behind accepting short-term

reason behind accepting short-term hardship isn't compelling enough. This

hardship isn't compelling enough. This just wanting a car. I want a McLaren.

just wanting a car. I want a McLaren. Why? like that's not that's not

Why? like that's not that's not compelling enough in terms of

compelling enough in terms of encouraging you to actually go ahead and

encouraging you to actually go ahead and take the action. This is encapsulated

take the action. This is encapsulated perfectly in a quote from nature. He who

perfectly in a quote from nature. He who has a strong enough why can bear almost

has a strong enough why can bear almost anyh how. If you have a strong enough

anyh how. If you have a strong enough why to act, it doesn't matter how much

why to act, it doesn't matter how much emotional resistance the old self throws

emotional resistance the old self throws at you, you will continue to take action

at you, you will continue to take action when your why is strong enough. And so

when your why is strong enough. And so what we're trying to do is essentially

what we're trying to do is essentially take these material desires that you

take these material desires that you want, these physical desires, and find

want, these physical desires, and find the true source. And we do this through

the true source. And we do this through a process known as Socratic reasoning,

a process known as Socratic reasoning, which is very simple. Just asking

which is very simple. Just asking yourself why over and over again until

yourself why over and over again until you find the true source. Now, material

you find the true source. Now, material desires, physical desires have emotional

desires, physical desires have emotional reasons behind them. I don't pick up a

reasons behind them. I don't pick up a glass of water for the sake of the

glass of water for the sake of the water. I do it to quench my thirst and

water. I do it to quench my thirst and how it's going to make me feel. We want

how it's going to make me feel. We want things based on how they make us feel,

things based on how they make us feel, not the objects themselves. The physical

not the objects themselves. The physical orientation of atoms isn't what compels

orientation of atoms isn't what compels us. It's how it's going to make us feel.

us. It's how it's going to make us feel. And so, there's always deeper emotional

And so, there's always deeper emotional reasons behind why we want a certain

reasons behind why we want a certain thing. And so, let's give an example.

thing. And so, let's give an example. Let's say we've got Bob here. And Bob

Let's say we've got Bob here. And Bob wants to make 20K per month. And I ask

wants to make 20K per month. And I ask him why. and he says, "Well, I want to

him why. and he says, "Well, I want to drive a McLaren 675LT

drive a McLaren 675LT around Miami." And then I asked him,

around Miami." And then I asked him, "Why do you want to do that?" And then

"Why do you want to do that?" And then he says, "Well, I want to be respected.

he says, "Well, I want to be respected. I want to be recognized. And I want to

I want to be recognized. And I want to be high status." And I say, "Well, why

be high status." And I say, "Well, why do you want those things?" And maybe he

do you want those things?" And maybe he says, "Well, I didn't get them as a

says, "Well, I didn't get them as a childhood, as a child." And I say,

childhood, as a child." And I say, "Well, why was that?" And then he

"Well, why was that?" And then he answers, "Well, I was, I don't know, I

answers, "Well, I was, I don't know, I was bullied and I was neglected and I

was bullied and I was neglected and I didn't get that." And you know what? It

didn't get that." And you know what? It gets deeper into emotional reasons,

gets deeper into emotional reasons, compelling reasons why you want

compelling reasons why you want something. And ultimately, it's a lot of

something. And ultimately, it's a lot of it's going to be unattractive. It's not

it's going to be unattractive. It's not something you want to look at, which is

something you want to look at, which is why it's deep and why it's unconscious.

why it's deep and why it's unconscious. But you've got to continue to ask

But you've got to continue to ask yourself why to tap into the actual

yourself why to tap into the actual truth, the objective reason why you want

truth, the objective reason why you want it. Because it's very liberating to

it. Because it's very liberating to understand why you want something and

understand why you want something and what you're going to satisfy by getting

what you're going to satisfy by getting it. And so maybe it trauma of certain

it. And so maybe it trauma of certain kind, bullied, neglected, or you fear

kind, bullied, neglected, or you fear mediocrity or being controlled by other

mediocrity or being controlled by other people. This is a big one from people

people. This is a big one from people who want financial independence is

who want financial independence is because they fear controlling or or some

because they fear controlling or or some manipulator or or a boss of some kind.

manipulator or or a boss of some kind. These are the sorts of process that we

These are the sorts of process that we need to go through to understand our

need to go through to understand our fuel. So what you need to do is identify

fuel. So what you need to do is identify sort of the five core things that you

sort of the five core things that you want because it's not the money that you

want because it's not the money that you want. 20k per month, 100k per month, the

want. 20k per month, 100k per month, the money itself is meaningless. It's what

money itself is meaningless. It's what the money affords you. Money as a as a

the money affords you. Money as a as a concept is this is this unit that we can

concept is this is this unit that we can use to exchange value goods and

use to exchange value goods and services. So identify five goods and

services. So identify five goods and services that you want that that your

services that you want that that your lifestyle represents that 100k per

lifestyle represents that 100k per month. What are what's what's behind

month. What are what's what's behind that? What is the qualitative life

that? What is the qualitative life behind it? Represent the five core

behind it? Represent the five core things that is maybe it's a car, a

things that is maybe it's a car, a house, travel, whatever it is.

house, travel, whatever it is. And then for each of those, ask yourself

And then for each of those, ask yourself why over and over again why you want it.

why over and over again why you want it. And you'll come to a couple different

And you'll come to a couple different answers. And they will both be intrinsic

answers. And they will both be intrinsic and exttrinsic. So intrinsic drivers are

and exttrinsic. So intrinsic drivers are ones that are internal and related to

ones that are internal and related to the goal itself. The growth, the

the goal itself. The growth, the mastery, the purpose, and the freedom

mastery, the purpose, and the freedom that you get from it. So, an example of

that you get from it. So, an example of an intrinsic driver could be, well, this

an intrinsic driver could be, well, this goal offers me an opportunity to grow

goal offers me an opportunity to grow who I am, and I know that I'm happiest

who I am, and I know that I'm happiest when I'm growing, and therefore, I want

when I'm growing, and therefore, I want to do hard things and achieve hard

to do hard things and achieve hard things because that just makes me

things because that just makes me happiest. That's probably one for

happiest. That's probably one for myself. That's an intrinsic driver. I

myself. That's an intrinsic driver. I know that my life is best when I'm going

know that my life is best when I'm going after something difficult rather than

after something difficult rather than not doing that. So, that's an intrinsic

not doing that. So, that's an intrinsic driver. It's something that is

driver. It's something that is intrinsic, internal to you. That is a

intrinsic, internal to you. That is a reason that you want to com basically

reason that you want to com basically take action. Now most people stop here.

take action. Now most people stop here. They just say, "Yeah, I want to take

They just say, "Yeah, I want to take action because I want to be, you know, I

action because I want to be, you know, I want to find mastery and I want to be

want to find mastery and I want to be free and I want to have purpose." Fine.

free and I want to have purpose." Fine. But humans evolved as tribes. Our

But humans evolved as tribes. Our survival is based on how other people

survival is based on how other people view us. And it's it's undeniable to say

view us. And it's it's undeniable to say that people care about what other people

that people care about what other people think of them. There's no question about

think of them. There's no question about that, whether you like to admit it to

that, whether you like to admit it to yourself or not. And so exttrinsic

yourself or not. And so exttrinsic drivers are a very important part of

drivers are a very important part of this puzzle.

this puzzle. Exttrinsic drivers are the drivers which

Exttrinsic drivers are the drivers which are outside of yourself and explaining

are outside of yourself and explaining why you want something. So the money,

why you want something. So the money, the status, the recognition, the

the status, the recognition, the material items and how that's going to

material items and how that's going to make you feel based on how other people

make you feel based on how other people are going to perceive you and your place

are going to perceive you and your place in society. Recognition is another one

in society. Recognition is another one as well. And so everybody has exttrinsic

as well. And so everybody has exttrinsic drivers. It's part of our human

drivers. It's part of our human condition, our programming, because

condition, our programming, because we've got to exist in a tribe, a done

we've got to exist in a tribe, a done bar number of 150. We have the higher

bar number of 150. We have the higher status we have, the more likely we

status we have, the more likely we survive and reproduce. So, it's it's

survive and reproduce. So, it's it's part of our evolutionary programming to

part of our evolutionary programming to have exttrinsic drivers. But you'll have

have exttrinsic drivers. But you'll have both. And we want a blend of both as

both. And we want a blend of both as well. It doesn't matter how dark or

well. It doesn't matter how dark or greasy they seem in the daylight.

greasy they seem in the daylight. Whatever's true is true. And we cannot

Whatever's true is true. And we cannot we cannot change that. And so keep

we cannot change that. And so keep Socratic reasoning until you find that

Socratic reasoning until you find that source, that truth. It's hot to the

source, that truth. It's hot to the touch and you know this is why I want

touch and you know this is why I want it. And you know for a fact that when I

it. And you know for a fact that when I get this goal, I will satisfy this why.

get this goal, I will satisfy this why. You you understand your true fuel of why

You you understand your true fuel of why you want something. Tapping into that is

you want something. Tapping into that is potent. Potency drives action. You see,

potent. Potency drives action. You see, you do need to take these drivers and

you do need to take these drivers and rate them from 1 to 10 in terms of

rate them from 1 to 10 in terms of potency, which is very simple. You just

potency, which is very simple. You just ask yourself how willing you are to

ask yourself how willing you are to accept short-term suffering for this

accept short-term suffering for this certain driver, for this certain drive

certain driver, for this certain drive that you are that's unmet at this

that you are that's unmet at this current point. Find five that are the

current point. Find five that are the most potent, the most compelling. Write

most potent, the most compelling. Write them down in bullet points

them down in bullet points um in one sentence or less, really clear

um in one sentence or less, really clear in terms of what this is. And read that

in terms of what this is. And read that every single day before you start work

every single day before you start work and as soon as you end. Remind yourself

and as soon as you end. Remind yourself every single day why you're doing the

every single day why you're doing the action, why you're going through this

action, why you're going through this suffering. Because most people just

suffering. Because most people just disconnect with that goal. Remember

disconnect with that goal. Remember this, the old self comes in and creates

this, the old self comes in and creates this irrational fog and you disconnect

this irrational fog and you disconnect from that initial rational intention.

from that initial rational intention. But if you constantly remind yourself

But if you constantly remind yourself why you're doing this over and over

why you're doing this over and over again, you can bear that how. You can

again, you can bear that how. You can bear that suffering. So we find the

bear that suffering. So we find the truth and then we remind ourselves of it

truth and then we remind ourselves of it over and over again. Often humans need

over and over again. Often humans need to be reminded more than they need to be

to be reminded more than they need to be taught. And so if you can find the

taught. And so if you can find the potent fuel that's enough to drive you

potent fuel that's enough to drive you to bridge that gap from desired reality

to bridge that gap from desired reality to current reality, it makes the actions

to current reality, it makes the actions easier because you know why you're doing

easier because you know why you're doing them. When we give reason behind

them. When we give reason behind behavior, it becomes a whole lot more

behavior, it becomes a whole lot more easy, helping us achieve our goals. And

easy, helping us achieve our goals. And so that's the third weapon of attack.

so that's the third weapon of attack. Again, this is allowing us to get into

Again, this is allowing us to get into the aligned or the desire the aligned

There are three weapons of attack that can bring us into this desired state of

direction, and inevitability. Great. But if we don't know how to defend

But if we don't know how to defend against the old self, the old self will

against the old self, the old self will can still just drag you out of that

can still just drag you out of that desired room into its own room and bring

desired room into its own room and bring you back to where you came from.

you back to where you came from. Self-sabotage. We need shields to defend

Self-sabotage. We need shields to defend ourselves from the influence of that

ourselves from the influence of that weapon of the old self, which is

weapon of the old self, which is emotional resistance. Coming back to the

emotional resistance. Coming back to the trial, because it's this is how it

trial, because it's this is how it works. Doesn't matter how much how good

works. Doesn't matter how much how good we are at feeling the old the new

we are at feeling the old the new version of oursel and and acting in

alignment with it. all of that good stuff. If we cannot defend from the

stuff. If we cannot defend from the emotional resistance and the weapon of

emotional resistance and the weapon of the old self, we don't stand a chance.

the old self, we don't stand a chance. That brings us onto the two weapons of

That brings us onto the two weapons of defense. Two, they work together.

defense. Two, they work together. First one's meta trained meta cognitive

First one's meta trained meta cognitive return. Become the observer and create

return. Become the observer and create separation from thought and emotion. You

separation from thought and emotion. You see, as I said, negative thought uh

see, as I said, negative thought uh emotion and thoughts descend to you like

emotion and thoughts descend to you like fog. They they create a rationality and

fog. They they create a rationality and you get stuck in them. you identify with

you get stuck in them. you identify with them. You see, most people live their

them. You see, most people live their entire lives identified and lost in the

entire lives identified and lost in the midst of thought and emotion. When

midst of thought and emotion. When you're lost in it, you cannot make

you're lost in it, you cannot make deliberate choice. It has encompassed

deliberate choice. It has encompassed you. It's almost ventric triloquized you

you. It's almost ventric triloquized you and it's controlling your behavior.

and it's controlling your behavior. And so what we need to do is separate

And so what we need to do is separate ourselves from that negative emotion,

ourselves from that negative emotion, from that thought to then be able to

from that thought to then be able to create deliberate choice. The way we do

create deliberate choice. The way we do this is through the skill of

this is through the skill of metacognition or trained metacognitive

metacognition or trained metacognitive return where we become the observer of

return where we become the observer of our thoughts and emotions rather than

our thoughts and emotions rather than the one identified with them. What this

the one identified with them. What this means is well what metacognition means

means is well what metacognition means is becoming aware of thinking.

is becoming aware of thinking. Metacognition simply means thinking

Metacognition simply means thinking about thinking. It's this ability to

about thinking. It's this ability to pull back take a step back and become

pull back take a step back and become aware of your thoughts and emotions as

aware of your thoughts and emotions as they are arising. So being in the

they are arising. So being in the present moment as your thoughts and

present moment as your thoughts and emotions are arising as compared to what

emotions are arising as compared to what most people are including yourself as

most people are including yourself as you're watching this video you're

you're watching this video you're getting lost in thought and lost in

getting lost in thought and lost in emotion. You identify with it. We pull

emotion. You identify with it. We pull back and we become the observer. We

back and we become the observer. We watch the thoughts. Senica said

watch the thoughts. Senica said something along the lines of we suffer

something along the lines of we suffer more in imagination than in reality. You

more in imagination than in reality. You see, if we can step out of imagination,

see, if we can step out of imagination, all of the thoughts and emotions and and

all of the thoughts and emotions and and you know, ruminating on the pain of the

you know, ruminating on the pain of the past and worrying about the future,

past and worrying about the future, these are all illusions. They're not

these are all illusions. They're not real. They're just thoughts arising in

real. They're just thoughts arising in the present moment. If we can step back

the present moment. If we can step back and become aware of this process, then

and become aware of this process, then we can begin to control it. Awareness is

we can begin to control it. Awareness is the prerequisite of control. That's

the prerequisite of control. That's probably the 15th time I've said that

probably the 15th time I've said that today, and I will continue to say it

today, and I will continue to say it till my deathbed because it's so

till my deathbed because it's so important. Metacognition is the tool we

important. Metacognition is the tool we can use to become aware of the emotional

can use to become aware of the emotional resistance because the reason it's so

resistance because the reason it's so insidious, the reason it's so powerful

insidious, the reason it's so powerful is because you don't even know that

is because you don't even know that you're under the influence of emotional

you're under the influence of emotional resistance and the weapon of the old

resistance and the weapon of the old self until it's too late. What happens

self until it's too late. What happens is you feel lowle low levels of doubt

is you feel lowle low levels of doubt and anxiety for this specific example.

and anxiety for this specific example. And you don't even notice it. You don't

And you don't even notice it. You don't even consciously recognize it and you

even consciously recognize it and you have doubt and anxious thoughts and and

have doubt and anxious thoughts and and they build up and they interact with

they build up and they interact with each other. The thoughts feel the

each other. The thoughts feel the emotion. The the emotion fields

emotion. The the emotion fields thoughts. And then it gets to a point

thoughts. And then it gets to a point where it gets so intense that you go,

where it gets so intense that you go, "Oh my god, I feel like this. I feel so

"Oh my god, I feel like this. I feel so scared. I feel so anxious. Why is this?"

scared. I feel so anxious. Why is this?" It was always there. You were just never

It was always there. You were just never aware of it. You were lost in thought.

aware of it. You were lost in thought. You are being distracted. A

You are being distracted. A metacognition allows us to notice the

metacognition allows us to notice the moment emotional resistance, adversity,

moment emotional resistance, adversity, or hardship comes. The moment it comes,

or hardship comes. The moment it comes, we can stop it. We can interrupt that

we can stop it. We can interrupt that process. Emotion cannot survive if

process. Emotion cannot survive if thought isn't fueling it anymore. You

thought isn't fueling it anymore. You know, the train won't continue to run if

know, the train won't continue to run if you're not piling coal into the furnace.

you're not piling coal into the furnace. And so, metacognition allows us to

And so, metacognition allows us to interrupt that process and essentially

interrupt that process and essentially interrupt the process of the old

interrupt the process of the old self-resistance building up and

self-resistance building up and beginning to control and engulf our

beginning to control and engulf our behavior. Metacognition is the skill we

behavior. Metacognition is the skill we do this. Now, how do we build up a skill

do this. Now, how do we build up a skill of metacognition? Well, number one,

of metacognition? Well, number one, practice it in your day-to-day. Practice

practice it in your day-to-day. Practice becoming aware of the thoughts that

becoming aware of the thoughts that you're thinking recalling what was I

you're thinking recalling what was I just thinking then what emotions am I

just thinking then what emotions am I feeling asking yourself these questions

feeling asking yourself these questions becoming aware becoming the observer

becoming aware becoming the observer rather than the ident the identifier or

rather than the ident the identifier or the experiencer of said emotion

the experiencer of said emotion but the another way the only well really

but the another way the only well really the only way we can do that as a

the only way we can do that as a supplement but the only way we can do

supplement but the only way we can do this is through mindfulness meditation

this is through mindfulness meditation not necessarily sitting with your

not necessarily sitting with your cross-legged you can lie down you can

cross-legged you can lie down you can sit whatever position you want this is a

sit whatever position you want this is a practice of the mind and so there's a

practice of the mind and so there's a channel called declutter the mind and

channel called declutter the mind and they have a series on mindfulness

they have a series on mindfulness meditations I think starting at 10

meditations I think starting at 10 minutes 20 minutes 15 minutes so start

minutes 20 minutes 15 minutes so start small but daily meditation meditation is

small but daily meditation meditation is this idea of or mindfulness specifically

this idea of or mindfulness specifically is focusing on your breath noticing

is focusing on your breath noticing you've been distracted so being

you've been distracted so being metacognitive aware of that distraction

metacognitive aware of that distraction and bringing yourself back that process

and bringing yourself back that process of bringing yourself back to the present

of bringing yourself back to the present moment and focusing back on the breath

moment and focusing back on the breath is known as metacognitive return.

is known as metacognitive return. Becoming aware of distraction and

Becoming aware of distraction and bringing yourself back. That's the skill

bringing yourself back. That's the skill which we're trying to refine here. Being

which we're trying to refine here. Being aware of the emotional resistance and

aware of the emotional resistance and bringing yourself to the observer

bringing yourself to the observer position, separating from it so that you

position, separating from it so that you can make deliberate choice so that

can make deliberate choice so that you're not lost in that fog of emotion

you're not lost in that fog of emotion which catches so many people out and

which catches so many people out and they begin to take a rational behavior

they begin to take a rational behavior and go back on that initial intention

and go back on that initial intention and fail their goal. They become

and fail their goal. They become inconsistent. We do this through

inconsistent. We do this through mindfulness meditation. Now, you will

mindfulness meditation. Now, you will suck at first. And this is brilliant

suck at first. And this is brilliant because what you'll do is you'll

because what you'll do is you'll meditate for 10 seconds. You'll focus on

meditate for 10 seconds. You'll focus on your breath and then you'll forget that

your breath and then you'll forget that you even started meditating in the first

you even started meditating in the first place. You'll get lost in thought for

place. You'll get lost in thought for like two to five minutes. And then

like two to five minutes. And then you'll go like, "Wait, wasn't I trying

you'll go like, "Wait, wasn't I trying to focus on my breath?" And then you'll

to focus on my breath?" And then you'll get back to the breath and that'll

get back to the breath and that'll happen again. You'll be so bad at

happen again. You'll be so bad at focusing on what's being aware and

focusing on what's being aware and you'll get lost in thoughts and distract

you'll get lost in thoughts and distract you'll get distracted so easily. But the

you'll get distracted so easily. But the more you train that muscle, the better

more you train that muscle, the better you'll get. And well, this is this is

you'll get. And well, this is this is really a muscle in the brain. It's not a

really a muscle in the brain. It's not a muscle, but the certain areas of the

muscle, but the certain areas of the brain change under experienced

brain change under experienced meditators. So there are physical

meditators. So there are physical changes going on here. This is legit

changes going on here. This is legit stuff. And so the more you do it, the

stuff. And so the more you do it, the better you get. And this is something

better you get. And this is something that accumulates with consistency. You

that accumulates with consistency. You can't do this, you know, seven days a

can't do this, you know, seven days a week for one week and then none. You've

week for one week and then none. You've got to do it daily. Pick a time. 10

got to do it daily. Pick a time. 10 minutes I would start off with because

minutes I would start off with because it's tough. It your mind is wanting to

it's tough. It your mind is wanting to do a hundred different things. It will

do a hundred different things. It will feel ridiculous. It will feel like a

feel ridiculous. It will feel like a waste of time. You will try and convince

waste of time. You will try and convince yourself it's a waste of time. But this

yourself it's a waste of time. But this is one of the most powerful things you

is one of the most powerful things you can do. If you are not aware of your

can do. If you are not aware of your thoughts and your emotions, you cannot

thoughts and your emotions, you cannot control them. Control is the prere

control them. Control is the prere understanding or awareness is the

understanding or awareness is the prerequisite of control. If we not if

prerequisite of control. If we not if we're not aware of the negative uh

we're not aware of the negative uh resistance that is overcoming us and

resistance that is overcoming us and controlling our behavior, we cannot

controlling our behavior, we cannot control it. And so metacognition is the

control it. And so metacognition is the shield which is going to stop it.

shield which is going to stop it. Catching it early is the most effective

Catching it early is the most effective strategy we have to mitigate the weapon

strategy we have to mitigate the weapon of the old self and its emotional

of the old self and its emotional resistance. This brings us onto the

resistance. This brings us onto the second

second shield or weapon of defense that we can

shield or weapon of defense that we can use because this ties directly into it.

use because this ties directly into it. This is the disarm protocol.

This is the disarm protocol. This is used to convert avoidance into

This is used to convert avoidance into fuel, irrationality into action. And

fuel, irrationality into action. And it's the process known as uh

it's the process known as uh transmutation. Transmutation or

transmutation. Transmutation or transmuting something was a term used in

transmuting something was a term used in this ancient practice of alchemy.

this ancient practice of alchemy. Turning base metals like copper or lead

Turning base metals like copper or lead into gold. Now transmutation is the

into gold. Now transmutation is the process of actually converting those

process of actually converting those two. Now that isn't actually possible.

two. Now that isn't actually possible. It was I don't know what the hell they

It was I don't know what the hell they were doing, but it it's it's kind of

were doing, but it it's it's kind of like a mythical term.

like a mythical term. So what we want to transmute is the

So what we want to transmute is the avoidance that emotional resistance

avoidance that emotional resistance creates into fuel that continues to take

creates into fuel that continues to take action. So what this looks like is

action. So what this looks like is bringing us out of the old self's room

bringing us out of the old self's room and back into the desired self's room.

and back into the desired self's room. In the old self's room, we are feeling

In the old self's room, we are feeling avoidant. That's the emotional state.

avoidant. That's the emotional state. Bring ourselves back into that desired

Bring ourselves back into that desired self room. We are essentially

self room. We are essentially in a position where action we have a

in a position where action we have a bias towards action. The confidence, the

bias towards action. The confidence, the calm, the certainty, the state that

calm, the certainty, the state that encourages action. Because what you must

encourages action. Because what you must understand is that it is inevitable that

understand is that it is inevitable that the old self will capture your state of

the old self will capture your state of being. It is a part of you. It has a

being. It is a part of you. It has a huge amount of influence, especially at

huge amount of influence, especially at first. And so it will drag you out of

first. And so it will drag you out of your of your of your room no matter how

your of your of your room no matter how metacognitive you are because you are it

metacognitive you are because you are it that it has its own beliefs. It will

that it has its own beliefs. It will eventually drag you out of the desired

eventually drag you out of the desired room, no matter how good your attack is,

room, no matter how good your attack is, no matter how good your metacognition is

no matter how good your metacognition is and into the old room. And so we need to

and into the old room. And so we need to have a protocol

have a protocol to essentially go through a series of

to essentially go through a series of behaviors, a series of steps to go back

behaviors, a series of steps to go back to take ourselves out of that old room

to take ourselves out of that old room and back into the desired room.

and back into the desired room. You see some a psychological term like

You see some a psychological term like confidence can be broken down into a

confidence can be broken down into a series of steps, a series of behaviors.

series of steps, a series of behaviors. Maybe it's a hundred different things.

Maybe it's a hundred different things. It's you

It's you you you don't speak as quickly and you

you you don't speak as quickly and you project your voice better and you use

project your voice better and you use your hands to communicate and you lift

your hands to communicate and you lift your shoulders up. Maybe these are four

your shoulders up. Maybe these are four examples of 100 behaviors that

examples of 100 behaviors that contribute to confidence.

contribute to confidence. Emotional resiliency is the exact same.

Emotional resiliency is the exact same. It is broken down to a bunch of

It is broken down to a bunch of different behaviors. And this disarm

different behaviors. And this disarm protocol synthesizes all of the

protocol synthesizes all of the behaviors that we need to do to become

behaviors that we need to do to become more emotionally resilient. Emotional

more emotionally resilient. Emotional resiliency is allow us allowing us to

resiliency is allow us allowing us to take this emotional resistance and turn

take this emotional resistance and turn it into fuel. And so this is something

it into fuel. And so this is something that you deploy whenever you feel

that you deploy whenever you feel resistance. Now this is different for

resistance. Now this is different for different people as I mentioned. It

different people as I mentioned. It could be apathy. It could be anxiety. It

could be apathy. It could be anxiety. It could be fear. It could be

could be fear. It could be procrastination. It could be laziness.

procrastination. It could be laziness. It could be anger. It could be

It could be anger. It could be hopelessness. It could be sadness. It

hopelessness. It could be sadness. It could be pretty much anything under the

could be pretty much anything under the sun that's stopping you from taking the

sun that's stopping you from taking the action. If I didn't name it, whatever's

action. If I didn't name it, whatever's causing you to avoid the action, this is

causing you to avoid the action, this is where we deploy the disarm protocol.

where we deploy the disarm protocol. And so, it's a this is known as a

requires metacognitive detection. This is why these two work together. If you

is why these two work together. If you don't have metacognition, we cannot

don't have metacognition, we cannot deploy the disarm protocol because we're

deploy the disarm protocol because we're not aware of the emotional resistance.

not aware of the emotional resistance. You cannot control something if you're

You cannot control something if you're not aware of it. Detection. Very simple.

not aware of it. Detection. Very simple. Just name them. Name the emotion that's

Just name them. Name the emotion that's arising. I am feeling fear. I am feeling

arising. I am feeling fear. I am feeling anxiety. I am feeling doubt. I am

anxiety. I am feeling doubt. I am feeling insert emotion. You can say this

feeling insert emotion. You can say this out loud if you want. You can say it in

out loud if you want. You can say it in your head. Just make a clear note that

your head. Just make a clear note that this is what you're going through. This

this is what you're going through. This is you've just established what your me

is you've just established what your me you just become aware of it. This is the

you just become aware of it. This is the expression of this metacognition. That's

expression of this metacognition. That's very simple. Step one and you do this

very simple. Step one and you do this the moment you feel the emotion. You

the moment you feel the emotion. You don't diver. You don't delay. Even if

don't diver. You don't delay. Even if it's very minor, you fe you name it

it's very minor, you fe you name it instantly because it can build up very

instantly because it can build up very quickly and then begin to take over your

quickly and then begin to take over your action. That fog can quickly expand. So

action. That fog can quickly expand. So you got to be careful. I isolation. This

you got to be careful. I isolation. This is step two now. So this is again this

is step two now. So this is again this is practicing meditation.

is practicing meditation. So again, it links, but essentially

So again, it links, but essentially don't try and solve this problem. When

don't try and solve this problem. When you're under the influence of negative

you're under the influence of negative emotion, you are by definition acting

emotion, you are by definition acting irrationally. I say under the influence,

irrationally. I say under the influence, it's kind of like being under the

it's kind of like being under the influence of a drug. It is a drug.

influence of a drug. It is a drug. There's a chemical cocktail going on in

There's a chemical cocktail going on in your body when you feel an emotion like

your body when you feel an emotion like anxiety where you just cannot think

anxiety where you just cannot think rationally. You cannot rely on rational

rationally. You cannot rely on rational thought until the intensity of that

thought until the intensity of that emotion drops. But understand the

emotion drops. But understand the emotion itself is being fueled by

emotion itself is being fueled by thought. And so if we can cut off that

thought. And so if we can cut off that fuel supply of thought by sitting

fuel supply of thought by sitting quietly and just becoming the observer

quietly and just becoming the observer essentially not getting lost in thought

essentially not getting lost in thought and fueling that said emotion. Become

and fueling that said emotion. Become the observer. Cut off the thought and

the observer. Cut off the thought and simply become aware of everything that's

simply become aware of everything that's going on. When you do this, it may take

going on. When you do this, it may take 30 seconds. It may take 30 minutes. that

30 seconds. It may take 30 minutes. that emotional state will drop in intensity

emotional state will drop in intensity because that has nothing to fuel on. You

because that has nothing to fuel on. You cannot be anxious forever when you're

cannot be anxious forever when you're just sitting in darkness or not darkness

just sitting in darkness or not darkness but you're sitting down, you're just

but you're sitting down, you're just focusing on your breath and that's all

focusing on your breath and that's all you're focusing on. It will drop in

you're focusing on. It will drop in intensity. Wait for it to drop intensity

intensity. Wait for it to drop intensity from 80 to 90%. So what we've done here

from 80 to 90%. So what we've done here if this is the old room, this is the

if this is the old room, this is the desired room. We've now brought

desired room. We've now brought ourselves out of the old room through

ourselves out of the old room through this process of isolation and

this process of isolation and neutralization and we're now back in the

neutralization and we're now back in the middle. We're not necessarily in the

middle. We're not necessarily in the desired room yet because

desired room yet because we're neutral. We've just essentially

we're neutral. We've just essentially neutralize this negative emotion which

neutralize this negative emotion which brought us into this desire the old

brought us into this desire the old room. That brings us on to simplify.

room. That brings us on to simplify. Well, what resists persists Carl Yong?

Well, what resists persists Carl Yong? So many people misunderstand this. They

So many people misunderstand this. They try and fight the emotion. and they're

try and fight the emotion. and they're like, "No, I don't feel anxious. I'm

like, "No, I don't feel anxious. I'm going to try and feel confident." And

going to try and feel confident." And they try and paper it over. And this

they try and paper it over. And this isn't how it works. If you resist

isn't how it works. If you resist something, it will persist. You don't

something, it will persist. You don't resist it. You observe it. There's a

resist it. You observe it. There's a slight subtle difference there. Bringing

slight subtle difference there. Bringing us on to the third step. Simplify.

us on to the third step. Simplify. And so now that we can think rationally

And so now that we can think rationally because we've neutralized the I guess

because we've neutralized the I guess the charge of this emotion

the charge of this emotion understand what specifically caused this

understand what specifically caused this emotion and debunk the perceived threat

emotion and debunk the perceived threat or difficulty. You see it's all negative

or difficulty. You see it's all negative emotion relies on some perceived threat

emotion relies on some perceived threat or uncertainty or sense of difficulty.

or uncertainty or sense of difficulty. Do it through the now sick perspective.

Do it through the now sick perspective. Now, sick. Well, we've got this idea of

Now, sick. Well, we've got this idea of the cosmic perspective. This is a whole

the cosmic perspective. This is a whole different thing, but it's zooming out

different thing, but it's zooming out universally and understanding that

universally and understanding that you're kind of irrelevant. This really

you're kind of irrelevant. This really helps for people who struggle with fear

helps for people who struggle with fear and being judged. No one cares about you

and being judged. No one cares about you essentially. Combined with the now. So,

essentially. Combined with the now. So, it's now plus cosmic perspective. Enter

it's now plus cosmic perspective. Enter the present moment. As we discussed

the present moment. As we discussed earlier in eye eye isolation, the

earlier in eye eye isolation, the present moment is very comforting

present moment is very comforting because when you understand that all

because when you understand that all you're responsible for is right now, you

you're responsible for is right now, you can forget about all of the other noise.

can forget about all of the other noise. The past and the future aren't real. All

The past and the future aren't real. All you're responsible for is right now.

you're responsible for is right now. It's infinitely small. You can get

It's infinitely small. You can get comfort from that as well. So, you can

comfort from that as well. So, you can use use these small tools to help debunk

use use these small tools to help debunk the perceived threat. There is no danger

the perceived threat. There is no danger in modern society. You see, fear, these

in modern society. You see, fear, these are all maladaptive emotions that aren't

are all maladaptive emotions that aren't serving us anymore. anxiety

serving us anymore. anxiety they all are wrapped in this meta of

they all are wrapped in this meta of emotion of fear. Fear holds all negative

emotion of fear. Fear holds all negative emotion together. Even anger, sadness,

emotion together. Even anger, sadness, it relies on some sort of uncertainty,

it relies on some sort of uncertainty, some sort of perceived threat that fear

some sort of perceived threat that fear is involved somewhere there. Without

is involved somewhere there. Without fear, no negative emotion exists. But

fear, no negative emotion exists. But the point is fear is a maladaptive

the point is fear is a maladaptive emotion in modern society. There is no

emotion in modern society. There is no physical danger, no risk to your life in

physical danger, no risk to your life in most scenarios, especially when you're

most scenarios, especially when you're building an online business or or trying

building an online business or or trying to make money. typically.

to make money. typically. Um, and so there is this this fear is an

Um, and so there is this this fear is an illusion. It's not real. And so you've

illusion. It's not real. And so you've got to debunk that illusion

got to debunk that illusion intellectually. You've got to simplify

intellectually. You've got to simplify and understand, yeah, there's not much

and understand, yeah, there's not much to be scared of about this cold call or

to be scared of about this cold call or this sales call or running these ads or

this sales call or running these ads or creating the content. There is no danger

creating the content. There is no danger to my life. I will be fine. I will be

to my life. I will be fine. I will be okay no matter what. That's kind of the

okay no matter what. That's kind of the process that you're going through. This

process that you're going through. This can be very quick. 5 10 seconds in your

can be very quick. 5 10 seconds in your mind. Boom. I understand it now. brings

mind. Boom. I understand it now. brings you on to number four,

you on to number four, a alignment. And so this is about now

a alignment. And so this is about now bringing ourselves from neutral, which

bringing ourselves from neutral, which is where we're at now, back into that

is where we're at now, back into that desired state. And so it's like a mini

desired state. And so it's like a mini state activation. Two tools you can use

state activation. Two tools you can use for this

for this short internal affirmation for me. I

short internal affirmation for me. I just say in my mind, aligned.

just say in my mind, aligned. It's just a mental key aligned. Because

It's just a mental key aligned. Because what I do is whenever I do something

what I do is whenever I do something successful in the day, I I complete a

successful in the day, I I complete a task after I after I do it, I just say

task after I after I do it, I just say it aligned in my mind and I've sort of

it aligned in my mind and I've sort of pavlon uh trained that response, that

pavlon uh trained that response, that condition of success with that word. So

condition of success with that word. So whenever I say that word, it slightly

whenever I say that word, it slightly shifts my state into something that's

shifts my state into something that's more conducive to action, let's say. So

more conducive to action, let's say. So you could go down that route. The second

you could go down that route. The second route which you can also do and this is

route which you can also do and this is important is to feel genuine gratitude

important is to feel genuine gratitude for this resistance. Why would I feel

for this resistance. Why would I feel gratitude for something that sucks? The

gratitude for something that sucks? The reason is is because this is an

reason is is because this is an opportunity to break the illusion of

opportunity to break the illusion of fear and resistance. Build the muscles

fear and resistance. Build the muscles of courage and discipline respectively.

of courage and discipline respectively. So you've got that well that's actually

So you've got that well that's actually a side point. You get to build up the

a side point. You get to build up the bustle of courage acting despite

bustle of courage acting despite negative adversity and discipline as

negative adversity and discipline as well. But the more you face the old

well. But the more you face the old self's weapon, ne negative emotional

self's weapon, ne negative emotional resistance, whatever flavor it is for

resistance, whatever flavor it is for you, the more you face it and take

you, the more you face it and take action through it, the more you begin to

action through it, the more you begin to dissolve the illusion. And so which with

dissolve the illusion. And so which with each step of action, the intensity of

each step of action, the intensity of the emotion will drop because the

the emotion will drop because the emotion relies on some sort of belief.

emotion relies on some sort of belief. But if you take action through that

But if you take action through that emotion, you are providing contradictory

emotion, you are providing contradictory evidence to that belief. And so the I

evidence to that belief. And so the I guess the potency of that belief will

guess the potency of that belief will drop. the emotional intensity will drop.

drop. the emotional intensity will drop. The more that you take action through

The more that you take action through it, the more you break that illusion

it, the more you break that illusion that it's held behind, the less intense

that it's held behind, the less intense it will be. And so you be grateful

it will be. And so you be grateful because this is an opportunity for you

because this is an opportunity for you to break down the weapon of the old

to break down the weapon of the old self. Break down the limiting beliefs

self. Break down the limiting beliefs which hold the old self together.

which hold the old self together. That is ultimately what is keeping you

That is ultimately what is keeping you the same. And so it's so powerful to be

the same. And so it's so powerful to be able to be given an opportunity. Why

able to be given an opportunity. Why would you not feel grateful for an

would you not feel grateful for an opportunity to fundamentally change your

opportunity to fundamentally change your identity, shift your identity, break

identity, shift your identity, break down those limiting beliefs, and build

down those limiting beliefs, and build up those empowering beliefs? This

up those empowering beliefs? This episode of emotional resistance and

episode of emotional resistance and adversity is providing us with the

adversity is providing us with the opportunity to do that. And so flipping

opportunity to do that. And so flipping on its flipping it on its head and

on its flipping it on its head and feeling grateful for it, feeling an

feeling grateful for it, feeling an immense amount of gratitude rather than

immense amount of gratitude rather than negativity or or victimization of some

negativity or or victimization of some kind is incredibly powerful and gets you

kind is incredibly powerful and gets you back into that desired room, that room

back into that desired room, that room of confidence, calm,

of confidence, calm, certainty, and and uh inevitability when

certainty, and and uh inevitability when you feel that gratitude. Gratitude is a

you feel that gratitude. Gratitude is a very powerful emotion that you can bring

very powerful emotion that you can bring back into that desired room. So we've

back into that desired room. So we've gone from now if we follow from one to

gone from now if we follow from one to four we've gone from in the midst of the

four we've gone from in the midst of the des the old room that kind of looks like

des the old room that kind of looks like a D so that's confusing the old room and

a D so that's confusing the old room and its state the doubt whatever the

its state the doubt whatever the resistance is we've brought ourselves

resistance is we've brought ourselves into neutral and now we've brought

into neutral and now we've brought ourselves back into the desired room now

ourselves back into the desired room now nothing changes if nothing changes and

nothing changes if nothing changes and so the fifth step was always going to be

so the fifth step was always going to be take action respond beline straight to

take action respond beline straight to whatever caused this emotion the task

whatever caused this emotion the task which triggered this emotional response.

which triggered this emotional response. You must do it and you must do it now.

You must do it and you must do it now. It doesn't matter at what quality. It

It doesn't matter at what quality. It doesn't matter if it's bad, good, who

doesn't matter if it's bad, good, who cares. You just do it and you get it

cares. You just do it and you get it under your belt. You take that action.

under your belt. You take that action. You produce that evidence. You shift the

You produce that evidence. You shift the belief. Super simple.

belief. Super simple. Finally, we memorize because of course

Finally, we memorize because of course we want to remind ourselves of this

we want to remind ourselves of this action. You see, I almost feel like each

action. You see, I almost feel like each action that you do has an amount of it's

action that you do has an amount of it's like a fruit that you can have and you

like a fruit that you can have and you can squeeze that fruit for juice that

can squeeze that fruit for juice that allows us to shift belief. Now, we can

allows us to shift belief. Now, we can squeeze the the fruit more and produce

squeeze the the fruit more and produce more juice if we remind ourselves of

more juice if we remind ourselves of what we did if we actually memorize it.

what we did if we actually memorize it. And so what I have is some sort of

And so what I have is some sort of tracker or journal that I just write

tracker or journal that I just write down the time that I felt the certain

down the time that I felt the certain emotional resistance, what it was, and

emotional resistance, what it was, and then I'll reflect on that journal. So

then I'll reflect on that journal. So I'll write down in the journal the

I'll write down in the journal the moment it arises. Typically around

moment it arises. Typically around detection, I'll write it down in the

detection, I'll write it down in the journal at the same time. It's on my

journal at the same time. It's on my phone, so I guess I'm typing it in, not

phone, so I guess I'm typing it in, not writing, but you get the point.

writing, but you get the point. You write it down and then every evening

You write it down and then every evening I do a PM voice journal where I just

I do a PM voice journal where I just speak in my voice memos about what

speak in my voice memos about what happened in the day, what went well,

happened in the day, what went well, what could go better, reflecting,

what could go better, reflecting, journaling, right? But during that

journaling, right? But during that journal, I'll check my disarm tracker,

journal, I'll check my disarm tracker, see if I had any instances of emotional

see if I had any instances of emotional resistance. And then what I'll do is

resistance. And then what I'll do is I'll just run through the event. Was it

I'll just run through the event. Was it that bad? Was it really that big of a

that bad? Was it really that big of a deal? Was that emotion true? Did that

deal? Was that emotion true? Did that emotion serve me? these sorts of

emotion serve me? these sorts of questions which allow you to just pull

questions which allow you to just pull the threads and and and reflect on it

the threads and and and reflect on it further, begin to shift that belief

further, begin to shift that belief further, begin begin to dissolve the

further, begin begin to dissolve the illusion that the old self's weapon has

illusion that the old self's weapon has over your behavior.

over your behavior. And so this disarm protocol works in

And so this disarm protocol works in conjunction with metacognition because

conjunction with metacognition because if you are not aware of your thoughts

if you are not aware of your thoughts and emotions, you cannot control them.

and emotions, you cannot control them. But this is the series of behaviors that

But this is the series of behaviors that we go through to embody emotional

we go through to embody emotional resiliency. This is everything you need

resiliency. This is everything you need and nothing you don't. Now, at first,

and nothing you don't. Now, at first, this is something you're going to need

this is something you're going to need to constantly remind yourself of.

to constantly remind yourself of. Perhaps print it out, perhaps have it

Perhaps print it out, perhaps have it bookmark on your computer, like a a

bookmark on your computer, like a a protocol, an SOP, which you can go

protocol, an SOP, which you can go through when you feel immense amounts of

through when you feel immense amounts of emotional resistance. But eventually, it

emotional resistance. But eventually, it becomes automatic. This is something

becomes automatic. This is something that I just go through in my mind in

that I just go through in my mind in about 30 seconds depending on the

about 30 seconds depending on the isolation part can take longer but

isolation part can take longer but everything else is super quick. It may

everything else is super quick. It may seem like a super long and uh exhaustive

seem like a super long and uh exhaustive process but you have to think about it

process but you have to think about it like this. If we bring bring it all the

like this. If we bring bring it all the way back all the way back up to the top.

way back all the way back up to the top. We built this on first principles first

We built this on first principles first components

components consistent sequence of actions toward a

consistent sequence of actions toward a defined target. Consistency is what

defined target. Consistency is what we're optimizing for here. And so

we're optimizing for here. And so someone who is consistent, let's say on

someone who is consistent, let's say on an extreme end, you spend eight hours a

an extreme end, you spend eight hours a day working, but four hours of those

day working, but four hours of those days you are spent in the disarm

days you are spent in the disarm protocol trying to mitigate and and

protocol trying to mitigate and and fight negative emotion, but you are

fight negative emotion, but you are being consistent as a result. You are

being consistent as a result. You are not letting that negative emotion

not letting that negative emotion influence you and and make you

influence you and and make you inconsistent. And so you are working

inconsistent. And so you are working seven days a week for 4 hours a day.

seven days a week for 4 hours a day. This person is inconsistent but perhaps

This person is inconsistent but perhaps not productive or intense. But then we

not productive or intense. But then we have another individual who's optimizing

have another individual who's optimizing for intensity. Thinks the disarm thing

for intensity. Thinks the disarm thing is a whole it's a it's a waste of time.

is a whole it's a it's a waste of time. Not not worth it. And so they're

Not not worth it. And so they're maximizing intensity. They're working 10

maximizing intensity. They're working 10 hours a day for weeks on end. But after

hours a day for weeks on end. But after week four, they reach that point of self

week four, they reach that point of self interference and they begin to

interference and they begin to self-sabotage. They begin to slow down.

self-sabotage. They begin to slow down. And it's the tortoise and the hair. The

And it's the tortoise and the hair. The tortoise wins in this case because if

tortoise wins in this case because if you're doing less action but

you're doing less action but consistently in the long run you will

consistently in the long run you will win. And so whatever's optimizing for

win. And so whatever's optimizing for consistency is better. A lot of people

consistency is better. A lot of people try to focus on intensity and that's a

try to focus on intensity and that's a mistake. And so disarm and running that

mistake. And so disarm and running that protocol is worth it every single time

protocol is worth it every single time because if negative resistance back to

because if negative resistance back to this this self- interference cycle if

this this self- interference cycle if that brings you back to the current

that brings you back to the current reality you failed. you've done. You're

reality you failed. you've done. You're like, you've just quit.

like, you've just quit. The danger that emotional resistance

The danger that emotional resistance faces can can face us and and can

faces can can face us and and can present us.

present us. If we go back, it's a big document.

If we go back, it's a big document. We've covered a lot and we're nearly at

We've covered a lot and we're nearly at the end now. Um, if we go back I don't

the end now. Um, if we go back I don't know what I'm looking for. If we go back

know what I'm looking for. If we go back to the trial, that's it.

to the trial, that's it. Christ. If we go back to the trial, the

Christ. If we go back to the trial, the power that negative emotional resistance

power that negative emotional resistance has over you and how quickly you can

has over you and how quickly you can lose the trial. Just understanding how

lose the trial. Just understanding how fast your dreams can just vanish when

fast your dreams can just vanish when you get stuck under this fog that this

you get stuck under this fog that this old self can create. Understanding the

old self can create. Understanding the risk that negative emotional resistance

risk that negative emotional resistance presents you and essentially it being a

presents you and essentially it being a weapon of the old self. Never treat it

weapon of the old self. Never treat it lightly. Never treat it with

lightly. Never treat it with complacency. Always treat it with susp

complacency. Always treat it with susp suspicion. And you've got to extinguish

suspicion. And you've got to extinguish that negative emotional fire with a

that negative emotional fire with a blanket, a wet blanket of emotional

blanket, a wet blanket of emotional resiliency, which is a psychological

resiliency, which is a psychological term that can be synthesized down into a

term that can be synthesized down into a series of behaviors found in the disarm

series of behaviors found in the disarm protocol. Everything you need, nothing

protocol. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

you don't. And so we now have five levers of

And so we now have five levers of alignment. Two weapons of defense that

alignment. Two weapons of defense that allow us to defend against the

allow us to defend against the resistance that the old self is creating

resistance that the old self is creating and trying to keep itself the same. And

and trying to keep itself the same. And also three weapons of attack that we can

also three weapons of attack that we can use to hold this state and therefore

use to hold this state and therefore take conducive action and achieve

take conducive action and achieve results. Again, we are all doing this

results. Again, we are all doing this optimizing from first principles that

optimizing from first principles that consistent sequence of actions. These

consistent sequence of actions. These tools make the action more obvious and

tools make the action more obvious and easier. Everything else is irrelevant.

easier. Everything else is irrelevant. It starts and ends with action, but

It starts and ends with action, but action of course doesn't happen in

action of course doesn't happen in isolation. We need we understand this

isolation. We need we understand this from omnorphic reality. All of these

from omnorphic reality. All of these topics build on top of each other. Now,

topics build on top of each other. Now, if you're still with me, by the end of

if you're still with me, by the end of this very long but incredibly dense

this very long but incredibly dense lesson, I look at my retention

lesson, I look at my retention statistics. It's not a high percentage

statistics. It's not a high percentage that reached the very end here. And I

that reached the very end here. And I just want to thank you. And you need to

just want to thank you. And you need to thank yourself because you have just

thank yourself because you have just given your future self one of the

given your future self one of the biggest competitive advantages you could

biggest competitive advantages you could even fathom. You can't even fathom how

even fathom. You can't even fathom how powerful this is going to be yet. Of

powerful this is going to be yet. Of course, you need to put it into

course, you need to put it into practice. This is potentially worth

practice. This is potentially worth re-watching a couple times because

re-watching a couple times because there's a lot going on here. I've

there's a lot going on here. I've mentioned a lot. I've covered a lot. And

mentioned a lot. I've covered a lot. And of course, repetition is going to

of course, repetition is going to solidify what I'm saying into memory and

solidify what I'm saying into memory and something that you embody because it's

something that you embody because it's all well and good having a theoretical

all well and good having a theoretical philosophy and going, "Ah, well, that

philosophy and going, "Ah, well, that makes sense." It's another thing

makes sense." It's another thing actually embodying it in your behaviors,

actually embodying it in your behaviors, in your actions.

in your actions. But you have a huge competitive

But you have a huge competitive advantage in terms of understanding the

advantage in terms of understanding the rules of reality, how to leverage them,

rules of reality, how to leverage them, and how to ultimately win the game of

and how to ultimately win the game of reality, which as it stands is the game

reality, which as it stands is the game is the same game that dictates the game

is the same game that dictates the game of getting rich. You control your

of getting rich. You control your reality, you can get rich. And that's

reality, you can get rich. And that's why they're one of the same. I said at

why they're one of the same. I said at the very start, if you can master your

the very start, if you can master your mind, you can get rich. They're

mind, you can get rich. They're inextricably linked and that's what

inextricably linked and that's what we're discussing here. This video is

we're discussing here. This video is going to come out on December the 26th,

going to come out on December the 26th, day after Christmas. So, this is my gift

day after Christmas. So, this is my gift to you. Thank you for watching and
