Insights into the Soul

Take advantage of peoples thoughts, assumptions and beliefs. Mindware. Practicing lies and schemes. Mental aikido, mental jujitsu, labyrinth pic.
People have preconceived notions. People will behave and respond fairly predictably, if you know them well. People will act according to what they truly believe. People are influenced by their feelings and impulses.
If you really know what someone wants, and they believe you can help get them that, that is one factor in using power psychology.
Personality and beliefs create behavior.
You only give some other person or organization psychological power when you buy into their propaganda or the general "accepted" view of events, rules, procedures. Police, banking institutions, societies, manipulators abound and you can cower at their power or you can direct your own reality and views, if you do not wish to share theirs.
Saying something twice in a slightly different and more impactful way. This enhances the strength of the effect on listeners. Say a thing or observation or judgement, and then repeat it.
Everyone lives in the same universe, essentially, though there is great variation, all within the context of their culture or society, and common experience, technology and rituals.
Explore the minds of others. Their thoughts, their feelings. People are fascinating. Engage with them. Build experience into the human condition. Interact with your fellow humans. Have fun. The joys. The drama. The intrigue. The sensations. The journey and experiences.
Observe people. They have different ways of speaking, different body movements, voice cadences, thoughts, feelings. Make extrapolations from their details of dress, clothes, behaviors, what they say.
Be aware generally. Be aware of peoples' feelings, attitudes, notions, reactions. Mentally aware.
The civilization exists in the mind, perhaps moreso than any physical representation of it, buildings and land are created and produced by the mind.
Mind Gaming skill
Rules and laws for society, for organizations, for behavior.
Struggles and life challenges can make you stronger.
Psychological insight.
The world to a person often reflects that person's internal views, outlook, and values. This has a tendency to skew the observations of others' behavior and actions towards a biased slant, sometimes inaccurate.
One way to understand people is through their culture. People can belong or maintain many cultures, for example Jewish-American lesbian. Also their mind frames, such as racist, or liberal or scientific, or animal loving, or American.
We all perceive the world through our senses and produce a version of the world outside in our minds. Prediction is a skill, of events or of people's behavior, this is the benefit of insight.
Struggles and hardships in life give you something.
Behaviorally correct.
Study and observe people. What do they think and feel? How do they spend their day?
Life is like an infinite series of self-corrections, developing habits, learning and doing things toward perfection from washing dishes to negotiating with people to maintaining money.
In order to truly live, you must be willing to risk your life, and if necessary, die for your life.
Each life has a story.
Listen ultimately, to yourself. Do not heed others.
Get adept at the system. Be skilled at using the rules to your advantage and benefit. Know people, the human mind, the desires, the personalities. This way you can maneuver yourself to wherever you want to go, knowing the hearts of people, and understanding the way things operate, you can achieve. Build experience continually in these areas.
Even though you focus on money, it is not really about that. If that were so, you would sell drugs, sell yourself to wealthy homosexuals, etc. It is about your conduct and your actions. It is about the experience, the journey of life itself.

Religion and Philosophy


What to discuss here Sikhs. Discipline, willpower, perseverance triumvirate god. DPW. Worship of concepts and ideas, hammer, anvil, and  . Rituals and rites involving discipline, etc. Thrice daily practices of willpower, etc. A true religion is one which does not contain verifiably or observably false precepts and tenets, and is not based on falsehoods that are promulgated to be true. Tales and fables that are created for the religion are specifically not taken to be factually literal, but rather to exemplify the precepts of that religion in a elegant or powerful way in a story form. There are no fundamental falsehoods in a true religion. How to create a god.
The market as a god. Symbolized by a miniature agora.
What shall I call my type of religion? That of worshipping ideas and concepts, and practicing tenets based from them
The worship of concepts and ideas. There are an infinite number of gods, because there are an infinite number of ideas.
In the name of Reason.
Take the pros of being atheist and religious, and eliminate the cons of each.
Aldous Huxley  "And this revival of religion will at the same time be a revolution. From being an activity mainly concerned with symbols, religion will be transformed into an activity concerned mainly with experience and intuition-an everyday mysticism underlying and giving significance to everyday rationality, everyday tasks and duties, everyday human relationships." (he was talking about how newly designed drugs will make people go on trips and become religious or spiritual)
Religion should be of at least some practical value. It should direct actions and behavior in useful ways.
Being virtuous is a consistent system. One virtue for example should not nullify another, though there may be some uncertainties and a kind of push and pull between being honest for example and being careful or protective of something.
Many moral ideas have a practical, personal benefit aspect to them as well.
Have you seen the light? The light of Reason and the Scientific Way. Also, the truth about yourself and the path to betterment.
Astrolabe as a symbolic representation of Scientific Method and therefore an object of worship, among others.
"Knowledge is freedom". "May the power of Reason guide you". Perhaps say a grace or chant except it is before you engage studying rather than meal time.
Pyramid of Self Actuated Development.
Fulfilling your natural duties and acting upon your responsibilities, to your fellow man, to society, as a cop, as a parent, as a citizen of a country.
You may be required to wear a watch. Or eat a type of diet. Etc.
How do you define morality?
Developing oneself through religion. Buddhist enlightenment, Puritan frugality.
Which is more important, your temporary life, or realizing your dreams? Your life, or success, freedom, and victory?
Combining all the cultures' gods. Gathering them together.
The religion needs to work. It needs to sustain itself with worshippers. It needs to be able to last.
Religion which provides one a competitive edge.
Worship of gravity, time, money, masturbation, socialism, a civilization.
Really worshipping the Universe and Nature, and the specific gods are aspects of this. It is something like Hinduism, except scientific as well.
Define ideas and terms more precisely and with as much exactness, this enhances clarity of what one is speaking of. Language should generally be precise and well defined, with a large vocabulary and logical structure. Is creative structure better though?
Religion...steroids for the soul. The power of belief is a fascinating thing. It can be used for self-betterment. It can empower you.
You have a duty to make your day full and interesting. What did I do today? What did I learn? Accomplish things every day. Absorb life experiences and sensations like a hungry beast.  Seek novel experiences. Revel in the memories you are creating. Eat life up.
If math be for us, who be against us? Math is on our side.
Worshipping a meaning of existence, a path of life philosophy.
Worship of skills, of science.
Religion of survival.
The busy bee.
My purpose is something like, train my mind and my body to the height of perfection that i can, to go on adventures and explore the great big world around, to attain wealth and power, and to enter beautiful women.
God of memory, god of ice skating, the spiritual side of it all.
The cheetah. The turtle.
Founding the modern religion movement, living without money movement.
Worship of the road.

Mastermind a Plan II


What is your program? The specifics and details? Issues and concerns? Your general approach? Back-up if it fails? Goals? Possibilities? Future prognostications and calculations? Take it all into account.
Striving. Never yielding. Self-application and intelligent direction towards success. In life, you must put forth your best. Try to do perfect, but at the least do well. The further one is from doing perfect, the greater the likelihood of failure. Be indefatigable. Get things done every day. Chances are favorable if you are consistent and persistent. You must keep at it, be doggedly persistent on the accomplishment of your goals and objectives, time, effort, and attempts must be continuous and unyielding.
It's about creating order in the universe, your order. Your will, your energy, your work and alot of it, must be employed everyday in establishing the creation of your order and desired ends. Produce work, which creates order, and maintain that order. Produce your environment as much as you can.
You must realize that there are no limits except that which you impose upon yourself. Telling yourself that you can only exercise for 2 hours a day or you can only function if you have at least X hours of sleep are fallacies (however it is necessary to get good sleep in the long run and also one shouldn't run on an injured leg).
Seek to understand the world, bit by bit experience and learn each day.
When working, you should do a good job, and also make it look like a good job for anyone watching.
Organize yourself to be most effective in getting it all done, and making progress, day and night.
What are your priorities for the day? Organize your schedule. Job related, tasks, training, etc. Work it out.
Make good progress with your metiston training, exercise, skill practice, and intellect expansion.
The struggle, then the triumph.
Work out everyday? Know your body, be careful.
Get to the top by any and all  means..
Solutionism-find the solution look for them and get good at coming up with them.
Planning is about having a goal, and how to achieve it. You may come up with general approaches, which is fine, though think through the details. You go from general to specific. You place priorities.
You carry out the program, and observe and learn and build experience.
Often planning will amount to a general approach, rather than a very specific detailed plan, because of the complexity of circumstances and all of the changing and shifting variables. You do not need an exact plan (though precision and thoroughness is preferable, it may be necessary often times to adjust and one cannot rely on all factors to remain constant). A sound, general approach can suffice.
Seize the day, every day.
Be careful, but when in doubt, go for it.
You either go ahead and achieve it or you don't, you have to be serious about doing it and actually go about doing it, because if you are not then it doesn't get done.
Nothing can stop me.
It is not necessary to know the exact pathway, but one must be clear about the general direction at least that they take in order to accomplish their goal or grand vision.
My plan of studies. Planning in all major aspects, back-ups.
Train my mental, physical strength, agility.
Ranking your work level, ranking your performance, getting better over time is a must.
You must direct yourself, with resoluteness to getting it all done and on time. Make continual progress. That is key. Start small, and build up to great heights step by step.
You must direct and focus your mind, your emotion, your will, your desire, your intent on that which you intend to do and accomplish. Failure is not a possible choice. Focus. Focus your thoughts and your actions and your time. You must direct yourself wholly and without reservation.
Create a masterpiece of your life, says Evan Tanner. You are the artist.
Goals: Have my own house. Have more skills.
Many possibilities, how to best make the best plan.
Take it to the limit. Aggression competitively.
What can I do to advance my position? How else can I better my position? Look for opportunities and resources, do research. Cheapest way to live, earn money, what prospects are out there for me?
It is important to keep in mind, that the results of your analyzing is to produce actual products and results, not to analyze matters simply for the sake of doing so. You must act, as well as think, not just think and think without actions.
Plan ahead and strategize. Study, work hard. Be aggressive yet also careful.
Be resourceful, be tough, be clever. Have faith in yourself, your abilities, and your mission. You are going to struggle for the rewards, do so with eagerness.
Strategize at work, industrialize at home.
Your program, improve it where you can continually. A good program is effective, efficient and elegant.
Follow through with whatever you do, see it until its completion.
Be prompt in whatever you do.
look to hit 2 birds with 1 stone where you can.
Track your progress.
Maximize your quantum reality. Imagine all the scenarios, and work for the best to be realized.
If you don't do it now, when are you going to do it? Don't delay unless there is a solid strategic/tactical reason to.
Become the strongest and the best you can be, no messing around. Just train, plan, work and study.
I have clear direction, which is good. But what I lack is a fully worked out grand plan in detail.
Where does power come from? How to take over things, such as in organizations or groups.
When planning work from consistencies, and seek out probable certainties and base planning on those.
A good, effective, time efficient training program. All-around.
Act the best strategy you know, no matter what your emotional state is. Do not vere off course.
Possibility sphere, outline of your general schedule.
Sleep well, function well, but learn to do well and perform normal with light sleep over some time.
Daily actions, or 5/wk, 4/wk. Be consistent.
Get serious about it, put focus on it.
systematic approach to training, based on efficiency, progress, consistency
Work from what you know. Make your best guess and continue on.
I am on a quest to know everything...
Develop CAPA standards
Detailed imagination is good for planning.
Developing the capacity to be dangerous.
In order to succeed you must be dedicated to it. Success is preceded by dedication.
You must ask yourself what is true victory?
Define success, what are my exact goals?
There is a solution, an answer to everything. Use your experience, your knowledge, your reasoning, calculation, imagination, and will.

Conceptions for a New Order II


I dream of a new world order. Governed by men of Reason.
Mestiston strives to overcome all obstacles and challenges, men of reason and justice, Homo universalis, ring table mathematical, passion and discipline, the metiston perseveres and prevails, the iron mind iron body, trades and professions, skills athletic training practice moral intellectual development progress, metistonic principles metistonic path, guaranteed employment, public forum building, strategy games, training complex, mutual aid societies, inspiration, spiritual, mutual aid societies, both a competitive and supportive system, mutual improvement club, hygiene standards, developing good habits destroying bad ones, international law enforcement mercs for hire, there is a holiness in the use of reason the true god inside all, metistons have no limits, exercise as religious duty, sword bow, perseverance and resourcefulness education and training, its better to be better, crafts synonyms, athletic IQ mental athletics, god of struggle and triumph, gods as calls to action, making them practical and useful, quests that engender teamwork or self discovery and improvement, a wilderness journey or labyrinthine challenge with starvation or other difficulties in which metistons must overcome with guile, determination and skills, perfect mind development, extreme passion combined with highly rational, monasticism, metistonic development program, talents abilities arts crafts under skill, discipline industry perseverance passion, trophies and jewelry, ASVAB test, MOS system, arts/expertise under skill, 666 laws or 256, members must contribute are incentivized, health under athletic, OM, with focused and delicate mind one can accomplish incredible things, justice, good judgment, prudence, to become a god and create a perfect society, you live you learn you improve, occupations profession under skill, it all begins with a choice with the will, historical accuracy is important to the mestiston order for sainthood
"In the name of Reason..."
Faith in the Higher Order
Striving for excellence in everything
White, blue, red, black robes for metistons.
Men of quality and caliber, courage and intelligence, good hygiene, etc.
Hero/champion type of training.
Adventures. Real ones.
Recognizing the imperfections of man, you are allowed a maximum of 2 vices
The thing with coming up with ideas about this whole concept, is that I can draw from history, from fiction, from all kinds of sources. I mean, there are the examples of the Teutonic Knights, shaolin monks, catholic monks, Vulcans from star trek, and so on. There is an abundance of material to draw from. I shall take some good ideas from all sorts of places, and apply them if I can. Also, in the areas of testing for membership, or first off testing for myself, I can study up on various IQ tests, on different tests of performance, in intelligence, athletics, creativity, moral character (give some tasks to test willpower, capacity to contribute, etc.). Naturally, whatever I come up with, I must be able to conquer those challenges and objectives myself.
I am capable of accomplishing or achieving anything which does not violate Natural laws.
The ability to do things that the average man is incapable of doing. To accomplish things the average man does not have the power to.
Mestiton support/backup card.
The perfection of self. The perfection of society and the world into universal enlightened order.
Awards and rewards. Silver hawks, gold boars.
Searching for the Holy Grail, that is, something special and holy, exploring and testing yourself. What is it exactly? I do not know, but a man must quest for it with as much determination and resourcefulness as he can muster.
So what shall the emphasis be? Are Metistons mostly formed from the concept of the conquistador, the adventurer/explorer, the aggressive mercantilist?
A Metiston should be good at just about everything that a man should ideally be capable and competent in. He should be great in at least 1 thing on top of this.
Fast track in rank for those who demonstrate Mestistonic capabilities already.
Path to Perfection, to each their own path.
The Gift of Reason
To challenge oneself to greater heights. To demand more and better from oneself. To become the best of the best.
Neo-capitalist and business nationalist are ideologies, which are a hybrid of intellect and moral aspects.
To create a society which rewards talent, effort, and goodness.
The moral orders.
Vocation/profession. Artisan Scientist Engineer Craftsperson Businessperson Laborer
Harnessing the instinct to be better men.
Developing one's capability to accomplish things overall.
One tries to know their limitations and faults. This is self-knowledge.
We believe in human potential, and we seek to actualize our own. The pursuit of greatness, the infinite journey and the experience. The power. The greatness.
The highest and best form of society and civilization possible.
To possess a finely developed intellect.
The arte of Reason.
To seek and defeat challenges and tests of abilities and character. To gain experience and sensations. To formulate goals and to accomplish them. To overcome and reach ever higher heights. Beating challenges.
Exceptionalism. Solid competence and efficiency in all endeavors or chosen vocation as a mandate.
The triumph of Reason. Good conduct. If you allow any vulnerabilities or flaws of moral character within your actions or habits then you necessarily open the door to greater flaw. Be aware of this, even if having no ill behavior at all is not humanly possible.
What is the fundamental, absolute truth? That the mind is the center of all things, and the most powerful force in the universe?
Society for the improvement of the individual as well as the society and world community as a whole.
Men who are ambitious and self-determined yet who also follow rules and who can obey group structure, ruthless for a good cause, aggressive and competitive yet also helpful and cooperative. Therefore, the symbol could be the yin-yang or some derivation of it. Civilized, cultivated gentlemen.
Developing an inner force which allows these men to accomplish feats which are beyond the average. To be able to do things, get things done, change and influence, protect, stabilize and harmonize. To be an element for good in the world. The inner power and those capabilities. The force. Or rather the Mestitonic spirit. The strength.
To spread universalist civilization around the world.
Dedicated to the Pursuit of Perfection.
Character/personality traits desirable. Shall there be a test?
Men who can do anything a man is capable of doing.
Metistonic drink- healthy and refreshing.
The seven requirements. EX can lift own body weight, has IQ of 107, has demonstrably good character/personality, etc.
Metistonic artistic style.
The power of Will. The power of Reason. The power of Belief. The power of Imagination.
Greatness. Glory. Power.
Mestitonic architecture must be grand, powerful, and impressive, with a beautiful, mysterious, otherworldly quality to it.

On Being Industrious


Be industrious, this is what one must be in life. The power of making tiny little improvements, but making them consistently every single day. Progress, over time. Small but daily advancements.
How do I combat and eliminate all time waste?
The power of using a good system. A systematic approach. Finding the most efficient way, the best way.
Minimum work/effort expense for maximum product/result. Seek that in all things.
Unfinished work today is extra work for tomorrow.
Employ your time excellently
When the choice arises between doing work or not, do the work, because this will eliminate the possibility of wasted time. Wasted time is the greatest enemy.
Perhaps develop the energy first, train and improve this, mental and physical stamina and workload, to outperform the average.
Be steadily active.
Look for results. Be action-oriented.
Work is life.
Have a mental map of what you need to get done and when you are doing it, what sequence. Daily, weekly, monthly, and so on. Especially day-to-day.
Importance of good personal time management.
One of the greatest errors a man can make, not working hard enough.
Don't attempt to sleep unless you really feel it. Otherwise it usually won't work.
Make sure to give your body and mind ample opportunity to rest and sleep. Then push yourself even though you may feel tired/sleepy/have minor aches or pains because you are really not, not to the point that you would need to genuinely worry about it.
Actually doing it is the most important thing.
Keep your activities in a time order and assignment and limits, with the goal of maximizing your productivity and value for time.
Define Industriousness-what is waste? How do you measure progress or improvement of efficiency objectively?
The main aim of training is to improve performance, therefore to possess a high level of capability in that area which you are training.
Mono tasking may be more efficient
Be prompt. If you intend to do something, do not fidget about it, or drag it out, or repeatedly re-consider it, or wait on it too long. Finish it, and in reasonable time.

Avenues to Wealth

The point is to accumulate capital, then invest or start profit making.
Talent only makes a difference when two people for example have a similar amount of experience in any endeavor.
Pursuit and attainment of wealth, the accumulation of worldly resources, social influence and power.
Apply yourself, push yourself, challenge yourself.
What are the factors/keys to achieving wealth? What are some possible routes I should try?
Get good at making money.
The ones who do not spend tend to win and those who spend indiscriminately and loosely will lose.
Obey the dictates of the market. Compete aggressively for the best job for the highest pay. Seek out the cheapest most affordable rents. Eliminate any excess spending. You must be willing to look for the best deal and move to a newer job and look for the cheapest rent.
The skill of Business, the moral of Business. Money is Life.
Wealth is a game. Try to understand the system, the rules, the details, the shortcuts, the tactics.
If you have gifts and talents you should maximize them. There is a chance that whatever gifts you have the market might reward you for it.
You must have a surplus that is accumulating.
How far away from the perfect money maker are you? Try to get closer.
Look for the money. Imagine how to get it. There are different avenues. Take the most promising, from where your position is now. Do things on the side.
Wealth accumulation is about how to make money, whether or not it is through business.
Gospel of speed, do it faster and better. But be careful as well.
Try to dual task, or perhaps even to multi-task if you can do it effectively.
How to get a better job? Ask yourself where to go, what to do in order to access a better category of work.
In general, if you don't know how to go about it, then you must make your best guess. Learn from the experience, and then move forward and progress from there. Rinse, repeat. The important thing is to make solid attempts, perhaps it will be necessary to make many, many attempts. So be it. Remember that 1 single success means reward.
Prevent mistakes before they happen. Future calculate, imagine what is going to happen, imagine the possibilities.
Close the deal, whatever happens, get it done. The point is to get results. Get it done, and get it done promptly. Achieve the objectives. My current mantra to myself: get it done. Do not dilly about.
Do not fear work, but rather embrace it, and love it. Only fools hate to work for themselves. But be wise and recognize what is to your best advantage and what is not.
The ultimate goal is not the money per se, but to live your life as you like and spend your time as you wish.
Do not doubt that this is a challenge, and will test your resourcefulness and cunning. An exciting test.
Economic tactics employed by financially skilled individuals, such as penny-pinching frugality, buying vs renting or vice versa, selling in the sellers market and buying in the buyers market, getting relevant college degrees, etc.
You are fighting against poverty, your own.
Be a specialized laborer rather than a run of the mill, easy to replace one. This means higher wages.
Get the money first. Then you can have the resource which allows you options, such as to pursue your life's ambitions, whatever they may be.



A Practical Education


Practical subjects should take precedence. How do businesses really operate? How does your plumbing basically work? The common objects in your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom.
One must organize and devise a system according to its purpose, from your clothes drawer to a government.
Reason and experience must work together. Observation and experimentation. Theory and practice consistent with each other.
Experience fully, not just book learning, this is key.
The books I read will fall into 3 categories, useful, educational, or entertaining.
From simple to complex, step by step. Look for fundamental purposes and the big picture
An education which involves the student in the real process. For example immersion in history by placing them physically in a stone age situation with according technology or Egyptian old kingdom or Victorian industrial age to modern settings. Taking the intellectual journey through lessons in art, the religious practices, the technology, the human mindset, the cultural practices. Practice of skills at each according period from ancient man to modern man.
Following good models, learning from successful approaches. A good way to learn is through mimicry at first.
If what you're doing isn't working, try a different approach.
Never quit the correct course of action. Lessons such as this are generally not taught in classrooms. Life lessons tend to be learned outside of academics.
Look for the practical benefit of learning chemistry or other. One can know how to make perfumes, and many things besides.
Educating one on how to build their own civilization, the basics. Basic survival and settlement skills. How to make fire, how to build a simple primitive house, how to make a gnomon. Lessons on making good rules and laws, experience in performing basic medicine and healing, carpentry, simple masonry, baking bread, hunting, making beer, ironworking. Moral rules. Lessons in good hygiene. Lessons in methods and practices.
What it means to be an expert, what standards? Novice, Journeyman, Expert, Master. How much time, and what performance level?
People experience, places experience.
Technologies should be put to your use and benefit. Technology is a powerful thing. Use it.
To be skilled at thinking, imagining, the intellectual processes.
Modern survival practices in the current modern environment. For example doing resumes and interviewing. Basic auto repair, tax return filing. Develop a high general modern life competence level.
Research to find the most interesting educational resources, info, tools, and aids.
