master your mind to get stupid rich (full guide)

A Roman poet, Horus, over 2,000 years ago said, "Rule your mind or it will rule you." And this concisely captures

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

financial goals. It's an interesting question. What's the difference between

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

case. Results are generated by one thing, consistent action towards that defined target. There is nothing else

defined target. There is nothing else going on. And this gives you immense

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

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

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

taking. And that lag time could be a year. The results you have right now are

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

opposite. And so it goes against our human programming. This causes something

human programming. This causes something that is known as a self- interference loop. And we've got a diagram of it

loop. And we've got a diagram of it here. So what happens is you're at

here. So what happens is you're at current reality. This is where you're

current reality. This is where you're currently at. And you're like, well, I

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

reality. At some point you were 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

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

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

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

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

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

course correct. Action is the only way we can interact with the world around us. The results you've got right now is

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

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

action. They cannot push through this discomfort zone. unconsciously or

discomfort zone. unconsciously or consciously, whether they realize it or not, they're stuck in this self- interference loop. Whe whether it's

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. The cure cannot be just take action. Do you not think you would

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.

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

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

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

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

true. There is no observable way of finding. It just hasn't been proven.

finding. It just hasn't been proven.

This is why I avoid words like manifestation. It means a million

manifestation. It means a million different things to a million different people. And it's a word that's been kind

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,

these. If you're not taking action, nothing matters. Nothing changes.

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

beliefs. These all combine and work 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.

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

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

reality. And I'm going to go through this slowly because there is a lot going on. Perhaps you're kind of breezing past

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,

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

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

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 relationship. It's called reciprocal

relationship. It's called reciprocal 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

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

predictions. These all mean the same thing. And so, you have these collection

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

are. And the self-concept is the king of all. It sits above everything else. It's

all. It sits above everything else. It's

your self-concept that defines your outcomes. And it does this through

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

external reality. Now, external reality is evidence for the type of person you are. And so this as you can see an arrow

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

of. And so that belief determines the emotional response. Our emotions arise

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

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

world. Quick shortcuts your brain can make. Emotion is essentially crafted

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

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

much. Your your thinking is this weird process. It's like a broken record.

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

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

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

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

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

thing. Emotions we can feel, thoughts we can observe. It's your self-concept

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.

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

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

deliberate. Now, these percentages aren't specifically accurate. The 60,

the 20, the 20 that is not consciousness. A lot of people

consciousness. A lot of people misunderstand this. People say the

misunderstand this. People say the subconscious mind. If someone says this,

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

mind. You cannot point at the subconscious mind. Consciousness is like

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

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

very moment. That's 100%. But at a default, your deliberate action is very small. Like most of your day, you're

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

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

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

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

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

action. But the point is, self-concept is defining action through state of being. Very rarely are you going to act

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

confident action. Likewise, if you're feeling anxious, your action will reflect that. That's the third

reflect that. That's the third connection that I'm sure we've securely made. The fourth connection is, as I

made. The fourth connection is, as I alluded to earlier, action and external reality. This is very simple. Action is

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

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

nothing changes. If you don't change action actions, you won't change your results. And so that's why that's the

results. And so that's why that's the only arrow connecting to external reality. Now, as I said, it's nuanced.

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

out here. But it all starts and ends with action. And you cannot, I guess,

with action. And you cannot, I guess, underestimate that. Action cannot be

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

mechanism. This is the automatic reinforcement mechanism. The ARM is the

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

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

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

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 person. If you're thinking confident thoughts, it's not insignificant evidence that you are a confident person. If you're taking

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

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. So that belief about confidence will begin. Let's say you have a belief that you're not a confident person. And this evidence

confident person. And this evidence contradicts that. So it begins to flip.

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

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

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.

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

driving. Emotion is the language of memory. The reason you can remember this

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

emotion. Emotion is the language of memory. When we relive things, we feel

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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. This is the entire causal network connected and this is how it works. Now what we're going to do

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

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

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

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

works. the rules. This is such a competitive advantage. I could leave you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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 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

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.

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

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

hardship. These are all synonyms for each other. And the action that we're

each other. And the action that we're taking falters once we meet that resistance. Nine times out of 10, most

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

goal. So inconsistency comes from somewhere. And it's not when you're

somewhere. And it's not when you're feeling good, it's when you're feeling bad. Emotion is the large determinant of

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

down. And then more guilt and shame comes. So it creates this vicious cycle

comes. So it creates this vicious cycle which brings you down and down to rock bottom. Now rock bottom is your identity

bottom. Now rock bottom is your identity floor.

What we just touched there was your identity ceiling. So what we're seeing

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

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

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

evidence. You're not accumulating anything really. All of your progress

anything really. All of your progress dies as you're going on the downward phase. Now, maybe you're making a slight

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

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

identity. You know, it's not that you lack discipline. is that you're trying

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

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

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

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

mangoes. You cannot create a new future whilst holding on to the identity of the past. It's your identity which

past. It's your identity which determines change. And so most people

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

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.

how it forms, how it works, and how to win. Because what we're looking at here

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

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

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

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

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

happening. It's a model that we can follow. And this trial can be broken

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,

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

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

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

different. We already established that earlier. They fracture into two, but

earlier. They fracture into two, but these still are held together by beliefs. So the old self is held

beliefs. So the old self is held together by beliefs known as limiting beliefs. These are the beliefs that hold

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

like identities. And they have their own habits, their own emotional states, their own thought patterns. This can

materialize very tangibly. These aren't abstract

very tangibly. These aren't abstract ideas. As I said, this is all going on

ideas. As I said, this is all going on in the mind, but this one's especially physical. It's especially something that

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

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 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

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.

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.

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

for influence. And they compete for influence in the omnorphic trial.

And so there's a trial that essentially creates itself. Theoretically, of

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

representation. So, we've got you in the middle. This is you in the sense of uh

middle. This is you in the sense of uh 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

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, 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

influence. And we'll get into those in a second. But the point is a survival

second. But the point is a survival bias. All organisms have a survival

bias. All organisms have a survival bias. Is this I guess will or or or

bias. Is this I guess will or or or programming to bias towards survival over death. And your old self is no

over death. And your old self is no different. The identity will fight to

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

being. Your state of being rep essentially selects your behavior and your beliefs. Now we've already

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,

taking. If you're feeling confident, which is the aligned state of being, you're going to start taking confident 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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

take. But the action counts as a vote during this trial. Now votes are added up. And of course, your desired reality

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,

our goal. Self- interference, self-sabotage. Those vote vote dos can

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

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

action towards the goal. You're doing

whatever the inputs are for your business or your vehicle, but you're feeling doubt and anxiety and fear. This

isn't very compelling evidence that you are this desired s version of yourself, 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 you're not capable if you're taking action with a huge amount of fear because that's suggesting that you don't yet have the goal yet. So, it actually

enforces the old self. And so a motion as we established essentially determines the uh the weight of a vote and the direction of

the vote in which in terms of which set 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 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 yourself isn't something you can switch on and off. They're something that accumulates slowly based off evidence.

The actions you take and the states you are feeling is a leading indicator of the identity that you are. And so when you are in the room of the desired self and you are that aligned state and

you're taking that action, those beliefs are accumulating and and and reinforcing themselves and the beliefs of the old self are breaking down. But this is something that happens slowly. It's a

essentially a lagging indicator. Your

identity is a lagging indicator of the actions and the and the and the emotions that you have, how they combine together 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 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 have established in omnorphic reality.

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

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 occurs.

They're the rules of this reality. Now,

both of these selves are essentially fighting for influence. They are trying to capture your state of being and bring you into their room so that you take

action in alignment with their goals and their vote total accumulates and they 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 this through weapons of influence. Each

self has weapons it can use to influence your state and therefore the beliefs you're following, the action you take, and ultimately the outcome of the trial.

And so only one can win. Now, as I said, this is actually quite a good visual illustration of this. State of being acts like this switch. You can only be in one room. You can you can you you

can't occupy two rooms at once. You can

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

so the outcome is when oneself accumulates enough votes to dominate identity and therefore reality. And so

the goal for us who want to change and escape a life of mediocrity and get rich or whatever the goal is, you need to be in the desired room that represents the

desired self. feeling that state, taking

desired self. feeling that state, taking the aligned action and therefore accumulating enough votes consistently, whether this is for months

or for years, and consistently doing that until the vote totals reach a number or you're just taking enough 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 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 that wins the vast majority of the time, bringing you from neutral into its room.

How does it do this?

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

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

This is the original essentially uh visual illustration I showed of the irreducible component of success. It's

simply consistent action to bridge current reality with desired reality.

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

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

or that boundary of what you are normal with essentially or what you find normal because your identity represents essentially what you know and what you

famili what you're familiar with. And so

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

If it's not arising, this means you're not making any progress. This means you haven't actually left your current 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

this is essentially how it works. So you

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

think of think of an example. Maybe a

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

the old version of yourself. And so when you're about to do that task or when you plan to do it, when you set an intention, resistance arises. So for

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.

Emotional fog is it's it's like a fog.

descends down on your mind. You enter

sort of fight or flight. You can only 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

rational intention which set the goal in the first place and said, "Look, it's 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 action starts taking over because this emotional fog has descended down on you 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 resistance in the first place. And

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

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 its room. is now under you're now

its room. is now under you're now essentially being the old version of yourself through the beliefs that you are operating by and therefore the action that you're taking. So the action

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

are cast from the old room. Evidence

begins to accumulate. Trial is lost.

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

They start trudging outside of the current reality and then they come right back to where they started. 99% of

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

people don't even know this is going on.

They don't understand that the resistance, the hardship that they're facing is only coming from the old self.

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

doesn't have emotional states or labels.

It is what it is. You know, somebody could view 20 sales call rejections in a 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 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 facing is coming from that version of you that is fighting to stay the same.

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

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

people who get dragged into the room of the old essentially lose the trial basically right there in the moment.

They stop taking action and they unconsciously or consciously begin to self-sabotage and go back on their initial intention.

That's the weapon of the old self. Now

to combat this to win number one 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 and you know yourself you need not fear the results of a 100 battles. We know

the weapon that the enemy is now using.

We understand it intimately. We

understand the context in which it 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 this room and defend against attacks

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

And so the first thing is obviously understanding understanding omnorphic reality, understanding the cycle of mediocrity, understanding the trial and the fracturing of self and the

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

reality literacy. This is like learning 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.

I don't need to be scared of it because I know what it is now. Oh, that's just oh, what I'm reaching here is sort of 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 patterns. It's like learning to read. As

patterns. It's like learning to read. As

I said, it's incredibly powerful. So I

didn't I wouldn't even need to go through any of these weapons and I could stop now and a lot of people would make significant change in their life based 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

reason I say desired self, I should have made this clear is is the self you need to become to achieve the goal. The

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 represents that desired reality. And so

we have our own weapons. And by we and and what I mean is you're representing the desired self. This is the version of you that you want to win. I would assume I guess we have weapons that we can win

the reality, the trial of reality or identity that we can actually combat the old self and stand a chance at winning this trial

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

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,

which is number one, and defense, which is number two. So weapons of attack is anything that actively pulls you into the desired room and strengthens the desired self's influence over state,

action, and evidence. So attack is bringing us into the desired self room and taking action from there. Defense is

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 to the old identity. So defense is like 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 what we're actually optimizing for. All

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

weapons of attack are predominantly setting state, but there's also some other stuff going on here in terms of making action more obvious and easier to do because obviously state determines the

type of action that you take. Weapons of

defense are also making those actions more obvious and easy because we're mitigating this the emotional resistance that keeps the vast majority of the people of people the same. Remember

people don't quit. People aren't in inconsistent when it's going well when they're confident and everything's, you know, it's sunny outside. It's when the winter of adversity arrives. And so

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

matter how good we are at staying in that desired self room. The old self has the power to just drag us straight out.

We cannot essentially determine what emotions we feel. We can only determine the reactions that we have to them. And

then we can break break the illusion of 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 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 how to defend against that, we don't 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 alignment because what we're doing here is we're aligning beliefs, emotions, thoughts, and action all together. Four

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.

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

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

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 practice. Embody the version of you for

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

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

inevitable. Those words have been selected incredibly careful carefully and I've c crafted them over the last couple years to encapsulate what 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 people say you've got to assume the identity that already has the goal.

Assume the feeling. People call this the law of assumption. I think this is flawed in many ways. And and the essentially the practicals that people give you is you got to assume that you

already have it. So you got to pretend 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 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 they're getting at, but what you're 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 extravagant lifestyle, driving supercars, spending a lot of money, whatever it may be. But that lifestyle

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 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 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 they're rich, not taking any action, 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 information. We're going to mimic the

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

actions is well, the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable is the version of you right now. It's not a version of you in the future that you're trying to become. It's a version of you that from this very moment, forget about

what happened in the past. What version

of me right now would it be the for whatever time frame you want that the goal is completely inevitable.

And so you need to become this version in three different levers.

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

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

start to reinforce all of your positive behavior with positive selft talk that is aligned with the type of person that you want to be. Secondly is the emotions that you feel. You need to start feeling

like the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. Now I get that con trying to consciously conjure up certain emotions is difficult but it's important to understand emotion does play a significant role here. And we're going

to use tools such as state activation, which is the next one in terms of how we create this emotional state when there just isn't any reason to feel like this.

Third tool is the action that you take.

Now, this is the most important lever that we can pull in terms of inevitability embodiment because action is an expression of priorities. That's a

quote from uh Gandhi. Who you you know action is a vote for the type of person that you want to be. action is an 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.

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

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

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

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

shift through repetition and emotion, as we already established. So if we continue to take action, under aligned emotion, and we continue to repeat this, no matter how familiar it is, the more

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

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 easier. Number one is identifying input

easier. Number one is identifying input 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 actually do. Well, the version of you

actually do. Well, the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable is spamming the inputs. Now understand a 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

is whatever moves the needle, actually grows the business. For most businesses, this is going to be something to do with sales or marketing. And so, establish a quantity of sales or marketing that you

have to do. Whether it's 200 cold calls a day or a thousand emails or 10 DMs, whatever it is for you, establish a quantity where it'd be unreasonable for you not to achieve your goal. That's a

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

triple it, whatever is required. So that

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

Plug in your metrics, your conversion rates, all of that, and reverse engineer how much quantity you would need to do for it to be unreasonable that you don't achieve the end outcome of your goal.

And then you just execute on that daily.

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

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

There is nothing else you can be doing.

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

feel ready and then act. Action precedes

it. Action is the leading indicator for all of these things. And so you want to feel like the person person whom the goal is inevitable, you must become them in the way you act through your

routines, through everything, including the daily inputs that you're executing on. That's inevitability embodiment.

on. That's inevitability embodiment.

Incredibly powerful. Become the version 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 action and achieves the goal in the desired time frame that you want it. The

second is state activation. And this

builds directly on inevitability embodiment because as I said it can be hard to create emotional states, manufacture them and just say I 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 that is real and is powerful and can 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 a practice known as state activation where we're using these concepts of

repetition and emotional intensity to shift belief without actually having experience. So, so this is repeated

experience. So, so this is repeated action with emotional weight visualized because the mind cannot differentiate the difference between physical

experience in physical reality and psychological experience. But the

psychological experience. But the crucial thing a lot of people miss there is this psychological experience has to be emotionally intense. Otherwise, it's

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

visualizing something, you feel it emotionally intensely and you can bring that motion forward. Whatever technique

or whatever you're doing, use it. But

this is what I really like and this is what is in line with psychology and and and modern science. So the first step is 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 get into low alpha theta brain wave 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 this in two ways. We've got the meditative induction and the hypnotic 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 meditate mindfulness meditation until your whole body feels relaxed. You can

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 5 minutes, maybe it takes 15. It depends

on the context of the day. If you're

more stressed, it's going to take longer to get relaxed. Quieten down the mind, 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 focused on the breath, you've completed your state of induction. You've lowered

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

That's one way. That's the longer way, but it's the easier way. The second way is hypnotic induction. And so hypnosis is this well, it's it's misunderstood

firstly because hypnosis isn't just something that people use to make people dance on stages. It's used clinically.

Hypnosis is something that can change behavior on a dime. People can do hypnosis sessions and stop smoking, lose weight for insomnia. These are clinical

uh prescription hypnosis can be. And so

we can use a hypnotic induction which essentially gets us into a state of deep relaxation but highly focused. It's

these two together. So you're deeply relaxed but highly focused on what 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 induction to reach the same state. And

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

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

moving around with the eyes or or visualizing a certain thing that's 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 be as fast as maybe a couple minutes.

And you can create them for yourself as well based on what you essentially I guess uh what you're most receptive to and what works the best for you. You can

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 hypnotic. It doesn't really matter.

hypnotic. It doesn't really matter.

Choose whatever works for you best. And

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

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

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

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.

So, we don't focus on outcomes. We focus

on the actions which get us there. But

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

being remembered. Nothing's impacting

belief. And therefore, it's not creating lasting change in terms of state and belief change, which is ultimately what we're trying to do. And so, we we need

to manufacture emotional intensity. And

we do that through a short scene, five to 10 seconds max, that represents you taking aligned action or being the person who already believes it's normal.

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

do this in the morning to set state whether it's making the cold call, creating the content, taking the sales call, editing the ads, deep work, whatever it is. Visualize yourself in

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

you do it, the more vividly you can imagine things, the more details you can 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 repetition. So that brings us onto the

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

amplification. With each repetition, intensify the emotion, conviction, certainty calm authority inevitability. Let the body feel it

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

your breath, facial tension, internal tone of the body. It becomes a whole lot easier to to build up this emotional intensity when you begin to repeat the scene over and over again. And you

essentially do this until you stop until it feels forced until until you feel like you're really forcing the scene and you're forcing the emotion. Just stop.

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

This protocol doesn't really have a time limit on it. can be x amount of minutes depending on whatever feels right depending on how long the induction is and depending on how long the single scene visualization is. But what we're

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

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

required action and the state that is behind it, the confidence, the certainty and the inevitability. And so what we do is we come out of that visualization.

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

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 beliefs. This is directly building up

beliefs. This is directly building up empowering beliefs which hold together this desired self. But that's less important because we cannot just change belief with visualization alone. It

needs to be supported by action. But

that's a side benefit. The main benefit is we hold this state of being that's come out of thin air. We've just

visualized it in our own mind. We've

created it. But that's the power of this level of emotional amplification and repetition that we can create. And so

we've created this state of being and we can hold on to it and allow it to push us into action for the day. It's almost

like, you know, when you get a really small snowball and you push it down a hill and it can build up and up and up into a massive one. This is just building up the initial snowball that gives us the confidence, the certainty

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

action. Those actions are then the leading indicator of more certainty, more confidence, more inevitability that you carry through the entire day. And by

the time you get to the end of the day, your snowball is massive. You've taken a huge amount of confidence and you're feeling aligned and like the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. But

having a protocol that you can go through before you start work is incredibly powerful in terms of getting that aligned emotional state and action together. State activation works in

together. State activation works in conjunction with inevitability embodiment. You run the protocol and

embodiment. You run the protocol and 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 visualized. You carry it forward. It

visualized. You carry it forward. It

makes it a whole lot easier to become this desired self. super powerful when they're synergized correctly together.

This can really allow the action towards the goal to bridge that gap become super obvious and super easy when you are being the version of you for whom the goal is inevitable. And you're asking

yourself the questions in terms of what would this person do? The action becomes a whole lot more easy because you're aligning identity, thought, emotion, and

action all together. Omnorphic alignment

or omniorphic change.

That brings us on to the third weapon of attack that we can use. And this is going down a different route because humans require compelling

incentives and reasons to take action.

We do not take action if there's not a reason for said action. So the reason we're taking action for a goal is that short-term investment in terms of hardship for long-term gain. So there is

a reason, but we're not going to take random action for not any reason. But

the reasons we give ourselves, or at least the reasons we think we're acting, aren't compelling enough for the vast majority of people. You see, most people want more money because of the lifestyle

it gives them or the freedom. You know,

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

answers. I want to retire my parents. I

want financial freedom. I want financial independence. I want a nice house. I

independence. I want a nice house. 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 environment. This is surface level. This

environment. This is surface level. This

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 wants to be rich if they had the option to it. I know some people say that, oh, well, I don't care about wealth, but if you were offered a million dollars, you would take it because then you could give it to other

people if you really didn't want to use 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 do not. It the material motivations

do not. It the material motivations aren't enough.

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 because the reason for acting, the reason behind accepting short-term

hardship isn't compelling enough. This

just wanting a car. I want a McLaren.

Why? like that's not that's not compelling enough in terms of encouraging you to actually go ahead and take the action. This is encapsulated

perfectly in a quote from nature. He who

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 emotional resistance the old self throws at you, you will continue to take action when your why is strong enough. And so

what we're trying to do is essentially take these material desires that you want, these physical desires, and find the true source. And we do this through

a process known as Socratic reasoning, which is very simple. Just asking

yourself why over and over again until you find the true source. Now, material

desires, physical desires have emotional reasons behind them. I don't pick up a 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

things based on how they make us feel, not the objects themselves. The physical

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 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

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 around Miami." And then I asked him,

around Miami." And then I asked him, "Why do you want to do that?" And then he says, "Well, I want to be respected.

I want to be recognized. And I want to be high status." And I say, "Well, why do you want those things?" And maybe he says, "Well, I didn't get them as a childhood, as a child." And I say, "Well, why was that?" And then he

answers, "Well, I was, I don't know, I was bullied and I was neglected and I didn't get that." And you know what? It

gets deeper into emotional reasons, 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

something you want to look at, which is why it's deep and why it's unconscious.

But you've got to continue to ask yourself why to tap into the actual 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 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 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 because they fear controlling or or some manipulator or or a boss of some kind.

These are the sorts of process that we 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 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

the money affords you. Money as a as a concept is this is this unit that we can 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 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 house, travel, whatever it is.

And then for each of those, ask yourself why over and over again why you want it.

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 the goal itself. The growth, the mastery, the purpose, and the freedom that you get from it. So, an example of

an intrinsic driver could be, well, this goal offers me an opportunity to grow who I am, and I know that I'm happiest when I'm growing, and therefore, I want

to do hard things and achieve hard 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 after something difficult rather than 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 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 action because I want to be, you know, I want to find mastery and I want to be free and I want to have purpose." Fine.

But humans evolved as tribes. Our

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 think of them. There's no question about that, whether you like to admit it to yourself or not. And so exttrinsic drivers are a very important part of

this puzzle.

Exttrinsic drivers are the drivers which are outside of yourself and explaining why you want something. So the money, the status, the recognition, the material items and how that's going to make you feel based on how other people

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 we've got to exist in a tribe, a done bar number of 150. We have the higher status we have, the more likely we

survive and reproduce. So, it's it's part of our evolutionary programming to 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.

Whatever's true is true. And we cannot we cannot change that. And so keep Socratic reasoning until you find that source, that truth. It's hot to the 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.

You you understand your true fuel of why 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 rate them from 1 to 10 in terms of potency, which is very simple. You just

ask yourself how willing you are to accept short-term suffering for this certain driver, for this certain drive 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

them down in bullet points um in one sentence or less, really clear in terms of what this is. And read that every single day before you start work

and as soon as you end. Remind yourself

every single day why you're doing the action, why you're going through this suffering. Because most people just

suffering. Because most people just disconnect with that goal. Remember

this, the old self comes in and creates this irrational fog and you disconnect from that initial rational intention.

But if you constantly remind yourself why you're doing this over and over again, you can bear that how. You can

bear that suffering. So we find the truth and then we remind ourselves of it over and over again. Often humans need 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 to bridge that gap from desired reality to current reality, it makes the actions 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 easy, helping us achieve our goals. And

so that's the third weapon of attack.

Again, this is allowing us to get into the aligned or the desire the aligned state of the desired self that confidence, calm, certainty because now we actually understand why we want

something. Clarity being the

something. Clarity being the prerequisite of control here.

There are three weapons of attack that can bring us into this desired state of confidence calm certainty of direction, and inevitability. Great.

But if we don't know how to defend against the old self, the old self will can still just drag you out of that desired room into its own room and bring you back to where you came from.

Self-sabotage. We need shields to defend ourselves from the influence of that 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 works. Doesn't matter how much how good

works. Doesn't matter how much how good 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 the old self, we don't stand a chance.

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 return. Become the observer and create

return. Become the observer and create separation from thought and emotion. You

see, as I said, negative thought uh 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 them. You see, most people live their

them. You see, most people live their entire lives identified and lost in the midst of thought and emotion. When

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 so what we need to do is separate ourselves from that negative emotion, from that thought to then be able to create deliberate choice. The way we do

this is through the skill of metacognition or trained metacognitive return where we become the observer of our thoughts and emotions rather than

the one identified with them. What this

means is well what metacognition means is becoming aware of 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 aware of your thoughts and emotions as they are arising. So being in the present moment as your thoughts and

emotions are arising as compared to what most people are including yourself as you're watching this video you're 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

watch the thoughts. Senica said

something along the lines of we suffer more in imagination than in reality. You

see, if we can step out of imagination, all of the thoughts and emotions and and you know, ruminating on the pain of the past and worrying about the future, these are all illusions. They're not

real. They're just thoughts arising in the present moment. If we can step back and become aware of this process, then we can begin to control it. Awareness is

the prerequisite of control. That's

probably the 15th time I've said that today, and I will continue to say it 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 resistance because the reason it's so insidious, the reason it's so powerful is because you don't even know that

you're under the influence of emotional resistance and the weapon of the old self until it's too late. What happens

is you feel lowle low levels of doubt and anxiety for this specific example.

And you don't even notice it. You don't

even consciously recognize it and you have doubt and anxious thoughts and and 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, "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 aware of it. You were lost in thought.

You are being distracted. A

metacognition allows us to notice the moment emotional resistance, adversity, or hardship comes. The moment it comes, 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

know, the train won't continue to run if you're not piling coal into the furnace.

And so, metacognition allows us to interrupt that process and essentially interrupt the process of the old self-resistance building up and 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

becoming aware of the thoughts that you're thinking recalling what was I just thinking then what emotions am I feeling asking yourself these questions becoming aware becoming the observer

rather than the ident the identifier or the experiencer of said emotion but the another way the only well really the only way we can do that as a supplement but the only way we can do

this is through mindfulness meditation not necessarily sitting with your cross-legged you can lie down you can sit whatever position you want this is a practice of the mind and so there's a

channel called declutter the mind and they have a series on mindfulness meditations I think starting at 10 minutes 20 minutes 15 minutes so start small but daily meditation meditation is

this idea of or mindfulness specifically is focusing on your breath noticing you've been distracted so being metacognitive aware of that distraction and bringing yourself back that process

of bringing yourself back to the present moment and focusing back on the breath is known as metacognitive return.

Becoming aware of distraction and bringing yourself back. That's the skill which we're trying to refine here. Being

aware of the emotional resistance and bringing yourself to the observer position, separating from it so that you can make deliberate choice so that you're not lost in that fog of emotion which catches so many people out and

they begin to take a rational behavior and go back on that initial intention and fail their goal. They become

inconsistent. We do this through mindfulness meditation. Now, you will

mindfulness meditation. Now, you will suck at first. And this is brilliant because what you'll do is you'll meditate for 10 seconds. You'll focus on your breath and then you'll forget that 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

you'll go like, "Wait, wasn't I trying to focus on my breath?" And then you'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 you'll get lost in thoughts and distract you'll get distracted so easily. But the

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 muscle, but the certain areas of the brain change under experienced meditators. So there are physical

meditators. So there are physical 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 that accumulates with consistency. You

can't do this, you know, seven days a week for one week and then none. You've

got to do it daily. Pick a time. 10

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

feel ridiculous. It will feel like a waste of time. You will try and convince yourself it's a waste of time. But this

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 control them. Control is the prere

control them. Control is the prere understanding or awareness is the prerequisite of control. If we not if we're not aware of the negative uh resistance that is overcoming us and

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.

Catching it early is the most effective strategy we have to mitigate the weapon of the old self and its emotional resistance. This brings us onto the

resistance. This brings us onto the second shield or weapon of defense that we can use because this ties directly into it.

This is the disarm protocol.

This is used to convert avoidance into fuel, irrationality into action. And

it's the process known as uh transmutation. Transmutation or

transmutation. Transmutation or transmuting something was a term used in this ancient practice of alchemy.

Turning base metals like copper or lead into gold. Now transmutation is the

into gold. Now transmutation is the 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 were doing, but it it's it's kind of like a mythical term.

So what we want to transmute is the avoidance that emotional resistance 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 and back into the desired self's room.

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 self room. We are essentially

self room. We are essentially in a position where action we have a bias towards action. The confidence, the 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 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 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 metacognitive you are because you are it that it has its own beliefs. It will

eventually drag you out of the desired room, no matter how good your attack is, no matter how good your metacognition is and into the old room. And so we need to have a protocol

to essentially go through a series of behaviors, a series of steps to go back to take ourselves out of that old room and back into the desired room.

You see some a psychological term like confidence can be broken down into a series of steps, a series of behaviors.

Maybe it's a hundred different things.

It's you you you don't speak as quickly and you project your voice better and you use your hands to communicate and you lift your shoulders up. Maybe these are four

examples of 100 behaviors that contribute to confidence.

Emotional resiliency is the exact same.

It is broken down to a bunch of different behaviors. And this disarm

different behaviors. And this disarm protocol synthesizes all of the behaviors that we need to do to become more emotionally resilient. Emotional

resiliency is allow us allowing us to take this emotional resistance and turn it into fuel. And so this is something that you deploy whenever you feel resistance. Now this is different for

resistance. Now this is different for different people as I mentioned. It

could be apathy. It could be anxiety. It

could be fear. It could be procrastination. It could be laziness.

procrastination. It could be laziness.

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 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 where we deploy the disarm protocol.

And so, it's a this is known as a backronym, by the way. D for detection, I for isolation, S for simplify, A for alignment, R for respond, M for

memorize. It would be an acronym, but

memorize. It would be an acronym, but the the the the acronym actually spells out a word. So,

apparently it's called a backronym. Fun

fact, deep into this interesting lesson, always keeping you with surprises. So,

let's go through this. Detection is

requires metacognitive detection. This

is why these two work together. If you

don't have metacognition, we cannot deploy the disarm protocol because we're not aware of the emotional resistance.

You cannot control something if you're not aware of it. Detection. Very simple.

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 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

is you've just established what your me you just become aware of it. This is the expression of this metacognition. That's

very simple. Step one and you do this the moment you feel the emotion. You

don't diver. You don't delay. Even if

it's very minor, you fe you name it instantly because it can build up very 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

is step two now. So this is again this is practicing meditation.

So again, it links, but essentially don't try and solve this problem. When

you're under the influence of negative 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 influence of a drug. It is a drug.

There's a chemical cocktail going on in your body when you feel an emotion like anxiety where you just cannot think rationally. You cannot rely on rational

rationally. You cannot rely on rational thought until the intensity of that emotion drops. But understand the

emotion drops. But understand the 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 quietly and just becoming the observer essentially not getting lost in thought

and fueling that said emotion. Become

the observer. Cut off the thought and 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 because that has nothing to fuel on. You

cannot be anxious forever when you're just sitting in darkness or not darkness but you're sitting down, you're just focusing on your breath and that's all 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 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 this process of isolation and 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 we're neutral. We've just essentially

we're neutral. We've just essentially neutralize this negative emotion which 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?

So many people misunderstand this. They

try and fight the emotion. and they're

like, "No, I don't feel anxious. I'm

going to try and feel confident." And

they try and paper it over. And this

isn't how it works. If you resist something, it will persist. You don't

resist it. You observe it. There's a

slight subtle difference there. Bringing

us on to the third step. Simplify.

And so now that we can think rationally because we've neutralized the I guess the charge of this emotion understand what specifically caused this

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 or uncertainty or sense of difficulty.

Do it through the now sick perspective.

Now, sick. Well, we've got this idea of the cosmic perspective. This is a whole different thing, but it's zooming out universally and understanding that you're kind of irrelevant. This really

helps for people who struggle with fear 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

the present moment. As we discussed earlier in eye eye isolation, the present moment is very comforting because when you understand that all you're responsible for is right now, you can forget about all of the other noise.

The past and the future aren't real. All

you're responsible for is right now.

It's infinitely small. You can get comfort from that as well. So, you can use use these small tools to help debunk the perceived threat. There is no danger

in modern society. You see, fear, these are all maladaptive emotions that aren't serving us anymore. anxiety

they all are wrapped in this meta of emotion of fear. Fear holds all negative emotion together. Even anger, sadness,

emotion together. Even anger, sadness, it relies on some sort of uncertainty, some sort of perceived threat that fear is involved somewhere there. Without

fear, no negative emotion exists. But

the point is fear is a maladaptive emotion in modern society. There is no physical danger, no risk to your life in most scenarios, especially when you're building an online business or or trying

to make money. typically.

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 intellectually. You've got to simplify

intellectually. You've got to simplify and understand, yeah, there's not much to be scared of about this cold call or this sales call or running these ads or creating the content. There is no danger

to my life. I will be fine. I will be okay no matter what. That's kind of the process that you're going through. This

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, a alignment. And so this is about now

a alignment. And so this is about now bringing ourselves from neutral, which 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 short internal affirmation for me. I

just say in my mind, aligned.

It's just a mental key aligned. Because

what I do is whenever I do something successful in the day, I I complete a task after I after I do it, I just say it aligned in my mind and I've sort of

pavlon uh trained that response, that condition of success with that word. So

whenever I say that word, it slightly shifts my state into something that's more conducive to action, let's say. So

you could go down that route. The second

route which you can also do and this is important is to feel genuine gratitude for this resistance. Why would I feel gratitude for something that sucks? The

reason is is because this is an opportunity to break the illusion of fear and resistance. Build the muscles of courage and discipline respectively.

So you've got that well that's actually a side point. You get to build up the bustle of courage acting despite 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 resistance, whatever flavor it is for you, the more you face it and take

action through it, the more you begin to dissolve the illusion. And so which with each step of action, the intensity of the emotion will drop because the emotion relies on some sort of belief.

But if you take action through that emotion, you are providing contradictory evidence to that belief. And so the I 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 it, the more you break that illusion that it's held behind, the less intense it will be. And so you be grateful because this is an opportunity for you

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.

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

would you not feel grateful for an opportunity to fundamentally change your identity, shift your identity, break down those limiting beliefs, and build up those empowering beliefs? This

episode of emotional resistance and adversity is providing us with the opportunity to do that. And so flipping on its flipping it on its head and feeling grateful for it, feeling an

immense amount of gratitude rather than negativity or or victimization of some kind is incredibly powerful and gets you back into that desired room, that room

of confidence, calm, certainty, and and uh inevitability when you feel that gratitude. Gratitude is a very powerful emotion that you can bring back into that desired room. So we've

gone from now if we follow from one to four we've gone from in the midst of the des the old room that kind of looks like a D so that's confusing the old room and its state the doubt whatever the

resistance is we've brought ourselves into neutral and now we've brought ourselves back into the desired room now nothing changes if nothing changes and so the fifth step was always going to be

take action respond beline straight to whatever caused this emotion the task which triggered this emotional response.

You must do it and you must do it now.

It doesn't matter at what quality. It

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.

You produce that evidence. You shift the belief. Super simple.

belief. Super simple.

Finally, we memorize because of course 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 like a fruit that you can have and you can squeeze that fruit for juice that

allows us to shift belief. Now, we can squeeze the the fruit more and produce more juice if we remind ourselves of what we did if we actually memorize it.

And so what I have is some sort of tracker or journal that I just write down the time that I felt the certain emotional resistance, what it was, and then I'll reflect on that journal. So

I'll write down in the journal the moment it arises. Typically around

detection, I'll write it down in the journal at the same time. It's on my phone, so I guess I'm typing it in, not writing, but you get the point.

You write it down and then every evening I do a PM voice journal where I just speak in my voice memos about what happened in the day, what went well, what could go better, reflecting, journaling, right? But during that

journaling, right? But during that journal, I'll check my disarm tracker, 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

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 questions which allow you to just pull the threads and and and reflect on it further, begin to shift that belief

further, begin begin to dissolve the illusion that the old self's weapon has over your behavior.

And so this disarm protocol works in conjunction with metacognition because if you are not aware of your thoughts and emotions, you cannot control them.

But this is the series of behaviors that 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, this is something you're going to need to constantly remind yourself of.

Perhaps print it out, perhaps have it bookmark on your computer, like a a protocol, an SOP, which you can go 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 about 30 seconds depending on the isolation part can take longer but everything else is super quick. It may

seem like a super long and uh exhaustive 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.

We built this on first principles first components consistent sequence of actions toward a defined target. Consistency is what

defined target. Consistency is what we're optimizing for here. And so

someone who is consistent, let's say on an extreme end, you spend eight hours a day working, but four hours of those days you are spent in the disarm

protocol trying to mitigate and and fight negative emotion, but you are being consistent as a result. You are

not letting that negative emotion 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.

This person is inconsistent but perhaps not productive or intense. But then we 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.

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

week four, they reach that point of self 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

tortoise wins in this case because if you're doing less action but 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 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 because if negative resistance back to this this self- interference cycle if

that brings you back to the current reality you failed. you've done. You're

like, you've just quit.

The danger that emotional resistance faces can can face us and and can present us.

If we go back, it's a big document.

We've covered a lot and we're nearly at the end now. Um, if we go back I don't know what I'm looking for. If we go back to the trial, that's it.

Christ. If we go back to the trial, the power that negative emotional resistance has over you and how quickly you can lose the trial. Just understanding how fast your dreams can just vanish when

you get stuck under this fog that this old self can create. Understanding the

risk that negative emotional resistance presents you and essentially it being a 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 blanket, a wet blanket of emotional

resiliency, which is a psychological term that can be synthesized down into a series of behaviors found in the disarm protocol. Everything you need, nothing

protocol. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

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 resistance that the old self is creating and trying to keep itself the same. And

also three weapons of attack that we can use to hold this state and therefore take conducive action and achieve results. Again, we are all doing this

results. Again, we are all doing this optimizing from first principles that consistent sequence of actions. These

tools make the action more obvious and easier. Everything else is irrelevant.

easier. Everything else is irrelevant.

It starts and ends with action, but 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 topics build on top of each other. Now,

if you're still with me, by the end of this very long but incredibly dense 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

just want to thank you. And you need to thank yourself because you have just given your future self one of the 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

course, you need to put it into practice. This is potentially worth

practice. This is potentially worth re-watching a couple times because there's a lot going on here. I've

mentioned a lot. I've covered a lot. And

of course, repetition is going to solidify what I'm saying into memory and something that you embody because it's all well and good having a theoretical philosophy and going, "Ah, well, that makes sense." It's another thing

makes sense." It's another thing actually embodying it in your behaviors, in your actions.

But you have a huge competitive advantage in terms of understanding the rules of reality, how to leverage them, and how to ultimately win the game of reality, which as it stands is the game

is the same game that dictates the game of getting rich. You control your reality, you can get rich. And that's

why they're one of the same. I said at the very start, if you can master your mind, you can get rich. They're

inextricably linked and that's what we're discussing here. This video is going to come out on December the 26th, day after Christmas. So, this is my gift

to you. Thank you for watching and

to you. Thank you for watching and Godspeed.
