  1. Read the book from Robert Greene and 50 cent. The book is named The 50th Law. It's about what kind of mentality 50 cent was able to create success with his music and build an empire with his music business even living with his parents both dead, not going to high school or college, selling cocaine to live by, and how he attracted mentors to teach 50 cent about music. 50 cent encountered many street gangs that were trying to kill him and was jealous of his success, so the book teaches us how 50 had to deal with power play throughout his music career. So much hostility and hardship was with 50 cent, but look at him now. what was 50's advice in the book? Hustle. Fearlessness. God Damn read the fucking book and I think it will help you at least to get the psychology and mentality right before you embark on your journey with the music business, because 50 tells you the business is full of shitheads trying to rob you and steal from you. Hustle and Fearlessness. Ain't it so simple. Everybody knows this, but never take action on this step. The 50th Law book is a continuing on from the 48 laws of power. I recommend both of them but for your benefit, I just say at least read the former.
  2. no problem
  3. Its based on the utopian idea. One of its major problems is to give fair outcomes to all individuals and to destroy social hierarchies, one of the ways is to destroy all signs of luxury, art, or wealth. Better if it was said "fair opportunity to all individuals", no? But communists arent really saying that, are they. Reading Gorky's, The Mother, I could totally see in the book how the characters' pursuit for a communist revolution was not out of spite. I wonder if i was a young man in that era, I could have totally done the same, not knowing other ideas and being a hot tempered person. What intrigues me though is people like nietzsche and Dostoevsky were able to see from miles away there was something fishy about socialism. How tf did they see that? They havent seen socialism unfold yet to its utter fucked upness, but they were able predict the horrible effects of it! What geniuses! Im curious how you guys think you would habe stood with socialism in the era? Do you think you would have been like Dostoevsky or like chairman Mao in his younger days fighting for communism against imperialism? What do you think Dostoevsky and Nietzsche had seen through communism that it had them predict such atrocities even before the destruction of socialism. (Only read the following if you are interested) I write about this because i have a girlfriend in China who i deem to be really similar to me: a normal human being. She aint crazy like me ;). She has her own ambitions of mainly being rich. She's quite smart, but not as smart as me ;). Shes funny quirky and cool unlike most individuals i see from where i live which is in korea. I meet korean guys girls american europeans here and they aint cool. Funny thing, however, she is totally for the ideals of communism. I continuously shit on China and she laughs it off like my capitalist ideals are a bunch for losers Lol. Like, its funny how she doesnt react to me shitting on China, but she just gives shit on America and Korea for not being like China. She then says China is the greatest country in the world. She tries to laugh it off like a joke but then proceeds to say to me that she does seriously believe China is the best. When i then shit on chairman Mao, she then (very unreactively) responds how i could think of Chairman Mao as such an evil person. Then i told her she is brainwashed. She laughs again. (At this point her laughter startles me because i expect chinese people to be defensive and reactive. I wonder if the propoganda has become so deep that it had become an identity!) Like me being reactive and being angry at how the chinese gov treats its people, but she treats me like im a little kid and tries to comfort me.
  4. @DreamScape i bet if you were about to get raped, you would be the first one to pray for a police to come help you, or not? Idk. Maybe you just expect a passer-by Joe to save you from the rapist who also has a gun and a knife in his bag to kill anybody trying to oppose him
  5. I have a good strategy to deal with those psychos. Anybody with extreme war skills like General Patton or Sun Tzu may handle them. Even with armies and a lot of power is permitted. Isolate the victims (the psychos) and hope to teach them while having them do no harm to the teacher that's reforming them. The only caveat here is the person in power has to have an enlightened outlook. It won't be weak psychologists and teachers that will be helping those psychos. I don't think it would take so much effort for the universe to borne out a person that can be so proficient in war and be totally enlightened at the same time. If he who posses those qualities, he can control the psycho and at the same time help him. It's takes just one person to love strategy and war and takes seriously his personal development. After all, a criminal is just a war crazed individual gone the wrong way.
  6. I'm just curious to know how you people deal with others. Many assumptions people can make about ENTJs We have no problem getting toxic people out of our lives We don't mind being the bad guy to do the right thing We have a tendency to want to dominate in groups Many label ENTJs as heartless, but in reality they don't know what really motivates us underneath. It's not generally something "evil" as they like to think. Most people like to put us in leadership positions We are not too detail oriented. We like to deal with the big picture rather Anyways, how are you people.
  7. I have this issue recently where I cannot trust anybody. I am big on being collaborative and not being too negative with life but my incessant doubts about how the world is makes me negative and angry. And this negativity translates onto my friends and family. What is trust? I've read a book on trust by OSHO but it did not transform me ultimately. I've only got one advice from the book: "Trust yourself first." What else can I do? I just cannot see what trust can do for my life. What good can trust do but get me betrayed? What good can trust do but make me naive?
  8. @WelcometoReality I agree. How can I love another if there is no trust. After all, love is the highest value I hold for myself. My parents were not trusting people, especially my father. I hate being the constant doubter. Ah! It's so ugly! I remember a high school friend who doubted everything and it was just plain ugly. He was delusional and ugly with his doubts. My father is the same, but he was good at framing his doubts with beautiful packaging. Obviously, I have seen the glimmer of light through the end of this tunnel of doubts, so I ask for advice from anyone who did not necessarily have problems with trust in their life. I for instance never had a problem with money and making friends. Now, I need help from people who never had a problem with trust and being able to see through bullshit. haha I don't know why when you speak, I suddenly find myself emotionally deconstructing LOL
  9. @JosephKnecht awesome shit
  10. Yes, I won't object to even murder. For the sake of self-defense, one does not want to murder the raging maniac, but if he won't stop trying to kill more innocent people, there is no shame in making the choice of killing him to stop him. But I don't think completely giving up on such people is the right mentality to have. Yes, it does simply cost too many resources. But if we don't have that as our ideal, who will? Will they create a world without such atrocities? We have to be the one initiating the goal of reforming everyone: no one gets left behind; or else, we have no hope of creating an enlightened world. In terms of military strategy, Sun Tzu loved to say "The best strategy is to have the least amount of deaths with our troops and with the enemy and win the battle." He wanted to unite China, where there were 8-9 factions waging wars and forming allies with their cunning. So to deplete not only Sun Tzu's troops but to deplete also the faction's troops he is about to wage war on was a problem for his country. In other words, Sun Tzu's ultimate goal, purpose, and drive was to win wars without depleting his own and the enemy's troops. He wasn't saying this quote "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting" out of humanitarianism. He was saying this out of cunning and calculation to win wars against enemy factions. However, Sun Tzu was waging war on China, but we, here, are waging war on devilry, am I not correct? In the same way, we cannot lose the sight of our ultimate purpose, goal, and strategy. If we give up on reforming them, nobody will. And the purpose, you all already know: it is to create a world without conscious people.
  11. I recently watched RSD Papa talking about the book "mastery", how he was inspired by the value of the book. Funny, he was the one who made me think the book "seven habits of highly effective people" was a great book, which it is, but I never knew he was into unpopular books like Mastery.
  12. A quote from Chuang Tzu.... wow! Forgive my translation of the Chinese piece. "The knower does not know how to speak. The one who speaks does not know. Therefore, the sage tries to teach without speech. The way is not something that we can give, and goodness is not something that comes from the outside. An act of benevolence is something all too human. Loyalty is something of destruction. Righteousness is something similar to destruction. Manners are for fakers. In other words, only when you have destroyed your way to the Tao have you finally added yourself the values of benevolence, then comes loyalty, and then righteousness, and manners. Rites, rituals, and mannerisms are simply a caricature of the men and women of the way, however! They are the beginners of confusion. A real man of the way simply subtracts. Everyday and night he discards and discards until he finds himself accomplished in having the state of "no intentions", the "no way". Everything is one. Consider that people think of beautiful things as special, while ugly things as filled with stench. But can't you see that which stinks will soon become special, while the special will decay and stink. In conclusion, there is a saying 'the whole realm is nothing but a giant ball of energy', and like this, the sage thinks in the way.
  13. sure. just getting them out of your life is the way to love them. As the saying goes, don't pick the flower, just leave it if you love it and want to watch it grow. So, leaving them as they are is a loving act. Leave. Now, the real question is why are you not able to leave? Why are you asking this question in the first place? If you were able to leave right away, you would leave not ask us a question. There must be a certain attachment you have with that person you deem toxic. Any attachment is toxicity. You attachment - your toxicity - has attracted that toxic person in your life, so it created a dependent relationship where both of you are begging from each other. I say this because I have this problem to with somebody, my father. He liked to threaten me by beating me up in the early stages. Why of course, being scared of being beaten is also an attachment. Although most people wouldn't judge me for having this fear, let's call it like it is that it is indeed an attachment and I would have greatly improved my life if I hadn't had this fear. So what is this for you? What are your attachments? Even if most people wouldn't judge you for having such attachments but still, you will have to be meticulous about yourself and be honest despite people's coddling of your pain points. When you find these attachments, however small or insignificant to society's eyes, you will find they have hurt you immensely. Discard that attachment, then you won't be attached to that toxic friend or family. Leave them and let them follow you or the high way. Leaving them is also a role of a true leader. True leaders go for what is right no matter the circumstances.
  14. I would say studying epistemology would help in destroying stupid beliefs too
  15. You can't just think it out to destroy it. Action has to come with the thinking. Thinking without action is the most dumbest shit anyone could do. Mind body is one. If you have changed your mind, it means your body will have changed. If you can proactively change your mind, you can proactively change your body. It ain't gonna just naturally come. The body is harder to change. Mind is easier to change. The body is thicker with karma than the mind. A lot of habits stored from your childhood and from your ancestors. And these habits have been built for centuries, that is why it is thick with karma than your mind. Because mind is created only after you are about 3 years old. So to combat your mind beliefs is easy. The harder thing to combat is the beliefs you hold inside the cells of your body. You can only do that by action. Acting on what is right and just opposed to fear or limiting beliefs. Acting on pure mind, rather than the cluttered mind. You see what i mean? It's not enough to have a pure mind, you need to purify the body. We can see this purification of the body happen with athletes. They have to battle not only with the memories and beliefs their mind holds, but they have to battle with the memories their body holds. This is crucial. When an athlete lived his whole life rigidly and with a lot of limiting beliefs, his whole athleticism will be rigid. You can see Jeremy Lin play basketball. Jeremy Lin comes from both Christianity and Asian backgrounds. He's athletic like an OG, but his past life destroys his play. He's good at the game, but his mind is his greatest enemy, whereas many black athletes, though they may have the same athleticism with Jeremy Lin or even worse, their mind is freer and more confident, so they perform better. How to purify the body? .... Taking right action. What is right action? Well.... that will depend on one's circumstances, but one thing is for sure. You body mind will scream with horror if you take right action.
  16. Nothing more to be said. I crave for attention. It has become a crutch, an attachment. Anyone cured this? I've wrote about this many times saying I have loneliness. Anyways anyone cured this by themselves? Can you help me
  17. i have this problem. But I pride myself at least knowing I have a problem. What am I to say in this situation? Say I hope I will solve this? Whatever I say....
  18. My friend commented that I live in a big house alone, with great logistics just living next to a club 10 minute walk. But, I don't have any money. I'm going to live in this big house one more year. (explaining why this is, it is hard to explain. In terms of money, I'm thinking of having 2-3 roommates to pay me) What are the keys to mastering logistical issues when closing with hot women.
  19. He's a philosopher. Simple minded fools may think he's reaching, but no. This man has experience. He has experience on failure and success. He understands it. He's not just speaking out of his head, he's speaking out of his bones. An aggressive robustness exists in many of his philosophies. Honestly, when you listen to Kobe, you cannot deny his philosophy is similar to Nietzsche. He may sound arrogant and self absorbed for simply going all out to actualize his own meaning, not others, but that is the whole point of the ubermench. Ubermench is defined to be one who learns about the world to the most extremes and actualizes his own meaning in the world. And a true ubermench will help others to be unique and different. He creates meaning for himself, and advises others to do the same, whichever it is. It can be playing basketball or being a good mother. It does not matter. A will to power. But in such intense drive, he is bound to experience the Zen of life. His aggression and robustness is derived from him playing basketball. It is like war. I would say chess players have a similar mindset. When you are in a perpetual state of war, you are bound to find Zen even in war. This is what Sun Tzu loved to emphasize in his book Art of War. He used to describe an outstanding general's troops as musical strings. There may be an extreme amount of order and strictness like the strings attached to the guitar, but just with those 4 strings it can create limitless amount of music. In chaos of war, he understands the importance of creativity in order. The first part of the video demonstrates whatever I said about him.
  20. @Godhead doing that did not help, that is why im asking
  21. @Roy i am living outside of that environment. Im still reliant on them financially. I constantly shame myself for not being financially independent, but i realize this guilt is totally unwise of me to have. Since i am financially dependent as a 22 year old... its hard. I read a lot a lot of self help, biographies of successful people, read philosophy, marketing, and business, persuasion. Its hard. The process is slow indeed. I already havent been living with my father since the age of 16. Lived with him briefly at 18 years old and got away because i just didnt like him that much. From the age of 1 to 15, my brother raised me. When my brother went to college, my father was trying to father me, and i never got to like his violence. Yes, my plan of being independent had existed since the age of 15, but its so slow... i wanna cry sometimes. Meditation always makes me feel at ease and loved by the universe. However so it might sound weird.... it works. Pray for me i can do something of value on the outside world. A business, a project whatever it is. Would be cool if anyone vouched for me in their thoughts,
  22. Nice Job Leo. Get a refund when you need it. Don't be afraid of being red. I want to share my RED story. My father was an alcoholic and beat me when I was in middle school high school. I'm 22 now and he tried to beat me again when he was drinking, again. I told him let's talk it out to the end until my mother held me down and my father used that to his advantage to grab my hair and hit my face once. While he grabbed my hair and said, "That's the right spot. Hold him right there so I can beat him." I kind of changed my state of consciousness after he said those words. I consciously grabbed his hair. And beat him to death for what he did and said. He hit me once. I hit him countless, I don't remember ... too many times. It was two on one. My mom holding me down, while my father kept pursuing me to fight me. fought in the garden, balcony, and the living room. My father was keep getting beaten and his face was puffed up and I got hit once. I got only scratches on my arms from my arm, but my father had no chance. I was doing rope-a-dopes running from my mother and my father trying to hit me both, but I had the skill to beat him by hopping around. He had his face puffed up, bleeding, but he kept coming at me. I didn't get hit at all after he tried to grab my hair. I just decided to avoid the situation because my father was persistent in fighting me even though he was being beaten badly by me. My mother gave me 40 dollars to just go away. He beat a child, a middle schooler, and a high schooler. In some way, he deserved to be beaten by me, even though I never intentionally tried to beat him. Even though I was beating him out of self-defence, it felt like the universe was forcing me to teach him something, to give him a taste of his own medicine. I choicelessly complied. huh... living in Korea, 80% of Koreans think I have done the wrong even though they did empathize with me, while my American friends told me living here told me I was totally in the right. Koreans would tell me, "he's your father!" They could not listen to the causes. They just hear "patricide!" Confucian values are so toxic that they make parents like a God, make your ancestors like a God, just like Jesus has become God in Christianity, and Muhammad has become a God in Islam. If the west has built social structures to God ideals, here in Korea has built social structures to ancestry and parent son piety ideals. Both are destructive and I am happy there are still people who empathized with me. I just only hope God appreciates how I did not intentionally try to beat my father. I even wept in my then ex-girlfriend's arms after the incident. I really did not want to fight my father. He was coming at me to beat me. I have martial arts training because I hope to work in the police after I graduate college, so I wasn't scared of him. I just didn't want to fight him, but his wussy alcoholic mind couldn't control himself. His mind was stunted in growth. My American friend told me, "You must have felt betrayed by your father for him to say that when he grabbed your hair." My former high school Korean teacher (a very good friend of mine still) told me, "Well, although I don't condone what you did, Charlie, your father did pull a wussy move on you." Yes, I admit, I'm not above anybody else. I wish I was enlightened throughout the incident, but my feeling of betrayal might have made me beat my father more than I needed to to avoid him trying to beat me. But would that have been the right move? If it were OSHO or Krishnamurti commenting on this incident, I don't think they would have objected what I had done at all. Rather, I think they would have been delighted. But guilt runs through me for no reason. Shame runs through me. This mental programming I got since I was a child is toxic. Will I ever get out of this? I don't know. Let's hope for fortune. How did the fight start? If you wanna know, ask down the comments
  23. @VeganAwake maybe.... hope that is the case. By being with my loneliness and not running away from it for the very first time, I've learnt much about myself..... and learning more...
