“ If you wish to understand the Universe think of energy, frequency, and vibration. “ Nicola Tesla.
Listening to others’ feedback is a crucial thing for progress, as is not caring about their opinions.
Each strategy has a place and a time.
And that’s what we’re going to discuss today.
If you’ve read yesterday’s recommended book, then you’d understand that reality is mental.
Meaning, that as long as you and I were human, we’ll ascribe and project qualities on things that don’t inherently have them.
As we see faces where there aren’t any, we pretend like Universal Justice ™ exists, and assume that other people are lying about something because that’s what we would do if we were in their shoes.
We see outside of us what we think of, which is just about the same as what we are. Hence why people with mental disorders struggle with simple tasks.
Someone with an obsessive OCD will imagine the whole world a new in terms of their obsessive thoughts, and that makes the universe a dismal place.
Our mental models are us, and we are our universe.
That’s why one should be selective about what beliefs they allow into their head.
Believe a person is more likely to lose than to win? Your brain will attract losing opportunities to confirm its belief.
Believe you’ll get your ass kicked as the price of learning? Your brain will make sure it happens to validate itself.
As such, my target is to rid myself of all net negative mental models.
No matter what positive results it may bring me, if I perceive its overall positive return to be less than the effort, I’ll ditch it.
Let’s think of it this way. I’m sure all of you know from physics classes that all forms of energy are based on movement, and vibration.
Heat, kinetic, potential, and radiant energy are all based on the movement/vibration of molecules.
We agree on that? Cool.
What I, and many of my great predecessors say is, we are inherently the same.
When our neurons/atoms/bodies/brains/soul vibrate a certain way, a thought emerges, and vice versa.
Hence why stillness is closely linked to meditation and silencing the mind. It’s true.
When your being isn’t moving at all, you won’t have any thoughts, and this is what many want. This is enlightenment.
However, I don’t care for that. I tried it, and it’s not for me.
What I want, instead, is to be able to think whatever I want, whenever I want.
Which means, I want my body to vibrate the way I want it, thus, I need to get rid of useless vibration models.
For a wave to lose its vibration in the perfect void, it’s impossible.
(Yes, just like photons, we behave both like waves and particles, and someone will prove this one day, but we care for results, not proof at the moment).
Thankfully, we’re not in the void; we can lose and gain vibrations!
However, just like waves, for us to lose our thoughts/vibrations, we need to collide with other objects capable of taking the vibration from us.
It could be another person, an animal, inanimate objects, water. The possibilities are endless, but offloading unnecessary vibrations to other is the easiest method for doing it.
People will be happy to take away your good vibrations, but your destructive ones? Not so much.
Really, we don’t care where those vibrations end up, or for some person to take our suffering instead of us. We want to get rid of them one way or the other.
Too bad, the world won’t be too happy about it. It’s the reason why people don’t want to see you change, even for the better, no matter how much they claim that they want the best for you.
It’s an instinctual reaction, for when you attempt to change, your previous vibrations are leaving you, and colliding with whatever they find on their way.
In the end, you’ll find that some people are naturally better than others at keeping the good vibrations and offloading the bad ones, so, you’ll find that change is hard and that the status quo is the way it is for a reason.
If you could’ve naturally acquired good vibrations growing up, you would’ve. It’s just the fact that the competition is fierce, and for winners to exist, there has to losers. Duality needs duality as a matter of fact.
So, what ends up happening is, either you go back to being the dysfunctional person that you are, because those are the belief systems/vibrations you can get with your inherent qualities, or, you can just cheat.
And how do we cheat? Using the greatest weapon that ever exists, our brain of course!
The universe is just like our nervous system, or more precisely, the nervous system is the micro of the universe that is the macro. It’s our only portal to actually dealing with the real reality, not the manufactured pessimistic/optimistic one, and it’s our only tool for influencing it.
We’ll make our brains believe that we have a way of only allowing the good vibrations in, and rejecting the bad vibrations. We’ll split our existence; the useful parts remain and welcome any new positive additions, and the negative parts are offloaded to find somewhere else to propagate.
Thoughts are like viruses, they will find new hosts or die trying.
As long as your brain firmly believes you have a tight way of ensuring you mental hygiene, things will go your way far easier.
To do that, we’ll do something that’s called a RESET.
Others call it the banishing ritual, while others call it the self prayer, or the frame maintenance. It has many names, but its purpose is the same.
You’re using the universe (a micro version albeit) to help you acquire the belief systems you want to.
It has three steps to it.
First, affirm your central position in the scheme of things.
Second, separate yourself and the others with a barrier. (In reality, you and I and everyone else are the same thing, aspects of the universe, but we want to be more effective aspects instead, out of selfishness of course hahaha)
Third, welcome the positive emotions and reject the negative emotions.
And Voila, you committed heresy and you’ll never see heaven haha! Just kidding, you just changed your fate, bro.
If you’re a Christian, try the LBRP. (Lesser Banishing Ritual of The Pentagram)
Else, make up something that suits your personal flavor using the formula I gave above. You can use the LBRP as a baseline and improve upon it.
Many people do a similar variation to this, some unknowingly, while others know what they’re doing.
Your co worker who gives himself a pep talk in the bathroom about being the best motherfucker that ever lived, then disses everyone else, before slapping himself in the face and letting out a deep breath? He just did a banishing ritual, although not a perfect one but useful enough for his purpose.
In any case, I’ve doing at least one banishing ritual a day for a while, and starting today, I’ll do two a day, and we’ll see the results together.
Today’s recommended reading: Psycho-cybernetics.
Day 2’s blurb:
I started studying almost miraculously, I’m still four weeks behind, and only two weeks left, so we’ll see how that goes. I still get urges to read manga and doom scroll, but progress is progress, I still see myself as a not so successful person, but today I can see the hope in my studies. Before I used to see them as a dead end, but now, I can see opportunities that I think are worthwhile, or even lucrative. Life’s getting better, but the responsibilities seem too much to me at times.
