TL:DR This stuff is deeper than the Mariana Trench. Let's scratch the surface. A musing on Plato's cave and understanding of self. And more than that, bringing out this SELF, the god within. Walking your own path towards YOU. Aligning the BODY, MIND and SOUL.

 

Dear readers. Hello, I've been around here since the conception of this sub. Many of you may not know this, but there was a sister sub called The Blue Pill. Ahh, good ol' we need a nemesis so we'll make one, those were the days... I just happen to be in a mood to share a view. Enjoy.

 

Aight, so on to the topic. TRINITY. The often neglected charachter in the Matrix. Coincidences aside, this ain't about her. It's about you.

 

Have you ever wondered what the fck you are? What are you here for? Here on TRP we have a recent up-draft of two things (besides your regular FR and venting).

 

1.) LIFT. Or as it will be refered to, THE BODY. (THE FATHER) (this is so crucial it can be considered retard-proof)

 

Pretty straightforward here. Very easy to understand how to improve. Level of complexity is 1/10. Squat, and you're half-way there.

The other aspect is nutrition & proper sleep. Spend some time getting to know the golden standard. It's worth every minute you're researching.

 

..And VOILA! Following the simple rules of LIFT, EAT, SLEEP you will have a great body. (incidentally, it spills over into the next stage, the MIND)

 

2.) FRAME. Or as it will be refered to, THE MIND. (THE SON)

 

Trickier, we are getting into the world where reading is just a bit better than bullshit, however, we all know bullshit is a great fertilizer. This is the half realm, where the best option is to read & try, evaluate (does it work?) and repeat or move on. EXPERIENCE IS KING. This is the ''squat'' of the mind. Experience. To progress we need to talk to the 10 or to a big crowd, we need to experience a fail in business or a challenge in life, LEARN from it and move the fck on.

 

It gets trickier, what you do overall, you don't even know and hence, I believe 99% of people are looping out of perfect control in this stage (not counting BODY stage). If you could tell me how much time you spent (wasted) on reddit or other sites, twitter, ...fck it you'd probably wouldn't be reading this, you'd be doing YOU and enjoying the fck out of it.

 

We are what we do & consume, hence things like a Commonplace Journal is the ALPHA and OMEGA of a strategist. Why? Because you'll start to analyze what you do day to day. Weekly analysis, monthly and so forth...it's crucial to make positive habits and up-root bad ones. Work towards being better with a plan.

 

''Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.'' ~ Aristotle

 

'' Study the art of science. Study the science of art. Develop your senses – especially Learn How To See. Realize that Everything Connects To Everything Else. '' ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

 

Science the shit out of your life. Bit by bit you'll make it an art. Great sleep, start taking walks to reflect, get that perfect posture, commandeering focus (meditation).... your greatest journey, life, will get FCKING AMAZING.

 

What do you need to do then? EXIT. Exit from all the bullshit around you. We are constantly surrounded by pollution (of the mind). Start giving time to yourself, by removing anything, ANYTHING that doesn't add value. Start easy, keep up-rooting.

 

QUICK INFO ~ MIND POLLUTION: Anything falls into this. Be vigilant. Something like MUSIC with a repetitive message (if negative) is pollution. Best way to get into the 1st stage of control is to listen to purely instrumental. Fck words, listen to melodies. Because you know best, POP is SHIT. The music is littered with Blue-Pill / Consume this / be lazy messages. Trance and subliminal messaging is a post in and of itself, another time.

 

Things with low (or worse, negative value), i.e.: - Drinking more than 1 beer (atleast drink whiskey, 1 max) anywhere, keep yourself SHARP. Water is success. - Browsing internet without a goal - Not walking away from the PC when you have nothing to do (hard one) - Staying comfortable for too long - Eating out (know how to cook for yourself, proper nutrition) - Improper sleep hygene (1hr+ before sleep without bright screens)

...this goes on and on...

 

We all know that quitting cold turkey is hard, what we can do is chip-away at it. Internet hygene is something ALL of us should have been taught. No worries, you can do it now. Slow & steady you'll get there.

 

Web-browser? Try the addon LeechBlock. Set times, remove any bad sites (especially news sites), start limiting your consumption. THIS IS CRUCIAL. It takes some time, you will see how amazingly good it will feel to say NO to some mindless impulses. This is STOICISM.

 

Facebook? Quit that shit. DELETE it. What happens is you start connecting with your surroundings and people on a real level. Fuck text, go out, talk.

 

Games? Delete them, or if you cant, set 1 day per week when you allow yourself to play as much as you want. The 6 days without, dedicate them to yourself, to explore, learn, to grow.

 

Make a Commonplace Journal. For beginners I support physical writing since it's not linked to a computer, meaning your mind engages with it and there is 0 possible distractions that can come out of a paper notebook. Yeah, you gonna start impulsively drawing? Right, go ahead, it's 100x better than mindless internet browsing. Try using a Bullet Journal. (youtube 1st hit search)

 

Alternatively, if you're already accustomed you can try a digital form of journaling (IFTTT.com + Evernote combo's).

 

Start using RESCUE TIME. Bit by bit, one analysis after another, you'll improve.

 

3.) AWARENESS. The Supreme Commander. The Soul. The Holy Spirit. You.

 

To elaborate on this stage is hard. I believe a wholesome person is able to do this. One that has all 3 aspects covered to a point of inner freedom and radiating ...being. I believe once the FATHER (Body), the SON (Mind) are in unison, the spark, call it creativity, radiance, joy, starts to shine. Balance is power. Start achieving it through your senses and the mind. We are all here to do our job, align yourself and do yours.

 

This concludes the TRINITY. The father (body), the son (mind) and the holy spirit (awareness).

 

I'm having a kick out of connecting the dots my own way. Clean your body and mind, and start doing it yourself.

 

Addendum: not religious, every religion has a golden nugget.
