Chapter 1. Your Life is Your True Nature or
Soul
All
This Career Soul-Searching is Bullshit for Most People Because They’re Mundane
by Nature
Discover yourself then
figure out a way to earn money from that.
The big question is do
you really care what you do as long as the money is good.
When I was in Grade
nine, hangin’ out with my friends at the school yard at night drinking cheap
wine, smoking cigarettes and dope, I started to realize that not one of them
was like me. I’m the only guy as far as
I knew who took a bus down to the shopping center to buy a set of weights
because I wanted to lift weights.
I’m the only kid as far
as I knew who wanted to do a long bike ride so one Sunday afternoon, I started
driving around the Bedford Highway and I did the 35-mile loop then I kept doing
it.
If you’re naturally
inspired, you feel it, you know it.
I stopped socializing
years ago because I realized straight-on, everyone is a bullshitter. Everybody says how great and adventurous they
are but the vast majority of people are mundane wimps who want to work any job
to make money so they can go home to get high and eat junk food in comfort. That’s it.
A job is no big
deal. I picked teaching when I was young
but it was bullshit. I didn’t believe
what I was teaching (psychology) and I had to stick with the curriculum
anyway. It was boring to me.
All jobs are boring to
me which is why I created my own.
Most people don’t give
a crap what they do as long as they make decent money so don’t take this career
choice thing too hard.
Life goes on and
on. If you’re true to yourself, you will
eventually gravitate to your true self.
Do what you feel is
natural.
Suppose you were free
day-after-day.
After a month of
watching late-night TV, getting high then sleeping all day, would you
eventually start getting up to do something because you want to feel some kind
of self-respect or just feel good?
When you feel that,
that’s your natural purpose.
Don’t listen to tests,
your father or the guidance counselor, listen to what you feel away from the
brainwash of the world.
I wanted to work out,
get high then do some creative stuff to occupy my mind. I didn’t want to work at a gym or be a phys,
ed. teacher so I started writing books to pay for my free time to do the stuff
I liked to do. It’s no big deal because
I’m resting at night anyway. TV is
nothing to me. I can’t stand watching
most fiction so I spend my time exercising my mind.
For you as the lost
soul I presume you are, the only thing I can say is what do you gravitate to if
you have a block of free time like a month.
After getting high and sleeping in for a week, then what? Is there something you want to get out of bed
to do?
If there isn’t, you’re
a typical mundane person. Get any
job. It won’t matter. Go for the money.
If something really
interests you enough to get out of bed for, look for a way to make money in
that field.
The
Real World for Young People
At the center of your
being, you have the answer; you know who you are
and you know what you
want.
Lao Tzu
Knowing yourself is the
beginning of all wisdom.
Aristotle
And you? When will you
begin that long journey into yourself?
Rumi
When I discover who I am,
I’ll be free.
Ralph Ellison
There are three things
extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.
Benjamin Franklin
No matter how idealistic, beautiful, cool or
cute your life is right now living in your parents’ home, going to that phony liberal
fantasyland called school, watching those fantasyland shows on TV, playing
those fantasy video games and doing all that frivolous stuff with intimate
strangers and fake friends online, it’s just you as a loner soul in life.
You probably were not born with a silver
spoon in your mouth like the royal families of the world so your life will soon
be the constant matter of earning enough money to pay for a roof over your
head, utility bills, foods, clothes, entertainment, transportation and any
superficial things you might want beyond that like junk food, recreational
drugs, booze, porn, fashion, video games, an ATV, a boat, make-up, etc.
The bottom line in the capitalist matrix is
to earn enough money to at least survive but hopefully thrive and make all the
money you want to live out your greatest fantasies, hopes and dreams, look good
and get all the love and sex you want on the side.
All young people in our Western capitalist
matrix have been brainwashed to be successful according to monetary standards
not the real standards of your soul.
My version of success is to do pretty-well
exactly what I want all the time. I have
a small house and own my free time. I
can’t buy a yacht and do all the cocaine I might want but every single day, I
do exactly what I want. Nobody tells me
what to do.
The capitalist version of success is to:
make money
be a fashionable dandy/ bigshot in your
local area or even on TV in the gossip news, get caught up in owning big cars,
big houses, big boats, etc.
achieve status in the community
be respected by peers in whatever field you
choose.
Youth is generally referred to as the ages
between eighteen to 24. Young adult is
24 to 35.
This is what I think is important for young
people or anybody at any age for that matter:
enlightenment, discovering your true nature
getting a trade, profession or college
education
knowing how to look for a good job
starting a business if you want
learning about money
the search for love and a mate
sex, as distinct from love, the natural
urge, I cover this mostly in other books
fun, entertainment, mundane hedonism like
traveling around
Young people have the same issues and
problems older people have but they’re more passionate and intense for a number
of reasons like:
insecurity
a need to prove one’s self
fear of life
massive indoctrination
naïve exuberance
The greatest shortcomings young people have
are:
no experience in living on one’s own
therefore no wisdom about the real world
sense of entitlement if you were brought up
living a comfortable life, not in poverty
no scope on the routine misery, problems,
poverty and homelessness rampant within the human race
extreme sense of self-centeredness
a naïve sense that the way life is presented
in the media and in school is the way things are which is not true because
everything is corrupt and evil under the façade of bland niceness and good
intentions. The road to hell is paved
with good intentions. Everybody thinks
they’re good but we really tend more towards selfish to evil than goodness.
Many young people think that so-called
celebrities are advanced people with superior intellect and creative talents
not ordinary people manufactured to be stars in order to sell product.
I saw a sit-com with a sarcastic punk as the
star working a minimum-wage job living in a big apartment with a huge loft,
nice clothes, gadgets, etc. never seeming to worry about money at all.
The mass media creates an unrealistic
picture of life to naïve young people who think that TV reality is roughly the
same as real life which is much harder.
You have to constantly pay bills otherwise you’ll be homeless or couch
surfing somewhere as an unwelcome guest.
No matter how good your “bros” or BFFs are,
everybody wears out their welcome after about three days.
People need their own privacy to poop n
peace, masturbate, be a slob, etc.
You are who you are regardless of your
gadgets, apps or social media.
You are a pure essence alone living in your
own head but the world has brainwashed most young people into thinking it’s
cool to be plugged in, to always be going on fb, twitter and instagram reading
and posting meaningless garbage that adds nothing to the quality of a great
life.
You want to be the person you dream of in
your fantasies.
You want love and intimacy, a deep
connection with a kindred spirit soulmate equal.
In order to become the person you want to
be, you need constant action to create yourself day after day which I won’t
discuss here much because I talked about it in the book A Free Spirit’s Search
for Enlightenment.
To live a full life, you have to know your
identity/ true nature and release that natural energy inside of you everyday.
If you want real love, you don’t go looking
for scraps of attention by posting frivolous junk online. You create yourself to be an independent,
strong, noble person who loves life.
Only if you’re like that do you develop a
way about yourself that attracts worthy people not needy, lonely people online
looking for something to fill up their sense of emptiness.
Most young people brought up in modern
Western societies suffer from extreme narcissism and a naïve, deluded sense of
entitlement because they were brought up in a fantasy bubble thinking life is
easy and fun.
Their parents paid for a nice life for
them.
They watched all those Disney family movies
on the Disney Networks and Nickelodeon TV where everybody has all the nice
things they want and everything always ends well.
They see the fantasy cute life on TV every
day where people are nice and friendly.
The teachers in school taught them a middle
class, liberal view of life where everything is fun, cute and clean, people are
nice, noble and middle-class sanitized.
The truth is that the human race is
disgustingly evil clothed in a façade of charm.
Go back to the second story in the
Bible. Cain kills his brother Abel
because he’s jealous and wants his stuff.
Winston Churchll, the fat old mess of a man,
really a pig, said one thing that made sense.
Most people start off liberal but if they’re not conservative by the
time they’re 50, they have led a stupid, sheltered life.
Most young people have a Pollyana view of
life with a naïve sense of idealism that can only be cured by dealing with
people in real life day after day for several years.
As a young man, I went into both the
education and nonprofit sectors expecting the people were working there because
they sincerely wanted to help people but I concluded that most are a bunch of
selfish phonies just like in any other field, looking for an easy life away
from the high-pressure of sales in a capitalist world.
They don’t teach you this anywhere. You learn it by watching how people
operate. I saw the alcoholics, the
overweight middle-aged managers hitting on the girls and the lazy CEOs earning
six-figure incomes in a supposedly helping job who were in these fields because
they’re easy jobs with no accountability unlike the business fields.
Young people like to think they’re
exceptionally special. They think
they’re original and have great ideas that the world is waiting for.
They think they will be great pioneers of
change but they don’t realize that the leaders already in positions of power
were young people once who had to bow down to their elders and work their asses
off for many years in order to get to their positions and now that they’re
there, they don’t want any shit from whipper-snapper young punks.
The unwritten rule in order to get ahead is
to do what you’re told and shut up until you prove yourself enough for your bosses
to give you greater responsibilities.
Many young people think college is the great
land of opportunites.
You just have to get a degree or two then
some good job is waiting for you with a good salary. The truth is that you create your own life through
what you do. Hopefully you earn a living
by doing what you like not what society says is cool and successful.
I wrote a book about college life and how
useless most degrees are especially in those big fake mind control fields
called the Social Sciences which is 100% bullshit because every human lives
alone in their own heads.
Everything else about life is what other
people created so it’s all bull next to your own unique feelings, drives and
desires.
As far as love goes, that’s another delusion
for many young people. By the time
they’re eighteen, the average teenager has watched 10,000 love stories and
movies on TV. Almost every show has at
least one love subplot. It’s all about
monogamous love but the truth is that all men are sexual dynamos by nature and
would prefer to have a harem of women at their beckon call in an ideal world
but they get brainwashed by the idea of love, fall for the hormonal passions
then three months to a year later don’t understand why the love has faded.
It’s about hormones. Most of us are too stupid to feel our true
selves purely so we go along with society’s indoctrinating ideas which includes
love with marriage, kids and family when the truth is that the average guy
wants to watch porn and shoot missiles off but you’re allowed to be a
sucker. Most people are so you’re in
good company with the other clones.
Society wants you to be a good working
family man or woman constantly paying bills and taxes, buying stuff. Is that who you really are? Is that happiness?
Pop culture is a vast machine geared to tell
young people what’s cool in order to control them and make money off them. It’s not cool. It’s just somebody else’s bullshit thrust on
stupid naïve young people.
Fashion, video games and action movies are all
silly nothingness next to a person’s own natural sense of lust, love and
inspiration.
There’s music and fun.
The only time in life that people are really
allowed to have fun and explore the world is when you’re young. If I, as an older man, want to go out and
explore the world on my own now, people would think I’m a weirdo because old
people don’t fit in anywhere like festivals, concerts, gyms, nightclubs,
hostels, parties, backpacking around the world, playing on a sports team, etc.
Youth is the only time when society lets
people party, go out and do things without frowning on them so I’m telling you
to do things now before you get caught up in that rat-race, hamster wheel of a
job, career, family, kids and bills because when you get there, you will see
that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be contrary to all the bullshit you see
everywhere about happy families.
Get real. You’ve been brainwashed since day
one. Try to discover who you really are
then have the guts to live by it but most people won’t because they’re too weak
even though virtually all young people think they’re exceptionally cool and
special. This is the folly of youth, the
delusions of grandeur. It’s good to
dream big but the hard part is the sweat equity day after day. Most people don’t have that kind of tenacity
unless they love what they do.
Do whatever you want as long as you follow
the laws and don’t hurt people, animals or the Earth.
The need to earn money to pay bills will
grind you down until your spirit is almost gone, replaced by a steady routine
mundane job.
You will take on an addiction to feel good
in order to replace the natural joy of life which is to do what you feel in
your soul. The most common addiction is
food followed by silly TV shows. This is
your destiny. Most people are not strong
enough to follow what they feel.
What’s Real in Life?
This chapter is not specifically about looking for a job or
a career but the existential problem of human existence is to find inner
meaning or purpose which is why I felt that if this book is to be the best job
book ever, I must get past all the official bull about tests, aptitudes,
counselors, career profile articles, etc. and simply tell you to take a look at
my life.
I was a 30 year old yuppie with a good teaching job, some
status, a mortgage on a house, a house full of furniture and a wardrobe of
clothes and it was like so what. This is
what I was brainwashed to buy into as the standard path to success but it meant
nothing to me.
Then I went through my bohemian phase and I realized that
it's not much fun being a starving artist either if you're always worrying
about being homeless.
My final conclusion for most people though not me because
I'm a desperado extremist by nature is even if you're not greatly in love with
a certain occupation, get a practical skill that's always in demand that's not
that hard to train for like one of the allied health professions then do that
while you explore your life trying to discover who you really are and what you
really want to do.
I went straight from yuppie to hippie. I was naïve.
I thought it would be easy to earn a living through my own creative
efforts but the world is tough in every field including the fine arts. It's full of ass lickin' bull just like in
any field.
It's not like everybody's working together as though in a
musical in trying to create a great work of art. It's more like everybody has got their own
creative ideas. Only the few people at
the top get to be creative and everybody else does what they're told.
If you want to bring your own creative ideas to light as in
making music, cartoons, movies, writing books, painting pictures, being an
actor, etc., there are a lot of other creatively inspired people out there who
have the same dream as you and are competing with you. You might need to attract an investor. Even if you do, you still have to compete in
the marketplace to sell your product and the marketplace for artsy products is
way overflooded.
If you have a creative idea for a business, you're still
stuck with all the tedious parts of running a business.
Most people don't want to live in the ghetto with a bunch of
desperados worrying about when you'll be on the street or when you'll get
robbed because of the area you live in.
It's not as romantic as the movies make it seem. Be real.
Live in the real world.
Keep one foot on the ground and one in the clouds. Follow your heart halfway and follow your
head halfway. If you follow your heart
only, there's a good chance you'll be a starving artist. If you follow your head, you'll have a secure
job but you won't be happy.
Except for the very few flukes who get what they want, life
must be a compromise. It's better to be
50% happy than to tend to one extreme and be miserable. Life is not as clean as it appears on TV with
everybody having clearcut roles.
There are lots of moonlighters, part-timers and people with
portfolio careers around. They have a
safe, steady day job to pay the bills then afterwards they pursue their real
passions as a secondary job, hoping that they can succeed enough such that the
secondary becomes the primary job.
That's as good as it gets.
Don't listen to all the hype about going for your
dreams. Most people's dreams are some
image they got from pop culture entertainment like being a pop star or a
professional athlete. Chances are it
ain't gonna happen. Live in the real
world.
Everybody likes to think they're free and enlightened but
everybody has been brainwashed just like I was until I was about 30. The best I can do to help you find yourself
is to tell you to read my book A Free Spirit's Search For Enlightenment.
The bottom line is that you have to know who you are in your
true nature then release that inspired energy everyday in a way that earns you
your living. That's all you have to do,
align your true nature with the means to earn a living.
It's kinda like this is what I really, really love to
do. How do I earn a living from it?
A Free Spirit’s Search for Enlightenment Leads to the Only Thing
that Really Matters
We are
spirits in human bodies. We will live on
after our bodies die in a spirit world of love where we are our true natures
but in this world we’re assaulted by the need to survive, earn a living and be
around other people, often taking on their thoughts and ideas as our own even
though they’re not. This causes inner
disharmony and turns most of us into mean, selfish to evil, ugly, competitive
people out for ourselves while pretending to be nice and good.
A
person of integrity who lives by their true nature tries to do what’s right and
good from what they feel within themselves both for their own benefit and to
help the world.
Most
people are indoctrinated and so afraid of life that they take on the artificial
values of the world, often without realizing they’re brainwashed and not
following who they really are by nature.
This causes self-betrayal and inner disharmony day by day, if you don’t
release this natural inspired energy within yourself but rather either release
artificial energy by following the values of the world or do not do much of
anything but absorb pop culture entertainment and material goods which a lot of
people do.
Whatever
you were naturally drawn to and doing at five years old is probably who you
really are but then you got brainwashed by the world.
Enlightenment
is to firstly discover your true nature, this natural intuitive standard within
yourself of who you were born to be.
Honor
it day by day by releasing all the natural energy within yourself in these
areas without breaking any laws or doing anything evil:
inspired
sexual
loving
hedonistic
practical
Do
something from within your store of inspired energy for your own good and for
the good of the human race.
The
world is so brutal and competitive that it brainwashes just about everyone to
seek success in it. Myself personally, I
choose to live like a pauper for at least a year as a young man so I could have
the free time to do what I wanted with what I had as a poor man. Over time, I gravitated to the few things I
want to do naturally anyway. That’s my
nature, what naturally inspires me. I
don’t really care about much except for being who I was born to be by nature.
What
are you naturally curious about?
Discover
what you love to do. Figure out what the
world needs that you can do that uses up your natural abilities to earn a
living.
Don’t
listen too much to all the talking and noise out there. Follow the natural bliss and flow with
yourself.
Be who
you naturally are one day at a time.
You are
really your essence. Release that
natural energy everyday.
Get
some goals and work on them day by day.
Chances
are that you can’t do it alone. You have
to go out into the world and meet likeminded people so you can help each other
get what you want out of life.
Many
people can’t succeed on their own. It’s
much easier to watch TV and eat junk food.
You have to discover your true nature then decide that you were born to
release that energy everyday and that’s it.
That’s what you do because I earns you self-respect and well-being.

feel weak, join a motivational group through meetup.com.

Why I'm Free and Enlightened
How can I get beyond common, average indoctrinated values?
The path to the greatest life possible is to release the
natural energy you feel within yourself when you wake up every morning to meet
an inherent standard of who you feel you were born to be.
This is your true nature away from everything you've ever
been indoctrinated by but a lot of people don't feel it or know it because
they've been massively brainwashed by the society they live in.
The only two rules of life are:
1.) You have to earn a living to cover the basic practical
needs of life unless you're in jail, supported by someone or financially
secure.
2.) You can't interfere with other people's lives or
otherwise break rules that will get you thrown into either jail or the
nuthouse.
Beyond these rules, most people want to get love and give
love which is all fine and good but everybody lives alone in their head most of
the time so you must find happiness within yourself otherwise all the love in
the world directed at you won't help you much.
The only people who go through life feeling happy and strong
virtually all the time are the ones who know that all they are and all they own
is the pure free spirit within themselves.
They must honor it everyday by releasing the natural energy
in their free spirits. If any person
does not release this natural energy, over time, they will lose a hold of
whatever power, youthful spark and inspiration they may have started out
with. They will start to feel mundane
then degenerate into an average flatline life where they will be ruled by
society's institutions and the mass media.
You can't lose your free spirit. This purity that is you is always there
inside of you. It's your inherent
archetype but if you don't exercise it and allow yourself to get indoctrinated
by artificial values not natural to you, your free spirit gets covered over by
all this stuff and gets weak, flabby, mundane, tired and depressed.
I started out like any well-intentioned kid in grade
school. I wanted to succeed within the
system so I went to college and became a teacher whereupon I tried to live a
yuppie lifestyle which is all about working a so-called professional job,
buying material things I didn't need in order to match some illusion of a cool,
successful lifestyle I got from the mass media and pop culture
entertainment.
My life became a routine, working everyday, trying to move
up the career ladder, making money so I could buy more material things I didn't
need and upgrade my house and car every few years.
After about a decade of this, I was about as empty as I had
ever been in my life. I knew I couldn't
go on doing this because it would mean a spiritual death and a wasted life for
me. At the time, I didn't really
understand what was happening to me, I just knew I was dying inside.
I quit my job, went out into the world seeking
enlightenment, excitement, adventure and fun.
I did the proverbial Hero's Journey that Joseph Campbell talked about in
his writings about the myths of the world.
Myths in general are allegories about people leaving their homes to seek
fame, fortune and adventure.
They fight dragons and otherwise get cut to pieces by the
evil and adversity out in the world then like the phoenix rising from the
ashes, they slowly get back up and regenerate, a little wiser, more cynical,
bruised and stronger than before.
The thing is that all throughout these myths of humanity,
it's not really about the adventures and stories about the hero in the outside
world.
That's just the setting or the stage through which an
individual discovers the true meaning of life which is to discover their true
identity, who they really are, then live by it.
That's what life comes down to. Who were you born to be by nature? Who are you in the midst of all the
archetypes and possibilities out in the world?
The individual must see enough evil to know the world is
nowhere near the naïve, idealistic, rosy visions he was brought up to believe
in. The Hero's Journey is not about
going to college or being an exchange student sheltered on a college campus
anywhere. You have to go out and see how
people really live including the poor, the exploited, the desperate, the crazy,
the wealthy, the elitists, the arrogant, the powerful and the criminal element.
Once you know the world is more Machiavallean than Pollyanna
and you know that every organization, institution and human being has the
potential for evil often in the name of good, you don't have any utopian vision
left anymore so you're free to pursue the only thing you know for sure in this
life which is the purity you feel within yourself.
If you want to be an enlightened free spirit, you must not
have allegiance to anything other than the spirit you feel with yourself. If there's a God, this is what He gave
you. All institutions, organizations,
religions, psychobabble and New Age ideas were created by man therefore they're
fallible and cannot reach any higher in understanding the human condition than
any individual can on his own.
I traveled and met a lot of people until I realized that
planet Earth is the same everywhere geographically meaning that the sky is
blue, the sun rises everyday, trees are green and the earth is brown so
traveling lost its luster for me then I realized that people are the same
everywhere. Most are a gray mixture of
good and bad, they want to be happy and most have been brainwashed by
capitalism.
Human nature is fundamentally self-centered. If we were really as good as we like to think
we are, we would share what we have and all the world's domestic problems would
be solved but instead we live in a cutthroat world where people rob, plunder,
exploit, kill each other for a few dollars then try to build big houses with
lots of security so they can hoard their wealth in peace. That's what's going on out into the world
that no classroom can teach you.
I didn't live like monks and New Age cults do in some
communal-type setting but I did live alone with no job to answer to and enough
money such that I didn't have to work for several years as long as I was frugal
about it.
It was then that I made my big discovery about the human
condition. All my life I had been
massively brainwashed to try to achieve success in the capitalist world so I
could make lots of money and some people within my community would recognize me
as a very important person, a VIP with some status.
I was born with a certain pure essence as an individual that
had been covered over by the ideals of capitalism, religion and patriotism
since I started watching TV and going to church at three years old. It came out partially in some of the
interests of my youth but I didn't realize what my true nature was until I was
totally free to do anything I wanted to do.
Day after day I found myself doing the same few things over
and over again. These are what I call my
inspired pursuits. They're mostly
physical activities and creative-intellectual pursuits. After this, I have some sensual-hedonistic
desires like any normal person and I like to give love and get some back.
Intuitively I felt that this is what I was born to do. It gives me power, strength, inspiration, a
sense of youthful spark and a feeling of pleasure, happiness and euphoria to do
exactly what I want with me life freely.
It's the fountain of youth, the key to longevity. I can't think of anything else that I'd
rather do than blow off that load of natural energy everyday in its three
facets; inspired, sensual-hedonistic and loving.
I kept haphazardly doing what I wanted to do until one
afternoon I was running around a park, I looked over and saw all the traffic on
the street then wondered why are they all there and I'm the only one here
running around on a nice day. It seems
like the most natural thing to do when the weather is good, go outdoors and
enjoy it.
Many people feel neurotic when they're not answering to a
job or school. I feel that they're all
chasing illusions of a fantasy life in the future that they think they're
working for but all we have is right now.
The past doesn't matter. You
shouldn't mull on it especially if it's negative so that shoots the so-called
pseudo-science of psychotherapy down.
The future doesn't matter because you can only live it when you get
there.
I create my life as I live it. I have very few material needs. I earn money through my creative
pursuits. That's enough for me to live
freely all the time, answering to no one but myself.
You either enjoy your life as you live it or you lose
because by signing up for any paper chase or rat race, by the time you're ready
to enjoy the money you've made, you will have destroyed your body and soul in
the process.
That day in the park, I finally figured it out. I have my own natural, intuitive standard of
how I should live and who I should be.
Society had totally fooled me into playing its game until I
was about 30 or so when I realized that I had been sold a bill of goods and
indoctrinated to live a certain lifestyle and think a certain way but somewhere
deep down I had a whole other pure, natural lifestyle inside of me that I was
born with.
This is huge. Most
people, when they think they're being free, are still following society's
formula.
Chapter 2. Where Do I Fit In the World 1?
Manly P Hall -
'The Secret Teachings of All Ages'
I listened to this teaching on youtube. Just type it in on youtube.com:
Manly P Hall - 'The Secret Teachings of All Ages'
It was very simple.
Everybody confronts themselves at some point
in time in the privacy of their minds away from all that stuff we call the
world, the human race or society.
Good people see that they are a good person.
Bad people see that they are evil scumbags
even though they pretend they aren’t out in the world.
Many people lose their natural sense of who
they are because of the artificial values of the world which are money, fame,
power, status, etc.
There is only one answer to constantly
feeling good about yourself.
That is that the world is constantly in
need. There is always a need of
something good to be done everywhere.
Simply do the good that needs to be done
wherever you are.
That’s the entire lesson.
Somewhere inside of you there is some
semblance of a good person even if you’re a fat, selfish lazy pig right now who
wants to watch hockey games and eat chips.
Be that person.
Don’t be idle, sitting around doing nothing
useful like watching TV, drinking booze, eating at restaurants.
Get to work doing something useful.
The need is everywhere. There are people and animals suffering
everywhere right now.
Jeff Berwick or
Dollar Vigilante Youtube Channels, The Guy is Honestly Exploring his Feelings
about Life
He’s a middle-aged guy who realized he was depressed, living in the
capitalist matrix now he’s trying to be healthy but he goes overboard in some
ways.
For instance, coffee enemas are not natural. You don’t need to stick something up your
butt.
He hires some phony health expert over skype and shares the video.
There’s nothing new under the sun.
She’s spewing off generic crap out of any health book at #611-613 at the
library but Jeff is a gem because he’s being honest to a certain point but all
men lie because we have to hide the incredible sex drives we were born with.

Success Psychobabble
Focus on who you are and what you naturally like to do that
can earn money.
Forget about being scared.
Do what you were naturally born to do with passion and intensity. Keep going no matter what.
Enjoy what you do.
People will respond to your joy for your work.
Do what makes you feel fulfilled.
Don't be a crybaby.
Nobody wants to hear you snivelling.
Develop a positive state of mind where you feel like a
winner because you're doing the best thing you possibly can, following your
true nature.
All you have to do is find a good job, a product to sell or
a service to offer that makes use of your true nature.
Creativity is easy.
Listen to your inner voice.
Learn about marketing and selling from my business book and
books at #658 at the library.
There should be no procrastination. You live to express what's in your true
nature.
Don't spend all your money.
Save and invest.
Are you willing to work hard at what you love to do to get
the money you want?
Here's how people get rich:
Self-owned business
Business MBA type
Doctors, lawyers and other professionals
Sales
Buy cheap products in Asia, sell them worldwide
Stock market
Real Estate
Invention
Entertainment
Writing a book
To become wealthy, acquire money then use it to make more
money.
Find a need and fill it.
Offer specialized knowledge.
Offer an almost unique skill or be the best at your skill.
Strive to exceed the expectations of your customers or your
boss.
Live debt-free.
You have to network and develop contacts. Expand your contacts by getting involved in
community service organizations.
Be a good worker.
Show up on time. Do the job well
quickly.
Be able to express yourself clearly.
Love the work you do so you're energetic about it.
Find a near-unique product or service. Start off with an accepted product then find
a way to improve it in some way.
Your True Nature Info
Discover who you were born to be in your true nature then
figure out a way to earn a living from it.
Where do you feel powerful?
I feel powerful when I swim but I can't earn a living from
it.
I feel good when I'm in the process of creating this
book. I can earn a living from that
because I am doing something useful in a practical, down-to-Earth way.
I'm down on all the brainwash on TV with all them pop idol
type talent shows putting ideas into people's heads about doing something
frivolous to earn a living. Every pop
star is a fluke who got lucky to some extent because there are loads of people
who can sing pretty good and sashe around acting like arrogant stars but only a
few luck out and actually make a lot of money from it.
If you're working a job you don't like now, you'll never be
happy until you do something closer to your true nature.
What truly interests you other than sex and drugs and rock
'n roll.
Find a blog or two where someone is blogging about the job
or business you're interested in.
I'm a bohemian-hippie.
That's why I always knew I could never work for someone else so because
I'm a creative intellectual anyway, I figure I'd create the best practical
information books ever. Same thing for
you. Do what you feel is right. Screw the nay sayers. Everybody hates anybody trying to bust out of
the rat race. I know because I was
crucified for being an aimless hippie while I was working my ass off on these
books. Don't listen to anyone. Nobody understands you but you.

What's Your Motive in Life?/ Life Calling
Who can I best serve?
Define what you can do to serve others to earn money in one
sentence.
Everyone knows something that is of value to others. Passion makes work fun and easy.
Finding the job that's right for you requires enough
soul-searching to discover your true nature then go with it no matter what.
Who am I should be the most important question anyone ever
asks. Who are you purely away from the
brainwash of the world? Figure it out
then figure out a way to earn a living at it.
For your own sake, don't just blindly pursue career success
because you've been brainwashed to think that's what it's all about. Doing what you want within reason is really
what it's all about, not just trying to make it to the top of your profession.
Here are some motives people have.
Be inspired.
Feel good.
Enjoy my life.
Money.
Fame.
Help people.
Adventure
Challenging problems
Competition
Creativity
Be free.
Independence
Influencing people
Status/ prestige
Structure
Work-life balance
Do What's Fun For You That Can Help Others
Fun is a serious issue.
Let's take away sex and romance as among the two biggest ways to feel
pleasure. Addiction to drugs or alcohol
are up there too but they're negative.
They destroy you.
Then there is frivolous fun like watching music videos,
eating junk food, playing video games, reading romance novels, etc. These activities are mostly passive and
produce nothing tangible for the world.
Discover what you like to do in your true nature.
Figure out a way to earn a living from it.
When you do what you love, you love what you do. Do what inspires you and makes you feel on
fire for your life.
The only way you will ever release all the natural energy
inside of you is to do what you love that somehow helps other people who will
pay you for what you do.
What is intuitive, fun and natural to you?
What is original or kind of unique about you in your local
area. Every local area has needs. These are called niches. Find the niche that you can fill and do it.
What is different about you that is positive and good?
What problems do you and others encounter in daily
life? Can you solve one of them?
Forget about being politically correct. As long as you do not break any laws, be
yourself.
Accept mistakes as part of the learning process.
How can you save somebody some time?
Arthur Schopenhauer, the philosopher, said, "A great
concept passes through three stages when it is new: First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being
self-evident."
Converting your natural interests into money takes time to
happen. Along the way you will need
determination, persistence and resiliency.
Don't pick a field or niche that's too narrow. There has to be enough interest in it in
order for you to make money.
Be sensible about whatever you decide to do. Don't go in with blind optimism. Just because you like to tinker with
typewriters doesn't mean you can make a living fixing them. Most people now use computers with printers.
Be kind and nice along the way.
Don't listen to naysayers.
Focussed Mind Info
Focus
on one thing without being distracted with other thoughts or other actions.
Relax.
Feel
what's natural within you.
Focus
on what's important in your life.
Staying
focused takes practice.
Decide
that you will focus only on the few things that matter to your life and shut
all other distractions out.
It
should all be natural and intuitive.
Know
your purpose, your abilities and your weaknesses.
Sometimes
focusing on one thing can lead to other ideas or questions. Explore them. It's all good if it's natural. Bad is to listen to mass media all the time.
Willpower
should be simply you following your true nature. Modern society is screwed because they want
you to force things by pursuing ambitions artificial to your true nature. That's why people get depressed and stressed.
Time
Management is modern society psychobabble bullshit. If you can't live your life doing what you
intuitively feel, you're really brainwashed.
You should know exactly what to do next all the time.
Self-control
is honoring your identity by releasing your natural energy day by day.
Live in
the now, not in the past, not thinking of the future. Calm down.
Be in the present moment.
When
changes occur, deal with them and get back to your real self.
Your
natural conscience of good and bad should be your rudder in life. Be honest.
Do the right thing.
You can
only think of one thing at a time so think about what’s best for you next.
Daydreaming
is good because it’s who you really are.
Feel your
emotions because they’re you. It’s
better to release negative emotionds without hurting others than to keep them
bottled up inside.
The
mind controls physical health to some extent.
A healthy mind helps create a healthy body.
Control
your feelings. Do what you feel.
Thinking
positive is thinking that life is pretty good right now and could get
better. Us people in Modern Western
societies are better off than everyone in human history even if we’re poor.
If you
don't like something, change it. If you can't, then change the way you think
about it.
Happiness
is following your true nature.

positive is solving your problems.

and ignore negative thoughts.

Chapter 3. Where Do I Fit In the World 2?
Why
College is a Lie in the Social Sciences and other Useless Majors
We’re brainwashed that the cool,
successful people go to college all through grade school.
It not only costs a lot of money
but if you major in one of the Social Sciences, Fine Arts or in any of their
useless subjects, your degrees are fake knowledge with no practical use in the
real world.
The Social Sciences are supposed
to teach you about life. It’s not
complicated. You don’t need 40 or so
college departments that supposedly teach you about life. It’s all someone else’s bullshit. I know what I need to know about life:
I am my true nature given to me
by whatever created me at birth. I know
it and live by it.
I try to be superficially polite
to every human I come across. Beyond
that, I’m not particularly interested in their little lives or bullshit. Everybody’s got their own bullshit sometimes
called ego. Good for them. Live and let live. I got my own interesting life to live out the
way my God created me to be.
Those soft college majors don’t
end in a real practical job. You don’t
have to believe me. Read the articles at
rense.com/Datapages/profdoomdat.htm.
A few majors at college lead to
real jobs in a useful field like medicine, law, engineering and computer
science but everything else is the fraud of college.
Personally, I want
colleges to get rid of all the meaningless subjects and become career schools,
teaching only programs that lead to a real job in the real world.
Some Life Truth
For truth-seekers, it’s
to discover their true nature and learn about the world.
For everyone else, it’s
supposed to be about getting a skill for a job.
For many lost souls,
college has no purpose other than to waste money.
Unless you were born with
a silver spoon in your mouth, you will have to pay your way for most of your
life.
You need to figure out a
way to earn money.
I say do not go to
college unless you’re going for a practical skill that ends with a license like
physiotherapy, nursing, etc.
Don’t waste time in any
of the Social Sciences. It’s all someone
else’s bulldhit about life.
Once you know your own
true nature, everything else about life becomes someone else’s bullshit.
The social life at
college is transient. Everyone grows up
and has bills to pay.
Get a real skill for the
real world.
Agriculture is real. Sociology is bullshit.
Here are some skills:
Business education.
Food sciences.
Trade and industrial and
health occupations.
Marketing
military
Our entire society is
brainwashed from childhood that you go to college to get a degree or degrees to
get a good a good job but if you get degrees in meaningless subjects, there is
no real job waiting at the end of it.
Most rich people got that
way in business.
Unless you’re an inventor
or high-talent entertainer, get a real skill in the business world.
Try working different
jobs or doing internships to see if something out there is interesting to you.
Scan job ads.
Get my job book.
Networking is the way
lots of people find jobs. People talk to
each other. Somebody says there’s a job
here or there.
Try volunteering to see
if something interests you.
Many naïve kids go to
college simply because they were brainwashed all their lives to think that
winners go there. You can spend years
being aimless at college thinking that when I get this silly degree I’m doing
there will be a job waiting for me then when you get the degree, you go out
into the workforce and realize you have no practical skill. The college doesn’t care. They got your money already.
