The thing I am going to help you all understand today, brothers, is the cause of all suffering and how to overcome it. This is a topic for the new year and something I am going to explore deeply with the podcast and the academy moving into 2022. Put simply, we suffer because we are out of alignment with what is. Our minds invent a set of narratives about reality, and when things don’t go the way it wants [...]
In celebration of the end of 2021, I am going to do things a little differently and spend this episode sharing some of my personal story with you, my brothers. You all know I don't like to brag or boast and I generally try to steer clear of making this podcast too much about myself, but today, as we look back at the year we just had, I thought that using my story would be a welcome contrast and [...]
We are returning to the subject of buffering today, something I have spoken about on this show before on a few occasions. I have also tackled this important theme in the courses at the academy. Removing this barrier to the self is central to the work we do together. Removing buffering habits is something I have done personally, brothers, overcoming unhealthy relationships to marijuana, pornography, oversleeping, exercising, social media, and most recently, digital gambling. Essentially, buffering is an avoidance [...]
These episodes have been getting a little wild recently and this one is no different! I know that many of you, brothers, want practical and actionable advice and strategies for how to apply these teachings. With that said, we are going to be diving into the subject of ownership today, and to kick this off I want to present you with the idea of the process, that every moment you are living your purpose. We all have to suffer [...]
Brothers, what I want to introduce you to today is a thought experiment called the Game of Life. It is designed to help you understand why it is that you are here on this planet: to live the life you’re meant to live, not the life you’ve been conditioned to believe you should be living! These concepts are highly complex, cognitive, scientific, and spiritual, so we will use storytelling and analogy to help us understand. I warn you, we’re [...]
It is December again, Brothers, and I am so excited because this means we are in the month of the Impossible Goal. This is the time of year where students of the Spartan Academy begin their journey toward self-realization and inner freedom through the attainment of their Impossible Goal. Much of what humanity used to think was impossible has now been proved to be very much in the realm of the possible, and it is the same with our [...]
The truth is, whether you’re 20 years old, or 40 years old, the volume of conditioning that you have is the same. That’s because you are really only physiologically conditioned once every seven years, and psychologically in significantly less time. That means that the cognitive limitations you perceive about your life are nothing more than perceptions. The prison you’re living in is purely a projection created by your mind. The good news, brothers, is that enlightenment can happen in [...]
Welcome back, brothers, to part two of our three-part series on perception. Right now, we are living through a phase in our evolution where the mind has interrupted our ability to truly see the world around us and, therefore, our ability to exist in the Alpha state. The path toward the Alpha is clear though; we have to learn how to see with our heart, exist in the present, and stop allowing the mind to cloud our perception with [...]
This is the source of all dysfunction and suffering in the world: the mind is the illegitimate king. To reach your Alpha state, you must become the master of your mind. Brothers, the mind is not evil. It is not the source of the suffering. On the contrary, the mind is a gift from the source. It provides us with a link to our true self in an unconscious way. It allows us to experience the blessing of the [...]
Today, my brothers, we complete the third phase of our journey in the 1.0 Cognitive Mastery Curriculum by talking about observation; how the mind is meant to operate in its current function. If you haven’t listened to the previous episodes on awareness and detachment, the first two stages in the process of cognitive mastery, I encourage you to go back and do so now. Brothers, observation is how the mind is meant to operate in its current function. It [...]
