Well said. And the funny thing is that some might think that you are not being a good friend but they don’t understand you are doing just what you are supposed to be doing.
I respect no fap, but to the point where you are looked lesser than for having sexual relationships with the opposite sex is disrespectful for me. Honestly not fapping to porn has got me closer to the girl I’ve been talking to, it’s like now I don’t feel animosity towards her nature, and I acknowledge and don’t resent my libido. All I have is love now.
I remember in early 2019 watching one of your videos after I failed a certification exam for my professional license for like the 5th time. I was in a place where I was just ready to give up and say fuck it and sign up for the corporate grind for the next 40 years instead of being self employed, but I watched that video and said "I'll give it one more shot and I'll give it my best effort no excuses", 3 months later I passed all of my certification exams and I am a fully license CPA. All we can really do is to keep pushing. Most people are way smarter than what they give themselves credit for, it's usually a distraction or willpower issue. Anyways this video reminded me of that and I wanted to say thank you for the extra motivation Elisha, and everything else you do.

Recently I started playing a different game from the norm, I can relate onto this so much because everyone playing the game always think they are right and I am right when we simply just think differently. I've lost friends when I started playing a new game and I remember people come and go, I don't need a girlfriend right now, I'm actually happy being alone willingly. Don't listen to small minded people, attack the new year and keep the high Thumos spirit brothers 🔥 and remember play the different game.
Dude, your channel is a damn gold mine! A lot of the stuff you talk about In your videos is already encompassed in my lifestyle. You are unplugged and woke and listening to you is like a breath of fresh air. HIGH THUMOS!
This got me fired up. I've noticed that the more I step outside of the boundaries of the beast system its women who are the 'eye of sauron." Its the women who look at me like i need to be sacrificed. Men usually look at me with curiosity, admiration, or with envy. This to me is evidence we are in a matriarchal system and not a patriarchal system. Why else would women see those outside the system as a threat.?Although it goes against our protective instincts as men, i've decided the only thing to do is to let these women go, and basically send the message to them that if they look at me with the 'eye of sauron', if they hold me back, if they are outside of my tribe, then I dont fuck them, I dont marry them, I dont work with them, I dont protect them, and I dont provide for them.
This got me fired up too! You are not supposed to protect every woman my man, only those within your tribe! Your instincts never lie to you, so please don't doubt them. If someone messes with you, he/she messes with you! Remember brother nature is always at ease. Stay strong.

I used to be trapped in this Job for six years (IT first/2nd level Support, Helpdesk, Sysadmin Stuff) and this year I finally said fuck it, took all the risk, applied to my favourite uni for studying psychology, I got a place, now I'm in and it just feels so unreal to finally have escaped that safety trap of a slave 9-5er job. I'm 29, I have to pay immense amounts of money for insurance and I'm jobbing like stupid, but what I'm trying to get across is this: it's never too late to do what's right for you. Best wishes to all of you for 2021 - and thank you so much for the ongoing inspirational support.
My plan is to work some 9 to 5 or part time jobs until I save up enough money to live in a van in nature and go hunt lol. That's like my dream and I think it's pretty easy too. Save up some food too. There is no soul sucking in nature, so I am good. Live like a human life should be lived, in nature. Once it gets a bit boring, I'll go travel to a nice city for a bit and right back to my van once I sense the devil's temptations...
and get myself a nice female companion too ofc. that has the same plan. This is why I never get really depressed working a 9to5 because I know I got a backup plan if I just don't wanna play the game anymore. This shit is always at the back of my mind.
Everything is changing for me. Brutal illness woke me up, I'm no longer going college. I'm learning music and a skill which will allow me to work remotely, part time, high wage (digital marketing-seth hymes course) By the end of February I will be working 20hours a week investing most that doesn't go on basic living costs. I will spend all the rest of my time doing music. I was gonna go college this year to do a 4 year course of computer science, getting seriously ill saved me from that path. I am now where I want to be. What really helped me get here, to get out of my own way, was the law of attraction Please read these books brother's *the master key system *mastery *becoming supernatural They taught me how to stop playing the game made for me by others. I now pilot my own ship, and harness the wind which best serves me, now which is loudest. Quality video Elisha
Dude I really needed to hear this one. I’ve had zero motivation to work on my drumming channel this past year, and it hurts. I’ve gotten too comfortable and lazy using the pandemic as an excuse. You just lit that fire for me and helped me realize what I need to do to make this work. Thank you.
Hey man, I checked out your channel. I really hope you get back to drumming someday because it’s sad to see the talent go unnoticed. Love Metallica and Tool. Would love to see a cover of a Korn song too
Yeah! This is exactly the kind of thing I've been working towards - walking to the beat of my own drum, living life for me and not what other people expect. It's a journey but I'm getting there.
I listen to Alan Watt's teachings on zen and he talks about playing life as a different 'game' , as to take life less seriously. Check it out and have a blessed day! love the videos Elisha, been watching for years.
I really liked how you called it the PIRATE spirit. I've always found myself somewhat excited and inspired after watching the Pirates of the Carribean movies. Seeing the adventures and thrills that Jack Sparrow goes on, and the fact that he's the Captain of the ship, a leader, always makes me happy and feeling like I want to embark on a journey like that. Not to mention the amazing sword fights and musical themes.
Your voice is heard man, your voice is heard. I feel sadness in your voice, Overthinking could mislead our lives to a dangerous path maybe it's not right for everybody to be a thinker. Not all people have what it takes to be supermen. Our generation is fragile, we better improve ourselves and serve in order to lead. Lots of love for you, your videos are inspiring.
Forreals, I got a mustang a year ago and pay 350 a month and another 200 insurance. That's money I could have used to move out. Im locked in for another 5 years. Im making the best of it though, enrolled in culinary school and working at a job that really fulfills me.
At time point 19:52 in the vid, I believe the saying "I'm playing chess and they're playing checkers" would have been an appropriate analogy. Love the content Elisha, keep it up!
I noticed after the pandemic, my friends and I went into our own paths. Some stayed to continue university, some stopped. I stopped university in order to build myself up like maintaining my brand that I’ve grown the last year, helping in the family business, learning my 4th language, getting fit, and trying out different things like studying 3D modeling, finance, and producing a film with my friends. So far, picking a different path other than university was something else entirely.
This freaking virus situation makes me weirdly emotional and stressed out about things i dont normally care about. I also cant train jiu-jitsu here in germany at the moment. So i cant get the energy out and it sucks so bad. Anyway, your videos are what keep me on track in these weird times and i would like to thank you for that. high thumos bro
I watched this at the perfect time. I had a car accident and am looking for a new car. I was about to throw all my money away to a fancy car but not anymore. Getting a nice cheap fuel efficient car thats gonna allow me to keep playing my own game. Thanks bro much love
Such a timely video, I always have this urge to put down all the shit I hold “valuable” this phone, my car my schoolwork and drugs to just go into the middle of the woods and get back to basics. We have so much power at our hands yet we’ve exchanged our souls for it. All the shit we considered fun, social media, drugs, partying, drinking are all coping mechanisms. Imagine living in a world that your daily life is so soul sucking that you have to numb yourself on the daily to cope with your reality.
Great message, Elisha. You're exactly right that 'Money fixes money problems'. Thanks for keeping me focused on the narrow road. Also, let's keep Sunday Fellowship videos going strong into 2021!!! Yeet!
Elisha man... been watching you for about two years now. Youve really helped em continuously challenge myself to keep leveling up in all aspects of life. You also got me back into reading books and ive been soaking up knowledge. Anyways great video like always! Growing up without a father figure and being able to see you be stoic, intelligent, and brutally honest helps me WANT to keep getting better.
Dude, did you read my mind? I legit was talking about these subjects you mentioned at the start of the video. It's like this video was the answer I was searching for. Eli, you coming in again to get me from the bottom, it's been 3 years since I've started following you... I'm really grateful for your help since then.
I’m 24 years old from Rhode Island and I feel we see a lot of things the same way. For years I’ve been tired of the system and refuse to play along with what’s expected of me. I also stay away from social norms and practice self awareness. It’s exhausting when I try to help people around me that live day by day moping around not willing to change their habits. (Sadly a lot of these people are older than I am) but I’ve learned to just focus on me and become the best version of myself. I’ve been watching your videos for almost 2 years now along with Jordan Peterson, joe Rogan and even taking in some of the truth George Carlin has Spoken and it has made me look at life from a different angle. I hope to meet you one day man. High thumos ✊🏼
Hell yeah brother, men need to hear this. From the beginning I never quite liked the idea of "integrating" into the system. And were it not for you and the monkmode group, I may not have fully realized the path that I needed to take. I am glad that I was reminded that I am not chained to the office, and quit my job 3 months ago to work on my business. I am glad that I was encouraged to implement more challenge into life, which has rewarded me well. And even now, when I still have yet to make my first sale, I do not regret it. (But really need to make it happen soon lol.) Stay blessed brother.
I wouldn’t mind “charting a different path”, but I don’t even know what kind of career I would want (regardless if it’s inside or outside the system). Took a bunch of tests and tried different things, but nothing really stands out as interesting. I have a bunch of hobbies where I’m creative, but my ideas are too inconsistent to gain a following because people want to know what they can expect. Got a job in the system and in a field where I can use my skills creatively, but the coof killed it and it was turning into something I didn’t like anyway. Do you just go for a random job just to make money? I feel like I would hate/regret it as settling. Even pie-in-the-sky dreams (like an online creator) are bad ideas because unless you’re making a ton, you’ll have to throw out creativity just to churn out consistent content just to make money. At that point you might as well be in the system because it would be less work and you’d get benefits. And everything else associated with making a life for yourself (house, relationship, family) is irrelevant if you can’t make money to become self-sufficient. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place and I’m not even sure where to go. It would be one thing to have a goal and then start working towards it but I don’t even have that. Made worse when every avenue appears to be a dead end.
I've heard some good advice lately. Basically, just see what spikes your curiosity. Follow that curiosity and see where it takes you. Try new things, see what you like/don't like. Heard about this in a recent video from Andrew Kirby, great channel btw. Youny dude, but he's pushing the boundaries on the self-improvement scene, especially with his "Time Theory" thing.
See guys, the cost of life is an absurd created by the system. My idea is that creativity is an enegry and there is fair reasoning that we should put it into something profitable. Do the work where you create something e.g. an engineer, an architect, a programmer.
@@Crambull I'll try, at least if I can think of semi-interesting activities I haven't participated in. Not "job-worthy" but I have wanted to try parkour. I think my issue is that I've never been the kind of person that has that one discipline I really love and could pursue. Like someone who knew they wanted to be a musician as a teen or an artist as a child. I've tried and liked an assortment of things to a smaller degree and like mixing them all together instead. I prefer a lot of variety (either short projects focused on one thing or longer ones that require various skillsets) than learning/applying one main skill. For a variety of reasons, I'm pretty sure I have ADD/ADHD, so that would explain why (among other things). It's difficult to find/think of a career where each day/project requires different skills and they're each (or most are) creatively-fulfilling.
Forget what you like! Do what you are good at! From this you create content to inspire the world.......horseshit, from this you can make money. That's what you should want, money, and the control and power it provides you. Some of you will be poets and artists, most of you will do shitty, hard work for long hours in crappy conditions, love it...why, because you are good at it.
That was hands down exactly what I needed right now. I felt like I knew everything already, but just needed this to remind me and set me back on track. Really appreciate this content bro 👊
I’m 20 and I’m out of prison and I got set up and lost my reputation after been labelled a snitch. At the beginning of this year I felt / knew I was going on a warrior path and becoming more. My life seems even more pointless since I have been in and out of jail and everything being the same since I was 16. I have not took opportunities with women and fighting and am generally just regretting my life. I “know” and hear god and have seen past lives. I have self sabotaged a lot and seem to be ruining my life. I understand I should never been in prison In the first place because am not a thug or criminal(in the professional sense) I suppose I choose to go to prison for the truth,Charles Manson . I am getting too lost in life. I’ve had senses of systems and knowing I’m different. I don’t know but My life is getting worse and dark.
Stay up brother. Mindset is everything. I know you been through some shit but you got this. Focus on the good in your life no matter how small and keep improving 💯
To me that verse of the Bible means doing something you don’t even want to do. Or even doing things that you know doesn’t interest you. Some people even believe it means selling your soul to the devil to gain power or amass great riches. A very hard lesson I had to learn this year was to literally live everyday as if it were my last. Doing things that are in my best interest. Going after things that I want. Doing things that I want without jeopardizing the safety and well being of others (of course the second point was never an issue for me). To follow that force inside, that intuition that guides you to make the right decisions. I am no longer confined to the prison I was out in by other people. Now I’m going after what it is that I want for my life. High Thumos;)
Now, what I would call a really swinging human being is a person who lives on two levels at once. He’s able to live on the level of being his ordinary ego, his everyday personality, and play his role in life, and to observe all the rules, and so on, that go with that. But if he is only on that level-if he’s only playing that kind of thing-and thinks that’s all there is, it becomes a drag. He starts being the kind of person who feels that he’s just got to go on surviving, see? It’s terribly important to go on surviving; to live. And he works at that. And his children learn the same attitude from him. And they-he says, “Well, I’ve got to survive because I’ve got all these children I have to support,” and so on, and so forth, and then they take the same attitude, and they breed up children, and they feel compulsive about supporting them, because they’ve got to go on. And so nobody really has any fun. It’s just... “Ungh! Ungh! Ungh! Ungh!” You’ve got to make this thing! You see? And you don’t have to! -- Alan Watts

Thanks Elisha! Let’s get you to 100k!
I am so thankful when the video is 30 min long. Always looking for the gems!
Everything is changing for me. Brutal illness woke me up, I'm no longer going college. I'm learning music and a skill which will allow me to work remotely, part time, high wage (digital marketing-seth hymes course)
By the end of February I will be working 20hours a week investing most that doesn't go on basic living costs.
I will spend all the rest of my time doing music. I was gonna go college this year to do a 4 year course of computer science, getting seriously ill saved me from that path. I am now where I want to be.
What really helped me get here, to get out of my own way, was the law of attraction
Please read these books brother's
*the master key system
*mastery
*becoming supernatural
They taught me how to stop playing the game made for me by others. I now pilot my own ship, and harness the wind which best serves me, now which is loudest.
Quality video Elisha
Dude I really needed to hear this one. I’ve had zero motivation to work on my drumming channel this past year, and it hurts. I’ve gotten too comfortable and lazy using the pandemic as an excuse. You just lit that fire for me and helped me realize what I need to do to make this work. Thank you.
Hey man, I checked out your channel. I really hope you get back to drumming someday because it’s sad to see the talent go unnoticed. Love Metallica and Tool. Would love to see a cover of a Korn song too
Yeah! This is exactly the kind of thing I've been working towards - walking to the beat of my own drum, living life for me and not what other people expect. It's a journey but I'm getting there.
The gym will happen. We got this. It will be amazing. High thumos is growing. i give it 2 years Max.
2 years have passed, did you get it?
I listen to Alan Watt's teachings on zen and he talks about playing life as a different 'game'
, as to take life less seriously.
Check it out and have a blessed day!
love the videos Elisha, been watching for years.
I really liked how you called it the PIRATE spirit. I've always found myself somewhat excited and inspired after watching the Pirates of the Carribean movies. Seeing the adventures and thrills that Jack Sparrow goes on, and the fact that he's the Captain of the ship, a leader, always makes me happy and feeling like I want to embark on a journey like that. Not to mention the amazing sword fights and musical themes.
Months later still a great fucking reminder. Ty.
Im gonna watch this every mornin. Yesterday was first, today the 2nd. Its like a motivational speech
Yo nice placement of the fire lol the fireplace corner lines up with your room's. Great vid too man excellent content to cover
Haha Thanks
Your voice is heard man, your voice is heard. I feel sadness in your voice, Overthinking could mislead our lives to a dangerous path maybe it's not right for everybody to be a thinker. Not all people have what it takes to be supermen. Our generation is fragile, we better improve ourselves and serve in order to lead. Lots of love for you, your videos are inspiring.
Forreals, I got a mustang a year ago and pay 350 a month and another 200 insurance. That's money I could have used to move out. Im locked in for another 5 years. Im making the best of it though, enrolled in culinary school and working at a job that really fulfills me.
Good attitude brother. Stay strong
@@ElishaLong you as well man!
At time point 19:52 in the vid, I believe the saying "I'm playing chess and they're playing checkers" would have been an appropriate analogy.
Love the content Elisha, keep it up!
“Money only solves money problems” wow
Awesome! I've been watching for almost 4 years and you're still smashing it. Thank you.
Appreciate you brother
Your mind has truly changed a lot Eli, and long time fans can see that through the course of this youtube journey
Killing it, Elisha. Pure gold!
I noticed after the pandemic, my friends and I went into our own paths. Some stayed to continue university, some stopped. I stopped university in order to build myself up like maintaining my brand that I’ve grown the last year, helping in the family business, learning my 4th language, getting fit, and trying out different things like studying 3D modeling, finance, and producing a film with my friends. So far, picking a different path other than university was something else entirely.
What made you learn 3D modeling? You into video game design?
@@amadeusakreveusmusic3356 I’m an illustrator, 3D’s great for reference uses. Also yea, Video Game design or film animation would be great as well.
Elisha, truly this is the most important video i have seen all year, thank you for guiding us all, what a man you are 🤚🏻🤚🏻
High praise man. Thanks a ton
Hell yea Elisha! This was another fun, and high thumos packed video! The positivity remains refreshing.
Thanks for the immense inspiration Elisha!

This freaking virus situation makes me weirdly emotional and stressed out about things i dont normally care about. I also cant train jiu-jitsu here in germany at the moment. So i cant get the energy out and it sucks so bad. Anyway, your videos are what keep me on track in these weird times and i would like to thank you for that. high thumos bro

I really needed this. Thank you brother
I watched this at the perfect time. I had a car accident and am looking for a new car. I was about to throw all my money away to a fancy car but not anymore. Getting a nice cheap fuel efficient car thats gonna allow me to keep playing my own game. Thanks bro much love
As a recent subscriber, I am profoundly thankful for your insight and video content. It's amazing again how timely this topic is. Thank you brother.
Such a timely video, I always have this urge to put down all the shit I hold “valuable” this phone, my car my schoolwork and drugs to just go into the middle of the woods and get back to basics. We have so much power at our hands yet we’ve exchanged our souls for it. All the shit we considered fun, social media, drugs, partying, drinking are all coping mechanisms. Imagine living in a world that your daily life is so soul sucking that you have to numb yourself on the daily to cope with your reality.
Great message, Elisha. You're exactly right that 'Money fixes money problems'. Thanks for keeping me focused on the narrow road. Also, let's keep Sunday Fellowship videos going strong into 2021!!! Yeet!
One of your best videos man
Elisha man... been watching you for about two years now. Youve really helped em continuously challenge myself to keep leveling up in all aspects of life. You also got me back into reading books and ive been soaking up knowledge. Anyways great video like always! Growing up without a father figure and being able to see you be stoic, intelligent, and brutally honest helps me WANT to keep getting better.
Your a legend bro! From South-Africa
Dude, did you read my mind? I legit was talking about these subjects you mentioned at the start of the video. It's like this video was the answer I was searching for. Eli, you coming in again to get me from the bottom, it's been 3 years since I've started following you... I'm really grateful for your help since then.
I’m 24 years old from Rhode Island and I feel we see a lot of things the same way. For years I’ve been tired of the system and refuse to play along with what’s expected of me. I also stay away from social norms and practice self awareness. It’s exhausting when I try to help people around me that live day by day moping around not willing to change their habits. (Sadly a lot of these people are older than I am) but I’ve learned to just focus on me and become the best version of myself. I’ve been watching your videos for almost 2 years now along with Jordan Peterson, joe Rogan and even taking in some of the truth George Carlin has Spoken and it has made me look at life from a different angle. I hope to meet you one day man. High thumos ✊🏼
Distractions are most definitely my kryptonite. Thanks for the video my general!
Last 2 minutes put a shiver down my spine. God bless you Elisha
Hell yeah brother, men need to hear this. From the beginning I never quite liked the idea of "integrating" into the system. And were it not for you and the monkmode group, I may not have fully realized the path that I needed to take. I am glad that I was reminded that I am not chained to the office, and quit my job 3 months ago to work on my business. I am glad that I was encouraged to implement more challenge into life, which has rewarded me well. And even now, when I still have yet to make my first sale, I do not regret it. (But really need to make it happen soon lol.)
Stay blessed brother.
I wouldn’t mind “charting a different path”, but I don’t even know what kind of career I would want (regardless if it’s inside or outside the system).
Took a bunch of tests and tried different things, but nothing really stands out as interesting. I have a bunch of hobbies where I’m creative, but my ideas are too inconsistent to gain a following because people want to know what they can expect. Got a job in the system and in a field where I can use my skills creatively, but the coof killed it and it was turning into something I didn’t like anyway. Do you just go for a random job just to make money? I feel like I would hate/regret it as settling.
Even pie-in-the-sky dreams (like an online creator) are bad ideas because unless you’re making a ton, you’ll have to throw out creativity just to churn out consistent content just to make money. At that point you might as well be in the system because it would be less work and you’d get benefits. And everything else associated with making a life for yourself (house, relationship, family) is irrelevant if you can’t make money to become self-sufficient. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place and I’m not even sure where to go. It would be one thing to have a goal and then start working towards it but I don’t even have that. Made worse when every avenue appears to be a dead end.
mrshmuga9 Well said, I'm somewhat in the same place of mind.
I've heard some good advice lately. Basically, just see what spikes your curiosity. Follow that curiosity and see where it takes you. Try new things, see what you like/don't like. Heard about this in a recent video from Andrew Kirby, great channel btw. Youny dude, but he's pushing the boundaries on the self-improvement scene, especially with his "Time Theory" thing.
See guys, the cost of life is an absurd created by the system. My idea is that creativity is an enegry and there is fair reasoning that we should put it into something profitable. Do the work where you create something e.g. an engineer, an architect, a programmer.
@@Crambull I'll try, at least if I can think of semi-interesting activities I haven't participated in. Not "job-worthy" but I have wanted to try parkour.
I think my issue is that I've never been the kind of person that has that one discipline I really love and could pursue. Like someone who knew they wanted to be a musician as a teen or an artist as a child. I've tried and liked an assortment of things to a smaller degree and like mixing them all together instead. I prefer a lot of variety (either short projects focused on one thing or longer ones that require various skillsets) than learning/applying one main skill. For a variety of reasons, I'm pretty sure I have ADD/ADHD, so that would explain why (among other things). It's difficult to find/think of a career where each day/project requires different skills and they're each (or most are) creatively-fulfilling.
Forget what you like! Do what you are good at! From this you create content to inspire the world.......horseshit, from this you can make money. That's what you should want, money, and the control and power it provides you.
Some of you will be poets and artists, most of you will do shitty, hard work for long hours in crappy conditions, love it...why, because you are good at it.
ur timing is always crazy. the only big bro figure i have
Thanks Elisha. I really needed this right now. I’m in a dark time, but this is enlightening
needed this one bro! 'Lions don't concern themselves with the opinions of sheep'
This was funny and inspirational at the same time. I'm really grateful for these 30 minutes.

Thanks Eli, you’re right this is a great reminder
Your videos are helpful. I use your messages to remind myself with a journal.
That was hands down exactly what I needed right now. I felt like I knew everything already, but just needed this to remind me and set me back on track. Really appreciate this content bro 👊
2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. $500 bucks. Stay simple, live free. good stuff.
It is time we became pioneers and adventurers of our own lives brothers.
I love your intent and message man
High thumos brother 🔥💪🏻
Wowe thank you. So right about being different and following through with yourself
thanks Elisha, your contents always been a big help
Good shit mate, totally agree on the car subject, classic case of the emperor with no clothes. Plenty of young guys need to hear this.
This video really hit me thanks for sharing
I’m 20 and I’m out of prison and I got set up and lost my reputation after been labelled a snitch. At the beginning of this year I felt / knew I was going on a warrior path and becoming more. My life seems even more pointless since I have been in and out of jail and everything being the same since I was 16. I have not took opportunities with women and fighting and am generally just regretting my life. I “know” and hear god and have seen past lives. I have self sabotaged a lot and seem to be ruining my life. I understand I should never been in prison In the first place because am not a thug or criminal(in the professional sense) I suppose I choose to go to prison for the truth,Charles Manson . I am getting too lost in life. I’ve had senses of systems and knowing I’m different. I don’t know but My life is getting worse and dark.
Stay up brother. Mindset is everything. I know you been through some shit but you got this. Focus on the good in your life no matter how small and keep improving 💯
Hey Elisha I strayed from the path around the time shortly after this video but here I am checking it out now. HT
Finally, a youtuber and message I really relate to. Thanks man! keep it up
Thanks you so much brother never stop doing what you do
To me that verse of the Bible means doing something you don’t even want to do. Or even doing things that you know doesn’t interest you. Some people even believe it means selling your soul to the devil to gain power or amass great riches. A very hard lesson I had to learn this year was to literally live everyday as if it were my last. Doing things that are in my best interest. Going after things that I want. Doing things that I want without jeopardizing the safety and well being of others (of course the second point was never an issue for me). To follow that force inside, that intuition that guides you to make the right decisions. I am no longer confined to the prison I was out in by other people. Now I’m going after what it is that I want for my life. High Thumos;)
Now, what I would call a really swinging human being is a person who lives on two levels at once. He’s able to live on the level of being his ordinary ego, his everyday personality, and play his role in life, and to observe all the rules, and so on, that go with that. But if he is only on that level-if he’s only playing that kind of thing-and thinks that’s all there is, it becomes a drag. He starts being the kind of person who feels that he’s just got to go on surviving, see? It’s terribly important to go on surviving; to live. And he works at that. And his children learn the same attitude from him. And they-he says, “Well, I’ve got to survive because I’ve got all these children I have to support,” and so on, and so forth, and then they take the same attitude, and they breed up children, and they feel compulsive about supporting them, because they’ve got to go on. And so nobody really has any fun. It’s just... “Ungh! Ungh! Ungh! Ungh!” You’ve got to make this thing! You see? And you don’t have to!
