The clarity of mind after a tough workout alone makes training worth it

Never once in your life will you regret working out

yeah, it's amazing - it allows you to enter a deeper consciousness

* conscious state

Definitely does...nothing beats being in the zone. I've chased that dragon for as long as I've worked out for. Nothing like it

Athletes naturally operate in a higher state of consciousness

even as their baseline, their consciousness is much higher than the average person

i believe 'intelligence' is a state, not something you are - i'm not talking about intelligence through accumulation of knowledge - rather a state where your mind runs near optimal , aka 'flow' therefore the key isn't to become 'intelligent' rather to figure out what your 'key' is that open your 'intelligence'/'flow' state

once you do that, you'll have access to incredible tools within ur mind

I know exactly what you mean

and then you'll make devastatingly big progress in whatever you set your laser-like focus on

You're talking about the infinite intelliegence

what's that

a 'genius' is simply someone who was given that key from a young age

You pretty much defined it, but It's a spiritual and metaphysical type of intelligence that once you reach a certain state of consciousness, you have access to infinite creativity

yea

we can all open that gate, but we look in the wrong places

your genious

i'm still trying to find a consistent key to it, to me the key has been listening to the same song on repeat for weeks until i feel different stages of emotional connection at different points in the song

It's basically intelligence right from the source and it flows through you automatically as your perform

like when you're in the flow state playing music, sports, creating art

also re-enforces the idea of mastery, not hoping to different things

it's almost automatic and these works of art come out as mastpieces

masterpieces*

Tesla had access to this type of connection with the source of infinite intelligence

We can all develop it, Tesla wasn't special or anything.

He just had an intuitive knowing

exactly, the problem with nearly everything in life is that we all have good intentions at heart, but we look in the wrong direction. we enter a maze that we don't know the way out of and when we realise what we'ree looking for isnt 'here', we're lost and cant leave the maze, so we delude ourselves by following social conventions and living off shallow validation from others

This

we create a maze within a maze, to convince ourslves we're out of the one we entered 10+ years ago

I'm going through the maze right now tbh

This conversation is getting me back on track though

got me thinking

we're all lost in a maze, and we'll never find what we're looking for in each instance of our maze - therefore the trick is to never realise we can't find what we're looking for - this will keep the flame, that is hope, burning

This reminds me of a video from Actualized.org "40 Ways society fucks you in the ass"

even when you think you're happy, who's to say that you're not deluding yourself from a maze you're actually lost in ? delusion is good, it's a form of escapism, it can keep you with a strong sense of desire and desire is a source of continuous positive emotion as desire is fueled by hope

something like that title, but an excellent video

@Sigma lol

nvm only 30 ways I'm getting fucked

but still

it's such a great feeling when you make sense, in your own way, of how things connect and add up
