“There was a time when the royal families of Europe believed that bathing was for the poor, that personal hygiene was beneath them and would bring them disease. In their ignorance and pretentiousness, they wore very heavy and ornate clothing, invented powders, wigs and perfumes to cover their stench and all the while felt superior to the poor. Once medical science proved that cleanliness was a much better idea, everyone shifted to this new technology. Rich fashion and scents remained, but for different reasons. The paradigm had changed. Bathing became a life-changing and life-saving part of life and duty.
This is where we are now. Emotionality is not empowering or healthful, and once we learn a new kind of personal hygiene for the consciousness, we can live better lives without the stench of a mind untrained. You are in charge.
There has never been a time in the world when people were more intelligent and more limited. Nor has there ever been such an opportunity for accelerating the mind’s capacity. On a very practical level, we are on the verge of one of the greatest shifts in human history. Training our minds for stability and resilience is what will make each of us a leader during this thrilling Renaissance.”
“What if your mind were an instrument of stability and peace? What if the reality you create were governed by your mental strength and resilience and not by stress? What if you controlled your own story, your own actions and your own consciousness and were unencumbered by reactivity?
The fact is that depression, unhappiness, mental instability and dependency are more rampant in society than ever. Our outdated approaches to the human mind have kept us enslaved, brittle, volatile and at war. Emotionality is the force at work behind the business of mental health and the mantles of power everywhere—it runs the world.
During this new Renaissance period of the twenty-first century, there is an opportunity to upgrade our understanding of our minds, individually and collectively. We are all moving toward a superintelligence. But to get there, we must first ask, “Who is in charge?”
“Confusion is a way to avoid the truth and erode stability. We choose to become confused, to not know or face the truth. When a person gets confused, they’re mismanaging their mind. They’re creating a complicated reaction that becomes untrue. It confuses them. It confuses everyone. Repeated patterns of confusion from the past may become emotions or traumas or mysteries or fantasies, and they develop their own psyche—almost like a spirit of their own—that starts to make demands. It takes over.
The solution is the clarity of a stable leading mind. Life isn’t like a house or a car you own—you cannot control it—but you can control your own discipline. You can be steady and clear as you navigate the inevitable ups and downs of people, events and environments around you. Clarity is power, and discipline is the engine that drives that power. When you know who you are, when you are the driver of your own mind, your internal computer begins to take away the complications, the confusion, that erroneous sense of ownership. You restore the flow of life.”
