Live Like a Warrior, Die like a Legend

A warrior is someone who lives in the right relationship with death .
Doing so lights a fire in the heart that fuels a passionate and conscious life .
For most of us , death is a boogie man that we try to forget .
Since death is both inevitable and terrifying , there seems to be no sense in thinking about it .
Worrying about death is as senseless as worrying about the color of your eyes , right ?
Nothing could be further from the truth .
Death is the ultimate teacher .
And its student becomes a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the eternal hunter .
It ’ s coming after all of us .
And at any moment…BAM…it can strike and everything will be over in an instant .
Only a warrior will be truly ready .
In the face of your inevitable death , you can do one of two things : • Do what most people do : hide from death , avoid it , don ’ t think about it , deny it , and ignore it .
You can tell yourself that you ’ re not really worried about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big of a deal .
If you have a serious illness or lose a loved one , then you can deal with death only for as long as you have to .
Once you feel better , then you can forget about it again .
This is the path of fear , the path of weakness , and the path of denial .
This is the path of “ sheeple.
” • The second and best option is to accept the reality of death and take it seriously .
Think about the certainty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strike at any moment .
Realize the uncertainty of its time , place , and manner .
Live in an active relationship with your mortality and contend with it .
This is the path of the warrior .
A warrior knows that in the face of death , there is no time for superfluous thoughts and actions .
The mindfulness of death separates the wheat from the chaff and reminds us of what really matters .
A warrior constantly sharpens his blade in preparation for his confrontation with death .
Wisdom says that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we know is most certain .
If we will be traveling in the desert , then it is wise to bring plenty of water and clothing to protect from dehydration and hyperthermia .
It ’ s unwise to take a machete just in case a snake attacks but then forget water and clothing .
So it is with death .
It is the one thing that is most certain in life .
Therefore living without preparation for death is an enormous mistake .
Worse yet , it makes us weak and conceited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every warrior needs in order to manifest his higher self .
He must live a life that prepares him to confront the great hunter .
If we want to be warriors , we must be aware of every moment .
We must be deliberate in our intentions and actions .
We must sharpen our skills and be as powerful as possible .
If we accept that death may strike at any moment , then we must also accept the possibility that every single decision that we make could be our last.A warrior is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he makes .
Are you willing to meet death with a bag of potato chips in your hand while watching an episode of the Kardashians ?
Are you willing to die choking on food that you were eating while gossiping about your co-workers ?
A warrior ’ s death is a death that is a culmination of his life .
But because he never knows when death will come , then every moment of his life must be a culmination .
Every moment matters and there is no time to “ kill.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of your heart .
When you make breakfast , make it with all of your heart .
When you take a s*** , take it with all of your heart .
Death also puts our concerns into perspective .
It reminds us that we are finite , and so are our problems .
That job that you hate , that significant other that is driving you crazy , and that illness that is zapping your life away , all seem much smaller when you think of the end .
In the face of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nothing but a flicker of a candle in the wind that is over before it even began .
Death also puts our relationships into perspective .
When we deny death , we experience our relationships with others as burdensome .
For example , suppose that you hate the fact that your romantic partner smacks their lips when they eat .
Then you think about how you will have to hear them smack their lips for another five thousand times .
Then you want to shoot yourself .
But if we accept the reality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interaction with others as if it is our last .
Suddenly the smacking lips seem insignificant , and they may even seem nostalgic and cute in light of death .
A legendary life is one lived so that one can smile in the face of death and its recounting of life .
Death is the final witness .
All spiritual traditions — not to mention the accounts of millions of people who have had near-death experiences— teach us that at the moment of death , our life flashes before our eyes .

A warrior is someone who lives in the right relationship with death. Doing so lights a fire in the heart that fuels a passionate and conscious life. For most of us, death is a boogie man that we try to forget. Since death is both inevitable and terrifying, there seems to be no sense in thinking about it. Worrying about death is as senseless as worrying about the color of your eyes, right?
Nothing could be further from the truth. Death is the ultimate teacher. And its student becomes a warrior.
Death is the great stalker and the eternal hunter. It’s coming after all of us. And at any moment…BAM…it can strike and everything will be over in an instant. Only a warrior will be truly ready.
In the face of your inevitable death, you can do one of two things:
Do what most people do: hide from death, avoid it, don’t think about it, deny it, and ignore it. You can tell yourself that you’re not really worried about it. It’s not that big of a deal. If you have a serious illness or lose a loved one, then you can deal with death only for as long as you have to. Once you feel better, then you can forget about it again. This is the path of fear, the path of weakness, and the path of denial. This is the path of “sheeple.” The second and best option is to accept the reality of death and take it seriously. Think about the certainty of it. Contemplate how it can strike at any moment. Realize the uncertainty of its time, place, and manner. Live in an active relationship with your mortality and contend with it. This is the path of the warrior.
A warrior knows that in the face of death, there is no time for superfluous thoughts and actions. The mindfulness of death separates the wheat from the chaff and reminds us of what really matters.
A warrior constantly sharpens his blade in preparation for his confrontation with death. Wisdom says that we must prioritize expending our energy on what we know is most certain. If we will be traveling in the desert, then it is wise to bring plenty of water and clothing to protect from dehydration and hyperthermia. It’s unwise to take a machete just in case a snake attacks but then forget water and clothing.
So it is with death. It is the one thing that is most certain in life. Therefore living without preparation for death is an enormous mistake. Worse yet, it makes us weak and conceited. Death is the worthy adversary that every warrior needs in order to manifest his higher self. He must live a life that prepares him to confront the great hunter.
If we want to be warriors, we must be aware of every moment. We must be deliberate in our intentions and actions. We must sharpen our skills and be as powerful as possible. If we accept that death may strike at any moment, then we must also accept the possibility that every single decision that we make could be our last.A warrior is willing to die for every decision that he makes.
Are you willing to meet death with a bag of potato chips in your hand while watching an episode of the Kardashians? Are you willing to die choking on food that you were eating while gossiping about your co-workers?
A warrior’s death is a death that is a culmination of his life. But because he never knows when death will come, then every moment of his life must be a culmination. Every moment matters and there is no time to “kill.”
When you sleep, sleep with all of your heart. When you make breakfast, make it with all of your heart. When you take a s***, take it with all of your heart.
Death also puts our concerns into perspective. It reminds us that we are finite, and so are our problems. That job that you hate, that significant other that is driving you crazy, and that illness that is zapping your life away, all seem much smaller when you think of the end. In the face of death, all of our concerns are nothing but a flicker of a candle in the wind that is over before it even began.
Death also puts our relationships into perspective. When we deny death, we experience our relationships with others as burdensome. For example, suppose that you hate the fact that your romantic partner smacks their lips when they eat. Then you think about how you will have to hear them smack their lips for another five thousand times. Then you want to shoot yourself.
But if we accept the reality of death, then we treat every interaction with others as if it is our last. Suddenly the smacking lips seem insignificant, and they may even seem nostalgic and cute in light of death.
A legendary life is one lived so that one can smile in the face of death and its recounting of life.
Death is the final witness. All spiritual traditions — not to mention the accounts of millions of people who have had near-death experiences— teach us that at the moment of death, our life flashes before our eyes. Therefore if you wish to face death with courage, then you must live a life worth witnessing.
When your time comes, will you be able to look death in the eye and say: “I lived a true life!” Or, will you cower under its gaze? Don’t let your last thoughts be: “I have wasted my life!”
Let me offer a few examples:
There are two legendary historical figures have shaped my understanding of life more than anyone else: Thomas Paine and Friedrich Nietzsche.
Thomas Paine is one of the founding fathers of the United States. He spearheaded the American Revolution with his famous pamphlet Common Sense, which popularized the idea of independence from the British empire.
What most people don’t know is that the American Revolution was not enough for him. He went on to participate in the French revolution following the American one. He was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror and marked for death by guillotine. While rotting in his own filth of typhoid in this French prison, he wrote a book that changed my life called “the Age of Reason.” He managed to escape the guillotine by an accident of fate.
When he died many years later, his funeral was attended by only six people, in spite of his superhuman accomplishment. He was excommunicated by most of his contemporaries for criticizing their ownership of slaves, and for championing science over religion.
He never wavered in his values and the world is a better place because of it.
Friedrich Nietzsche was appointed as a University Professor at the age of 24, which was unheard of in his time. He was forced to flee academia soon after because his writing criticized the culture of his time for being superficial and conformist.
Later on, he had contracted several diseases during his service as a soldier and medic in the Prussian army. He suffered from daily migraines and was often bedridden and alone for months at a time. During the few hours in the day when he felt OK, he wrote his groundbreaking books that changed history.
Nietzsche readily sacrificed all of his opportunities for wealth, power, and sex in order to deliver his message. There are few thinkers in history who have had more influence on our time than him. He is considered to be the forefather of existentialism, psychoanalysis, and post-modernism.
You too can live like a warrior and die as a legend.
How we can live and die as legends:
We must re-examine the intention behind every action no matter how small or trivial. When we go through this process, we find that nearly all of our behaviors are driven by the desire for pleasure and the fear of pain/discomfort. We must abandon this reactive mentality and instead choose a fully proactive conscious life. A warrior is fully conscious of the intentions behind every action. We must dedicate every thought, feeling, and action to our highest selves, which will give us power. We can then use this power to manifest our purpose, whatever it may be. Kissing one’s son or daughter can be an act of power if it is done out of the pure intention to love unconditionally. A warrior gathers power with every action through his unyielding intent. Every action that we take can either reinforce old unconscious patterns or can be an opportunity for new and conscious patterns. Let’s take the decision to watch TV as an example. If you are a recovering alcoholic and the choice is between giving in to your cravings or watching your favorite TV show, then watching the TV show is an act of power. However, if you are someone who wastes a lot of time, and your choice is between watching TV and doing something more constructive, then watching TV is an act of weakness. A warrior constantly pushes against his growth edges. We must surrender the outcomes of our actions to our higher selves. If we expect a reward, praise, or glory from our actions, then we will be easily disappointed and remain slaves to the desire of others. A warrior takes action because he wishes to manifest his gifts in the world, and not because he seeks love, admiration, wealth, or fame.
Most of us live under the illusion that there is plenty of time to make changes in our lives. The truth is that we have no time.
If you want to manifest your inner greatness, then you must begin the journey of warriorship today.
Accept that your self-image is insignificant in the face of death.
Accept that your self-importance is petty in the face of death.
Accept that your need for control is ridiculous in the face of death.
Then new doors will open to you that you never thought possible.
That’s how you live a legendary life.

Its website features Microsoft founder Bill Gates on its front page and describes itself as a “collaboration between Bill Gates and Intellectual Ventures” a company founded by Nathan Myhrvold and Edward Jung of Microsoft. Wikipedia describes Intellectual Ventures in Gates’ home state as a private American company that “centers on the development and licensing of intellectual property” and “one of the top-five owners of U.S. patents, as of 2011.
“Its business model has a focus on buying patents and aggregating them into a large patent portfolio and licensing these patents to third parties,” according to Wikipedia. The company has been described as the country’s largest and most notorious patent trolling company, the ultimate patent troll, and the most hated company in tech.
The website of the Bill and Melinda Gates lists multiple grants awarded to develop the “microneedle array patch” – for use in “house-to-house campaigns via administration by minimally-trained personnel.”
The most recent grant for $370,035 was awarded in February, 2020 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for an MMR vaccine patch that does not require refrigeration and “enables house-to-house campaigns” via people without medical experience or training.
Bill Gates has awarded much larger grants for microneedle array patch technology to companies and organizations including:
* Vaxxas Pty Ltd in Brisbane, Queensland ($4.99 million in November, 2019) to develop a “microneedle array patch for measles and rubella vaccination that enables house-to-house campaigns via administration by minimally-trained personnel”
Vaxxas was created in 2011 after Mark Kendall’s research group at the University of Queensland commercialized the nanotechnology under the company, UniQuest. The company has raised more than $35 million for the nanotechnology. It’s partnered with vaccine manufacturer Merck – a company whose drug Vioxx caused more than 27,000 deaths by heart attack before the company revealed the risks it had hidden from the public. Merck has repeatedly been accused by judges for “egregious” ethical breaches and of “improper testing and data falsification” on its Gardasil HPV and MMR vaccines. Merck made
Micron Biomedical Inc ($6,744,906 in November, 2019) “to develop a microneedle array patch for measles and rubella vaccination that enables house-to-house campaigns via administration by minimally-trained personnel”
Georgia Institute of Technology ($958,849 in December, 2019) “to develop a microneedle array patch for measles and rubella vaccination that enables house-to-house campaigns via administration by minimally-trained personnel”
Vaxess Inc, ($2,967,741 in November, 2016) in Boston, MA “to support the preclinical development and manufacture of a thermostable microneedle patch with the aim of lowering barriers to vaccine access by simplifying dosing and administration, alleviating cold chain constraints, and lowering costs
Cardiff University ($$3,570,376 in December, 2019) “to develop a dissolvable microneedle array patch for the sustained dermal delivery of a progestin contraceptive, including the conduct of preclinical proof of concept studies”
Gates began funding the implantable biotechnology back in 2011 via a small ($100,000) grant to the Santa Cruz based company TransDerm Inc whose Linkedin page links to a website for the pharmaceutical giant Allergan.
Last month Reuters news service reported – falsely – that a popular Facebook post about Bill Gates planning to use microchip implants to fight the coronavirus pandemic was a “false claim.” The news service linked to the censored Facebook post.

thewakingtimes--2020-04-20--Attorney General Barr Blocks Release of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises to Victims’ Families

Attorney General Barr Blocks Release of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises to Victims ’ Families On Monday , U.S. Attorney General William Barr , acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell , and other senior officials called on a federal judge to prevent the disclosure of files related to the role of the government of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 attacks .
The officials told the judge in the civil case that the release of the files would endanger national security .
The files are being sought by families of the 9/11 victims who have spent the last two decades @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attacks .
The families filed a lawsuit in federal district court in New York in 2017 as part of their effort to uncover the role of the Saudi government .
What is publicly known is that the alleged 9/11 hijackers had a relationship with Saudi government officials .
As Pro Public reported , at the 2019 White House September 11 memorial , U.S. President Donald Trump promised the families he would help them uncover the truth about 9/11 .
He made similar promises while he was campaigning for president .
“ He looked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he shook our hands in the White House and said , ‘ I ’ m going to help you—it ’ s done ’ , ” Brett Eagleson , a banker whose father was killed in the World Trade Center , told Pro Publica .
“ I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing .
He ’ s too beholden to the Saudis.
” The Trump Administration stated that the national security threat was so great that even sharing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cause harm .
According to Pro Publica , AG Barr told the court that public discussion of the issue “ would reveal information that could cause the very harms my assertion of the state secrets privilege is intended to prevent.
” Pro Publica notes that four statements from FBI and Justice Department officials were also under seal and can not be seen by the public .
Another five statements from FBI , Justice Department , and CIA officials were only seen by the judge and could not even be shared with the families @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawyer for the families also suggested that “ there must be some deep , dark secret that they ’ re still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 year , ” and that it “ might be a Saudi government secret.
” The call for secrecy was questioned by three Senators who asked the Justice Department ’ s inspector general to investigate why the FBI has refused to release information about Saudi connections .
The information is being sought as part of a subpoena filed by the 9/11 families in 2018 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schumer of New York , and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut questioned the FBI ’ s decision to keep the files classified .
Barr stated that Justice Department guidelines set down by the Obama administration in 2009 prevented the government from asserting a state secrets claim as a method of concealing illegal behavior or embarrassing actions .

Attorney General Barr Blocks Release of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises to Victims’ Families
Derrick Broze, The Mind Unleashed
Waking Times
On Monday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell, and other senior officials called on a federal judge to prevent the disclosure of files related to the role of the government of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 attacks. The officials told the judge in the civil case that the release of the files would endanger national security.
The files are being sought by families of the 9/11 victims who have spent the last two decades attempting to uncover the truth about the attacks. The families filed a lawsuit in federal district court in New York in 2017 as part of their effort to uncover the role of the Saudi government. What is publicly known is that the alleged 9/11 hijackers had a relationship with Saudi government officials. As Pro Public reported, at the 2019 White House September 11 memorial, U.S. President Donald Trump promised the families he would help them uncover the truth about 9/11. He made similar promises while he was campaigning for president.
“He looked us in the eye on 9/11, he shook our hands in the White House and said, ‘I’m going to help you—it’s done’,” Brett Eagleson, a banker whose father was killed in the World Trade Center, told Pro Publica. “I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing. He’s too beholden to the Saudis.”
The Trump Administration stated that the national security threat was so great that even sharing the reasoning behind the request for secrecy could cause harm. According to Pro Publica, AG Barr told the court that public discussion of the issue “would reveal information that could cause the very harms my assertion of the state secrets privilege is intended to prevent.”
Pro Publica notes that four statements from FBI and Justice Department officials were also under seal and can not be seen by the public. Another five statements from FBI, Justice Department, and CIA officials were only seen by the judge and could not even be shared with the families’ lawyers. Steven Pounian, a lawyer for the families also suggested that “there must be some deep, dark secret that they’re still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 year,” and that it “might be a Saudi government secret.”
“But how can these be secrets that still need to be kept from the American people after all this time?” — Steven Pounian, attorney for the 9/11 victims families
The call for secrecy was questioned by three Senators who asked the Justice Department’s inspector general to investigate why the FBI has refused to release information about Saudi connections. The information is being sought as part of a subpoena filed by the 9/11 families in 2018. Senators Charles Grassley of Iowa, Charles Schumer of New York, and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut questioned the FBI’s decision to keep the files classified.
“The September 11 attacks represent a singular and defining tragedy in the history of our Nation. Nearly 20 years later, the 9/11 families and the American public still have not received the full and transparent accounting of the potential sources of support for those attacks to which they are entitled,” the senators wrote to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
Barr stated that Justice Department guidelines set down by the Obama administration in 2009 prevented the government from asserting a state secrets claim as a method of concealing illegal behavior or embarrassing actions. Barr told the judge that he believed these guidelines had been met. Unfortunately, in the absence of any further information the American public is resigned to trusting Barr, Trump, and anonymous FBI and CIA agents.
Unfortunately, William Barr does not have a record of trustworthy actions. As far back as 1989 Barr discussed his belief that the FBI could legally abduct people in foreign countries without the consent of the foreign government. The opinion was revealed in a leaked legal memo authored by Barr while he was serving as the head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). Barr chose to withhold the full memo and asked the public to trust his conclusion.
In the weeks after 9/11, when the U.S. government began to seize powers to roundup foreign citizens, spy on Americans, and torture anyone accused of terrorism, Newsweek noted that Barr had played a role in paving the way for such actions:
“Now the Bush administration and Congress seemed primed to do just about anything to foil future attacks. Justice Department lawyers have been told to take a fresh look at “everything,” one official said. Perhaps the most startling idea under examination would be a new presidential order authorizing secret military tribunals to try accused terrorists. The idea first occurred to former attorney general William Barr after the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. Barr, at the time chief of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, got the idea after learning that his office was used during World War II to try—in secret—German saboteurs who were later hanged. The idea was rejected, but it’s being revived on the theory that terrorists are de facto military “combatants” who don’t deserve the full run of constitutional rights.”
More recently, Barr has been involved in perpetuating the myth that encryption is a tool that only terrorists and dangerous criminals use and launching an “orwellian pre-crime program.” In October 2019, MintPress News reported that Barr had recently laid the groundwork for this new program:
“Indeed, since becoming Attorney General under President Trump, Barr has spearheaded numerous efforts to this end, including pushing for a government backdoor into consumer apps or devices that utilize encryption and for a dramatic increase of long-standing yet controversial warrantless electronic surveillance programs. On July 23rd, Barr gave the keynote address at the 2019 International Conference on Cyber Security (ICCS) and mainly focused on the need for consumer electronic products and applications that use encryption to offer a “backdoor” for the government, specifically law enforcement, in order to obtain access to encrypted communications as a matter of public safety.”
Barr would go on to issue a memorandum to all U.S. attorneys, law enforcement agencies, and high level Justice Department officials calling for the implementation of a new “national disruption and early engagement program” aimed at detecting potential mass shooters before they commit any crime. This memo called for the DOJ and FBI to “refine our ability to identify, assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike.” Barr called for the pre-crime program to be implemented in early 2020.
The blocking of state secrets related to the September 11 attacks is just the latest in a long line of cover ups and corrupt practices by Attorney General William Barr.

The United States Surgeon General Jerome Adams recently announced on live radio that the Coronavirus Task Force will be dropping old pandemic models from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) in favor of real-time statistics.
“What the American people need to know now is we actually have data, and so we’re tracking that data.” – Jerome Adams
As a result of this shift, some businesses are set to re-open in May, while others will have to wait until as late as June. This signals a departure from the Gates Fauci plan of keeping the nation under lockdown as long as possible.
Older models have predicted as many as a million deaths, which later were reduced to about 100,000-240,000, then again to 93,531, 81,766, and finally to the current number of 60,145 by August. That’s less than the number of people who died of the flu during the particularly bad season of 2017-2018.
Using these unreliable models, Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates have been threatening shutdowns of businesses for anywhere from six months to a year and until they can get the public inoculated with a new, minimally tested vaccine. Some experts have called this a “grossly disproportionate response”.
“We’re following this data every single day, and we’re giving that data to communities so that they can make informed and intelligent decisions about when and where to reopen,” Adams said.
Even a lift on federal bans would not allow every business to re-open as many states have added another layer of control over their respective economies.
“I feel confident that some places will start to reopen in May and June. Other places won’t; it will be piece by piece, bit by bit, but will be data-driven.”
There has been a lot of talk recently about not letting the “cure” be worse than the disease. Closing down businesses has drastically affected the economy and as a result, quarantine is driving many to drugs, domestic violence, and suicide.
“But when it comes to suicide, all factors are pushing in the same direction now.

We Are Ruled By Wizards

We Are Ruled By Wizards Bending reality is as simple as bending people ’ s perception of reality .
Throughout history , the mythology of civilizations around the world has been full of tales of men and women who mastered a mysterious , esoteric art which enabled them to use language in a way that bends reality to their will .
They ’ ve been called wizards , witches , magicians , sorcerers , warlocks or enchanters , and the utterances they speak have been known as spells , magic , incantations , conjurations or enchantments , but the theme @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : a member of a small elite group with the ability to voice special utterances which shape reality according to their will in a way that transcends the mundane mechanics of this world .
People have long held a general intuition that language holds a power far beyond what ordinary mortals use it for , especially since the advent of the written word which was long mysterious to all but the most elite classes in a given society .
This intuition has been spot on , though perhaps not exactly in the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I say “ Bending reality is as simple as bending people ’ s perception of reality , ” I ’ m not making some sort of mystical or otherworldly claim ; I ’ m just making a factual observation about the influence that narrative control has over events big and small which transpire in our world .
Many people whose brains lack a healthy empathy center–i.e .
sociopaths , psychopaths and other narcissists–already understand this on some level .
Humans are storytelling creatures ; everything about our understanding of the world is made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ language .
“ My name ’ s Alice and I was born in Detroit ” is a narrative .
“ The universe is 13.772 billion years old ” is a narrative .
“ If I drink that bottle of bleach I ’ ll probably die ” is a narrative .
Narratives don ’ t need to be based on any objective fact at all .
“ I can fly by flapping my arms ” is a narrative .
“ God says you should mail me ten percent of your income ” is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ free democracy and everything you read in The New York Times is an accurate representation of reality ” is a narrative .
Ordinary people use language and narratives to understand and connect with each other , so they tend to favor narratives that are true .
People who lack healthy empathy centers have no interest in understanding or connecting beyond the extent to which it can get them what they want , so they ’ ll happily use lies , half-truths , distortions and lies by omission to obtain power , control , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is they ’ re after .
They have a completely different relationship with language and narrative than people with healthy empathy centers , and they learn to exploit that difference .
Anyone who has escaped from a relationship with a manipulator will have an experiential understanding of what I ’ m talking about here .
You start off under the mistaken impression that the abusive partner uses language the same way you do , so you keep trying to use it to form an understanding and connection , but it ’ s like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ twisted and used against you in a way you can ’ t really keep up with .
You are fed narratives about yourself which have no bearing on reality : “ You ’ re crazy ” , “ You ’ re not remembering things correctly ” , “ You ’ re dishonest ” , “ I ’ m not abusing you , you ’ re abusing me ” , etc .
You are fed narratives about your abuser which have no bearing on reality : “ I ’ m the only one who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I ’ m too nice , that ’ s my problem ” , “ I ’ m the real victim here ” , etc .
When you escape from such a relationship it ’ s common to have to spend months or years afterward sorting out fact from fiction , reality from narrative distortion .
Depending on the skill of the manipulator and how long you were with them , they may have inserted some very disorienting beliefs deep inside your consciousness in order to control you , and they can take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Large-scale manipulation of entire populations works more or less the same way small-scale manipulation of individuals does , and unlike abusive partners who have to more or less figure out their infernal art on their own , there ’ s been a concerted collaborative effort to refine the science of propaganda for well over a century .
Our world is set up in a way that rewards sociopathy with wealth and power , which means adept manipulators tend to rise to the top in business , government , and media .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were concerning themselves with learning the truth and forming connections , those in our world with no interest in such things have been engineering power structures to reward a lack of empathy .
People who are willing to manipulate narratives toward their advantage without regard for truth or justice rise above those who aren ’ t in such systems .
We now therefore find ourselves ruled by those who use language not to connect and understand , but to bend reality according to their will .
We are ruled , in a sense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treasure are poured into controlling the dominant narratives in our society as they relate to those in power and what they want to achieve .
The government is your friend .
The news man is trustworthy .
You live in a democracy and your countrymen can influence government policy and behavior by voting .
That bad guy in that other country needs to be taken out .
Those people telling you we ’ re lying are Russian propaganda and need to be censored .
The spells are cast , and before you know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sanctions are implemented , the dissident is censored , the journalist is jailed , the political leader has been installed , the consent has been manufactured .
Reality has been bent by simply using language to bend people ’ s perception of reality .
The more powerful the government , the more skillful the wizards .
Chomsky once said that “ Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the US media.

The good news is that this kind of word magic is not only accessible to esoteric masters reciting incantations from the pages of a dusty grimoire ( which interestingly has the same etymological root as the word “ grammar ” ) .
Anyone who understands malleable nature of narrative is capable of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the wool over the eyes of the rank-and-file public day in and day out , and can advance narratives that are based on facts and reality rather than lies and distortions .
You can be a wizard too .
You can use language to influence the world by pushing back against the narratives spouted by the establishment spellcasters .
The better you understand the nature of narrative and its all-pervading role in our consciousness and our society , the better a wizard you can be .
Pay attention not just to the large-scale @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the small-scale narratives believed by yourself as well .
Find out what subtle stories you ’ ve been holding onto even in the darkest recesses of your subconscious mind which have been bending your perception of reality in a way which does not benefit you .
If you want to master narrative wizardry , you must first attain mastery over its role in your own operating system .
Put truth first always , in all ways .
Set the intention to use your healthy empathy center to connect , to understand , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to whom you speak , and with yourself .
The more lucid you become in this way , the more potent your linguistic magic will grow .

Bending reality is as simple as bending people’s perception of reality.
Throughout history, the mythology of civilizations around the world has been full of tales of men and women who mastered a mysterious, esoteric art which enabled them to use language in a way that bends reality to their will. They’ve been called wizards, witches, magicians, sorcerers, warlocks or enchanters, and the utterances they speak have been known as spells, magic, incantations, conjurations or enchantments, but the theme is always more or less the same: a member of a small elite group with the ability to voice special utterances which shape reality according to their will in a way that transcends the mundane mechanics of this world.
People have long held a general intuition that language holds a power far beyond what ordinary mortals use it for, especially since the advent of the written word which was long mysterious to all but the most elite classes in a given society. This intuition has been spot on, though perhaps not exactly in the way that ancient mythologies have envisioned.
When I say “Bending reality is as simple as bending people’s perception of reality,” I’m not making some sort of mystical or otherworldly claim; I’m just making a factual observation about the influence that narrative control has over events big and small which transpire in our world. Many people whose brains lack a healthy empathy center–i.e. sociopaths, psychopaths and other narcissists–already understand this on some level.
Humans are storytelling creatures; everything about our understanding of the world is made up of narratives that are made of language. “My name’s Alice and I was born in Detroit” is a narrative. “The universe is 13.772 billion years old” is a narrative. “If I drink that bottle of bleach I’ll probably die” is a narrative.
Narratives don’t need to be based on any objective fact at all. “I can fly by flapping my arms” is a narrative. “God says you should mail me ten percent of your income” is a narrative. “You live in a free democracy and everything you read in The New York Times is an accurate representation of reality” is a narrative.
Ordinary people use language and narratives to understand and connect with each other, so they tend to favor narratives that are true. People who lack healthy empathy centers have no interest in understanding or connecting beyond the extent to which it can get them what they want, so they’ll happily use lies, half-truths, distortions and lies by omission to obtain power, control, money, sex, or whatever it is they’re after. They have a completely different relationship with language and narrative than people with healthy empathy centers, and they learn to exploit that difference.
Anyone who has escaped from a relationship with a manipulator will have an experiential understanding of what I’m talking about here. You start off under the mistaken impression that the abusive partner uses language the same way you do, so you keep trying to use it to form an understanding and connection, but it’s like your words just get turned around and twisted and used against you in a way you can’t really keep up with. You are fed narratives about yourself which have no bearing on reality: “You’re crazy”, “You’re not remembering things correctly”, “You’re dishonest”, “I’m not abusing you, you’re abusing me”, etc. You are fed narratives about your abuser which have no bearing on reality: “I’m the only one who’ll ever love you”, “I’m too nice, that’s my problem”, “I’m the real victim here”, etc.
When you escape from such a relationship it’s common to have to spend months or years afterward sorting out fact from fiction, reality from narrative distortion. Depending on the skill of the manipulator and how long you were with them, they may have inserted some very disorienting beliefs deep inside your consciousness in order to control you, and they can take a lot of work to uproot.
Large-scale manipulation of entire populations works more or less the same way small-scale manipulation of individuals does, and unlike abusive partners who have to more or less figure out their infernal art on their own, there’s been a concerted collaborative effort to refine the science of propaganda for well over a century.
Our world is set up in a way that rewards sociopathy with wealth and power, which means adept manipulators tend to rise to the top in business, government, and media. This is no accident: while ordinary healthy people were concerning themselves with learning the truth and forming connections, those in our world with no interest in such things have been engineering power structures to reward a lack of empathy. People who are willing to manipulate narratives toward their advantage without regard for truth or justice rise above those who aren’t in such systems.
We now therefore find ourselves ruled by those who use language not to connect and understand, but to bend reality according to their will. We are ruled, in a sense, by wizards.
Vast troves of treasure are poured into controlling the dominant narratives in our society as they relate to those in power and what they want to achieve. The government is your friend. The news man is trustworthy. You live in a democracy and your countrymen can influence government policy and behavior by voting. That bad guy in that other country needs to be taken out. Those people telling you we’re lying are Russian propaganda and need to be censored.
The spells are cast, and before you know it the bombers are deployed, the sanctions are implemented, the dissident is censored, the journalist is jailed, the political leader has been installed, the consent has been manufactured. Reality has been bent by simply using language to bend people’s perception of reality.
The more powerful the government, the more skillful the wizards. Chomsky once said that “Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the US media.” Narrative spells are cooked up by wizards in opaque intelligence agencies and uncritically regurgitated in anonymously sourced news reports, and before you know it Saddam has weapons of mass destruction, Russia is attacking American democracy and China cooked up the coronavirus in a Wuhan laboratory, and as always please know that the status quo is normal and is totally working great for everyone.
The good news is that this kind of word magic is not only accessible to esoteric masters reciting incantations from the pages of a dusty grimoire (which interestingly has the same etymological root as the word “grammar”). Anyone who understands malleable nature of narrative is capable of fighting back against the enchantments which pull the wool over the eyes of the rank-and-file public day in and day out, and can advance narratives that are based on facts and reality rather than lies and distortions.
You can be a wizard too. You can use language to influence the world by pushing back against the narratives spouted by the establishment spellcasters.
The better you understand the nature of narrative and its all-pervading role in our consciousness and our society, the better a wizard you can be. Pay attention not just to the large-scale narratives believed by masses of people, but the small-scale narratives believed by yourself as well. Find out what subtle stories you’ve been holding onto even in the darkest recesses of your subconscious mind which have been bending your perception of reality in a way which does not benefit you. If you want to master narrative wizardry, you must first attain mastery over its role in your own operating system.
Put truth first always, in all ways. Set the intention to use your healthy empathy center to connect, to understand, and to be honest: with those to whom you speak, and with yourself.
The more lucid you become in this way, the more potent your linguistic magic will grow. Narrative control is too important to be left to the manipulators, propagandists, liars and sociopaths.
See through the illusion. Shine truth on the lies.
You’re a wizard, Harry.
