“Always consider the qualifications of anyone who assumes or professes authority, what do they really know? Authorities on spirituality can rarely give a half coherent explanation of what they persuade us to believe they know. They achieve authority by stage management and then exploit audience suggestibility. Same old trick they have pulled for thousands of years.”

“Great traders are astute observers.”

“A competent magician should have the ability to stand still at a bus stop with closed eyes and have the entire universe disappear apart from a single blazing visualized sigil or muttered spell.”

“Drugs have a long history of use in magic in various cultures, and usually in the context of either ecstatic communal rituals or in personal vision quests. However compared to people in simple pastoral tribal situations most people in developed countries now live in a perpetual state of mental hyperactivity with overactive imaginations anyway, so throwing drugs in on top of this usually just leads to confusion and a further loss of focus.

Plus as the real Shamans say, if you really do succeed in opening a door with a drug it will thereafter open at will and most such substances give all they will ever give on the first attempt.”

“There is no part of one’s beliefs about oneself which cannot be modified by sufficiently powerful psychological techniques. There is nothing about oneself which cannot be taken away or changed. The proper stimuli can, if correctly applied, turn communists into fascists, saints into devils, the meek into heroes, and vice-versa. There is no sovereign sanctuary within ourselves which represents our real nature. There is nobody at home in the internal fortress. Everything we cherish as our ego, everything we believe in, is just what we have cobbled together out of the accident of our birth and subsequent experiences. With drugs, brainwashing, and other techniques of extreme persuasion, we can quite readily make a man a devotee of a different ideology, the patriot of a different country, or the follower of a different religion.”

“It is a mistake to consider any belief more liberated than another. It is the possibility of change which is important. Every new form of liberation is destined to eventually become another form of enslavement for most of its adherents. There is no freedom from duality on this plane of existence, but one may at least aspire to choice of duality.”

“When you risk nothing you lose everything by default. Safety is the most dangerous delusion ever invented. The man who never risks his heart never has one, never risks his mind never uses it. The soul that will not leap cannot fly, and flying requires the terrifying possibility of falling, which means your fear of failure is actually your fear of being alive”

Trading gives you an incredibly intense feeling of what life is all about.

Too much thinking actually ruins everything; the real test of intelligence is to figure out how to stop thinking once enough has been planned, too many "smart" people are so logical and rational that they end up too disconnected from their own emotions, their relationships suffer because they can't relate to others anymore (although they are somehow convinced they have human psychology figured out), they don't see the point of doing anything even slightly "foolish," they end up unhappy because they were too "smart" for their own good.

Whatever future you're working for, kick it up a few notches.

Strive for a bit more income, better health, and a better relationship than you're thinking of right now.

If you can notch up your expectations of yourself even by 10%, the difference in your life is remarkable.

You’ll never know what you’re truly capable of until you push past the edge of your comfort zone.

Stretch your limits—and watch them expand.

When my mouth speaks what it should swallow, let it learn silence as sustenance. When my words tear deeper than I intended, I won't take them back, the bleeding proves something needed opening. When my tongue stumbles over truth, good, smooth liars never saved anyone. When I want to curse them, let me bless them instead, same breath, different spirit. When my voice shakes with rage, don't steady it, trembling prophets speak what calm men cannot. When my mouth wants to devour, teach it to feed others first, same hunger, different target

Whoever stares into water seeking his own reflection will drown in his own image, because the man who falls in love with himself falls in love with an illusion, and illusions demand worship but give nothing back. you will spend your life feeding a mirror that can never feed you, loving a shadow that can never love you, serving a god that is only you. Now you're beautiful and completely alone, and the water only shows you what you've become, not what you've lost

It’s imperative to make time every day for silence, stillness, slowing down and going within.

That’s where all of the instructions are. Both the unique instructions for you personally and the collective instructions for the planetary awakening.

If the entire purpose of the system is to utterly depress you physically, spiritually, and morally, then the greatest revolt against it is unhinged optimism towards our own side. We need to cultivate a space of optimistic dreamers who pursue their dreams with pure tenacity.

NEVER DOOM.

Love is the alchemy that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, the mundane into the sacred, and the soul into its truest expression.

Freedom doesn’t meant life always feels good.
It means you are no longer trapped in reaction to how it feels.

The more you build routines, habits, and systems that support your
mental, physical, and emotional well-being,
the better you'll trade. And the better you'll feel.

Performance and peace of mind go hand in hand.

If it doesn’t bring you peace, profit or purpose,

don’t give it your time, energy and attention.

I create because I expect God to show up in my hands, because I believe something impossible will happen when I arrange these words, when I shape this clay, when I birth this thought that never existed before, and every time I begin something new I am betting my life that the universe will conspire with me, that what lives in my chest will somehow translate to what lives in yours, and I have been wrong a thousand times but I keep expecting miracles because creation is not about skill it is about audacity, it is about demanding that matter obey spirit, and I will die expecting the impossible
