Hey G,
EVERYTHING IS AN ILLUSION - ATTACHMENT, LOVE, FEELINGS & STATUS
Whenever you look back at your lowest moments, it was likely a matter of perspective and not enough time having passed to see the situation clearly.
That woman you loved, the one you had deep feelings for and were willing to do everything for, was just a result of your imagination.
Years later, you realized she wasn’t as special as you thought.
Entertaining positive thoughts about a woman will eventually lead you to put her on a pedestal.
When you understand that attachment, love, and feelings are just chemical reactions priming you for your duty, you realize they are just two sides of the same coin.
The illusion that you have as much control as you think you do.
Should this limit you?
No.
Now that you understand this, you can take a step back and accept that whatever you feel is just a mirage.
You can detach yourself from it.
You are also less prone to manipulation, and you can manipulate better if you wish.
People who are unaware of the fleeting sensations behind these illusions are more vulnerable to them when triggered by someone who is aware.
You are now free to enjoy someone living under that illusion and fantasy, providing you with what you wish and want, given you provide the right incentives.
People like to think they are different, but advertisers know better.
They will act when the right opportunity presents itself.
You are not special, but you can use this to your advantage by making others believe you are.
This is what Status is => the illusion that you are above your peers, while in reality, you are quite similar as a human being. You just happened to maximize in one area better than others.
The more in control you are of your emotions and ego, the more powerful you can be.
Master perception = Master other people’s realities = Master your outcomes.
It is when you don’t love a girl that you have the upper hand with her.
It is when you don’t care about others' opinions that people view you differently.
It is when you feel free to do or say what you want that people flock to you.
Detachment from what people hold dear puts you above the rest because you reached another level.
Not caring is the ultimate sign of Status, meaning you discard what you think you are owed => love, attachment, good feelings.
Not needing or seeking these will make people want to give them to you.
It is because you are in lack that you don’t get what you want.
People are empty and seek substance in others.
What they do to get it is the illusion you must not get trapped into because then the power shift occurs.
Substance can be on the surface (looks, money, status), but in the end, it is what is within you that will draw them to you in the long run.
Master the illusion you convey to them, and watch them act accordingly.
