How to Master Your Dark Side - Robert Greene on the Laws of Human Nature

[@JakeJsForDays]

Developing emotional control Don’t just react Fear: step back, analyze where the fear comes from and why Death: (source of all fear) we must confront death and think about our mortality in physical terms to give yourself urgency and deepen your appreciation for life Depression: body and mind effect each other. Unhealthy body equals unhealthy mind. Move as much as possible, walk, run, work out, be active! Anxiety’s: think longer term, where do I want to be in 3-5 years? Assess where you are heading. Asses your patterns and where they’re leading. Boredom: use it constructively! Develop a rich mind, don’t use external distractions. Become okay with alone time, and try to read a wide variety of books. Especially books on philosophy.

If you got a strong mindset and glow with strength and faith then other people will adapt. so fear will be gone. use fear as motivator to work on the areas you are struggling. remember it doesn't mean that you are a cold hearted jerk. it means that you can handle situations that are uncomfortable and that will only benefit you instead of fearing and worrying all the time which destroys you and others around.

True darkness is not the absence of light, but the fear that the light may never return. Hope is what begins in the dark. Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. Hope is the only thing stronger than fear 🖖

[@Functional_fitness_eltham]

I don't agree, hope is rather blind, it is an inactive state. The way out of darkness is understanding, understanding that we are as bad as we are good. It is understanding, noticing and feeling that will make you resistant to terrible truths. To me hope is the state of an infantile, the thought that there is no direct line of action to instigate succes

[@Functional_fitness_eltham]

Dividing "intelligence" into many types of it is bullshit... there is GENERAL intelligence or IQ and then there is all the things people want to divide GENERAL intelligence into, but a person who is truly intelligent in GENERAL INTELLIGENCE is good in all other aspects of it. Has the capacity for it. It may be that what you're referring to is "socialisation", where it is important to have emotional control and empathy or just no the a sociopath.

[@TheAmaraHorton]

I’ve seen a variety of mental health professionals, from social workers as a child to the Chief of Psychiatry. The only one that ever gave me any relief and made the difference in alleviating my complex and chronic PTSD... a Chiropractor: An advanced, learned healer that understands the mind, body connection and actively promotes non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical therapeutic interventions that have been shown to be effective in healing all levels of trauma through regulating the nervous system. Exercise, Flexibility, Mobility, Meditation, Deep Breathing, Journaling. My Chiropractor brought it all together with compassion and care. Like Therapy with a Doctor. But for some reason, the field seems ridiculed and downplayed by our Western Health Care System. Why? I hope it’s not related to money. I just wish more people with trauma of any form knew the power of the nervous system. And the golden nugget that is Chiro. Talk therapy and medication are available BUT there are other options available.

Chiro is ridiculed because of the “cracking” that some of them employ as a cure all.

So my rationalizing and understanding my own mortality by confronting it has only made me more anxious in moments that I'm not able to do the positive things that I need to do. It makes me more jaded that so many years were stolen from me thru abuse and systemic unnecessary restriction/oppression/confinement.. which also stole from my children.. When I get returns on my massive effort(s) to overcome the hardships, abuses, vicissitudes, challenges, straight up evils done to myself and my children in this life is the only time I don't feel the horrendous anxiety and lower self worth. Which I know is a problem... that is why I am searching w/any spare second I have to improve myself/outlook... I know other people have suffered unjustly and greatly... I want to overcome it, not commiserate or compare. I just want better from myself and returns on my efforts (making my affect/feeling of my existence an increment better while doing so). I just don't have enough time to make up for what has been stolen 4xs over. Starting over yet again in my 40s is a difficult enough task.. I'd like to not make it any harder than it has been or worse, absolute hell.

I’m very much so emotional. Which had always been there - before healing - the negative emotion stemmed from rejection, emotional manipulation (for financial agendas or for my affections which I would withhold from my parental figures because I was often mad or disappointed in them for the emotional irresponsibility I recognized and so early on I knew they couldn’t give me what I needed in the gentle way I had desired and I’d have to get it on my own or hard way - at nearly 7 I had this understanding - but they were kids at 16 with a kid - me - it was kids raising kids- I was immure and saw them as unfit or unworthy at that age) lies, no stability (emotional/home/uprooted often) and suppression of self (when I already felt different) and early understanding of the concept of death during childhood. - frustrated, disgusted and angry for 75% of my current life - up until recently (the last couple years). I learned early that nothing happens the way we want it to but we will attain what we need - nothing is ever ideal - I couldn’t accept that imperfection and lack of control for the longest time. The internal alchemical process of emotional - to convert them to a usable form for whatever one is trying to achieve ex: mold square to put square in square hole - difficult to explain when you’re one who understands the world by feeling. I’ve never felt like I wasn’t whole. I’ve felt alone - learning to be alone and okay alone is something that’s always been there - which is nice. Anything beyond that is just a nice want - or bonus. It’s just a cool trinket of human experience for experience. The events that occur me in my life and only affect me - give people around me stress - seeing how I handle those events gives them anxiety. Just understanding. All is okay understanding why’s and how’s. How can one even be upset? My mother, just yesterday, stated at me “I didn’t raise you like this” in regards to not being ever worried. Me : “No my lass you didn’t.” - theres a beyond concept to it all. She’s so cute though when she’s like that. 😭

I went into a deep well of despair after a couple of incidents in my life, went way too far in to those thoughts to where one night I could feel the damage it was causing my body, specifically my heart, my blood pressure.. For the first time I could touch the hurt, and pain I was causing myself, let alone others.. I went into psychosis once I noticed that physical damage, it struck a certain fear in me, mortal fear, you realize this isn't just a ride, and it'll just work out, no matter how irresponsible you are with yourself, you're not immortal and a self destructive lifestyle is much more terrifying than any of us are willing to fulfill.. as much as we think we want the end.. it actually kinda sucks.. lol.. I spiraled into madness shortly after. The fear of death is ultimately the basis of all your fears, if you weren't afraid of its impact you would just live life.. as it is.. Luckily it ended, mostly, after a month.. The scary thing was going day to day thinking it would never end.. Imo, Psychosis is worse than death.. It is Hell, let me ensure you, Hell isn't waiting for you after death, it's right there, in the back of mind, if just you let door open a bit. I try not to bother with those emotions anymore, the negative ones, literally wave them away.. Its okay to feel negativity tho, if its still there, it just means you're being realistic about things.. just don't be obsessive. Those thoughts can and will kill you. One way or the other. If that's where that frame of mind ultimately leads you, Hell unto Death, then I'll do my best to keep them out of my life.

Talk about this subject quite a bit (great book by Robert Greene, by the way), but the simple way to look at it, is to: 1) break free of all desires. Best way to do that is removing yourself from stimuli 2) You’ll start to grow agitated from the lack of stimulation (which is building up rudeboy energy) 3) pick 1 task or central goal you’d like to attack / conquer 4) block all possibility of interruptions (phone, people drawing on you with their idle chatter / white noise, tv etc.) 5) walk those demons on a leash by tapping into your badmind ting mood and not thinking twice or hesitating This will give you 10,000 volts of pure power and put you into god mode (which dark spirits are unable to penetrate because goodmind spirit is daddy to demons) 💯

Your point regarding the environment (desert vs. jungle) added a layer of depth for the bible's migration of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. Physically, it provided an environment that was self-sustainable - rather than relying upon external, imported goods that was easily perishable over long distances via trade routes. Mentally, a jungle (and it's ecosystem) provided a variety of stimuli to be observed, and spark curiosity - which ultimately sparks the desire to question, experiment and understand in order to occupy the boredom.

But because I stepped back, I realised all that is silly paranoia from subconscious intelligence (all happened in about 2 seconds, from healthy pressure to 'aargh!', when in reality i just needed to load the washing machine before i left. My life wasn't falling apart at all. It still gets me sometimes, but i'm getting better and talking myself through it. As far as i can tell, you have to basically parent yourself.

Thank Yiu!

[@RayWalker-pythonic]

Agreed except for the point about "It'll give you a sense of urgency." I've found, at 63 years of age and confronting mortality many times, letting go of any sense of urgency to do anything has been the greatest benefit. Urgency comes from the perpetual feeling that one must be productive. There is no reason to think that the life well led is completing a list of goals; the insistent to accomplish something. I find it better to operate as if there is no time, no goals, and to realize accomplishment is not actually fulfilling (i.e. doing is different than accomplishment. Doing is a process, accomplishment is a set endpoint of a process. The process is rewarding when it has no anticipated endpoint.). That's what I learned from facing mortality: quit watching the clock, and as Charles Bukowski admonished us, stop trying.

"Oh I could lose my job, I might end up on the streets, I might freeze to death, well whatever it's not like having a life or being alive meant anything to me in the first place" Edit: Should clarity I do 5-6 intense hour+ workouts a week and eat quite well. Physically I'm in tip top shape. Depression started when I was still biking to class and everywhere else every day in university. It's not that easy to just say be active.

Your view of death is not the only view and not the most effective answer to it... consider: you have NEVER known a moment when you did not exist and its not actually possible for you to EVER know such a moment... this realization that you are as immortal as it will ever matter completely alters the view of death... it is not something YOU will ever experience. Fear is anticipation of pain or failure. since you can never experience death, there is no rational reason to fear it... more importantly you are now free to focus on the present, the only time you are actually existing. in the present you have at minimum two options... accept that THIS is the perfection of energies in motion, neither good nor evil, just real and this acceptance will bring serenity, or you can reject this moment and demand it be something it obviously is not and suffer.... Acceptance does not mean inaction, but rather playing the hand you are dealt rather then being miserable over the hand you think you should have been dealt. From here every move is a gamble to some degree, play the hand you are dealt with your best skill and no cause for regret will arise.

love this so much. "you are as immortal as it will ever matter". heres my question. if we lived 10,000 years instead of 100 years, that would feel better (if our lives were mostly positive). so it does sort of make sense to be afraid of existence stopping, if we like existing

[@jiohdi]

@@sunofx4142 fear is anticipation of pain or failure and if you use it correctly as such you can avoid both... so have at it.

Thank you very much, I'll try

[@dracolich9337]

I can sort of hold it inside without breaking through but not for long and it gets stuck and I feel like baloon that is ready to blow up trying to hold it back. Doesn'tsimply disappear.

[@dracolich9337]

If I continue to do it that way I'm afraid I'll end up with a locked heart but I have no idea how to step back without locking it up

If what you need to be happy is always someone or something more than what you already possess, how will you ever obtain it? Be mindful. This present moment is all we have. Never live in the anxieties of the future or the regrets of the past least you fail to recognize the only thing you actually have, this very moment. Realizing this means your happiness is no longer relative to anything. Allowing anxiety to be relinquished and regrets abolished. He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.
