The reality is this:

Whilst Elon Musk fantasises about terraforming Mars with his 1 trillion dollar wealth projection, he simultaneously falls for the trap of ideology, entertaining the notion that politics, money, and power will solve the world’s problems—much like the viewpoint held by the vast majority on this planet. People view this world as a literal soap opera. Our culture is a prison that takes us out of our bodies and sells our loyalty into narrow ideological boxes, political systems, religions, and inanimate objects and machines.

The problems of the world are ALL fundamentally a consciousness problem. Most of this planet is driven by the unconscious mind and the lust for power. Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. One is the shadow of the other. These so-called "leaders" are oblivious to their own unconscious drives and sense of entitlement through the ego, not the self.

Humans as a species are currently enduring a self-identity crisis. We have become entangled and trapped by our culture and ideologies to the point where the felt presence of immediate experience is lost and the human ego is elevated beyond its rightful place. The path forward isn’t through technological domination, political games, or the accumulation of wealth, but through a deep shift in consciousness. Only by awakening to a broader awareness beyond our ego-driven desires can we break free from the systems that currently trap us.

Don’t let ideology blind you to the fact that both Iran and Israel have killed children; these nations are far from innocent. The second you choose a side, you alienate the other and enter the blame game. The signs are there for us to see: each of us needs to grapple internally with what we face in order to change this world for the better. While we contemplate whether or not AI can become conscious, we miss the question nature is projecting to us: can we? Israel’s name in Hebrew literally means "one who struggles with God." Is this a coincidence or reality?

The real revolution and change we seek is internal—it’s not about escaping to Mars, but about returning to the heart, to love, and to the wisdom that can only emerge when we confront the unconscious forces within us and transcend the ego and the notion of 'self,' as Jesus, Buddha, and, in my opinion, even Jung seemed to do.

Look at the picture below. This is us. If an asteroid were headed toward Earth, how would we react? Would the death of innocent civilians and children be worth it? Would our obsession with dominance, power, and control be worth it? We collectively change the world—every single person. When you embrace the beauty of your subjectivity and true being, you become a messenger and beacon for others to follow.

Spread the #Love.

These Mastermind discussions with nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z, nostr:npub1s9z7pwy96thwt7zvmrlpfnddstezxxphx9rx3m0660sgkwld9eescjnszc, and nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs are some of my favorite conversations of the year.

Just four dudes sitting around, talking about life, the economy, #Bitcoin, Blackrock, scams, price targets... and whatever else Preston brings up.

Strong recommend that you pour yourself a beverage, put the discussion on, and enjoy the conversation with us.

Also, tune in to find out why I think nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs will lose his #bitcoin bet and have to eat a pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving.

Glad to have you back Dr. Jeff…Can’t wait to listen

What if you always knew exactly what to do in any given moment, from the small to the large things, and what if you could arrive upon that conviction effortlessly… without even trying?

What would that unlock for your productivity?

The answer is likely quite profound.

But sadly, most of us spend more of our time experiencing that horrible feeling of not being able to decide.

We’re stuck swinging between decisions, in one moment thinking we’ve made up our mind, then later realizing that we haven’t.

We’re torn between two paths that feel completely at odds, never landing decisively on one side or the other.

But what if the problem isn’t with the decision itself? What if the problem is with our decision-making process in general?

See, most of us rely on an analytical, deliberate form of decision-making, which blocks us from making decisions in a more effortless and intuitive way.

According to psychologist Daniel Kahneman, there are two modes of thinking:

System One is automatic, fast, and effortless.

This is Intuition.

System Two is conscious, logical, and slow.

This is Deliberation.

The problem is that we tend to over-index on System 2, which slows us down, increases stress, and degrades performance.

But what if there was a way to tap into the high-level intuitive thinking of flow, even outside of the flow state?

Well, there is.

It’s called flow-based decision-making.

Flow-based decision-making allows you to apply the fast, flawless intuition of flow to everyday choices.

It's the perfect blend of System One and System Two, leveraging your subconscious while also getting the most out of your conscious mind.

The result? You make more decisions, make them faster, and make them better, without expending unnecessary cognitive energy.

This isn't about randomly going with your gut or making rash decisions. Flow-based decision-making requires rigor, prep, and diligence at its outset so you can harness subconscious processing and intuition.

When you master this approach, you'll stop getting trapped in endless analysis, move rapidly from insight to action, and feel a calm confidence in your choices.

So how do you unlock this superpower? It starts with a step-by-step process to give your subconscious a clear target and recruit its vast processing power.

Here's the step-by-step process to master flow-based decision-making:

Step 1 – Give Your Subconscious a Target

The first stage of flow-based decision-making is to give your subconscious a clear target. This involves separating the symptom from the problem:

Drill down to the root problem, not just the surface-level task.

Lingering with the problem before jumping to solutions:

Rushing to a solution bypasses the essential "incubation period" where your subconscious mind processes the problem.

Step 2 – Recruit the Silent Operator

Once you've defined the root problem, it's time to recruit your subconscious—what psychologist Timothy Wilson calls the "silent operator."

This rapid-response unit excels in pattern recognition and can process 400 billion bits of information per second.

To leverage this processing power, externalize the problem by writing it down.

This moves the information from your short-term to your long-term memory and activates your Reticular Activating System (RAS), which prioritizes the information.

Then surrender control and let the incubation process take over by stepping away from the problem.

It helps to engage in lightly stimulating activities that induce transient hypofrontality, a temporary downregulation of the prefrontal cortex.

Step 3 – Extract the Juice from Your Subconscious

After the incubation period, it's time to extract the solutions from your subconscious.

Sit down and start writing down solutions to the problem you previously defined. Usually, after a minute or two of writing, the answers will start pouring through.

As you master this flow-based decision-making process, you'll begin to find the idea of deliberately sitting down to solve problems laughable.

The thought of consciously exerting effort to solve a problem will seem silly compared to the speed, effectiveness, and enjoyment of leveraging your intuition.

You'll also experience the "cognitive bias high"—making decisions that rise above cognitive biases, guided by pure, unadulterated flow-based intuition.

You now understand how to leverage the hardware your biology gives you to turn your brain into a problem-solving supercomputer.

This means you'll stop getting trapped in endless analysis.

No more self-doubt eroding your confidence. You move rapidly from insight to action, making the right call at the right time.

Through flow-based decision-making, you'll feel a calm confidence in your choices and conserve cognitive resources for where they matter most.

To your pristine clarity,

The phone will run over the new p2p internet . This new protocol is jokingly referred to as “Web 5” (Jack Dorsey) . It is 85% complete and is scheduled to be finished in the next 6-12 months. It works on a global node network (just like bitcoin). Therefore, the service cannot crash or be successfully stopped. Best part of all the phone service will be free.! 🤩

Here are some resources to learn more about this emerging new internet.

Ralph Waldo once said:

‘Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with ALL your might. Put your WHOLE soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active. Be energetic. Be enthusiastic and faithful and you will accomplish your objective. NOTHING great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.’
