The Illimitable Men blog is officially retired (and to be honest, has been informally for quite some time now). That being said, I have launched a new blog where I will publishing my writings now (you can think of as a sort of IM v2) Introducing to you... The Sovereign Citadel.
Helping others is helping yourself by learning through how you teach. It’s like their problems are unlock keys for various rooms inside the palace of your mind you don’t even know exist, and you can only unlock that room and realise what you know by working with them. Beautiful
You know how an engine determines the viability of a car, so all other qualities are derivative of, or contingent upon that? IQ is like that for humans. What a brain is capable of determines the depth of virtue, discernment, comprehension, empathy and nuanced symbolism possible.
I mentioned IQ compatibility in a discuss yesterday in the middle of other compatibility charade and I swear you could hear a pin drop in the room, everywhere went dead silent. Quite disheartening
If you could build your life as well as your coping mechanisms, you wouldn't need your coping mechanisms. Coping mechanisms should be dismantled when they are no longer necessary, serving as transitionary tools rather than as psychic prisons. Don't make your cope your cage.
Guénon writes that in traditional civilizations, money was rooted in sacred authority and symbolic order. Once detached from metaphysical principles, it became mere quantity, inert matter, circulating without truth. A counterfeit sign in a world of dissolution.
An imitation is not a substitute, but a fill in, not a true replacement, but a placeholder - an inferior approximation.
To stare into a mirror and fall under the judgement of your own gaze can be an intimidating thing - which is why it's even more intimidating when that mirror is a person who both penetrates and reveals.
You don’t truly love the feminine until you’ve accepted it for all its dysfunctional ugly chaos, and are able to hold that in tension with its deep beauty. If you only see the ugly, you won’t love. If you only see the beauty, your love is a lie rooted in an illusion. See clearly.
Some years ago I had a friend I shared many interesting and animated conversations with. He was, for all his agony and imperfections, to me, a soul in a sea of people who, quite frankly, are not. I am reluctant to use the term "people" to describe those who do not have a density…
The perfect man's gaze is like a ray of sun on a blossoming flower for her.
If your hope is weak, you need to be more psycho. That is always the solution.
Do you have “aura discrimination” Like you just look at someone (even if attractive) and you just think “nah” Like they have an inherently repellent energy that no amount of overlayed hotness can compensate for Magnetic repulsion
A repeated pattern becomes a habit, a habit hardens into programming, programming shapes identity, and identity when unexamined becomes possession. To escape the demons of maladaptive behaviour, one must deconstruct, strip away, and rebuild from the root. The true “inner work”
The Greek word for ‘psyche’ refers to the mind, spirit, and soul which makes me wonder if the problem with modern psychology is its obsessive focus on the mind at the expense of soul and spirit.
There's almost always a way. Very rarely is there no way. There might be ways you cannot see, afford or execute, but the way is there. And if the way is there, then it simply becomes a question of making the way accessible, not doing the impossible. Have faith, persist, adapt.
