We long for times of old.
The golden age of the Greeks.
To bear witness to Alexander The Great’s conquest of the known world.
The hunt for meaning in a meaningless world is the silent suffering cast upon mankind.
People are unaware of this problem.
Why? Because they are consumers and nothing more.
Our meaning has been stripped from us.
No longer God fearing, but fearing of having no material possessions to be measured by.
Fearing of not fitting in with the status quo and abiding by the rules of the false rule makers.
We have turned our back on the sun, opting for replicas or no sun at all.
The sad reality is that most people are asleep, they are unaware of what is going on.
Hours on end spent staring at a screen and watching someone else live whilst the consumer only exists and wishes that they had a purpose.
The hunt for many of these people never begins, they are not willing to fight hammer and tong to discover their purpose and to carve a life that is worth living.
The pillars of a once golden world have all but fallen, the rubble has been ever present for nearly 100 years.
Those that tried to rebuild out of the ashes were quickly flaunted by those with eyes that could not see what was to come.
The fight is withering, the violence is damp, the willingness to live to one’s own accord has nearly gone.
But the fight for external validation has taken over.
Cheap pleasures, distractions, and silence has become the blanket placed over man.
The body has been neglected from total body vitality and has been replaced by total body ugliness.
The sharp edges of the body that replicated that of the mind is now fat, toothless and slow.
The mind can be seen as something representing grey & black, dark & dull, lacking life and lacking the light.
We have lost control over ourselves and we therefore have become our own worst enemies.
Years spent looking for something to feel alive.
Yet, being swallowed up by the digital age.
The constant entertainment stimulating the brain to endorse the torment from the circus.
Consuming instead of creating.
The endless loop of knowing that a change needs to happen, but the same life continues to go on.
Staring at a screen.
Sitting for a majority of the day.
The fire has nearly gone.
Give them bread & circuses and they’ll never revolt.
The same concept continues from the Roman Empire.
The colosseum has transpired into many different aspects that all equate to the same underlying meaning.
The mind is lost.
What we repeatedly do becomes our make up.
Therefore, a negative mindset, cheap pleasures, and degeneracy is at the forefront of modern devolution - it is what modern man has become.
But, where there is less, someone always looks for more.
Where there is darkness there too is light.
Do not become the prey.
But become the predator.
Search for meaning, your meaning.
In a time where everyone is being forged to become what they are not, be the one who rejects it.
Your worth will have its weight in gold.
The gift of the mind is yours to harness.
Etch your name into eternal glory with your actions and your willingness to live.
God is mocked.
The divine is revered.
Materialism has become the new god.
The need for external validation and popularity has led man to become what they are not.
Putting on a show for the audience.
They are the popular acts within the circus.
Those that believe God will save them, are mistaken.
If you cannot save yourself then why would God save you?
Look no further than to begin, first and foremost with the mind and the body.
The Greek ideal of your body reflects your internal state.
Train them both to the highest decree.
It’s not just about ascension.
It’s about becoming.
Forge the body to reflect the way in which you look after yourself.
Forge the mind to reflect the state of your inner welfare and how you have control over yourself.
Be flexible but precise.
Embody the Total Body Performance.
March towards excellence.
Be the balance between man and God in unity with those who share the same concept.
You…
What is your why?
Where does your purpose lie?
Do not speak as if you do not know what you are doing.
Question yourself, answer your question with an immediate response and you shall answer in accordance with your alignment.
In a world where our false meaning is given to us from young, do not let this throw you off course from what is truly yours.
Re-build your mind.
Rewire your neural pathways.
Get rid of your old habits and form new habits.
Your actions and behaviours all add up to the evidence of who you are.
Only you can make this change.
No one else will do it for you.
You can form a new identity.
Your search for meaning in a meaningless world begins with you.
Rebuild from the rubble.
Create something new.
Put pen to paper and outline your life.
Be one with your thoughts and go on the journey with yourself.
You can mould your environment.
Become an uncontrollable weapon who is willing to die for a cause.
Control what is yours to control.
Reject degeneracy.
Reignite your fire and sore to greater heights.
Tear down your limitations.
Become new.
Be the one who walks through the modern world as someone who is not like the majority.
Now is your time to explore.
Now is your time to live.
Be one with the Sun.
