Rebel's Journey
Personal Development for Creators & Entrepreneurs
Metamorphosis of the Mind
Thereâs a scene in the movie The Matrix (not the Red Pill, Blue Pill one)…
Which is a lead in, INTO the Red Pill, Blue Pill decision.
And it’s the underpinnings of what most of us face in life.
It is a scene in the beginning where Neo was about to exit the car…
To withdraw back to the ordinary worldâŚ
His routine life.
The all too familiar, colorless reality.
While about to make his exit..
Trinity hits him with a bullet of truth:
Trinity:
Please Neo,
You have to trust meNeo:
Why?Trinity:
Because you have been down there, Neo.You know that road.
You know EXACTLY where it ends.And I know thatâs not where you want to be.â
This siteâŚThis reality…
is about those two roads.
On one road, the journey stays exactly the same
You stay in a black and white worldâŚ
And become an unconscious soul trapped in the self imprisonment called “the ego”.
And live through the re-occurring theme of a lifeless cycle.
A nameless, faceless, soullessâŚ
Mr. Smith
And thenâŚ
Thereâs that other road.
Unpaved.
A road that disappears into the amazing horizons of the unknownâŚ
Fear lurks on this road.
Uncertainty loiters around the fields.
Mystery sheaths the oceans.
But beyond that horizonâŚ
Comes with it the fruitful perks of…
Fulfillment.
Passion.
Rapture.
The yields of a pioneer.
Itâll be a journey that DESTROYS the mundane
And cleanses it with AWE 
Where fireworks of gratitude are an everyday phenomenon 
Volcanic eruptions of ideas are a typical fucking day.
A Journey that contains limitless peaks and thrills
An adrenaline rush of peak experiences.
One that holds the entire spectrum of human emotion.
Where the wisdom of GIANTS channels down and you can feel the osmosis funneling to your mind
It contains the CHANCE to seek the extremes of SHEER JOY! 
To climb to the edges of epiphanies!
And to leap to the other side known as inspiration.
And throughout it all, youâll see the reflection of your tremendous growth.
As wisdom, love and kindness helps you ascend the paradigm climb along the way.
The adventure of a lifetime is yours to be had…
Your Journey awaits you, Rebel.

The Journey of Self Improvement is the journey of constructing your own destiny.
Inch by inch youâll fabricate reality to fit inside the dimension of your vision.
Your lifeâs masterpiece.
These are life lessons that are based on the PRINCIPLES of self improvement, of authenticity, self-esteem, high vibrations, knowledge revelations, shifting paradigms, practical psychology, human behavior, the subconscious mind, science and personal philosophies just to name a few.
Weâll help you bring Death to the Ego
And be reborn into your Essence
Youâll be able to wash away society conditioning, and re-discover your true gifts.
The journey is ONLY for those who take MAXIMUM action.
Because ONLY through MAXIMUM action can you create everlasting behavior change.
Direct, First-Hand Experience is an INVALUABLE skill.
đĽ Action is the ultimate asset đĽ
It is a treasure that NO ONE can touch or take away.
Combine that with Second-Hand Experience of others: learning, reading, growing, contributing, teaching..
And youâll be able to create any destiny you want.
1st Hand Experience + 2nd Hand Experience + Effective Feedback
=
Destiny
This is how you produce PERMANENT Results
Not results based on Ego
Not results based on the Destination
But based on the journey
The walk of liberty in which youâll enjoy every single moment.
Results = Infinite Journey.
Youâll be able to COMPLETELY transform yourself
Call it Personal Development, Acquiring Wisdom, Self-Help, Raising Consciousness, Self-Learning, Practical Psychology, Self Improvement, PhilosophyâŚwhatever you want.
The label doesnât matter.
What matters is what you will learn and APPLY
It is both the discovery AND creation of the Most Authentic, the Most Real, and the Purest Version of Yourself that you can architect.
Letâs start with a little lesson on TimeâŚ
What is Time?
Time is the most valuable element in the universe.
The only dimension where we are all equals (unless youâre flying at the speed of light đ)
But the usage of time is not all equal.
Just like the usage of money is not all equal.
Some use it to buy things they donât need.
To purchase shiny objects to gratify their ego and to boost their status…
When ultimately the shine will blind them in the end.
Some use âtimeâ to “get by”âŚ
Some use it for mindless activitiesâŚ
To consume in endless circles of mediaâŚ
They use time to take.
To consume.
A subtraction.
And so time escapes from their hands and FLASHES off in the waste
Taking with it the biological decays of the bodyâŚ
And having left nothing behind for the world to blossom đ¸
Some use time to simply âkill it (kill time)â instead of using it to come ALIVE âĄď¸
Yet there are thoseâŚ
Who live in a different dimension…
An elevated vantage point.
Who use TIME in a completely different wayâŚ.
They use time not to just consume, but to CREATEâŚ
Not to take, but to GIVE âşď¸
What is Your Lifeâs Purpose?
With the short time that we are givenâŚ
What will we do?
The calling for everyone is different.
There is no one size fits all.
But there is YOUR purpose
Your Myth.
Everyoneâs story is different yet the Heroâs journey is reminiscent of identical underlying concepts and principles.
Your Myth includes:
- Being engaged and fully being alive in the moment.
- Flow states, raising consciousness, deep work, 10,000 hour rule, deliberate practice.
- Meditative practices, humility, integrity, higher vibrational emotions.
- Expressiveness, creativity, logical thoughts, effective communication, leadership.
Just to name a few.
We will unravel more concepts as we progress through the journey.
Make sure to solve problems for the world.
Be sure to touch peopleâs lives because you were in them.
To influence another soul for the better is the blossoming of the universe 
This is how DEEP impact is created.
At the end of the day, nobody really cares about your dreams or life purpose.
The only way you can get someone to care, is if YOU care for others first.
Practice the Strategy of Pre-Eminence
Donât WAIT for value to exchange hands before you give.
Always give first.
Your lifeâs purpose wonât just fall on you
Itâs not an epiphany moment brought to you by the heavens
Lifeâs purpose is an EFFORT
It is about being PROACTIVE.
It is a meta-level principle even if you already know your purpose.
And if you know your purposeâŚ
Then itâs about putting in the HOURS and HOURS of DELIBERATE practice to become a MASTER at your Art.
Denting the universe with the hammer of your craft.
If you donât know what your purpose is, the same principle still applies.
Being PROACTIVE at SEARCHING for your purpose.
At doing things, being ENGAGED.
Not having a purpose might just meanâŚ
That you are not ready to receive yet.
A true purpose will come if you have GIVEN and given a lot.
Only then will the vessel be ready to receive.
Once you start being proactive and courageous, paths will ignite for you 
And how you can find your purpose is to DO YOUR ART.
What is Your Art?
The wise sculptors of time donât just use it to consume, but to CREATE 
They take time as their fundamental tool to craft, mold, and to sculpt it into the frame of their dreams.
To transfigure the vision that they once held in their mind..
..turning it inside out and spraying their ideas unto the canvas of reality.
Capturing the mind as it is in flightâŚ
And contributing it to the world.
IF this sounds like you, then this and the rest of this message is YOUR MANIFESTOâŚ
The Manifesto:
For the Artists…
The Creators
The Believers
The Massive Action Takers
The Go Getters
The Rebels
The Heroes
The Courageous Few.
They have a STEEP asymmetrical bias towards ACTION
A ravenous desire to LEARN
A gravitational pull to GIVE and CONTRIBUTE.
And to remain humble, kind, and grateful
Creators include, but are not limited to:
Entrepreneurs Designers Artists Teachers Musicians Craftsman Engineers Programmers Dancers Writers
ANYBODY that creates art.
Seth Godin defines art not as a painting:
But as a human act. A generous contribution Taking a risk for something that might not work Something that will change the recipient and the receiver for the better And forging a connection…
“You can be perfect or you can make art.
You can keep track of what you get in return, or you can make art.
You can enjoy the status quo, or you can make art.
The most difficult part might be in choosing whether you want to make art at all, and committing to what it requires of you.”~Seth Godin
As a creator, you SERVE FIRST
The audience isnât there to serve YOU.
You serve the audience
Once you lead with service, your true fans will follow
Creating Art is the catalyst of Personal Development and the Rebel’s Journey
On the journey to being and becoming an artist, you will discover…
Many elements of Personal Development
What is True Personal Development?
I wish there was a more descriptive phrase than âPersonal Developmentâ
Iâm not a fan of âlabelsâ
But there is no other word that can fully describe this ever-transforming journey other than words like âpersonal development,â âself-improvementâ and âself-help.â
And there is no book in the world that can contain all the knowledge of life and the universe.
The simple way to put it, is that personal development..
this road…
..this journey is ALL inclusive.
It is about absorbing practicality from all teachers.
“The man is taught by man. The master is taught by all.”
~Magister Daire
In itâs essence, True Personal Development is about learning from ALL SOURCES.
Not being ideological about just one idea
Not being narrow minded to one concept
But to be FREAKISHLY and ABSOLUTELY open minded.
To accept ALL knowledge from different frames of reality. Yet at the same time, deciding for ourselves if itâs a universal truth.
To be Open Minded to ALL knowledge, but not to make that an excuse to become a jack of all trades.
Youâll have to discovery mastery at some point and become a deep domain expertise in ONE specific subject.
Question everything.
Distill it down to its core element.
It might sound like a paradoxâŚ
And thatâs also part of transformation.
To be able to hold paradoxical realities in your mind and not be bothered by the paradox.
Shifting in and out of separate realities thatâs relevant to the situation.
Is this useful for my life and others?
If not, throw it away.
If it is, use it to create flight for the world.
Acquire Knowledge (Second Hand Experience)
Take Massive Action (First Hand Experience)
But at the SAME TIME make your own conclusions about it.
Donât think itâs true just because it comes from one source.
Thatâs the root of social conditioning.
Always ask the DEEP why.
Question ideas.
Even if I said it.
And never takes things personally.
Open Mindedness + Action + Questioning = Truth
If youâre confused at which paradox to adopt..
ALWAYS err on the side of contribution and helping others
I used to think that self-help was all about developing myself and learning and improving and doing.
But I missed a few KEY underlying principles.
Principles that I wouldnât NOT have seenâŚ
Unless I ascended paradigms.
And it was contributing knowledge to serve others, not just a PERSONAL transformation
We are all on our own journeys.
Some are living at different levels of knowledge, energy and paradigms
But I think itâs a thicket of forest we must all go through for true transformation.
The protagonist must go through the wilderness of the Ego.
Only to have crucified a version of themselves that was holding them back
And to be resurrected as the Hero đ
And thereâs a certain cycle that you must adhere to…
The laws of the Heroâs Journey
What is The Hero’s Journey?
What is the Heroâs Rebel’s Journey? 
The Rebelâs Journey is predicated on the idea of the Heroâs Journey.
Stories echoed throughout history since the dawn of Sapiens.
The masterpieces of the world.
It is the lifeâs work of Joseph Campbell who compiled his work in the book The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
He was able to dissect these myths and stories and discovered undeniable parallels in all of them.
Out of every story ever toldâŚ
From the thousands of stories since the existence of Communication.
He realized..
There was only ONE story.
The Heroâs Journey.
It is the common denominator of History.
It is the mappings of human consciousness.
The DNA of homo sapiens expressed outwardly.
You can also call it the Rebelâs Journey, if youâre bold enough 
These ideas were the main inspiration for George Lucas when he wrote Star Wars.
You can see the same pattern in:
The Odyssey of Homer
Greek Mythology
Religious Texts
The Matrix
Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter
The Hunger Games
EVERYTHING.
The revelation is thatâŚ
These aren’t just stories.
They are a mirror reflection of The Human Life.
So in a sense..
It is EVERYONEâs story.
Or at least, the Rebel who takes the courage to leap…
And to take the unpaven roadâŚ
Step 1: The Call to Adventure
It is the story of the Heroine who faces the trials and tribulations of the Odyssey in courage.
The small glimpses of success…
The peaks of the many colossal mountains 
Along with the many valleys of adversity and pain
The journey will require you to do things that SCARE the SHIT OUT OF YOUâŚ
To make LARGE leaps to the other side
To die into the moment.
Itâll crumble your comfort zone and take you to another reality of uncomfortability
It is a RITE of passage
King Arthurâs sword – Thorâs Hammer – is only for those who are deemed worthy of the calling..
Those who rebel against the cowardice and step up to face the Dragons of Fear
COURAGE is a prerequisite element…
âŚto transform into the Hero.
It is a DAUNTING sight for most.
And sadly, most donât get past the call to adventureâŚ
They are stuck at stage one in the ordinary, mundane world
Being comfortable.
Being complacent.
Being safe.
Never being able to FEEL the intense pleasures of being FREE and being ALIVE.
And itâs the first stage that makes the difference between a Coward and the Hero…
The first step in the alchemy to a Rebel:
Action
A dive into the pandemonium of the unknown.
Standing up for the Truth
Protecting the weak
Leading with Passion
And along the way the Heroine will acquire universal morals that parallel The Wizard of Oz:
A Brain (Personal Development)
A Heart (Love & Contribution)
And Bravery (Action)
“Through action, a man becomes a hero.
Through death, a hero becomes a legend.
Through time, a legend becomes a myth.And by learning from the myth, a man takes action”
Fuck what society has told you!
Ask your inner most spirit:
What makes me COME ALIVE?
What is Natural to me?
When do I feel like the TRUE ME?
No judgments or pleasing others
No criticism of the inner voice.
No second guessing
Whenever you feel surges of emotional butterflies and authenticity floods through your veins..
Then you are headed in the right direction.
The antagonist in this journey is mostly likely yourself.
You have to get out of YOUR own way
To shed your old skin of ego
To Declare:
“NO MORE!”
FUCK THE MUNDANE
To take the flight of the creative mind 
The ride on the maiden voyage of courage.
Accept the dance with time.
What Will I Learn on This Epic Quest?
The most important things that you can learn are Meta-Level Skills and Insights
How you can shift the way you view the world and reality.
How you can climb up different paradigms
To zoom out and see the entire map, instead of the pixelated terrain
Youâll Learn:
Youâll learn to start seeing the world through the eyes of the Hero
Youâll learn to have FREAKISHLY open-mindedness
To gather knowledge from ALL sources
To eliminate social conditioning and question everything
To raise your consciousness by being AWARE of your thoughts
You are NOT your thoughts.
Most of it is conditioning.
You are the awareness and observer of your thoughts.
Once you realize this, you are no longer a victim, you are the CREATOR.
You’ll learn about leadership and being able to lead a tribe to influence others through inspiration.
Power NOT Force
Youâll be infused with interdependence and working with others
1 + 1 = 11
The sum of the whole is greater than itâs equal parts
Youâll learn about the subconscious mind and how most of your actions are NOT your conscious doings, but the underlying ocean of the subconscious.
Youâll learn about the how to create Talent and the 10,000 hour rule and what it takes to create true mastery.
Youâll learn to be HYPER productive and to create everything youâve ever envisioned.
Youâll learn to achieve FLOW States and how to Get in the Zone on an everyday basis.
Youâll learn to LEARN better and to APPLY them in a more effective way.
And this is just a small ICEBERG of the journey.
Weâre not even in the ocean yet 
Youâll learn PRINCIPLES, but youâll also learn techniques and tactics.
Thereâs a place for both.
Donât think that one is better than the other
Itâs both an outer AND and inner game.
Thereâs tyranny in the “OR” and Genius in the “AND”
Not all knowledge is for everyone.
Sometimes youâll resonate more with different ideas.
Thatâs okay, thatâs human nature.
We all have a time and place for different fractals of knowledge in accordance to our current level of paradigm.
But sometimes knowledge that you DESPERATELY need will be RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE
But youâll miss the lesson..
It will fall on deaf ears.
And itâll keep re-appearing in your life over and over again, until you GET IT.
And thatâs another avenue of the Journey.
The boulevard of arrogance.
And theyâll be no way to escape this boulevard until they reach the boiling point of realization.
Of enough pressure to blast them out of the cycle.
Sometimes itâll appear on endless repeat, ad nauseam
And there will be no heroâŚ
But this is NOT you.
You are the Rebel.
And when you are finally ready to receive the message…
The Epiphany will come at you in AVALANCHES.
You finally GET IT.
It will just STRIKE your soul perfectly on target
And will send SHIVERS down your very CORE.
I’ve heard that life will send you a whisper..
If you still don’t get it, life will toss a brick at you..
If you still don’t get it, life will burn down your house to get you to pay attention..
Lesson:
Pay attention to the whispers of destiny.
Youâll learn to become SUPER ADAPTABLE.
Adaptability is KEY to surviving and thriving.
Darwinâs theory of Survival of the Fitness states that it is not the strongest, the fastest, or smartest that surviveâŚ
It is the most adaptable that survive.
Adapt to current times and technology.
Use technology to your advantage!
BUT, be careful how far you let that pendulum swing.
Social Media is a Poisonous LAVA when it comes to focus
Make sure to remove ALL distractions in times of FLOW and creation
Then youâll get SUPER FOCUSED and create unbelievable productivity in your life
Everything in life has balance.
So always remember that thereâs a place for FOCUS and thereâs also a time for breaks.
Keep the light heartedness of life.
SMILE, laugh 
Itâs about authenticity and truth.
If you want to be REAL and not LIE to yourself, realize that weâre all ultimately going to die one day.
And thatâs the insight to make EVERY moment as fun as we can.
It is part of the DEEP WHY:
Why did you start the journey in the first place?
Because it was fun.
Because you enjoyed it.
Because you LOVED it
Take a step back whenever things get dreary
And ignite the passion once again
âPersonal” Development is just a small parcel in this everlasting journey of discovery and change.
And when the Hero is built – acquiring all the skills and knowledge from the treacherous fog of FIRST HAND experience, there will be a more profound and rewarding experienceâŚ
Which is the quest of contribution.
Thus completing the cycle of the Heroâs Journey.
Back to 12 O’Clock
Only thenâŚ
To start over again.
BUT with a complete different facet and dimension of the Hero.
A sequel.
Another Rebellion.
Saruman believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check…but that is not what I have found.
I have found that it is the small things..Everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay.
Simple acts of kindness and love.
Why Bilbo Baggins?
Perhaps it is because I’m afraid.
And he gives me courage.
Gratitude & Giving (The Return)
Then thereâs the return
A new perennial emotion is born:
Passion
The heroine has now learned the true meaning of the journey
And has earned her right to travel to higher dimensions
And after all her adventures comes back to the same place with different eyes, and discovers the place for the first time
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
~T.S. Eliot
Appreciation is the passport to the other world.
Because the other world is THIS world rightly seen.
“The other world is this world, rightly seen” – Nisargardatta
Gratitude and Giving is the waltz with Mother Nature and the duet with Father Time.
And when the return is completeâŚ
It is like the grand finale to your favorite movieâŚ
A happy ending.
And in the end Love always wins
We talked about âTIMEâ in the beginning.
And the only way to transcend time is CONTRIBUTION.
You have come FULL CIRCLE.
And the powerful play goes on with another heroâŚ
Another story worth telling.
Embark on the Maiden Voyage – Only for the Courageous Few
The Rebel’s Journey is NOT for everyone
It is a winding road.
There will be twists and turns.
There will be adrenaline.
There will be FEAR
There will be pain 
There will be incomparable challenges
But it will be the ULTIMATE FULFILLMENT
FREEDOM like youâve never experienced before.
You wonât just revel in the stormâŚ
You’ll be FLYING above the cloudsÂ
You wonât just be watching stars..
Youâll be melting them.
You wonât be just the dancer.
You’ll become the DANCE.
Youâll learn about profound life lessons handed down from Titans before us and You’ll learn that ACTION is the first step to the castle.
We will dissect your subconscious.
Turn it inside out so we can zoom in into your character and discover the environments that has molded youâŚ
And we’ll THAW the clay 
…
To turn you into a work of art of your design.
Weâll take a look at your habits, which is just a reflection of your subconscious.
Weâll take a look at your friends and surroundings.
And how the people and friends you hold next to you..
Become your Adjacent Reality
You literally BECOME the energy you surround yourself with most.
It is with UPMOST importance to have AMAZING people in your life (like yours truly )
You BECOME your friends. You BECOME your environment.
You are the MOLDâŚ
…the environment is the SCULPTOR.
We’ll take a look at how you do ONE thing, is how you do EVERYTHING.
Health and longevity are just a byproduct of your conscious cleanliness and good morals.
Finances are just a side effect of the value that you add to the world
Marketing is just a side dish of trying to help as many people as possible
Who you ARE, comes with you wherever you go.
Your subconscious shadow follows you around.
The SELF is ALWAYS coming through.
Youâll learn to become purely present to the moment and how to find happiness in the infinite.
But above all, these probably hold the most weight:
Constant and NEVER ending improvement Maximum Action All blanketed with the Universal Law of GIVING.
If this sounds like an epic journey…
The grand adventure that youâve always desired…
Then this is for YOU.
And you are not alone.
Weâll be growing together.
All of us.
Iâll be updating you with wisdom as we progress.
Itâs not a solo journey.
Weâll meet mentors together, build a fellowship along the way.
A team taking the grand EPIC journey of epiphanies together.
To leave the Shire and to travel to Mordor
To slay Dragons
To discover Pandora
To go 3 levels deep into our psyche.
To discover Galaxies
To discover Gaia
To leave Midgar and save the world.
It is a never ending journey.
One thatâll take you to the edges of the world, the edges of your mind…
..and to ride on the harness of time.
Invite Destiny on the ride and take the road untravelled.
Join The Odyssey of Giving.
Let it be known..
The Hero is Born.
And one last request…
PLEASE
Whatever you have in you..
Whatever it is that you want to do..
Whatever it is you want to give..
DO IT NOW
Time will fly circles around you if you wait
Nothing is faster than the speed of time.
There are only so many moments we have leftâŚ
There are only so many tomorrows.
Make your life a living miracle
A vacuum for regret.
Do the work that you deem worthy of your life
And proclaim it to the universe.
That is the only way..
That you will forever remain..
A Hero.
Your Journey Starts Here, Hero:
