Humanity evolves rapidly.

We are able to innovate and solve problems quicker than any animal on earth.

But where are we headed? Utopia or Dystopia?

It seems to me like the more we innovate, and the more comfortable we become, the weaker we get.

We have lost touch with the primal instincts that guide us to survival.

Our basic need structures are now governed by money and we believe that we need it to survive.

This is where the whole problem lies. Money.

Now money is not evil, nor is it good. It flows where you direct your energy towards.

But imagine this:

Imagine a community where people are growing their own food and trading their skillsets.

Within this community, everyone becomes self-sufficient and learns to cover their basic needs by learning how to build shelter, developing survival skills, growing and farming food, filtering water, and learning other skills like making clothes.

There are communities like this that already exist in the world. They are called off-grid communities or ecovillages. These communities are preserving the planet by living according to nature.

If I knew this before getting out of high-school, I would never have even spent money on getting a diploma. I would have taken that money and spent it on travelling to these destinations and volunteering to help these communities grow while learning their skills.

I know that humanity is evolving towards building huge skyscrapers and beautiful buildings through architecture, creating dystopian cities like Dubai, and capitalistic abundance. These are great luxuries that I believe everyone has the right to experience.

But is is reserved for people who have the resources to invest into traveling and buying/renting shelter.

It is a luxury.

But there are steps that you can take to manifest abundance for yourself.

The Evolved Philosophy

1. Learn survival skills like building shelter, growing food, and filtering water. This can be achieved by going on survival camps, volunteering at off-grid communities, or backpacking/nomading, etc.

2. Cultivate self-mastery through discipline & willpower. Becoming the master over your vessel gives you the power to eliminate addictions and bad habits. You will also be able to adopt good habits that contribute towards your growth in all aspects of life (Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, & Financial).

3. Create an income for yourself after you have your basic needs met and developed self-mastery. This is the part that will require some form of financial investment if you were not as privileged to have parents buy you a laptop, phone, or any device that grants you access to the internet. You can also create an income by working in whatever industry your unique skillsets allow you to flourish. But in the modern world, we have the opportunity to work 4 hours a day while doing what we love for work via the internet.

4. Live a minimalistic lifestyle that allows you to focus on what truly matters and detach from materialistic desires. Although this is the best time to be alive because of all the opportunities and comforts we have available to us, it often turns into an addiction that taps away your life force and financial resources. The key is to transcend material desires through isolation from modern comforts, fasting, and breatharianism.

5. Expand your consciousness to experience higher states of being. This is the most important practice for your entire life. Rewiring your mental state and elevating your emotions. It is a spiritual practice. You are not doing this for anyone but yourself. Paradoxically the work you do on yourself inevitably affects the way you present yourself in the world.

Mastering Basic Needs For Survival

I’ve set up a pretty nice foundation for my survival needs.

I once attended a survival camp on my 15th birthday.

It was awful. On the first day I lost my balance while walking down a trail and I face planted into the ground and had my entire face smothered with hard rocks while skiing on my face.

I was faced with humiliation as everyone in the group laughed at me while helping me up.

But I learned a very valuable lesson that day.

No warm food. No comforting bed. No Netflix.

Just survival.

I learned how to survive with some basic equipment like a knife and some flint & steel.

I also learned how to build my own shelter by using what nature provided me.

I would recommend that everyone learns survival.

It will remind you of how privileged you are and equip you with the knowledge to survive in any situation.

You can start now by setting up a survival pack that carries all your basic needs in a single backpack (preferably waterproof).

• Your favorite clothing. (Activewear, Chillwear, Formalwear, Sleepwear, etc.)

• Multi-tool (Knife, nail-clipper, fish scraper, scissor, etc.)

• Lighter/Flint & Steel

• Tent & Sleeping Bag

• Cell Phone, Power Bank, & Laptop

But nothing compares to giving up your comfort, even for a weekend, and immersing yourself in nature. You find the part of you that is primal and make it a part of you.

Lifestyle Design For Minimalism

Living below your means will make you happier than what you could have ever dreamed of.

Transcending materialistic desires and giving up the modern comforts of life will set you apart from those who are overly concerned with the responsibility of maintaining their materialistic wealth and sacrifice their life purpose in the pursuit of money.

I like to put my most important stuff in a backpack so when something unexpected happens, I know I am prepared to live below my means. The comfort that I experience now, I am willing to give up, because I know I have done it before, and I actively do so in my lifestyle.

I really do focus on the important things in life. It makes life much easier and simpler.

I know what to focus on throughout my day and the mindset that comes from my philosophy allows my to think creatively when challenges arise.

Create a list for yourself that contains all of the important things in your life. refer to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and pick items from that hierarchy.

You will quickly realize that what you thought you needed to be happy, successful, and peaceful are much less than what you initially thought.

The Role Of Self-Mastery

Self-mastery is the greatest skill you can possess in the modern world.

It develops your discipline & willpower to the point where you are able to stay consistent with habits that contribute towards your success.

You also acquire the neccesary values you need to become the best version of yourself like taking responsibility for your actions and cultivating values that align with your highest potential.

It eventually becomes the pursuit of aligning your habits with the identity you want to present to the world and how you want to show up for yourself.

You develop the strength you need to eliminate bad habits and enforce good ones into your life. This is what it takes to pursue greatness.

You start to develop integrity and treat your own awareness of your actions with the same respect as the awareness of other people you admire or respect.

And eventually you get to a point where the depth of your consciousness is molded by your will. You get to change the subconscious programming induced by society, school, parents, friend groups, and childhood experiences. You get to decide what type of identity you want to create.

Ultimately this leads to an understanding of who is mastering. The consciousness of your soul.

The Future Of Education

The internet has given us the opportunity to make money from the comfort of our own homes. We have the ability to learn from the best in the game by paying them to be our mentors and to teach us the skills they used to get to where they are at now.

It is truly fascinating. No longer do you have to depend on getting a diploma and searching for work. But you can start your own business, build a website that showcases your work, create a personal brand where you can talk about your interests, document your life, and generate a creative income.

This is the evolution of meaningful work.

You can document your solutions to unique problems that you have faced in your life and productize it. Therefore, expanding the collective consciousness while making a living from it.

Expanding Your Consciousness

Everything that I discussed up until this far will expand your consciousness in one aspect or another. When you are no longer operating from a state of survival, attachment, lack, or addiction, you conquer the most primal version of yourself.

Once you have mastered this unconscious version of yourself your consciousness will automatically expand into a greater state of being. But I want to give you all the tools you need to access higher states of consciousness.

So I created a free product that does just that. You will receive the methods, practices, and knowledge I used to expand my consciousness, rewire my mental thought patterns, and elevated my emotional state.

By expanding my consciousness I have been able to manifest abundance into my life, work on what I love doing while serving others, and detach from materialistic desires. Leading to a more fulfilled and happy life.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Enjoy the free material.

Until next time my friends.
