Rocket to the Top Like Musk and Bezos

Are you awake or asleep?

On the surface it’s a pretty straightforward question, isn’t it?

That’s because by the traditional definition of these words, it is straightforward.

Being asleep you’re unconscious, generally in bed.

Awake you’re consciously aware.

That’s different to the deeper definitions we’re talking about here.

“Awake?”

You may know that there’s a deep rabbit hole here?

In fact, perhaps this is the deepest rabbit hole that you can ever explore.

If you are on this path of evolving yourself and particularly have explored new-age or Eastern or spiritual or deeper esoteric teachings you might be using this word as we do.

Often you hear people on this path use this in a negative, judgmental way.

Because they are accumulating knowledge and are now more awake to how the human being is truly functioning (e.g. automatically), they label themselves in a more flattering way as having woke or being awake.

Others are labelled often pejoratively as being asleep, or called say “Sheeple.”

I suggest that you never want to judge anyone, especially when you know how easy it is to keep falling asleep.

I have little clue how to achieve my Grandest Vision.

By all rational accounts there’s no way it can be done.

Unlikely I can achieve even a fraction of what I’d like to see in our world.

It’s all good.

I never let that belief stop me.

The best you can do is your best to keep bringing your dream to life.

Your dream?

How are you doing on your goals?

I don’t know if you use my System For Doing What You Want and have established your Grandest Vision?

You might know this “Grandest Vision” is the term that I use in my books and some of my programs, such as this on Rocketing To The Top Like Musk and Bezos.

It’s the best way that I’ve come to define your biggest, most lofty, grandest, but still achievable goal for your life that you are constantly moving towards.

It’s like Elon Musk colonizing Mars.

Or Jeff Bezos once setting out to build The Everything Store.

Lofty, for sure, but obviously doable.

How grand are you dreaming?

Many of you loved last week’s article on The Simulation.

I love that you love it.

Because I love this topic more than just about everything.

It’s the most important topic in this world to me.

Where I really started all this work 22+ years ago and where it will dead end.

I want to know all, everything.

And I want to keep sharing.

But

I feel that last week I failed in well enough conveying my most important point.

This isn’t about The Simulation at all—

It’s about you and your best life.

What’s happening in your body and brain and what this means for EVERY single moment of your life.

This is the single most important discovery of my decades of work.

Perhaps to some people it sounds pathetic and a waste of your life to never stop going deeper on this subject.

Yet I perceive that nothing is more important to living your best life than your ‘will and skill’ to choose how you think, feel, take action.

It is the master key to living your best life as many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years as you can.

Let alone to uplifting all of humanity.

Have you wondered why someone with so little can be so happy?

While someone with so much can feel so poor?

Why one person can be content with what they have?

While many others achieving more, more, more will never be fulfilled?

What’s going on here?

Two lives

It might be obvious to you.

But it wasn’t always obvious to me and it’s not always obvious in our society and in our own brain.

The life that you see outside of you is ENTIRELY different to what you experience inside.

While you expect that a “better” life out there causes you to feel better inside, ultimately they are independent variables.

Hence why someone can have a heavenly life but be living an internal hell, and vice-versa.

They might as well be two different lives.

It’s like dreaming at night.

What is happening outside of your sleeping body is ENTIRELY different to what you are experiencing inside.

In our school of transformation, RST, we distinguish these as your External Life and your Internal Life Experience.

So even if a person has a fabulous External Life, like Kanye West they can have a terribly sad Internal Life Experience.

This is the cause of ALL problems in our world.

My favorite scene in The Avengers is right near the end.

After Earth’s mightiest heroes have been divided and conquered by the evil deceiver, Loki, they are assembling in Manhattan.

With a grotesque alien army streaming through a hole in the sky they are humanity’s first, last and only stand.

Then, just as the scene is getting even worse, the final Avenger rolls up on a motorcycle.

It’s Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk, looking worse for wear after crashing down into an abandoned factory somewhere.

“So, this all seems horrible,” he says.

The unflappable Black Widow casually responds, “I’ve seen worse.”

I’ve seen worse

You might know that this work began for me in a horrible time back in Silicon Valley.

Bright eyed with the gold rush of technology, I’d landed a plum transfer to Goldman Sachs’ Silicon Valley office right at the top of the market.

By the time I was boots on the ground, however, the first shoe had already dropped.

Those of us in Silicon Valley will always remember March 10, 2000 as the end of the internet bubble, and start of the pop.

But it still wasn’t for another year or so that the other shoe dropped.

The not so great financial crisis in 2008 had the same footprint.

Investing in distressed companies at Carlyle, we were patiently prepared in 2007 when the Bear Stearns first shoe dropped.

But it wasn’t until Lehman Brothers collapsed some 9 months later that the legs cut out.

In both cases, round after round of layoffs later fewer companies and people were left standing.
