Hey so I'm just flying from Los Angeles to Seattle with my girlfriend / baby momma Roxana and planning to post this when I land.

We're going to shoot into the mountains and hopefully I'll have the chance to record a few videos up by Mt. Renier, but we'll see.

The Seattle events are this Thursday - Sunday and I'm very psyched. Jeff will be with me and I'm sure we're going to make the city look like some burnt out warzone by the time we're done.

I've got 2 new videos today, one which is pretty mindblowing as far as location, and just to make sure you're in the loop here's a list of my upcoming events!

June 14, 2012: Seattle (taught with Jeff)
June 28, 2012: Philadelphia
July 12, 2012: Denver
August 2, 2012: Honolulu (taught with Julien)

www.rsdfreetour.com / www.rsdhotseat.com / www.rsdbootcamp.com

(The Seattle Bootcamp just had one student cancel which means there's now one spot left on it -- if you're in the North West you'd be crazy not to get on this!)

Also after the Hawaii program I'll be shooting over to Las Vegas for the Real Social Dynamics WORLD SUMMIT.

If you're not familiar with this, here's the deal...

The Summit is basically up there with the most fun weeks of your entire life. It's so good that every instructor on the team will be like "X months / days til Summit..." nearly every time we talk.

Consider that guys who are getting laid and partying in the best cities in the world view the Summit as the biggest event of their year (and this isn't me pumping it -- this is the reality of how amazing it is) and you can assume it's THE SHIT.

My natural buddies who come talk about it all year, basically anyone "in the know" about it views it as the best shit going down.

We have every single instructor and most past instructors fly into Las Vegas and spend the week going out, banging every cute girl in sight (it's obnoxious to the point of being somewhat disgusting) and partying it with the most committed guys in RSD.

The clients who come to Summit are usually our best, because they're the guys who have their shit together to the point of being able to do something like this. Typically the guys who attend are intermediate / advanced and already getting laid a lot, so there are tons of great people to go out with. Conversely there's some new guys who come too and they always have a blast and get laid as well. Usually about 85% of the room gets laid while they're there, and those who don' t always do crazy shit and learn a ton.

Every single instructor speaks during the day at the Venetian (a very good hotel in Vegas) and we all go out at night. There's so many good guys to wing with everyone has a blast. There's also every instructor in the company on hand running Bootcamps if you choose to sign up and do BC the same weekend as you do Summit.

I urge you to look into this, even if you only have one week off a year I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It's THAT amazing, and this is the feedback I've had consistently across the board from the people who attend.

World Summit August 19 - 25 2012

LAS VEGAS!! I'll see you there!!!

<>==============================<>

So this past week I was in Atlanta with Alexander~ and it was absolutely amazing. Pulling stunners nearly every night (Sunday's was best, I'm rating her "OMFG" level...) and eating at my fav restaurant R. Thomas.

It's epic weekends like this of non stop learning, hooking up with girls, and partying, that you never forget. Seriously what a life I lead, it's really insane.

At the same time I work really fucking hard. I'm always hustling to learn new things about game, and working with Jeff, Brad, Julien, and now finally Alex more recently I've viewed it like I'm taking a Bootcamp MYSELF.

From me, I think the other instructors learn the more proactive approach to game that Julien and I developed in Los Angeles over the past 2 years -- like just how absurdly aggressive we are in hitting up girls, minimizing time between appraoches, building insane amounts of momentum, and pushing every set to the further possible limit.

OTOH from Jeff I learned so much about being irreverent and self amused, from Brad I learned about picking up girls by being chill and yet extremely narcissistic and always in a good mood, and finally Alex I learned a lot about how to do it without physicality and taking your time.

The Bootcamps are always so shocking for students as well, because they get to see how WE teach ourselves as instructors. What they learn isn't just in the demos or feedback, but actually teaching themselves HOW TO TEACH THEMSELVES.

And that's a big emphasis of how I've built the content for the RSDN front page, where I allow many different perspectives from different instructors, and TRUST IN PEOPLE'S INTELLIGENCE to figure out what works for them.

Of course for some newbie who fails to take action, this doesn't give them the "satisfaction" of "feeling like they get it" when they THEORIZE on how to get girls. (Like guys on sites who just "collect" every last bit of seduction material without ever implementing it.)

But for guys who go out a lot, it's a NO BRAINER to figure out what works for them and what doesn't, because they are HITTING IT UP!! And when you hit it up, everything becomes clear.

This is basically the topic for today's video, which is getting out of "group think" and deciding what works for YOURSELF.

I always like to play around with the delivery of my content, so I made this one a lil off the wall. I think you'll enjoy it, as it's designed to penetrate into your brain by the emotions it's meant to provoke out of you. Have a look!

CLICK HERE TO SEE ME ON A PSYCHOTIC RANT ABOUT TRANSCENDING GROUP THINK.


Fun stuff huh?

Funny enough I usually bring a few different shirts in my backpack and see what colors line up with the environment.

Then I see what types of topics and vibes line up with it as well. So for this video I'd just pulled one of the girls from the weekend as was pretty relaxed, and delivered what I thought was some of my best content ever on "picking up girls and getting laid by being NORMAL..."

But then I looked at the background and it was all bright with these loud cars streaking by, so I thought I'd throw on a Dexter looking red shirt and just yell into the camera like a crazy person, to match up with all the passing cars.

I just psyche myself into the emotions and let it rip. I want to keep improving on my video blogging so I like playing around with different ideas and see how people respond.

Anyway hopefully you enjoyed it, and I also wanted to make another point as far as Julien's "controversial" new video about creating drama this week.

The reason I allow different instructors to put up different opinions is that I trust YOU to figure out what works. I decided a long time ago I wasn't going to stop high quality content from being releasing and punishing the intelligent people, because I was afraid the dummies will misinterpret it.

You may or may not agree with this, that's up to you. Many people probably don't. But I think this constant fear of the dummies mistinterpreting ideas and running wild has held back society for a long time (although also probably prevented a lot of chaos -- so it's a mixed result).

Like with PUA ideas it's amazing how some guys are just so....dumb....that they fuck themselves up by listening too dogmatically to "generalizations" about how things work, and fail to look at it through their own critical eye.

THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY.

For every time I say "be cocky and funny..." there's the counter example that you should be NORMAL and not OVERDO IT.

It's up to YOU to figure this out, not listen to instructors blindly because you're too mentally weak to think for yourself.

What if you can't? What if you just recognize yourself as being unintelligent and incapable of knowing what to do?

Dunno what to tell you. Dummies will always exist at the bottom of the barrel in life. Maybe consider pushing yourself more in life in general. Read more, learn more, challenge yourself to more new shit.

Personally I'm always looking to increase my practical intelligence. I figure I'm about 20% as smart as I need to be to get the shit done I want to get done, so I fill up my brain with the types of foods and substances that build it like a muscle, and push it DAILY.

(If you're not mentally exhausted at least a few times a week...WTF?? And if you're not physically exhausted a few times a week from working out...ALSO WTF??? You're gonna be a soft ass bitch, mentally weak and physically a push over that people can dominate like a girl.)

(Which is cool if you're a girl. But dude. Take a sec to look in the mirror.)

I grew up constantly challenging myself, and continue to do so, so if I read authors like Ayn Rand or Eckhart Tolle I don't become some right wing crazy person or a woo woo spiritual lamo. I take the good and discard the bad, pretty much effortlessly. It's soooo easy to spot biases in people's work, it blows me away that people can't do this consistently, but again this comes from decades of being mentally lazy and not being challenged.

As far as Julien's video, it's good. And guess what? There's nothing wrong with it AT ALL.

It makes sense that some guys will look at it imagine the times THEY got their heads spun out by a girl.

Or maybe they envision the sweet little "7" from their neighbourhood having her emotions played with by some mischievious "player".

But what's wrong here is they're not seeing that the "top PUAs" are out gaming HOT women.

Instead of imagining cute little Annie from your neighbourhood, look at Julien's infield footage video. What types of girls do you see? Are these the types of girls who have problems meeting a nice guy?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlWrFgIR6CU

HELL NO.

(Like is the girl in the slutty pink dress doing the double-makeout with Julien and her girlfriend really some naive sweetheart who easily gets her heart broken, or is she out meeting some athlete and snorting cocaine off his cock the very next night?)

(Or hour. Or minute.)

(How about the girl who slaps him and says "What are you gonna say bitch?" after he makes out with her, or the blonde chick who likes it when he pulls her hair and makes her bark like a dog?  Are you worried that Julien has broken these girls hearts?  Is it not possibly beneficial to give girls like this extra stimulation after sex if you choose to keep them around?)

I personally don't bother creating drama with girls because I don't have time for it. Not really my style or congruent. Zero interest to me at all.

But I'm also able to think clearly enough to see reality and not get stuck in ideals, or project whatever pain I felt as a chode onto a STUNNER PLAYMATE who has endless guys throwing themselves at her like Japanese kamakazee fighters shooting into Pearl Harbour.

That said, again I encourage everyone to think for themselves and form their own opinions. I'd rather see someone disagree than just blindly accept something without their own good judgement.

Just consider that the level beyond that is backing up your own judgements with REAL LIFE experience with the hot women, and not idealizing your own behaviour, guys' behaviour, or women's behaviour, into something it's not.

The key to life is finding the beauty in it DESPITE some of the wacky shit that goes on -- and that we ALL do as crazy flawed humans beings.

Being positive means seeing both the "good" and "bad" of reality, and finding the beauty in it ANYWAY. Not distorting it, but just seeing it for what it is and realizing IT'S ALL GOOD regardless.

Julien has given some ideas about how girls like the "double makeout chick in the pink dress" can be kept on the fish hook after you've bounced.  These are the types of girls he pulls -- models, starlets, etc.  If you find it useful I recommend playing around with it, cause anything I've ever learned from the guy has been solid.

And of course, obviously if the girl is some lil sweet heart who doesn't need something like this, it's lame to fuck around with her head.  Everyone knows this, it goes without saying.

<>=====================<>

Anyway the other topic I wanted to get into today was the idea of FAITH.

This is a really profound topic to me, and will be a huge element of the self development company we run in the next few years.

There's HUGE ramifications to this understanding, and it will permeate through every aspect of your life -- from the vibe you give off, to what you learn from situations, to how you evolve as a man.

It would be no exaggeration to say that this may be the single most important understanding that you can possess. No shit!

And I'll explain why. But first check out this video, which was pretty damned hard to record I gotta say.

CLICK THIS VIDEO TO SEE MY HEAD SURROUNDED BY GIANT WHALE SHARKS AND MANTA RAYS WHILE I REVEAL WHAT IS POSSIBLY THE MOST CRUCIAL UNDERSTANDING YOU WILL POSSESS IN YOUR LIFE


btw to get this here's how we did it.

I told the staff that I was going to shoot a video for my family to get her to turn on the moving floor. Then I convinced the surrounding people who would normally be walking through the section to be quiet and give me the space to record (it's normally bustling with people).

Then I had to time the seminar I was going to deliver to 4 minutes, and as I spoke it into the camera I'd try to see ahead in my peripheral vision to how close to the end of the walkway I was getting and plan and pace what I was going to say.

We shot 2 versions of it that were worth releasing, and the second video that I didn't release had even cooler fish. But there was this one group of old people who resented what I was doing and deliberately tried to speak noisy to be dicks (similar vibe to when Julien was walking through Austin) so it was too disruptive and I went with this version.

I think the main key is that you get an idea to do something, and NO EXCUSES. Don't get to the damned aquarium and find a reason you CAN'T get the video. Find a reason you CAN GET THE FUCKING VIDEO.

FUCK AN EXCUSE JUST GET IT DONE.

(If only the whinging newbies who think they're too ugly to have sex with a girl could take on this mindset. Personally I'd rather die than think like that. If you want something GO FUCKING GET IT and all hands on fucken deck til it's done, come hell or fucking high water, it is what it is....)

Anyway I'm glad I got it out, and if you ever wanna visit that place it's in Atlanta and called the "Georgia Aquarium".

<>=============================<>

Regardless let's get onto the lessons here, because the video just sort of slightly scratched the surface of an issue that's pretty huge.

I won't really get into it fully here either, because my airplane will be landing in the next few minutes, but what would I say is the GIST of this?

Basically I've come to a position in life where I've nearly "had it all".

Fucked tons of girls, every type of chick and race and warm hole I can think of. Had tons of resources to do the things I wanna do, live in the cool places I wanna live, eat the food I wanna eat. It's been pretty sweet.

And yet I sit here BARELY ABLE TO REMEMBER ANY OF IT!!!

Seriously, there's girls I've fucked who could walk past me in the street and I wouldn't remember. Probably more than I'd care to admit.

How many lays have I had that really stood out to me? Maybe 20 or something. Like those few hot girls who were so good in bed they taught me how to be a better fuck or whatever. Or girls who I just really liked.

It was pretty cool......I guess. Again though I can barely remember any of it.

Likewise I can't really remember most BAD experiences I've either.

There was that time in the Greek islands I had really bad dehydration and sat in bed sick for 2 days feeling like I was at death's door. Or the time I talked about in the Boston video I lay on the floor in the airport with my heart barely moving.

Then there was the car accident when I was in bed for like 6 weeks, only a few days after finding out my GF was unexpectedly pregnant and I was gonna be a dad.

I vaguely recollect riding out the economic downturn and working a lot for a few years. I happen to have a ridiculous work ethic now where I chop through months of work like it's a walk in the park. But I can barely remember how I got to this point.

There was that book "The Game" that left me paranoid I'd be punched in the head while walking down the street for a few years. I remember being pretty pissed at looking like a big idiot in it, but then I just made millions of dollars for RSD and barely remember that either.

All of this shit is like some vague recollection to me, it's all a big fat joke.

You'd read this list and assume it would be so vivid in my mind.  IT'S NOT.  I remember most of both the good and the bad about as well as I remember waking up last night to TAKE A PISS!!!!!!

I guess all this shit happened.  I dunno, I'm pretty sure it did, according to my vague memories of it.  And now here I am on this plane!!  Woooooooooooooo!!

Life is mostly just these surface level experiences that come and go, fully transient, AND THE ONLY CONSTANT IS *YOU*.

This is why I can't be bothered to put anything bad into my body anymore, since I eat it and forget about it like a few hours later. I could be fucked if I could remember more than like 5 ice creams I ever ate in my life, and yet I know I've probably eaten it like a thousand times. So whatever, why would I waste "brain cells" or make myself fat and shorten my life for something that's a temporary distraction.

Here's what IS a constant for me though. The person that I am as I sit here on this plane.

And I gotta tell you, in case you haven't noticed, I get a pretty big kick out of it.

It's to the point I have to stop myself from looking in the mirror because it puts me in such a good mood, like I remember "Oh fuck yeah, I'm that dude.... That's sooooo cooooool."

This isn't to be overly positive or whatever, but just to give a context that I think this is NORMAL.

Like if you do NOT think like this when you think about yourself, WTF is going on homie?

You think you have the best MOM in the world, right? I know for sure I think I have the best TWO SONS EVER.

I know this isn't entirely rationale based on just the odds of 6 billion people being alive, there's probably some better mom or kids. Sounds fucked up to verbalize it, but let's be real, right?

Yet the decision to become a person whose skin you LOVE living inside just makes logical sense. You should assume this is the standard, and if you're not there yet then it's gonna be a combination of inner and outer transformations in your paradigms, perspectives, thought patterns, emotional addictions, daily habits, ability to execute, and achievements that you're lucky to work towards in your life.

So realize that these surface level experiences, they're mostly only important insofar as adding the "spice to life" and then giving your mind the necessary STIMULATION to evolve towards what you're capable of becoming.

These experiences are all necessary in order to grow into a proper adult and not stagnate into a confused loser idiot.  But there's NO NEED TO CLING TO THEM AT ALL.

<>===========================<>

The most important reason that you need to understand this is that without it, you are basically a shell of a person.  Constantly whining about things that don't go your way, and failing to gain the lessons that you're meant to see.

Change your perspective on this and suddenly you grow at a rapid pace.  So fast it freaks people out.  This is really the key.

Like Neo in The Matrix your brain is jacked into all this incoming input, and it's gaining a ton of knowledge from them and allowing you to become THE ONE. :)

Take every experience of life WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR LARGER JOURNEY.

It's all just stimulation that's sent to teach you something.

Learn from the lessons and be passionate about improving and not repeating mistakes.  Then you get deeper lessons and deeper ones, become wiser, happier in your own skin, and become the person you're meant to be.

It's cool shit.  REMEMBER TO REMEMBER IT!  Every time you feel anxious, have fucking faith!!  Keep improving and building on the back of the experiences that you're blessed to receive.

As you learn more you go after bigger ones, and like the levels in a video game they keep getting more difficult and complex.  And INTERESTING.  It's fucken bomb!

<>===================================<>

Anyway I'm out of here for now and I hope you're having a great week!

The new "RSD Underground" video vault should be coming out around next week, so if you enjoy the videos the new site will make it an awesome way for you to peruse all the amazing content.

I've also got Free Tour videos coming out over the next few weeks that are totally awesome.  Really good content and hilarious to watch.  Hope you're psyched.

Please let me know what you thought about the topics of "Cultivating Independent Thought" and "Faith In The Journey".  I'd love to hear some personal experiences!!

Thanks for reading and I'll see you soon!

Tyler

PS:  
Puhhh-leeezzze for the love of God don't post "First!  Second!  Third BITCHES!" in the thread.  We did it.  It was fun.  It's DONE.  Time to move on. :)

PPS:  I know this is tough.  You can do it.  I believe you can resist!!

PPPS:  I know you probably posted "FIRST!!" before you even read the whole article.  I know this is very tough.  It's not too late!!

 Damn. Teaser for the summit. Gotta generate some moolah really quickly to get there.

Woah. THe energy of the first vid is amazing! There is a flow to it.
The scenery to the second vid is cool too.

Oh man, don't bring this topic of school. THe mediocrity of it makes me irritated. I Wish I had started reading books at 3yo.
Apart from arithmetics, reading, and a few things you can learn in a few weeks, there is nothing left. Wtf!
When will they be split testing methods of teaching? Probably won't work anyway. The Only way to learn I know is to take responsability for what you learn/ your strategy.

Groupthink in a way is a denial of existence, huh. It's not even thinking. You should call it GroupBsDefautMediocrityBuggedIdeasThatDoomsYouToBeAZombie.

The real challenge is maintening the flexibility of my context, while still judging really quickly and be firm. 
Another is chosing awesome books among the millions that are out there.

"THings generally don't get led into the mainstream operatus unless they have a certain flavor of mediocrity to it." Epic.

Your example doesn't really work: Animals don't need social feedback. And they don't jump off a bridge. It Might be an instinct.

2nd vid is so good. I was thinking about that (with the same exact conclusion: YOU ARE THE ONLY CONSTANT). That's totally weird. And boom, a vid. The world of form changes constantly, you should't be attached to things. Utlimately, nothing matters. It's just here for you to play.You are. It's a good way to chose be happy too. Knowing that whatever you get in the physical world. It will still be you. Solid. You are so more grounded it's just awesome. Enjoy this level, and go to the next. Makes you realise that you have nothing to fear. Add to that: embrace the fact that you're gonna die, instead of trying to escape from it, and make the most of it. And boom, a nice flow to life. COOL!
Ok. MAybe it's your best content ever!

ps: inspiration of the week. on lifelong growth. (physical).
Do you want to be like that when you're 62yo?

Tyler!!!!!!  This is your best video.  I know because I watched everyone you put out.  I believe group think is a disease that destroys us.  Alot of people, actully most of people I know behave this way.  Women in particular.  Thanks Tyler for the video.  Love it mate.

About drama - I really loved it. Of course need to calibrate it and fit this to be congruent. But I'm gonna play with it maybe little bit incongruent at first and then it will fit at lower degree, as always happen. After Julien's video I totally see how some of my friends implementing this for years consciously or not.

About journey - totally agree and see more and more evidences that almost like universe giving you chance to develop your talents. And yet maybe it works like self-fulfilling prophecy - more you beleive in journey - more it become truth for you and it is become very strange that other people can't relate with that.

Anyway it's strong way to develop any talents.

 Tyler: I REALLY click well with your "faithy" approach to game.  If you could release some more stuff like this in the future, that would be really great.  Topics like:

- the bigger picture (the journey) as a way to lessen approach anxiety and self-bashing.
- All experiences (good or bad) as nothing more than stimulants designed to teach us about ourselves.

etc.

DUde group think does also help you on a day-to-day base. Like it probably prevents you from doing a lot of things that can make you go to prison. It comes down to being "clever" enough to distinguish wether it's holding you back or helping you in the particular situation

then again, probably the only way to get to that point is to try to detatch completetly from it for a while and see what happens...

haha nvm

but I just finished reading the article and watching the videos.

I often get paranoid when I make decisions or think a certain awy because I don't want it to be coming from a social conditioning frame or a rationalizing frame.  I used to think about it all the time, but now I got a pretty good handle on it and it just takes care of its self.
Lol, for example... I spent days deciding if i should get this nice watch or not.... and it wasn't because of how much it cost, but I was having a hard time trying to figure out if I was buying it because I liked it or because I thought it would impress other people.  I want my actions to be leading me to who I want to become.

And the faith in your actions part was really sweet too.  Perfect for where I am in my life.
Thanks Tyler <3


Edit: As i'm thinking about it more and more... about the faith part, I'm getting this really "out of my body" feeling.  LIke enlightened combined with anxiety.  WTF....

Tony Robbins put it in his book to take what you like or what you believe works and disregard the rest. With some instructors, I don't bother clicking their articles, blogs, and or threads. There is no hate or dislike there. There style just doesn't work for me or fit my life style. I don't believe everything I hear or read. I think for myself. I saw a video from Alex recently mentioning he trains some instructors which makes me want to hear more from him then someone in training.

Julien has a talent at the stuff RSD teaches -- he's self amused, icey as fuck, provokes an emotional response, doesn't say stupid shit, super assertive and goes HARD.

I'm not sure about dwarves because I've never met one, but I hadn't been thinking about appearance when I said Julien is naturally gifted at this. I've had hundreds of clients better looking than Julien who can't do shit. Julien outgames us because he does the shit we teach BETTER because he's a prodigy at it, similar to how you can be a prodigy at CHESS playing but how the chess player looks isn't related to their results.

Any night Julien gets laid and I don't the last thing you'd ever hear me say is "Bro you're TALLER than me..." I'd kill myself before resorting to that, not only because it's an easy way out and not remotely accurate, but because only a true faggot would think in this way and it's not worth being alive with those types of beliefs about yourself.

Things only matter if you give them a believe or strong conviction. Things only matter when you let them however, in extreme cases like dwarfism or being a male run way model being scenarios. I take everything with a grain of salt.

Hey Owen, after watching the videos and reading the article a couple times, I really appreciate the value..

Honestly though, your first video it seems like you lost your composure... or you are trying to do some sort of pseudo-motivational-rant style, and to me it just didn't feel congruent to your normal teacher-student, informational, optimistic and outgoing self.

Obviously you had a lot of shit to get out and convey, I can appreciate that... I can also appreciate the message of that video. But in terms of a most succesful video style, I'd say you already have the gold standard. Informative, easy-going, optimistic, and a general "grace" with which you convey yourself and your ideas.

"And of course, obviously if the girl is some lil sweet heart who doesn't need something like this, it's lame to fuck around with her head. Everyone knows this, it goes without saying."
-Tyler

I'm really glad you wrote this.

I DON'T think that most guys reading Julien's article would get that - so thanks for putting it in writing. I feared this would create legions of guys running around pulling that shit on every girl they liked - and some of these 'sweet girls' ARE total stunner 8, 9s and 10s looks-wise - so that's not always the criteria.

I'm not basing my thoughts purely on ideal projection - but mainly on some dudes (some older in 40s) I am friends with who are PHENOMENALLY successful with women. I see some who have gone the 'drama' route and some who have gone the 'empathetic' (but still BADASS/ICY in every way) route - and I see their general level of happiness and quality of their relationships etc. You had said study success, and study failure and that's what i'm doing.

I agree with your article. Your stuff over the last year has been absolutely incredible. Same with Alex's and Julien's. Keep up the good work.

 Yo Tyler,

So I definitely agree with you and I'm not one of those "dummies" you call but I'm sure I was one a few years ago. So I'm pretty sure there's a way to get "dummies" to realize this whole thinking for yourself and not just believing any information that are thrown to them.

I really want to show this to my friend and my brother who happened to be "dummies" but I don't know if they will get it or not.

What can I do to help people think for themselves?

 I was meaning to write an article similar to what you have written, but it's very true of the whole "how 'not now' becomes 'never'". You never know if anything is going to work,you just know it MUST work. I remember driving back from the Chicago Hotseat back in 2010 where I had only two hours of sleep the past two days just because of so much driving and not enough money to afford a hotel. 

Probably not the smartest decision, but I drove to the Chicago Hotseat with only over $1000 to my name.Logically I should of stayed home and worry about not having overdue bills again,but I didn't want to miss the Hotseat that I wanted to go so badly.I remember when the first RSD Summit came out and I was so disappointed that I didn't get to go. 

After attending the Hotseat basically on some bridge over New York my car broke down. Now it wasn't the fact there was super slow traffic moving and everyone staring, blaming me for the traffic jam (there were some people that were concerned, so it's good perspective on humans overall), or the fact the driver operating the vehicle to push my car out the bridge was yelling at me all crazy (I didn't follow his directions that well, I'm quite slow). It was the fact I didn't have enough money to pay for my vehicle if the damages were that bad that got to me.

While waiting for the AAA truck (which luckily came because apparently when I first called they said my membership or whatever expired, but then again I don't have AAA, my father does, but then again he died several months ago so I guess he didn't extend it enough?I don't know, but  I kept calling because I didn't have a choice.) I was starting to have doubts on whether or not driving all the way to Chicago was really worth it.

Yeah sure the Hotseat was great, but was  it really worth the 3x value or whatever Tyler promoted. Briefly I gotten into a little rant how Tyler tends to exaggerate things (I think it's a difference of perspective, he probably does think his events are so amazing especially with all the work he put into), but I quickly ended it because it's my own PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for whatever happened to me. 

When the AAA guy came he said he might have to tow my car to the shop. I insisted giving me a jump start should be sufficient. He was unsure it would work, but I was sure it had to work because if he took my car to the shop then what?With less than $1000 would I be able to afford the damages? If not how would I get home? Then what I would still be without a car.So many questions at a moment where it's VERY REAL things can get really bad. Luckily it worked and I was on my way.

In times of uncertainty you become a pillar of certainty.

I remember being calm when the jump start was enough to start my car because I knew it had to work. 

I remember not being distracted when two cars collided on the bridge and then parked right behind me with the cops and ambulance around.

I remember having a plan and sticking to the plan NO MATTER WHAT while taking things as they come.

I remember not to judge anyone because who knows what they're going through. There's was this guy that I asked for my location so I can tell the AAA operator, but he blew me off. Maybe if he knew my situation it would have been different.

Most importantly I remember after getting a much needed rest I woke up, looked in the mirror and started laughing uncontrollably.It's one of many funny little experiences I will have in my life.

Now there are more lessons I can share with other examples in my life such as being broke and starving for months on end, with so many overdue bills; shutting down alot of the services,rationing rice because that's the only I had to eat for weeks, doing whatever it takes to get money from selling family jewelry and old books I found lying around and because of my circumstances I have, it made that much harder to get a job; I remember getting ridiculed at Fedex with people laughing as I tried to send about 30 letters to various local businesses so maybe I could do some JV marketing thing I learned on-line (looking back it wasn't well done, but I mean it really hurt when the girl working there referred to me to her coworkers as "this kid"  and thinking I was doing this for school when really I just wanted enough money to feed myself, yeah she didn't know so it's all good),and blah blah blah....I think I have written enough. smile

 The best part of the journey mindset is that time is on your side, b/c patience is where it's at. For me this means to keep going consistently and being persistent with what I want to learn, but also not being in a rush and acting like it "really matters" if I accomplish something or not. Not sure if that makes sense, but it feels good for me to "take the pressure off" b/c I think society puts pressure on people to do certain things by a certain age and fit in. It's cool to focus on something that I want to do, no matter how ambiguous it may be right now.

When I was in scouts we once played a game where the scout leader asked a question and then gave two answers, at which point we would have to go to either one side of the room or the other, depending what we thought the answer was. He asked “Who invented the ballpoint pen?”, now I didn’t know the answer but when he read out ‘Marcel Bic’ I remembered I used pens which were made by ‘Bic’ so I instinctively went to one side of the room. Once I got there I looked around to see that I was on my own, while the other 15 scouts were standing on the other side. The scout leader said, slightly startled, “oh, you’re right, you win”.

It was only when I recalled this event that I realised, in more than one way, why I had got into pickup.

"Faith In The Journey" is something i used in the past and still use to relativize "bad nights" and reframe them as something that brings new reference experiences and let me grow as a man.

Cultivating Independent Thought
A while ago I reached a point where I realized I that the decisions I was now making were my own, actually my own. I realized that until then I had never before truly thought for myself. The thoughts had never come from "me". If someone told me this before I wouldn't have believed them. In "The War of Art" Pressfield said that he didn't have his first thought until he was 30. Before this your thoughts come from biological impulses, rationalizations, social conditioning, etc. Even the "good" social conditioning should only be training wheels if that. Stepping up because Tyler said so is not you.
I lost this "mode" because I took it for granted, I thought I had already "earned" it. I am finding now that every single day you have to claim your place in the world, it's a battle that never ends, it truly is a muddly mountain.

Faith In The Journey
I would like it if you would talk about the patterns of journeys. In my experience I did notice pattens that I had read/heard about. For example, the "How bad do you want it?" thing actually DOES come up. Example:

My first day of BC sucked. I part of me thought "wtf was I thinking? how could I believe that hanging out with some dude for 3 days could actually make a difference in my life? if all 3 days are like this I AM getting a refund..." But you didn't seem corncerned AT ALL, and just in general I felt that I would give it a chance. We agreed to meet the 2nd day at 9:45 at this one place. My phone didn't work so I set up the hotel room alarm clock. It didn't work and when I woke up it was 10:17pm!! Like motherfucking Sonic I rushed out and chased a taxi on the street and got on it. I thought "MAN, IF I DON'T CATCH UP TO THEM AND THE BOUNCE TO ANOTHER CLUB IT'S ALL OVER!!!" I didn't have my phone so I needed to physically find them! I got in line and it was taking forever. I agreed to pay extra 40 bucks with this group of guys to bribe the bouncer but he wanted more (even tho we were actually NEXT in the damn line). Then one of the BC students came to the line. I tried to get him to bribe the bouncer with him, but then he left. I chased him out so I could contact the instructors. I couldn't find him, it was getting late. I had to get in the club but I had already wasted so much time. I had to get through the door past the Vegas bouncers (how the fuck do I do that i don't fucking know!). I just fucking winged it and god knows how I did it. Shortly after that I saw Dave, Frank, etc "PHEW!!!". God....This might not sound very challenging to some of you, but to me this was like a giant standing in my way, and I didn't even have time to think if I could win or not, if I wanted it, I just had to go fucking head on.

I've only had this kind of thing one other time and it was similar. I was almost at the finish line, and I just wasn't 100% there, and then the universe says "Do you fucking want it or not?". This is gonna sound kind of crazy, but I would guess that Tyler got in a car accident BECAUSE the universe wanted him to step up to be a dad. I know, kinda crazy, but that's what it sounds like to me.

Yes, it sounds crazy because it is crazy. If you are interested in that, there is a book called Spiritual Warfare where the author talks the same way about a bicycle accident.
The problem here is, that you could somehow argue it isn't crazy because the causes of a car accident are under your control to some extent. The truth is that it is still crazy and pointless.

1) 28TH!!!
2) The first video was brought to you by Tyler Durden (The actual Fight Club persona).  The second by Eckhart Tolle.  But both had great content, as usual!

I really like that Tyler is thinking of making the videos scenes a reflection of his internal mind state or the content.  It's one level up of the usual beautiful skylines. 

And it shows the congruence needed in pimping between internal mindstate (the scenario) and external the COntent. when they match its smooth sailing


also I like the idea of working out your brain to the max I find this fits very well with having faith. 
and I see a bright future for the selfhelp company
I wonder how Tyler will organize future videos that are more about Life in general than pickup.  Although all videos at the end seem to offer  little if not a lot of value and  strive to make you a better human hence a better pimp. or just a better pimp. 

peace

p.s  
people like  saying "first"  because it is like a little rush- (fuck someone is going to take it right now. better say it first and b00m you get. it's some stupid sense of accomplishment) by why knock it?  its the same drive that gets people coming back to their post to see what  other people replied. 
 Can't make a community and then ask them to stop the traditions :).

couldnt stop laughing at the second video... its like you've taken mushrooms and are floating through time and space talking about the 9th dimension

in regards to the faith thing, jed mckenna says a similar thing when he talks about becomming 'integrated' or whatever. The universe gives you what you need - not what you want.

you develop a trust that "everyting happens for a reason/theres a lesson in everything"

(there are also counter examples to this though... nobody needs a typhoon wiping out their entire town or a random bullet to the head)

The aquarium one really came out looking nice. The first one was pretty raw, almost angry, with an authenticity which is very cool. I'm still a Democrat though, haha... but trust me, I have also been a Republican and a Libertarian in my life so I'm never done thinking for myself.

On a side note I wonder how much of your occaisionally harsh, brook no bullshit vibe comes from lack of sleep. There's got to be a reason you decided years ago that sleep was towards the bottom of your priority list. Of course I say all that and you could be on 10 hours sleep in the first vid and 2 hours in the second one, you have clearly become a legitimate first class professional public speaker.

 Hey Tyler,

The stuff about remember to remember is amazing and ideas like "Take every experience of life WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR LARGER JOURNEY" are really amazing to.

This stuff helps me to get over the little "bad experiences" i have during a day.
I have a similar mindset that helped me becoming happier and fulfilled in life. 

I always TRY to REMEMBER that you are a perfect spirit filled with love and build to exist for ever and that their is no reason to feel bad cause there is only perfect love. ( perfectones) (heaven) (nirvana) (god)

I think this idea is very radical for most people to understand and i didn't come up with it what is means is that their is no world outside of you and that their is nothing to gain. It's all one big fucking illusion to keep you away from perfect happieness. you made this world up so you can feel how it is to be not perfect.

Actually their is NOTHING outside of you their is just this perfect shining love that is the IDENTITY of everything that lives in this world.


I know this is crazy shit but what the most craziest is to me is that i see alot of similarity in tylers ideas

I see a similarity with this in your idea as " Being positive means seeing both the "good" and "bad" of reality, and finding the beauty in it ANYWAY. Not distorting it, but just seeing it for what it is and realizing IT'S ALL GOOD regardless."

The similarity is that: 


I believe the world is not real and that their is only this perfect love that is my true SELF, but still i see all this horribel stuff going on in the world that if you think about it to long you get depressed. Then i remember/realize that it's not real and that i made it up to forget the perfect love. ( the perfect love is the ALL GOOD REGARDLESS) 

The world i see is a witness of my egos made up bullshitty negative thoughts. The world i see tries to prove that i really can forget perfect love and that heaven doesn't exist.

The goal of my journey is to feel the perfectness to leave this made up false world and to be in touch with this forever. Actually i am their allready only i do not experience it yet.. how could it otherwise be forever ?

So every experience i take i take it in the context of being perfect( allthought i do forget this most hours of every day)  Take every experience of life WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR LARGER JOURNEY

The lessons i have to teach myself over and over agian is to not forget that i am perfect love. For example: I got a ticket today beacause i forgot to pay for the public transport i got all mad because this costs me alot of monney. Or while i am writing this i have some bad thought that say: This stuff your writing is some kind of woo woo spiritual lamo stuff ;). Only the deeper lessons i need to learn is that their is no difference between the two because they both hold me back to become the perfect shining spirit.

All i actually wanted to say is that you are dammm right Tyler !!!!


(I study the course in Miracles and those concepts really do conect with tylers "life lessons"

THanks bro!

 Absolutly loved it! turned my mindset today into a happy one.

Im learnign alll this new shit about internet marketing and its so overwhelming and so scary but this kinda help for me to just try and commit and do it and just deal with the consequences when they come, and be happy with them because I know itll lead to something better. Im also afraid to lose money but thats just an illusion.

both vids were awesome.

The first one really make made me look at the areas of my life that im thinking for myself and stuck in group think.
When i came to a group think area, in my head, i was thinking "what about this??? but what about that?? what does this person think of this?? and felt physically YUK and scattered. Compared to self thinking which gave me a feeling of physical calmness, relaxation and centredness.

...the second vid.... i might have to watch again. was very distracted by the beauty and calmness of the aquarium.

Dude I really like the style of how RSD works, it's like a community where everybody grows (it's a very slow process but it's worth it). I watch old videos of you, Alex, Brad, Jeff and then I watch the new ones and the transformation it's obvious. And then I look back at my game from 6 month ago and I see the progress. So it's really beautiful how this site works, I really love it, every time you guys put a new blog post I feel like a kid in christmas excited to open his new gifts.

One of the things that gave me strong faith was to watch old videos of you, like in Foundation or Blueprint and then see what you have become today. It gave me faith because you can see the progress in a long period of time and realize that in the short term you don't see the difference, but if you persevere and don't give up, in the long run you become an amazing human being

Thanks.

You continue to be an inspiration and give me hope that the world will "wake up" one day

Really look forward to your videos and articles.  I was initially upset when these videos were only short, but you nailed them.  Who says a video needs to be long to smash home a point

Keep going

I follow your journey with interest

Thanks

I find something worth thinking about in most of your videos. This time there wasn`t much for me but that`s OK. You can`t always have pearls of wisdom. wink
But I like the attitude that you don`t want to be a Guru who is followed by brainwashed lemmings. 
I think for many if not most people it is really necessary to make such a statement and I also think the message comes across well.

 I had a really good insight while in the middle of a really intense run today...the thought came to me that every

time you push yourself to a level of pain you have never endured before eg physical pain when running, your

abilty to deal with pain becomes greater and your pain threshold is increased...this also applies to women the
more shit tests we endure and so called bad experiences we have whilst on purpose the more icey we will
become.

.And I know these  topics are talked about all the time amongst rsd but to have this thought whilst experiencing it ( in the moment) really kinda cements this belief within you.....

So one could even say if you were to go out and get destroyed and blown out all night ( not intentionally ) would be better or just as good as having a successful night if you have enough degree of presense to learn the lessons
