Primal Primer 9 (Mentality)
Sapiens come equipped with self preserving programing acutely blinding as safety mechanism for posterity. Objective truths from the abyss of chaos is detrimental to long term survival when viewed in excessive granularity, and It is necessary to have degrees of perceptual distance when confronted with abject horrors of antiquity and in the present. In response, we have since evolved “wet-ware” in function of better governing the piercing nature of these acute truths.
We all experience the downward slope this evolved blindspot ensures; often happening unnoticed until objective measures are no longer ignored. These common indicators are often presented as: needing larger clothing sizes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, low testosterone, excessive respiration from climbing meager steps, or needing new organs and hormone replacements in perpetuity. Under these self imposed illusions, dreams are dually sacrificed, becoming cloudy and distant as pathological harmony syncs with mediums of mediocrity.
The Cure Is Truth
Break the cycle and view yourself and world clearly and objectively. Practice individually checking in sans protective measures of the ego (requiring extensive practice and self-therapy / exposure). Intentionally face the arguable self philosophically, while relying on the metrics of objectivity to stave off declination.
~Cave Implementation~
Practice honesty – relying on objective measures to best guide progress. Experiment with the myriad of fitness trackers available, and establish candid baselines both physically and mentally. Asking the right questions will better position actionable progress. Be sure to also field the process of outsourcing reality checkpoints from a trusted apex community and or mastermind alliances in conjunction (more on building these cohorts in Sapien Strength).
Break The Cycle and View Yourself & the world Clearly & Objectively.
