"Full freedom will come only when it makes no difference whether to live or not to live. That’s the goal for everyone." - Dostoyevsky
  • First and foremost, understand yourself – learn about yourself, question yourself, question people, on who you are, why you are who you are, and what you need to work on.
  • Cultivate a unwavering habit of continuous awareness of the present moment, moment to moment, and extend this awareness and natural curiosity to the world around you.
  • Expand the reach of this awareness and equanimity into daily life. Awareness of sensations, equanimity with sensations, understanding of the true nature of reality.
  • Leverage this awareness and equanimity to expand awareness to triggers. Increase the time delay between trigger and response to stimuli. (e.g., conversations, events, emotions) Make this habitual.
  • Eliminate bad habits; alcohol, games, procrastination etc. Save dopamine to spend on other activities. Fight against the inertia and make it part of your personality.
  • Increase energy levels. Depression and apathy are a clear sign that energy levels are only sufficient to support your basic existence. Leverage intimate awareness of your corporeal self to quickly understand, diagnose, and remediate issues.
  • The higher your energy levels the better people will treat you because subconsciously they will sense your energy and even to some extent benefit from it.
  • Live life preparing for death – eliminating craving for 1) control and 2) continuity. Domesticate, not eliminate, emotions.
  • Come to “understand” life and death on a deeper level; experiencing that this composite structure is not your own, it is ephemeral, I too will disintegrate, and pass away…experience this.
  • Experience the world as an observer; and manifest your own reality.
