Real Men
Right Standpoint
Thinking in Reverse Order

Mercury

A real man feels fear and does it anyway.

You're afraid of dying? Very good! Just about every man is afraid. That is the very point that makes a hero or a real ultimate man. He does things even though he is afraid. He is aware that things are dangerous, he might fail, he might lose his life, but he does it anyway.

This includes minor fears, like approaching a woman. If you're not even able to approach a woman, how are you going to get into a relationship? Let alone: What will the lady you enter into a relationship will think? She can't trust you to protect her if it's a matter of life and death. If you are even afraid to approach a woman openly, then you will be even more afraid when it comes to your life, won't you?

Overcoming fear provides growth in the life of a real man. Fear represents a part of your comfort zone. A real man challenges himself, grows from those challenges. He takes the fear and sees this hurdle as a potential for growth. Life is not easy, life is shitty and hard at times. But a real man knows that and he takes the initiative.

A real man accepts failure. Even if there are chances of failing with the business, without any securities. A man who pursues his dreams overcomes these fears and takes the reins. If he fails, he knows he gave it his all.

Conquer your fear every day. Every day we feel smaller fears. Be it saying something that makes us uncomfortable or claiming our rights. A real man feels the fear and does it anyway.

Quote from men's literature

The Right Opinion

Pay attention to your ideas (thoughts). Think only significant thoughts. Gradually learn to separate the essential from the unessential, the eternal from the transient, the truth from mere opinion.

When listening to the speech of fellow human beings, try to become truly silent inwardly and refrain from all consent, especially all derogatory judgments (criticism, rejection), also in thoughts and feelings. This is the so-called "right opinion".

Eightfold Path

Thinking in reverse order

This can be practiced, for example, on a story or a fairy tale. There you go from image to image, from event to event, from detail to detail in reverse order. Literally speaking a sentence or a short poem in reverse is another variation of this exercise.

Exercise

• We internalize a content and then repeat it, from memory, in reverse.
• This can be practiced, for example, on a story or a fairy tale. There you go from image to image, from event to event, from detail to detail in reverse order.
• Literally speaking a sentence or a short poem, a meditation, a prayer or the lyrics of a song in reverse is another variation of this exercise.
• You can also apply this technique of marking and remembering to other content.

Tips

• Memorize a list of data backwards, for example the 10 highest mountains in your country.
• Historical events, for example, which are usually learned in chronological sequence, can be followed backwards.
• Read a newspaper article or a text on the Internet and visualize the essentials from the end to the beginning. What remained?
• Or read a long story or book, and pin down the basics in a few catchy phrases after each chapter. How long is it until you can rebuild the content backwards without the help of keywords?
• Make a game of watching a movie and then going through the content in reverse afterwards, possibly together with other viewers. Is there a common thread?
• Or make a habit of going back through the experiences of the day in reverse order in the evening.
• Start with something small. Examples:
  • go over how you cleaned your home;
  • a tune (not the words) such as ‘twinkle, twinkle little star’;
  • if you are a teacher, go over the lesson you had with the class in reverse order.
• Practice the exercise when you are inwardly calm. If you get distracted, simply return to where you were and carry on.  

In this exercise you learn:

• to build concentration and to activate independent thinking.
• to read in a concentrated manner,
• to actively re-form content figuratively, verbally or conceptually,
• to become aware of feelings arising,
• to let go, in order to re-connect to the feelings and images.

Effect

• You create a basis for independent thinking and a freer connection to the content.
• You can look at a story from a personal distance and still have an intense mental connection to it.
• Thinking in reversed order is also an exercise for the improvement of memory.
• Thinking in reverse strengthens your life forces and the etheric body.
• You connect what you feel about yourself more strongly with your outer personality. This increases your presence in everyday life and makes you more noticeable for yourself and others.
• You are more connected to what you are doing and are nourished internally by what comes back. An important precaution against exhaustion, frustration and burnout!
