Introduction
Morpheus: . Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about? Neo: The Matrix. Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?.. The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Neo: What truth? Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind.
Imagine that you step through a science-fiction portal to another parallel universe where all that you have used to define yourself is gone. Your family and associates are back in Normal times/space. Your job, education are meaningless in this universe. What is left? What are you really? In this situation many would go mad, others would kill themselves. They don’t really have a core, because it has been taken away by their culture of origin. If you have traveled enough, you will have experienced this somewhat, and if you know immigrants you might have felt it from their perspective a little.
I am suggesting that you build such a core that it could withstand such a transformation. Even more I think this is one of the best things you can do with your life, and that it will give you strength and freedom you can’t imagine now. To assist you in this transformation is the purpose of this material. The Ronin 1-eye Life System is as far beyond self-help as Olympic Training is beyond physical therapy. By reconstructing your Meaning, Purpose, Identity you achieve self-actualization. Such a system has to do with how you see yourself, others, and how you see your life. It has to do with how you encounter problems, solve them and what is a problem. It has to do with how you interpret where you’re coming from and where you’re going. It is a training manual for those who would recognize their own dystopia, and do something about it.
Since it is a system, it must all work and flow together. We will do this with a 25 word mnemonic, a memory device that is an affirmation, super learning device, and a source of strength when things are rough. The mnemonic is a short hand way of remembering who you are, what you are doing, why, and where you are going. A System that is your steel core, all else comes after this, and is built upon this framework. When the shit hits the fan the System will see you through. It is all you would need, even if transported to another civilization, time and place. And even better we will get it all to work with one word. A single exclamation that will instantly fortify you.
,How can you make this all happen? By gradually changing the way you look at your life. I am going to call these changes exercises, and we will do one a week. We will talk about it, take notes, and then begin another the following week. This is necessary for your brain, your being, to create and develop new groves. You are going to change your system. Grow new paths in your brain, in your very being, to become the best version of you that you can be.
We have already begun. If you are still with me, than you have the idea, as much as words without deeds can communicate it. Next I will begin the exercises, and elaborate each idea further.
Then I will do the whole thing over again, but with much more information about each Position.
,, SUMMARY: In a world that must of necessity be administered by, and for the lowest common denominator you are in the grip of a culture little changed since the Dark Ages. Now, in this time of Covid-19 and political correctness, there is little difference from the time of witch-burnings and the Inquisition. Which is bearable if you hold yourself apart from that primitive thought-system. I am comparing the culture about you to The Matrix, and this material is your Red Pill.
Kaitzen!
