Accessing ”Godlike” Power

Accessing ''Godlike'' Power

I have become to respect Ant Middleton, a former special forces soldier. He’s charismatic on screen and has a great, almost philosophical answer to hard questions. But most people are more interested in how many has he killed and how, than listening to the amazing advice he is sharing.

I just saw an interview with him (video here, min 2:50) talking about what he calls ‘’The Godlike Feeling’’. Where he describes exactly what happens when bullets fly over your head. He goes on to saying that everything slows down and you are in full control of your body, and you feel you can almost control time. In other words, you are fully in the moment, ready and alert in perfect sync.

This is a well-documented fight or flight reaction. Where the brain perceives an immediate and imminent danger. And starts working at an extremely high speed. Every sense is heightened to the max. You see things in slow motion. It feels you have all the time in the world. It’s like being outside of time (think of Flash the superhero). You have time to think and react in milliseconds. Which to you feels like a long time.

I have never been in a gun fight, but I have had that experience…

When I was young, I used to love fireworks. And every New Year’s I would spend it at my Grandparents house with, back then, my best friend Aurel. One New Year’s we had those exploding fireworks. That you light and quickly throw and they explode. We decided it would be fun to hold them for longer and when the flame went out to throw them in the air. And they would explode up there. And it was fun.

But one of them. Blew up immediately in my face. At that point I have experienced the ‘’Godlike feeling’’ Ant is talking about. My brain sped up and I saw in slow motion the shrapnel from the firework flying all around my head. I remember being extremely calm and watching them go by with circles of smoke behind them. It felt it lasted for a long time. But it was less than a second. My brain positioned my head so perfectly that none of the shrapnel hit me. And I was able to have a happy New Year’s.

So how can we access this at will?

Well, the only state I know that resembles this is being in the ‘’Flow’’. When you’re in the flow you are all there. There is no thinking, just doing. You act on your training and use all your senses instantly. You have time to think and see everything clearly.

We need 3 things for this to occur…

  • let go of the result (the result does not matter, you just do your best in that moment)
  • let go of what you have (fame, money or anything that is tied to what you are doing, be willing to lose)
  • and accept whatever happens (accept losing and move forward)

Just focus on the next action. And see whatever happens as history!

Look at Larry Bird in this video . He doesn’t even look to see if the ball goes in the hoop. He just focuses on the next one. He has total detachment.  He misses and doesn’t even flinch. He goes right to the next. It’s all history until the next one. If you can do that. You’re in the flow or ”Godlike state”.

When Enough Is Enough

When Enough Is Enough

I was born one year after the revolution happened in Romania. It was the end of the communist era. Everyone thought it would be better. But shortly after, a big depression came. And people suffered.

I never knew my father and my mother married a guy because he had a flat in the city and not for love. She did what she thought would be good for me and her. The guy didn’t like to work so she worked extremely hard and was very stressed. Overworked and still with a communist mentality.

So, whenever stress would overwhelm her. Everything I did would annoy here and beat the s**t out of me. One time she beat me until 4am because I couldn’t learn a lesson, she wanted me to, for school. This was maybe second grade.

So, I was full of fears. I always ran from a fight. I became extremely shy. I couldn’t talk to girls, etc. And because of this I was bullied extensively up until 11th grade.

When I finished 11th grade, I was fed up with it. Enough was enough! I wanted a girlfriend. But I didn’t know how to act around a girl. So, I said I will search something on the internet. Back then the internet just appeared in Romania and was very slow. I searched and found one book called ‘’Double Your Dating’’ by David Deangelo.

It took me two hours to download the book. I learned English from cartoons. So, I read the book until 4 am and finished it the next day.

When you ask, and you’re ready the universe provides (this has happened to me many times in my life so far).

This was not a book about pickup lines or any of the sort. But this genius guy understood that there are so many people that can’t talk to girls because they’ve put them on a pedestal so high that they can’t even approach. Which made them be very shy. And he went on to explain that girls are just people, don’t like that pedestal thing and want to be treated like a human being.

Mind blown! I have never looked at it that way. So got out of my comfort zone. I changed my clothes (started to look at fashion). I would practice talking to any girl I could. And when 12th grade started. I went into the classroom and the girls in my class didn’t even recognize me.

I was dressed different; I could speak to them and be very funny and I had a crazy haircut with tribal signs. At the end of the first day one of the girls walked me home. She was in awe and tried to figure out why? How the radical change. I could see the fumes coming out of here ears. She couldn’t believe it. And I just enjoyed it.

From that point on I did not only have a girlfriend, but I would constantly be dating two girls at a time (I tried 3 but it was too time consuming 😊). I remember one time I called a girl after 3 months of getting her phone number. And she answered with ‘’I thought you would never call’’

There was no mistake, I wanted to be good at this. So, I experimented. I tried a lot of things. Saw what worked and what didn’t. And evolved into someone you would date, invite to parties, and have a good time with.

Moral of the story is…

When enough is enough you let go of fears and anxieties and just do. You act and accept the worst-case scenario. And that thing you feared, you will experience it. It will happen. I have been turned down buy a lot of girls. But it didn’t matter anymore. Because I was becoming somebody else. A better version of myself.

And I loved it!

On Trying To Be Good

On Trying To Be Good

In a nutshell trying to be good will only do one thing…

Make you be bad! So why is that…

Because no one can be truly good, truly pure. We are not built that way. And we know this inside, but we choose not to acknowledge it. Because that is what we are thought by the church, by our fathers and mothers…

‘’You must be good, or God will punish you’’

This statement has resounded in my head for a long time. And whenever I did something ‘’wrong’’. I expected to be punished, even though I didn’t want it.

So, I got the punishment. It happened like clockwork (what you expect and focus on you get). And that made me want to be even more a good person. And the cycle repeats and takes you down the rabbit hole farther and farther.

You will always be good and bad. You cannot have one without the other. Like you cannot have a coin without two faces or black without white. They come together. They are inseparable.

It’s true some people err toward one side or the other. And that is what we call good and bad people. But they are never intrinsically bad or good. Maybe that’s why we love Game of Thrones. Because you can relate to the villains as much as the heroes. Each one of them show they can be good and bad and err more toward one side in the end.

So, you need to stop stressing about trying to be good. About doing God’s will. And just accept it. Embrace your dark side and love it. Because it’s there to serve you in difficult situations. Read that again…

‘’It is there to serve you’’.

Do We Really Love God

Do We Really Love God

I used to be a very consistent church goer when I was younger. I credit this to my grandma, who kinda pushed me in that direction. So I went every Sunday. But it went terribly wrong…

I went there because I thought I should. All good people go to church don’t they. You have to repent for all your sins and be extremely good. Because that’s what God wants, doesn’t He. Or otherwise in his all mighty goodness will smite you. And you won’t go to heaven. 

Every Sunday I heard that. If it was not said, it was implied, we are all sinners and need to repent. So I believed it. I tried so hard to be a good christian and a good person. I had to let go of all my ”bad urges” and only be good.

Well I did  that for a couple of years until something happened. By consistently trying to be good. My brain had enough and started cursing God and all that is holly quite strongly in my mind. At first I freaked out. I said ”this couldn’t be, why is this happening to me”. Until one night I cried my eyes out. Balling uncontrollably. But here is the kicker. I wasn’t doing it because I loved God. But because I was afraid God will smite me. 

And that in a nutshell is what every good church goer is feeling. They can say as much as they want they are going to church because of love for God. But that’s not true, is it. And they try and try to love Him and if they’re honest with themselves they can’t.

The ”I’m doing this to help people myth”

The ''I'm doing this to help people myth''

I hear all the time people saying….

”Oh I feel I should put this stuff out because I want to help people”

They are making documentaries, or holding interviews with the people that helped them. And all sorts of things.

But the real truth of why they are trying to show the world these really great tools (and they might be great). Is because they still feel alone.

And deep down they need the reassurance that what they are doing actually works. I know I felt that way. And I used to tell everybody about them. More so when they were not working for me at that particular time.

It doesn’t mean they are bad people. But they just can’t see or don’t want to see that that is the case. So they go so out of their way to get this stuff out to ”help people”. That they lose themselves again.

And end up deeper in the hole.

So be aware of this and accept it. It’s ok to want to do it for yourself. It doesn’t have less value.

It just might give you power.
