Posimistic Letter 001 - June 1st, 2021 (Copy)

Dear pioneer,

The world has an orange glow around it. In a world that profits from you losing, the self-improved individuals are seen as the enemy. Greed drives these executives to make as much money off you from selling you sugared water, keeping your family in constant fear, and pulling you back from achieving greatness.

This ain't gonna happen for longer. I can tell you that with full confidence because I've felt a shift. Beginning of the new year (2021), we saw a glimpse of what the institution's real motives are. Keeping the poor poorer while making the greedy greedier. We saw this with the small example of the GME stock outcry.

The shift has begun...

And what better way to start this new shift with the first-ever edition of the Posimistic Letter!

This monthly letter will aid you on your journey towards greatness. By reading, you're not only going to become the best version of yourself, but you're also going to pave the way for society to follow. The reason there's so much suffering in the world is all due to ignorance. These people don't know any better. Those who know better, have a moral duty to enlighten those around them. Your future grandchildren are looking up to you as inspiration, they need you to step up to help prevent them from going through this period again. Do it for them.

The Past Society: Contracted. Bottom line focused. One person loses so the other wins (LOSE/WIN)

The New Society: Integrated. Systems Thinking. Abundance. Everyone wins (WIN/WIN/WIN)

This is going to be an experimental journey for these next 12 months. The Posimistic Letter is designed to get you thriving. Thriving in business, Thriving in health, thriving in relationships, & thriving in existential bliss from the void. You'll also see me document my own journey to greatness with these letters. So there's no reason why in 1 year's worth of content, you won't be thriving in whatever you choose to focus on.

The letters I will be sending you on the 1st of every month will help you enter the thriving stage of what I like to call my internal human development model. We'll discuss this model as the first topic in this issue. You'll notice the majority of society falls into the 2nd stage: surviving. If you're an ambitious individual, you'll easily fall aligned into Stage 3: Thriving.

These letters will ensure you keep your soul and get wealthy at the same time. If you're up for the task and you're interested, then buckle up relax, and enjoy the first-ever issue of the Posimistic Letter.

My mission with these letters

To help you THRIVE in the new integrated/decentralized society (Thriving in the big 3 aspects of your life: Health, Wealth, & Spiritual Self).

🌟IHD: How This Simple Development Model Changed My Life & Will Help You Understand Human Nature (Internal Human Development)

What the heck is IHD? IHD is short for Internal Human Development. I've combined a wide array of human development models into ONE. The name doesn't really matter, I think Spiral Dynamics should rather be called Internal Human Development instead. But hey, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. I'm gonna be sharing with you in this letter and future issues what all these models are and how you can use them to get happier & wealthier. So let's dive in!

Here is the most up-to-date IHD model in one frame! You can learn everything there is about this model in this one photo.

Caution

I must caution you that this whole model is a huge generalization. Especially since it's being visualized with memes. Ignore the memes. The memes help out a ton, but this model's real meat comes from the common characteristics on the right side. After all, it is called "internal' human development, not 'external' human development lol.

There are 2 energies: Masculine & Feminine. Personally, throughout history, these labels have had different names. Personally, I'm not attached to any label or anything (fuck them labels :)), but I do recognize that there are 2 opposing energies we give off. The labels for each energy are constantly changing.

Nothing on the external determines where you land on this model. This means, your:

gender
skin color
race
weight
fashion sense
Job title
etc

doesn't matter.

Some people are thriving but don't struggle with their weight

The IHD Model

Energies, Values, & Actions

What I'm proposing, if you want to reach your highest potential, is you need to utilize BOTH masculine & feminine energies, actions, and values. Having too much or too little of something leads to chaos. (P.S. This piece of advice is not only applicable in this case but for everything. Eating too many calories leads to fat storage. Eating too little leads to nutrient loss, muscle loss, and so forth. You wanna be just right. Find your sweet spot).

Let's take this stage by stage starting with the first stage: Suffering

Stage 1 - Suffering

This stage has 2 qualifications and is the most generalized stage out of the model. Originally when I created this model back in April 2019, It had 4 stages:

But as of 5 months ago, I realized that the last 2 stages are very similar. I was on google finding memes to add and after 38 minutes I quickly realized "YOOOOO, hol up, these are the exact same stages." So I combined them since.

(Side Note: As of April 5th, I'm realizing that maybe 'No Masculinity, No Femininity' isn't a thing at all! What does it mean if you don't use any of those energies? I may delete this label soon. We will see what happens!).

The essence of 'Suffering' comes from the fact that these people adopt values, energies, & actions that have no femininity and only masculinity. Here are some of their common characteristics:

Hates
Arrogant
Deceptive
Desires Power Over Others
Stressed
Anxious
Easily Irritable
Desires Material Gain For Money, Sex, Status
Heavily Addicted
Narcissistic
Loud & Unempathetic
Anti-Social
Mostly Negative

I gotta stress this again bro, this is a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE generalization & a work in progress. So please don't take anything as final.

Surviving

Okay moving on to the second stage which I call surviving!

You'll notice that this is what mainstream society today is promoting. I was actually in this stage 5 years ago. I was what you would call today a simp or a soy boy. The reason why I was this way was because I grew up with a loving mother but a father who didn't have masculine values. At the time I wasn't very self-aware and I got bullied in school for being too soft. It wasn't until I started getting YouTube recommended self-improvement videos on my feed. And let me just say, your life can transform faster than you think. I don't know how or why I was recommended those videos but I owe my life to it. Picture this: A clueless 15-year-old boy doomed to grow up with the cards life gave him. When all of a sudden, gets his life turned around all because some computer algorithm recommended him Tai Lopez's "here in my garage" video. That boy was me. (Shit like this happens and people still think miracles don't exist haha).

Common Characteristics of Stage 2: Surviving

Shy
Low Self Esteem
Values Consumerism
Sensitive
Insecure
Trends Make Up His Style
Depressed
Unmotivated
Has An Unhealthy Addiction (probably porn)
Physically Unfit
Gets Butthurt Easily / Sore Loser
Victim mentality

Thriving

Welcome to the last stage of IHD! If you've made it here, I don't care what anyone or your bank account says, you have made it in life IMO (In my opinion). There are only less than 10% of people worldwide who are currently here (I got these numbers from spiral dynamics' data).

You'll notice right off the bat, the biggest benefit of entering the thriving stage is everything improves at the same. And it all starts internally inside your mind. If you decide to start an online business venture but you're still in the surviving category, you're going to struggle, run into roadblocks, and move fast but go nowhere. The last thing we want you to do is to get rich but lose your soul in the process... No Bueno.

IHD FAQ

Q: Is this verified & tested?

This model is in no way peer verified or lab tested (Ya boy lacks the millions of dollars for scientific testing). Although I've shown this model to a handful of my close friends, and they all agree this model is for the most part accurate. I made sure to tell them to not hold back on their raw thoughts since they're biased. I've known my close friends since high school. If they secretly thought my model was shit, they would let me know haha.

Q: How can I use this model?

A variety of ways! Here are a few ideas listed out:

Dating - Are you attracting the 3rd category? What category of people seem to make a move on you? Be careful not to marry the wrong person. Doing so will result in you landing in SUFFERING/SURVIVING territory.
Business partners - Use this model to scope out where your business partner is. Don't do business with someone who will sell your soul for profit behind your back. Show them this model. If they become resistant, this is a clear sign they're in either the first 2 stages.
Friendships - Similar to dating, you are the sum of the people you hang out with. If you want to have success with business, hang out with people with the same, if not bigger, ambition than you. Choose your friends wisely, my friend.

💸PLAYLISTS: Best Videos of 2019, 2020, 2021

2020 - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKbLC5woSAmgFMoDcQjNVchzFrleGKnR1

2019 - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKbLC5woSAmiVOZgB01RVvtZZ0lQTwQFr

Every year I create a playlist on January 1st titled "Best Videos of 20__." Throughout the year I will add YouTube videos I deem credible for this playlist. I encourage you to do the same.

What qualifications are needed for videos to be added in? Here are a few:

I go back, search for it, and re-watch it multiple times.
It made me laugh hard
It taught me something big
It was well made, edited, & carefully thought out
I can tell I'm gonna wanna re-watch them later on in life

And since you're subscribed to this letter you get access to all my playlists for free.

I've sold access to them for $5 (someone paid $20 once, thank you!) & I ask you to please treat these playlists as a gold mine. If you want to, feel free to create your own playlists. I don't mind one bit if you also sell your own (there is no such thing as competition when you're thinking in abundance, only collaboration).

The beauty about this is that you can also sell access to your own playlists, list them on gumroad.com (or any digital marketplace), and make money on autopilot. Sure, you're not going to be making thousands of dollars every month with this entry-level product. But how does getting an extra $100 a year sound for DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING & JUST LIVING YOUR LIFE? Sounds good if you ask me, but you can do whatever you want to do.

This is just the beginning of this new creator economy! You have endless opportunities to make money online doing what you love. There ain't any other period in time where this was available. Don't waste this opportunity. It's only a matter of time until the government comes in and regulates this market.

So not only did you get access to my own playlists, but hopefully you've created you're digital product listing to be able to make money!
