Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first person to go into a situation is often carrying a shotgun. This is because the suspects have a very intense fight-or-flight reaction when they first see law enforcement officials. They are usually doing drugs as well as selling them, and this makes them about as violent and unpredictable as humans get.
#2 You should be able to identify and dissolve most of the mind clouds that keep you from seeing your own North Star. This takes a lot of practice, but it will bring you inner peace and help you build your outward empire.
#3 What we think would bring us happiness often won’t bring us the satisfaction we seek. What we’re really after when we yearn for something is a feeling state. In the spaces below, write a word or two that best describes the feeling state you’d get from having each of the things you want.
#4 The four feeling states we all desire are peace, security, belonging, and comfort. We think we’ll get these feelings by getting anything from an Olympic gold medal to our parents’ approval. But external circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The first person to go into a situation is often carrying a shotgun. This is because the suspects have a very intense fight-or-flight reaction when they first see law enforcement officials. They are usually doing drugs as well as selling them, and this makes them about as violent and unpredictable as humans get.

#2

You should be able to identify and dissolve most of the mind clouds that keep you from seeing your own North Star. This takes a lot of practice, but it will bring you inner peace and help you build your outward empire.

#3

What we think would bring us happiness often won’t bring us the satisfaction we seek. What we’re really after when we yearn for something is a feeling state. In the spaces below, write a word or two that best describes the feeling state you’d get from having each of the things you want.

#4

The four feeling states we all desire are peace, security, belonging, and comfort. We think we’ll get these feelings by getting anything from an Olympic gold medal to our parents’ approval. But external circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.

#5

It's easy to see that in everyday human interactions, most situations come from feeling states rather than feeling states coming from situations. When you push, grab, manipulate, or pursue people, they start to feel as though you're a huge mutant version of the bird-flu virus.

#6

To test your Stargazer mindset, go into a public place and think of someone you need to get approval from. Notice how people interact with you. Then, go into that same place the next day and think of everyone loving and adoring you.

#7

The more you use your imagination to go to an end-state, the more you will realize that you are experiencing life from the perspective of the Stargazer. You will not have created an illusion that life is good and your real dreams will come true; you will have dispelled the illusion that life is a bitch and then you die.

#8

You can rewire your brain by forming positive associations instead of negative ones. It’s like driving a car down a rutted road, but refusing to let the tires skid into the old ruts. You have to deliberately steer yourself into positive associations to wear new ruts into your brain.

#9

I stumbled upon the practice of treasuring when I was suffering from multiple diseases. I would imagine what it would feel like to have what I wanted, and my diseases would run in reverse.

#10

To do this exercise, take a 10-minute break from the rest of your life and sit in a quiet place. Choose one item from your list of heart’s desires and imagine that you’ve already got it. Create a detailed fulfilled-desire scenario in your mind and preview the way that scene will affect each of your senses.

#11

Back-ward living is a common trait of the magical people in many traditional cultures. They may see life more accurately than people who can only look forward.

#12

The contrarian instinct, the wrong reaction, and the socially unacceptable statement is often the seed of destiny. If you remember feeling painfully unacceptable, especially during your youth, you might want to explore those memories for truths your subsequent socialization thrashed out of you.

#13

The exercise is meant to help you regain the backwardness that was actually your destiny struggling to become conscious. Most of us weren’t born with that much contrarianism in us, and many have had our backward-vision squelched.

#14

The less you disapprove of your most contrarian impulses, the less angry, spiteful, and resistant you will be toward others. By embracing your inner brat, you calm down your inner child and bring more joy and simplicity to the process of following your bliss.

#15

Your life is made up of your Favorite Thing, which is the aspect of your life that you enjoy the most. Your life is made up of your Favorite Thing, which is the aspect of your life that you enjoy the most, and your Other Things, which are the aspects of your life that you don’t enjoy as much.

#16

The event that led to your Favorite Thing is just one example of how events can be linked to create a chain. For example, the event that led to your Favorite Thing might be that you moved out of the city and took in a stray dog, who then became yourFavorite Thing.

#17

Reverse the order of your life events and think about one piece of bad luck that helped your Favorite Thing come into your life. This could be a damage far back in your childhood that made you a crusader for justice, a health condition that forced you to think carefully about how you use your time, or a financial disaster that led to a career change.

#18

The process of telling your life story from the backward perspective of the Stargazer is simple substitution. Instead of saying This bad thing happened once, but then later, some good thing happened, tell the story this way: My destiny was to have my Favorite Thing. Therefore, this bad thing happened in order to make my Favorite Thing possible.

#19

The Stargazer’s viewpoint is that everything is meant to create something good, and that the past is a parade of events that are all meant to create something good. This is no more arbitrary than creating a post hoc interpretation of your life as a meaningless parade of events that usually end badly.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The Bag Lady Fear is common among people who have accumulated a lot of money. They fear that they will run out of money and end up a bag lady. However, the real Louise, the cheerful, fun-loving, and high-achieving woman, has disappeared. In her place, entrenched in her materialist world-view, sits Louise the reptile.

#2

The entire purpose of your reptilian brain is to constantly broadcast survival fears, which fall into two categories: lack and attack. You can’t simultaneously be both the serpent and the Stargazer, the inner lizard and the inner wizard. You can choose to ignore the former and tune in to the latter.

#3

There are, however, exceptions to the fear of poverty. Some people, like Alyssa, have no scarcity fears whatsoever and seem to have a natural resiliency that allows them to escape poverty.
