Efficiency = (Output ÷ Input) × 100%. Each person’s ability is established by their capacity. Their personal output cannot exceed their personal capacity. The way to overcome this is to acquire the skills and abilities of those whose outputs are required by a task or objective. If the potential of each mind is unlimited then why isn’t everyone unlimited in their expression? The fuel of ability is emotion. It doesn’t matter if the emotional fuel is fear or desire, fuel is fuel. A lazy and apathetic individual has not learnt or refuses to manipulate his amygdala in order to create the emotional fuel required for success.

As demonstrated by movies, comedy, the news and sports, how we perceive stimuli determines how we feel and how we feel is the fuel that is necessary for all endeavours. Resource deprivation creates poverty, hunger and homelessness. When artificially created by politicians, fear, hunger and poverty are tools. Emotions are the resources used by governments to remotely manipulate the amygdala of the populous. This is done by ‘indirectly’ programming the perception of whole societies.

Many people who leave their homes to go to work, and drop their children at school or childcare, would not go if they had enough money to live without working. Most people would also state that if given the choice they would do something else. Why don’t they? They don’t because they have been educated to look (perceive) outside of their self for their understanding. When we do look outside of ourself, we find schools, books, colleges, politics and religion. These forms of knowledge are emotionless.

We do everything for the feeling. To learn to code means we must understand the language and apply it to create functions. There is little or no emotion in learning to code. This means that for many, there is insufficient motivational emotional fuel. In terms of capturing the mind’s attention causing it to focus, there must be emotional fuel. This fact is established by those who play computer games, bet on horse racing or watch a movie. The pay off is the feelings we get from the stimulus our awareness is observing. Every emotional response ‘without exception’ is a perceptually induced neurochemical response.

Perception reveals understanding. One individual’s understanding of perceived stimulus may be different to another person’s understanding of the same stimulus. One person may find a button on a jacket boring. Another person finds the same button on the same jacket terrifying. The latter would be referred to as a phobia. What these contrasting responses reveal is the ‘technology’ that controls the mind. That technology is perception. This is a technology that has been exploited by governments, rules, religions and grifters since the Garden of Eden.

A hunter gatherer was motivated by the rewards that are delayed for the period it takes to find the food. This desire for the food was really a desire for the neurochemicals of the kill and the taste of the food and the feeling of being full. What is more pleasant, being hungry or eating a meal? This natural phenomenon has been exploited by the rulers of the world for centuries. The same biological engine that is at work for the hunter gatherer is at work, when a man is stood in a bookmakers, waiting for his horse to come over the finish line first.

There is a difference between going out and hunting and placing money on the counter of a bookmaker. The difference is that one requires the individual to do most of the work and the other does not. The emotional rewards from hunting result from the determination and skill of the hunter and the emotional results of gambling are outside of the control of the gambler. There can be no motivation without fuel. Using everyday terms, the fuel for motivation is emotions. More accurately each and every one of the emotions is a neurochemical.

We have been educated to understand this with an almost exclusive reliance on the term dopamine. This is unhelpful. Dopamine is a label given to a feeling that is generated by perception. This perception will be fixed to one or more stimuli. The feeling of winning the race may be what motivates the athlete to run. Winning the race may create what has been generically defined to be a dopamine hit. However, the feeling, regardless of its label is the prize. We do everything for the feeling.

We make friends for the feelings we feel. We stop talking to friends because of the feelings we feel. We fall in love and get married because of the feelings we feel. We put money on a horse in anticipation of the feelings we will feel. Its not the money or the fame that we crave it’s the feelings that fame, winning, sex and companionship give us. But we also rob, rape, kill and tell lies for the feeling. The feelings an addict feels when he consumes the drugs, he bought with money he stole from an elderly lady he murdered are more important than his victim.

The feelings a rapist feels when raping an innocent child are more important to the rapist, than the child. The feelings we feel when we get the job. The feelings we feel when we get fired from our job. In life, we do everything for the feeling! The mind is operated by a technology and if we do not understand this, we will ruin relationships, commit crime, go to prison, become addicts and grow old, lonely, isolated and bitter. Most people alive today do not know that they have power and sovereignty over their own mind. The mind is an instrument that can do anything.

The mind can rob, kill and steal, or it can create technologies and build cities. The mind of the most successful among us and everyone in prison is equal in its potential. When compared, the lives of each one of us are clearly not equal in their expression. A young man starting work as a hod carrier on a building site may be motivated by his wages. The job involves loading out bricks and, in some cases, mixing and loading out the mortar that is used by the bricklayer. Motivation is higher when the work to wages ratio is highest.

As previously stated, efficiency = (Output ÷ Input) × 100%. For example, a hod carrier working for 40 hours, earning £700 per week. The financial efficiency would be the hourly rate. Efficiency = £700 ÷ 40 hours = £17.50 per hour. Now if we compare this to a dentist who works a 40 hour week and earns £1,600 per week. Financial efficiency = 1,600 ÷ 40 hours = £40 per hour. In this example the Dentist is financially more efficient. This establishes the fact that in financial terms a Dentist is more financially efficient than a hod carrier.

Money rarely motivates. What motivates someone to go out and work is what money can buy. The complexities of motivation must be understood if we are to live meaningful lives. A person can be highly motivated towards success. Success is different for each of us. But a strong motivational goal is essential in life. We can call it a mission, a goal or an objective, but it must be so attractive that it compels us to keep going and prevents us from stopping or giving up. It must be our raison d’être.

The term “raison d’être” is French for “reason for being” or “purpose of existence.” Our happiness must become our North Star. It cannot be a person. It cannot be romantic. This is because in life we must be born again, to restore the personal sovereignty over our mind that our parents and ancestors lost. Fear like anxiety, excitement and anger are the biological fuel we all have the power to generate. If you are reading this from a prison cell, you have misused your mind. In your defence you didn’t understand what the mind and the emotions (neurochemicals) are for.

Looking for another person to make us happy is a refusal to do the work. We deny our personal responsibility when we seek out and find someone who is prepared to make our happiness their “raison d’être”. Love is selfless. Anyone now sitting in a one room apartment and giving a sizeable percentage of their income to an ex-wife who shares their bed with another man, who both live in the house he is paying for, who can only see his children at weekends will understand what is written here.

Marriage is a promise made before God, to God. The marriage ends when they separate. The only thing that can separate a couple in a loving marriage is death. We cannot make our love conditional. If our love is conditional, it means we are abusing and exploiting someone else, in order to use their fuel, which in this example, is their fear, to manipulate and control them. The amygdala is a biological tool that must be mastered if we are to achieve our life’s goals. If we do not restore personal sovereignty over our own mind, we cannot master our own amygdala.

If we do not restore sovereignty over our own mind, we will continue to be victims of a mind that has been programmed by others. Anyone who programmes your mind is not doing it for your benefit. To be born again, means that we must make the transition from victims of our personal psychology to masters of our biology. Trauma, addiction, procrastination and apathy are sustained because all of the institutions are emotionally illiterate. Emotional literacy is a survival skill that can turn a pauper into a prince. Prisons are full of emotionally illiterate individuals.

The fuel for success is emotion. The barrier to success is emotion. Desire and fear are equally powerful but anomalous in their results. Desire is the inevitable result of perceiving something in a particular way. Fear is the inevitable result of perceiving something in a particular way. A change in perception can transform a life. Perception is how we see things. The Ego is what we must become and embody to be accepted by the world. It is given an ID and used by officials who check our passport.

Those who control us are on the look out for those who are awake. The identity is a mind virus. A puppy must repetitively be called by a noise before it answers to that noise and no other. It will then grow to be a dog that answers to its name and no other. This is exactly how we were domesticated. The method is a concept known as a ‘conditioned response’. After a while, the conditioned response creates a false perspective. You are not your given name. You are unique but you are not the identity that was assigned to you.

Only those who are domesticated can travel vicariously through the ego identity. Only those who are domesticated can live in a Muslim society. Only those who were domesticated could live in a Christian society. For these existential models of existence to work an individual must deny any forms of expression that is forbidden by the rules and laws of the existential model. So, we conform! What does this mean? It means that it is not you who is being educated, it’s the operating system that is the identity that is being programmed and reprogrammed.

It’s not you who applies for the job, it the dysfunctional psychological complex that now operates your egoic (mind of identity) mind. It’s not you who goes on holiday. It’s not you who gets married. So how is this life so convincing? The body! The mind is a subtle form of the body. The body is a denser form of the mind. Your mind is programmed to control your body. Your body tastes the food, drinks the alcohol and has sex. It is because you feel all of these experiences through the body’s senses that you say, I did this or I did that. No!

Just like the prisoner who is in jail, he was compelled by his emotions, oblivious to how he and others had programmed his mind. He also experienced the experiences. He smoked the weed. He bought the cocaine. He sold the cocaine and bought the Mercedes and expensive clothes. In the programmed minds of the judge and jury, he is guilty. The defendant was never aware of the fact that he had full control over his own mind, even though he knew he had the ability to manipulate and control others.

Until we realise, that we are not free, we are not free. We are not free to fully embody any situation. You are the feeling and the creator of the feeling. The creator experiencing his own creation. Our unique life is unfolding exactly as we created it. Some are living the life of an unemployed person, who depends on benefits. Some are living the life of an apprentice with aspirations to be a skilled tradesperson. Some are living a life of crime, where they break the rules to achieve the financial results that others earn through legal work.

Some are hoping and wishing for rewards they didn’t earn. What is lacking? If our lives are lacking it is because we lack ability. Ability is a treasure that cannot be stolen. Ability must be earned. The level of a person’s ability is dependent on having an equal level of understanding, but understanding alone does not equate to ability. Many people who have sufficient understanding to do things are compromised by procrastination. Ability requires understanding, but understanding doesn’t necessarily lead to ability.

Ability requires practice and repetition. Practice must have benchmarks in order that quantitative evaluations can take place. For example, a competent bricklayer may be required to lay 600+ bricks in a day that are plumb and comply with the drawings (dimensions) and specification (quality). If an apprentice learns about brickwork technology in college, he/she begins to expand their understanding. But understanding alone will not make them bricklayers. They must start laying bricks and checking the quality and quantity against the defined criteria for competence.

When the behaviours and results consistently conform to the criteria that determines skilled, we are skilled. This requires us to manage our mind’s perception in order to manipulate our amygdala so that we generate the emotional fuel for learning. For some it is the carrot (desire/motive) for others it is the stick (fear/anxiety). These extremes are not healthy, but they do work. An individual can spend a decade developing their ability in a sport, practicing almost every day, if not physically, then in terms of contemplating how to develop new skills or overcome stubborn plateaus.

In Western society individuals are encouraged to consume. As children we have birthday parties and consume sugar, carbohydrates and things that we enjoy the taste of. As adults we consume alcohol, drugs and listen to and watch content produced ‘by others’. What we are not doing whilst engaged in these activities is producing. Every technology on earth was first created in the mind before it was expressed in the world. What does this establish? It establishes that we have the innate ability to create.

Consumption is addictive, but it’s no substitute for producing. The mind that works in the factory is equal in its potential to the mind of the person who owns the factory. What does the employee lack that the employer does not? Understanding and ability! Ability is determined by understanding but not necessarily the effect of it. There can be no ability that exceeds understanding. All endeavours require sufficient emotional fuel. An addict feels so good when they take the drug, whilst having an awareness of how they feel when they don’t.

The emotional fuel that is derived from taking the drug is fuelling the emotions (desire) and perceived need to take the drug. This is why addiction is so powerful, it creates a self-perpetuating desire (internal) for the consumption (external) of a substance. If an addict could use their own internal motivation and desire in the active pursuit of other goals, they would be unstoppable. Procrastination is caused by a lack of emotional fuel. Addiction is caused by the addict’s knowledge of the fact of the emotional reward felt when they consume the addictive stimulus.

People who are content with their life are not ambitious. This is because they already experience a quality of life that those who work all the hours for money do not. People who are content do not suffer from procrastination. Procrastination is caused by a wish for something that we lack the emotional fuel to actually get around to doing. How could we have become so ineffectual? The reason is found in our history. Not too long ago slavery was used in many jurisdictions throughout the world.

The European economy operated on a system called feudalism. Feudalism relied upon a form of slavery called serfdom. If a serf didn’t work, they didn’t eat and the land they lived on was owned by the land owner. They couldn’t be bought or sold, but they needed a roof over their head and food and water. So, they worked to live. Their emotional fuel was survival. Survival is the most powerful motivator. It manifests as the fight or flight response. It can manifest as fear, phobia or a complete absence of compassion. We do everything for the feeling! Everything!

Emotions are the fuel that sustain us. Emotions are also the only prize in life worth pursuing. In folk tales and faery tales, the happy ever after or the pot of gold is the prize waiting for the hero who can overcome the challenges along the way. When the prize of our endeavours is happiness and giving up is certain death, our conscious and unconscious will autonomously create powerful feelings (neurochemicals) to drive us to success. The push/pull complex. The minds of most people are being operated by a push (fear) and a pull (desire) complex.

This push and pull could be that I hate my job, but I have to pay bills and I love alcohol and like buying nice things. For most people alive today, this is how they are managing the miraculous resource that is their mind. This delivers a quality of life that is not much more than survival. With the exception of evenings, which are spent in recovery from the day’s work and weekends, there is very little relief from the constant neurochemical (emotional) pressures of the psychological complex that we call life. We call this existence normality.

When an individual becomes aware of the complex but feels powerless to undo it, they usually seek the help of a Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Doctor, Hypnotherapist or religious minister. All of these professionals assist the patient in their efforts to deal with the unwanted effects/symptoms of their predicament. None of them bring to the attention of the patient the fact that the unwanted complex is simply caused by the way in which they are unwittingly and, in most cases, unknowingly managing the amazing resource that is their own mind.

There are people who don’t want to work, but must work to earn money to pay the bills. They fear homelessness whilst still desiring the things that only money can buy. An extreme example of the ‘push (fear) pull (desire) complex is the story of the Israelites. The Israelites choice was to leave Egypt (Exodus) or live in slavery. Once you understand the “technology” of your own emotions, you are no longer at the mercy of your personal mind’s “operating system.” A believer’s mind is operated by the beliefs he/she has placed their faith in.

If you are reading this in a prison cell, consider the fact that your mind’s potential is equal to the greatest among us. This is because the potential of each and every mind is equal and that potential is unlimited. Ability is not an innate gift, but a treasure that must be earned through understanding, effort and repetition. Nobody can do our work for us. We must restore personal sovereignty and start doing the work that is necessary to develop the abilities to create real independence.

Many belief systems are literal mind viruses. They grow and spread to contaminate every area of life. But like most viruses, the way to render them harmless before they take hold is to understand a little of what each of them are. So, we must understand what belief systems are. The most damaging mind viruses to humanity are religions, cults and political ideologies. The religions of Islam, Christianity, Judaism have created much death. Then there are the political concepts which create implied or explicit models of existence.

The concepts of Communism, Nationalism, Diversity, Patriotism, Multiculturalism, Feminism, Racism and Transgenderism have caused much damage, justifying what in the eyes of God cannot be justified. Christ is our only example. No religion, movement or ideology can provide a better example to mankind. How can all these different religions and ideologies live and thrive without the threat of attack from the others? Separation! We must never adopt an archetypal belief system that prevent our natural God-given expression.

We must consciously choose what ‘if anything’ to consider as fact and only in the form of a hypothesis. We can only believe what we do not know. This means that every belief without exception has our faith and we have therefore placed our faith in something that we don’t know is fact. Experience is fact. Let’s use an example of where reality doesn’t fit the model. If we take a patio area of 50m2 and calculate how many 900mm x 600mm slabs we can fit into this area, we simply divide 50m2 by the area of a slab.

The area of a slab that is 900mm x 600mm is 0.54m2. Therefore, if we divide 50 by 0.54, we get the number of slabs required. It would look like this:

50.00 / 0.54 = 92.59 slabs

If we round this up to 93 slabs, we mathematically calculate the number of slabs required. However, the model is not reality. Reality rarely fits the model. The shape and configuration of our 50m2 is likely to require cuts and many of those offcuts will not fit other areas of the patio. What does this mean? It means we must make allowances for reduction in useable slabs, caused by the generation of waste when cutting. The size of each offcut is equal to the reduction in useable slabs. If you generate 2.7 m2 in waste from your 93 slabs, you won’t have enough left to finish.

What does this mean? It means that whilst the mathematical model works, it only works within the contemplated situation. The contemplated model is always perfect. The models of law, education and manufacturing are all perfect. However, as the results of their application become evident those models will change, establishing that the original model was nothing more than a hallucination. In 1952 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) published the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

In 1952 the DSM recorded 106 diagnoses each considered to be a model by which the same symptoms observed in others, would result in the ‘correct’ diagnosis. In 2022 the manual, the DSM-5-TR (published in 2022), listed 298 mental disorders. This reveals that the original model was incomplete. If we also look at treatment plans for many of these disorders, we find them to be ineffectual. However, these mind viruses, when they take hold, tend to become law in the mind of the believer who will argue and debate for their relevance and continued use.

It is essential, where possible, to test any model before allowing it to become part of the existential software that operates our own mind. A criminal’s mind virus is harmful to others. An alcoholic’s mind virus is primarily but not exclusively harmful to self. The expressed and observed behaviour that creates a criminal, an addict or a lazy person is always a mind virus that our faith allowed to enter our mind to become our opinion and place limits upon our own volition. We can only remove our personal mind’s efficiency cap by consciously and deliberately removing our faith in all limiting beliefs.
