The majority of people are more or less the slaves of heredity, environment, etc., and manifest very little Freedom. They are swayed by the opinions, customs and thoughts of the outside world, and also by their emotions, feelings, moods, etc. They manifest no Mastery, worthy of the name. They indignantly repudiate this assertion, saying, "Why, I certainly am free to act and do as I please — I do just what I want to do," but they fail to explain whence arise the "want to" and "as I please." What makes them "want to" do one thing in preference to another; what makes them "please" to do this, and not do that? Is there no "because" to their "pleasing" and "wanting"? The Master can change these "pleases" and "wants" into others at the opposite end of the mental pole. He is able to "Will to will," instead of to will because some feeling, mood, emotion, or environmental suggestion arouses a tendency or desire within him so to do.

well, u kno, most people are born 'tards.

not like they could help it.

they simply r given no choice in the matter.

i guess the question then becomes how do you treat, or react 2 tha tards?

u can't hate a mosquito 4 biting u.

it is just doing the job it was assigned.

h8tin tards would be foolsih.

they probably didnt want to b tards in the 1st place.

But you.

You seem to think you can evolve beyond your current level of being.

How and why do you think this thing?

It is the nature of all things to evolve. More on that in the book I linked to. My evolution is causing me to think this thing.

current level

Your wording reveals that you already understand this on some level.

My reading comprehension skills, when last tested, far exceeded those of a common 5th grader, at least in the USA.

That happened in High School, so I assume that my comprehension skills have grown exponentially since.

How would you take the next step?

I've been working on my Throat Chakra.
https://www.chakras.info/opening-throat-chakra/

I know you write poetry here, and that's a great exercise for the Throat Chakra, but is this limited to just anonymous posting online? (I'm asking for you to answer to yourself, not to me.)

The greatest way imo to activate the Throat Chakra is by saying what you need to say, in spite of whatever the consequences may be, overcoming fear of judgement. And I mean IRL where consequences could really impact your life, for better or for worse. This plays into the whole redpill alpha-male thing. Generally people will respect your confidence and consequences won't be as bad as you're worried they could be, and this new prestige you earn can open up new possibilities in your life.

Tying back to the passages I quoted, this is about imposing your Will upon your environment, rather than the other way around. And if your Will is righteous - aligned to higher Law, then you can harness the power of higher Law against the oppressive circumstances of the lower planes.

But the Masters, knowing the rules of the game, rise above the plane of material life, and placing themselves in touch with the higher powers of their nature, dominate their own moods, characters, qualities, and polarity, as well as the environment surrounding them and thus become Movers in the game, instead of Pawns — Causes instead of Effects.

No problem, enjoy. There's another reading list in the /fringe/ FAQ I pulled off of 8chan before it went down, but many of the books are the same. I also pulled this reading list off of another chan: https://pic8.co/sh/jrbFrK.png

EDIT: I have most of the books from that reading list, so if you're having trouble finding them, let me know, I'll put them up somewhere.
