1. Bro, if you wanna level up in life, start enjoying and owning what you want now without tripping over your own happiness. Forget about the past and trust the universe to guide you in the future. Focus on being pure and righteous by accepting whatever comes your way as fate and always keeping it real. Don’t let haters or your physical desires hold you back. When it’s your time to dip, be ready to bounce without a care, focusing on your inner self and spirit. Don’t stress about the future or trippy stuff that’s out of your control. Just vibe with the flow and stay true to yourself, fam.

2. God sees inside our heads and brains, stripped down and straight up from these physical bodies and appearances, and all the earthly junk. Because with His simple and pure understanding, He sees deep into our innermost and purest parts, which originated and came from Him like water flowing through a pipe. If you also do this, you’ll free yourself from all the baggage weighing you down. Basically, if you stop caring so much about your body, your clothes, your house, or any external stuff, you’ll feel a lot more at peace. There are three main components that make you, you: your body, your life, and your mind. Your body and life belong to you to an extent, but your mind is truly yours. So if you detach yourself from what other people think or do, as well as any worries about the future, and anything outside your control like accidents or bad luck, your mind can live freely by itself. Live by what’s fair, accept whatever comes your way, and always tell the truth. If you separate your mind from negative influences, focus on the present, and live harmoniously like Empedocles’ mythical sphere – well-rounded and all that – and only think about the current moment, you’ll be able to live the rest of your days peacefully and gracefully, aligned with the spirit inside you.

3. I’ve always been curious why people care more about what others think of them than their own opinions. Like, if we were told to only say what we truly think, we’d freak out. We’re more worried about others judging us than our own thoughts.

4. Why did the Gods do everything right and nice, but forget about bringing back good men who died? It would’ve totally made sense for them to come back to life, considering all the good stuff they did. If this isn’t the case, then for sure the Gods wouldn’t have set it up this way if it wasn’t supposed to be like that. It seems like the universe could have handled it if it was fair, but since it’s not, we can be pretty sure the Gods knew what they were doing. If they weren’t fair and good, we wouldn’t even dare to question them like this. But since they are, it wouldn’t make sense for them to mess up anything when creating the world.

5. Keep trying even with things that you initially think are impossible. Like, the left hand may seem weak ’cause it isn’t used as much, but it can hold the bridle stronger than the right ’cause it’s been trained to do so.

6. Think about who we should strive to be, both in mind and body, when death comes knocking; how short life is; the vastness of time stretching before and after us; the fragility of material possessions. Reflect on the true nature of things, stripped of all illusions. Consider the reasons behind everything, the true purposes of our actions, the nature of pain, pleasure, death, and fame. Remember that each person is responsible for their own peace and cannot be truly hindered by others. Realize that everything is just a matter of perception. When applying these teachings, act more like a multi-talented fighter than a traditional gladiator. Stay adaptable and agile, able to respond to any challenge with ease.

7. Bruh, you gotta peep all the stuff in the world and break it down into its components like material, structure, and purpose, ya feel?

8. How lit is it for a dude to have all this power given to him: he doesn’t have to do anything unless it’s cool with God, and he can just vibe with whatever God sends his way?

9. What so ever goes down in the usual flow of nature, the Gods (cuz there’s no way they’d mess up on purpose or by accident) or humans (cuz it’s cuz of not knowing and not on purpose that they mess up) shouldn’t be blamed. So, no one should be blamed.

10. OMG, why is he so shook over basic stuff that happens all the time in life?!

11. If it’s all about fate, like some absolute must-do or a chill divine plan, then everything’s just random chaos, you feel me? If it’s the whole must-do vibe, why u gotta fight it? But if it’s more of a chill and understanding plan, then get on that godly level, ya know? If it’s all just chaos with no rules, then hey, be proud that in this crazy mess, you still got the power to control your own life, ya dig? But even if everything’s crazy around you, remember that your mind and soul stay grounded, even if your physical stuff gets swept away. Keep that inner light shining bright, stay true to yourself no matter what.

12. At the thought that someone did somethin’ wrong, just think to yourself: Like, do I really know if this is actually a sin, like for real? And even if it is, who’s to say that person hasn’t already felt super guilty about it? It’s basically like someone scratching their own face, it’s more sad than anything. Plus, trying to stop a bad person from sinning is like tryna stop a fig from bein’ juicy, or puppies from bein’ born, or a horse from neighing – it’s just how things naturally go. So, if you’re all smart and persuasive, go ahead and try to fix it if you can.

13. If it ain’t right, don’t do it. If it ain’t true, don’t say it. Always stay true to yourself and do what you want without any pressure or obligation.

14. Yo, when you encounter something, like really think about what it’s all about, break it down into its different parts: the appearance, the substance, its purpose, and how long it’s meant to stick around.

15. Like, dude, you gotta realize that there’s something within you that’s way better and like, more divine than your emotions or your basic desires. What am I even focusing on right now? Is it fear, suspicion, or lust? Always think before you act, with a clear purpose in mind. And that purpose should always be for the greater good. Because, seriously, we’re only here for a short time and everything is gonna change eventually, so don’t get too attached to material things or people.

16. Remember that everything is just subjective, and opinions are based on one’s mindset. When you remove your opinion, it’s like being in a safe harbor where everything is calm and steady, free from any storms or chaos. Just like the poet described it.

17. Like, when something stops happening, it’s like not even a big deal, you know? Like, if a guy finishes doing something, it’s like, okay cool, it’s done. And even the guy who did that thing can’t really be affected by it ending, you feel me? It’s like, our whole life is just a bunch of stuff we do, so if it stops, it’s whatever, not really a bad thing. And the person who decides to end it all isn’t even gonna suffer, because it’s just part of nature doing its thing. Everything always changes, but that’s just how things are, you know? Death isn’t even like a bad thing, ’cause it’s not like we can control it and it’s kinda good for the bigger picture. I mean, it’s all part of the plan, so if you’re cool with that, then you’re like, totally in sync with the universe, man.

18. These 3 things u gotta always be ready for: 1. Think about how u act, make sure it’s just and fair. And how u react to stuff that happens to u, whether it’s random or meant to be. Don’t blame it on luck or fate, it ain’t right. 2. Think about our bodies, how they change from birth to death, what they’re made of, and how they break down. 3. Remember how meaningless things are when looking from above, seeing how things change and how small they are compared to the big universe. Don’t get too full of yourself, it’s all temporary.

19. Throw shade on that opinion, and you’ll be chillin’. What’s stopping you from letting it go? When something’s buggin’ you, have you forgotten that everything’s happenin’ as it should in the universe? It’s on them who messed up, not you. Also, remember that what’s goin’ down now has been goin’ down forever and will keep happenin’ everywhere. We’re all connected by our minds, not by blood or genes. Your mind is a piece of the universe, man, and nothing really belongs to you, not even your kid, body, or life. They all come from the same source. Everything’s just opinions, and the only time that really matters is the present. So when a person dies, they’re not losing more than just a moment.

20. Just think about all those people who once got super mad about something, or were super famous or going through a tough time, or just straight up hated each other. And remember, all that drama is now gone. It’s all just a bunch of smoke and ashes, maybe not even that much. Think about dudes like Fabius Catulinus, Lucius Lupus, Stertinius, Tiberius, and Velius Rufus who were all about that intense life. It’s so much cooler to go through life with true simplicity, being fair and chill in every situation, following the vibes of the universe. And let’s be real, thinking you’re too cool to be cool is the worst kind of arrogance.

21. Like, if someone’s all like, “Where have you even seen the Gods, and how do you know 100% that they exist, that you’re so dedicated to worshiping them?” my response is basically: first off, you can kinda see them in some way with your own eyes. And secondly, I’ve never actually seen my own soul, but I still value and show it respect. So, with the Gods, from my everyday experience of their influence and care over me and people around me, I definitely know they’re real and that’s why I worship them.

22. Basically, happiness in life comes from understanding everything and always doing what’s right and telling the truth. So, the key is to keep on doing good things without stopping, and just enjoy life as you go along.

23. There’s only one sun shining down on us, even if stuff like walls and mountains get in the way. And there’s only one substance that makes up everything, even if it’s in lots of different bodies. Same goes for the soul – there’s one main one, even if it’s in a bunch of different forms. The same idea applies to the intellectual soul too. And when it comes to minds and spirits, they all want to connect and be united. It’s like a special bond that can’t be broken or separated.

24. What do you want? To live a long life. What? To have a rich emotional experience; or fulfill your desires? Or do you want to experience growth and then decline again? Do you want to always be able to communicate, think and reflect on your own thoughts? Which of these things do you think is most important to you? If you realize that none of these are truly valuable, then move on to the last option, which is to always follow a higher power and logic. But for someone to be upset about losing these things through death goes against both God and logic.

25. Like, think about how short life is in the grand scheme of things, and how quickly it goes by in the world. We only get a tiny part of time and existence, so it’s important to focus on doing what feels true to ourselves and aligning with what feels natural.

26. What’s the tea on my understanding right now? Because that’s what really matters. Everything else is out of my control, and if I can’t control it, then it’s basically irrelevant to me, just like straight-up useless.

27. To gas up a dude to not care about death, one key thing is that even people who thought happiness was all about pleasure and pain was the worst still weren’t that bothered about dying. And like, if your vibe is to only dig what’s chill and normal, then why trip about death, y’know? Whether you’ve been living large for ages or just a hot minute, it’s all good. As a human, you’ve been chilling in this world town for a bit. It shouldn’t bug you if it’s time to dip out, dude, it’s all part of the plan, ya know? It’s all good, man, just go with it.
