Today Henry and Harrison Talk about two insights they have had from the past few days.

Death by Conclusion: There is an inherited limitation in the human experience which is the automated protection and prediction mechanism of the mind. The danger is if I allow the mind to predict the effect of a particular cause before I engage in the action. If I allow this unconscious prediction process, new action and new efforts will often not be taken because the mind will induce a spirit of discouragement through envisioning a non-compelling predictable outcome. Thinking “I already know what is going to happen,” is one of the greatest discouraging mantras. 

There is a magic to sincere action across time which cannot be factored into our linear cognitive processing. The magic is not in the immediate effects, but the ripple throughout time of consistent inputs amplifying together naturally. These actions create a force of character that is cumulative, that can never be predicted; again, the mind that indulges in this reflexive resistance, which shows up as an unconscious prediction, is not factoring in non-linear progress. The mind does not include these calculations, it cannot. So, make the plan, execute the plan, and disregard the projections from the mind that cannot factor in the possibility of actions being amplified overtime as their waves synchronize in harmony through gradual sincerity and the strengthening of will. 

Today Henry and Harrison talk about some of their favorite parts of Arnold's book The Education of a Bodybuilder.

Quotes:

"He was genuinely worried about me. He felt I wasn't normal. And of course he was right. With my desire and my drive, I definitely wasn't normal. Normal people can be happy with a regular life. I was different. I felt there was more to life than just plodding through an average existence. I'd always been impressed by stories of greatness and power." - Arnold

"... and I was crazy for it.... I was helpless." - Arnold

Quote: This means that he must have faith, for without this there can be neither progress nor achievement. He must believe in the desirability of purity, in the supremacy of righteousness, in the sustaining power of integrity; he must ever hold before him the Ideal and Perfect Goodness, and strive for its achievement with ever-renewed effort and unflagging zeal.  - James Allen

Henry and Harrison talk about recent insights from two of history's great thinkers.

Quotes:

EMERSON: "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried... We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope."

Today Henry and Harrison discuss their favorite insights from the past few days. This episodes topics are from the Book of Sirach and from G.K. Chesterton.

Quotes:

"If you are willing, my child, you can be disciplined

and if you apply yourself you will become clever.

Who is wise? Attach yourself to such a one.

If you see an intelligent person, rise early to visit him; let your foot wear out his doorstep."
