As a black belt, this is how I prefer to roll, not driven by personal development or even the enjoyment of it. I roll because it is good in and of itself. I strive to give of myself generously and to take what comes my way openly, without apology.... Most of my time on the mat is spent guiding others, helping them navigate Jiu Jitsu. But when it’s my turn to roll, it becomes an experience that exists purely for its own sake. Jiu Jitsu is a ritual, not an outlet for pent-up emotions, nor is it a stage for personal theatrics. It transcends the release or display of personality. If anything, it functions as an escape from emotion and personality. Within this space of calm detachment, there emerges a kind of vision or fluency. This vision is the capacity to take the unpredictable and the unforeseen and seamlessly integrate it in a way that brings new meaning and value. Instead of feeling destabilized by the unexpected, allow it to deepen your perspective. The question is not how to avoid disruptions, but how to dance with them, absorb them, and become more adaptable through the encounter.show more

You’re the best at putting Jiu Jitsu into words, if words can even do it justice Thank you for sharing these 🙏🏼

This is by far my favorite way to roll. I think it helps with learning to just go with the flow and stay relaxed. As I get older I think it helps let me body train way more often.

Flow so smooth it could be a wave 🌊 I love how often you were able to just step over his legs into a side control and the amount of ease it was to even lock up that darce? Anaconda? And how quickly you just transition back and forth between sides without a sweat.

Well stated! I find myself mostly in this state of mind and strive to be when I am not.

Looks like a gay bonding session. Jiu jitsu should be at full pace simulating a real life situation/competition always.

This is exactly what not to do if you get cauliflower ear from wrestling or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It’s always best to go to the Dr and they usually use a needle to release some of the pressure. This looks very painful!! It is a right of passage for some of these fighters and a lot of them “want” to get it.

When I roll, I’m not trying to win as much as I’m trying not to get injured. My default mode is defensive driving. I’m trying to get to my destination without getting in a wreck on the way there. In this clip, I counter the waiter sweep early because I’m sensitive to my knee locking up. If my leg gets bent some type of way, my meniscus catches and locks up, so I react early. Not necessarily because I’m trying to stop the sweep, but because I’m protecting my body. That sensitivity actually becomes good defense. Keeping my leg straight stops the waiter sweep before it starts. I feel this way about MMA grappling. It’s more intuitive because the main priority is obvious: don’t get hit. That removes a lot of decision fatigue. In sport Jiu Jitsu, there can be too many options, too many techniques, and too much thinking. That’s one of the traps for Jiu Jitsu nerds. If you get too deep into the tech, you can end up frozen by choices. The other solution is to systematize everything, and that kills creativity. Just protect yourself and everything else will fall into place. Learn Jiu Jitsu.

Note to self: Jiu Jitsu isn’t about collecting techniques or chasing the illusion of constant improvement. It’s about doing something that serves you on and off the mat. It's a lived orientation, a style of Being. It's about transformation that can’t be measured. You train because of intrinsic motivation. It’s how training never gets boring. Like all true art, it is practiced for its own sake, as a response to an inner call. More than anything, it gives perspective. Paired with philosophy, it becomes extremely potent. You train to participate, not to acquire. Rolling turns into serious play, offering opportunities to face yourself honestly. At times, Jiu Jitsu discloses your vitality, your capacity to move, create, endure. At other times, it confronts you with your mortality, your exhaustion, your limits, your finitude. Jiu Jitsu lifestyle means dwelling in the space where vitality and mortality, possibility and limit, freedom and constraint interact. Yea it’s entertainment, yea it’s sport, but most importantly it’s a mode of attunement to reality. Learn Jiu Jitsu

“There are only two religions on earth” Interesting take.. In both scenarios the true essence of ascending from oneself or one’s life is through the process of becoming closer to that which is greater than self. Either by mirroring God through your life or by removing the ego in the present moment to shift your consciousness in such a way that you share the same space with the Creator. In both of these scenarios there starts with the belief or faith that there is a something greater than “I” or self. It is a way of being, a path taken. It is not “religion” or “books” that save us, these are only guides or guardrails. But it is within our own being the ability to ascend, or create that relationship. Not through good deeds and donating to charity or receipting every Bible verse, but an internal alignment of values, a perspective that seeks Truth, Life and wholeness in ALL things, not for profit or personal gain but because it IS the way of the universe. Humans have free will, the ability to choose, and it is this choice that gives us the power, the power to change or stay the same. It all starts within.

More than anything Jiu Jitsu it’s about the power being. It’s a call to be present and engaged in the current reality. It’s about responding and adapting to the challenges and opportunities of the here and now. It’s about standing inside the immediacy of reality and drawing strength from being attuned and ready to act. It’s an acoustic, right hemisphere, simultaneous everything all at once experience. It’s a mood to cope with information overload. It works by wielding wit with sleight of hand. Jiu Jitau is a path, an orientation, a cultivation. It’s not really a method. It’s a way of being shaped through practice. Learn Jiu Jitsu

Jiu Jitsu’s potency comes from its immediate connection to the power of being. This “power of being” refers to a state of heightened awareness and presence, where you are fully engaged with the present moment and your own existence. It’s about finding balance in both following and leading, being reactive and proactive. The ability to sync with the natural flow of events and take control of the situation according to your skill and capabilities. Jiu Jitsu is an art because it enables practitioners to connect deeply with their fundamental essence or true nature. Learn Jiu Jitsu

Mufti Saif al-'Asri on the fatwa by some Hanafis that allows interest (riba) based transactions in non-Muslim lands. People are using this opinion to claim that Muslims taking out interest-based mortgages is permissible. Question: Is it permissible to conduct interest (riba) based transactions in Western countries? Mufti Saif al-'Asri: This question is very important, especially if the intention of this Muslim, who lives in a Muslim country, is to introduce them to Islam and its way of life, and to be an exemplary person that people imitate. So, if when he comes to a non-Muslim country, he says: "There's an opinion that the Hanafis have which considers it permissible to conduct otherwise impermissible transactions in non-Muslim lands. So, it's permissible for me to sell pigs to them and it's permissible for me to engage in interest (riba) based transactions with them. Some Hanafis make the condition that he is the one receiving the interest and not giving it, meaning he's the one receiving the benefits (of the interest based transaction) and he's not benefiting the one he's conducting a transaction with, and so forth. This is an opinion, an opinion that exists. We can't wipe away this jurisprudential opinion. And it has its evidence. However, the vast majority of scholars, and it's even an opinion within the Hanafi school itself, are of the view that it is haram for a Muslim to conduct an impermissible transaction with a non-Muslim. It is not permissible for him (a Muslim) to conduct an interest based transaction with him (Non-Muslim), nor is it permissible to sell or buy alcohol from him, nor is it permissible to sell him pork, and so on and so forth. None of that is permissible. And this opinion is the opinion of the vast majority of scholars. It's the opinion that allows you as a Muslim to be proud of your religion in front of others. It allows you to proudly showcase the distinguishing features of Islam and take honor in the religion that you ascribe to. On the other hand, if you're going to take legal dispensations and conduct transactions based on these things, how are you going to be a caller to this religion? Through your character? The way you speak? Your actions? How? How are people going to look at you? If they say: "Islam prohibits pork; however, masha'Allah, this Muslim at the store sells pork." I mean, what will make you different from other people? A Muslim must not conduct impermissible transactions, whether it's interest or other than it in Western countries.

Evil exists, God exists. God wills evil to exist. He did not create it, He could not create it, but He did not prevent it. He ordained it, He willed it - here it comes, listen carefully - because He had a purpose for it; He had a purpose for it - a purpose. Why Does Evil Dominate the World? — John MacArthur // March 4, 2007 If God is not in total control of evil, if He has not ordained it – listen - and if He does not have it under complete control at every millisecond of history, then this universe is out of control at the most crucial point. If God is not in control of this completely, then how and when will He get the knowledge and the power to get it under control? And I would ask you this: would you rather have a God trying to get control of evil, or a God completely in control of it? Take your choice. But the God of the Bible is in complete control of evil for His own purposes. It is really heresy to say that the world is full of evil apart from a predetermined plan and purpose by God that is far above the willy-nilly choices of people. So, what do we know up to now? Evil exists, God exists. God wills evil to exist. He did not create it, He could not create it, but He did not prevent it. He ordained it, He willed it - here it comes, listen carefully - because He had a purpose for it; He had a purpose for it - a purpose. This is critical: He had a purpose for evil. What is that purpose that God had for evil? Before I answer that question - and that’s the fourth in our little outline - let me read the Westminster Confession from the 1700s; some great theologians and biblical scholars put this together. Listen carefully: “God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass:“ Yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty or contingency of second-hand causes taken away ... sinfulness proceeds not only from the creature; proceeds only from the creature and not from God, who, being most holy and righteous, neither ... can be the author and approver of sin.” But then, says the Westminster Confession, all that God decrees and all that God providentially brings to pass is all to the praise of His glory - and they got it right.The reason for God ordaining evil is for the praise of His glory. Let me ask you a simple question to help you answer the question - the bigger question: is God more glorious because of sin existing or less glorious? Pretty easy question to answer, isn’t it? That really is the ultimate question. Throughout all the eons of eternity, will God receive more glory from His creatures because sin existed or less? And, friends, that’s really all that matters, is the eternal glory of God. So, it’s fourth down, and we’re on the ten-yard line, and I’m pulling out the winning play and we’re going for six for the victory. Turn to Romans 3 - and I want you to track with me a little bit; can’t take time to develop all of this, but I’m going to give you a good start. Wish I could build context; we don’t have time. But let’s look at chapter 3 and verse 5. Opening statement: “But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say?” Grab that phrase: our right - unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God. And Paul uses the first of a series of verbs; this one happens to be sunistēmi, translated demonstrates in the New American Standard. It is a verb that means to disclose, to reveal, to put on display, to show. Our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God. Another way to say that would be, would you really understand the righteousness of God if you didn’t understand unrighteousness? Isn’t there something to be gained by the contrast? Paul has been showing that God is faithful to His promises to Israel, and their sin and unbelief cannot alter God’s covenant, cannot alter God’s faithfulness.

Obi or Nothing 2027. I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence. If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

Pragmata Review | No spoilers That is it for me. I played more than 30 hours of Pragmata and I am really happy that not only we finally got this game after so many delays and in a time where cancellations are common, but also that it turned out to be a very solid and enjoyable experience. Visually it is beautiful, and gameplay wise it works well for the length it has. It is not a long game, which I personally prefer, and I hope we see more titles like this instead of games trying to be longer just for the sake of it. I would not call it short like some people did, but I think it is exactly as long as it needs to be. Story wise, it is my favorite of the year so far. Seeing this kind of father and daughter dynamic again made me want to play more games with similar themes. I did almost everything in the game and I absolutely recommend it. If you are unsure about the length, maybe wait for a sale, but quality wise it deserves to be up there. I am not someone who rushes, so it took me longer because I admire the environments, take screenshots, record videos, and try to find collectibles without guides. For someone who just plays straight through, I think it would take around 12 to 15 hours, maybe a bit more or less. This is the kind of experience I want to see more often in the gaming space. I liked the combat and I think the enemy variety is fine for the length. If the game was longer without adding new enemy types, it would probably feel repetitive, but for what it is, it works. My biggest concern before playing was the combination of Hugh’s shooting and Diana’s hacking. If it was too complicated, it would be annoying, and if it was too simple, it would be boring. Thankfully, it ended up being exactly right. My only real complaint is that you need to return to the base to restock items, and when you die, the game sends you back there instead of placing you right before the area or at the last travel point you unlocked. It is not a huge issue, but it breaks the flow a bit. Diana is very cute and does her part extremely well, and Hugh is a character that is hard not to like. They both nail the dad simulator vibe. The voice acting is great, especially for Diana. Capcom delivered a unique and impressive new IP, which is always welcome in an industry where big publishers mostly rely on established franchises instead of taking risks. Whether we get more entries in the future is up to them, but it is also up to us to support games like this if we want more of them. On PC the game runs very well. The only thing that felt a bit underwhelming to me is the ray tracing when you use it on its own without path tracing. In some areas it does not add much, similar to what I noticed in Resident Evil Requiem. It makes me think it is either something with the RE Engine or simply that Capcom does not push ray tracing that far and focuses more on path tracing instead. Path tracing looks incredible, but of course it comes with a heavy performance cost. Something that impressed me throughout the entire playthrough is how consistent the game feels from start to finish. There is no point where it suddenly drops in quality or feels rushed. Every area has its own atmosphere, the pacing stays steady, and the game never tries to drag itself out longer than needed. It is rare to play something that stays this steady all the way through, and that alone made the whole experience even more enjoyable for me. I hope we get a DLC or a sequel one day, but even if this stays a one off, I am happy with what we got. Rating: 9/10

An egregore is not merely a mystical idea; it is a living psychological structure. From a psychoanalytic lens, it can be understood as a shared mental ecosystem. The accumulated thoughts, emotions, fears, and longings of a group that, through repetition, begins to operate as an autonomous force. Just as the personal unconscious stores unresolved experiences and symbolic narratives, the egregore functions as a collective psyche in motion. It sustains itself through belief, emotional investment, ritualized behavior, and constant reinforcement. The more it is fed, the more real it becomes. Its influence is subtle but pervasive. Anyone entering its field begins to feel, think, and behave in alignment with its logic, often mistaking borrowed impulses for personal choice. This is why patterns echo across families, ideologies, and institutions. What appears individual is frequently inherited from the group mind. In clinical work, this emerges when a person carries guilt, obligations, or symptoms that did not originate with them alone, but were transmitted through relational and symbolic networks. The egregore is the architecture through which these imprints are organized and passed on. To recognize an egregore is to abandon the illusion of psychological isolation. Each of us is woven through invisible currents of memory, meaning, and desire. The “self” is not a closed system, but a dialogue; constantly shaped by the collective field speaking through us, even in silence.

An egregore is not merely a mystical idea; it is a living psychological structure. From a psychoanalytic lens, it can be understood as a shared mental ecosystem. The accumulated thoughts, emotions, fears, and longings of a group that, through repetition, begins to operate as an autonomous force. Just as the personal unconscious stores unresolved experiences and symbolic narratives, the egregore functions as a collective psyche in motion. It sustains itself through belief, emotional investment, ritualized behavior, and constant reinforcement. The more it is fed, the more real it becomes. Its influence is subtle but pervasive. Anyone entering its field begins to feel, think, and behave in alignment with its logic, often mistaking borrowed impulses for personal choice.

Peter Thiel gave a speech in a Hilton in 2010 that holds the keys to unlocking the source of many of America’s most severe problems. Key quote: “The task in this world… where politics has become so broken… is to find a way to escape from it. It’s not a way to fix it.” Palantir is currently tightening its grip around all of our data. Elon Musk is diverting untold billions into a Mars fantasy. All of the anarchist, antidemocratic ideas of the PayPal Mafia and the “Dark Enlightenment”—to use technology as an “escape”—were already well in process 15 years ago. —The internet as “alternate virtual reality” so you don’t have to “constantly convince people.” This is why he funded Satoshi (Bitcoin), MAGA3X (Pizzagate, Q), and pushed Musk to buy Twitter —PayPal (now blockchain/crypto/BTC) was to “overturn the monetary system” —“Escape” now more often referred to as “exit” —“Autonomous countries” now known as the “network state” JD Vance is a full member of the cult of the broligarchs. Unfortunately, this has been a very thorough coup and they have backup. It’s worth really absorbing what the living Antichrist, Peter Thiel, is saying here: “I don't think despair is the only answer. And I don't think, and it's because I don't think politics is the only way to go. And my thinking on this, you know, started to take a turn towards a more optimistic perspective in the mid to late '90s when I got involved in the tech boom in Silicon Valley. I ended up being the co-founder of a company called PayPal where -- and the initial founding vision was that we were going to use technology to change the whole world and basically overturn on the monetary system of the world. And, you know, we can debate on how much it succeeded or how little it succeeded. And there were parts of it that I think have worked, and parts of it were, you know, the jury is still out. But the basic idea was that we could never win an election on getting certain things. Because we were in such a small minority. But maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who are never going to agree with you through a technological means. And this is where I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics. And, you know, there are a number of different technologies we can outline, but the task in this world where politics has become so broken and so dysfunctional is to find a way to escape from it. It's not a way to fix it. It is a way to escape. And there are, you know, a number of different options. I think the promising one of the 1990s and this last decade has been to escape onto the Internet and to sort of create an alternate virtual reality. Questions, of course, is still how does it intersect with the real world? There are, I think, escaping to outer space is a promise, although I think the space technology is not quite there. So I think that's sort of for the second half of the 21st century. I think we can try to, you know, create autonomous countries on oceans, underwater, all sorts of other spaces. But I think technology is the vehicle for how we should be looking to escape and move beyond politics as we find it today.”

When I am at the gym and I see somebody’s water bottle there or a towel or something. I know they just stepped away for a moment and that the machine is occupied. Out of respect I won’t move it out of the way only for them to come back and have to explain themselves anyways. This young lady on the machine left her water bottle on it because she stepped away for a moment to use the restroom only for somebody else to come by and try to use it in her place. Would you have understood the etiquette or is it just a free for all? When I first started working out I was unfamiliar with the gym etiquette. Some people just got done with a hard set and need to stand up and walk for a few moneys or get a drink of water and they use it as their rest period so that they can go back at it. Interrupting that process is the same thing as booting them off the machine mid workout. It’s rude and uncalled for but why does it keep happening? I think what it is, is that some people are very judgmental, they see others and think that they are more serious about working out than the other person so that to them it means they are entitled to use it first because their workouts are more important. I used to let them do that to me but no more. I treat it as first come first serve, if they don’t want to wait then maybe they need to avoid the gym during peak hours. This is the very reason I work out in the middle of the night most of the time. I rather not be bothered and if I need to take my time I can, most of the time nobody else is even there anyways when I go.

ALL THIS CONSTRUCTION OF THE VISIBLE WORLD IS AT ITS ROOTS DESIGNED IN THE INVISIBLE WORLD Before language, before numbers, before thought, there was form. Not arbitrary, but precise. Not invented, but revealed. Sacred Geometry is the blueprint beneath all becoming—the hidden grammar of light, sound, and matter. It is the spiral of galaxies and the whorl of a shell. It is the vesica that births light, The triangle that gives rise to stability, The square that anchors space, And the pentagram that mirrors life’s golden proportion. Sacred Geometry does not merely decorate creation, it structures it. It governs the growth of leaves, the pulse of waves, the rhythm of your breath. It reveals that harmony is not a concept, it is a code. A flower blooms not by chance, But by a silent obedience to phi. A crystal aligns not at random, But by listening to the quiet song of symmetry. This is not mysticism, it is order. This is not dogma, it is design. Sacred Geometry is where the visible and the invisible meet: Where math becomes art, Where number becomes movement, Where space becomes spirit. To study it is not only to learn, it is to remember. That beauty is not a luxury. It is the signature of coherence. And when we align with it, We don’t just build structures. We become them. Everything that has form in this dimension is made up in its essence of sacred geometry. All this construction of the visible world is at its root designed in the invisible world.

Meiselas: I want to handle this subject with care and tact, and I want to take it very seriously. It seems that when Donald Trump was giving a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, among other things that occurred when he wasn’t attacking Detroit or consistently lying, he seems to have soiled himself during the speech. You can hear it multiple times—it seems that he is letting out gas and potentially fecal matter as well during the speech. He then tries to kind of cover it up by making a noise as he appears to be relieving himself. I want to play that clip for you, but I want to emphasize this is not just the first time this has occurred. As I mentioned, this has happened frequently with Donald Trump, and we’ve been covering it here at the MeidasTouch Network. I think it is an important subject to cover. I know that corporate media is going to avoid it, and there are some people who cover it but mock it and make fun of it. I want to just report on it and give you the data points right here, because I think the health of candidates is significant. How they present themselves is important. When he is meeting with world leaders and senators, is he relieving himself in front of them? Is he defecating on the floor in front of them? What is taking place?

I can’t say exactly how effective Bitcoin is as a money, but it’s being perceived by many as an alternative money and so is worth paying attention to. Money needs to be both a medium of exchange and a storehold of wealth — and the latter is more important. I doubt that any central bank will take it on as a reserve currency. That’s because all of the transactions are public, so there’s no privacy to it, and there’s a risk that in the future the code could be broken to make it less effective through government controls. My personal approach is that I do have some Bitcoin in my portfolio, but not much.

This is the state of society today. A man thinks he has the right to access female-only spaces because his feelings were hurt by people not believing he is a woman. Is that not the object of the game? It is not a woman's burden that you have chosen to medicalise yourself, and it is not up to them to act as your human shield. Just stop. I had to edit out the ending of this video because a minor was on camera, and I do not allow that. I said: "I appreciate that, but women shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable for you to feel comfortable. If they continue to challenge you, advise them that you are male or speak to a member of staff." To see the full protest video, I have posted it on my Substack below. If you are interested in supporting me attending these protest please go to the link in the bio or subscribe to the substack.
