Here you will find a brief explanation of the most important notions in I Grow Younger.
Acceptance is one of the Emotional Ultimate Skills. Acceptance helps you to handle the past and is connected to the thinking process and your brain. One of the most important forms of Acceptance is Self-Love. Self-worth is another important form of Acceptance.
Added Value is the key to Success. Without Added Value, achievement is not true Success.
Balance is a Trap-word. You do not need Balance if you do not create Barriers in the Game of Self and Boxes in the Game of Life. Barriers and the need for Balance come from a weak Game of Self.
Barriers are internal rules that are responsible for a weak Game of Self and the lack of Self-Love. Guilt, Shame and Fear are Barriers in the Game of Self. They are often due to Morality. Barriers are typical for Overly moral people. They lead to Inertia and Sheep mode.
Beauty has a very strong appeal for people. It is nicer to believe in Beauty than the mundane. Beauty sticks and makes a Story survive in competition with other Stories. Beauty and the Love in biology for it are evolutionary built into us.
Box is a thinking, feeling or willing model that restricts you, so you can’t see beyond it. You can compare a Box with a mountain that is hard to go around or to climb. It does not let you see what is on the other side. But unlike real mountains, a Box is invisible. You have to develop your Intuition for Structures in order to identify a Box and cope with it. Box is the opposite of Flow. A Box closes you in. A Box creates Inward Reaction. A Box creates more Boxes. A Box is related to Sheep mode.
Box structure is a synonym of a Box. If you divide a Box structure in two, you will have two Box structures, each of them smaller. A Box structure creates Box structures. A Box structure can’t create a Flow structure.
Breaking point is the boundary value of a Quantity that, when crossed, leads to Quality Change. And Quality Change means a Structure Change. The Breaking point is also called Threshold. There is an upper Breaking point and a lower Breaking point. Intuition about Breaking points is extremely valuable, especially when in Cooperation with others.

Change is a Hunter move. Change is a Flow. Fear is the primary biological Motivation for Change. Self-Love and Chaos lead to Change. You need Freedom and Resources and Morality to Change the Game of Life for better. Small Change in the Game of Life is easy. Small Change in the Game of Life is where you’d better start from. Large Change in the Game of Life is harder, because you need to do Entrepreneurship for years to earn Money and Resources and gain Long-term Freedom. Small Change in the Game of Self is not hard, but not that easy, because of Inertia and Boxes. You have to seize a momentary Game of Self peak in order to start Change. Large Change in the Game of Self is not easy, but not that hard. The best Progress is small Change in the Game of Self. Small Change in the Game of Self leads to a large Change in the Game of Life. Large Change in the Game of Life leads to small Change in the Game of Self. The Time for a good Change is always… now.

Discipline brings you into Sheep mode. Discipline can’t create Added value. Discipline can not create Motivation. Creativity creates Motivation. Discipline is not a creative force. Unconditional Love and Freedom are the only creative forces.
Diversity of Experience is crucial for your Business. Diversity of Experience is connected to Flow, Hunter mode and Chaos. Diversity of Experience leads to Delayed gratification. If you try something and it doesn’t work, you still get the Diversity of Experience. But if you don’t try, and it will work, it’s just a complete loss, the worst-case scenario. So trying (not-objectively-dangerous) things is just worth it.
Education is a synonym of Life-long Learning and Self-Education in I Grow Younger. Education is to have Meta-Skills and Ultimate Skills. Education is connected to Diversity of Experience.

Education is the opposite of school or university. The current school and university systems are a catastrophe – totally outdated, impractical and bring no useful skills for everyday life or work. When you accept mediocre educational systems, you accept mediocrity everywhere in the Game of Life. And this is absolutely unacceptable. The current school and university systems are so bad that they have to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up. School and University cost a lot of Money and Time.
Emotional Trust is about people’s intentions. Unconditional Love carries Emotional Trust. Babies feel Emotional Trust in their very first year, before they can walk or talk. Emotional Trust is built into us at a very deep subconscious level. Emotional Trust as a skill will always be critical for our survival and wellbeing as it keeps us out of malicious people’s way. Emotional Trust is biological and will always be more powerful than Intellectual Trust.
Emotional Ultimate Skills are Acceptance, Mindfulness and Direction.

Expectations are Barriers in the Game of Self. Expectations make you feel bad long-term. Expectations limit Long-term Freedom. Expectations are the opposite of Happiness. If you have Expectations, you cannot develop Mindfulness.
Exponential function describes growth. It can be explained in very basic terms. If there is a Quantity that grows, for example- the inflation, in only a few years the initial value of this Quantity doubles. We call this time doubling time. And doubling means that this Quantity achieves a value that is bigger than the sum of all its values in the past. For example, if your electricity consumption grows by 7% a year, it means that it doubles in only 70 / 7 = 10 years. You can use this simple formula to calculate the doubling time. Use 70 / 5 if the growth rate is 5% and so on. So, in ten years we will consume more electricity than we’ve ever consumed combined in the whole human history! Again, there is very simple math here – for example, let’s now have a value 8 = 2 * 2 * 2, that grows by 7% per year and will double in only 10 years. So we will have 8 * 2 = 16 in ten years. And what was the value 10 years ago? 8 : 2 = 4. And 4 : 2 = 2 – 20 years ago, 2 : 2 = 1 – 30 years ago and so on. Let’s now consider that 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15 < 16. So, the value in 10 years is bigger than all the values till now summed up.
Faith is Spirituality with a Direction. Faith is mostly part of the Game of Self. Faith helps you to feel Happiness. Faith helps you make Progress. Faith is a tool for personal use only. Faith helps you overcome Inertia and make a Change. Faith is a power multiplier for good or bad. You can use Faith to power up your Game of Self and your Game of Life.

Flow is the process of feeling Freedom and creativity. Flow has no Barriers. In a Flow everything is possible. You can compare a Flow with water, oceans and streams. They give you a free sight, so you can see around. Flow can transport you to a different place. A Flow, like a stream, always goes from the narrow mountains to the wide plains. A Flow removes Boxes and Barriers. Flow is a Fundamental in I Grow Younger. Flow helps you in everything that you do. Flow is crucial for a strong Game of Life. Money, Freedom, Business and Time are Flows. Flow opens you up. Flow creates Outward Direction. Flow creates more Flows.
Flow structure is a synonym of Flow. Flow structure creates other Flow structures. If you divide a Flow structure in two, you will have two Flow structures that are as strong as the initial Flow structure.
Freedom is a very important Quantity. Freedom is the most important Resource. Freedom is defined by the Number of meaningful paths you can take. Many different paths mean high Freedom. Only a few different paths means low Freedom. We use the Quantity Long-term Freedom as a measurement tool for your Success in the Game of Life. We use the Quantity Long-term Freedom as a measurement tool for your Happiness in the Game of Self. Freedom is limited by Fears and Barriers, as well as the lack of Meta-Skills and Ultimate-Skills in the Game of Self. Freedom in the Game of Self comes from Self-Love. Freedom is limited by Relationship, health, family, Morality and Money in the Game of Life. Freedom is invisible. Freedom is as important as Unconditional Love and Happiness. Freedom helps you attract people and Resources. You can just base everything on Freedom valuations. Did your actions improve someone’s Freedom? You helped in long term, you changed a life. Did your actions reduce someone’s Freedom? You didn’t help or even cause harm in long term. When you look at tyrants in history you don’t see truly free people. You see traumatized people, mostly overly committed to their twisted view of Morality due to ideology.
FOMO means Fear of missing out. FOMO is a special case of Fear. FOMO can help you in Business, if you combine it with Self-Love and Spam strategy.
Fundamental is an important notion in I Grow Younger. Fundamental is a main Principle. Fundamental is a Building Block. Every Fundamental is positive. Every Fundamental leads to growth. Every Fundamental leads to the I Grow Younger process. Every Fundamental is good. Every Fundamental is crucial for Personal development. Fundamentals are Self-Love, Chaos, Change, Speed, Flow, Hunter mode, Entrepreneurship, Unconditional Love, Long-term Freedom, Intuition, Meaning and Truth. Each Fundamental is closely related to some or all of the other Fundamentals. The Fundamentals are part of the Game of Self, the Game of Life or both of the Game of Life and the Game of Self.
Game of Life is everything outside you. The Game of Life is the reality. The Game of Life is the world around you. The Game of Life is your environment. The Game of Life is where one part of the Fundamentals are situated. If you have a strong Game of Life, you will also have a strong Game of Self. The Game of Life forms who you are. A strong Game of Life leads to Self-Love. The Game of Life is all about gaining and sharing Resources. The central question in the Game of Life is: ‘What do you do in your day?’. The Game of Life needs understanding. The Game of Life needs Structure to understand it. The Game of Life depends on how you spend your Time and Money. Not taking any risks in the modern Game of Life is a risk itself.
Game of Self is everything inside you. The Game of Self is pure Chaos. The Game of Self is very hard to manage consciously. The Game of Self is where one part of the Fundamentals are situated. If you have a strong Game of Life, you will also have a strong Game of Self. The Game of Self often becomes a struggle because of self-imposed pressure if you chase Personal Development through rigid Order like schedules and routines. Creating such Order can lead to Fears and Expectations. You want immediate results, and when they don’t come, it feels like a failure. This feeling throws you back into Sheep mode, making Change in the Game of Self even harder. If you let go of self-imposed Order you’re not giving up on Structure. Given enough Time and Freedom better Structures will emerge, and they will be more aligned with your nature and your own Game of Self. We call this process I Grow Younger and it’s the inspiration behind our self-help system. Self-Love, creativity and Chaos in the Game of Self help the I Grow Younger process. The real Barriers to a better Game of Self are the Barriers you create yourself. Pressure and Expectations are the Barriers you create yourself. These mental constraints weigh you down and prevent you from Flow with the natural rhythm of the Game of Life. The central question in the Game of Self is: ‘How do you feel?’. Freedom, Education and Resources help your Game of Self. Speed and Scaling are crucial for the I Grow Younger process in the Game of Self.
Goals is the opposite of Progress. Goals create Boxes. A factory has limited potential and it maximizes it though Goals. But you have unlimited potential and Goals just get in the way of accomplishing it. You just need a positive Life Direction and following a Direction does not need planning – one step at a Time is the best option as this is the Hunter mode behaviour.
Gratification delay is a concept from the famous Marshmallow experiment. The tested kids had the choice – one marshmallow treat right now or if they waited for 15 minutes – two marshmallow treats. Long-term surveys showed that kids who waited have more Success and feel Happiness. So the Gratification delay correlates with a strong Game of Self and a strong Game of Life.
Guilt is one possible feeling of people with high Morality. Guilt brings you into Sheep mode. Guilt has a negative influence on your Game of Self. Guilt is a Barrier. Guilt is the opposite of Self-Love.

Building an Identity means that you are all the Time in Hunter mode. Building an Identity is a fight for Long-term Freedom. Building an Identity is a Change process. Identity is not belonging to a group. Defining yourself as a part of a group is from the past, biologically developed in the evolution process. To define yourself only as a group member is a Box. If you always do what the group expects from you, then you lose Long-term Freedom. If you limit yourself to what your broad group usually does, you will not end up in special places, you will not have interesting ideas, and you will not earn more Money. You will be about average for your group. If you have your own Identity, you will have more Diversity of Experience, you will develop your intuition and you will feel no Fear. Identity is connected to responsibility. If you have Identity, your future is in your own hands.
I Grow Younger means Personal development. Human potential is unlimited. I Grow Younger is about expanding your chances as much as possible. I Grow Younger is about growing. Growing means moving outwards, forwards and upwards. Everything is about what you do or do not do. You can not just stay. If you are not moving outwards, you are moving inwards. If you are not moving upwards, you are moving downwards. If you are not moving forwards, you are moving backwards. If you are not growing, you are in decline. If you do not have a positive Life Direction, you have a negative Life Direction. I Grow Younger helps you achieve your unlimited potential.

Inertia is the resistance to Change. Inertia is the opposite of Change. Unconditional Love, Self-Love and Chaos help against Inertia. Inertia is the most common force in your Game of Self and your Game of Life. Inertia is due to lack of Hunter actions. Inertia is typical for a weak Game of Self. Inertia is connected to Sheep mode. If you are driven by Inertia, you have no Freedom. Every inaction is an action in favour of Inertia. Evolution favours Inertia.
Intellectual Trust is about people’s competence. Structure carries Intellectual Trust. Intellectual Trust is a very adult feeling that requires a fully developed brain and is boosted by Education and Diversity of Experience. Intellectual Trust as a skill is essential to fight your way as close to the objective Truth as possible. Intellectual Trust is the only tool to find your way into an ocean of information with varying Quality.

Intuition is good to explore in width. Intuition is an individual tool. With Intuition you may not be able to explain or provide a reason, but you will get a correct answer. Intuition is a shortcut. Intuition works best for binary choices. The deeper your Intuition, the more Self-Love it requires. Using Intuition to make a major decision in the Game of Life without using Logic is a serious leap of Faith. Intuition connects Chaos and Structure. Intuition is a key bridge between Chaos and Structure. Intuition needs the Freedom of Chaos to work. Intuition needs the foundational Truth of Structure. Speed, Scaling, Unconditional Love, Energy and Motivation help to form Intuition. Intuition is a major factor in Success.

Life-long Learning is a synonym of Education and Self-Education. Life-long Learning is the opposite of school. Life-long Learning is the opposite of university.

Long-term Freedom is a function of Time. Scaling helps you to achieve Long-term Freedom. A healthy, happy, wealthy person with a comfortable and fulfilled life and many personal achievements is only at the beginning of his/her Long-term Freedom. This is called the first mountain. The Barriers that can be encountered on this level are mostly in the Game of Life. When you start to climb the Second mountain you help others to find also their Long-term Freedom. On this level, you can encounter mostly Game of Self Barriers. The Long-term Freedom increases only if you have a strong Game of Self and a strong Morality. If you have a weak Game of Self and a strong Morality, then your Long-term Freedom decreases.
Love is a Trap word. Love in I Grow Younger is a synonym of Unconditional Love. There are four types of Love: Self-Love, Love as a concept, Love in biology, Unconditional Love. Romantic Love should not be regarded as something between two people because it is asymmetrical in nature. A much more realistic picture is of you feeling Unconditional Love to each other independently. The strength, depth and exact mix of feelings are never the same.
Love as a concept is one of the types of Love. Love as a concept unites. Love as a concept is a force for good. Love as a concept is a force multiplier for your actions. Love as a concept is Freedom from Fear which makes you superhuman. Love as a concept is when all your Inertia and Barriers are gone and you achieve anything possible in The Game of Life with ease and harmony. Chaos and Love together result in a beautiful mess of Inspiration, Motivation and Creativity. Chaos and Love together lead to Hunter mode. Chaos and Love together are an unstoppable driving force for creation and sharing. Chaos and Love together are good for the Game of Self. Structure and Love together result in building the best Structures that last. All of Science and technology is a result of mixing Love with Structure. Take Love or Structure away and Truth-seeking falls apart. Love and Structure together are a preserving force. Structure and Love together are good for the Game of Life. Chaos and Love together without Structure lead to misinformation, conspiracy theories and fake news.
Love for Truth is a force. Love for Truth has no representation in nature or the animal kingdom – everything is about Usefulness there. Love for Truth is a distinctly human feature. People with a high level of meaning see the world as one whole and have no barriers between themselves, their potential futures, and the world’s future. In such people Truth connects to prosperity for everyone via science and technology, and reduces the harm from the Bullshit. People with high level of meaning feel the value of Truth for everyone and fighting for the Truth becomes their form of love to the world. Love for Truth and Intellectual Trust together lead to Truth. Love for Truth and Intellectual Trust need Flows.
Love in biology is an evolutionary mechanism. Love in biology is a binding force. There are four types of Love in biology. Love in biology for your kids is the strongest one, as they depend on you for their survival. Love in biology in the form of attraction to your partner, so the kids can arrive. If any species develops a dislike of sex, they definitely are not passing their genes on. Love in biology for your family so you can raise kids and stand together in the face of danger. Love in biology to your closest people and your tribe, so you can better cope with danger.
Love strategy in Business is the most important strategy in Business. Some work can be outsourced, but for the core activities in Business you do Hiring. Hiring is crucial for every Business. The first employee should be a person that you genuinely care for. This step creates extra Motivation, short and long-term urgency.
Main Business Principles are 1. feel Happiness in the Game of Self 2. be Successful in the Game of Life. To feel Happiness means to do what you love or love what you do for the people who love what you do. If you want to be Successful you have to be fast, to do Scaling, to earn Money, to have no liabilities, to have no single point of failure and to have no long-term dependencies. To choose the right industry is crucial. You need understanding of Time, Money, Numbers, Structure. You need the Ultimate Skills. You need to start Sharing of Resources even before you are Successful. What helps you most is the Diversity of Experience. Modern Silicon Valley glorifies the Diversity of Experience gained by failure.

Mindfulness is one of the Emotional Ultimate Skills. Mindfulness helps you handle the present and is connected to your feelings and heart.
Money is a Number. Money is a Quantity. Money is a Flow. Money is a Trap word. Money is important because it brings you more Long-term Freedom and saves you Time. Money is a valuable Resource. Money has a special role in the Game of Life and deserves a special kind of attention. Money is like the fuel that keeps you running. Money is a virtual fuel that the modern world uses to facilitate most processes in The Game of Life. Money is supported by your mutual agreement and trust that it holds value. We can say that trust in money is the most universal type of trust for almost all of human society. Money stores value. Money can be exchanged for value. It is very easy to earn future Money if you understand the Game of Life and the Game of Self well. It is very hard to earn Money now. You have to develop an intuition about Money now and future Money.
Morality is an important human characteristic. Most people are moral. A lot of people have a very high Morality. High Morality can damage significantly your Game of Self. High Morality can lead to Inertia. The combination of high Morality and weak Game of Self decreases the Long-term Freedom. There is no Morality without Freedom, because you lose your choices. Morality does not lead to Freedom. Morality needs Freedom. Morality is a Trap word.
Motivation is when you are in Hunter mode. Motivated means to be in Hunter mode. Not motivated means to be in Sheep mode.
Numbers govern the modern world. Numbers govern the Game of Life. Numbers are a Quantity. Numbers have a Quality. Money and Time are Numbers. Numbers are an abstraction. An abstract object represents a real object or another abstract object. All math is built on this principle. You need Intuition to understand Numbers. To understand Numbers means to understand the abstraction behind them. To understand Numbers means to understand what they represent. Numbers cannot sustain Happiness. Numbers can bring you long-term unhappiness. Numbers are easy to compare and can lead to envy and other negative emotions. Emotions about Numbers never help. Numbers are part of the Truth. If Numbers represent another Numbers in the Game of Life then your emotions are not in danger. A key characteristic of financially successful people and entrepreneurs is that they are specific and speak in exact numbers.
Order is a simple everyday organization that helps you cope with the Game of Life and Game of Self. Order is helpful, but also dangerous, because it can create too many Boxes, that obstruct further development.
Outward Direction is a Direction in the Game of Life. The Outward Direction points outwards, towards the Game of Life. The Outward Direction is closely related to the Hunter mode.
Overkill is when internal Fears blow the problem out of proportion and you come up with a big, extremely safe, slow solution (which might end up being a waste of Time and Resources).
Overly moral people are people with high Morality. Overly moral people value Morality above Freedom and believe their only Freedom is Morality. Overly moral people experience Fear of being bad. Overly moral people lack Self-Love and Self-Worth. The Fear of being not moral leads to doubts, slow Speed, small Scaling and Inertia. The more internal the Fear is, the more it’s at its highest power when you have never experienced the Fear source. Most internal is the story of your own existence, how you define yourself. If you define your Game of Self by being Overly moral, the biggest Fear is to lose Morality. The more Overly moral you are, the more this Fear will control you. Loss of Game of Life advantages and lack of Resources is the result. Overly moral people are born with the empathy and honesty to lead nations, but they can’t realize their huge leadership potential. Overly moral people stuck in Inertia do suffer from the feeling that they could Change the world but are not doing anything about it. For a strong Game of Self an overly moral person needs a better Game of Life.
Partial Truth is one part of Truth. Partial Truth is not the Truth. Partial Truth is very different from Truth. Partial Truth is manipulation. Some people use Partial Truth to convince other people about their case with arguments that are actually true and easily verifiable. They mix them with playing by people’s emotions and sprinkle in some Beauty, usually in the form of a Story. This is a very persuasive mix that is called Bullshit.
Passive aggression is when you have a solution, based on Fear, that often does damage to others in the Game of Life.
Passive Income is how you start a Business. First, you need a Passive Income, no matter how small. And then you do Scaling.
Passivity is when you want to act but have no clear solution and feel helpless, lowering Self-worth below healthy levels.
Perceived Truth is a synonym of a Story. A Perceived Truth is not the Truth. A Perceived Truth is what unites the tribe. A Perceived Truth is what unites a group of people. There is no incentive for Truth in a Perceived Truth. In theory, it can be true, but in practice the Perceived Truth is almost never true. A Perceived Truth usually has grains of Truth though, as this gives it extra strength.
Personal development is to act according to the Fundamentals. Personal development is to be in the I Grow Younger process.

Time management is a narrow, desperate path to Time understanding. Time management is when you give up and outsource your Time Understanding. Time management imposes rules. Time management destroys your Time Intuition. What people mean when they say Time Management is to set better priorities, to increase your productivity and to get rid of addictive Time-wasting habits. People mean Life Management, when day say Time Management. Time Management increases pressure and Expectations. Things happen when you give up control. You have to stop managing your Game of Life and things will happen. A direct effort to control never has a high Success rate, because people will resist, even if they don’t know why.

For Trap words we have entire articles in I Grow Younger that make the Fog disappear.
Threshold is the upper or lower boundary of a Quantity that, when crossed, leads to Quality Change. Threshold is a synonym of Breaking point. Intuition about Threshold is extremely valuable, especially when in cooperation with others. Intuition about Threshold is an Intuition about Quantity.
Trust is a Trap-word. There are two types of Trust – Emotional Trust and Intellectual Trust. The two types of Trust have nothing in common. You have to differentiate between them when you talk about Trust. Otherwise, Emotional Trust always dominates.
Truth is a Fundamental. Truth leads to Happiness in the Game of Self. Truth has a Beauty of its own. Unconditional Love and Structure together bring you closer to the Truth. The Truth of your social group is not your Truth. The Truth of your social group is not the Game of Life Truth. The strongest evolutionary advantage for survival was not to know the actual Truth. It was to have one Perceived Truth with your tribe. It is a social responsibility to help more people get closer to the objective Truth, but this can not happen with Logic. You can get closer to Truth by Unconditional Love, compassion and understanding. The biggest danger for the Truth is the combination of Partial Truth, Usefulness and Beauty together in a Story. The biggest danger to the Truth is Bullshit. You are not biologically attracted to Truth. You are biologically attracted to Usefulness. The worse the intentions in the Game of Life, the more Truth you need in the Game of Self. Flows help you battle for the Truth.

In Unconditional Love you have to prioritize Freedom. Unconditional Love is created from inside out, but can be facilitated by Unconditional Love, compassion and gratitude from others. Unconditional Love is a force with Outward direction. This is why it is so difficult to experience Self-Love. Unconditional Love always has an Outward direction, a truly selfless, giving force. The more you are, the more you can share via Unconditional Love. Unconditional Love comes with understanding, forgiveness and no Expectations. Unconditional Love just lets things be. Unconditional Love is to show Vulnerability. Unconditional Love is a Fundamental. Unconditional Love is a Flow.
Underworld is when primal urges take over you in the Game of Self. Examples of primal urges are gambling and social media. The Underworld comes in three variations – the Mindless Underworld (everything that neither makes you feel Happiness long-term nor is useful), the Escapist Underworld (when you attempt to replace your Game of Life with another one – gaming, gambling, substance abuse and other addictions) and the Delusional Underworld (political ideologies, conspiracy theories, Religion – it can be beautiful and you may think it helps you in the Game of Self, but it is not true. It causes disconnection from the Game of Life, so you fail in the Game of Life). The Underworld contributes to Sheep mode. The Underworld is a Box. They are connected to Inertia.
University is from the past both as a concept and as an individual institution. The world today changes much faster than University can follow. University is a system that looks to preserve itself. University is not friendly to positive Change. University grants you less Long-term Freedom compared to the other best options. University is a loss of Time, Money and Resources. University is not the best place to do Learning. To quit a university is a good decision. To quit a university is an important Hunter move and leads to Flow and Freedom. To quit a university gives you the Time and Energy to start your Education. University is only good for mathematics, exact sciences, engineering, the arts, highly specialised professions, medicine and psychology.
Unlearning is an important process of giving up your bad habits and everything wrong that comes from your Education and your environment. Unlearning is an important step that always comes first, before starting to learn again. Without Unlearning what is wrong, you can’t learn what is right. Unlearning is often needed for Self-Love and Self-Worth. Unlearning destroys the Barriers between you and Self-Love.
Unpopular forests are unconventional ways that lead you fast to Flow. You can find many Unpopular forests in the Game of Self and in the Game of Life, also in nature, in education, at work, in your Business, in everyday life, in relationship, in communication. Examples of Unpopular forests are: getting lost in real forest, straight line hiking, snowy slope-sliding fast movement in crowded places, fast walking on planes and public transport, getting off just in time, sleeping on bean bags, procrastination, spending more that you can afford, value your Time highly, price your products and services high, Mentoring, chaotic gifts, late gifts, random Time gifts, multiple gifts, experience gifts, mixing work and leisure, mixing different works, welcoming internal uncertainty, removing Expectations.
Usefulness is when something is good for only a group of people (a tribe of people). People are social beings that biologically want to fit in a group (their tribe). The tribe has an Energy and behaviour of its own and the simple Goal to survive against threats and to be competitive. Therefore it needs a “glue” – a strong identity-building Story that unites the people in the tribe. United tribes are powerful and competitive, which makes them grow in size over Time, as they recruit people from less competitive tribes using brute force, coercion or incentives. Biology makes Usefulness always dominate objectivity and some people fall into the traps of tribalism which separates them from the Truth. Usefulness does not translate to anything meaningful. The falseness does lead to more falseness by detaching us from reality in the long term, by creating non-truthful structures in our brain. The fact that it has Usefulness will make other false and questionably useful beliefs more attractive in the future. This is a slippery slope.
Vibe Intuition is about feeling your vibes and the vibes of other people. Vibe Intuition is the best tool for the I Grow Younger process. Vibe Intuition is about how Structures and Quantities evolve over Time in closely interconnected systems like a human being and the Game of Self.
Vulnerability is closely related to Self-Love and Self-Worth. Without Vulnerability there is no true Unconditional Love and Self-Love. Vulnerability is the foundation of Self-Love. Vulnerability is the opposite of Guilt and Shame.
