The gut (aka core, solar plexus, instinctual center, nervous system, lizard brain..) PREDATES the mind (aka intellectual center, thoughts, neocortex..) - by some hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

If the topic at hand is not "thinking on paper", or looking at an excel sheet, or explaining something academically, etc (= the world of language) - then the mind simply isn't the ideal place to center yourself in.

You have to think, decide, live & move from your gut to be fully yourself and truly alive. It's often the gigabrains who are the most afraid of leaving the mind's domain. They often find lots of unintelligible fears there when they first tune into it.

The funny thing is, if you've cut yourself off from your gut and was able to dominate & win through mind only - once you move into the gut-centered living, you win 1000x bigger.

You're not your mind, nor your gut. Both are ~vehicles to the "real you" - so, it's actually like going from a small beat up car to a Ferrari. No matter who you are, your gut is orders of magnitude "better" than your mind for.. almost everything.

Before you die, you have to get there. The more you get there, you're more you, you live more life, everything is better. Just get there.

If I was sama I'd just recruit a small squad of elite adventurers to go to the "highly magical" parts of the world (Tibet, Central Asia, Amazons, etc) and obtain the secrets DIRECTLY from highly magical wizardlike people "living" there.

The hard part will be to get them to reveal the secrets/do the necessary things to reveal the sauce - Asterix & Obelix style. You'd literally OBLITERATE the competition.

This "virjin enjineers doin infin8 resurj" cycle will crush him otherwise. Loaded up on my Google stock already. I'm only ~90% kidding about this. YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE. And imagine raising GAZILLION dollars and not spending like $5-10M on something like this. Where's the "venture" capitalist in you, bruh
