I know this group does not advocate drug usage, but the last time I ever took a psychedlic, I had (fortunately or unfortunately) the most profound trip of my life. It felt as though I was on the brink of death, and realised that desire, or the will to power, is the counter fource to death, decay or nothingness. At one point, it was as if I was speaking directly to God, and he told me that this might have been my last mistake and that I would never go back. I was shown that my desire to consume drugs stemmed from an almost suicidal feeling - which itself stemmed from a lack of desire or will to live/produce life as Elisha speaks about in this video. This itself was due to a lack of being able to see the bigger picture. To see how I was not an individual, that my actions had consequences not only for those around me, but also for countless generations to follow. The title of this video attracted me, because I was essentially shown that this feeling - the force of life - is the fource of existence, creation. It is the force that created existence out of non-existence, and it is a fource that each of us is given. It was on this trip that I was told, I must accept this force and go with it, or I must give it up and perish right there and then. I thought of my family, friends, loved ones and repented for my sins against them. That was over two years ago now. I have since gotten married, not touched any drug since, and am planning for children soon. Accept the Thumos brothers and cherish it. It is the most beautiful feeling in the world.
Glad ur doing well bro. I take shrooms every other week and they have helped me greatly. They saved my life. To say theyre bad or good. Is up to everyone's opinion. They say the shrooms find those who seek the truth.
I haven't had a consistent lifting schedule in about 2 years. Went to the grocery store today and completely changed up my diet. Gonna get a good lift in later. Wish me luck, Elisha. High thumos

Selfish as it sounds im happier than ever because i knew what i desired and i didn’t want to settle for less. 2 months later i bought my 2nd car, im happy and enjoying life because my 5 months at the gym is paying off!!! Do the get me wrong i always dressed nice and tattoos do help a lot ( i got the tattoos for myself) but getting fit was the most drastic change i noticed when im in social events. Im talking to multiple women now and i really do have options to go on dates but i gotta stay consistent with my schedule and not slip up again. Watching your videos elisha has helped a lot and i got into jump roping again when you posted that video of you jump roping. Have a nice day everyone!!! Remember anything is possible!!!
I feel this way with heavy squats. When you feel beaten up by life or feel like a loser, deliberately choosing to squat a weight that feels really fucking heavy and kind of intimidating feels like a metaphor for life, dealing with the tough shit head on.
Last night I was listening to an audio book. The main character is a king who left his kingdom for a while, while he was away it got invaded and half his people slaughtered, innocent people. I imagined his rage when he returned and discovered what happened, as I envisioned this an energy rose up and spread throughout my body that made me feel like I could rip a tree out of the ground.

Preach it homie. When I started lifting about 4 yrs ago I hit the deadlift a couple times a week for a solid year. Never would’ve dreamed the amount of positive growth and change that occurred during that time. Not a coincidence.
I dead lifted this morning, and by God is this true. You finish that lift just have this feeling like a current running through you. Bench pressing does for me too, but super heavy dead lift way more.
You're my spirit brother Eli. Started focusing on RDLs and deads again in the last few months Edit: P.s. I love you Edit #2: Dead-lift-n-ly deadlifting
Hey there my brother ! You know what: I am stuck here in a third-world country, not being able to go back to work as a teacher because of my mental health cripple(3 years now). Yet, I just keep battling for my "spiritual freedom". I AM actually on last stage of writing a self_help book based on my personnal experience. It is so freaking challenging to even thinking of the slightest change but I am just taking my meds, going to the gym, eating healthy, writing, reading, consuming good/funny content, trying to plan long-term financial projects, looking forward to meet the vocation God had certainly put inside of me. One day perhabs, I will be heading to the States, visit the west, ride a cowboy horse, attend to some country music concert, and who knows! maybe settle down and share my tiny little share of existancial insight and common-sense through writing or hopefully meeting and causing with very good wise funny people like yourself good man ! Greetings all the way from the other side of the Atlantic, Algeria. Peace 🖐
Just finished a workout, (squats not deadlifts) but your words really hit me. I like the message man, i'ma need to look through your other vids and sub. You're the kind of bro I wish I lifted with!
Like you said with depression. I think we glorify the idea of depression and use it as a crutch to where some people unconsciously feel like there is no way out. This happens with media, the internet, and entertainment that society is providing. Yes, there are some people who do have an imbalance of brain chemistry to where they need real medical help. However, the 95% of people who feel “depressed” is just a product of their lifestyle and way of thinking. You create good habits, you do the hard things for lasting gratification, and create a good mindset to appreciate everything you already have. That’s when real happiness will shine.
Super inspirational man! I’m taking this to heart today starting now, I have great things going for me that I just throw away because I quench my thirst with sex n booze.
Feeling bit down for last few days. Been going to gym but I fucked my sleep schedule so not performing well. And I have an addiction of checking twitter and playing chess. After this video gonna try to change that and abstain. I try to read more books. Gonna quit chess for a while, not really playing good after hundreds of games, kinda turns similar to an fps game. I just got a story that I wrote 9 months before accepted for a literature magazine for this month gonna try to write daily to produce some more, I think I gotta grab my opportunity at the start. Yeah felt like telling here

From my experience 3/4 of women are like this and a third of those women are just really good at hiding this stuff but will still do it.
Factual deadlifting does wonders for the body. It builds your core strength to new levels, it increases your grip strength, it builds muscles for your entire body rather than specific muscles, your testosterone levels goes through the roof, it strengthens and straightens your posture, builds explosiveness and athleticism, and most of all it helps with your blood flow in the area that matters. Do this while being on semen retention, you'll feel as if you want to conquer any challenge that stands in your way. Lets go fellas let's get to it 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
Thank you Elisha, keep making these great videos man I've been watching your videos since like 2017-2018 and almost always you upload a video talking about something that I've been dealing with which is pretty crazy haha I think some synchronicity is going on here
I don’t think if it is desire as much as I think of it as intention. desire is sitting in your bed, Longing for something. intention is going out and taking action and doing it.
I have deadlift saturdays. I dont lift super heavy due to my back. But i make it up in volume. 1 set of sumo deadlift with 120 kgs for 50 reps. I will stand and not budge until those 50 reps are done.
Excellent video, this is one of the most important aspects of life. It's a shame it's being culled out of society, we are forsaking ourselves. Speaking of God, how do you square desire and sex before marriage?
I post routine almost daily to keep me disciplined even though i lift in a disgusting hellscape, been making PRs ever since i started recording though so im happy with it!
desire and ungratefulness is the FIRST cardinal sin that ADAM has ever did. Its the entire reason why humanity is accursed with living on this planet earth instead of in the heavens. Live Healthy, live for family, live for peace.
Wish I could still deadlift, nothing in the gym ever gives me the same high. Deadlifted for 8 years but have had to retire it due to some bulging discs
The muscle density that deadlifting builds in your back cannot be replicated with any other lift. You can look at a man who only does lat pulldown (etc) and say "Damn that guy is wide as fuck", but when you see the guy who pulls 600-700lbs, it does not compare. Also fellas, don't be scared of a little thoracic rounding (upper back rounding)!
@@Ventryx Just look at calisthenics athletes. I've seen both tbh, good backs from guys who only do pullups and good backs from guys who deadlift as well as do lat pulldowns. Still, tons of guys who deadlift a ton and still don't have impressive backs. Deadlifts aren't about hypertrophy imo.
Firs time I tried no fap, 1 week in to it, a girl saw me at a grocery store and held eye contact like crazy. The weird thing is she took the long route just to put her cart back right next to me, looks at me with sex on her mind, she smiles and walks away while still looking back 😂 I never seen this shit happen before in my life, man I thought this has to just be a coincidence. But I don't think it was because it happened again. However I stopped the no fap life and yeah I haven't seen a girl look at me like that since.
