and we're going to take another 100 paces or so, then I soften my gaze and my gaze, you know, my eyes literally go from, you know, pupil style and I'm focused on a task and I'm outwardly focused to where my eyes go really soft and almost like they go wide and like I'm using my peripheral vision. And in that state, your mind will soften and it's almost like, you know, just letting go and

and turning inward and in that inward, even though my eyes are open, I have access to my imagery and I can go back and check in with it or the images there for me. Does that make sense? So, again, this is the tools are how do we use our mind effectively? Our minds are so much more powerful when we learn how to use them, right?

So, again, this is the tools are how do we use our mind effectively? Our minds are so much more powerful when we learn how to use them, right?

And so, we've been trained here in the West to really dominantly be focused on our cognition, our rational mind, our thinking, right? And then if you're creative, they say, oh, yeah, you're creative. So you're using that right brand and you have creative powers. The reality is we all have the capacity to think better and to avoid our cognitive bias. So that's a skill that we have to train for.

So you're using that right brand and you have creative powers. The reality is we all have the capacity to think better and to avoid our cognitive bias. So that's a skill that we have to train for.

And we also have the capacity to release that, to literally put that area of our mind, that active area of our mind to rest, like to turn the dial down significantly so that you can open up to what I call direct perception, perceiving things just the way they are right now without having to judge or analyze or anything. And a massive amount of information flows in with that.

The fourth skill, by the way, is... Task orientation. But if you show up doing everything that I just explained because you've trained to do it, right? It's not a cognitive thing. It's an actually, you know, this is a very visceral process. Then, you know, what you're going to get on the other side is an energetic synchronization.

Yeah, absolutely. Well, the mental, I mean, essentially the human being has a body, the mind and spirit. If all you focus on is a body, you're going to be a one dimensional being. The body follows the mind. You know, we learned that in the SEAL training as a tenant of what I teach at SEAL Fit. The body follows the mind.

And so, you could be physically fit and still fail at a sporting event if your mind is not conditioned properly. You could be the most talented athlete, you know, and we see this over and over again and still fail. You might win one or two times but you're going to fail if your mind isn't conditioned right. So, really the mind is... is the preeminent. Everything flows from the mind.

And then behind the mind is the spirit and knows beyond the scope of this conversation. But I could almost make that same statement that once you connect with a spirit, with your spirit, then everything flows from that. And the mind becomes even more refined and finely tuned with universal principles. And that's when like your ultimate power comes out. So you're truly at your most

complete fullest self when body, mind and spirit are all aligned and working together, you know? I mean, SEALs who are aligned like that and everyone's operating that way, you know, they literally are shaping their enemy's minds.

You know, SEALs shape their enemy's mind with their violence of action and offensive mindset, you know, because everyone is thinking, we got this, we are running toward the sound of gunfire, we're going to dominate this battle, we're going to, you know, take it to the enemy, whatever. Everyone's thinking that way.

Everyone's thinking that way.

And like I said, at a very subtle level, that breeds fear in the enemy and the way we act and the way we think and the way we show up on the battlefield breeds fear in the enemy. Now, they may not even know it, but it happens, right? And that's why they, you know, their actions and reactions are going to be weaker than ours.
