Woke up 630am which is really 530am. The gardening is getting heavy duty these days. It's muscle building. Heading to Newcastle today which is always great.
Was just reading the subtitles on Elon's spiel with no sound when it hit me, it's that unattributed quote attributed to the gospel of Thomas, that's what he's talking about!
Musk's Jungian shadow:

Oh anyway the quote was, of you bring forth what was within you, what was within you will save you; if you don't bring forth what was within you, what you don't bring forth will destroy you.
Jung talks alot about the shadow, similar to what Musk is talking about here. When my wife and I and our kids first moved into our house to live, in January 2019, we had a housewarming party. One of the guests was a man from the neighbourhood with a wife and one or two kids.
He worked in the software industry which is one where you will find a lot of rascals. Like for Microsoft. By rascals, I don't mean like nurses and police who are the most likely professionals to have extra marital sex. In the case of police and nurses some of this extra marital sex might really be justified given the heavy duty service to society. But in software you really have a bunch of rascals everywhere, people just going to hell. The ones you hear about in near death experiences screaming in the lake of fire, on the path to destruction. I mean just go talk to someone in software about their colleagues' reputations, it should be an interesting conversation. Don't even get me started on thespians and TV actors etc.
"What happens when you're driving the bus and you need to do a shit?" The housewarming party guest asked me like a cheeky twelve year old. In fact he was a grown man in his 40s with a wife and kid and a well paying job, much better than a bus driver. But as much as he thought he had such a shit hot job, he couldn't hide from me he was inwardly like a twelve year old emotionally. I think a lot of men are absolutely babied by their mothers. In fact I missed out on this as a kid as my mother neglected me so actually I do a lot more typical mom things for my kids than most fathers would. I actually have to take a cue from my daughters if I'm being too maternal. I guess it's overcompensating for having a lousy mother that wasn't maternal.
"Well to be honest I think it happened one time, I mean we have dedicated restrooms just for bus drivers with our own special universal key for them," I told him, noting his attitude without revealing any reaction to it outwardly. I also noted his wife's reaction to him, which was innocent and accepting.
Shortly afterwards her sister saw him kissing some other lady and their marriage was over. Look I understand you're in your early 40s or even late 30s you want good sex in your marriage and an attractive partner. It's completely natural. And yes, driving a bus full-time isn't the greatest job. You know, in the End, Jim Morrison says, "the blue bus is calling us, driver where you taking us?" He doesn't say how many days a week do you drive a bus. I'm glad I'm only driving two days a week in winter and one in summer. I understand why Elon's underlings or whoever identify strongly with their job. It is good to have a job and an identity. I think Elon is talking about people kidding themselves due to chronic non self awareness. I see this as a much bigger problem in young people who tend to be sheepish.
I just mention this guy at the housewarming party because while he didn't seem to have PTSD or complex PTSD like I did, and like possibly the bus driver over at Cabarita or wherever that walked into the bus driver restroom to see a dead hanging bus driver that had suicided there. And it's nice not to have PTSD, it was just interesting for me that his wife didn't seem to understand her man very well.
Anyway the Mrs just came in and I discussed the case with her and she said he has a 'diagnosis'. So it's ok for a man to be emotionally immature if you have a 'diagnosis'. A lot of people nowadays are resting easy on the fact that they have a 'diagnosis'. Until the 'diagnosis' is cancer. Either way, this man's wife was happy with him because he left her the house. Woman care about money a lot and getting it from their man. If he doesn't understand his emotions, she will figure them out, work with them, then get his money.
Can you imagine me and Elon going gay, getting married them I get all his wealth in divorce court after figuring out his emotions? Ha ha!
Sounds like a sitcom!

Ok got the kids off to school and made broccoli and veggie stir fry, with soy sauce and melted cheese. My favorite these days. They do say CEOs from South Africa say 'howzit?' a lot. Sorry they say CEOs have extremely high level emotional intelligence. On the other hand you have journalists calling high level CEO's 'corporate scum' if they don't like their political influence. The common thread is power. Women see money and power, it's alluring. Men with money and power are attractive to women. Women who can't be around powerful economic and political types and business types can show love to the weak and vulnerable, like children, even poor children. This can be their power, their power to influence. You cannot understate or underestimate this female power, even from gay and paedophile men. We recently had a spate of paedophile men in Australia, enabled by power tripping women to rape numerous vulnerable people. It's all a big power struggle and it's all built on trust. I trust this man to change my kid's nappy, oh wait, I don't trust any man to change my kid's nappy! Why does a man want to change nappies just to make women feel more powerful. If women want to feel powerful why don't they protect children? That's what good put them on this Earth for, create the baby, nurture the baby, protect the baby.
But as Nietzsche said, God had died and then we had nazi Germany versus the Ashkenazi Jews. What a rant. One thing I try to do in my non CEO low key life, apart from not let paedophile men near my children, and avoid law enforcement wherever possible, is work smart but then even beyond that, work without effort.
I heard the Lao Tzu maxim: work without effort is understood by very few. I think Confucius said find a job you would like doing, but Lao Tzu suggested work without effort.
My life is so simple there are no business meetings with office types. I did a lot of office work in the past and a lot of it is power politics and adultery. Not appealing.
My main work functions are: gardening, running my small business. With the summer heat coming it can be absolutely gruelling however I know I will rest long and deeply next winter so I'm ready for action. Housework: ironing, laundry, dishes, wiping down on a regular basis plus bigger ticket stuff like bathroom cleaning, scrub my patio once a year, more gardening. Make kids food etc.
Parenting, drive kids around, coach soccer etc.
Car maintenance, change oil, etc.
I don't consider socialising work so I'm not putting that or hobby stuff like sailing etc. which can overlap into socialising. Hobbies like learning to French would be work if I tried harder but I don't.
Before I go into emotional toil, like relationship with family, community, etc, I'll discuss my strategy for work without effort. When gardening I will pivot into completely other activities frequently. So when I'm feeling strained doing one thing then I'll do a different thing so switch from raking leaves to weed whacking, the moment things start looking like not being work without effort. Work without effort is great because there is no suffering or unpleasantness. I believe on a quantum physics level if you can get as many cells and electromagnetic fields and quarks and what not in your immediate atmosphere in harmony with the Godhead then you're in good shape, like a motor running well, well serviced. In housework I might be doing three or four tasks at the same time pivoting between them constantly so that there's no time to feel disillusion with the task because I can just go to the next one. As the Spaniards say, otra cosa mariposa.
Emotional load can be taxing, especially with women's liberation and the divorce industry enabling women to carry on like absolute assholes everywhere. Women are really dragging society backwards in modern countries with their continuous whining and so forth. Doing damage. This is where it's really important men learn how to walk away. The only thing women in relationships understand is you walking away. If she can't even be faithful to you for a few lousy months while you walk away, what point is there even being with her? She'll respect you more when she sees you walk away. Throw in kids and it's a messy mix.
Emotional self regulation is such an important skill it should be taught to children early in life. In some cases it is, however nowadays the obnoxious tendency to virtue signal: I'm better than Elon because I'm not a transphobic and he's transphobic. It hurts me to say that all preachy like but it's the truth, I'm sad Elon can't be as good as me, less transphobic. It's like the guy in the gospels that prays to God saying, thank you for not making me a sinner like this guy over here. And Jesus said it was actually the sinner that was justified because he was beating himself up about it. Satanic agendas: morbid obsession with homosexuality, transgender rights. It's all a satanic agenda, the strategy is enable women to be complete and utter assholes. Already the pendulum is starting to swing in the other direction. Kentucky amongst all American states is making a fifty fifty split between divorced parents mandatory. When women are not empowered and pushed to divorce easily by the legal system, surprise, surprise, they don't. Again, these are issues also dealt with in the gospels: divorce. When women see divorce and fashionable and a way to be socially acceptable, they will create the conditions that make married life unbearable. Women are weak in this regard.
