"The other is always an idealized figure at an extreme, celestial or profane, but never the possible sum of both."

I believe that the abyssal sayings about the human end cannot be conceived in a more erroneous way. I insist: I have seen cherubim descend into the vast fire, and their feathers have bent toward the rocky edges of hell. Blessed are their wings, loose and sublime, surrendered to the ultimate flame of desire.

The abyssal sayings about the human end

I have also observed, with efficiency and magnitude, the reddish beings, slaves of the clouds, binding their hands and feet to the paradise of the heavens. Cursed they were, their bodies embroidered by chains, while the angels reveled in the fervor; another harp emitted the sound of the scourge for an entire demonic legion.

Cursed they were

The structures had crumbled, and I repeated in my consciousness: is this not the true will of things? Will the angel not learn through the consequence of savoring the cursed speech that bifurcates in the corners of heat? Will he not understand, by his own hand, the true weight of his redeemer’s nails and the resonance of unheard worldly screams?

Is this not the true will of things?

But will he encounter a biblical scene, or will he then discover that hell is nothing more than a stage constructed by terror? But not just any terror, rather the horror of guilt and the gratification of delving into a place where bones burn as the most common and grandiose human condition simply comes to light: the error, as important to commit as it is to transmute.

Human condition

Yet, what will the demon know of other colors and textures beyond his misty corner, perceived in its entirety by our lens as something utterly opaque? But to the eyes of the true inhabitant, hell is a place like any other, a place of learning, a stage far from absolute, simply variable depending on who beholds it.

Hell is a place like any other

The devil, being wise, will learn that every heaven, with its mechanisms of calm and shelter, is also a multifaceted and indefinable place. He cannot speak of peace and the finitude of paradise if he has never sat at the right hand of God, if his mind is occupied by one aphorism: that of thinking he will be harshly persecuted. And what will he know of the universal creator if he does not rest closely at his table, if he does not intertwine with the optics of his ideas, if at dawn he dares not ask about that eternal punishment?

The devil, being wise, will learn...

Nothing seems to me so absolute as to call it good or evil, transcendent or insufficient. The other is always an idealized figure at an extreme, celestial or profane, but never the possible sum of both.

Celestial or profane, but never the possible sum of both.

But today, now, every space and concept inevitably depends on the consciousness of the reader, and on what we choose to believe to calm it. However, if one is to act according to their vision, do not forget that performing mundane tasks for external good does not guarantee the absence of an internal hell. Nothing makes one an absolute and definitive ally of the opposing side.

Nothing makes one an absolute and definitive ally of the opposing side.

A Glimpse from Purgatory: Philosophical Thought | Milagros Gomez

"The world, and everything within it, is the conditioned and objectified consciousness of man. Consciousness is both the cause and substance of the entire world."

To better comprehend the topic, Neville explains that reality can be visualized as two streams: the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious is personal and selective, while the subconscious is impersonal and non-selective. Both are considered the masculine (conscious) and feminine (subconscious) divisions of consciousness itself. Neville makes it clear that the conscious is the realm of effect, generating ideas and then impressing them upon the subconscious. The latter is the realm of cause, responsible for receiving ideas to give them shape and expression.

"The Magic Behind the Conscious and the Subconscious"

It is crucial to note that the subconscious does not produce ideas but accepts as true those ideas that the conscious also conceives as truths. Thus, through the power of imagining and feeling the realization of these ideas, man can create his own reality. To manifest accurately, it is possible to control the subconscious through ideas and feelings.

"The Power of Imagination and Feeling"

The mechanism for creation lies in the subconscious, transcending reason and being independent in the face of induction. Neville teaches that feeling is the only way ideas are communicated to the subconscious. Why? Because the subconscious assumes a feeling as a fact that exists in itself, proceeding to give it expression. Everything begins in the creative process, where an idea becomes the feeling that propels the will to act.

"The Mechanism for Carrying Out Creation"

With this information, it is crucial to control more disciplinedly the feelings we prefer to imprint on our subconscious, avoiding limiting ourselves to feeling only insecurities and prejudices towards ourselves and others.Therefore, it is essential to encourage ourselves to change our mindset once and for all.

"That which we choose to imprint on the subconscious"

The crucial secret to successful manifestation is to feel the desire we long for as a state that already is, rather than thinking it is not yet. To be more specific, all feelings leave an impression on the subconscious that must be expressed. It is important to emphasize that this is always the case unless there is a stronger feeling of the opposite nature, as the dominant feeling is ultimately the one expressed.

"The most accurate way to manifest what is desired"

Neville Goddard teaches us that 'I am healthy' is, in itself, a more dominant feeling than 'I will be healthy. And "I am" is stronger than "I am not" Because what you feel you are is much more dominant than what you would like to be.To clarify, all changes of expression come through a change of feeling, and this change can lead to a modification of destiny. Therefore, you must learn to feel only in the state you wish to actualize and likewise feel the reality of the state, acting from that same conviction.

"A change that can lead to a modification of destiny"

In this article, we will explore the ideas and teachings of Neville Goddard, aiming to unlock the full potential of our conscious and subconscious minds as we manifest our desires in tandem with his guidance.

Neville Goddard and the Secret to Manifesting What You Desire | Part 1

"Hans Landa is the best character I have ever written and perhaps the best I will ever write. I didn't realize at the time that he was a linguistic genius. He is probably one of the only Nazis in history who could speak perfect Yiddish."

Colonel Hans Landa in the film "Inglourious Basterds" is an SS officer, who has numerous medals that speak of his great performance within the regime, including the highest Nazi distinction "The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross."

"The fascination of Horror" | Analysis of Hans Landa

Undoubtedly the first and essential thing that the character projects is elegance and bearing. This is thanks to the uniform manufactured in real life by the Hugo Boss company, designed by SS officer and artist Karl Diebitsch, in addition to also being involved in the design of a large part of the SS insignia, he also joined the project the graphic designer Walter Heck (1932).

"The appearance of Colonel Hans Landa"

Valuable mention: Karl Diebitsch has been a member of the party since 1920, member of the Reichsverband Bildenden Kunstler Deutschland (German National Association of Visual Artists).

Within the repertoire of uniforms used by the SS, black stood out. It looked plainly dark and gloomy. The color being popular in fascist and national socialist movements, introduced by the blackshirts (Italy), and traditionally used by the guard cavalry of Prussian emperors and kings. (Leibhusaren).

The Nazi uniform.

"I know a lot of people who get sick when they see this black uniform; we understand that and we don't expect to be loved by many people."

This first analysis will be of one of his scenes, as I see more interest in this article, I will publish the second part.The character has great gifts of charisma at first. Of course this is only clear evidence of a false appearance, since we are talking about the nicknamed "Jew Hunter." He tends to persuade his victims, initially presenting himself with an air of security, cordiality, and politeness, trying at first to make them feel comfortable, and then, in an unpredictable way, beginning to mentally torture them.

"Landa's superficial charm"

The colonel also presents a deep-rooted sense of non-verbal deduction. His abilities transform him into a lie detector, since upon entering a Jewish house, he begins his exhaustive investigation. When talking to the father of the family, Landa speaks metaphorically, referring to the Germans as hawks and the Jews as rats.

"A silent predator"

All this with the intention of generating some discomfort and tension in the place. It is worth emphasizing what he himself said, that he decides to look where others do not. This refers to the information that he is able to have in his hands. And to make the message even clearer, he knows the fact that the father used to smoke with a pipe, immediately after which Landa takes out a larger one to smoke, implying a metaphor of power and superiority.

We could also group this with the fact that he is a perfect reader of his environment. Since when he takes a first look at the family, he notices that they are nervous, he even sees one of the daughters looking at the ground while looking at her father, an undoubted act of nerves. Landa with the excuse of greeting her for looking like the most Aryan in the family (The Aryan race was the one preferred by the Nazis), using this as an excuse to grab her hand and kiss her, at the same time he tends to check the young woman's pulse.

He performs the same action when they offer him something to drink, to which he asks for milk, and when he grabs the hand of another of the sisters, he also proceeds to check her pulse.At this point, Landa already knows that they hide people under the floor, an act previously revealed by one of the Jew's daughters, when she incessantly looked at the ground, at the same time that she appeared nervous when exchanging glances with her father. However, Landa chooses to continue talking.

Perhaps the latter is what identifies the character, his desire to create terror and observe the fear in the faces of his victims.Last and least important, mention that Landa is a polyglot, speaking German, French, English and Italian. A clear sign that the man is intelligent and cultured.In fact, in order not to raise the suspicions of the people who were underground, he begins to speak in French, ordering the father to humor him and giving way to his men to end the lives of those people.

"A man of culture"

At the end of the scene, one of the daughters runs away terrified, carrying with her blood stains belonging to her family.Landa, on the other hand, decides not to pull the trigger and let her go, since he knows that they will meet again, so he proceeds to shout "See you soon."

Definitely, Hans Landa is more than a villain, since I would say that he is an investigative genius. He knows how to prey on his victims and obtain all kinds of information just with non-verbal language. On the other hand, a psychopath, ruthless, narcissistic, lacking in empathy, with a notorious superficial charm. The character is also a work of art by Tarantino himself.

Here I will summarize some laws of human nature and later, I will publish the second part to continue learning a little more about Robert Greene's book. Having mentioned this, we can begin!.

10 laws of human nature that you should use to your advantage | Robert Greene

This law goes hand in hand with learning to control our emotions and manage them properly for greater effective personal development.Greene thinks that many of our decisions and actions are driven by irrational emotions, which are not always conscious.For this reason, Robert suggests that to master our emotional side we must learn to identify and understand our emotions, not to mention that we must be aware of how these can affect others. Therefore, a balanced and compassionate attitude is a skillful solution.

1. "Law of irrationality"

Many people have an incessant need to feel important and also receive disproportionate admiration.This same need makes the person become selfish towards others, without taking into account other feelings or needs outside of themselves.Greene suggests that to transform self-love into empathy, we must learn to put ourselves in the place of others, and to choose to change our perspective or vision of the world. In turn, recognize and control our feelings of selfishness, so as not to get carried away by they.

2. "Law of Narcissism"

It is important to understand how people present themselves and, in turn, how this affects our relationships with them. Many people use "roles playing" to hide their true feelings or intentions. Often, they have to act differently according to the situation raised, therefore, it is difficult to know their true identity.Robert Greene suggests learning to read nonverbal signs, giving importance to details. It also invites you to be authentic and not carry out these games, or wear masks.

3. "Law of Role Playing"

The force of character is the measure of determination and discipline when facing challenges and achieving objectives.Because of this, to determine the force of character we must pay attention to the behavior and the respective capacity of a person to control their impulses and face their own challenges.Robert Greene suggests working in discipline and determination thus promoting our own character force. By understanding this, we can also improve our social relationships.

4. "Law of Compulsive Behavior"

Desire and greed are powerful emotions that drive people to take decisions and actions in an irrational way.For this reason, this law indicates that many people have the need to achieve success at any cost, and to obtain more.Robert Greene suggests having control of our desire, without letting it consuming us. And in the same way, use the desire and greed of others to our advantage. Turning us into more attractive and desirable people in society.

5. "Law of Covetousness"

It is important to expand our vision and perpective to achieve success, since many people have limited vision and are not able to see beyond their small mental world. This leads them to be less able to adapt to changing situations.Therefore, Greene suggests raising our perspectives, learning to see the world in a broader way, being aware of how our actions affects, and learning in the practice, how to adapt to changing situations, without being vulnerable to our desire and need.

6. "Law of Shortsightedness"

There are people who have defensive attitudes and show resistance to changes and ideas due to their own insecurities or fears.This makes it difficult to influence them and achieve our goals. Therefore, Robert Greene suggests that we must learn to confirm his opinion of himself and at the same time, make him feel comfortable and safe.In this way, we can also learn to present our ideas in a more attractive way and adapt them to the needs and desires of people.

7. "Law of Defensiveness"

People often feel atrapeated in unfavorable situations due to a negative attitude and the tendency to sabotage themselves constantly.These patterns can difficult to change, and can lead to a sensation of frustration and despair.In this case, Robert Greene suggests changing acthy, prevented our own self-sabotage and also learn to inflence our environment, to make it easier to adapt to changing situations and circunstances.

8. "Law of Self-sabotage"

This law is about recognizing and facing our dark and repressed emotions. This in order to learn to know ourselves thoroughly and avoid repressing ourselves. As a result, we can better control our thoughts and emotions to use them constructively.

9. "Law of Repression"

The ego is an important part of our identity, but it can quickly become fragile if we are compare ourselves with others. This can consequently affect our well-being, as well as people who tend to envy other people's achievements due to their fragile ego.This is why Robert Greene suggests that we must learn to accept our own limitations, also avoiding comparison. Therefore, controlling our emotions and focusing on our achievements is the right path to success.

10. "Law of Envy"

These are the first laws of human nature that we can learn from Robert Greene's book! I hope it helps more than one person!. 💛
