Literature about the importance of the improvement of body and soul

[Anonymous No.22022167]

What books would you recommend for a bookish teen, to move him into not only concentrating on his intellectual growth but also towards physical excellence?

We need to go deeper.
Maybe even the nietzschen and kalokagathian philosophy behind weakness and ugliness vs morality and beauty.

Mainly Politics (Ted, Gadaffi, anti-globalism, libido dominandi, sex and culture, propaganda identification etc) and history (greeks, romans, medieval classics, Hermann Löns - Wehrwolf, Edda, Grimm Mythology, Niebelungen, Catholic history). I just want him to not become all brain and no chest.

Xenophon's Anabasis. Philosophy that isn't tied to events and happenings is not going to be appealing to a young man.

[× I V R I V S × !!GgBWHLRiayD No.22023706]

Healthy thymos = wholesome ethymos.

Healthy phrenes = wholesome phrœnesis.

[× I V R I V S × !!GgBWHLRiayD No.22023745]

Wholesome ethymos, therefore, healthy thymos, and syncordant etymos, therefore, coherent system, and firm stem.

Equilibrium, therefore, united distinctions; equanimity, therefore, curated instinctions.

Unironically study NDEs and realize that there actually is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die. So get your spiritual outlook on life in order so that you know what matters and can work on that. And NDErs talk about how the meaning of life is to learn to love and be kind and thrive here despite how hard it is in this world. So how is it going anon? <3

Here is a very persuasive argument for why NDEs are real:

https://youtu.be/U00ibBGZp7o

It emphasizes that NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

>"Among those with the deepest experiences 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."

Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world by comparison.

Or as one person quoted in pic related summarized their NDE:

>"As my soul left my body, I found myself floating in a swirling ocean of multi-colored light. At the end, I could see and feel an even brighter light pulling me toward it, and as it shined on me, I felt indescribable happiness. I remembered everything about eternity - knowing, that we had always existed, and that all of us are family. Then old friends and loved ones surrounded me, and I knew without a doubt I was home, and that I was so loved."

Needless to say, even ultraskeptical neuroscientists are convinced by really deep NDEs.

So read NDE accounts and basically all you can about NDEs. Books, YouTube-videos, articles, everything. They will make you realize that there is an afterlife, that there is meaning to life, and that NDErs say that the primary purpose here is to learn to love everyone and everything, no matter what. That it does not matter so much what kind of things we do, but whether we do them with no strings attached, and summon that kindness, love, and compassion on the inside of our own minds as we do it. So the meaning of life then, according to NDErs, is the small things. Whether it is helping someone with their homework, cooking dinner for our family, cleaning the bathroom, or picking up trash from the ground. Whatever it is, if we do it with love, then that is so huge on the other side, it is amazingly huge. So life is like a game where the goal is to summon as much kindness, love, compassion, and generosity as we possibly can squeeze out of our intentions. Which admittedly is definitely easier said than done!

You are playing life on a higher difficulty anon. We are here to learn to shine with love and kindness _in a world where it is undeniably hard to do so_! So are you up for the challenge? You can do it anon. Show us you can do it.

So sure, suicide shoots you directly to heaven and infinite bliss. But at the same time, you were there when choosing to come here. Suicide is therefore like turning off the Silent Hill video game and going out in the sun and playing with your friends. Which is totally fine! But it's not beating and 100%-ing the game, which is to live until death takes you, and being kind and loving all the time along the way.

So choosing to come here is like choosing to go to Harvard. It is not easy, and you have to be somebody to even get to come here. As NDErs say, everybody on Earth is a star on the other side for having the courage and endurance to come to this nightmare hellhole.

Genuine answer: a Bible. Big page count, gilded edge, faux leather cover, ribbon marker. Not a high percentage chance it’s anything else.

Are you sure they're gilt? It also looks more like 300-400 pages of standard weight than biblically light stock to me, but if they're gilt, it makes sense. In the interest of context clues, is it a hospital or an airport? Medical texts are often leatherbound with a ribbon.
