Beyond The Looking Glass is the second book in the Unseen series, a story that came to me from the other side. A story where I thought I was just the narrator until I heard the Words of the Unseen.

This second story goes beyond time and place and mixes the long ago with the here and now. Because history keeps repeating, until we learn and do something about it.

Beyond The Looking Glass - Words of the Unseen - Chapter 141

Dear Reader, the mind is dangerous, it´s a minefield ready to rip you to shreds.

It loves to deceive with false truths, it will present as beliefs, and you and I will happily accept.

Why not, it´s our brain, our heart, our guts telling us these things, nothing wrong with that, right?

True, why would you want to deceive yourself? That makes no sense at all; you are always looking out for your best interest.

What if I told you that your mind doesn’t always act in your long-term best interest, but it acts in your perceived short-term survival interest? Its mindset will always be: if tomorrow is safe, why worry about next year?

So what do I want to be... I guess I want to be the modern Oniko, the "teacher of many ways."

Which makes perfect sense, because he was Martio´s teacher, Martio took his place when coming home after a very long journey, and I will take the place when I come home.

Home is where the heart is, and my heart is already at The Refugio.
Oniko knew all and cared about each in the tribe. He was not white, not angry, and I am sure he was not old from the start.

How I love it when things come full circle, but in this case, the circle is not full. Don´t want to be the grumpy old man who sees the glass half empty, but a plan is just a plan until you act on it.

That acting part is where I struggle, or consider myself struggling.

For the last few years, I have been generating wealth, and it´s been a slow but uptrending process.

Then I figured out what the wealth would be used for, and a million scenarios came into play.
Part of me really wants to take that first step and make a mark, buy a starting point.

Selling my investments in crypto and a few others, plus my savings, will allow me to do so.
I have done the initial research, and I have a basic idea where to look.
But there are two things holding me back, or maybe three.

The place will come to me, that is one. Which does not mean that I should not go out and explore, but it will come to me. Because it´s there, waiting, and it will present itself.

Am I a fool to believe? I gave up giving a flying cockroach about that a while ago.

I am committed to this third inning, and I am here to play it to the best of my ability while enjoying it more than the first two combined.

The other thing, there will be one more addition to my wealth. It might be the lottery, it might be a 10X on my ALT coin portfolio. Its abundance, it can come from anywhere, and I should let it flow, not trying to control it.

There is just this strong feeling that something is hanging above my head, and it will come down right on time, and for once, it´s no rain.

These past few years, especially my time in crypto, have taught me the value of patience and how important it is not to let FOMO dictate your choices.

It will always be uncomfortable, but you need to recognize opportunity and understand what you are getting yourself into. That takes time, but there is always the next opportunity.

I recognize myself getting impatient and wanting to push that buy button. Instead, I should focus on doing a little more research.

Now there is the third risk, procrastination.

Right now, research is still a fair point, but it can also be an excuse to slow myself down. Just like believing that it will come to me and I will have a bit more to spend when it does.

They can all be excuses, guess I need to create a very objective checklist that will give me a real picture if I am trying to find excuses, or if I am actually still in the planning phase.

My mind is a master of manipulation, especially when it comes to myself. It might actually tell me that I am impatient and want to buy now, just so that I overlook my own procrastination.

How paranoid do I need to be not to trust my mind, or is that actually normal not to trust your own mighty manipulator?

I guess the truth, as always, lies somewhere in the middle, and the goal isn’t to distrust my mind entirely, but to observe it like a clever opponent in a game of chess.

This, by the way, is also new. This need to step back and say:

“Wait — am I lying to myself right now?”

I really need to become aware and ask, "Who benefits from this thought?”

There is only a very thin nd treacherous line between making a wise decision and not wanting to leave my comfort zone and part with my financial safety blanket.

And Damn, I love my safety blanket, for the first time in life I have enough financial firepower to not stress when it rains on my parade.
