Time Text
Greetings my esteemed audience.
I am checking in from Hyperborea, a beautiful and frozen kingdom.
So as you see in the title of this video, you are a soul, you have a mind and you have a body.
Important distinction.
So we'll get straight into it.
But first a message from the sponsor of this video, the greatest sponsor, the greatest clothing brand.
So I am warm and cozy despite it being quite cold outside.
And that's because I'm wearing the Ulrus undergarments.
So do yourself a favor, do me a favor, head over immediately to legugloria.com, place an order for the set.
Otherwise, you will not make it.
I'm sorry to say, if you don't order, you will not make it.
So yeah, do head over and check it out.
Still have a sale going on as well.
So yeah, perhaps you can find something to your liking there as well.
No, you are a soul.
And this is actually simplifying the matter.
I will talk about the Nordic, the Germanic soul complex in a different video or perhaps a podcast because it's quite detailed.
The ancient Nords, the ancient Germanics, the ancient Indo-Europeans, they had profound metaphysical system and then things were simplified with Christianity.
So that's something to be said at first.
But to begin with, to begin, we can say that we are souls and we have minds and bodies.
So this is only my understanding of the nature of reality, of God, of the universe, of life.
So take it with a pinch of salt.
You can combine my insights with the insights of others and you can think about it yourself.
This is only me being out here in a beautiful landscape, schizophrenia a bit.
So take it for what it is.
Only my understanding.
And you will probably encounter this thought in texts and various religious teachings and whatnot.
So to just respond to the question, what religion am I?
I usually say that I am a syncretic pagan and the overwhelming majority of the gods and goddesses in my pantheon are Nordic, so Germanic, the Germanic pantheon that you all know.
So Frey, Freya, Odin, Thor, etc.
Now, that said, you are a soul.
The soul is immortal.
It's connected to God.
So when you're born or when you're conceived, perhaps more accurate to say, you come down from God.
You, the soul, comes down to the physical body and animates it.
What happens when you die, you might wonder?
And of course, again, disclaimer, many, many words have been spoken about the matter.
So again, this is just my understanding of it now.
So you go back to God.
The soul goes back to God.
The one, the Neoplatonic One.
And then you have realms of the afterlife as well.
But we can talk about that in a different video.
So the pointer is that we have, you know, 80 to 100 years or less.
Hopefully not.
But hopefully we all have good long lives.
And then we go back to where we came from, which is God.
So that happens when you're conceived or when you're born, depending on how you view life.
But yeah, that's fair to say at least.
That you, the soul, you come from God, you animate a body.
So, me walking around right now, I am a soul, I determine my thoughts, I determine my body.
Now, this is actually quite hard, as I talked about in a recent video, that it's quite hard to be in charge of your thoughts, of your body.
That's why you have gluttons, for example, people who have issues with various temptations.
And also, like I talked about in the recent video about depression, that if you feel something like that coming on, realize that you are not your thoughts.
Realize that you can control your thoughts if you have enough power in your mind.
And of course, since you are not your mind, you need to have control over your mind.
So, again, you are not your body, you are not your mind.
But if you're strong enough in your soul, you as an entity, then you can control, then you can be in charge of the matter.
So, I usually refer to Plato's idea of his soul chariot.
So, you, the soul, you are in charge of the chariot, and then you have two horses, so you need to take care of your horses.
So, if we name one horse physical desires, so we're talking about something like sex, it's important to not stifle that completely, but also to be in charge of those impulses.
Because if you're not in charge of those impulses, then you might become addicted to pornography or something like that, or you can you know have a bad relationship with women or whatever it might be.
So, you need to be in charge of your impulses, but you also don't need to starve them.
So, if our religious doctrine says that something like sex is bad, it's not bad, it's just that it needs to be kept under control so you don't let that horse run amok and do what it wants.
Same thing with you know, food or whichever thing that can go too far.
So, also, speaking of the body, that you are not your body, you have a body which you can optimize if you have the will for it.
Now, this is important to realize that you are not your body because that will make you a bit more humble in a good way, a bit more grateful for what you do have.
So, I'm sure everyone wishes they would have some differences to their body.
Some guys might want to be a bit taller, some women might want to be a bit more beautiful, etc.
I wish I were so handsome that people would start crying by just looking at me.
I wish I were so handsome that people would think, is this Sanguinius from the Horus Heresy from Warhammer 40k?
Alas, this is not the case.
Is it something I lose sleep over?
No, it's not because I know it's it is what it is.
I can do what I can, it's not something I obsess over.
I try to get good sleep, good training, good diet.
That's what I can do.
Then, of course, there are those who take it too far.
But, in my humble opinion, beauty for a man is about performance, it's about health, it's about being you know, your physical exterior reflects your inner thumb, your vitality.
So, it's not good to be vain in that sense.
It's good to have a natural beauty if you can by taking care of the same things that also make you more productive and more and healthier.
So, that is a good type of focus on beauty, but it can get too far.
So in that case I would say that you have a temple, you have a vehicle for your soul, do take care of it, but also remember that the purpose of you having a vehicle is not to you know obsess about your looks, it is what it is.
And it's also not a super attractive thing for a man to be overly obsessed with his looks.
So even though you might wish for something else, maybe you wish you were a bit taller, maybe you wish you had a bit broader shoulders, maybe you wish you were a bit more handsome, it's not good to obsess about it.
This is the body you have in this life for however many years.
80, 90, 100 years, 60 years.
Who knows?
This is what you have to deal with now.
This is what you were given in this reincarnation.
Then when you die, you go back to God and then you're reincarnated later on, perhaps in a different body.
Perhaps you have a worse body.
Perhaps you have a better body.
Perhaps you have a better mind.
Who knows?
Who knows?
Now this also brings us into the topic of transgenderism.
I'm not sure how relevant it is anymore in almost 2026, but I thought comment on it at least because it's quite related.
You know, how you perceive yourself, how you perceive your being, your body, your identity, everything like that.
And I would say that many of these individuals they identify too much with their body.
So they think they are the body instead of viewing the body as a vehicle for this reincarnation, for this life.
Instead of focusing on the fact that you're a soul.
So my recommendation for anyone who might not be comfortable in his or her body is to view it as a temple, as a holy house that you try to be as comfortable as possible in.
So you do try to optimize your health, your hormonal health, and you will feel better.
Your soul will feel more at ease in your body.
You will feel more aligned.
You will feel in charge of the platonic soul chariot, so to speak.
When you are in charge, everything aligns in a better way.
When you, the soul, when you are not in charge, you will not feel good.
If you let the horses of desire, of insecurity, when you let bad thoughts come to you, you can call them demons, maybe, bad emotions, bad thoughts, we can call them demons.
When they come to you and they start dictating what to do, they start dictating that you aren't good enough, that you need to make certain changes to yourself.
Now, don't get me wrong, it's good to change yourself for the better, but it can also go too far.
I see some of these look smaxers, they are, you know, artificially increasing their height because they feel insecure with themselves.
They aren't, they don't want to accept the chariot they've been given, the vehicle they've been given at birth.
Now, again, there's a fine line between trying to optimize your temple and taking it too far.
So, I would say that don't obsess over it, do try to approach beauty and health, your body in a holistic fashion.
That when you think of your looks, you're also thinking about your health.
Because, after all, again, for a man, your looks it's supposed to be a reflection on your vitality and health.
So, yeah, and also, again, it's not super manly to be super vain either.
So to use another example, can have a guy who's balding, which you know I can imagine it's not super fun, but just own it, own the situation.
Think to yourself, yeah, this is not me, this is my body, it's constructed in this way, this was the body, these were the cards I was dealt upon birth.
Then you don't think overly much about it.
So think instead of your performance, especially for a man, you will be judged by your performance.
You will of course be judged to a certain extent upon how you look.
But ultimately we can talk about something like height as well.
Of course all guys want to be a certain height.
Many shorter guys perhaps they want to be taller.
But keep in mind that ultimately you will be judged on your performance.
You will be judged upon the value you can give others.
If you are in a leadership position you will be judged upon your ability to lead others into success.
So don't think all too much about the way you look.
Think more about what sort of value can you bring to others.
Same thing if we're talking about attracting women.
There was a fun joke on X saying that the average Eastern European couple is a very beautiful woman and a man who's not so beautiful.
Then I posted and said that of course it's good to try to be handsome as a man but ultimately when it comes to attracting women it's about your inner strength, your inner core, your stability that you can be a rock that you can lean on and then it's much more important for you to actually be capable of stuff than how you look.
So when you see this looks maxers take it with a pinch of salt when they talk about attraction from women it's also about a woman staying attracted to you trusting you over a long period of time.
Now we can talk a bit about the mind as well, and thoughts, since I mentioned it in the depression video I made, that thoughts can come to you.
You are connected, since you are a soul.
You're connected to other souls.
In a sense, you're connected to all other humans, all other living things.
Everyone is connected to God.
God is in everyone, one could say one could formulate it in that way.
So thoughts can come to you from wherever.
You are not the only.
Your mind is not the only place where thoughts are generated.
You can get a thought from someone else.
It can be transmitted in ways that are beyond my understanding.
But why is it important?
Why is this important?
What I am telling you now?
Yes, it's because you need to.
Especially if bad thoughts are coming to you, you need to realize that they are not you.
It can.
You can view it as a demonic attack.
If you have a thought saying that you are bad, that it's over, view it as enemy propaganda.
You can talk about metapolitics as well.
Whenever someone says it's over for European civilization, it's enemy propaganda.
That's what it is.
Same thing, if you have a thought that comes to you, The thought says that you are bad in some way, that it's over for you, then correctly identify that thought as a demonic attack.
Now, of course, if you don't want to use the term demonic, then you can use something else.
I like to use that terminology because it's, you know, it's cool and epic and stuff like that.
But the point is that a thought is real if you believe in it.
You can actively choose to not believe a thought.
And by the same token, if you have a good thought that comes to you that you feel great, mate, then you can acknowledge that thought and think to yourself, yeah, I feel great, I am great, I am good, we will make it.
So, reality first created in your own mind, something to always bear with you.
Alright, that was my schizo post for the day.
I hope it was somewhat insightful and helpful.
So, to conclude, you are a soul, you come from God, and when you die, well, when your body dies, when your mind dies, then you, still alive, the soul is still alive, it's immortal, goes back to God, and then you will be reincarnated some other time.
And I will talk about this in a coming video or podcast episode.
The soul can also decide when and where to come back into which body.
So, the body you have, the mind you have, might not be up to chance, might be predetermined.
So, something to think about as well.
