The New 48 Laws of Power

 The new laws of power

This is in response to the "48 laws of power" as written by Robert Greene. I read that and I was disgusted. If you want to understand the comparison, it's easy to find on a search engine.

So without further ado, here is the new version. In Joy!


  1. You are equal to the master in all ways and qualities

  2. Trust your friends, and have no enemies.

  3. Reveal your intentions and make them known, be transparent.

  4. Speak as much as you need to. Speak, for goodness sakes, speak.

  5. Fuck your reputation.

  6. Authentic creation is more important than doing things to get attention. Authenticity is truly powerful.

  7. Do your own work, and don’t take credit for the work of others.

  8. Don’t play games with people. If you want something from someone, tell them. Don’t be an asshole.

  9. Stop being concerned with winning. You aren’t in a competition.

  10. Take compassionate actions to help people who are less fortunate than yourself. Don’t look down on them. They can’t “infect” you with their bad luck.

  11. Help people become independent and not need you.

  12. Be honest for the sake of being honest. Be honest fully.

  13. Ask for help in your authentic vulnerability, there is mercy and goodness in humanity.

  14. Be a real friend, or get out.

  15. You have no enemies.

  16. Show up and be present. 

  17. Never use fear to control others. Radiate love.

  18. Go within and retreat from humanity.

  19. Be who you are no matter what.

  20. Commit to those who will commit to you.

  21. Never pretend to be less than what you are to manipulate someone. Shine bright and display your intelligence.

  22. Build your resilience.

  23. Let it flow.

  24. Be the royal you know you are.

  25. You are the act of divinity creating itself in human form. 

  26. Get your hands dirty.

  27. Be grounded in all you do and let people form their own views without your influence.

  28. Be cautious.

  29. You don’t need to know the end, just show up in faith for the next step.

  30. Reveal just how challenging it was to accomplish what you have.

  31. Help people see how many options there are beyond what you have to offer them.

  32. Honor people’s sovereignty.

  33. With compassion help people to stop suffering.

  34. Everyone is special, so no one is.

  35. Trust your own unique rhythm.

  36. Allow yourself to yearn, to long, to desire. 

  37. Just be real.

  38. Act as differently as you care to.

  39. Allow the waters to settle.

  40. Love free stuff. Accept what is given with gratitude.

  41. Step into shoes of greatness, for you are great. Greatness lives within you.

  42. Live and let live.

  43. Allow people to work on their own hearts and minds.

  44. Don’t reflect others. Just exist.

  45. Practice what you preach, mofo.

  46. Appear as perfect as you damn well please.

  47. There is no goal, nothing to prove, and no self.

  48. You are formless in form, form in formlessness.

When you have a dream, everything in the universe conspires to make it a reality. This, I believe, is truly law. There are no excuses for not following your deepest dreams. Even if you can’t see the whole road right now (which you won’t, because that’s the whole point of the journey and what makes it actually fun) you will find that roads open before your very eyes the moment you are ready to walk on them. Yesterday I thought of my Grandma. She passed when I was 15. For a while recently, every time I thought of her, I cried involuntarily. Yet I realize she is with me. I cry because I feel her love for me so strongly. She is always with me, and her love for me has only grown with her passing from this world to the spirit. She guides me, and she helps me. She brings people into my life who are supportive, loving and accepting of me. I thought of her yesterday, and then I talked to her, and I knew she would bring us the next ride. It was going to be energetically different, somehow, in...

This Universe is Built On Love

This is a universe fundamentally built on love. That’s why it takes so much effort to hate, to hurt others or yourself, to cause war, because it is not natural to us, whatsoever. We are made to believe, because of a mass agenda to keep humanity from awakening consciousness, that we are inherently violent and that we cannot live in a way that is peaceful, harmonious, easy, gentle, and naturally joyous. This is so far from the truth. Peace and harmony are our origins. This is, perhaps, a radical statement. But only because the brainwashing is so effective. We are made to believe that we are inherently violent and incapable of peace because those who are in “control” do not want us to create peace! If we believed it were possible and that we were inherently capable of harmony, we would create it effortlessly. It is our birthright to live a rich, soul-wealthy life. If there is harmony, and we all grow our food, and produce our own items as needed, what is the use of money? If we share ...

6 Lessons I've Learned So Far Traveling

Traveling lesson number 1 : There is no point of arrival. Even when you get to where you are going, you stand there and say, “now where to?” There is no point when you say, “I’ve made it.” You just continue to go on. There’s no place that you stop and say, “okay. I’m good. I’m done.” It doesn’t exist. When we get to where we think we’re going, we realize that’s only the first part of a journey towards somewhere else. When taken all together, we realize that it’s all a succession of events that are really going towards nowhere in particular. This is freedom! This means that we don’t really have to do anything, go anywhere, be anything. We just are. And we are just going. When you travel, you can see this so much more clearly, at least I can, because the journey takes on a faster form. When you live in a house, and work somewhere in a town you live, and live there for several years, it all looks a lot slower, but in reality the process is the same. Eventually you die. But even t...
