  • Step one: choose your frame.That's it.

    Open from within your frame! Simply think about the frame you're in, the frame you want, the story you want to be in, then open from within that frame. That's it. Simply ask her a question about something you care about, expecting the right answer. Expect the best. Ask for the best. Get the best. Don't assume anything else but her being fit for your universe. Thus, choose high-quality HB9+, so that you're actually consistent. Then open them the way you'd want them to want to be opened. You choose the reality you want to live in. Your target will react to that frame and adopt the personality you assign her.

    The role you assign to her, becomes the one and only reality. The role she adopts within your game becomes her defined, revealed, personality. Whatever you want her to be, she'll be. Game's called game for a reason.

    And thus, your reality becomes her reality, which becomes your reality. All you need is to know what to want. You will get it.

  • Mystery - The Three Second Rule

    The Three Second Rule, like many rules of Game, has been one which I've known for a long time, yet ignored for just as long.

    Ignoring it has often cost me dearly. Now it's time to finally take it seriously:

    • When you see a girl you want to approach, approach her within three seconds. Don't let her time to think about it. Don't let yourself time to think about it.

    • When you see the slightest opportunity of going for the kiss close, kiss close within three seconds. Don't leave her time to start her hamster and find reasons to reject you.

    But it's not all. Like all the rules of game, it goes way beyond pick-up. When you have a decision to make, make it within three seconds. And act on it within three seconds. (Steve Pavlina recommends 60 seconds, by the way.)

    Especially if you have to do something bold. For instance, I arrived at this classy party with a queue of dozens of people, and body searches at the entrance. There was absolutely no way I was gonna wait and go through this. The other way in was obvious to me: the party was down a two metres wall with a barrier. All you had to do was cross the barrier, hang on the wall, and let yourself fall. The thing was, if you were to do it, you had to do it within three seconds. Don't hesitate. Don't linger on the side. Have it happening so quick that even if people see you they won't notice. And of course, take the decision to go within three seconds. Don't give fear time to overcome you.

    Literally dozens of people came to the side of the barrier, had the same idea, thought about it, and walked on. A group of guys hesitated, got on the barrier, stayed on it for almost long enough to be seen, then aborted. No one jumped.

    I just walked to the barrier, jumped it easily, and within three seconds, I was walking amongst the party crowd, inconspicuously. (I do admit having hesitated for more than three seconds watching the aforementioned scene, instead of going right in: 10 minutes of fear instead of enjoying the party already after three seconds. Point well taken.) The only people who had noticed my feat were a group of girls, who were making impressed comments. Yes, it was that easy to get in. Yes, rules are made to be broken. Society's rules, that is, which are all to be treated as shit tests. Not the rules of the Game, and especially not the Three Second Rule.

    Make it a habit. Going into the cold shower? Three seconds. Getting into the cold water? Three seconds. Saying what you want to say? Three seconds. Leaving when you want to go? Three seconds. Get into the habit of doing everything you want to do eventually right now-within three seconds. Trust me: why hesitate for minutes, hours or days, and then have regrets for hours, days or months? Don't miss windows of opportunity that all too often exist for mere seconds. Act within three seconds. Always.

  • EVEY: Thank you but I’d rather die behind the chemical sheds.

    Her last words hang in the air.

    ROSSITER :Then there’s nothing left to threaten you with, is there? You are free.

    He turns and leaves.

    EVEY : What?

    She listens as his footsteps fade down the hall, the door hanging weirdly open.

    Evey takes a few tentative steps toward the door and sticks her head out into the empty hall, peering down both ways.

    Slowly, she emerges from her cell, retracing her path down the hall that her blindfold never allowed her to see.

    Quietly inching along the wall, Evey peeks around a corner, gasping at the rigid guard standing off to the side. There is something about the man’s frozen stare that keeps her from running.

    Evey straightens and crosses to the guard.

    It is a mannequin.

    She touches him, the wheeled platform he is mounted on rolling back against the wall.

  • What Christians don't understand :

    1. Christians often see atheists as either acknowleding the Christian God or rejecting him. That's not the case. We consider the Bible as irrelevant blabber, and the Christian God as only one among a million of preposterous superstitions we don't believe in, eg Roman Gods, Greek Gods, etc. We don't grant their particular form of superstition any status. We don't choose a different option of Pascal's wager, we completely reject its premises.

    2. Even if they were right and their God existed and corresponded to the description given in the Bible, we would reject him. Why? Because we actually take morality seriously. Morality is not about doing the right thing because you're scared of going to hell, morality is doing the right thing because it's the right thing, even if it meant going to hell. A moral person would rather go to hell with a clear conscience than commit crimes to be granted heaven.

    3. Case in point, when God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, this should have been a shit test, that is, the right answer should have been: murder is wrong, and I shall not murder my son. If someone asks me to commit such a crime, he cannot be a god but a devil, therefore, it can only be a shit test – either God acting as the devil to test me, or the devil pretending to be God to push me into sin. It cannot be a regular test from a rightful God. Therefore, if it were indeed a regular test from God, then he is ipso facto not a rightful God, thus, I have no moral duty to obey him, and if he were to send me to hell for refusing to murder an innocent child, then so be it: I'd rather go to hell than be a murderer.

    Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
