How to develop peak mental strength?

[oloy]

By mental strength, I mean this post by fire:

@Fire

I’ll point out that by mental strength, I do not mean slow intellectual capabilities (although it could be a symptom). It is a quality of the mind to penetrate into the core of the issue and grasp at the truth, regardless of the layers around it, as well as the ability to hold its “structure” against ideas without collapsing. It is the ability to play around with, compare and analyze new ideas without falling for any. It is the ability to outright reject false ideas and belief systems - which ties into penetrating into the core of such ideas.

With a developed mental strength, one can penetrate into a belief/idea system at the outset and know whether it is true or false.

It can be trained, and it is related to the mind as well as to your intuition and inner sensitivity. That is what I mean by mental strength.

What books or courses or practices can be used to develop this type of mental strength? (other than running dragon reborn (specifically st2)).

And that’s the reason I’m asking this question. I wanna do the practices / consume books that help me with this while I’m running dragon reborn st2.

Thank you!

That makes sense.
But there has got to be a systematic way of strengthening the mind right?
Maybe its a type of meditation…

@IRON

Perhaps surrounding yourself with people who already possess this skill to some extend and spend time with them might be your best bet.

The thing is dr st 1 has already given me some forms of the ability fire is talking about. I have very high hopes for dr st2 in this regard.

But I thought, I’d take action for even better results. Hence this question. Thanks for your input!

Meditation, hands down. Energetic cultivation. Martial arts.

The Dragon Reborn is different from Phoenix.
With DR I was able to play things a nonchalant way. I combine this with my meditation routine, and each stage has it’s own unique experienced.

Along the way it will guide you, people will come to you, you may also find interest on books.Don’t force yourself on something just because some people are doing it.Feel the energy and allow it to do it’s thing.

Along side DR, I listened to EoG, HoM, R.I.C.H, etc (I don’t listened to them at once of course) I become quite interested with accounting and I can remember I hate doing accounting jobs.

I focus my mind on what I wanted to be done, I ignore the rest.

For me it was old Spartan in Q.

Brutaly strong mental strength after 1 loop.

Never tried the Zp versions

Dis-identifying with the environment. If you identify with the environment, Above, it affects the, Below, which is your inner world. Doing the opposite is the ultimate strength. Its both the easiest and hardest thing to master

So… are you sure about this? Didn’t the doctors suggest for you to stop meditating?

@oloy

And have suggested that I stop meditating (coz they think unguided meditation is causing me to have these spiritual experiences). And this might be causing them to lean towards my diagnosis

By the way, you didn’t really say what they diagnosed you with. It would be useful to know, if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks.

He says to not meditate continuously.
And he says simple awareness type meditations are fine.

Meditated for like 3 hrs total time today.
Am reading this book: Amazon.com
The beginning chapters are good so far.

from today, my “mental structure” doesn’t collapse no matter what happens. all thanks to drst4 + sanguine (1 cycle), this post from @fire, and daily long periods (6 hrs -ish) meditations on it: makes me socially alpha, and more importantly silent mind in all situations (its not completely silent but the remaining inner voice is of useful astute analysis of situations on right times).
