I Am Elon Musk’s Secret Mystic Sensei
My contract just did not allow me to reveal this until this month
Yes, it’s true.
This is the big reveal party of the decade. I’m the one that planted the seed that gave Mr. Musk his start.
I’m his sensei.
I was not permitted to reveal the details. But the contract is finished, so I’m free to share now.
From my location in New York, which we fondly call The Eagle’s Nest, I’m writing this article to let you know how you too can achieve this greatness.
Here it is, step by step:
- Mindset is everything. You must believe you can achieve anything. Even when you think you can’t do a thing, you must do the thing. When Elon started here, he was a young padawan. He carried water. He chopped wood. He weeded the vegetable garden. At first, he wasn’t too keen on these things. But after a couple of years, he started to smile, and even whistle while he worked. This is how I knew he was ready for step 2.
- Keep in mind, he was quite young. So he still had a good deal of youthful energy and strength. It would be too late for the likes of say, Paul Hossfield to follow this path. He’s already a grumpy old man, and unlikely to change his ways at this point. But I’d be willing to give him a chance. Step 2 is snow shoveling and ice picking. This requires a winter stay here in the north. Back in the days that Elon was here, this was easier. Climate change has severely affected this step. I may be moving north soon, to find a spot that still gets snow and ice.
- The third step that I taught Elon was how to dream, and how to journal. This was more challenging. It meant we needed to work on more fine motor skills. After all the outdoor work, it wasn’t an easy task to convince him that there was anything to be learned by sitting still for long periods of time and just thinking and writing.
- After months of dreaming and writing came the secret sauce. I taught him how to reach into the journals and find the patterns that would eventually lead to the creation of The Big Ideas. I taught him how to channel. You know — the way Edison and Einstein and those guys did it. This is the magical mystical part. This is where the secrets lie. It’s only through experience and teachings with a master, that one can learn how to do this. I’ve been studying this shit since I’m 3 years old, with my own set of masters who taught me. I know my shit.
- Lastly, we wrote up a contract that swore both of us to secrecy until June 2, 2021. After that, either of us was free to talk about our experiences.
I find myself now with the freedom to take on another cohort of padawans.
As I am aging, I’m no longer willing to do this work free. Elon was the last of that generation who benefitted from my generosity. Future magnates need to pay me up front.
For a limited time, I have space for 5 new padawans. The cost? $100,000 per year, and includes room and board. You will be guaranteed to learn how to create the life of your dreams. All taught by the Sensei of Elon Musk. Oh, and also, the Sensei of Matt Lillywhite. He paid me a million up front. How do you think he learned to make all those billions?
I seriously doubt that Elon will disclose that I was his sensei. This is the problem with not charging for your work up front. People don’t value the teachings, and go on to think they did it all themselves. It’s too easy to claim all the credit for yourself without giving proper accreditation where it is due. That’s okay. Karma, baby.
For payment, details and scheduling, leave a comment on this post with information on how I can reach you. Emails are preferred. I may not get back to you immediately. Be sure to include why I should choose YOU. I am sure to be overwhelmed with applicants. Be patient. You know that saying, ‘When the teacher is ready.” The ancient mystics never did get transcription right.
