Mark Divine

If there was a warrior gene, then the SEALs have learned how to turn that on in a big way to where you get activities like, you know what, I'm willing to lay my life down for my teammate. You don't see that very often in modern world. That is a very much of a warrior gene that's been turned on where you put yourself, you know, your teammates so far above yourself.

And that's one of the reasons that the training is so effective because nothing gets done alone as a SEAL. That's why we call the SEAL teams. And when you have an individual, let's say, take Mark Devine, who knows that he's capable of 20 times more, and then you put him with a team of 14 others in a platoon or maybe 35 others in a troop or 40 others in the troop, and every one of those individuals

knows that they're capable of 20 times more and they're all watching each other's back and care about each other and know that each other is absolutely essential to getting the mission done, then you get an effect that's not like 20 times, but like 20 times, 20 times, 20 times, 20 times. You know what I mean? Just multiply it by a number of people. It's an enormous geometric effect.

Yeah, that's a great question because you're right. Not everyone is going to go through SEAL training, nor would you want to, frankly, because it sucks.

So, I kind of spent the balance of my, you know, the last 15 years trying to figure out how do you train, not that same experience, even though, you know, through my seal fit program, we have recreated the Hell Week experience and it has an incredible effect and civilians can go through it. But through my unbeatable mind training, I looked at it and said, okay, so, what's happening?

But through my unbeatable mind training, I looked at it and said, okay, so, what's happening?

And I tried to understand what is happening at a mind and a body and a spirit and nervous system level. Yeah. And can I kind of parse out those different elements and train them? And so I began doing that with SEAL candidates back in 2007, 2008, because I started training SEAL candidates.

I wanted to help them succeed the way I did in SEAL training and to have a better career and be more focused and make better decisions in battle and to avoid PTSD and all those things.

And so I began to draw more or kind of like I would say equal parts from my Navy SEAL days with my yoga and martial arts training because I realized that the Eastern practices had a lot of tools and they were a developmental path for accessing greater power, almost 20x power and developing internal potential. Right. and integrating and being able to use your mind in a unique way or a better way.

And this is lacking in the West. There really isn't any developmental models that I'm aware of that didn't come from either the martial arts or yoga. There was some understanding of it philosophically through integral theory and transpersonal psychology and stuff like that, but there weren't any practices or paths, if you know what I mean, in the traditional sense.

And so, I looked at my own martial arts training and my own, I went deep into yoga and into teach, I've been to multiple teacher trainings. and was even developing our own yoga to teach to SEALs, which I, you know, had to really simplify and chunk it out into drills and discard any woo-woo, you know what I mean? I took the foo out of the Kung Fu and took the woo-woo out of the yoga to teach it.
