Paul Robeson (1898–1976) was an American singer, actor, athlete, and activist who became a prominent figure in the 20th century for his artistry and commitment to social justice. Born in Princeton, New Jersey, Robeson excelled academically and athletically, earning a scholarship to Rutgers University, where he was a standout football player and valedictorian of his class. He later earned a law degree from Columbia University but left the legal profession due to racial discrimination.
Robeson gained international fame for his deep bass-baritone voice and powerful stage presence. He is best remembered for his performances in productions such as Show Boat (notably singing "Ol' Man River") and Othello, which he portrayed on stage in both the U.S. and the U.K. He also had a successful recording and film career.
Robeson was a vocal advocate for civil rights, labour rights, and anti-colonial movements. He criticized racism in the U.S., supported the labour movement, and opposed fascism. His outspoken support for socialism and his association with the Soviet Union during the Cold War led to his blacklisting in the U.S., a significant decline in his career, and heavy government surveillance.
In his later years, Robeson's health declined due to a combination of medical issues and the stress of political persecution. He retired from public life in the mid-1960s and lived out his final years in Philadelphia.
Paul Robeson died on January 23, 1976, at the age of 77, from complications of a stroke. He left behind a legacy as a trailblazing artist and a fearless advocate for equality and human rights.

> LOCK IN < IN PRACTICE
1. Final Decision – You decide that you already have it. You are not trying, hoping or wishing. It is already yours.
2. Nothing Outside of It Exists – Anything that does not reflect your decision is irrelevant. If it arises, ignore it or reinterpret it in your favor.
3. Zero Reaction – Adverse circumstances have no weight. They do not change your inner certainty.
4. Absolute Confidence – You do not need to “fix” anything. Your only function is to remain certain that you already have it.
5. Living Normally – You act and think as if you already have it, effortlessly, without trying to “make it happen”.
Lock in it is about making your decision so absolute that external reality has no choice but to bow to it.
Dealing with doubts and contradictions in the "who told you?" method
(inspiration from the power of i am)
Who told you that you are feeling like shit? Who told you that you have no money? Who told you that you don’t have your SP? Who told you that you angry or depressed?
remember the divine order of things: as WITHIN so WITHOUT.
If you are giving power to the external and bringing it to the internal and allowing it to intoxicate you, you are giving your divine power away.
So who told you that?
Always ask that and go back within and remind yourself of the truth and correct that then go live your life.
If you absorb an identity and you are BEING it, everything you do will lead to that, there is no wrong choice, theres no wrong movement, as long as you remain the person you chose within and don't contradict that.
