Both back today.

Strained my shoulder in the morning, painfully bunched up for about 3 hours. Decided to listen to Paragon for 3 min, instantly loosened up, ache still there but duller.

Was reminded of the energy tax of Paragon.

But it’s a pleasant kind of tiredness, and possibly led to a good sleep.

Starting 2025 with a washout. Then ASBR custom + KB1.

I think I can run KB just once a week, so maybe a third title.

Today I still feel the energy and warm arms, but not to the extent of the “layer of warmth”, walked through a windy afternoon and felt it.

So about a week is right.

Full loop of Khan Black 1. No head denseness. Noticeable increase in warmth after an hour.

Very hard to track but I think my intuition’s slightly improved since the Alchemist run.

I haven’t been able to consciously rely on it though, the way others have experienced on the thread.

Comparing full-loop KB1’s effects the last few days, feel the increase in warmth but milder without the perineum heat flashes from the 3m30s run.

Just ran 15min of the ASBR custom without head denseness.

Work be like:

But TGIF, and Frosthaven session at night went just-as-planned levels of well.

A lot of self-questioning as to what I want to achieve, but unfortunately it’s a struggle finding answers.

Urge to learn something in my bucket list, blocked by reminders that most of what I pick up fade into obscurity anyway. So back to the age-old question, “what’s the point?”, which I still can’t address.

Rainy days here.

My KB results are pretty much feeling warmer and more energetic, which is important to me but probably unexciting to report :sweat_smile: No sexual insight etc

Since I can run the full loops without head denseness, I’ll keep with the full loops this week.

A day with a(nother) terrible bombshell.

I seem to keep manifesting failure, and if I take others’ words for it, failure that is “not your fault, life is just like that”.

Feels like the powers beyond are fucking me over for laughs.

What’s the point of working hard if I’m “rewarded” like this?

Bitter start to the year.

Maybe I should find another job, if I have the guts to quit the salary.

Got advice on how to handle the recent shit in an office-politically correct way. Wish there was something stronger I could do though.

Wednesday evening:
Impulsively listened to Quantum Limitless 3 for 3min.
Last did QL in May 2024, so on top of my mood, unsurprisingly ended up with a heavy head for the night.

Thursday:

  • Got around to looking into something on my mind before Monday’s shit
  • It’s possible
  • Everything I need is open-source, and I already know what and how to mod
  • Was told I can take time off to clear my head, while waiting for shit to resolve
  • Realized my home machine is core-to-core faster than my work one (but it’s Windows, so I have to VirtualBox…)

Needs implementation to confirm, but feeling more secure with an idea in my pocket. How to leverage it idk, get it working first.

  • Tallied my liquid today and realized I have quite a lot more than I thought. The result of not maintaining a spreadsheet for 2024, but hey money
  • Got around to checking Linkedin and realized I have local alternatives, with possibly close pay. One-bus-rides too
  • Sub-wise 3-4min still seems like the sweet spot, even if I can go to 15 without head denseness. At least for a fast effect to break a rut

Foosball on point today.

The should-switch-subs-up-every-cycle proves to persist, so will take a break from ASBR.

Need RAM to carry out pet project, so additional purchases this month, and will have to wait :confused:

Busy day entertaining guests. More when Lunar New Year comes.

Estimate that I’ve had ~ two cycles of my ASBR-Limitless custom, including a break during family troubles, and now a break again.

To some extent, I can already feel the loss of ASBR’s fame aspect, though I couldn’t manifest it well to begin with.

Feels like I have very limited results from Limitless, the main result being speaking out more, but can’t say I noticed improvement in any aspect of intelligence.

I was way less productive in this combination than ASBR-Spartan, but shit happened.

Overdrive I still credit for the result last Nov.

Synergy: At the Top:

  • I’m riled very easily, so can’t feel the Lion IV and Total Nonchalance aspects much.
  • When listening to it, I keep noticing hunches and slouches and correct them. Although ASBR is said to have posture correction, I didn’t notice it previously, so I believe this to be Alpha Body Language. It’s not default posture yet, so I have to keep correcting.
  • I can feel Rogue to some extent, in that I catch apology/guilt reflex and go “whatever fuck that”. Which feels good. The be-prepared-to-offend-people does kick in, especially in the last temperamental week. Ebon Maneuver has not helped with this self-destructive tendency, and to some extent I feel justified to not to meekly put up with shit. But it took that recent QL3 listen to channel the anger more effectively.

I have Synergy: Iron Law in the custom, but definitely not more composed under stress. Well, last week when I was advised to keep my cool:

justlie

And I’ll have to learn to apply this in spades. :confused:

As always feel the loss of Fearsome and Limiting People Remover.

Rest I’ll keep private.

What to replace this? I can do Emperor to replace ASBR. For replacing Limitless, I have a positive memory of QL3 last year and the abrupt listen last week gave very good trailer effect, but also a heavy head that night since I just jumped right back in. But unlike KB I’m reluctant to rerun through the full QL, especially with the experience of old nerve pain during QL1.

The thought back from when I first started ASBR: Maybe I need less cognitive improvement and more removing things that take up space in my head. Focus, maybe, if I attribute last Friday’s foosball performance to QL3.

KB1 continues to keep me warm, it’s been a rainy month so far.

Aside from current subs, noticed better intuition again, but either in rather pointless stuff, like checking my phone at the exact moment a message shows up, or in Cassandra-lite stuff, like feeling the need to leave ASAP, get held back and suddenly rain starts.

KB1:

Did an intent-related exercise last night. Woke up this morning feeling particularly depleted in my solar plexus.

Decided to full-loop KB1. 5min in, the area stopped feeling depleted. 10min in, it grew and is still warm.
