(20 loops / 5 days) (Ratio 1 - Survival Instinct, Legacy, Minds Eye T^2, Commander / 2 - ST1)
Practical use summary, use when spinning wheels (pointless activity) and to eliminate toxic energy sources (Cultural Red Pill / Dating in this case). I wanted to finish the positive masculinity section of vol iii, rational male, but decided to only read these kind of books when, I benefit and does not affect me spiritually. This is how I have come to the conclusion that the only way to properly disconnect from toxic ideas and people are just simply to have a better idea/concept then them (Will), not rely on the typical feel good tactics everyone throws around (Tolerance/Ignorance, avoiding pain/chasing pleasure).
Before stack, was doing “Raikov” on some ancient cultures, in attempt to cultivate their mindset, which inspired my choice of Legacy (Main Ultima) and Commander (Stack Ultima).
My impression is ST1 will not allow you to do anything that is “Bad” even if it is productive, and I feel like I have a whole “Lot” to do and research in regards to building my own illusion, and creating truth from it. Starting to understand how good writers construct their theories, metaphysically.
Just read through a really good psychology book, (alchemist allowed me the luxury) Was really motivated to deep dive each chapter and research the source material. This is the first time I though about doing something like this, I usually want to read each book after another, (skimming is bad). I want to see if this book can be my “bible” of sorts, the thing I think of when I imagine fundamental religious practitioners.
Plans for next ST1 session, determine If I will stay with Legacy/Commander and continue this trajectory, or transition into hermetic study (mainly mythology, not philosophy), and see which ultima/sub combination to supplement this. The theory revolves around proper spiritual progress for a “Warrior (Mars)” is through hermetics (Mercury), where the typical shadow warrior revolves/degenerates around or towards “Death/Destruction (Ares)” (Hades), pushing a false cause/idea.
