Bujin - Call of the Wild

For me, definitely Limitless. Stark seems to bring out more of the social side of me. Combining them in a custom felt like a good idea. But I build it just before CWON arrived, so I’ve only done a couple of loops. :man_shrugging: Soon though.

The last few days feel like something changed, but I don’t really know what. The emotional stability is new, sure. But this is something else. Like I’ve changed in some way, but I can’t quite put my finger on how. There’s also some inner turmoil below the solid emotional control, it’s noticeable but feels distant.

My busy week after the holiday weekend limited my time outside during the week, but I’m expecting perfect weather this weekend so will make the most of it.

Fine, no real recon, but it felt a bit unnecessary.

I was playing with my cats earlier, and there was undeniably a deeper connection there. As they looked at me, I could feel their absolute trust and love for me. That sense of connection was almost physical in its intensity.

And when I look at my property - the trees rustling in the breeze and casting dappled shadows, the prolific undergrowth attesting to the richness of the soil, the pond with a layer of green duckweed hiding countless aquatic creatures, the mamma ducks with their ducklings paddling away at high speed whenever I’m near, the squirrels chasing each other through the trees in a line 4 or 5 deep, even the cloud of gigantic insects swarming around the pond - I feel a sense of joy and gratitude for what I have. I’m surrounded by vibrant life, and I can feel my love for it slowly deepening as I watch.

But there’s also an odd sadness I can feel quivering deep down. I don’t know what it is, I can just feel the edges of it, but it’s there.

This has come up multiple times. Is this new since you ran CWON? It could be that you have so much stability, you’re suppressing less because you dont need to suppress emotions anymore. Then again, it could be nature and the realization of all its aspects, both great and terrible. It’s hard to love the world so much and realize even the most beautiful flowers will wither and die.

I havent journaled on it yet, but today I felt a happiness that was so profound that it made me sad and I shed a few tears for the fact that I hadnt felt that happy and free in so long. The idea that i didnt have the emotional freedom I have now actually made me grieve for the pain of my past self.

Do you think any if those could be why you’re sad?

Perhaps it’s new, or perhaps I’m only noticing it now. I feel that some emotional barriers have lifted, so it may simply be these emotions are just now coming into my conscious experience.

You know, I don’t think I really care about the ‘why’ anymore. There are countless layers of logic and explanation I could wrap around these emotions, but I don’t want to. I’d rather just experience what is.

Full disclosure, I felt a spike of irritation when I read that. I’m sitting here experiencing everything around me at an emotional level, but as soon as I read that it started to pull me straight back into my head by demanding that I analyze what I’m feeling.

So no, I won’t do that. It’s not really what you wrote, I just don’t want to go there right now.

I don’t think I can describe just how happy I am right now. I’m sitting here doing nothing, surrounded by greenery, and feeling completely at peace.

What would you stack CWON with most?

Sage Immortal should be pretty amazing as a stack, especially if you have interests in shamanism. druidism or other nature-based spiritual practices.

Another curious observation, I’ve dropped 4 lbs in weight in the week since I started listening to CWON, roughly half a pound a day, with no change in diet.

I’ve been on keto for 6 months and in that time dropped 20 lbs, so this extra 4 lb drop in a week is unusual. Plus, I had a minor cheat day on Friday so I was out of ketosis for a couple of days there anyway.

But I’m only 10 lbs from my ideal weight now so this little boost is welcome.

How man how this resonates. I’m exactly the same. IT pays well and made a lot of things happen for me but it’s so meaningless on a grand scale.

Definitely the subs asking for more there.

I wouldn’t miss it. These days I much prefer to make things with my hands than do anything on a computer.

Yes, which is why I’ve been considering stacking CWON with my Stark/Limitless custom next cycle, I’m hoping it’ll help me make some progress away from this career towards something new that I actually care about. But I honestly have no clue how well CWON would work with a wealth sub, they just feel so different. It could be a recipe for major recon.

Stacking with Sage Immortal for a spiritual focus, or Survival Instinct for a self-sufficiency/survivalist focus would be much more interesting to me, honestly. But maybe stacking with something to refocus my income towards what I’ve been most passionate about for years now (i.e. nature, environment) could be more important.

You can also stack with RICH which is about manifesting money as well as opening pathways to manifestation.

Which could open money streams in a different way.

Plus it’s a very positive sub with the „can’t hate.“

I just recalled a conversation with the shaman who mentored me - she once told me computers disconnect you from nature by creating an addictive, alternate world that exists only in the mind. That feels more relevant to me now.

I’ve never really run RICH, it’s admittedly a bit silly but the description puts me off every time.

“Fast cars. Lavish houses. Record breaking businesses. Jetsetting to exotic, lush landscapes. Beautiful romantic partners. Complete and total financial independence. Sheer extravagance and opulence.”

“With R.I.C.H, you will feel as if your whole bloodstream was injected with the pure essence of money”

“You will also experience a raging, burning desire rising deep within you to break all your wealth limits. A desire that will push you to become someone who cannot be touched. An incredible pull towards wealth that will make you grind every second of the day until those who doubted you have learned of what you are truly capable of.”

etc.

I know the subs are very much consciously guided, but that description is the complete opposite of who I am and what I’m interested in, so it puts me off every time I read it.

To be fair the other wealth subs do the same to some extent, but at least with Stark there’s a focus on innovation instead of just money.

That is also a perfect description for porn that makes so many addicted (and me in the past aswell )

I feel you man. I sit in front of this all day for hours. It doesn’t feel right anymore but it pays well.

I was gonna say all wealth subs are technically too focused on the shallow physical.

But be honest unless you live on a mountain in Tibet you need money. It’s a tool.

More money also means you can potentially help more ppl.

Plus ever since ZP it really depends on you how a sub unfolds. But again let your gut feeling guide you.

Yep. But I have enough money, I don’t need more. I just need a new direction.

However, I don’t care in the least about helping people. The environment, animals etc - yes.

Edit: I just want to point out I’m not against generating wealth, I just don’t want it to become my primary focus. If all I wanted was wealth I would stay in my current career - the finance industry pays exceptionally well. Money isn’t the problem. Lack of purpose and meaning in my career is.

I wasn’t gonna say anything, but it kinda feels like you’re projecting a bit here?
