I agree the hardwares of Chinese phones seem advanced but have reservation about those semi malwares/spywares. I used to be an android guy; flashing roms and kernels to get a slim down software body as well as customization. Shame on brands these days locking bootloaders. XDA is not what it used to be lol
Having said that I am thinking to go back to it. In fact I am eyeing Samsung as my next phone👀
That’s a good point.
For me, I very much dislike the ads and spam apps on these Chinese phones. Dad has a MI phone and the ads on those piss me off even during the very little time I have to help him with that phone.
Oh that’s really cool! I haven’t done much hacking on my android phones but used to try it on older Nokia phones with the Symbian OS.
Was pretty happy with android. Even liked Samsunv Touch Wiz even though most people dislike it.
One UI is what I really like about Samsung and what keeps me with this brand. I always find something lacking in other OS’ and skins.
If money was no issue right now, I would go for the Samsung Fold 7. Although to be frank I would wait for the 8 just in case it is better pr you wanted to purchase the Fold 7 with slashed prices by then.
The Samsung Ultra isn’t as exciting as before but still reliable. A safer bet compared to the fold in terms of maintaining it and not having to worry (too much) about breaking the screen and repair costs of foldables.
That was part of the reason to root a phone so that adaway could be installed in system level and had a clean rom where spamwares would be uninstalled or removed in the first place.
You can look into dns servers like NextDNS or ControlD (both have free tiers available and I am using it) to block server ads and trackers. But there is a chance certain functions might be blocked or widgets not working since those spam wares in Chinese phones are fully integrated with the os.
Yes Ultra is the one I am looking at. Honestly the costs of foldables are too out of the range and I would baby it to death to the point I wouldn’t dare using it outside of my bed lol
God willing I get my eyes back, I will do all this stuff. In my current situation doing such things is difficult.
Good choice!
The Pixel 10 Pro XL is great as well. Clean softwares and Gemini. But not a big fan of its chipset.
Have faith brother. I truly believe you are going to have them back good. There are ways from installing to wearing new tech gadgets. And there are the traditional medicines and exercises. You’ve got it 
Thank you brother.
3m Hero1Earth with The Inner Spa.
Before each listening session and my short morning meditation, I reaffirm my intention - to release all traumas, weights, and trapped emotions from both my body and psyche, so that I may be light and renewed.
Hero 1 Earth is about mastering a craft. The craft I am cultivating is learning and applying very simple techniques and exercises for relieving anxiety and stress.
Slowly I came to realize that there is no time like the present to address my traumas. I used to think that after event X or incident Y was dealt with successfully, I’d finally be able to move on and feel free. Yet there will always come external circumstances or inner struggles, if we allow them to dictate when we can finally relax, that moment will never arrive.
I can tell my nervous system and by extension emotions safely releasing as flashes of the past rise and fade. Also cursing myself a little more than before (compared to when I say listened to EOG1) but unlike how it used to be (compared to say the early days at SubClub), those curses are gentler and make no dent.
Physically I am becoming aware of more pain and misalignment. This is progress as surely those issues have always been present but I was too numb or I was suppressing them so deeply I didn’t notice.
4m Hero1Earth, took two rest day, 30s on the fourth day.
Continuing with my morning exercise routine.
H1E revealed that my posture was consistently misaligned and tense, my breathing patterns irregular, and that I was clinging to dissociation as a way to endure daily life.
Looking back, there were times when I experienced severe neck and shoulder pain that seemed to appear out of nowhere. My muscles would lock so tightly that I couldn’t move my neck or shoulders. Now, with H1E, I realized those episodes didn’t happen suddenly; they had always been there. My mind had simply grown accustomed to the tension and treated it as normal until everything reached a breaking point.
These days, my body is far more sensitive to misalignment. Postures I used to hold for hours now last no more than thirty minutes before discomfort or slight pain makes me aware of the imbalance.
My sleep quality has never been great. Yet recently, I’ve been waking up acutely aware of my breathing, or the lack of it. At times it feels as though I don’t know how to breathe; one moment I take a deep breath accompanied by chest pain, the next I’m gasping in short, shallow bursts.
I need to relearn how to breathe properly and consciously, following the guidance and rhythms from instructional videos.
Since my goal is relieving or better yet eliminating anxiety, tensions, panics etc. from my physical body and emotional psyche, mindfulness is bound to be a daily practice/reminder.
I am still affected by external circumstances. Those things can be as simple as receiving and replying an email with an issue I don’t want to deal with or hearing from relatives some less than happy updates.
Still I remind myself to stay committed to my current path, focusing on my practice and refusing to be distracted or led astray by outside influences. One step at a time.
As Jesus says “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
*Anxiety and overthinking is a habit, which can be broken.
*You are addicted to thinking because thinking gives you illusion of control.
*A undisciplined mind love dramas.
*Emotion is energy is motion; it becomes permanent when you trap it with thinking.
*Attention is your most valuable currency; wherever it goes, your life goes.
*When the mind is noisy, do something physical.
*You are not a story. You are awareness. You a presence.
*Every time you lost in you head, return to anchors - Breath, sound, body sensation, sound etc.
*A person who cannot control their mind is easy to manipulate.
*Peace comes when you accept reality and train your response.
*The reason you are living in your head is because you are avoiding responsibility.
*Action can reveal your true level; thinking can hide you.
*Living in your head destroys you; you will create entire movies about people.
*Confidence is something you build by keeping promises to yourself and by speaking with integrity inside your own mind.
*Direction is stronger than motivation. Direction brings you back to reality.
*Do not chase permanent silence; chase skill.
Started the second cycle (using the 21-day schedule with 5 rest days) after 5 rest days.
5mins of HERO1Earth with the Inner Spa.
Slight recon in insomnia. Yet even with little sleep, I feel quite awake and not overly tired.
Compared to other subs I’ve used, H1E runs quite smoothly. I’m not sure whether that’s due to anti-recon scripting or simply because the physical aspect has never really been a kryptonite for me - not because I’m particularly healthy, strong, or good-looking, but rather because I really don’t place much importance on it; my mind tends to focus on more pressing concerns.
From my perspective, physical subs are also less clear-cut than, say, wealth subs. To me, wealth subs often manifest in a very binary way (money either arrives or it doesn’t), so my mind was always consciously or subconsciously scanning for signs of wealth. With physical subs, however, I have no expectations; I simply let them unfold naturally.
Today out of nowhere I really clicked/resonated with this picture (courtesy of @dreamingheroes )
All my life, I’ve had this blind spot: I kept waiting for the “right” moment, the “right” conditions, or the “right” mood before making change. For instance, in the picture, if it were me, I’d think, if only I could afford a piano, then I’d practice every day and make the most of it. Or if only I moved out and had my own apartment, then I could finally take charge of my life and be free.
But life doesn’t really work that way. If, like the guy in the picture, I only take action when circumstances feel “good enough,” I’ll never achieve anything - because I’d never ever even begin in the first place. We all have got to start somewhere.
H1E has made me realize that instead of waiting passively or letting external factors and other people dictate my path, I can take the lead myself. I now get vividly that I am able to actively shaping circumstances and I am capable of influencing others positively. No need to wait I have what it takes to be a trailblazer and be the role model for my family 
🧗♂ 
1m30s HERO1Earth. Gonna take three rest days.
Over the past cycle, and continuing into this one, I’ve found that the rhythm of one longer loop, followed by a rest day, then one shorter loop, and two to three rest days, and repeating, works quite well overall.
After exploring and experimenting with a variety of simple exercises, I’ve identified a few sets that resonate with my body. These will remain my staples for the foreseeable future.
H1E has been awakening me to value small, straightforward practices and applications as well as releasing the impatience in me to rush into more complex matters. I am enjoyIng building a foundation at my own relaxing pace.
Trusting more deeply in “As Within So Without” in the sense that the more lucid my inner world are (through elementary but constructive physical practices), the more harmonious the outer affairs will be. It doesn’t even have to be understood solely through spiritual lens. It can be explained just as well psychologically and physiologically.
Perhaps this is H1E inviting me to embrace myself fully, or maybe it is a calling from something higher. Either way, I’ve been feeling a gentle nudge to use my full name in customs.
I’ve come across several posts here from members who forgo their first or legal names in favor of middle names or nicknames, both in customs and daily life. Somehow, some reported that although their first or legal names carried negative connotations, using those names in customs made the customs feel more powerful and fruitful.
Like them, my first name carries memories of being reprimanded by family and authority figures, and of being diminished by those around me. I legally dropped it years ago, hoping to let go the pain and memories and refocus on a new self.
Yet, for the reasons mentioned above, I find myself wondering whether I should embrace my full name again (not legally, since there’s no point in constantly changing official documents), but in a sacred way, such as in customs and prayers.
1m30s HERO1Earth.
Have been playing around with the new lab interactive combination guide. It suggests stacks and custom ideas I would never have considered, yet under its description they suddenly make sense in a new light.
Was struck by how desensitized I am towards obstruction or inconvenience. I guess it is indeed true that one aspect of oneself crosses over/diffuses to another seemingly unrelated aspect. Growing up I was used to things not working or having to make do with arrangements. I learned to tolerate issues so thoroughly that my mind stopped registering the inconvenience or absurdity they caused in daily life.
Sometimes people pointed out an issue and I couldn’t see why and how they were isolating the issue in the first place. As in sometimes a part of me did recognize the abnormality, but at the same time another part completely failed to raise alarm. I wouldn’t know exactly what was worth pointing out and what not.
A family-run store I’ve visited for over a decade is closing down. It feels worth noting as a reminder that ‘it was here”.
5m15s HERO1Earth
Due to a dumb misunderstanding with a relative, I missed what felt like an important moment. Frustration and irritation were boiling inside me even though I was aware the whole thing was no one’s fault, it really was just a very dumb miscommunication. Yet those energies/emotions spiraled into a resentment/regret loop inside me - I kept missing and feeling the loss of the moment.
What made it worse was it was H1E listening session afterward. Unsurprisingly the session didn’t go well since I quite literally brought all those emotions into the session.
I vented in my private journal. My mind practically reverted back to a child’s mind; the writing really wasn’t sophisticated.
When all that happened I did try to be mindful, e.g. reminding myself it’s not the end of the world, that this was a small set back or a trial, asking maybe there was a deeper underlying reason my emotions were overblown etc., using the breathing exercises I have been practicing, moving around to release the energies. But my mind insisted on mourning the missed moment and reminding me how everything had been aligned for it, and how the sub listening session following would have been great, enjoyable and potent; yet all was wasted and lost meaninglessly.
Anyway as I calmed down gradually, guided by H1E, I looked up therapeutic explanations and solutions to my emotions and reactions. Now on top of the physical exercises and mindfulness/meditation/prayer sessions, emotional and mental regulation skill set are added.
Once the episode passed, my inner voice joked that H1E with the Inner Spa was doing a lot of heavy lifting on its own (since it is the only title I rely on). Unlike users training for martial arts where the sub focus is solely on physical conditioning, or users running a two or three sub stack where each sub handles a different user’s aspect. H1E with the Inner Spa is like Alfred Pennyworth handling and multitasking across all fronts 24/7 lol
The subliminal was indeed made for this moment. The moment of missing this event. In that way, it prepared you for any event. Being included in the event or being excluded out of the event. Or in any event that could have happened.
Back to the missed event, it was a nice moment to utilise Earth to ground you. So that no matter the circumstance, you learn to be the Mighty Mountain of Earth.
You’ve always had a way with words 
It’s like I was missing the forest for the trees and the quote above reminded and reassured me what is important.
Second cycle completed, now in the washout period.
Depending on the upcoming sub updates, the third cycle will either be H1E solo or a second sub will be added. My preference is an updated KB1…we will see.
Lately, I’ve been sleeping late and averaging around six hours a night. Part of me feels/knows that’s not enough, yet I’ve been surprisingly energetic each day.
30s of Ascension1 and RICH. I am gonna use the micro loop + 30 listening days schedule for them.
This cycle actually began with 7m HERO1Earth. I listened to it right before the announcement of the then upcoming new Ascension.
I’m focusing solely on Ascension1 and RICH this cycle. It seems to me that there are overlapping objectives and features between Ascension1 and Earth. Additionally, both Ascension and RICH include their own approaches to nervous system regulation, which should be sufficient to replace the Inner Spa.
One thing I’ve noticed about HERO1Earth (and subs in general) is that it requires deliberate conscious effort to apply beyond its intended scope. Take Earth for example, it’s designed around the physical body. When it comes to actions involving physicality e.g. exercise or movement, it excels. However, when addressing mental or emotional aspects, like reframing negative thoughts or rewiring reactions, its impact feels less seamless. It still helps, but it works best via or through physical aspect. Just like using Stark/SB (which emphasizes cognitive enhancement) for writing, or Limitless (which includes spatial and kinesthetic enhancement) for sports.
