Are you listening to the full 15 minutes of these subs?
I’ve found less recon running EoG for 5-7 minutes.
Just wanted to throw that out there.

I’ve felt led to clear out old emails that I don’t need/want (talking stuff from 2012 forward haha).
I’m posting here since I think EoG is what’s pushing me on this right now. Clearing up the cobwebs of my life.
This is from an email I sent to a friend about Frank Bettger and how he amped up his earnings practically “overnight” (after a year of work haha):
He kept a record of every single sales call he made over a year’s time.
Total number of calls: 1,849
Interviews (presentations):828 people
Closed sales: 65
Commissions total: $4,251.82
Call Value: $2.30 per call ($4,251.82/1,849 calls)Anyway, after reviewing that info for the previous year, he noticed that 70% of his sales/income came from the first interview/presentation, 23% came from the 2nd interview, and the remaining 7% came from the 3rd (and higher) interviews…He was spending roughly half his time chasing that last 7%.
So he started focusing on just the 1st and 2nd interviews and not doing any followup for 3rd or higher interviews.
This alone raised the per-CALL value up to $4.27 per call…not interview…per call.
So before, every single call (phone, in-person, etc) he made was dropping $2.30 into his pocket, and after he cut out chasing after the 7%, each call he made dropped $4.27 into his pocket…whether they said yes or no!

Yeah, I don’t mess with times really. Recon is happening because I got stuff to fix.

I ended up digging out my copy of the 3rd edition of the Photoreading book.
Will be doing the “Direct Learning” process again. That’s where you PR “How To” books about a skill to pick up, and use the system to manifest those skills.
It’s the same basic process I used to “Install” Dr. Lecter in my head before. Warren Buffett too.
Not entire sure yet what skill I’ll attack first. Might just be tons of books on financial literacy, wealth acquistion/creation, wealth management. It’ll take a bit of time to get through them all. But get through them all, I shall.

That sounds interesting, I’d really appreciate if you could include the more useful books you find.

That’s a very interesting collection of books.

It’s to help me be more “well-rounded” by not neglecting my other fields of interest.
Might need to run Renaissance Man at some point

It must have been in the cards. You brought up Photoreading and I, not more that 15 minutes ago received an email from the company and I just ordered the Photoreading course. Wow! Mind blowing.

You’re tempting me to finally start trying to learn photoreading.

EoG3/EoG3/EoG3
I was kinda dreading running this one since the only real “action”* I can take right now is putting in job applications. Not sure how EoG will like that.
Over the past few days, I have had 4 or 5 recruiters contact me via email: “Boeing Needs You!” (I live in the Pacific Northwest
Been not doing much the past few days with job applications because EoG is showing me stuff about myself and it isn’t all pleasant, so been in the dumps a bit.
Today, I finally replied to each of these recruiters, telling them that job would be a minimum of 1.5-2 hours commute EACH WAY so I wouldn’t be pursuing that opportunity.
Felt good even doing just that.
I’ll be looking for work I can do from home, as it costs a lot way more to drive now than it did even a month ago.
Will update later in the day if any other results grab my awareness.
*EDIT: I could have been doing more with job applications the past week. But even that was making me miserable. I only realized over the past couple days gradually (and it finally gelled today) that putting in applications to find a job and bring in fresh money again… That IS taking action! Even if it isn’t taking action toward building a business/empire.

I would highly suggest the 1 page marketing plan. It is a way to break down a business into very clear actions and has no fluff.

Thank you for that. I do have that one I think. In my vast collection of unread things
I put in about 10 applications today. Less recon-y while doing that. Got a bit down energy- and mood-wise later in the day, but it subsided fairly quickly.
I’ve been thinking today about something I read about in 2009. Details are hazy (I haven’t bought QL yet lol). It was about a guy who had experience in direct marketing strategies, and he was looking for a job (I don’t think the job itself was related to marketing).
Instead of just sending out resumes and applications using the shotgun approach, he found 10 or 20 places he wouldn’t MIND working for. He studied the hell out of each one.
Ended up setting up very personalized marketing campaigns basically tailored to each company. I think he may have even used hyper-targeting with ads so they’d show up for the hiring managers of each of the places (that part is hazy).
The end result is all but 1 of the companies got back to him very quickly. He got a dream job.
It was all because he put in work up-front to save himself tons of grueling repetitive work in the form of unanswered applications.
This got me thinking…the guy took his skillset and used his skills to turn the job-hunting process on its head. Why can’t I do that?
So there I was pacing in my kitchen…recon is gone by this point, my mind is on overdrive.
One Problem: I really dislike all these recruiters who find my resume on the job board I use, and they just send shotgun emails that are totally and obviously not a match.
Based on my location and/or skill set they need.
Example, one just today: “Hi Palpatine! I’m (insert Rebel Scum name here lol)! I’m a recruiter, and I found your resume on the job board today. I’ve got an EXCITING security guard job you’d be PERFECT for. It’s in San Francisco. Let me know what you think!”
Of course, I’m in the Pacific Northwest. Not moving to California for a low-paying security guard position.
Solution: As I was pacing in the kitchen, it hit me. AHA!
- I’ll set up a filter in my email server so that any emails to the email address I use for job stuff, this is what will happen:
- If the person has emailed me before, or if it’s a reply to me from before, the email goes right to my inbox
- If this is the first time they’ve emailed me, they’ll get an auto-response from the script I’ll build. It will just be a canned "Hi! Thank you for your interest in me! This is an automatic response, so I can let you know what exactly I’m willing to look at career-wise. If I don’t fit what you’re looking for, no harm no foul. It saves us both a bunch of time.
- Then list out things like what kind of job types I’m interested in, minimum pay I can accept, where I’m located, how far I’m willing to drive, etc.
- Since a lot of recruiters will ask for a resume (even though they saw it already on the job board, it’ll be attached to the auto-reply!
Basically, this idea will keep me from seeing those who are just looking to meet whatever numbers/quota they have to meet, and the only ones that will land in my inbox are ones actually replying, interested in moving further.
I’d have to build a database of some sort based on emails sent in the past 30 days…by name and/or email address and/or subject line. So any given recruiter doesn’t get the auto-response email more than once per given opportunity.
I’d only track that for 30 days…so that previous onces can’t just shotgun me later on and slide into the inbox because the database saw they tried before.
I credit EoG with this, of course. It seems like the different stages are working together to help me start to see the light now.

Rest
3/24/2022
I am actually posting this on 3/25…Didn’t post anything yesterday for the rest day because I didn’t think to.
I’ve been moving my Empire Project off of AWS onto my “normal” web host, mainly because AWS runs me $30/month on average to host my project, have an Elastic IP, and so on.
Spent all of yesterday trying to get it to work on my web host. No dice yet. One disadvantage of shared web hosting is they have to keep other customers in mind, and enabling the one piece I need may not be in their best interests. I’ll find out, though.
I’m at the point where my brain is fed up with it, and is now trying to figure out some way I can generate $30/month passively just to keep the thing funded to be on AWS. It works perfectly there.

EoG3, EoG3, EoG4
Got both ST3s done, about halfway through ST4. My first ever run of EoG4 by itself. My only other exposure to ST4 is in my BILLionaire customs, but those also have at least ST1, too. And BV3 has all 4 stages.
So as I hit the halfway point, I feel sadness coming up. Sadness like I’m tired of life. Tired of being a loser, blah blah. Definite recon. Which is what I set up this test to determine. I could run EoG1 for a full year and never know if I’m “healed” enough.
But once I run the other stages, especially ST4, that shows me that I got work to do, since they’re hitting on stuff ST1 needs to clear out.*
Money permitting, I’d like to make 2 EoGZP customs. One would be ST1+ST2…healing and education/preparation all in one.
The other would be ST3 and ST4…Total action plus whatever ST4 brings. I know ST4 is all the previous stages (without healing if I recall correctly)…but the sales page makes it seem that ST4 also has extra stuff you won’t otherwise get from the previous stages.
2 EoG customs, run them together…at some point, I might not even NEED the Healing+Education/Preparation one anymore.
As I type this line, ST4 is just now ending. I don’t feel sad anymore. Journaling does help 
- EDIT: It could also be that ST3 (with the pure action focus) and ST4 (with what it has) are just trying to get me to take actions that ST2 hasn’t had enough time yet to prepare me for.

More about today’s run of EoG3, EoG3, EoG4
I’m finding myself remembering a comic strip I read one day as a kid
well, I ended up finding the few weeks around it.
Prince Valiant.
it was started in 1937 and is still going afaik lol.
the only ones I remember ever reading involved a villain named Alaric.
Alaric had immense power because he amassed tons of info about everyone he could find. Had a castle full of massive blackmail material…People basically would do anything he said because he owned them.
I realize now that’s why I liked the Magnussen ep of Sherlock so much. it’s the same thing
everyone knows that he owns everyone…but they all have their own reasons not to go against him.
Alaric was more direct about it. Magnussen was more subtle when need be.
He had some speech in the Sherlock ep about why he targeted Mary specifically
a chain of ownership type thing. Mycroft’s weakness is his brother Sherlock. Sherlock’s weakness is John Watson, Watson’s weakness is Mary
so if he owns Mary, he owns Mycroft.
that was his thinking, anyway. EoG got me thinking all about that stuff. can only imagine what PCC would do with EoG.
To quote a friend of mine: “If you can find the weak link in a chain, you control the chain”
QL would be great with that idea too
QL4, PCC, EoG4
interesting that EoG got me remembering about that. I remember being so enamored by that idea at the time.
power through blackmail
I guess I’m more “dark” and “evil” than I care to admit, and have been for LONGER than I care to admit.

Rest day
3/26/2022
Been keeping myself busy with trying to get Ubuntu working on an older desktop PC of mine. Keeping busy because if I don’t today, sadness/anger/apathy all keep vying for my attention.
Mainly about this bank situation. They will take your money out right away, no issue.
But you need it back because it didn’t go through on the merchant/business side, and you don’t have any other money right now?
“Well, we need to launch an investigation. Could be up to 20 days.” I have to assume they hold it that long to use it for float.
Nothing specific to report. Tomorrow will be ST3 1x and 2x of ST4.
2 more sub days before the end of this test!
Assuming I can run ST4 for a bit once I’m done resting/washing out, I’m considering running EoG ST4, Ascended Mogul, and R.I.C.H. with a weekly dose of Ascension Chamber.

EoG3, EoG4, EoG4
Strangely enough, not a lot to report from today. I was telling someone that when I ran DR4 stacked with Khan4 before, those felt smooth. No recon.
Now, I’m not sure if this is ST4s just being smooth to my brain. Or if it’s a case of stonewalling because the previous stages haven’t put in enough of a foundation or baseline of understanding for the ST4s to be able to work.
Next listen day is the last day of this, and it’s 3 loops of ST4. I’ll see how I do.
In terms of outside action, I’ve been installing Ubuntu stuff to the Empire Project PC, and reading on my Kindle in between. Nothing Earth-shattering happened today, though.

EoG4, EoG4, EoG4
Not a lot to report from a cognitive or “felt” sense.
On the “outside,” a friend showed me some stuff online which we think could be a business opportunity. It will require a fair bit of software muscle in the form of multiple scripts/apps in at least 2 different languages all talking to each other to make this work.
It just “showed up” in chat, where the friend has been looking at it a few hours at least before showing me…told me what my part would entail…and it seems like a challenge worthy of my intellect.
I’ll credit EoG4 with this even though I have zero idea how it works. woo.
