Today is the 7th day of washing outā¦and man, I could use a boost in the energy department.
A loop of Primal would feel good right about now.
But, Iāve had Alchemist and Quantum Limitless on my mind for a couple days, so weāll see what happens after the drops tonight. Something in my stack may have to change.
A Stark Black Reality has entered the stackā¦
Ran a loop of ASBR before bed last night to get a feel for the āweightā of it, and got a strong nudge to stop the loop around the 11 minute mark. Different areas of my head felt ālit upā at different points of the loop, then it started to feel like a lot.
Iām glad I ran it before bed because I didnāt stop at 11 minutes.
Dreams were interesting, and the last conversation I remember having was about working with superconductors ā an area I know next to nothing about.
Got up and immediately drank some raw eggs and milk to fuel upā¦normally I donāt feel an urge to eat first thing, so Iām guessing my brain mustāve been hard at work last night.
Weāll see how today plays out, so far so good.
Comfort and dependence are the real killers of dreamsā¦
Yesterday was for recalibrationā¦
I had an impulse to only eat raw food, so I did. I didnāt die.
I started a Telegram group for a thing Iām doing and sent out a couple messages. No one has signed up yet. I didnāt die.
Not dying is fairly easy. Most people do it everyday.
After running a full loop of ASBR two days ago, I finally feel ānormalā again. Less sense of processing in my head, and my overall energy feels balanced again. This sub is a beast.
First impression is itās going to take a bit longer to recalibrate some of my patterns with ASBR than it did with Emperor, which makes sense as I have a natural ādo my own thingā bent.
Emperor fit me like a glove.
A Stark Black Reality so far feels like being invited to a secret selection meeting where I donāt know whoās who, vaguely comprehend how high the stakes are, and have to be on top of my game.
And yet, thereās a complete sense of āI got thisā and trust in my ability to perform while also learning on the fly, even with all eyes watching and analyzing, looking for an opening.
Thereās a different sense of power with this one.
This resonates so much with me, but running Stark after having so much development with Emperor will make me a much more Dynamic person.
I also think this sub will work well with Emperor: the will to power.
Had the same thought todayā¦time to reread the sales page
@RVconsultant would you please change this journalās title to: Empire Virtuoso - Making a Positive Difference
Have been thinking a lot about names, naming things, and the power of the intent behind themā¦
Some business gurus say the name doesnāt matter, and a couple of the biggest companies in the world changed their names, so itās not like theyāre written in stone, but like weāve witnessed the evolution of the product names here, thereās something far more powerful communicated from the name A Stark Black Reality instead of simply Stark Black.
Anyway, I decided on a name for the membership association Iām creating, finally. It only took about a week and some change. And it may change in the future, but Iām satisfied with it now and for the near future.
On another note, I decided to run Limitless Executive instead of New Primal for this cycle.
Why?
Because I was using New Primal to balance Emperor and inject more fun and charisma into my business dealings and daily life, but I already have a sense that continuing to develop that charisma wonāt be difficult with ASBR alone.
Plus, I think having Limitless Executive and Mindās Eye alongside ASBR will supercharge its creativity and cognitive enhancement scripting. Along with helping me get shit done.
Iām already feeling the āgo juiceā from the combo of ASBR and LE this morning, and I only slept 4.5 hours last night ā felt it even before I had a cup of tea.
Letās gooooooooo
āYou see what you expect to seeā¦ā
Leaving this here as a future reading reminder, and because I was considering how I would ābe seenā in a certain context when this popped up for me.
Basically, people were made to look āscarredā through the use of make-up and told to go into an interview to see if they were discriminated against, but before going into the interview their āscarsā were removed without their knowing they were removed, so the interviewers had no āphysical disfigurementā to discriminate againstā¦
The result: significant numbers reported high amounts of discrimination and cited behaviors, certain phrases, and other specifics to back their perceptions.
And this just lends to why journaling, taking action, and expecting to see positive results is so powerful in adopting a major change in identityā¦itās to help you āsee yourselfā in a new way.
I was concerned that ASBR might be ātoo farā from my baseline nature, especially in terms of the fame aspect, but I see how I can change that perception much faster and possibly how others with higher flow factor do itā¦
ā¦itās the same way I (and probably most) did things as a kid: just ACCEPT IT, and āplayā it out.
Todayās feeling more fun already.
Random running thoughts:
On a medium intensity run just now, I thought about the aspects of conservation of energy and managing output so as to be able to face any harder obstacles that pop up along the wayā¦
There are times when itās appropriate to āempty the tankā in training, and there may be a time when you may be tested to your fullest extent, a test thatāll take you far beyond anything youāve ever experienced or could think ofā¦
(Nerd stuff incoming)
And thatās when my Mind served up the scene of Gandalf facing the Balrog of Morgothā¦
He didnāt know if he could win. Heād never faced that great of a test up to that point. Yet, he fought him until he āthrew down [the] enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountain side.ā
Cool, so what?
Well, the nerdy symbolism for me is multilayered, but the first was that Gandalf represents wisdom ā the wisdom that comes from knowledge and experience ā and the Balrog represents the shadow ā the unknown parts of ourselves found in the depths of our being, places most donāt and will never go ā and the battle represents the struggle that occurs when faced with what arises from the dark depths of yourself.
Wisdom doesnāt come out unscathed. Your current form of wisdom dies. Parts of who you thought you were, die. Just like Gandalf died alongside the Balrog he smoteā¦
And a new iteration of āyouā is born, with greater wisdom, knowledge, experience, and ability. A new version of you that is prepared for even greater tests, should they arise.
I feel this way with some of the things I intend to do, they seem so far beyond my current level, but Iāll face whatever pops up along the wayā¦and smote its ruin upon the mountainside.
I think ASBR + ME + LE is about to crank my imagination level over 9000. I feel great today.
An interesting ASBR ātestā showed up this week that I didnāt realize was a test, until I considered why I wasnāt jumping on boardā¦
Recently Iāve been focused on putting together licensing deals, and itās been slow going between outreach and needing to vet potential partners and negotiationsā¦plus, Iām new to this style of the business game so Iām striking out way more than hitting home runs. In fact, I havenāt hit one yet, but Iāve gotten on base.
So what ASBR ātestā arose for me this week?
One of building my own list, so outreach can be one email to many potential partners and not so time consuming as 1-to-1 outreach.
Itās a no-brainer, right?
Nope.
Not for this brain, lol. At least, it wasnāt a few days agoā¦
Anyway, the point of this post is to mark a few shifts in identity I just noticed and itās 100% influenced by A Stark Black Reality:
Reality is starting to feel a bit more malleable in a way thatās much different than it felt running New Emperor.
Sleep deprived today, and did not bounce back. Still ran mini-loops though, after which I had to take a nap.
Day wasnāt a complete wash, but no where near productive.
Time to get a hard workout in even though all I want to do is nothingā¦because I just started a 30-day program yesterday and I canāt not do it.
Iād say the two mini-loops of LE are already bearing fruit, plus whatever magic is in ASBR for resilience.
Here we goā¦
Had some interesting dreams last night with people from the past I havenāt seen or talked to in a long timeā¦
In one dream, it seemed like we were in a grand hall of sorts and Iād learned about an old friendās dad being in trouble, so I walked calmly passed my friend and his brothers and up to what seemed to be a judge sitting in an elevated position behind a large, white, cyclidrical, ornate desk. I didnāt argue, I simply opened a dialogue and asked what could be done about his situation. Then discussion touched on the nature of man and influence, and I seemed to win some favor with the judge. Afterwards, I was told what the claim was against him and briefly flashed some āevidenceā in the form of some kind of receipt with a time stamp. I wasnāt sure what to make of it and asked to look at the evidence one more time. The judge didnāt seem to want to reveal it againā¦and I woke up.
Another day starting off with not enough sleep, but it doesnāt feel as bad as yesterday. Iām going to dial up the calories today and see if that helps.
Another round of shorter sleep, but I feel good. Strong. Healthy.
It might have something to do with my body becoming fat-adapted as Iāve cut carbs down to the minimum: raw honey, fresh squeezed lemon, and maybe another citrus fruit.
The drive to workout this week was high. Yesterday, I spontaneously decided that Iām going to grow my pull-up capacity in tandem with the program Iām following.
Iām able to visualize the fitness and business results I want a lot clearer, and feel āpulledā towards them more strongly this weekā¦though my productivity was down due to sleep dep.
I think ASBR is expressing right now primarily in getting me prepared for the spotlight. Not that I canāt stand in it now, but Iāll feel even more comfortable when I recompose my body a bitā¦so the drive to workout and train is high.
Limitless Executive and Mindās Eye alongside ASBR seem to be integrating smoothly. I havenāt experienced any recon in the mix so far. Iām looking forward to what those subs could do after theyāve been upgraded.
So, Mindās Eye results so far:
One example was yesterday when my girl was getting out of the car, I noticed / felt / saw the potential for the drinks to fall out of the drink carrier she had in hand. I said, āBe careful the drinks donāt fall. It looks kinda flimsy, and that would suck.ā
Not even 5 seconds later, the drinks were on the ground. But somehow my drink landed without spilling?
So, my intuition was correct, but my interpretation of it was wrongā¦
The carrier didnāt break. Sheād knocked the drink carrier out of her hand while closing the car door.
What Iād seen in my mindās eye were the drinks spilled on the ground, and immediately my intellect kicked in to interpret that wisdom and logicād that the carrier would be the failure point.
Nope.
I wondered afterwards if anything wouldāve happened if I wouldnāt have said anythingā¦or if Iād spoken to a postive-outcome? I donāt even know what that would sound like, lolā¦but I think thereās something to it, so Iāll be watching my words.
What ended up happening was that she felt extra embarrassed because Iād ācalled itā.
Anyway, it seems like the signals of intuitive nudges are coming through more often and cleaner. Thereāve been other things, but this example is basically the same overall deal.
I never āfound the timeā to put towards visualization practice before, but Iām more inclined now.
