@praisetheurdtree I wanted to get off that gyys thread. Kinda negative.
I ran eog1 for 9 months, never ran stage 2.
But I ran it after about a year of ascended Mogul, and then during my eog run and after my eog run, I ran HOM for another year, which I was never able to run before EOG1.
The logic was simple. If eog1 was financial healing, it would make all financial subs more effective, so instead of upgrading to EOG2 I upgraded to HOM and that worked for me
Saw Ryan Holiday speak today, got VIP, and asked him about the link between Buddhism and stoicism. He said that they reach the same goal using different methods. Buddhists meditate, stoics journal. Inspiring.
Feel ya. Also, good to know. I like the progression steps.
Just about to finish up my 21 day cycle. here is what the listening schedule has looked like.
I’m thinking of taking a break from EmpD. It’s been amazing. I’ve transformed my inner world through much deeper self understanding, and I’ve transformed my external appearance through changing my fashion and appearance. I haven’t gone “suit and tie timeless” with my wardrobe. But everything is enhanced. I’ve studied fashion for the first time and learned what “basic fashion for normal men” is. I now get a few compliments on being fashionable despite wearing simple stuff - it just fits me well and i wear it proudly. This has even felt like a bit of a physical shifting sub… it’s not directly shifting, but i’ve gained an interest in mewing and doing the dental/chiropractic work necessary to fix my posture. And I went to the gym (instead of a sport/martial art) for the first time in at least 6 months. Great sub overall for changing my “external” world.
Personally, internally, in regards to my career… I’ve gained a LOT of insights. I feel like the career introspection and re-evaluation of my life goals has done it’s job and I need to take action on that now. I know where I want to go, and I need to connections and drive maxxed out to get there.
Adding in true social because I have a lot of social events coming up.
On a deeper level, I know that if I really want to maximize any alpha (sales) subs that I run, I need to address beliefs around everyday social interactions. Small talk, chit chat, connecting with strangers, etc.
I’ve got programming from years of getting bullied in high school and thinking it was because I was weird, too loud, too wild, too socially uncalibrated.
I learned how to be a conversationalist, but not how to feel like talking to strangers is natural and effortless… only how to impress the person while still kind of feeling like I’m trying, on the inside.
This doesn’t happen with people I like, or already know, or people who seem really engaged in the conversation, but it hits hard when i’m supposed to talk to strangers and stuff like that.
@Niles is like a freaking mirror to me. Didn’t know that we both also had 2 years of university and were going to complete our bachelor’s. Seems like him and I are always running the same title at the same time for almost the same reasons lol. Sometimes I even take 2-month long forum breaks, and when I come back, me and Niles have switched to running the exact same subliminal.
Right now, though, I think him and I are both in similar places in our careers, and got similar lessons from running EmpD.
Now he’s running Khan, and it made me think, damn I need Khan too. That’ll be a plan for the near future.
This element of Khan is wild. Coming off of loosing the most promising job/role that I’ve had, I have never been less fearful and more confident in my life. Social shaking is existent.
Focusing on just Khan/Limitless for the time being, and it’s been an awesome stack.
I have been focusing intensely in offline Journaling. Specifically, Journaling my thoughts and motivations as if I will one day be studied by swarms of biographers like Walter Isaacson, and so, am trying to share as much as my inner world as possible to be studied and written about after my death.
Charles darwin was 29 when he started his “Little Diary” and I am 29 now that I’m starting mine.
People in my life have been incredibly receptive to me suggesting subliminals and helping them use them effectively. This is new, only after I started running empd, perhaps because I am more caring and supportive, whereas in the past I was using more cocky energy
I had a call with a girl I used to coach. Haven’t seen her or talked to her in over a year. She reflected back to me many of the changes she sees in me that my closest friends see. I’ve become deeper in character. More purpose driven. Calmer. Less shallow. More congruent, and in a way, more powerful. Some of that I’d empd but I’ve been getting those comments for a while. It is more about shifting from, caring about money, to caring about impact and helping others.
I realized today that when I focus on helping others first, the money always comes, but when I get too laser focused on how to monetize coaching, I lose the income, the joy, and the effectiveness. Going 2ith the flow and following my urge to impact others has always led me to financial freedom even though I never intended it to.
I’m owning that one problem I have with my relationship is that getting married now means I’ll never be 30 and get to seriously date a 21 year old. Shallow, but it’s a shadow belief that rules some of my fears
Ams overall, I feel like I’m coming into a new chapter in life. This last summer was an interlude chapter. Lots of learning and growth. No results or progress,p. It wasn’t a happy chapter or one I’m proud of. But I feel the excite,ent and confidence that it set the stage for a big transformation
Next Listening Day November 30th
Somewhere along the way I realized I need to express and notice as much gratitude as possible. Call it a Chosen/EmpD blend? Seriously, I always knew to 'feel" grateful but expressing it too much to me was seen as “overly positive” as if there’s such a thing.
Some wins:
Chosen/IC: randomly manifesting People offering to help me with exactly what i need help with, when i need help with it. today I just showed up to the library hoping to learn some podcasting equipment, and in exchange for giving the guy using the machine 5 extra minutes to finish up, he said “if you can wait for a few minutes i can teach you how to use it, it took me almost an hour”
TWTP: Very mindful and realizing ways in which my eye contact has been off, both when talking to people and when walking the streets. Making the necessary adjustments.
Chosen: Having more fun than ever at family dinners, usually not an event I enjoy much, but, I’m laughing more, checking out less, and having fun.
Career in general getting more and more certain on what program I want to take and how I want to take it. 2-3 weeks ago, I knew what I wanted, but I had a lot of options that were diffuclt to choose between. Now, I could be signed up and committed for the course i have in mind in less than 6 months and a fully fledged counselor in less than 2 years. That’ll be the first time in my life where all my interests align and I get paid to do what I am obsesed with doing anyways - understanding people.
Passion: was having a lot of fun using a professional podcasting studio, it was so hard… until i got it, now it’s easy and excites me.
Dude Im so jealous he’s my favourite author ever
Bro I always saw you just doing that. You’re amazing with people naturally and it suits you leading and guiding.
The first 6 people to say this to me I thought “yeah I know” but after the 15th person I started thinking “wow this might be a better fit than I thought.”
Thanks.
Yup I think it’s pointing towards ur purpose somewhat. It’s up to you to find it
“Deep stretching that realeases tension in the body.”
Makes sense.
First of all, y’all see those studies about memory being stored in the body? This is like cutting edge, industry-shaking insights coming out this month.
New Study Reveals Where Memory Fragments are Stored | Newsroom | Weill Cornell Medicine
A few nights ago I listened to a 30s microloop, and then did a DEEP stretching session, and holy F it felt like I was right back on day 7 of my meditation retreat. I was overwhelmed with wave after wave of sexual shame and intense emotion. I had done the stretching before bed - normally that takes me 20 minutes and hten I pass out because i’m so tired, but this activated me, and i lay awake for almost 2 hours trying to not give into or suppress all the emotions I was feeling .
This journey is over.
