Geoff's Journal - Closing The Gap

Making me think I should do a second cycle of Ascension lol

Thurs, tracking

Tired, more than usual
Strong apathy and disinterest
Spaced out and disconnected
Unproductive at work

Today was just off, woke up 1.5 hrs before I needed to be up. Physically tired and mentally checked out. My productivity at work was unimpressive, I moved slow today too. Reached out to old employer to see if any jobs were 1st shift, the lady responded that after getting input from supervisor and ppl who trained me that the consensus was that I’d be better off at a company with routine and standardized work. Lol…nicest way to say that no one wanted me to come back. It irritated me for an hour or two but now it’s whatever. Job searching isn’t going well and I feel resigned to my current reality. I’m trying to shift my focus towards acceptance and making the best of things.

Looking forward to neurofeedback tomorrow, I feel like today’s struggle is reminiscent of earlier sessions when my frequency was too low. Last friday we did a dramatic change and dropped frequency to ground zero and I guess today I’m experiencing that fully.

All I can say is I’m fully dissatisfied with my current situation, not seeing any way out of it but knowing this will all pass sooner or later. I could use some positive vibes today

When was your last washout?

Probably 4 weeks ago when I started 1 loop a week. 6 days of processing.

Fri, tracking

Today was a long day, long week really. Coworker came over to me today and said he’s heard numerous times from the higher ups that I’m a ā€œhell of a good workerā€ and very productive and he just thought I should know.

Neurofeedback went ok, frequency increased a little bit along with only training 3 sites instead of 4. Quite tired today.

Wasted a few hours on someone who showed me how little I’m seen by them. Long way to go however I’m becoming non reactive and frankly indifferent to it now. Just need better boundaries. I have the boundary module but I’ve yet to recognize its expression externally so far.

I’m starting to recognize that the agony I feel towards my job might not be the job itself, rather just me. The discomfort and disconnect I’m dealing with has me feeling irrational all week. I’m realizing that even if I do find another job, I’ll still feeling how I feel and therefore I’m just going to chill out and give myself time.

Going to drop Sunday’s loops to 12 mins.

Which module?

The Boundary

Sat, tracking

Up at 5:30am, forced myself to run. Not that motivated, struggled with pace and stinkin thinkin but I finished the run. I woke up with a lot of self critical thinking today, maybe I was processing some stuff in sleep and it’s carried over.

Still thinking about how I essentially gave my Friday night to another last night, I guess The Boundary is expressing itself, as upset/anger internally over me not having a boundary last night. Now I only seem to need to speak up on these things. I’m not sure why I have so much trouble with this. I try to treat others in the way I want to be treated and give grace but it’s rarely reciprocated yet I continue giving pieces of myself, time, energy, support etc all to my own detriment of course. This issue is probably the root of my self criticism today.

I have yet to experience that LBH ā€œblissā€ I see posted about. Is the lack of having/maintaining boundaries a serious sign of low self love? It seems to be the case. Fearful Avoidant attachment style is terrible with boundaries and I can fully see that in me. It makes sense why I get so much reconciliation with LBH and this custom. I figured it was LotS causing much of it for some reason but there’s definitely deep roots this custom is hitting.

I’ll add to this throughout the day if needed

This is a tough one and something I relate to. Is there anything you’re trying to avoid happening or prevent by engaging in this behavior?

Probably trying to avoid disappointing the other. Avoiding abandonment is possible. Also seeking connection/attachment and disregarding myself/needs/wants for the facade of connection.

Like Gabor Mate always says, we sacrifice authenticity for attachment. I sacrifice my ā€œselfā€ in order to pursue an illusion of sorts. Somehow I need to do the opposite, sacrifice attachment with usury disguised as people for the sake of authenticity.

It’s definitely tough changing the direction of those lifetime habits. Especially when you get caught in the moment.

I felt convicted this afternoon over hiding something between myself and another. I decided to come clean and repent knowing it probably would not end well. And sure enough I just lost that relationship. Ultimately I did the right thing after doing wrong and I’m happy about that. I feel sad about the loss even though weeks to months ago I was praying to find detachment from this person and here I am, prayer answered. It wasn’t healthy and honestly unrighteous but I couldn’t walk away.

I feel Iron Frame has helped me today along with the rest of the custom. To have both feet in the metaphorical fire :fire: and stand solely in my guilt with full acceptance without wavering emotionally and fully taking the negative energy waves crashing into me without any change in me was impressive. Call of Honor definitely played it’s part as well. This whole thing feels like I’ve leveled up in honor, dignity and integrity. Honestly it’s as if I’ve regained something that I had lost.

Somehow I feel more at peace than unease and I’m grateful. It’s as if the chains I had on me are gone. I choose to live in Truth, and in Truth you find Freedom.

Amen :pray:

1 Loop LBH - 12 mins

1 Loop Custom - 12 mins

Woke up with the sniffles and a headache. Listening to the subs has increased my headache slightly. Weather is changing, cooler temperatures always affect me at first.

Curious to see if 12 minute loops still result in a 3 day recon trip like 15. I’ll probably continue reducing exposure by 3 mins every sunday until I notice a possible sweet spot.

Not feeling too great this morning but I’m hopeful that by this afternoon my demeanor and physical state improves. There is a heaviness today, maybe yesterday’s situation is reconciling deeper today. It always takes time to dissolve attachment, regardless of the type of connection. I guess internally I’m mourning that connection loss, on the surface it’s okay but underneath I feel the weight. All in good time.

Idk if it’s just my mood but thoughts about changing my subs has been on my mind. Circumstances change and you just lose the reason/drive for running what you chose. Not even sure I know what I want to run, kinda just want to run LBH itself, solo. Maximize it since I don’t feel it the way I’m seeing others describe their experiences. Could be just too much information but even with 6 days of processing it’s not obvious. I’m probably just rock bottom on LBH objectives and I need time. I get the feeling that since my brain is not yet optimally regulated with neurofeedback, that input from subs or anything really is at a reduced efficiency/capacity. I can only imagine once we find my optimal level that everything just clicks and I level up in a sudden, beautiful way.

I ended up catching a cold from yesterday. Called out of work today. I’ve had a headache since sunday and difficult to analyze reconciliation today considering I feel like shit generally.

I realize today that this month I’ve let go or had things removed from my life. I’m realizing there really isn’t much I want from this world. It’s as if I’m being cleaned in a way, hard to explain. The amount of disinterest I feel is absurd. While others are trying to make it big or get girls or build empires, I’m looking to walk away.

I think about Ascension, Emperor, Khan, Wanted etc, and there’s this doubt, this big question of why. Does any of this really matter outside of the world. I think I’ve misplaced my why for running my custom. Is this recon or evolution. I know I haven’t fully assimilated it as the reconciliation is consistent. Maybe it’s the recon itself that wants me to stop, exactly why I haven’t. I’m just at a loss for the big picture, what am I trying to achieve. It all feels so vain, such a strong urge to walk away from life, whatever that actually means.

Maybe having a cold has gotten me to pause and reflect on what I’m doing. For what, it’s the thought that comes everytime I think about something. Everytime I want to take action. This, why attached to every idea or plan I come up with. Is this bad or good.

Idk, maybe I just don’t feel good so my filter is negative. I’ll try again tomorrow.

I ran a 3 min loop of Paragon. I know it’s my rest day but I’m not responding to cold meds and my headache just won’t stop.

Paragon stopped my headache, was still a challenging day at work. Felt a lot of frustration today again, mostly towards my job, idk why it’s so aggravating to me. Moderate tension too.

I can see clashing beliefs playing out, like a tug of war going on in my mind. As much of a struggle as it’s been, I do feel stronger in some ways. More apt to tolerate and just do regardless of the internal chaos.

Khronos Key is so helpful with my job, it knows how much I don’t want to be there and my shifts just seem to go by faster than usual. Stronger + Temperance really have helped kill all impulsive behavior and empower my self control.

This stack is just pushing, but it pisses me off cuz I don’t where it’s pushing me.

Today hit harder, not if my cold reduced enough to let the recon shine or what.

Neighbor texted me this morning asking for a favor, I never responded because 3 days ago I asked if he wanted 2 steaks I had because I’m sick and didn’t want them going to waste, he never responded. So he texts me a half hour ago asking if I’m still sick and that he needs a favor. So I tell him to ask the other 2 neighbors around us cuz I’m not with it today. :unamused: one sided selfishness, maybe Manipulus showed me and says enough.

I felt some small guilt but nothing like before. I don’t mind helping ppl but to be blown off then ask for a big favor just isn’t right. I should have done it but I didn’t. Still reconciling the dichotomy of it all.

I’m unsure about this custom, it’s helping but I’m tempted to redo it, cutting some stuff but doing so when everything’s getting upgraded seems unwise. Today felt borderline overexposed as far as how I’m feeling but I can’t say for sure, could just be facing some shit. Still tired of my work, getting moved to the complicated shit next week and I just want to quit. Is this from too much listening? Since I ā€œshouldā€ be having big confidence but instead I’m stuck in IDGAF mode. Getting railed in child support, $683 a month, almost 350 a paycheck. I’m not happy, LBH is spinning its wheels it feels like, I’m unhelpful to neighbors and neutral at work. So will things change or am I just flooding myself with too much. :thinking:

What are my goals, I should take stock of what I want, what’s improved, what’s left etc. This’ll give me better clarity

Full of frustration, clashing beliefs, questioning. Speeding home again, between 90 to 100mph at times, impatient while feeling indifferent towards my actions. My shifts at work can only be described as agonizing and boring. Everyday I want to quit but I can’t tell if it’s me or the job. Will the angst go away if I find another job? Today I realized it’s probably me, my internal world is on :fire:, burning shit down.

Ppl seem to gravitate to me, make comments to me, offer help in conversation. Was at the meat market after work, I helped out this guy who seemed confused, he let me go ahead of him, another lady helped me find the apples I was looking for. Ppl just seem to be overly attuned to me as if they are waiting for a reason to engage me or assist.

It’s funny because in this recon, I seem to be doing the opposite of the subs highlights. I feel unfriendly and stand offish, less productive, avoidant with things at home. I just veg out when I get home as if my minds saying, fuck off I need a vacation.

Challenging week, everyday I think about stopping this stack. Probably going to skip this coming loop on sunday, add to the washout/processing days.

Have you tried extern affirmations to shift your mind in a positive direction conciously?

I have not, what if any are good examples?

I’ve tried psyching myself up and/or talking myself through rough moments. I’m glad Glm is in this custom, some moments of inner frustration want to boil over into a physical manifestion (outburst, physical reaction, irrational actions, etc) but I’m able to exercise restraint.
