Geoff's Journal - Reflections of a Hero

Ran a 3 min loop of Paragon Sleep. Seems to inspire a slight sleepy feeling while listening but its only 4pm so thats not good.

Im holding out hope for better sleep but but honestly if this works, it would’ve worked by now or does this require time to build up or something.

As far as this week goes, Ive had a low level positivity with fair engagement towards work. Compared to last week after using both Love Bombs, this week feels very low key in comparison but doing okay.

I like listening to my stack once a week, its been very manageable, recon hits 36 hours after loops and by day 3 I feel smooth which since I listen Fri, by the time Mon arrives I am pretty close to recon free and it doesnt interfere with work. Its been a big difference compared to nightshift. Its been much easier to separate feeling bad and performing regardless since the change. I can feel one way emotionally yet continue on with whatever.

I was super set on getting customs made but for reason I sitting on that move. Taking much more time to think it all over which im surprised by. I have a plan in mind yet im in consideration mode dont seem to care about my own timeline. Hero must be working well, lots of Mastery, discipline and taking my time which I love. I used to be so impulsive and reactive.

How do differentiate between nervous attraction and indifference/disinterest in a girl.

At work theres this petite lil’ thing and sometimes we cross paths but dont work near each other. She’s cute and young but because of all the attention the guys at my company give, most females feel like thier queens.

I don’t acknowledge her because why bother however every single time we cross paths she never looks at me and sometimes I catch her looking away in multiples. Meaning its as if shes chaotically looking for something else to look at and she’ll look straight, or up and to the left or the floor in sequence vs just just staring straight ahead.

I always took it as she found me creepy, uninterested or something like that and just continued on giving nothing. But my trainer pointed out today that she could be doing that because shes interested.

Personally it matters not to me, thier all a waste of time and im more interested in killing lust & desire within me but Id be lying lying if I said I was not curious about which it is. Mostly because of Rom and my philosophical thinking into situations and people.

This whole post is stupid and meaningless but hey Journaling helps empty the mind of pent up bullshit so here it is.

Personally I dont think ill ever engage her, I have no urge to.

Aside from her, we had a meeting today for everyone and Im really starting to notice looks. Ive had a few people tell me how much better I look since getting off nights but I see women looking at me, I think its whatever aura Im giving off. I remember Saint talking about Hero’s aura and I think he said Rom/Ros had no aura scripting. So I guess I have a this locked in, masterful, righteous aura that provides a feeling of safety and strength, could be attractive and intimidating? Though no females ever say anything but thats not shocking.

Ever since I added Ardent Light to my Reflections custom, no fap got a lot easier. Im not really doing retention or no fap intentionally, its just happening as a result of cultivating honorable behavior and pursuing righteousness. Maybe Im radiating masculine energy from retaining + Hero Aura and its just overwhelming to them? Meh who knows and who really cares right. Women dont really have anything I want.

I used to look at females and want to donate dick when I young with low self esteem, now I see women and cant find one worth giving anything let alone my dick.

Im probably just damaged beyond repair, or bitter or maybe I just know better.

How do you really know if you’re becoming a better person. I like to believe I am but after writing these posts tonight, I kind of feel like Ive become a jackass.

From Rom -

“Music will no longer just move your body. Those same notes that made you nod your head will now stir something deep within your spirit, and you’ll understand it all.”

And Ros -

“The Revelation of Mind imbues music with a novel and distinct quality, allowing you to appreciate and comprehend your favorite composition on an intellectual and mental level. The Revelation of Spirit takes this further. A lovely piano melody can elicit an intense sensation of energetic rapture, surging from the deepest levels of your being that you never before knew existed. The experience transcends the intellect and charges headfirst into the realm of the mystical.”

At first I fell back into Chillstep, then Trance from 90s to early 2000’s and now Im listening to a 90s Playlist of everything. I havent listened to music for years. I still dont really pursue it but seem to put it on when im at idle and wanting to just chill and think.

I miss the 90s. The authenticity and connection in culture. You watch a music video from the 90s, everyone’s together, engaged ect. Now look at us…

Anyways, listening to all these old songs just hits different. Emotionally as well as my perception of things in the music/lyrics. I definitely feel the energy in the music now, the senses improvement in Rom definitely comes out.

Rom & Ros just turn everything up a notch, like changing a TV’s picture setting from standard to vivid. Tasting colors and feeling sounds :slight_smile:

Woke up at 3:08am, hmmm thats around 7 hours. Im feeling a lagging tiredness and some frustration. Could be the result of finally hitting some rem sleep and processing happened.

I dont have any sense that I was dreaming but this state im in at the moment feels like intolerance and impatience, weird way to wake up. Makes me wonder if its residual emotions from dreaming or if im devolving as a human.

Not bad for my 2nd loop of Paragon Sleep.

From Ros -

“Prepare to experience a profound rejuvenation just by basking in the nourishing warmth of the sun or indulging in a nutritious, high-energy meal. You might even sense the energy coursing through your body, recognizing areas where it flows smoothly and areas where it’s obstructed. This awareness can help you discern how to unblock the barriers and restore the flow of energy. In addition, we’ve incorporated safe and gradual energetic development scripting, which can furnish you with a wealth of physical and mental energy to augment every facet of your life.”

I havent experienced this yet, its one part of Ros that eludes me. But then I read last part and see connections as I wake up each day with what seems like an increased inner throttle, ready to go type of energy. I cant seem to decipher if its mental or physical energy. Can you be emotionally energetic with normal or below average physical and mental energy?

Feeling brain fog daily makes me doubt having high mental energy and not sleeping well also causes doubts in my physical energy yet each day theres an inner enthusiastic energy ready to go. Is this “Inner Blaze” at work?

Its 5:30am, sitting in parking lot waiting to head into work. I feel physically tired, my head still feels sleepy somewhat yet inside I feel this ball of energy ready to go be great. Its a fascinating state. Could be many reasons, maybe the point is not to figure out why but just be grateful and use it for good.

Ive felt irritated since I woke up this morning, it’s never faded. At work I couldn’t do much at all due to access issues. The whole day just refused to cooperate. I wonder if its recon. You’d think sleeping more would yield a better day. Anyways, no need to complain, just documenting.

We had a catered lunch today work as a thank you from the company. I saw that girl in line for food (I was already sitting down and eating) I caught her looking peripherally, she wont directly look at me though. I left the lunchroom before she finished fixing a plate. I think I enjoy trying to read her but it stops there.

You can really tell when the Love Bomb scripting wears off. I listened to Jim Rohn today to try and reframe my mindset and it didnt feel as impactful as the week I had Love Bomb, I was very enthusiastic then. If you respond strongly to a sub, is that a sign you need to use it? Idk, I just miss feeling like a motivated ball of sunshine and love.

“At the heart of RoS lies the goal of fostering a profound sense of self-awareness and insight into the self.”

The main theme of self understanding over the cycles ive listened seems to be mindset and inner programming errors. My mindset is a big issue. After LB’S its like my old mindset came right back. Its disturbing.

As a man thinketh, so he is. All the subs and time ive put in and I look at myself and wonder whats actually changed. I cant even tell what I am right now.

Between the frustration is sense of hitting the wall. Expectations I had of this stack and the goals I had dont seem be whats happening. I also have no idea what im looking for now, before changing shifts and work my lifestyle seemed simple and I had an understanding of the path I was walking on. Now everything’s just scattered.

I feel like I moved farther away from center. Change is never comfortable whether positive or negative but im wondering if ive gone the wrong way since im getting this feeling that im past the target, whatever that means.

It all starts with thought…if the thoughts are bad, reality will ultimately end up bad. Mindset is the place I need to focus on. I get the feeling Ros is driving the point home over and over.

Listened to Love Bomb and Love Bomb for Humanity at 15 mins each. Im tired of feeling so low since friday. Hoping to wake up tomorrow feeling much better.

I listened to the LB’S last night to escape from recon I think. I got up today feeling heavy minded, brain fog - more than usual. I dont feel as frustrated though but thats as far as I can for changes.

I wanted to quit this stack really bad this weekend. I guess increasing loops by 2 minutes this cycle wasnt smart. I went from not really feeling much at 5 mins to recon bomb. Im not sure its all sub related though. Im considering a break from subs purely because of struggle with circadian adjustment. Im essentially already taxed with poor sleep and learning a new job and then im throwing artisan and dense subs on top of an already taxed mind and body. I dont have enough clarity to really come to a beneficial conclusion though.

Idk if its the subs or lifestyle change but a lot of my intentions seemed to have changed or disappeared and im not sure anymore where (what path) i want to go. Ive drifted from the Bible since changing shifts but even before switching to days I was moving off center. It bothers me. Im not blaming the subs, only myself but im kind of resenting my stack for that outcome. With hero I really just want the Virtue and righteousness development and sometimes I feel like im taking on 100% just to get the 25% im after. I also thought Rom & Ros would be different and help intensify what things I was/am after but so far I feel more like im drifting than locked in.

About a week or so ago I was ready to order a hero custom and keep pushing, then I became frustrated and pessimistic again. Im supposed to listen to one more loop of my stack on friday but maybe I should just washout and end cycle 6.

End of Cycle 6

“A final note on what distinguishes HERO Origins from the Chosen series: HERO Origins offers a more flexible path to heroism. Unlike the Chosen series, which focuses on developing charisma and leadership, HERO Origins centers exclusively on your own development. The journey it offers is highly individualistic, placing strong emphasis on physical prowess while also nurturing your inner life. Whether you opt to supplement it with our other offerings is entirely up to you. But rest assured, HERO Origins offers a unique experience, dedicated to sculpting both your inner and outer self into a hero.”

I was skimming through Hero looking to see how many objectives Ive experienced. Looking at the list, I couldn’t see one objective I consciously noticed expressing in my life. That doesnt none have, rather im unaware of it.

I do think Hero has been the reason I feel strongly about being thorough, accurate and complete with my job. I dont shortcut anything and seem to feel strongly about. I also think my job is my craft in relation to Hero, there is an overt sense of dedication at work. Im eager and focused on my tasks, invested if you will. Even with tiredness and brain fog, I keep trying even if im glitching or confused.

Besides that, I havent seen much else but am grateful for what is expressing. Hero is one hell of a transformative title, ive barely scratched the surface. I just think im overwhelmed and need sleep for processing. By starting washout today, I have 2 weeks until Feb. I think itll help.

As far as Rom & Ros, Ive seen more objectives accomplished with Rom than the others and of course Ros has no objectives but I recognize things in the sales page that ive experienced. Im not sure what the goal is anymore. I think it was to explore self and the modules I added to custom were to intensify and support my pursuit of Spirituality and Truth, Im not sure its taking me that direction. If I do stick with this stack going forward, I should slim down this custom to under 10 modules.

I wonder if its Ros that has me feeling so disturbed/unsettled from an inner identity stand point. If ive lost my footing/foundation so to speak, wouldnt that support moving off center from what I originally intended. If my sense of self is in limbo then it would make sense that I fell off with the Bible and focusing on that knowledge.

The recent pursuit of music, while pleasing in the moment bothers me. It feels to me, that Im being drawn back into the world/worldliness which feels wrong. I started feeling like listening to all the 90s stuff was questionable and if it was really okay to do. In the context of “Friendship with the world is enmity with God” and being cautious about falling back into things Ive been set apart from. Music is a form of expression but also influence and maybe its my custom but I tend to pay more attention to the msg in the songs and also wonder why some songs affect me over others. Since binging on music, I noticed mood dropped, negative memories flowed in and I started thinking negatively.

Theres just things I dont like about how Im feeling on this stack. I wish I could isolate and identify what the issues are and where there coming from. Growth is always challenging and can be unpleasant in its reconciliation with faulty ideology but where is the understanding when it comes to knowing if this trajectory is correct for one or not. Is the desire to stop coming from logic or irrational thinking based on faulty beliefs seeking self preservation. Why did negative thinking just come back, what am I really doing. Looking for excuses to avoid growth and sabotage progress? Or am I coming to a legitimate conclusion that I am struggling in life and need a break while seeing a lack of overt results and the increasing distance between things I value and what im actually doing.

I feel guilt when I think about quitting stack. I feel resentment when contemplating continuing on. Super unhelpful dichotomy.

Lost power at work today, got to leave early. Pretty foggy in head the last two days. Last night I got my results for that mold test I mentioned back in December. Turns out I have high levels of ochratoxin A (ota), so if you look at mental effects of said mycotoxin it states brain fog, memory issues, poor ability to learn along with sleep issues and other stuff. Apparently ive been living in a mold exposed house for over 10 years and I guess its in the walls since I saw no overt signs.

I spent the past 4 hours researching air purifiers and bought a solid one for $700 to try and clean the air at least since I have zero ability to move or tear apart my walls. Between circadian rhythm readjustment and now mold, I understand why I feel like im living in a cloud everyday. Add recon from subs, stress from work and no wonder im not seeing awesome sub results nor inspiring changes.

Hero definitely helps keep me calm and moving forward in spite of everything. I noticed driving in the bad weather that Ive been much more able to remain patient, compassionate towards others and even find myself praying for strength, guidance ect. Im a lot more composed but it could also be from how detached I feel everyday from brain fog.

Im proud of myself for making everything work even though I have pretty significant challenges to deal with. My first review at work is coming up in Feb and all I can think about is how to get through it without failing even though its difficult to think clearly and correctly everyday. But the cool part is that even though im stressed and a little depressed over my situation, I just keep going. That must be from Hero. Building a strong character seems to be all I really want in life. I’ll keep doing the best I can with what I have and maybe one day there will be an opportunity to get clear of my current challenges.

Ive been about 2 weeks into that Myonozzle water bottle and I definitely feel like my tongue and palate have become stronger, my tongue holds its correct position much easier now and even though I dont sleep 8hrs still, im getting closer to 5hrs consistently and tossing and turning is still happening but im not moving around as intensely now. Hard to tell what is doing what but these changes started when I started using the Myonozzle.

“Because here’s something else that’s weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship—be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles—is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.

Its been about a week since washout, I cant say brain fog, memory or focus is any better. I have noticed though that my style of communication has changed. Theres much less apprehension, restraint or fear and I seem to be more matter of fact and direct when I express myself. Conversations at work have been interesting from the viewpoint of my expression. I kind of like it.

The resilience in Hero is subtle, not inspiring like Emperor but a calm flow. When bad news hits or an obstacle in life appears, you just acknowledge it and move through it. Its nice, I hardly notice it action.

I re made my Reflections custom for the 3rd time now, I cut it down to both cores + 6 modules, totaling an 8 pc custom.

I also ordered an 18 pc Hero/Glm custom. After months of drafting, support tickets and self inventory - I think I put together exactly what will help give me what I want and develop into the ideal man.

I really need to pace myself sub wise with my current struggles health/brain wise. Its easy to get overwhelmed and ive been really trying to work on my mindset. Complaining, whether internally or out loud is a big issue for me. Its too easy for me to get discouraged and just let the Complaining start, I dislike it so much. Im confident the Hero/Glm custom will help a lot over time while I cultivate increased vigilance towards my mindset.

Im really enjoying the aura lately too, theres look of reverance and respect in ppl when they interact or even notice me. Sometimes I get a double take from women. Ive also been more quiet this week and I think thats invoking a sense of reserved mystery in me. Its been nice, feeling detached yet strong. I was shopping after work today and noticed I was walking tall, caught myself pulling my shoulders back to open chest as I walked. I even locked eyes with a women in an aisle and carried on but held the look and felt no unease or urger to avert my gaze. The interesting part was later on I was in a different aisle looking at a product and saw her walking right past me, I barely noticed and didnt look up but got the feeling she had gone and looked for me and was hoping for that presence from me again.

Still on washout till 2/1. I havent noticed the Love Bombs loops this week compared to 2 weeks ago. Im either backed up subliminal input wise or it just didnt hit the same. Ive been much more mood stable/neutral this past week then before.

I finally got my air purifier today, been running for 2 hours now, feels a lot better now.

Bought a device to track o2 saturation and pulse rate. The last two nights I tracked sleep and it looks highly likely that I have apnea. Its just one thing after another.

I can tell Hero has been keeping me solid. With all these newly discovered issues lately I have been very much just going with it. No emotional turbulence, no depression. The worst thing is probably feeling annoyed about it all. I find myself reframing into gratitude, concluding that its great Im learning what the issues are and that I now have the opportunity to take actions on these things and change my life.

Ive been hibernating on 3rd shift for 10 years, ignoring mold issues, sleep apnea and my overall health. Ive changed a lot in the past 3 to 4 months and wasnt really seeing it. If I can just moderate my sub use and not over burden myself, I’ll keep growing.

Work is going well. I notice that im really into consistently keeping pace and staying busy. I no longer do what most do, which is delay/avoid work, waste time or talk time away with others. I feel averse to coworkers who slack off but instead of feeling upset or judgemental, I just feel the desire to separate or detach from that mindset so as not to be influenced by them. Im starting to feel that sense of being honorable in my actions. I hear in my mind “a fair days pay for a fair days work” and I seem to just go after it each day. Im still struggling with sleep, fatigue and brain fog but still trying relentlessly to push forward because its whats needed of me.

Im starting to think ahead again, not necessarily making plans but just maybe preparing better and trying to mitigate future issues by taking the correct actions now. (Sounds like wisdom scripting)

I like where all this is going and while im trying to deal with misfortune, my mind seems to stay looking forward and not letting negativity get me down.

Washout went well, I passed my 30 day review at work. Having the air purifier has helped a lot, some small improvements in adjusting to days has happened. Im working on myofacial therapy exercises to help correct sleep apnea, screw cpaps. I just find myself taking action to fix problems, no longer outsourcing my mind to the external and waiting on things outside myself.

All I seem to care about these days is becoming better. I want Christ to see himself in me through everlasting purification and sanctification. There is no better role model.

I slimmed down Reflections a lot to lower the density and also focus on just what was important without any fluff. Things are decent, I cant complain.

Man, GD&T is difficult. Im on phase two of my 3 phase training and idk if its the subject matter or recon from my loops but my brain has had enough.

Ive been feeling inadequate, discouraged and super quiet(getting humbled by gd&t) and even though these states are coming up, I still seem to feel detached and less affected, as if the intensity of said states has been turned down. Might be too early to say its Inner Voice or Winner Overdrive but whatever it is, its helping me to continue even though I feel in all honesty incompetent this week.

I was never good at math, barely passed high school algebra yet my jobs have all been math centered. I wonder why I seem to choose things outside my natural skill set.

The mastery scripting in Hero I can tell really guides me in determination and dedication to what im learning. Im very much invested in the process. Super helpful.

Recon symptoms have been moderate/high which after slimming down my Revelations custom is surprising, I thought itd be less ‘rough’. Im going to have to reduce loop time again, I cant afford the cloudy, slow mindset right now.

Between the recon and health/environment struggles lately, im honestly amazed at my progress. Its frustrating not being able to fully solve the issues and operate at a normal level. I feel like im having to do everything others do but at a disadvantage daily but when is life fair.

Today’s going much better, I guess 48 hrs of recon from 6 mins of Reflections.

Starting to grasp some things and im getting to the point of visualizing planes and the characteristics of features related to each datum plane thats been probed.

I can feel the positivity compounding whenever I feel ive achieved some understanding or successfully took the correct action. Im definitely feeling this sense of continuation, moving forward in spite of whatever emotion shows up, whether positive or negative. I can celebrate the wins and acknowledge the losses but still move forward without any interference. Thats a pretty big deal for me. I guess thats resilience? Either way, its serving me well. Emotional turbulence was a challenge all my life and now, finally im seeing what life looks like without Emotional chaos wrecking daily tasks.

I think Ros facilitates within me an increased flow of awareness and its quite apparent that Im not equipped well enough to handle it. I get these moments of lucid clarity but without understanding, no real ability to grasp onto the experience and decipher/utilize it. I just kind of marvel at the feelings of awe.

Im not sure what I can to improve my mental filter. It honestly feels like the things Ros elicits are beyond me and the majority of what I receive out of its use is recon.
Growing up I was always hyper aware of the external due to trauma, disorganized attachment style and hypervigilance. So I could pay extreme attention to anything and everything to the extent of dysfunction. Then I sought out neurofeedback therapy and the hypervigilance faded and I started to experience and get stuck in dissociation. Lately and currently brain fog has been the main theme of my daily life. All of these different states have and continue to interfere with my awareness, specifically ‘self’ awareness.

Even when Ros helps unearth something about me, I feel as though I dont or cant see it. Ever get the feeling you’re wearing blinders and can only see straight ahead, so you continue on your timeline, the slow march towards death but never having the opportunity to audit yourself? Thats the frustration I struggle with, I struggle seeing myself. In behavior, thoughts and actions and the ability to audit or observe myself. I think its why real, deep change is so slow to happen.

I wonder what mechanism or trigger is keeping me so fixated on things outside myself. Self-sabotage, fear, traumatic experiences, mediocrity and laziness? All valid reasons why someone would unconsciously block thier own view of themselves. My head gets tired and achey whenever I try to actively pay attention to myself and that weirds me out, like something is over riding me.

Ive been feeling really quiet this week, internally. A shift in ego, a dismissal of self. A retraction but not out of weakness, insecurity or fear rather just a letting go in physical presence, falling back to a more comfortable or efficient position. Has a Glm vibe to it but I only listened to 30 seconds of an 2 core + 16 module custom, im not sure i even got any glm scripting to be honest.

I wonder when the awareness will start working for me in the ways Id actually notice and benefit. Im not sure if Ive ever experienced clarity in my whole life. Ive just gone from one extreme to the other and I just wish things(my mind) would work. The more I try to ‘fix’ myself, the farther away I get. When you dont feel right, all you really want is to feel right and nothing else really matters that much. Ros among other titles really seems to point out to me how not right I am but again its a feeling, not so much a glaring awareness of of interpretable and tangible data from myself and its observation. Maybe I just get the messages from intuition instead of mental conclusions.
