The longer I run Dragon Reborn the more it’s incredibly difficult to be shitty or rude to anyone. Not that I was actively in the past but I’m quite sure because of my immaturity I had some less than helpful and toxic behaviors. It’s an ongoing process to be less toxic and hopefully help make things easier and simplify things for myself and others. Anything else is just a waste of time and energy

@James i see the dragon within you emerging . A man who does not have to prove himself to anyone. A man who opens up and is not afraid of being his true self. This is your greatest strenght to walk the path without fear.

Often now I feel my biggest regrets are not thinking things through more and not planning better. So much of my life was lived for immediate gratification. Not considering how a decision or choice would impact me long or short term. Allowing any feeling of FOMO to create unnecessary drama and chaos in my life. Quite literally forcing myself to be extroverted for reasons I am still trying to understand.
I don’t know really. With Dragon Reborn I have hit just crazy levels of self reflection

I feel like the longer I work on my own issues the less concerned I am with what anyone else is doing. Meaning I’m less inclined to feel like I’m missing out on something.

I feel I am starting to if not gone from having FOMO or fear of missing out to FOGO fear of going out. Not so much a fear as little desire.

JCAST reminds me of the character Max Klein from the movie Fearless.
James is a new man i see profound changes in him.

Maybe you’ve been struck by ‘JOMO’ joy of missing out

If not I’m going to get there. It’s a weird feeling sometimes. I remember being in my early twenties and this was at least a decade and a half before social media and all of that but I find myself missing that a lot. Not feeling emotionally obligated to anything. Just doing what needed to be done. I wasn’t like that or I wouldn’t be where I am right now but I knew people that were

Made a change in my loops and subs and I slept all night last night for the first time in I don’t know how long. I am currently running a single loop each of Dragon Reborn St 1 , Ascension, and Godlike Masculinity Ultima. I haven’t felt this good or chill in ever.

This definitely explains not only why I am so focused on running primarily Dragon Reborn and why a lot of my past was the way it went

So true… You are doing the right thing @James, we have to help our inner child to grow up. Some never do!

Realized this morning I’m not angry anymore. Such a relief. It’s so draining. I don’t know if it’s from Dragon Reborn, the music I listen to, or a combination of both. It’s an amazing feeling

Mate, that’s so awesome. That anger really is a power leech!
Keep it up

@James what’s your current listening plan and roadmap for DR? Such as when you’ll be listening to all 4 stages.

Taking today and the weekend off then starting Stage 2 Monday. I feel like I have hit the point of diminishing returns with Stage 1 for now. As @Sub.Zero stated in a recent post Dragon Reborn is the sub I would pick if I only had the choice of one to run my entire life so I’m sure I will revisit Stage 1 at some point down the road

How about doing a washout and going back to Stage 1? That feeling may be temporary only. On the other hand, you ran St1 for a longer time in the past.
The best we can do is to consider our current situation and our current self, try to envision our desired outcomes and design our desired self to whom attaining those outcomes should come naturally and almost effortlessly (of course taking action is included). Then pick a sub upon its usefulness in helping us becoming our desired self. These are the missing links of Mental Alchemy for many of us. There’s one more link I’m working on that I mentioned a couple of times in the past. The story of our life we keep telling ourselves. I’m tackling it now working on my Alchemical Formula.

It depends on when you took it for the last time. If it was more than six months ago, a 3-4 week washout would be great. If it was less than three months ago a 2 week washout would be enough. Washouts help us gauge when we are on our path, apart from helping integrate the scripts, of course.
@Azriel’s recent experiences could bring more value to our discussion, please.

@James Another approach would be to start St2 to heal what you have already uncovered with St1. Like if you think of a shopping cart at the supermarket, first you roam the shop filling your cart with groceries(St1), then you go to the cashier to pay for what you bought(St2).
And later you will get hungry again and you go back to the grocery store to pick up more groceries and then you pay for them, rinse and repeat. Going to the store starving all the time can be exhausting. Just a thought.
