My custom is still on hold. My ticket still shows “new”. I guess they must be swamped.
Decided to break my SC fast today
That’s in progress right now.

Got libertine and LB done so far. Wife was faster in the store than I expected.
Hitting Emperor and AscMogul now.
Already feeling libertine and LB hit. Feeling a bit more spry. Not a lot. I wasn’t expecting the heavens to just shine down on me after a 31-day washout or anything.

I definitely felt all the subs from today’s stack taking hold throughout the day. Checking out women’s butts more. The past month, I’ve been thinking mostly about money, wealth and prosperity.
I felt a bit more “driven” today. Took some Uber orders I might not otherwise have taken, but also the other side of that is the ones today were on the “better” side. These subs seem to make better orders come up.
EDIT: Another money manifestation happened today I just remembered about. I have a friend who lives in a different country from me (I’m in the US).
Said friend had a weird situation occur today where he ended up buying an amazon gift code for himself for $5 but got it in the US Amazon Store.
So he couldn’t redeem it in his country. Gave me the code, basically just showed up for me out of the blue along with an explanation of what happened.

Woke up this morning to the wife wanting a quickie. Libertine/LoveBomb for the win.

Holy shit. Just watched the first 2 episodes of “Billions.”
Having seen clips on YouTube, I figured I’d be rooting for Axe the whole time. But Chuck has his qualities too.
Just saw the end of Ep2 and what Axe did to that one family. Whoa.

A few more eps in to “Billions”. Fascinating so far.
I’ve been undertaking a sort of “Raikov Effect” experiment, without any specific exemplars/models in mind. Mostly just training my mind to take the best parts of different people.
“Trying on” people’s mindsets and keeping what I like and adding it to my repertoire.
I’ve noticed as I watch the show that Bobby Axelrod is on his iPhone a LOT.
Part of what they set up with him character-wise is he seems able to predict market moves like nobody else can.
The guy takes in as much information as he can hold, from current events, news articles, company news, etc.
He’s always exposed to all this info and his pattern recognition and extrapolation is off the charts.
Back to the iPhone. It struck me that this guy is a billionaire hedge fund manager, and he doesn’t even have any kind of case on his phone!
At first, I was like “If I had THAT much money, I’d get a case for my phone. My time would be too valuable to waste even getting online to shop for or even just order a new phone or take my phone to fix the screen.”
Then my new mindset that I’m absorbing gently showed me that this is actually a symbolic thing for Bobby. (Not sure if the producers intended it this way or just coincidence)
The insight is this: The phone having no case just shows how much “in control” Bobby is. He is careful as hell with that phone. He doesn’t let it drop, fall, etc. He’s also very much in control of his life. He knows where all the pieces are on the board, he knows who he’s dealing with at all times.
And if he doesn’t know, he takes massive action to find the information. If something isn’t in his control, he does what needs to be done to make it so it is.
A lot of insight to glean from not having a phone case I guess.

Nice insight!
I tried beach head from winwenger once with a project renaissance trainer and had similar insights with putting on Einstein. Your post reminds me of it, have you tried it out?

No. I did the borrowed genius thing by Wenger years ago. He’s how I first learned of the Raikov Effect.
For years now, I’ve been kinda fascinated by Robert McKee. The guy behind the “Story” seminars.
I finally grabbed a copy of his book “Story” from the library to read.
The VERY first sentences of the very first paragraph in the introduction just hit me in a good way.
A rule says “You must do it this this way.” A principle says “This way works…and has through all remembered time.” The difference is crucial.
WOW

I know this is an old entry, but it caught my eye. Not even family members but people who perpetuate this follow common themes.
-
Their job’s drama consumes them. You’ll only ever hear them talk about what so and so did or how much the job sucks.
-
They escape into netflix, media, smarphone apps, all stuff that just serves as a placeholder to offset the crappy job.
-
They want YOU to also take shitty jobs because for god knows what reason they feel like you’re required to deal with the same miserable existence.
-
Unless they have a really strong backbone and don’t tolerate crap, they’re probably in an abusive relationship with their job.
So good on you for being picky. Picky means you’ve got options, you’ve got standards, and that you care about yourself. I’ll never understand how some people are encouraged to take any old job, especially if you know that job has a history of abusing its workers. True sometimes we don’t have a choice, but it should be a last resort.

- They live for the weekend, drinking booze.
I notice that a lot in my circle of people. Probably why I stay home so much. I am largely antisocial. or just highly selective with my socialization.
A guy I know from a previous job here in my city is in a band. When they play gigs, it’s a GIVEN they will drink and get drunk. I stopped going to them so much, he asked why.
I just said “You guys are drunk all the time, and that just isn’t my scene. I think your playing would be even better off booze for a while”

Oh man how could I forget that one, that’s a HUGE one.
I’ve noticed drinking problems are casually celebrated, it’s the strangest thing to me.

I’m sitting in my car between deliveries.
There’s some dude wandering around the goodwill parking lot.
I can tell I’ve been running Emperor.
He walked toward my car the way homeless people do when they’re bumming around for money or smokes.
He got close and saw me staring at him.
And I was thinking “I don’t have any handouts for you”
He just kept walking.

And I’ve less patience than usual today with the people who walk slowly right down the middle of the lanes in the parking lot.
Move over or speed the fuck up

Today, there was a girl from my rental agency coming over to do the annual inspection.
She sounded cute on the phone.
Before the appointment time, I ran Sex & Seduction, Wanted, and got about 4-5 mins into Libertine before she showed up early.
She IS hella cute. Naturally, I didn’t try to seduce her or anything. But if I’d been single, I felt like I would’ve made a move.
It was a normal/professional experience. I did catch myself checking her out a lot, I don’t think she caught on. We seemed to get on fine, though, as she took the photos of the inside of the house.
I felt Palpatiny wake up a bit, of course. She laughed at my jokes, I laughed at hers.
I ran the stack (or what I could of it) just to see what that would be like.
Nothing else to report. Except I might start taking my rent payments INTO the office from now on, rather than just putting them into the drop box outside the office

These never fail to get laugh out of me smh.
But nobody shall ever beat ‘Little Bill’. That laugh is still echoing somewhere, I’m sure.

That’s one nice thing about the human habit of assuming most people are like us. Like if I don’t like something I’m not going to do it to somebody else. But then we also end up disappointed or irked when we find out that’s not actually how everybody thinks.
Then there’ve been other times where something doesn’t bother me at all so you don’t think of other’s even reacting to it and you look over and your buddy has this look on his face like he thinks you’re doing something to him on purpose. Say making noise with a straw and you’re just trying to get all of the ice cream from the bottom of the shake.
