I ran R.I.C.H. Ultima V1 today while waiting at the laundromat.
So that will partially explain some of today’s recon I bet.
It was recon of the “This shit is too much! Stop this stack!” type.
I bought Genesis finally today, with every intention of abandoning my stack, and doing Genesis, UP and (either RoS or RoM) instead.
I let the idea sit for a few hours. I won’t abandon the stack. Mainly because I wanna see it through.
I just left a comment earlier on @COWolfe’s journal about how an Emperor doesn’t allow himself to be beholden to rigid plans.
I still stand by that, even though I was technically in a bit of recon at the time I left that post. But I know that if I abandon this cycle on just day 6, I’ll be pissed at myself.
This is me developing my “will” (one reason I started with Ascension and GLM last cycle, and still doing GLM this cycle).
I wrote about “will” before on my private journal for ZPS/ZPPF testing. Including part of here to clarify what I mean by “will”…I took the definition from Kenrick Cleveland:
I decided I’m leaving home early (for me) today.
I recently read Kenrick Cleveland’s book “The Magician’s Law” where in one section he talks about exercising the “Will.”
Basically, with how he defines the “Will”, it just means to do what you say you’re going to do.
When people want to do something and imagine doing it, but don’t do it, they are weakening their Will.
When people want to do something and then do it, they are strengthening their Will.
Today, at around 9:45am, I told myself “I’ll leaving home for the day by 10:15.”
Nothing special about that time, it was just arbitrary, being half hour away.
I was out by 10:21. Will (lol) do better tomorrow.
All this talk of “Will” is where Recon symptoms come from I think. I want to tell Zelda how amazing she is, but I hold myself back. Weakening my Will.
