Here is my experience of the last six weeks with EB.
Six and a half weeks ago I bought Emperor Black. Until today I listened to EB exclusively solo. This led to some interesting findings for me.
Besides the energy and peace that EB brings, it also makes you reorder your priorities in life. The forum here was still very interesting to read, but I no longer felt the need to actively participate. This was also true for many other things. The time was used more productively. Now I am slowly coming back from my time out.
Furthermore, EB makes you really tackle your problems. EB builds up a lot of pressure, which I sometimes found unpleasant because there are problems that cannot be solved immediately. All in all, however, it is precisely this pressure that is sometimes very important in order to move forward. It is amazing how narrow the focus is. Almost as if a certain goal is recognized and then EB does not let go. Like a dog that has bitten down hard.
I was able to arrange some important things professionally and privately in the last few weeks. Also, you become more selfish and simply block out things that are not good for yourself. This is also a very good effect to be more successful.
I find the dark side of EB somewhat unpleasant. There is a lot coming together from the past. However, this influence is weakening at the moment and I think I have chewed through pretty much everything negative. Self-reproaches, self-doubt, insecurities, fear, that was also part of EB for me the last few weeks. In terms of solitude, it really is the case that you also feel solitary. Not always, but sometimes. For someone who already feels too lonely, that would probably not be so good.
In the first few days I also had the one or other nightmare. That was not very nice, but quickly subsided. At the moment I still feel the need to stay with EB. However, no longer solo. I bought RoM today as a supplement and my stack is now EB and RoM. I am already curious how RoM now affects me. Since I have now developed a very good feeling for EB, I will probably be able to evaluate it well. Of course, the synergy will also play a big role.
What remains to be said after 6 weeks of EB?
For me personally, this sub fits perfectly to my current life situation. I need the focus and strength to get through some very serious problems. Professionally and privately. I think EB is perfect for that, especially since EB also brings a certain coldness that you take over. This makes you not quite so vulnerable. EB just suits me at the moment and I am looking forward for more results in the near future.
