Something about this really struck a cord, and I feel the same way on AoW
More curiosity towards my inner experience, and less judgement for it.
This, being based off Sun Tzu, gives me SO MUCH hope for CWON being based on Tao Te Ching
That title, with anti recon, is gonna slap so fucking hard
Gonna slap, it’s already slapping!
The recon recognition on this is pretty good. Because previously, I was sometimes not sure if I was in recon or just stressed out.
I’m getting slapped.
As a was about to leave this morning (for work, I had to pickup some material for my day job at a specific time), I had a couple of losses and I was getting pretty fearful.
While I was driving to pickup stuff (1hr drive so I had time to think), I was asking myself why so fearful?
In truth, I got into my shadow, stuff I don’t want to admit about myself, stuff I’m ashamed of.
I’m scared of being vulnerable, as I associate being vulnerable as being weak. Opening the door to anyone to take advantage or hurt you. Bad things can happen.
Losing in trading triggered this fear for me. Fear or not being good, not being strong enough… Failure, as failure is an inability of being strong.
Being good in trading, achieving success and wealth is more than just money and travel for me. It’s about protection, it’s about being strong. Every loss threaten this and makes me feel less strong, more vulnerable.
Hence I get scared easily… It goes so much deeper than this with shit tons of behaviors I also have in other area of my life, but this morning I was wondering why a couple of tiny loss got me fearful like this.
Tao sub is going to slap for sure. Living in that state of non-resistance is pretty much life goals.
We already have a Tao sub, it’s called Art of war
I got interested in the Tao IMMEDIATELY after starting AOW… then saw your guys post and wondered if there’s a connection. There obviously is.
(But yes a truly spiritual Tao sub would be amazing - just highlighting a possible reason for the current inspiration)
Inner awareness is really helping me understanding myself, being honest with myself and remembering these learnings.
Usually when I’m aware, I just tend to forget and get back into ignorance.
Now yesterday I noticed that I’m trying to prove myself, proving that I’m worth something every time I trade. It’s not just about greed, every loss I get remind me that I suck and I’m no good. This is what AoW is working on
I’m not good enough and I need to prove I’m good.
That is in complement with my need to feel strong. Lots of things are coming up from my shadow and I plan on digging as much as needed.
@SaintSovereign I have a strong feeling these are from the inner awareness scripting in The Art Of War, but could it be related to the anti-recon scripting?
Alright, once again, not sure what part of the script does this, but I’ve been triggered pretty hard by some shit from my childhood.
Fight or flight took off pretty strongly in my body. Usually it takes me a bit of time to realise and react, but this time I reacted a lot quicker, I think it took less than a minute to feel the stress in my chest and stomach area.
I started breathing through it and immediately asked myself why I was reacting that way, figured out what triggered me and kinda “accepted the present moment”…
I don’t really know how AoW does to let go, or how it encourages one to let go I’d be curious about it.
You know some guy in Texas right now is unemployed, wearing only slippers and watching tv that he put outside while drinking beer all day. His life is a mess, some people would call him homeless and think you will die if you get yourself in that spot, but for him it’s just a normal day. He doesn’t care. He’s content living like a dog hahaha. He pisses on some guys car if he feels like he got a mean look from him. He steals groceries once a week and smokes weed with his friend. And he’s probably more content than most people his age out there. Food for thought.
I can confirm that this improves my chess playing. I played today for the first time since adding AOW to my stack and my play was effortless and my strategy was dominant. I naturally implemented defensive positions without a second thought.
I ran it for two months, 11 Jan to 10 Mar. Since then, I’ve been working with Ecstasy of Gold 1. But I’m looking forward to returning to Revelation of Wealth when I can.
I think I’m still having reverberating insights and shifts from Revelation of Wealth even now, almost 2 months since stopping.
AoW’s helping to deal with my anger issues. It has brought it to the surface. It seems to leak out at uncertain times.
Now I have the opportunity to address it and calm these emotions down.
And for some reason, my voice seems louder or The perception of it is much louder than actually is. Is there something in the script for this?
Lately, it seems like my timing in entering situations and conversations has been bad.
My timing has been very awful for so long, I’m just VERY cognizant of it now. I see how
I’m guessing this type of awareness is what is termed as “getting negative results”
YOU ARE NOT GETTING BAD RESULTS, you’re just more aware.You can just let the sub work with you OR you can work with the sub, learn to change that situation in your favor the next time you observe it.
Become adversarial…draw power from what you’re ashamed of… visualize scenarios where you fail, let the fear consume you… And soon you will se raw power emerge, like that darkness transformed you into a demon … A demon that slays through the opportunities, is the strongest adversary anyone would have had, with the depths nobody has dared to explore… the power you will feel will draw you in to conquer more demons, and the more demons you conquer, the more you become a sovereign individual. Feel the fear and let it turn you on, let those primal energies transmute fear into a sexual encounter with the unknown, performing a lustful dance of passion and power that sharpens your very whole being into an absolute sophisticated unit carefully designed, who craftfully navigates and thrives in the chaos.
It’s time to lay my hand on this little gem and see what it can do for me.
The Unknown One (my shadow) and I in even greater union…
@James
If you haven’t tried AoW, I’d suggest giving it a shot instead of waiting for an update to EB. It doesn’t provide the same kind of focus, but I’ve never used a sub that would help me rein in my psychology as much as this one does.
Any review of this product from people who ran it for a cycle?
There seems to be a lot in the internal know yourself side but cant see reviews that give full picture.
Here’s a hard truth. One cycle isn’t enough to give you a full picture of any of these products.
One cycle is like sticking the key in the lock, turning it, and cracking the door just an inch. You get a breeze, an aroma, a sense, just a taste of what’s possible.
I am finishing up my cycle this week and then taking a wash out. Here are a few things I’ve noticed so far.
Within 24 hours of my first listen, I listened to the Art of War audiobook on YouTube. I listened to it one other time later that week. While I’ve read the book before, it hit me in a whole new way. Even little things like Sun Tzu’s 5x5 frame stuck with me and permeated all areas of my life. Sun Tzu broke everything down into five principles, each with their sub-principles, and I now do that in all areas of my life, where I look for what are the top five principles, and then how can I align the sub-principles underneath that? And I’m totally fine with the sub-principles, having their own sub-principles. But the framework allows me to pack in a lot of information and thought and organization into many areas of my life.
I recently updated my personal journal reflecting on how AOW has changed my thinking around coding with AI and how much more structured I’ve become. I’m creating processes to make my successes repeatable and soon as automated as possible.
The calm scripting in this is even better than ED. I have been far more centered during this cycle with AOW. I am the embodiment of the calm in eye of the storm.
I’m beginning to notice and am being confronted by all of the areas where I’m not as productive as I want to be or where I am still procrastinating or putting off things that need to be done.
I ordered a Mendi this week. I’ve been doing a ton of research on neurodivergence to help one of my children. That process may be realized that I have some ADHD behaviors. I need to improve my executive functioning and blood flow to certain areas of my brain. So I ordered this neurofeedback device in order to train and help move blood to different areas of my brain, especially the frontal lobe.
ASBR likely contributed to my unlocking a new way for me to study and learn information with Goggle NotebookLM, but I cannot deny the strategy that I’m employing is beyond anything I previously thought possible.
I previously commented on how my chess game had improved without even practicing. After about a week or so of listening.
Many of these observations only occur during reflection because they naturally happen while taking action and living life.
Running this I’m more and more aware of my shadow, and things I’m not happy nor proud of.
I’m thinking I need to grow and reconnect to my masculinity. Keeping an eye on the new version of GLM, I’ll definitly need some anti-recon thrown into the mix.
Once again I saw that I missed a trade last night as I was sleeping, and I missed some opportunity to enter last week because I hesitated. I took notes regarding what I did wrong on it, but I would have been 12%+ of my account up if I had caught it.
I am doing swing trading so it’s not like I have 5 setups per days, usually there is one opportunity per week, maybe 2-3 if lucky. This months, moves have been big and I ended up with a low amount of opportunity.
This morning when I saw the market moved without tagging me, I got sad, a bit desperation seeped in.
“I should have done X”, “I should have done Y”, “Why didn’t I enter there when I could??!”
Had to reassess my emotions, keep calm and re-align myself with the present moment. My goal is to take action when I’m calm, and the reason I couldn’t enter on that setup was because I wasn’t crystal clear on my entry and I took few notes for maybe the next time I’ll be able to catch some subtle details.
