Please don’t assume you can fight and actually fight someone without proper training

Seems like I’m the last man running this beast…
You’ll notice the effects in various contexts depending on your current development of those virtues. No over the top changes happened for me, but there’s been a strong shift in that I’m keenly aware of maintaining an honorable position in all my dealings, whether personal or business, and I feel it like a punch to the gut if I say/do something that’s “a little off” from my internal compass.
It’s challenging at first because you’ll reflect on and notice shortcomings in those areas, but things will smooth out and feel natural over a few cycles.
Check my journal if you want examples…I made a few entries about the virtue scripting.

Here’s some koto (琴) music that I made (digitally) about 2 years ago. Seems appropriate to the HERO discussion thread.

That’s very promising. I am almost 100% at the moment on switching my stack back to primaries of Hero, GLM and KB, leaving IG aside to run the course of its build-up in my processing queue.
I’ve been reflecting on my attitude towards subs, vice and demons/negative spiritual influences lately. It’s easy when running subs that push you toward greatness to become unbalanced, especially when seduction or topics of power are involved, which is why I appreciate the virtue scripting muchly.
I’ve noticed in the witness state the dialogue/interplay between the vices and the virtuous component of my being. Negative spiritual influences can insert thoughts or suggestions into your head based on your proclivities, but can’t make you do something unless you leave the state of presence to the spirit. Earlier today the dialogue was between going to the store to buy alcohol to consume at home alone versus recognizing the origin of this being in this enjoyment of the sensuality of the world and emotions, and reminding myself of John chapter 1 and Paret’s writings.
I do feel like Hero has helped, while also acknowledging that like all subs its only an aid to the spirit by giving us a nudge in the right direction.

I can tell you that after 4 cycles with Hero, some prayer, and guided energy work…the voice that whispered in my ear at the store today to do the same didn’t find a foothold and seemed absurd. In fact, I didn’t drink the entire 4 months while running Hero. And I didn’t have to try not to either.
Those negative influences won’t ever give up trying to find an opening, so having a helpful nudge with this sub is well worth it.

Both sides of my family are no strangers to a good drop, especially wine. A bloke named Andy who made his own religion called Andyism (whose only precept was: make up your goddamned own) introduced me to the finer points of whiskey; the other types came later. I have a family member who was high up in the public service before he retired, and he not only drank heavily but kept his own dedicated cellar. My Dad when I was growing up had to overcome alcoholism to be a good father to his kids. And when I was involved in ceremonial magic, my first and primary magickal name basically consecrated me to Dionysus in a certain way (the gematria).
I believe we all have certain vices that are the hardest to redeem, and usually these are in the areas we are most familiar with the world. So quitting drinking altogether is probably unlikely to happen for me, although it is paradoxically simple to do so when it is out of necessity.
Back on topic though, I definitely found the calmness on the sub one of the best aspects of it, and the only reason I hadn’t considered the virtue scripting side of things at the time is that I’ve already been running other subs and having other experiences which had pushed me in that direction, so its difficult to separate the different causal agents from one another.
I’m glad to hear of your success though. Did you have a link to the posts you mentioned? I don’t think I saw one above.
EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

Or, might get greatly enhanced. Writers can move away from being word smiths and towards being ideasmiths

Does HERO Origins have status scripting or is it only self development with the virtues?
Edit:
I found the answer after reading the description again:

Is anyone here still training with the blade? how is it going so far?
I’m still using random movements that i picked up from youtube when i first started this sub. it has been a few months of daily practice and i notice that I’m more steady and balanced. I haven’t had the opportunity to get into a sparring situation though.

Do you have any kind of fencing classes available in your area?
Then I would highly recommend checking it out.
Even if it’s “just” modern sport fencing.
I did Hema longsword for some years. Once, at a local sports convention, I was asked by a the sport fencers next to my rocknroll group, if I’d like to try sport fencing. I said yes. And surprisingly I was pretty good despite the huge differences.
But learning in a group, the challenge it’s all a great enhancing factor for your training.
BTW, never ran Hero. But I’d love to do so in the future.

I find it hard to put a dedicated time to go to one, But i would love to when my schedule allows it.
I remember reading your introduction post and you said you’re into fencing. I’m sure you would enjoy HeO if you ever decide to use it.
Did my first loop of Hero 2 days ago.
I was sitting on a mountain alone at night and did 6 min.
I started to respect myself and my Surroundings immediately more, I let some paranoia go (Alone in the woods with animals) I saw myself as a steel Samurai cutting through every thread.
Then it dawned on me that I need to defend myself from everyone who has bad intentions towards me, I saw how my abusive father Was the reason I rarely stepped up for myself and it is the reason I let people treat me badly, also I somehow pull myself out of a sick Jesus like state that let others harm me because I thought it doesn’t hurt me. But it does hurt me and it hurts my self respect.
So immediately I watched on YouTube the basic striking techniques and did 5 min of amateur striking to get used to it. I noticed that I don’t want to hurt people and I lack destructive power, immediately snapped out of it and telling myself : if I truly respect myself then use power, it’s ok, it’s self respect to defend my life.
Then I meditated
A hour later I walked down the mountain and when I saw people I had a straight posture, feeling strong internaly. I searched for this feeling my whole life. I realized that it is sufficient to be strong internaly, no need for violence.
At home I start to watch samurai anime to see if I can learn something and then I felt asleep. 3 hours later I woke up, I realized that I am in a contracted sleeping position. I asked : what dose this position says about me? The answer was Protection from the world. I told myself : I am here to protect myself,
Immediately I laid flat on my back for the first time in my life and slept in only to wake up again and felt that I don’t like the taste in my mouth so i brush my teeth. I stood up knowing that brushing my teeth is self respect and after brushing my teeth I went strait to bed again.
The next day was something I never expirienced in my life.Douring the first couple of hours it felt as I was growing tall and mighty in a positive way, it felt like I am the father I never had. I even started to work out and correct my bad posture with specific exercises. It dawned on me that it’s exciting to master a craft or multiple crafts and it never ends progressing. So I saw a couple of things I am gona do for me when I am back home. With a newborn confidence I left the apartment and jumped into life.
It was a great day.
Today I stood up and searched for meaning in my life and started to meditate on it until I found a couple of ways. Then imeadiatly cleaned my apartment and make my stuff ready for leaving Grecce.
Its my last day in holiday and I feel somewhat of a heavy heart since 3 days, I don’t want to go back to this degeneratet people in Switzerland where no feelings or positivity is shared. I go back to cold,negative, heartless elitare people and it scares the shit out of me because after 3 months in Switzerland, I feel nothing, see nothing, hear nothing and are shut down like a lifeless zombie.
ZAAAAACKKK
I see the samurai cutting trough all this shit that awaits me.

Did a second loop and ended up helping 2 friends of mine to face some uncomfortable truths about themselves for nearly 6 hours.
I get a message this morning from one of them : “Leo I want to sincerely thank you for yesterday, you are the greatest guy on earth”
Also I am now at nearly 29 hours of fasting without a problem. The discipline is Amazing
Did Sport yesterday also
And I am feeling as if I have gained healthy Masculinity, stability, calmness, stoic and more mastery over a chosen craft

I just read the description again.
Some of it sounds suspiciously like the description of NSE.
Could be, i asked support a question about Genesis and they answered that Genesis contains an early version of the NSE

Does HeO have scripting for increasing patience?
It’s not in the description, but i noticed that i have become more patient after using HeO for more than half a year now.
How do i describe it… there are things that i still want to hurry, but I don’t emotionally suffer from it as much as before.
This developed slowly overtime, so i’m not sure if it’s from HeO or not.
