Personally, the reason I’m enjoying HERO is that I never experience brain fog while running it. It gives me the confidence to speak up, even when I don’t know the topic inside out. It works especially well for those dealing with self-esteem issues, like the belief of ‘I’m not good enough, so I better not speak up.’ That was a big thing for me as a child.
Actually tell a lie I did accidently run it for 15 mins a few times and it hit me like a hammer LOL. I felt so tired and angry hence me only doing 6 min loops.
To be in that space and “BE” without being in my head about it… standing up for myself, creating boundaries, be good at whatever and know it…
Imagine mental perfection — complete mastery over your thoughts, emotions, and decisions, allowing you to navigate life’s complexities with unparalleled wisdom and intuition. Think of physical perfection — a state of optimal health and fitness that defies age and limitations, making you not just fit, but genuinely formidable. Envision spiritual perfection—attaining a profound connection with the deeper, more universal energies of life, enabling you to move through the world with grace, clarity, and purpose. Consider financial perfection — achieving a state of abundance that not only fulfills your needs but empowers you to make a difference in the lives of others. And let’s not forget moral perfection — a deeply ingrained sense of ethics and integrity that guides your every action and interaction.
The katana was chosen because it is an elegant weapon that seems inherently linked to mind, spirit and inner mastery. Most people use the katana incorrectly, it’s not meant for chopping and tons of deflections like you see in the movies – it would actually break if this occurred too much. It’s actually a slicing weapon, made for precision cuts, which require a harmony of body, mind and intent. In other words, it demands mastery. For example, compared to the long forms of traditional Karate, this is what a Iaido form looks like:
This particular video is a compilation of the various forms, but look how each individual form consists of only 2-3 strikes before the practitioner returns the blade to the sheath. Notice the peace and calmness exuding from the practitioner, as the mind is not focused as much on the threat and more on their own inner state, recognizing that the outer reflection of their skills is dependent on inner mastery.
However, the scripting can be adapted (and already has been adapted within Hero Origins) to apply this concept to every situation. Through mastery of the self, external mastery will emerge and the two are intrinsically linked – outer mastery cannot be attained without inner mastery and vice versa. The unity of the opposites, inner and outer, operating harmoniously.
This is the same concept as “taking action.” By taking action consciously, you create inner change, which in turn reflects back outward. Hence another meaning of certain universal symbols, such as:
Inner and outer are intrinsically linked, crossing at the center – the zero point, where inner and outer is intended to be fused into one, and that is the space where a person can find true wholeness and serenity.
What we call “recon” is this dynamic in play. You run a title and your inner reality no longer matches the outer, and the emotional mind seems to just take over, trying to find balance, but based on the past, which must be overcome. This is resolved by striving toward mastery – or “taking action,” which affirms the reality you’re trying to create for yourself and the inner life returns to a place of balance, but at a higher level.
With our titles, the zero point – you – is ALWAYS in control as soon as you realize it. We are not philosopher kings who are here to dictate the circumstances of your lives to you. We are here to offer tools to help you develop yourself in the way that you decide. And thus, if you want to use it for HEMA, as long as you strive toward mastery, and you understand the connection between why you prefer HEMA, why this blade and how it would change your inner life, even HERO: Origins will help achieve that. Someone here was using for Muay Thai and got incredible results, even though there isn’t an ounce of Muay Thai scripting in it.
That would be the virtue scripting in play. The “hammer” is actually the outward signal of an inner process that you’ve subconsciously (or consciously) to align yourself with. Authenticity. No lies. Just truth, and the world can deal with your truth in whatever way they want, but you may be choosing not to mask any longer.
Actually I have to say those lines were ripped from a scene from Enter the Dragon
“When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And, when there is an opportunity, I do not hit - it hits all by itself.” - Bruce Lee
The master is talking about how most enemies or obstacles—aren’t always what they seem on the surface. They create illusions: appearances, distractions, false identities, or fear-based projections to confuse, mislead, or control others. These aren’t real threats, they’re psychological smokescreens.
The enemy might appear powerful, but that power is often just an image, a mirage
He hides behind masks, ego, fear tactics, manipulation—anything but truth.
The master’s advice is to see through the illusion. Don’t get lost in the drama or the spectacle. Stay centered. See the real intent behind actions.
Mother is suffering from Alzheimer’s and father has renal issues he cannot walk or talk. I have dreams each night of reconnecting with them and having a normal conversation. I am gong to go and see them this weekend for a few days. Even though i cannot even have a normal chat with them will be around them.
You won’t believe what happened. My EU identity card actually slipped out of my pocket and landed right next to the gutter. I swear, by some kind of miracle, it didn’t fall into the gutter or slip down between the rails it literally just landed on top, like it had wings or something. I was so lucky. Or was this something to do with hero ?.
This kind hearted man shouted and pointed to the card making me aware that it had slipped out of my pocket.
What is in your hero kb3 custom? I thought you were playing Hero solo and thought it must be dense to give you recon solo but turns out your doing a custom,
I only get a recon when I do a full 15 mins of the loop. I did give it another go at 15 mins the recon was much less severe I just felt very tired for the first 4 hours of the day then it subsided. Back to 6 min loops again.
Decided to go down the path of adding wanted to my stack will add it in next week.
@SaintSovereign this ability to free flow and know exactly what to say in the moment. Whether its technology based or just in normal conversation is astounding !!!.
This is i never experienced in stark or limitless.
I never have to give any deep thought i just respond like its a natural born instinct. !!!
Hero with Khan Black has put on more muscle mass in one and half cycles. Then my Khan black/spartan apex, LOTS custom ever did. Its much more rapid on hero.
