Alrighty

Time to give some feedback after 2 loops (one today and one on Friday):

  • Firstly, the initial emotional response I had to this sub was pretty intense, I teared up thinking about the last few months, how so many people know of me, yet what have I done with my life to be deserving of such attention, heck I even single handedly almost ruined my whole life because of an undeserving addiction to a very low-tier substance, which ended up leaving me with some pretty bad PTSD :sweat_smile: so had quite a few stuff to overcome.

  • Adding to what I just said above, there was another thing I had to deal with, which was how I was taking my girl’s love and loyalty for granted, all while “enjoying” freedom that I don’t really think was healthy for her own mental health, while yeah, she did agree to the terms and all, deep down it did hurt her, and my ego really made sure I wasn’t paying attention to such things cause it was too busy getting inflated and pleased.

  • Secondly, the zen and focus during my workouts has been profound, I’ve always mentioned how lifting for me is a type of meditation, and that I feel like my whole being becomes in tune with my higher self through lifting, well, HO took that to a whole new level, not only by intensifying my workouts, but also by making me so deeply engaged with the weights that I just lose myself (in a good way).

  • Thirdly, I’m stacking this with a custom, and let’s just say that HO and WB stack well (in my personal experience, YMMV), and the result of this mix is reflected in the expression from within, it’s almost as HO is breaking the archetype down for me to master it in a better way, like deconstructing it, to make it even more personal and authentic; mastering the art of being a WANTED man without excessively feeding my ego.

  • This is slightly unexpected, but gaming wise, I reached platinum rank on 2 different characters in Street Fighter 6 :joy:

  • My productivity levels are pretty high, and while my custom does play a role here, it’s pretty evident that the boost came from being stress free about the things I wanna do, instead of thinking too much, I just take a leap of faith, and try to breakthrough, no matter how many angles I have to try from, because it’s either I’ll succeed, or I’ll learn, so it’s a win for me either way.

  • Energy levels seem pretty good too, especially when looking at the fact that I have been getting no more than 5-6 hours of sleep at most these days, yet still outperforming everyone around in every possible way.

  • There’s a certain level of ease that I find in the things I usually do, and I notice this the most when I’m playing and lifting, but where as Khan made me feel like it could get a bit lonely being at the top, HO makes me feel like the sky’s the limit, and even if no one’s aiming to reach that high, I’m just thankful to have the ability to do so myself.

Edit: to clarify the gaming improvement effect, the biggest reason I think that I’m suddenly better is because every time I’m in a match, I feel like my opponent is playing in slow motion, and while I’m not a clairvoyant, it seems like I almost always somehow know what their next move would be, and react to them before even thinking :eyes:

You’re on to something with the focus. I was multitasking and after starting I had an inner voice asking me “do you want to continue like this or doing quality work one after the other” and without giving an answer I knew “that guy” was right and I complied with doing quality.

Now imagine the possibilities with GMX + Mind’s Eye + HO in one custom, which would be boosted even more with the necessary modules for gaming skills (like Subconscious Flow, Deep State, Thunder, Submodel Alpha, The lines, Etc.,).

Would be pretty dope :wink:

That’s an excellent point. I guess one question is: How long did it take you to see results when you listened for 1min30s? Whatever that time was (same day, 1 day, 2 days, etc.,) could possibly be a useful observation interval to use when you’re figuring out your loop lengths with other programs.

But it’s an important point: Both disruptive reconciliation effects and results are useful feedback metrics to observe when establishing loop lengths.

3-5 minutes is good. If you’re running 15 minutes and not getting results, but getting amazing results with microloops, this means you need to do the 15 minutes every two or three days instead. Just needs more time to process.

That’s the whole theory regarding microloops. There’s less to process, so you go straight into implementation mode rather than processing.

I hope 5 minute sub at going to come in the next season

  • Life is slowing down. Single tasking not multi tasking. I don’t feel rushed. I feel at ease but powerful, like life is like tai chi.

  • night times (7-11pm) have become times of hyper-intentional behaviours, not stress or extra impulsivity. It’s become the time that’s best for meditation, journaling, and/or that one extra deep work session, the one that I do after I’ve fully shut down tech and no one can bug me

  • it’s becoming easier to do deep work. Resistance to it is down. I get into flow easier so enjoyment is up. I don’t check my phone or the forum when I’m doing it so effectiveness (and flow/focus/enjoyment) are all up.

  • most important… I think this is the essence of MU ZP… my mind goes RIGHT to the thought of deep work whenever I realize I’ll have a chance to do some. Like today, I thought “oh man so tonight I’ll transcribe the last of the course I’m working on then make a plan to start executing the course, maybe tonight I’ll make a schedule for the next few weeks based on it.” If I’m at home doing something menial, my mind gets preoccupied with deep work instead. Like my priorities are switching to care more about mastery. Nice thing is it’s not an obsession - doesn’t come up when I’m socializing, I can be present there. It’s just realizing that deep work isn’t just the best way to spend the time, it’s the most enjoyable too.

Maybe this is an effect of Hero, but man am I questioning every single intention of mine with every loop of WB in my custom.
It’s like a part of me keeps telling me to stop, and shows me every reason as to why I shouldn’t run it anymore :sweat_smile:

Saint did also say this to me:

And while they did mix up nicely on surface level, as I mentioned here:

The more I look into and dive deeper, the more I realize that I’m just fooling myself into thinking that I can be 100% righteous and virtuous while feeding my ego with WB.

I must admit though, I did only start feeling this way after I woke up, as before that, I didn’t really feel this way last night when I wrote my previous post, but right now, I’m just getting bombarded by all the bad choices I made so far, and it’s not like the sub (WB) is bad, it’s just too surface level and ego-centric for me.

Who knows, maybe Hero is bringing up the same thoughts that I had during my time away, but either way, I’m looking forward to further development with Hero :muscle:t3:

I’m running Hero.

Last night I had a dream where my factory workers were for some reason visiting and working in some other company. After a day, the people of the other company were so impressed with our people that they wanted to come to work for me.

But I had to talk one person out of it, because I saw that she would not be happy with the work she would have to do in my company. She would end up being happier if she kept her current job and advanced her career there.

Weird dream.

What will you do now? Will you drop WB, drop Hero or everything will stay as it is?
