@SaintSovereign yesterday a therapist of sorts explained to me that I stopped allowing myself to feel, to the point that I try to intellecttualize love and have become distrusting to what I dont see… would this be the title to work with? Stage 2 Water?
If you’re using HERO: TLTB to tackle this, you’d want to use Water and Air successively. Water helps process the emotions, Air helps stabilize the mind. They create an “axis” of sorts, since the mind and your emotions are most certainly mirrors of each other.
But the best title for this right now is Dragon Reborn: Regeneration. It will help you achieve the same goal given how it allows you to process deep emotions without over-intellectualizing them.
Thank You, for the record, these titles have brought me a long way, I have a long way to go but I went as far as I could see, and now!!!
OK where do I start.
To get the picture of how deep this worked you need to know a little about my past.
I had a very very very ugly father that brought me to the point that when I was 8 years old I stood up one night and grabbed the big vegetable knife from the kitchen and go into his room. I put the blade on his throat and knew it can all be over now but I hesitated and then I put the blade away. I looked at him and decided that no matter how hard this gets - I endure it and I will survive that and I will heal everything that’s allready broken in me.
On the other side is my mother who gave me the ice cold emotionless treatment when it counted, manipulative to the end and just a dominating and punishing attitude towards me. My little brother didn’t get that from her.
There are many story’s that brought tears into strong males eyes whenever I talked about my past.
So back to 2025- first loop of st 2 water.
The first loop was like warm water that flowed down into my stomach, instilling something in me I didn’t knew. It felt like I was finding what I had searched for-warm energy towards myself.
The same day I stood by the river and I cried professionally, so deeply - what I had to say and never said came out and I let it out.
This also happened during st 1 - so I knew the process of letting it out already.
2nd loop was similar, I jumped from joy - the search for warmth had an end, I couldn’t get that from my mother but now I can give it to myself.
So I did.
Also i allways had the state of : if I feel it will destroy me. That and many other fears made it nearly impossible to advance in life.
Time to face that - so I smoked weed that put me in recon every day, going into recon until I lost the fear of feeling and came out with confidence that no matter what I feel I survive it and turn it to my favor.
Pain turned into determination to heal deeper
Sadness turned into care
Anger into Boundarys
Hate into understanding and refusal to give it
Trauma into motivation
Poison into control
Emptiness into care to fill the void with warmth
Confusion into clarity
Blindness into open eyes
Deafness into hearing ears
Numbness into pleasurable experience
Basically I had to do a new start and dropped everything I though I am and looking Reality into it’s eyes, facing the bitterness, the delusion, the fake strength, fake confidence, the lies I tell myself and the world.
I needed to crumble down to realize that there is love beneath all that and it will not vanish,so I have the strength to come out golden
Let’s go
Took me a long time to feel all the things I avoided but after a while I figured out that I have become a save space to process emotions - so I did, and I get better at it to the point I could transform a emotion on the spot.
Many times when I wanted to go out at night, i returned immediately because I smoked one ( my dose to work with weed is 1-2 puffs) because pain or sadness or feelings of inferiority came up strongly.
Back home work.
So I tested my progress at night
And then slowly I get control over my emotions, in the beginning it was an uncontrollable stream then a stream then a state then a thing to look at and in the end a choice.
Now I can decide the intensity of my emotions.
So I practice that for a while and now it’s a wave that comes and goes under my control (if I want the wave to come, I can also tell it it’s unnecessary and then it’s silent) I can control my emotions to the point of artistry.
Example : I sat a couple of days ago at the lake smoked one and asked : what do I really have to say to my father? The answer was : you did terrible things to me and I didn’t deserve it, you know what here take this package it’s yours, it does not belong to me, bye. All the negative charge was gone befor I had the imaginative talk, I saw my father more with eyes of love than anything else. chapter closed now,new life awaits me.
Then I enjoyed the lake,later I played Foosball, then watched a movie.
Same with my mother or other people. I felt the poison inside myself but I could decide if I want to give this to someone or just destroy it and live a worthy life.
I allways choose the worthy life, it feel just good.
Hatred
Anger
Poison
Curse
All my choices to charge them or let them die and be worthwhile towards myself first and then authentic to others
Also loneliness, my biggest weakness turns into strength. I lived through this pain until I found love for myself and it’s constant
More weaknesses are turning into strength
It was way more than what I described here but I allready forgot it because it just flowed through me and is gone.
For the first time in my life I can feel the positive feelings I have towards others without the garbage
what a precious present you @SaintSovereign have given me
Thank you 
St 2 is intense if you have many problems but the reward is gold
Let’s go
Edit : did a 60 day circle, at day 23 the results exploded like crazy, felt like a download is installed forever
Edit : basically your unhealthy emotions flow trough you until you feel the healthy energy
Did the first loop of st 3 Air today.
Ahhhh is that relaxing
Like a breeze of fresh Air

Hero Origins does this really well alongside BL (previous.version)
Does what specifically?
It is posts like these that drive us to keep creating better and better titles. It is us who thanks you for being so open about your experience.
emotional self-protection. Your afraid of what you might feel if you open yourself up to someone ypu genuinely like. This combo can help
Please never stop
Thank you
Has anyone stacked RoM and Air together? Is it redundant to stack them together? Can Air deliver what RoM delivers and more?
I am on st 3 and something is happening I didn’t expect.
I can lisen to a 4 core custom for 3 min and it’s smooth sailing.
I can clearly say it’s because I have gone through the 3 stages of Hero.
I process the scripts immediately and with conscious guidance, I welcome change and am grateful for all the good changes that happen.
Earth made it possible to expirience internal states that where saved in my body, organs, muscles, wherever and then stay grounded and work them out.
Water made it possible to feel what I needed to feel and then let it flow through me until I am clean from it
Air give me the possibility to look from above what the state of mine is and then choose better and let old things into the wind
I think this combo made it possible to expand my capacity
That’s very cool
Thank you
That’s fantastic news.
How long did you run each stage?
St1 Earth - June 25 - Oktober 25
St2 Water Oktober 25- December 25
St3 December 25- still ongoing
