Okay, I see what you mean. The reality influencing stuff I’ve used is Neville Goddard and the Gallery of Magick books, so in my mind I label that stuff “magick”, whereas the tantra I practice is strictly focused on attaining Buddhahood as quickly as possible.
The founders here said they’ve built their subs on questions rather than affirmations, and I think those questions are similar to the ones you hear in the superchargers (LifeCharger app, or the pre-Ultima versions of LIbertine, True Social, As Above/So Below, etc.).
My personal theory/understanding is that there’s a collective unconscious that links all humans and is affected by emotion, and that subs, tantra, magick, manifestation, etc. all manipulate it to varying degrees of effectiveness. Thus they’re all just different means to the same end, sometimes one is better suited to a specific purpose than another, and intuition is the only way of choosing which one to use for a given purpose.
At this point, it feels like it’s a matter of when, not if. Going out to a bar sober and not talking to anyone for an hour used to make me feel like suffocatingly heavy cloud was present over my perceptions because of stifledness and self-loathing, but when I did the same thing last night it felt like a very thin grey cloud, only overwhelming in a very subtle sense (though I still had to get pissed off enough with my inaction to actually go talk to girls). Pemako Buddhism practices are REALLY effective. SubClub has been a very useful aid to them, first with Khan ST1 back when it was released, then Alchemist for getting my motivation right, and now Sage Immortal with MASSIVELY increasing the rate of progress.
I decided then to practice that ye’ old manifesting technique of thinking of a golf ball, a duck, a red-balloon, a ladder or something and finding it within the week, its an introductory technique that in my opinion is foundational; so while sweeping, I chose to think of something more meaningful to me, a symbol or an object that would evoke an emotional response instead, making it more difficult. In the most random, unsuspecting way, by sundown it popped up. So did it the next day, and the next and the next and today. Some were brought to me by outside sources, a message from a friend with that object randomly in the background, a video with the object on a shirt and one particular case was a combination of meaningful objects and symbols of things I am working upon all conspiring as one with that specific object that I held in my mind’s eye but for a second, as if the universe raising a middle finger and the horns sign up my cynical face. I was satisfied by the first day but it seems that its still rolling and now I’m experimenting with something different.
