Deeper Daredevil Impressions
I once posted about Daredevil and the surprisingly emotional growth I was experiencing on it.
I’m back on Daredevil now, and honestly, I’d forgotten how much of a “healing” sub this is for me. Had to review the old post I made… I was surprised then, I’m surprised now.
All of these are either results I wasn’t even aware until I read the sales page, and/or results I’m just shocked by.
Daredevil Experiences
-
Questioning my relationship a LOT more.
I’m happy about this, though.
I had originally thought that I was in recon hell from the Love Without Attachment module, or perhaps even my few tiny loops of WB did something to my commitment, but that’s not what happened…
Daredevil has been reconnecting me to my desire for freedom, adventure, personal growth, career impact, etc, and being in a relationship where the next step is to settle down, have a family, and prioritize how much money I make instead of how I make money has never felt right… even more so with Daredevil highlighting the natural parts of my archetype.
- “The Present Moment” is becoming central
For good and for bad.
When I procrastinate, scroll, indulge in vices and escapism, it hurts WAY more. (Results can sometimes BE the recon - pain is a valuable teacher, if you’re willing to learn from it.)
And my moments of presence and clarity are much more joyful and meaningful. The first time I did Qi-Gong, I fell in love with it, and went from 20 minutes of guided Qi-Gong to memorizing the moves and spending almost an hour flowing through them at my own pace. It’s the most present I’ve ever felt in my life.
- Imagining totally new possibilities for my life
My ability to imagine new possibilities with optimism is expanding. I had received notice that a company in NYC was hiring, and instead of being pessimistic about moving to America, about the crowded city life of NY, etc., I was simply filled with wonder.
Practically speaking, I don’t think it’s the exact right move or timeline, but my takeaway from the experience is that a big part of me is ready for a big move.
- Self Worth Issues coming to the surface (and being healed)
How can you tell a captivating story if half way through, you think to yourself…
“Oh my god everyone is listening, but my story isn’t THAT interesting, they’re probably thinking I’m an attention hog right now”
Storytelling goes beyond the technical proficiency, and into the emotional comfort with being the storyteller, and being the one everyone is listening to.
In that sense, it’s an incredible foundation sub for ASBR, which is like a Daredevil+Wealth+Fame+Dominance sub, IMO. You’re the center of attention if you’re famous.
- Daredevil requires a high amount of conscious guidance to fully express.
The pro tips say it best. Emphasize the present moment. Be curious and open to new experiences. Practice story telling. Connect with others through that.
Daredevil has immense internal results, but it’s an “action” oriented sub, and the action it emphasizes is complete disregard of the status quo and being free, taking extremely bold attention, being the center of attention by captivating a room with a well-told story, living fearlessly.
And as much as Emperor is a “difficult” sub, it’s also very conforming to societal expectations: hate on universities, hate on your boss, be a lone wolf alpha that focuses heavily on wealth. That requires discipline, but, not courage… not if you know that you can accomplish business success. There’s a clear financial and material (sexual) motive underlying much of what Emperor has to offer.
But what about Daredevil? What’s the “obvious” answer to why to adventure? Why do it at all?
Crossing the country, taking a daring venture, re-orienting your whole life to be more in line with living solely in the joy of the present moment, on the other hand? That isn’t in line with the “future orientation” and material obsession of modern western society. It takes not just discipline, but also courage.
