More intentional awareness?
More intentional awareness
(you’re right, of course. I just want to keep it simple.)
Vocalizing that intent always adds power, by giving it expression?
Well said. I’ve wanted an upgraded pure social sub for a while now. Something that could attach at all levels of social skill.
For example:
No matter which title I run, I keep taking action towards building my business.
Emperor has plenty of romance scripting, I do get some of those results. (Wife related)
But the main results I get are business related.
I’m not running around seducing women.
Sooo I just started with dd/ps because I like dd and am interested in reality bubbles from ps. Tonight I will be at a concert, so we will see.
Yes, I would think that stating your intention with a sub can only help manifest your conscious intent, by giving voice to it. Helping yourself to align with it. Not the only way, of course.
You’ve got to use the way that is natural and right to you.
Reverse engineer it from observing your own life.
What do you do when you’re serious about something?
How do you talk about it?
How do you think about it?
How do you NOT talk about it?
Look at what you’ve already done, then apply it in new directions.
This is also part of what is meant by ‘alchemy’. Doesn’t have to be namby-pamby, martial arts movies, with bald, chanting, glowing people. (and yes, I’m just about almost a bald, chanting, glowing person. So no disrespect intended.)
It’s taking the things that are your natural characteristics, and rather than expressing them in unregulated, harmful, dysfunctional, or disorganized ways, instead harnessing them to take you in chosen directions.
The people who first started taking pieces of cloth and hanging them on their boats so that instead of driving them in circles the wind was pushing them closer to their destinations? Those were alchemists.
Or a dude who’s an adrenaline-junkie. He gets off on risking his life, running up to strangers’ homes, busting inside, running around, and then jumping into his car and driving away through all of the traffic lights at top speed before he can get caught.
That guy’s definitely going to wind up in jail.
Unless…
Alchemy.
He chooses to become a firefighter.
Now, he’s busting into people’s homes, risking his life, speeding through traffic lights…
and he is a hero.
You are already using Intent. It’s part of your birthright as a human being.
You just need to channel it by spending time paying attention to the things that inspire you and that align with your nature and your values.
If you were very hot and parched, and a wonderful, clean, pure glass of fresh, cool water was in front of you, would you be confused about how to reach out and drink it?
No. It would be the most natural thing in the world.
Intent.
Engage with the realities that inspire you. Not just by repeating words, but by getting up and going to see them, be close to them, listen to them, etc.
Just like with the glass of water.
You wouldn’t sit for 10 minutes saying, ‘I INTEND TO DRINK THIS GLASS OF WATER’. And then doing a kung fu bow or something.
You would reach forward, pick it up, and drink it.
If it was in the next room, you would walk to the next room, pick it up and drink it.
If it was at the store, you would drive to the store, buy it, bring it back home, pick it up and drink it.
and so on.
Intent.
Conscious guidance.
Subs help you focus on their objectives subconsciously. In order to aid their achievement you need to focus on them consciously, therefore, aligning your focus on both levels.
For example, this Mogul’s objective:
- Boost motivation to create wealth through existing and new revenue channels.
can be aided consciously by planning and working on your existing revenue channels and pondering on new ones and venturing. It’s as simple as that.
The best thing to do would be planning a course of action for the objectives you really want to (or must) achieve and then taking the required action.
Naturally, every sub offers more than just a list of objectives and we can still benefit from them without any particular planning (organized intent), just by going with the flow of life. Yet, that’s far from an optimal approach.
Spend 5-10 minutes each day visualizing your goals and someone you would need to become to achieve those goals “naturally and effortlessly” and then go about your day. If you want to go further, you can use image boards, journaling, whatever method allows you to deeply visualize the desired outcome and the hero you would need to become to achieve it “naturally and effortlessly”. Naturally, for most of the subs you need to pair it up with taking proper action (ex. Mogul, Emperor). Another thing is feeling into the “persona” the sub is attempting to instill in you (ex. WB, Libertine, DD).
This is only to help you get immersed in your real intents, improve your conscious focus on them and give you a motivational boost.
What does your intuition tell you?
If they resonate with you- go for it
Yep.

Little update,
Absolutely loving DD so far. Ran my second loop yesterday, experienced a bit of recon and wasn’t really feeling it. Today I woke up in one of the best moods I’ve been in, in a loooong time. Just in a fun and playful mood in, joking around, having a blast on sales call, present, but still very effective on going through the sales process.
Then the big result, I just gave my first sales training ever to a group of 13 people over zoom and absolutely crushed it. I have terrible public speaking anxiety, normally this is something that would have wrecked me. Didn’t really prepare much, just had a few points I wanted to talk about and I was able to just riff it for almost 30 minutes, had a blast doing it, and totally connected with the audience. Probably the most fun experience I’ve had in years.
Full loop?
I’ve been doing 3 minutes. Typically stick to that unless it’s a single title day and then I do 5-7.
Forgot to mention multiple people commented that I have great tonality and speak really articulately
I am noticing that in every day conversations, my grammar and overall social intelligence is increasing. Even when I am not trying to be the life of the party or trying to be funny I feel a lot more calibrated and just have an intuitive knowing of what to say and when to speak for maximum effectiveness conversation wise.
I can see what Saint meant when he said “SB and Daredevil might be the foundation of peoples stacks.”
I’m not even running Stark Black and I am already picking up on that lol
If i make a stand-up comedian stack one day, this one would be in.
