haha yeah, I guess thats this membrane to getting to a reality of becing respected.
Just came back from an Ayahuasce retreat from some brazilian guys.
There hugging is standard. Everyone hugs everyone. And I Dont like to be touched by strangers.
Being the one to say no to hugs and even handshakes put up quite intense reactions. But I am proud for staying true to my boundaries. Ironically people want to touch me even more the more I tell them that I dont want to be touched.

Many people simply donât know how to respect ones personal space.
Energy transfer is real, good on you for being selective.

I would never hug and touch strangers /others during the active phase of a ceremonial plant medicine session
1-2 days afterwards OK.
Good Boundarys you have and nice how you set them, more of that buddy more, you have self respect and its fully OK and your right to have them and instill them

Yes, it was crazy that this guy works since 20 years with plantsâŚbut there it is normal to hug after the ceremony is over. I guess i found the differejce between proper peruvian curanderismo and that brazilian church work.

If you can hug and discuss and share your experience after a ceremony then the potency of the medicine is super low.
Canât imagine to hug and chat after a life altering dose of medicine
Find the pearl under all the curanderos and your good for life.
They are two different titles with two different aims. Both are good at what they do. All depends on the outcomes youâre looking for.

Not Saint obviously lol but the objectives and theme are completely different between DRR and GLM so I think thereâs no comparison. There is gonna be an updated Regeneration which will be under Dragon Reborn line, now that might be a better comparison and might be a better choice for healing with anti-recon.

I read a post by saint that said glm might be the best healing sub till date. So I asked my question to clarify this.

Understood. The healing effect of GLM isnât the main goal â itâs produced by the interaction of all the features together, but it produces a very distinct effect. With DR: Regeneration, weâre deliberately tapping into that effect (with its own scripting, since itâs a DR title).
But itâs still different than DR: Red and DR: Gold, since that has additional scripting outside of healing.

I know we have some hype coming up with new released, but letâs not forget the OG detachment sub, GLM.
I reduced a bit my exposure over the weekend and I lean on what I feel is pre-depression energy.
I was never able to totally enjoy socializing, making jokes and express myself since I got it (depression), never came back 100%⌠And now Iâm feeling like when recon is low, that energy is coming back.

Did a loop of GLM + PS yesterday to give myself some courage to actually ask her out, I started to imagine myself just doing it in a bold, direct and masculine way, feeling like I can actually do it easily and I actually meant to do it.
But now, suddenly, I donât know if i actually want her, before GLM + PS I couldnât stop thinking about her and I really wanted her, now, I donât really care, I donât really know if I want to put on the effort and take her on dates.

So whenever I listen to this program, no matter what I am feeling there will always be a subtle joy. However it is more surface level. Beneath that the weight of the past few years is still there for me. So I am suspecting it will take more than a few cycles to really go deeper. I want happiness and joy to be at the core of my existence. Where whatever happens Joy will always be present in my life. I want to live with that kind of integrity where joy is not given away for anything. My inner experience of life will be absolutely in my hands.
Usually when I listen this that joy scripting hits me, then the day after it may arise but third washout day usually it already fades or it is fleeting. I have been running this since release.
I am always feeling mixed emotions, for example joy will be there but on a deeper level I am experiencing depression, lethargy and just I donât know like a sense of failure or something. Not sure what it is but something that puts me down.
How to overcome all of this? I am basically not happy with my life and I want more success, to live a better and happier life with greater freedom and admiration from the people around me. To unlock my potential and live with purpose.

Damn, every time I add back GLM, the jiterness and anxiety that sometimes comes from coffee or energy drinks is gone, I only get the energy boost without the mental and physical side effects.

You should try paraxanthine for that

You did the first step, outlining your goals:
- Happiness and Joy (core)
- Success
- Admiration
- Purpose
- Potential
- Better life
You wonât achieve all this with GLM alone. So, the next step is building a road map of the subs that align with those goals. The genesis titles are a good starting point.

Could you do me a favour. Copy and paste the description of Godlike Masculinity into an LLM and then paste your comment in there too
I just did it now to see if it would help and it was quite insightful.
Here is a snippet:
Your experience makes complete sense, and what youâre describing is actually a sign that the program is working - youâre just encountering deeper layers that need time to transform.
Whatâs Happening
Youâre experiencing what could be called âsurface joy with deep grief.â The program is successfully installing that âsubtle joyâ at the conscious level, but beneath that, youâre carrying what sounds like accumulated emotional weight from recent years. This isnât a failure - itâs actually valuable awareness. Many people canât even feel these deeper layers.
The fact that the joy fades by the third washout day suggests your system is still integrating the programming rather than it becoming your new baseline. This is normal when dealing with deeper emotional patterns.
Edit: Iâll paste the rest of the answer in your journal if thatâs alright

Yes please go ahead and thank you for sharing. I could have actually not worded it better. I donât know what LLM means but I suspect it is an AI like chatgpt?
Little after feeling like this my sister called me voicing her concerns she had an issue with another family member. Last time I felt like this another situation happened with family, I shifted back to Alchemist St1 and last time it was also heavily working on family situations for me, perhaps because that is a spiritual or energy block for me or something. But last time it somehow helped to support my family members without me doing much. Perhaps a long term run of this stage can help improve the situation lets see.
After some long conversations and phone calls today I feel really good!

Hey, yeah LLM means Large Language Model. So, you have things like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
Personally, I use Claude
Hope the post in your journal gives you a few thoughts and ideas
