I was reading that and I was like hmmmm. Then took a look at your modules you’ve got right now. Safety Net and You Are Not Alone are shining through big time in this post. Anyway I appreciate it. As someone that’s played that losing game for most of my life I legit thought that’s how it went.
The reason why I’m not a fan of the abundance mindset is that it may keep you in your comfort zone, feeding you illusions like; I don’t need to pounce on that opportunity since there will be more to come, so let’s just keep it cool, saving my energy, staying in my comfort zone, whilst no opportunity presents itself twice, ever. Whilst when you’re focused on the opportunity, carefully considering it and knowing the right timing there’s a much higher probability that the opportunity will lead to success than when you just think; I have plenty options, why bother? Maybe another time? Instead of making the most of what you have and what the opportunity has brought to the table. That’s why I suggested implementing an “opportunist” scripting into each (?) title.

This is becoming, more and more, my sticking point in life.
Is there a sub, or a tool, or a paradigm, or a resource, or a practice, or SOMETHING, that can help me figure this out?
To me, the most ironic part of it all is that the only absolutely vital prerequisite for confidently loving yourself is:
[drum roll]
confidently loving yourself.
Yup, it’s based on nothing but itself.
Rules and Regs
All the rules that we or anyone make up to ‘justify’ it are just that: empty and made-up.
Not to say that they’re useless or invalid or ‘wrong’ per se. But they’re utterly made up.
A bunch of people decide over some years on the rule to how a group of people should bounce a ball and try to throw it into a net.
Because those rules are taken seriously and stick, millions of people are then able to enjoy watching basketball.
The rules are simultaneously 100% made-up and 100% real.
If you go into the game and break the rules you will be booed out the stadium by the millions of people who now support those rules.
So, they’re real.
On the other hand, you can do the leg work and campaign and gather supporters to play a completely different game. It may take time (40 to 100 years), but eventually you may have a completely different game with a different set of rules.
And those new rules?
Also utterly made-up. Also utterly real.
The misunderstanding people have is that Arbitrary somehow equals Easy.
Not at all.
Standing in your chosen version of Arbitrary, Made-up Bullshit may be the hardest skill that there is. That’s why people are constantly seeking external validation and precedents for points and positions that, at the end of the day, we just made up.
“it’s been done this way for 1000 years!”
(yup. and 1000 years ago, people just made it up.)
“science and empirical data support it!”
(yup, and science and data support about 1000 other alternatives, but this is the made-up option that you prefer.)
“Most people are doing it this way.”
(yup, and with enough time and influence, most people will be doing it another way.)
and on and on.
There is no escape from the reality that we are Creators. Influencing and being Influenced.
Might as well strive to get as close as we can to the Zero Point of creation, and try to get more of a handle on it. Until the current churns us up and spits us out again.

I think you guy’s have the same point, but just definitions of an abundance mindset.
From my perspective, somebody stuck in scarcity will be too focused on the negative in their life, the not having “enough”, to recognize the opportunities around them, because their R.A.S is looking for more things to confirm their existing belief of lack, or not having, where as the the person who believes in abundance, that their is an infinite supply of wealth and opportunity will readily spot, and act on the opportunities.

It’s this mindset that leads to the issue, and I’m not even trying to be funny or condescending. The things you listed are merely tools — the knowledge of who you are has to be developed from within through experience and intuition.
But if I must recommend anything, it would be meditation and relaxation. If you are religious, structured scheduled moments of quiet devotion. Moving meditation if it fits you better (like Qigong, which works well for me). Anything in which there is silence and calmness, as it’s in these moments that your subconscious speaks to you.
But be warned, must people’s minds are so conditioned to hide their shadow and project it instead that it can be EXTREMELY difficult to go very deep.

Yes, this is a valid concern of the abundance mindset, that’s why we include so much action taking. Well stated.

Total Breakdown has helped me in that regard immensely. I suppose it “happened” due to removing lots of unnecessary, and “artificial” (not resonating with my real self) layers.

Quite often, it happens that the ability to spot opportunities even in the most mundane situations and pouncing on them with boldness and confidence lead to great results. That’s how I see the general framework of the “opportunist” scripting.

Yeah I definitely don’t expect the tools to do the work for me, but at the same time, “knowing yourself” is so nebulous and I feel stuck asking HOW?
Cultivate moments of stillness 
Thank you Saint, I appreciate you, as always 
AKA don’t expect instant results, and keep at it, as it might be a slog. Copy that!
That and most people don’t understand what it is or why it’s there
Who else are you supposed to be, but yourself?
So, you’re saying, work on yourself and expose that within yourself so that you can be yourself.
The best version of yourself is still yourself. In fact, the best version of yourself CAN ONLY be yourself.
How can being yourself attract the “wrong” woman? You attract what you are, at the level you are.
Some people - including people we date - help us to grow into the best version of ourself by showing us aspects of our psychology that are limiting us. People attracting narcissistic individuals, for instance.
There is no such thing as the “wrong” or “right”, except subjectively.
Another subjective argument.

My limited understanding of the shadows is it represent facets of your authentic self that you refuse to acknowledge right which stems from fear ?. I think I know this because I felt that initially when running ASBR. However when I coupled this with BL and TB its been much easier to resonate with ASBR.
Why is that ?
I see it clearly on Primal and SSX. I’ve always known that I had all it takes to be an ultra social and political “animal”, charmer and seducer, and this is what Primal, TWTP and SSX unlocked almost instantly by widening the doorway between my mind and my reality. Now I’ve been seeing only gradual progress in the aforementioned aspects.
I intuit that what unlocked those potentialities was a powerful subconscious focus aimed at unlocking them, the scripting caused that, of course.
The greatest thing is I can finally tap into those potentialities, and even expand them. I see it every day now.
Thank you… I’m grateful to you, guys, for that amazing tech.

Well, of course, I don’t know the mechanism nor do I attempt to make any guess, and I’m not referring to that mechanism right now, but I’m just doing philosophies (Ontology, to be precise) mixed with classical logic to say that the nature of “just being” is passive (inherently inactive “physically”, and limited to self-awareness and subjective epistemology) and entirely succumbs to changes imposed on it by external influences/events, filtered by its subjective epistemology (an individual way of experiencing and understanding). However, that “state” of being is never static nor permanent but is in fact a process, the never-ending process of becoming something else than it is right here and right now, in this moment.
How it applies to ZP?
As, I said I don’t know the mechanics and I can base my conclusion on my individual subliminal experience only, yet I can tell that ZP aids you in becoming towards yourself (towards your perfect/ideal self, someone you’re meant to be, towards your “destiny”) which is a perpetual transformation highly based on self-discovery (discovering your perfect/ideal self, someone you’re meant to be, your “destiny”) which is also a never-ending process. On top of that, there’re also “intellectual, volitive, and physical movements” (aka action) which are strongly aided by ZP and constitute the transformation. That’s how I experience the very core of ZP.
I wonder if it was more “practical” if the focus of ZP was more on becoming than being. That’s the whole point I’m making criticizing the idea of “just being”. And again, maybe ZP is already optimized in its focus on becoming as I don’t know the mechanics. I’m just sharing, as always.

I see it differently.
Granted, terms like ‘Just being’ can potentially be interpreted in many, many different ways, but if we’re getting practical about this, I would say that, in the context of this discussion, it does not really refer to a ‘passive ontological state of no action’.
The person who is stuck and who needs help discovering ‘who they really are’ is not necessarily ‘taking no action’ or being inactive.
The person may be taking copious action. The problem is their action is out of INTEGRITY.
Try thinking less unitively about human ontology and epistemology.
In other words, don’t think of one person as equaling ‘one thing’.
We are much more like ‘committees’ than like pure individuals. One person is like a group of many forces and parts that are striving for coordination.
And typically to achieve that sense of coordination, we take many shortcuts. Rather than doing the work of figuring out how to healthily include a given part of ourself, we take the shortcut of just ignoring that part and pretending it’s not even there.
That’s how we’re, typically, ‘Not being ourselves’. And the truth is, this ‘not being oneself’ takes a whole lot of energy (and ‘Action’) to do.
The payoff however is that it’s simpler and faster to achieve and also it creates a convincing illusion of Certainty. That’s pretty seductive in itself. Which is why it’s so normal to do it.
Enter Zero Point.
Zero Point is like a coach or diplomat who ‘handshakes’ with and is friendly to all 100, 200, or 300 members that make up this Committee of You.
It encourages them to take the time and to do the necessary creative work to include more of their voices, their attributes, and their priorities into that final picture that receives the label of ‘Me’.
This requires more initial work, but leads ultimately to a much more satisfying result, because it better reflects MORE of who you are, MORE of the potential that was always laying, immanent and unused, within you.
Zero Point improves the teamwork—the creative communication and effective coordination—between the parts that make up what and who you are
So it’s not a case of Action versus No Action; it’s a case of Higher-quality Action vs. Lower-quality Action.
(Of course, all of this is opinion.)

That’s the single best insight I’ve ever read on the forums and it has really profound practical implications for working with ZP.
Our mind is not a singular stream but a vast ocean of our unique plurality that is always craving, and striving for singularity. However, often it’s satisfied with the feel of singularity, attained through self-deception.
The task for ZP would be working with that vast plurality, beyond the self-deception, in order to facilitate the movement towards the singularity, or, using your nomenclature, the movement towards the higher levels of coordination.
Our job is to identify those elements that would need support in that movement, target them with ZP, and work on them.
Just my understanding.

“Given that Wanted Black’s aura is very much one of “I’m just trying to smash,” between that and the free will scripting, there’s no need to be deceitful when engaging in a sexual relationship.”
I’m wondering about this part of the description, on one hand, I love the whole “just be the best version of yourself” description, along with pretty much 95% of the description (charisma, fun, intimacy, unforgettable etc.), on the other hand, I’m a certified hopeless romantic and do not want to give off fuckboy vibes… Stacking with heartsong in hope to turn this to the aura of a long lasting lover.
Maybe primal will do the trick, hmm…
