Okay.

So, we did it.

Woke up naturally this morning at 6:45 AM.

Meditated with my new stack from 7:05 to 8:05 or thereabouts.

I have one experimental departure from the standard guidelines (well, technically two):

1. I am choosing to play all three of my programs on each play day.
2. (This is not an actual departure from the guidelines exactly) I am working with all Terminus² programs

My choice to play all all three programs in the same session is primarily guided by intuition. So, that’s the bottom-line. But there are points that support doing so.

For now, I’m holding to Tuesday and Saturday as my play days. After three weeks, I rest for 1 week. So, it’s basically a 28-day cycle. 3 weeks on, 1 week off.

Today, at 8:05 am, when I was done meditating with subliminals, I decided to lay back down and get more sleep. And I got about 1.5 hours to 2 hours of sleep. Encouragingly, there was some odd dream activity that felt connected to the meditation session. Interestingly, as the meditative presence grows, a corresponding dream lucidity seems to grow as well. That one’s been happening for a while.

Anyway, I planned, prepared, and anticipated running this stack for so long. It’s literally the culmination of my previous 3 years of Sub Club subliminal use. I’m sure I’ll use other subs in the future, but the point is: this is as far as my plan goes. I’ll be staying with this stack and now the focus shifts more to working with my life.

And it’s encouraging to note that, today, there are more options for working with my life and lifestyle than there were when I started my Sub Club journey. This suggests that things have been moving in good directions.

When I woke up post-meditation, and post post-meditation sleep, I was kind of zooted and zoned out. After 10 minutes, I realized, ‘Whoa! I have a meeting in 30 minutes!’ So, I revved up the pace, took a shower, and got ready for that.

Had a meeting that seemed fruitful (time will tell). And now, here we are. Ready for the rest of the day.

It feels very good to know that my ultimate stack is now fully engaged and processing.

I’ll pay attention to how my system feels over today and the next two days. Then Tuesday, if all’s well, I’ll play another loop.

Cool e-mail I got this morning:

When I was starting Taido as a kid, I didn’t worry for weeks before about making the right choice of martial art. I didn’t agonize about how hard it was going to be or how much time I’d have to put in. I just showed up at the dojo, put on my uniform, and got started.

But, as we all know, starting something new as an adult is a whole different ballgame.

We overanalyze, get stuck and overwhelmed by choices, second guess ourselves, and a whole host of other sneaky things that keep us from doing what we really need to do: just get started.

Even if the “perfect” program is sitting right in front of you, it won’t help you one bit unless you get started, and that’s often the hardest thing for people - especially beginners. So to help you out, Ryan put together this step-by-step guide to getting started with training.

Following those steps will not only help you get started, but they also help you stay consistent for long-term progress.

More cooking:

cut and sauteed Japanese sweet potato into fried strips. Was delicious and worked.

diced and stir-fried pumpkin

stir-fried snow peas

and sliced up some cucumber and just ate it raw.

Tasted good. Took out some and shared it with son. We’re home at the same time.

So, that ended up serving as a kind of appetizer.

He also wants Shake Shack. Getting some of that too.

Beginning

[Malkuth]

Walked 6 or 7 miles this evening.

That’s a good thing. Always helps with processing.

Finished Reservation Dogs last night. Love that show.

[Malkuth]

Alright.

So.

I just had a specific telepathic event occur during/after my meditation hour.

I’m currently still in the ‘Wow’ space. (Meditation just ended about 10 minutes ago.)

It was like this:

About 5 to 10 minutes into my meditation, I connected with a very specific image and memory in my awareness.

When I got married 20 years ago, one part of the ceremony was that I bought my guitar onto the pulpit area where my wife and I were standing, with the pastors behind us, and I sang to her. A song that I’d written. There were photographers on the day, and one of the images captured was that one.

That was what popped into my head.

The meditation session went on and my mind moved onto other things, though that image was still kind of in the background.

When the meditation was done, and after sitting for a minute, I checked my phone and saw that there was a WhatsApp message.

A friend of mine who is living on the other side of the world right now had WhatsApped me that precise image.

Yup. So that happened.

Guess I’ll at @SaintSovereign and @Fire since this should probably be added to some sort of list somewhere in yall’s records.

[Malkuth]

Hmm…Also, yesterday was my first day back to subs after a 10-day processing period.

So, it’s pretty striking that it happened today. Seems pretty solidly connected.

Also, the general tone of the session was calm and settled. One of those times when the session feels unpressed and unhurried.

[Yazooneh]

What do you mean with solidly connected? Is this alluding to the permanence or sturdiness of the newly accepted set of beliefs as a result to your last cycle?

[Malkuth]

You’re talking about this:

@Malkuth

yesterday was my first day back to subs after a 10-day processing period.

So, it’s pretty striking that it happened today. Seems pretty solidly connected.

My wording was a bit vague there.

I’m saying that the fact that this experience occurred so immediately after having resumed listening to subliminals (after a relatively long break from them), leads me to feel confidence in the linkage and association between 1) subliminal exposure and 2) the arising of this kind of phenomenon.

I’m usually a bit cautious about assigning causality or even association. I like to keep my hypotheses tenuous. And not assume too much.

But this one was clear enough even for me.

[Yazooneh]

do you aspire for permanent subliminals (aka, you’d only need to run a certain amount then quit forever)

or do you wish for your subliminal journey to be an alchemical process in which you go at it with all your might

@Yazooneh

or do you wish for your subliminal journey to be an alchemical process in which you go at it with all your might

Hmmm…

I aspire to think and move primarily in terms of my life path and life activities more than in terms of any particular tool, no matter how useful the tool may be.

So I want to think more about how my life is evolving than how about permanent or intense the subliminals might be.

(Even though, for now, I am still at a point where the subs are a very primary reference point and source of inspiration and encouragement; I hope and expect that this will calm down as I gain more confidence in navigating change processes.)

Anyway, to get back to your actual question: Permanent effects vs. Continuous development/Ongoing, intense evolution.

(That’s how I’m interpreting the dichotomy you proposed.)

Hmm…not a big fan of ‘cute’ answers, but I think it’s honest to say that I want both.

When I’ve completed 5th grade, I want to remember the concepts and skills that I learned in 5th grade. Those, hopefully, will be relatively stable and permanent.

At the same time, after a bit of time to rest and consolidate, I very much want to continue on to 6th grade, where I will be challenged and stimulated with questions, subjects, and tasks at which I am currently incompetent and that will guide and support me to evolve further.

I hope that this evolutionary development, this alchemical metamorphosis, can continue (cyclically) to occur and unfold for as long as I’m fortunate to be here experiencing existence.

As for “with all [my] might”, I think there are seasons for maximal effort and intensity. Sometimes.

The wisest money gets put on Sustainability and Consistency. Maximal effort is sometimes part of a Sustainable Strategy.

Got to find (and keep finding) that shifting balance-point. Between 1) wasting time and squandering resources and 2) burning out in a spectacular flash.

Like surfing.

Okay. Slow start to my day.

Woke up at 7:30 am. Today I work until 10 pm, and I have the luxury of a slow-start in the morning.

I meditated from 7:50 to 8:50 give or take. First morning appointment is at 11:30.

I seem to be okay basically. Am fairly certain that my mind is processing the stimuli from my previous sub session 2 days ago. I seem on track for my next scheduled session tomorrow.

The main thing is that I’m not at a highly focused point just yet. Still pulling things together.

I think my mind is going to need some time to find its balance.

You started running HoM yet?

[Malkuth]

@ksub

You started running HoM yet?

Did indeed, bruh.

It’s in my final custom. Just added to the stack on 10/1.

So, it’s in there processing right now.

[Malkuth]

@ksub

You started running HoM yet?

You can click on my avvie to see all of the modules in my current stack.

[ksub]

Awesome. I started HoM + EOG2 yesterday. I’ll add a custom RICH (with a lot of productivity modules) and that’s going to be my final stack for the year. And probably for a few months of next. One thing is sure though. I’m not removing HoM from my stack until December 2023. I believe in long term programming.

I ran HoM for 5 minutes and it did knock me out.
I might scale down to 3 minutes but not I’m sure if I get the whole script with 3 minutes, since HoM is so dense.

Let’s do this.

hmm…good point. I suspect that 3 minutes would still do it based on the recent posts I’m reading, but of course I don’t know.

@ksub

This makes me feel a bit better. hahaha.

In other words, yes, I know what you mean.

[Malkuth]

Running my Monday night meeting.

Not feeling particularly impressive this evening. And you know what? That’s quite alright. Also, the meeting itself is going pretty smoothly. Better than last week.

I’m just letting what comes be okay.
