Day 16 - Rest - 12/15/2023
Where do I begin? So pretty early into this cycle, not sure when, probably within the first week, I had an insight about locks and keys.
Everything that you want in life is locked behind a door, the key is in your mind, if youāve failed to get it, itās because you havenāt found the right key yet. Itās actually super practical: find the proper mental frame, and you will get exactly what you ask for.
When it comes to problem solving, itās also very practical: if youāve approached the same problem and failed to solve it, and youāve always approached it with the same mind set (mental frame, whatever you wanna call it), then you donāt have the right mind set.
There is an odd spiritual aspect to this insight that I wish I could explain, but itās rather difficult. The best way that I can describe it, is to say that thought energy isnāt linguistic, and that language itself is somewhat inert, there are no magic words or words of powerā¦I mean there are, but there actually arenāt. So, you might be saying in your head āI love myself, I love myself, I love myselfā and even though you are saying the words, the words arenāt connecting to the intended stream of thought energy, they are misconnected, and actually connected to a different stream of energy thatās associated with things that you arenāt intendingā¦Iāll save all this for the book Iām working on, Iāve got time to make it more cogent.
Long story short, if you fail, youāre thinking and mental frame was wrong, nothing more, nothing less.
What this has meant for me is that Iāve spent the whole cycle being introspective and investigating my mind. Whenever something āoldā comes up (an old mental frame) I get rid of it and replace it with a new one, and the reason why is that my old mental frames havenāt worked for me.
Those that work have stayed, but anything thatās lead to questionable results, Iām working daily to squash.
Iām also seeking newness in my experiences just to break the chains of habit, get me out of my comfort zone, and to trigger new mental states.
Keeping my word is a training exercise that makes me a more powerful human being. The more often I keep my word, the more I train myself to be the kinda person that keeps his word, the more often my word will carry power and significance.
Show power, never speak about it. Let your reputation and aura of power enter the room before you do, let it speak for you, then follow behind it with a pleasant smile and an openness to those around you.
Finally, stay open to the transformation, no matter where it leads me. Just trust and let the transformation happen.
Practical, Concrete Results
At the start of the cycle, I was $1500 dollars BEHIND on past due bills with no clear way to save myself. Within 3-5 days of the cycle, I quit my day job. In The last 10 days, working for myself, I have paid all past due bills ($1500 debt eliminated).
- On track for full financial recovery by the 1st of Jan
- On track for financial surplus by 1st of Feb
At the start of the cycle, my love life was dry. By day 2 or 3, I got a big influx of matches on dating apps (without taking any action) and now Iāve got a new girl that Iāve seen several times and who might be the next GF, time will tell. This girl is cute and I would say that sheās the āhighest qualityā woman that Iāve been with so farāI donāt like such crude descriptions, but they get the point across.
- Still getting new matches on dating apps
- No desire to take action on those because I now see that women are abundant so I might as well see what happens with the current lady.
My ability to visualized is transformed. Itās transformed so much that I actually didnāt fully believe it was possible to visualize the way I now do. If youāve never had an experience, itās really hard to imagine what it will be like until youāve had it, savvy?
The following are abilities that Iāve gained: i.e. abilities that Iāve NEVER HAD BEFORE
- Vivid visuals with open and closed eyes
- Multi-sensory imagination
- Photographic memory: this started with photographic recall of images that Iāve already seen, recently Iāve been able to photographically recall pages of books to remember quotes that I was looking for.
- Visual problem solving: you know that scene in Sherlock Holmes where he imagines how the fight will go before he fights the guy and it happens almost exactly how he imagined? Yes, now Iām not THAT powerful, but thatās what it feels like. It feels like I can imagine what will happen and then make a choice based on that information. That skill had a HUGE impact on my ability to stick to the fast, because I was able to overcome the animal mind by SEEING what my actions would cause
- Small evidence of visual projection. I havenāt started training this skill yet, but Iāve had a couple spontaneous instances that have suggested that I should be able to learn the skill.
Rapid mindset transformation.
- Seeking new experiences
- Positivity
- Inner strength and the knowing that I can handle anything that life throws my way
- Letting go of old hurts
- Forgiving people that have hurt me and myself for hurting them. If they knew better, they wouldnāt have hurt me, if I knew better, I wouldnāt have hurt them. How can I really hate anybody for these mistakes, the only one whoās responsible is the me of today who can choose not to repeat mistakes of the past.
Increased physical strength. This one is interesting because it felt, very clearly, like I was just unlocking strength that I should already possess but havenāt been able to access. For a little bit of background, Iāve always considered myself weaker than I appear and itās because I instinctively hold back in the gym because Iām scared of injury. Emperor seems to be changing that.
So much more that I probably canāt even say. If I were to list EVERY LITTLE result, then Iād probably explode because so many small things happen daily that itās really tough to keep up with it all.
