Cycle 31, Day 5: New Emperor (7 mins), HoM (5 mins)
I’m doing an experimental listening pattern for this cycle until I feel the recon is distracting.
So far so good.
I want to increase my exposure to the New Emperor, within reason. Fire had mentioned this pattern recently and to be honest, I have been thinking of experimenting with this pattern since last year.
My best results from major ZPv1 titles was when I was running all three titles on the same day, every other day. Full loops.
ZPv2 max is more substantial so I’m probably not going to do that. Right now, in this cycle, two titles max in a day every other day seems alright for me. With regards to customs, I don’t know yet.
As for results, so far I have not noticed that aggressive vibe I seemed to have given off on Emperor ZPv2 from time to time, and my interactions have been okay for the most part.
I didn’t notice hostilities from men and aloofness from women. That being said this also didn’t happen all the time in ZPv2, only that when it did I took note of it because it was detrimental to what I wanted.
I don’t know if HoM has mitigated that or New Emperor is vibing better with me, my personality and own signature aura, but I’m quite patient right now, and my mood is stable, almost akin to Khan.
Lastly as a bonus, my sense of humor has been good as well.

I’m thinking if I should share this in my public journal or cut it and paste it in my private one. I respect this forum and it’s rules.
I was reading a thread on here where religion was mentioned. I almost wrote my own thoughts, however it’s probably not going to be helpful nor fruitful. Discussions like that rarely ends well.
I’ve always been and will always be respectful of other people’s spirituality and beliefs as long as I don’t see it harming other people, or fostering inequality, exploitation or prejudice.
I am still inside the religion that I was born to, although I may not agree with everything that this religion does or has done, I have my own mind, and my moral compass is my best guide if what I’m doing does not feel right.
Don’t steal, don’t take advantage of people, be kind, be generous and giving when I can, try my best not to be the cause of another person’s suffering etc.
I’m not perfect, far from it but these are the basics for me.
It’s the best I could hope for, admittedly spirituality is not my strong suit, and many others know more than I do, but I’d like to think my brief stay on this planet is of benefit not only to myself but to those I care for and not a detriment.
When I was young, I dreamed to be in politics, but now I accept that I don’t have what it takes. Best thing for me is to be financially capable and help those that I want to help directly, and move the mountains I want moved with my own resources.
It’s a terrible truth that I’ve realized through painful lessons in my life but money does make the world go round, and many times a person is judged by the weight of his wallet. In my years of plenty I’ve had many with me, when I was down and out, I was alone.
I do not write this with hatred or anger but it is what it is. I learned my lesson, and be that as it may, I still want many in my life, and to enjoy my journey with others.
I don’t think I’ve shared this here in my recollection but I do pray, and a big part of that prayer is guidance. I pray whatever I do (this includes subs) changes my life for the better and to help me be the best that I could be so I can be the hero in my odyssey that I always hoped I would become.
It’s a deeply personal thing, but prayer has been with me through the many ups and downs of my life, perhaps it’s my own form of meditation, or my way to reach out to a higher power that knows me infinitely better than I could know myself.
I remember when I was running RoM, I felt so good listening to this song. My mind was so busy and noisy at the time, and yet this peaceful melody penetrated that cacophony of noise and for a brief moment I had that connection, and I had no words. I was reminded of that Michelangelo painting where Adam has his hand outstretched to the divine.
Along with prayer and meditations, a positive mindset and disposition, courage, strength of character, education, marketable skills, tools like high quality subliminals to help my subconscious and conscious mind to be my friend and ally, so I do not inadvertently get in my own way or put up unnecessary challenges and difficuties, and live the good life I’ve always dreamed of and change my reality for the better.
