I just saw the new release of Chosen: The Way of Nature.
As I was reading the product description, I was like this may be the sub I need for continuing my study. I was thinking that maybe I will stack all 3 Chosen subs together, and truly become the “chosen.”
Perhaps, the “Path to Greatness” begins with I becoming the “Chosen.”
I finally got a new pair of headphones.
Sennheiser HD569. It’s big and light enough. It also does not leak sound much. It’s also relatively cheap. (Other headphones with big earpads are much more expensive.) Only problem might be heat and moist coming from a prolonged use.
It took too much time to figure this out. I hope I’m going to be happy with this headphones for a long time. Hopefully, it does not disappoint me soon.
I will begin my next cycle next week as it’s easier to count days when starting the sub cycle from Monday.
I still have to determine what subs I will use. Here’s the list of subs I’m considering.
If you are listening to 2 titles, that’s 2 X 15 minutes = 30 minutes.
What are your goals?
Well, it wasn’t only about the subs, for 15 mins, or 30 mins, the headphones would be fine. However, for several hours of use? (For other uses than subs) I’ll have to see. I’m already finding that I will be having some adjustment periods to headphones. After all, they are bulkier than earphones.
@Kyuss
That’s a very good question. I have several goals in my life just as everyone does. (e.g. finance, love, sex, success, status, family, etc.) Lately, I have been questioning what’s the priority order of these goals (and which one takes the highest priority given my current situation), and what combination of the subs is the best for the goal given the order.
I suppose the most immediate and never ceasing goal is academic related goals as I am still in the school (although I am not taking the summer semester), but I had used QL for over a year. I don’t think I want to use QL again. (At least not this time, nor anytime soon.)
Oh and I forgot to add one sub to the list. Power Can Corrupt.
I noticed something interesting lately.
Although it’s been almost a month since I stopped listening to subs, I think I am feeling more profound effect.
Here are things I noticed.
When it comes to writing a response to people, I tend to write less. Basically, I am finding that the less I say, the better it becomes usually.
Even when I have many things to say in response, (and I write them out in the first time), I usually come back and get rid of the most of them. Then, I write a short and simple response.
I think I am taking the 48 laws of power well. It’s almost as if the response comes somewhat naturally (even before I read the stuff). (However, some questions still come when I was reading 48 laws of power.)
To summarize, it kind of felt like speaking/writing less is more, and silence can be golden.
Also, I’ve not yet listened to Power Can Corrupt. I believe these changes come from House of Medici and/or Chosen from Within. I guess they may have some overlap.
I observed these less while listening to the subs. However, I am seeing these more nowadays. I suppose subs’ effect can become more pronounced when I take break. (not a short, but a longer one)
Given this, I think I can benefit from some rests in between sub listening pattern. (in addition to the necessary break from the ZP listening schedule)
I had an interesting experience.
I attended art song concert. (I believe Lied/Kunstlied is the formal name. I may be wrong though.)
In one song, I believe I experienced synesthesia. When I was hearing this guy’s singing, I saw a color in front of my eyes. (Green, to be precise). It was a truly eye opening experience.
Perhaps, this experience is indicating that my next sub stack should include either Renaissance Man, and/or Chosen the way of nature.
I have two updates to make. One is about 48 laws of power, and the other is about natal chart.
I began reading The 48 Laws of Power although slowly, I am making a progress. I plan to read at least one law per day. I have finished reading up to law #3.
Here are several thoughts/feelings I got from reading the book.
I felt as if I am already practicing/acting the laws in my life. Perhaps, an influence of my running Medici (although I haven’t run it for an extended period.)
The laws make sense and not very difficult to understand. Again, it can be from my running Medici. (Interesting as I haven’t run PCC, but it wouldn’t be surprising Medici may have (naturally) contents related to PCC and/or the 48 laws of power)
I felt/thought the contents of the book are useful and interesting. However, I also thought/felt that I must not only be able to have a natural command of the law at will, but I must go beyond and be better than the laws. I think the feeling gets stronger as I read more.
I wonder how 48 laws of power will work in synergy with my sub stack (something I am still determining as I am still waiting to hear back a response about the triple chosen stack question (which I have also placed a support ticket for)), but I think the synergy will be great.
About natal chart, well, I stumbled upon a Venus sign calculator, and I checked mine out. I also read the description of how my Venus sign affects love affairs.
I was very shocked to read the description as the explanation was extremely close to my taste of girl/woman (and the type of love I want/desire.) It was too close that it was a bit scary. However, I felt a bit of relief as it in a way felt like it answered some unanswered and unknown questions.
I hope to get an answer to my question about chosen stack soon, an official answer in the form of reply to the thread I created or an official answer to the support ticket I placed.
I wrote that I believe a break time (other than or more than the required washout days of ZP) can benefit.
I believe I am still seeing the influence of sub even though it’s becoming almost like a month since I last listened to sub.
I got an email from a former classmate asking me about a course. It ended with us discussing about degree path.
It was intriguing to see that the person remembered how I mentioned taking that course. Once. I believe I mentioned it only once. Good memory, or I must have left some impactful impression.
In fact, this was not the last person with who I discussed/shared my thoughts about the course. I talked with two other classmates last semester about that course. (And these guys were in another class.)
I think this was an influence from either Chosen from Within or Medici. (I suspect CFW had probably more impact). I believe I was running the stack that included Medici, CFW, and Heartsong when I first discussed about that course with the two classmates. Then I continued running the sub a bit (then a forced break from ear issues), and then I got contacted by this former classmate.
I guess I was taking some sort of leader role, and perhaps building relationships. Either way, I think this can be see as the result from sub uses (medici and CFW). More results seem to bloom even when I am on the sub break.
I also wanted to write that my inquisitive nature got stronger. When there is something I need to know, plan well, and make good decisions (e.g. purchasing a right pair of headphones, and making a degree path/course plan for my next career move/next stage in my life), I have unending list of questions to a point that annoyed a person I was asking questions.
One was a member of a hifi forum, and the other is the advisor. I kind of felt sorry for both, but for the advisor I also thought, well it’s your job to help me build a degree path.
This thought made me ponder whether I’d be a cold and ruthless leader/boss when I run my own business/organization. Being cold and ruthless has its place, but I am also questioning, whether there are other and better ways to treat and manage my employees and those who work for me.
Also, I’ve begun planning and working with building degree path, about 3 weeks prior to next semester’s registration date. I guess this long term planning is related to Medici.
I suppose I could have put this with the previous post, but I thought to make it a separate one as this one is going to be about the stack list I am considering.
Innovator/wise sage with great ideas and wisdom stack
Intelligence boost stack
I am chosen stack:
Let’s build legacy with positive leadership:
Building legacy with innovation and art:
Let’s build legacy with love and attract romantic partner to build legacy with
Ultimate romance stack
Ultimate sex stack
And then there are multi-stages like Khan and EoG (which I have them, but am not sure when I’ll run)
The above are the lists I have thought about, and I have all of them except CWN, which I plan on purchasing.
Currently, I think I am mostly drawn to Innovator/wise sage with great ideas and wisdom stack, though I may do intelligence boost stack as I will be starting to do the reviews. However, since I have mostly run intelligence related sub (Quantum Limitless) I think I am less inclined to do that stack anytime soon.
Since I am also considering to start listening the sub about legacy building (as it will take time to manifest and I think this is a long term project), I may do stacks related to legacy building (meaning the one that includes HOM).
Additionally, I have gotten several readings (tarot, natal chart, and Bazi/Chinese 4 pillar reading) that indicate likelihood of meeting a romantic partner (or a soulmate). Bazi/Chinese reading indicated that either this or next year is the best year to get married. I don’t want to solely rely on these readings (I treat the readings more with fun, attitude of if it’s right, good, if not, okay), but given that almost (if not all) the readings indicate this (even the non romantic related ones say this), I suppose I may run a stack that also address this part. (The idea is that if there’s so many of them, then there’s merit to look at it or act on it.)
Anyway, I am thinking that I am more likely to run the Innovator/wise sage with great ideas and wisdom stack than the other ones. However, I’m going to go to bed, let it sit for a while, and come back to think about this with refreshed mind.
Meanwhile, I welcome your thoughts and potential modifications to the stacks I mentioned.
I have begun my sub routine.
Here’s the stack:
Medici + Stark + ?
Let me explain why I chose Medici and Stark in the first place. I have been in contact with my advisor to figure out my degree plan, and it’s going to go for a while. Since I believe that my degree path and the course choices I make would likely have impacts on my next stage of life (my career), I think it would be a good idea to bring subs that are about building legacy, bringing wealth, and making innovation (whether products or service.)
I haven’t determined the third sub for two reasons.
I see that my post count may qualify me for a rank update, so that would give me 3% discount on the purchase I would make. (Chosen the way of nature) Before I’d like to get the discount if I can. My next sub day will be tomorrow. If I can’t get the rank update in time, I may stack another sub and add chosen way of nature in the next rotation.
I am thinking whether it would be better to add renaissance man given the reason for the current sub stack. I was also thinking whether to add RICH, but I already have financial part covered by Medici and Stark, so maybe not the best one.
I still have some time to determine the third sub, until then I’ll think about this a bit more.
edit: I forgot to add that I might have messed up my sub listening schedule. I misremembered ZP instruction that I thought day 1: 2 subs, day 2: 1 sub, day 3: 2 subs, day 4: 1 sub… I basically forgot that I needed to have break days in between each days of listening. I for some reason wanted to check the instruction, and I saved myself from messing up sub schedule/routine.
My incident just demonstrated that it’s a good idea to revisit the official instruction once in a while, especially if you have taken some extended sub break (or washout).
Quick update.
I’ve decided to add Renaissance Man to the current stack.
The current stack is
Medici + Stark + Renaissance Man
All in ZP format.
Also, I am getting more information about the degree requirements. I will start build a table with different course options for different fields I may be interested to work at (for career immediately after the degree). Hopefully that can lead to another constructive engagement with my advisor, and can help finalize my degree plan.
I still have quite a bit of time to get this done, so I plan to devote much time for developing my degree plan/path.
So many choices and so many paths. I remember reading somewhere that having too many choices can paralyze the person, essentially making it similar to having no choice. I feel like I am in a similar situation. Nevertheless, I’ll try to divide and conquer, and approach the task one step at a time.
Hopefully, my sub stack (and the choice of the subs) can help me with the planning.
Quick update here.
I find that on sometimes I feel quite drained after listening to HOM + Stark. I’d be pretty much sleeping during the entire time the next day.
Some other times, I find that I am not drained as much. Perhaps, this has to do with the weather.
I don’t think I am noticing big differences after changing to the updated/upgraded ZP version. (I’ll have to see the difference on Renaissance Man though.)
On the other hand, I believe I am seeing influence of Medici. For instance, I had a session with a career advisor at the school to help determine my elective choices. (The school offers quite a lot of different electives.) I discussed some of the thoughts with the advisor with a few different routes in mind, but apparently, the route of finance/consulting/business analytics seems to have hit the advisor hardest. Besides, I have felt that I would prefer to be in the higher role than doing grunt level work. (I have felt like this even before running the subs though.)
Anyway, I think my thoughts seem to have become more aligned with that of House of Medici’s, so that could be something.
Also, I just finished a sub cycle, so I have a choice of going with the next stack, or running the current stack for another cycle. Currently, I am leaning towards going to a next stack. Another things to think about for sure…
After getting an answer about stack rotation from the following thread, I found that I need to stick to at least 2 cycles before rotating/changing to next stack.
Therefore, I am running the same stack again.
I’ve updated HOM and Stark to the newer ZP version. Unfortunately, Renaissance Man (RM) hasn’t gotten updated, so I’m running the older version. I’ll update RM, when the newer version is released.
Nothing much to add, except that I believe I may have added a few ideas for starting a consulting career/business after I’m done with this AI degree.
Wow, last post back in July… Well, I have been quite busy with school and internship applications.
Since I found that this has been the internship application season a bit too late, I needed to drop one course, in order to keep the workload manageable.
I have ended up applying for nearly 50 different positions (and I might apply to more). Despite the efforts, I have gotten rejected in almost all the applications (still waiting for a few positions for interview). In a sense, this has been a good practice as I am getting more used to rejection. However, I can’t get the feeling off that this has been a waste; perhaps I should have just stuck with that extra course, all that applications for nothing…
Between July and now, I have had a changes in stack, and I can’t recall all the stacks. (One reason for keeping with journal, but I’ve been busy) However, I remember that all of the stacks pretty much included HOM.
Anyway, here’s my current stack:
HOM
True Sell
Emperor Twilight Black
My previous stack:
HOM
True Sell
PCC
I made a rapid change to the previous stack. It was a stack that I stuck most of the semester. Why True Sell and PCC? Well, because I thought that applying for internships is selling myself, and I wanted to improve my selling skills. (Apparently, it has not produced great result in terms of internship application results.) Not only that, I thought writing papers, and writing discussion posts are also related to selling, selling my ideas. Therefore, the choice of True Sell. PCC was chosen, because I thought I needed to start preparing myself for the (internship) workplace environment, and I thought PCC would be great for that choice.
Then twilight black came, and I swapped it for PCC. Why emperor black? I thought that I could use a short boost (since it was exam time), and I am thinking of doing something intensively during the break. (I have yet to decide what I will do during the break.) Therefore choosing emperor black.
One thing I noticed about emperor black is that it gets you to focus anything quite intensely, perhaps too intensively.
That’s it for this update, and next time I come back, I hope I come back with a good news.
I tried Emperor Twilight Black for two cycles, and I found that I did not go on hyper mode. At moments, I was feeling like going to go on hyper mode, but more than half of the times, I wasn’t. (I sort of had a plan for going hyper, but I ended up not doing that.) Instead, I suppose I was on a hyper break/play mode.
Perhaps, that was what was necessary. Anyway, I ended up running Emperor twilight black during the break time (so break from the school). The plan was to go crazy with internship applications. However, my motivation sort of died. This leads to my next point.
I have gotten quite a lot of rejections from the internship applications. Also, I have lost interests in the material I have studied for a while. (Perhaps a better way of putting it would be the interesting stuff has become less interesting, and I am now somewhat disappointed in the subjects I am learning.)
Instead, I have developed a strong urge to start building a business that would be location independent. Also, I have developed a strong feeling that I want to outsource most of the necessary work of the business to someone else.
I wonder if this is the influence of HOM. After all, it is probably the sub that I have ran for the longest period of time.
Also, because I ran emperor black for two terms, I have dropped it. I was considering what I was going to run, and I was strongly attracted to the Ecstasy of Gold. Perhaps, not the best one to run it while I am in the school. Regardless, I felt very strong feelings to start running that title, so it’s now in my stack.
My current stack:
True Sell
HOM
Ecstasy of Gold stage 1
Since Ecstasy of Gold is a multistage title, I thought about running it alone. However, I also thought that if I were to drop HOM and True sell (or just True sell), it would be changing the more than one title in the stack, which may be against the guideline of switching/cycling the ZP stacks. Therefore, I just swapped emperor black with Ecstasy of Gold.
Anyway, it seems that my current stack is very highly finance/business oriented, and I am not sure how that’s going to work out while I am in the school. Hopefully, I will think of great business opportunities/plans while in the school, and perhaps I may be able to start something light that I can also do while in school.
Let’s see how this will play out.
Oh wow, it’s been a such a long time since I came back and wrote the report… I don’t know where to begin.
Basically, I need to first say that I stopped with the above stack (True Sell, HOM, EOG stage 1), due to my left eardrum injury. I listened to that for a month. I switched the stack for Paragon complete (only Paragon), and I listened to that for a month. Then, I stopped listening to any subs, because I wasn’t sure how long it was going to take my ear to fully heal, and I wanted to switch my stack to other things as soon as my ear fully healed.
The journey of ear healing took a little longer than I hoped. First, I heard (from my search online) that it usually takes about a month to two for ruptured eardrum to fully heal. So around the first and second week I had visited the doctor a few times to get the ear checked. After two weeks, the doctor wanted to see me after 2 weeks. I visited the doctor, so that would have marked a month. My symptoms were almost gone (nearly the same hearing capability, almost no tinnitus, no pain, no feeling of muffled ear, etc.), but apparently it wasn’t fully healed, so the doctor had me come back in a month.
I visited the doctor a month later (2 months mark), but there was another problem. The trouble was that since my ear was very sensitive, the doctor was not able to clean my ear fully when he first saw me. (I nearly fainted during the cleaning process.) He was cleaning my ear (manually instead of using some machine), and cleaned up quite a bit, but the doctor didn’t have a clear sight to my eardrum. Therefore he wasn’t sure whether I was fully healed, and wanted me back in a month, or two. I suspected that I was fully healed at this point as I had no pain, no tinnitus, no pain, and the same hearing capability on both ears.
I planned on visiting the doctor a month later, but by that time, I got cold (transferred from a family member), and I obviously didn’t want to get my ear checked by that time. (Well what would happen if I cough when the doctor is using endoscope in my ear?) I suppose I could have visited the doctor for cold, but I have always had pretty much not good experiences visiting a doctor for cold. (Well, my last visit to ENT doctor for cold resulted in getting a flu… symptoms worsened…)
So I waited another month to visit the doctor, and the doctor checked both ears and confirmed that my eardrum is fully healed. (Finally)
With that out of the way, here’s my new stack.
Inner Gate Ultimate Programmer
Renaissance Man Ultimate Writer X
Khan Black The Crucible
It’s quite different from the previous stack and here’s why. The first two is related to what I am currently studying. (Though the more I study what I do, the more I find that I would prefer to delegate what I study to others and focus on ideas and strategies…) The third one, Crucible, I don’t know, I felt like taking it.
Now with these in my stack, am I doing anything different? Nothing much as I don’t know too much about sexual energy practices and such. No semen retention practices either… I am like doing set and forget, and do what I do method.
Regardless, I have noticed a few interesting things.
Another thing I sort of did at times was trying to visualize the sexual energy travelling inside of me. So it would travel from my testicles up to the brain, and then go back down to my balls. After I switched to stage 2 (I’ve done a cycle of stage 1, and then moved to stage 2). now I sort of practiced it to energy going from my testicles to brain, and from brain, it spreads down to the entire body to the entire end.
Stronger, and more frequent erections. I tend to get more random erections. Also, I noticed that I get stronger and more frequent boners when I wake up. (So morning wood, but my sleep cycle is somewhat messed up that I don’t wake up in the morning.)
More sexual dreams. In last two days, I have had sexual dreams. Two days ago, I had a dream in which a woman was giving me a titjob. Yesterday, I had a dream in which I was married to some girl, and it was somewhat extensive of a dream (that included many other things other than sexual stuff), which ended up with cuddling, snuggling, making out, and almost leading to sex, but waking up.
The funny thing about the dreams was that both of these girls in the dream were someone I have seen before. If I remember correctly they were probably from some TV shows.
I don’t know how things will go with the current stack, but it’s going in an interesting path. It has remnants of my previous stack (a strong influence), and it seems that it’s been mixed with the current stack, especially the crucible…
A few days ago, I revisited the stack rotation instruction page.
I found out that I have been rotating in a wrong way… Well, I didn’t see the extra 7 day rest day. I suppose I really haven’t had problem so far, but perhaps I could have gotten better results.
Still, I think this stack rotation may be challenging, because of two different resting days. From now on, I guess I will just take 12 days off with the entire stack just to keep it consistent. I find it that without having the same break days, it will be more prone to messing up the listening schedule.
Anyway, I have move to the stage 3 of Khan black, so here’s my current stack.
Inner Gate Ultimate Programmer
Renaissance Man Ultimate Writer X
Khan Black The Crucible Stage 3
Here are a few things I noticed.
Feeling anxious when not being productive or not getting work done.
I don’t know if this is a form of recon, but I find that if I don’t get to work, or do something productive I feel anxious. However, it isn’t out of control anxiety. It’s a mild form of anxiety. Still, I have been feeling it. However, what is interesting is that if I had already in mind about taking a break, or when to take a break, it doesn’t make me anxious. What makes me anxious is when I sort of set a time to get some work done, but couldn’t get it started (either because I didn’t know how to start, or the task was difficult to start), I felt anxious. Once I started to get to work, the anxiety subsided.
In the end, this made me more productive.
Increase in my “manhood” size.
I haven’t explicitly measured its size, but I think it increased in size. The result is less noticeable in erection, but was somewhat apparent with placid. Also, I noticed that I tended to have 5~10% erection in many cases. (Quite common). As mentioned previously, stronger and more frequent erections were observed, and pretty much every time I wake up from sleep or nap, I’d get erection (morning wood).
Not as interested in heavy pornographic/sexual material, but find more naturalistic things exciting/enjoyable.
As mentioned, I haven’t really tried to practice no fapping, or preserving sexual energy practice, so I didn’t try to cut back on porn or other similar materials. However, I am finding them less enjoyable. Well, I had this effect before, but I am experiencing this more pronouncedly. However, what I am finding is that I am getting massively turned on from girls who are just sexy, but who isn’t trying to be explicitly pornographic or sexual. In other words, I am getting more turned on and interested in from non pornographic or sexual settings. I suppose I may say I am getting more turned on from naturalistic settings, or more naturalistic looking girls than the girls in artificial pornographic settings.
Noticing energy less.
Unlike stage 1, I am experiencing the energy less… Perhaps this is because of my not so perfect stack rotations (forgetting that 7 days).
Ghosting
This may not be related, but I was working on something (working on formulating business ideas and such) with a classmate. This was a classmate I had known for a while, and been in contact for a while. Suddenly, the classmate just ghosted on me, ignoring my message and mails. Well, after my third attempt, I decided to move on, and work on my own. I don’t know if Khan Black and sexual energy had anything to do with this, but I thought to report it on regardless. FYI, I have never met this person online or even face time.
Sexual energy capacity
Well, even before Khan Black, or when I was in 20s, I think I had lots of sexual energy. Just didn’t really have good exits (a.k.a. girlfriend/fb, etc.). It’s like a cup completely filled of water. Now, I think I am sort of experiencing this. After I hit early 30s, I sort of had a drop of this, more comfortable, but now I am again feeling the similar feel, feeling like full of sexual energy, like the water completely full of the cup, just about to spill over. In that was, I almost feel like the release (e.g. via fapping/masturbation) doesn’t really affect my sexual energy/stamina. It doesn’t really drain me, hence why the feeling no need to practice no fapping/semen retention. Let’s say say I feel like I naturally have a really fast sexual energy filling capacity. At the same time, I don’t think my capacity to hold sexual energy is big. In other words, my cup is small, it’s not a bowl. (Cup/bowl to hold sexual energy).
Though this may be the case, I find that I am not really controlled by sexual energy unlike in my 20s. (That had caused some trouble with my discipline).
In other words, I think I feel the same high sexual energy as I was in 20s, but without the sexual energy having very much, if not complete control over it.
That’s it for now, and I will come back with more report when I can, and if I have something to report.
