1/25 Morning Time!
He sat near the fire, letting the warmth of the flame remove the imagined chill from his bones. As he hugged his knees to his chest, he struggled to replay his last moments in his mind’s eye, but his memories were hazy and incomplete.
—------------------------------------------------
The group had been attacked by the honor guard of a corrupted god. Elven sisters, numbered three, standing guard over that decayed slimy husk for who knows how long. The guardians attacked the party as soon as they stepped foot on the stone platform where their deity resided. The swordswoman rushed the group as their wizard started slinging spells and their archer fired volley after volley. Thar had seemingly softened the guardians up with his Fireballs, but the swordswoman was very tough, taking both a Stunning Strike and a Radiant Punch from the monk before she fell, in addition to the many other attacks landed by the party.
The half-elf rushed forward to engage the other two, letting whatever anger he felt at the mental goads of “Halfbreed” fuel his strides. None could move as fast as he!
Once he was close enough, he invested most of his Chi into a flurry of Sun Bolts. Small orbs of golden light repeatedly left his palms and zipped through the air, landing on the elven sorceress while the archer dodged out of the way.
The elven sorceress, bleeding dark ooze from her numerous wounds, cast something as she thrust her staff forward with a shout. Ice streamed forth.
And that was it. He died.
Just gone.
And then back. His light surged back into his body from elsewhere. A seemingly familiar bird was merging into a stone cube held aloft by T. Feanoth; then it wasn’t a bird, but a crystal. The elven sisters were melting into ooze and that vile flow was seeping into the stone. The husk of a god was not in sight, and his companions were picking themselves up as well.
Then he could move again.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------
He felt sort of stretched inside, in his spirit. It was hard to put into words. Maybe the feeling will go away at some point.
Not much point in dwelling on it.
His attention turned within, summoning his inner flame in his mind’s eye; feeding it everything. Anger, sadness. Rage, despair. Chills. Sweats. Hunger and Thirst. All fed the flame until his mind was empty, save for his flickering inner light.
He stretched his arms out to his side and abruptly sprang to his feet, inhaling the crisp night air deep into his lungs. As he exhaled, his eyes settled on a patch of grass near the treeline that looked suitable for formwork. The physical exercise would help nurture his body, and thus his spirit. The half elf excused himself and walked over to the spot he had picked out.
He stood there, feet and knees together. Hips lightly tucked. Back straight, eyes forward, ears up. Left hand over right, both resting just below his navel. Breathing slowly and deeply and fully.
After assuming the First Position, the monk held still for an endless moment.
He had access to all the many different exercises and meditations that he knew from this pose.
Which way to go? The initial thought upon seeing that patch of grass was to go through his martial art form exercises. He knew how each routine should feel, and the monk wanted to ensure that there was no lingering stiffness from being magically frozen to death. It would be a good choice. As long as he kept to the Initiate forms, there would be no disturbing his companions with the Radiance displayed in the advanced knowledge.
Then in his mind’s eye, in the void around his inner flame, a Golden Orb appeared. It hung there, in front of his Fire, glowing with soft light. His normal perception of Radiance came through as a clear piercing light, but this orb was translucent. While the majority of its light was reflected within itself, the small portion that was escaping exuded great power.
The Golden Orb meditation. He considered it. It was the most advanced meditation he had learned before leaving the monastery. One had to demonstrate thorough knowledge of it as one of the prerequisites to Sojourn. A complete working of his Chi, it had many applications, insight and understanding among them.
Very well. He inhaled deeply, pulling a large amount of air into his belly, then chest. He opened his feet while keeping his heels pressed together, creating a wide angle. Once opened enough, his weight shifted to the front pad of his feet, rising up on his toes as his heels then opened up. His hands dropped from his belly and then rose, each one slowly lifting up each side until his hands were over his head, palms facing the night sky.
His feet now shoulder width apart, he settled back onto his heels, and he exhaled slowly as he brought his hands down in front of him, parallel to his centerline. When his floor facing palms reached a spot below his navel, he stopped his motion and continued to breathe, feeling his Energy engage and Flow.
We got a Discord channel set up for written roleplay now, so between in person DnD sessions we can share RP and work on our characters.
I credit a UW:X bloom for this, and for my writing in general lately.
1/26 Morning Time!
Not sure what to listen to today. Wife has her monthly visitor and is leaving for a church event with my daughters today, returning Sunday. PN might not be the best way to go. My usual line of thinking would be to just give whatever else is in the stack a listen.
But I want to expand the toolbox today! ASBR sounds like an interesting path, and I am curious about the fame scripting and what my aura could do with it. I have OG Stark, picked up when I thought a Terminus strength file was still in there. It wasn’t, and I never gave it a listen.
Well. Got it! I remembered my CC number without grabbing my wallet. That’s a sign!
I love that info there, letting one know about the NSE contained within!
Odd. Got it downloaded and I want to listen, but I feel some internal resistance. Irritation! Or, perhaps I don’t need additional attention today.
Well then.
1.5 min TWTP
1/29 Afternoonish!
1.5 min of Generator this morning. No nausea, or weird headache, or seeing stuff outta the corner of my eye! I should be safe to add 30 seconds next week.
30 sec of TWTP
Just gave eartime to TWTP. I had been contemplating what to listen to, if anything else, today. I figured that this choice would be fine, as i made it to late afternoon with no ill effects. Not sure how/if I want to continue with PN. It’s fun, that’s for sure, but is it necessary at the moment?
1/30 Morning Time!
Feeling beat today!
I neglected to mention that I slipped in 1 min of PN last Friday morning. It paid off when my wife returned home from the retreat. Got it in Sunday afternoon, late late Sunday night, yesterday afternoon, and then again at bedtime last night (her idea nonetheless!)!!!
Gotta make sure to take my supplements today, and I may have to row after work if I want to complete 3 of 3 workouts this week ( and I do ).
I think any reasonably motivated dude listening to PN can get himself some action.
What else…I wanted to note NLE core, in Generator, in Terminus strength. I am really noticing new things or having a new awareness of information these days. New details in what leads to what in foreplay with my wife, for example. The layering of new experiences into a foundation.
She keeps asking for it from behind every time.
I googled it because you always post the pictures – Concept 2 is a rowing machine? Are you training for something in particular? Or is it just your main form of fitness?
I’m living vicariously through your PN updates. Keep it going for those of us stuck in the desert Gives me hope.
Yeppers! The standard, imho.
I believe there is a global indoor rowing marathon in May. I’d like to do that if possible.
It’s really just a simple effective workout. One turn lead to another and now I’m rowing 3 days a week. I’m glad I found the viking music that one day!
This I find funny, as it was your write up of RotNW that got me thinking in that direction; giving PN a try.
I gotta say I’m thankful for it though. I am pleased to see how my wife responds to that auric change; I had been feeling despondent as it seemed nothing I tried to change would get her to respond the way I thought I wanted. I didn’t think I had any sort of energetic effect on her. It wasn’t until Bossman SaintSovereign posted about what to look for that, in conjunction with my own observations, that I realized I was affecting her. Most gratifying and reassuring!
It’s likely a real good thing that I didn’t have my current awareness level of energy and these…(fucking awesome!!) subs when I was a young man. What meager discipline I possess now was completely absent then, and I’d likely have a bunch of kids to random women.
1/31 Morning Time!
Short one today!
1.5 min PN
30 sec TWTP
Guess I’m on that PN train for the time being, until the wife lets me off.
Seriously having a lot of fun.
OK cool! Good luck with the training
Regarding Nectar, that day was nuts, but I have no proper outlet for it right now. Glad it helped you (help me ) These auras are the real deal…
This is a crazy good result. I’m sure the sex is great but I’d imagine it’s been a huge psychological win. Bravo
I ordered a row machine yesterday.
Is it possible to get an athletic body with rowing alone?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer:
Diet is a big part of an athletic body, I think.
You may be asking the wrong person as I don’t consider these love handles athletic!
I started rowing at the end of this past August, and with chilling out a bit on my carbs, some intermittent fasting, and sub usage I am down 50 pounds. I still have a ways to go.
I am hopeful that I can achieve that athletic look within a couple years with rowing and a good diet.
My arms are looking good now though. Got forearm veins popping, and a bicep vein that shows up like the eight sides of the Great Pyramid. (visible with the proper angles and lighting). Definition in my thighs for the first time in my life too. Apparently there are multiple muscles in there!
I could likely benefit from some weight training for my chest, as it’s not really hit with the rower. All things in due time.
I hope this helps ya!
2/2 Morning Time!
45 seconds TWTP
1:45 min PN
Perhaps at some point I should consider looking into finding a sub that provides an aura of peace and calm, for I can surely tell that my listens of TWTP are affecting things at my job. Maybe not quite directly connected, I suppose, but I am seeing things differently; all these little power games being played out amongst the management staff. As I am seeing things more clearly now, I am responding differently as well, leading to change. My perception could just be the general rise in tension and stress that most everyone is feeling.
Anywho, had this thought: Knowing my aura is strong and influential, how do I best use that for all? I can see how PN works and whom it hits, but would a different auric vibe provide more hits or results? What could I be influencing with an aura of calm and peace right now?
Maybe that reads a bit jumbled. Bit of a headache after the listen. I can see the possibilities of exuding calm at my work, and I wanna give it a try. Just gotta figure out how to do so.
This cannot be overstated! Definitely worth a try for dead bedrooms!
I nearly swore PN off yesterday morning. Too much sex lately! Can’t believe it.
Nearly…
Thanks this helps, i will add a push up workout on top
Just ordered a tangzhuang to wear for DnD night. lulz
The monk felt a need to turn within, an internal itch that needed scratched. He eyed a tree at the edge of the campsite. No different really from any other, save the trunk was covered with smooth bark and the few knots that were apparent didn’t start until 6 feet up. A couple comfortable looking roots stuck out of the ground at the base of this tree, looking perfect for a tree-side meditation. It seemed as though the tree was here just for his use at this moment. He honored this gift from the universe by going and sitting at the base of this tree, crossing his legs under him as he did so. Resting his hands on his knees, he reclined against the trunk and closed his eyes, retreating within.
He cleared his mind, banishing all to the Inner Flame. In the empty Void however, that itch remained. He poked and prodded at it in that inner space, hoping some interaction with the sensation would allow him to banish it. It did not vanish, rather it grew; a nub now within his mind, a distinct presence in his mental space.
He pinched at this Nub with mental digits, almost anxious to get it and pull it directly into his Inner Flame. He felt his mind grasp hold of whatever this was and inhaled deeply, pulling fresh air into his lungs as he energetically inhaled Chi from the tree. As he exhaled, he started “pulling” on the Nub, hoping the change in energy flow from breathing would assist in popping this irritant out.
The Nub came free as though pulling a bath plug, and purple energy filled his mindspace. His Inner Flame became encircled with a crackling ring of violet lightning, and he felt the energy, his energy, extending beyond the confines of his brain and mind.
His awareness grew, and he opened his eyes and looked about the camp. Everyone seemed to be going about their business as normal; no immediate reaction to any change in himself, at least. A quick check within revealed that same scene, a purple ring around his Inner Flame. What did it mean?
A new sensation was growing within him, a feeling of an energetic mental connection being opened. A sort of “channel” opened in his mind space, and its pale blue nimbus hung there, awaiting interaction. The monk ignored this new object and instead concentrated on the purple energy, attempting to …feel it. Know it. It was in his mind, and the monk’s mind is under his control.
Some time passed. He attempted various mental manipulations of this purple energy; none had proven successful. “What else…”
He sighed and relaxed, and on the end of his exhale…an explosion in his mind space! With a bright violet flash, the purple lightning surrounding his Inner Flame suddenly shrank and merged with the fire, and in its place a Purple Flame now burned!?
Another change, simultaneously: Knowledge, delivered from the Universe. The proverbial Flash of Understanding.
He had, by messing with that mental itch and pulling out that Nub, awakened an ability to communicate mentally. He could speak, with his mind, into the mind of anyone in sight nearby. The “opened channel” hanging there silently indicated that someone “in range” could speak back to him!
“Amazing!”, the monk thought. “Who could it be? Merric perhaps? There could have been more damage done to the dwarf by that bite than we know. Or perhaps it’s T. Feanoth? I wouldn’t put it past that wizard to have that trick up his sleeve!”
He relaxed his mind and body and simply rest against the tree. This was a lot to take in, and while full knowledge was great, full assimilation would take a few more minutes! The monk breathed slow and easy, as he had all the time he needed.
Gotta credit my HeroWork custom bloom for being able to whip up this rp. I hit level 8 with my monk and decided to take the Telepathic feat. I wrote this to explain it, and for fun. Minor editing from what I submitted to my group.
