This cycle I’m going with Primal, DD:TS, and EOG ST2. Couple of listening days in and not much to report so far.

Started a Mind Valley course called The Quest for Self Mastery by one of my favourite authors Sri Kumar Rao. I have a couple of his books. This course goes into more depth. It’s 45 days and it’s recommended to do the course every day. Each day is a 5-10 min video with a couple of exercises in it. Will commit to completing the course and will do the daily lesson more often than not.

Hav e put aside the Gene Keys book for now. Read 8-10 of the keys, none was quite as profound as the 23rd shadow section that I posted about last week.

Day 3 of 12 subs: Primal and DD:TS 7 min each, EOG ST2 3 min.

I’m the most disciplined with diet when I run LOTS. I don’t lack motivation to workout no matter what I run.

Last days off I ate lots of desserts and chocolate etc. Smoked a lot of weed too. Finally dialed back in on sub day 3 of cycle. Perhaps the change from KB4 to Primal and EOG ST1 to ST2 gave me slight recon fog.

Put the Easter candy in the freezer. Didn’t toss it but made it extra inconvenient to eat it after work. Normally when I watch TV with dinner I munch on crap and the excessive sugar is effecting my sleep. Waking up extra early etc.

Got half an episode of The Boys left. It’s a trashy train wreck of a show that I can’t look away from. Have had to fast forward a few spots in season 4 due to degeneracy. I do like Homelander though even though he’s an archetypical anti hero, just something about him that I like, maybe it’s the invincibility. Will have to find something a bit less trashy to watch soon.

Booked 3 weeks off in August and feel better about current job now that the other option fell away.

“Freedom is to know, with certainty, that you are the creator of your own worldview, which you harnessed to the degree that whenever something arises that you wish to combat outside of you, you immediately tune, your perspective to accommodate a liberating experience in which you react, consciously and wisely rather than impulsively”

Day 4 of 12 sub day.
DD:TS, Primal: 5 min each.

It seems like DD:TS has a transcendental connection module similar to HOM only enhanced or at least that’s how it plays out for me. My social skills are much improved 1 on 1, not quite the life of the party in group settings but do throw in strategic well timed one liners that get laughs.

If I stacked it with Khan then it would push the social dominance aspect but no need to rush it. I’m enjoying the process of slow steady progress.

Day 5 of 12 subs. Primal, DD:TS, 90 seconds each. EOG ST2 1 minute.

Frustrated with the political climate in this country. The centralized control in the east dictates to the rest of us. Out west we are the economic powerhouse yet don’t have much say in who gets elected.

Currently regretting not moving to the US in my early 20’s when the desire was strong and had nothing to my name and no responsiblies. At least they have a more fair representation system. The longest time anyone has to put up with the wrong candidate seems to be 8 years. Up here it’s perpetual marxists the past decade. Better luck next next leap year.

There is a desire brewing within me to become a strategic advisor. Got a lot of work to do to get there. May read the will to power and the art of war this summer when I have some downtime.

Won’t be changing my stack just yet. Want to run primal and DD:TS to build my social skills and enjoy life for a while. Would consider swapping out EOG for HOM if it gets upgraded. I’m exhausted and had a huge emotional release last night. Got a couple rounds of golf in starting tomorrow for days off.

Golfed for the first time this year today. Haven’t been to the range. Was rusty and inconsistent but very much enjoyed the round.

It’s my ex father in law and his buddies that I go with. I’m usually passive socially around them. Today I wasn’t the life of the party by any means but did make good progress initiating conversations and sharing some biased opinions without hesitation.

On one hole I hit an air ball off the tee, missed the ball outright by swinging right over it. We all had a good laugh over it. Ended up loosing the ball the very next shot.

I don’t recall saying any F bombs at all during missed shots today, maybe cause I didn’t have any expectations for the first round of the day.

Market has now turned bullish. Held off on writing covered calls since a few of the companies are reporting earnings next week. Rolled the dice that they will be higher by end of next week.

This is what I got for a first ever custom.

Inner circle core

Daredevil: true Social core

Essence:Clear sight

Deep sleep

Intuition enhancer

Free pass

Synergy tale of the dragon

Synergy Heaven shaking power

Synergy divine dominion

Goals with this custom.

  1. Continue to improve social fluidity in group settings.
  2. Build strategic connections, allies, and mentors to help accomplish my goals.
  3. Build influence. I see myself becoming a strategic advisor down the road but not there yet. This may require the addition of Emp:AoW down the line but I think this is enough to get started.
  4. Continue to hone the art of storytelling with humor weaved in.

@Lion would love your input on this.

Have played 2 rounds of golf. Shot 94,95 so far. I’m missing everything hook left. Can hit 3 wood off the tee pretty good, loosing balls with the driver. The smart thing to do would be to bench the driver and use max 3 wood from the tee.

Went to the range today and at the next stall was an older gentleman who kindly gave me some tips. He had to run but for the short time we met we had great conversation.

Reached out to the club pro for some lessons, first a tune up lesson to straighten out my miss to the left and then 2 more for short game to dial in 40-70 yards.

Will look to play some solo rounds this year to meet some new golf buds. Thinking every second Thursday do a solo round to meet other connections then every second Tuesday play with the usual snowbirds.

The main indexes in the stock market have moved above the critical 200 day moving average. It fell below in early March at the peak of tariff hysteria. It may have even spooked the administration and they pivoted as a result. After it fell through the 200 sma
Floor that became a ceiling. It tested that ceiling 3 times before finally breaking through untouched this week.

Margin account finally back to positive territory for the year. TFSA well into positive territory and even hit a new high water mark today.

My IC/TS custom arrived last night just in time for washout. Squeezed in a 1 minute loop last night. Had very strange and vivid dreams. I want to run this custom for the rest of the year.

I swapped Primal for Khan ST4 the past few listening days. The drive I get to get shit done at work is insane. If there was an essence module for Primal I would consider a name embedded Khan with it.

A possible EOG manifestation. The owner of the investing community is looking for capital raisers for his hedge fund. It’s currently a Hong Kong entity and will be opening a North American entity starting next year. I messaged him indicating my interest in becoming a capital raiser/board member/advisor for his hedge fund and we had a good chat back and forth.

I mentioned it would be an easier sell for me if it was set up for North America and was TFSA/RRSP compatible and if I were already invested in the fund myself I would be much more credible. He said we will chat near the end of the year. Gives me some time to build strategic connections and put together a plan since I’m not sure where to begin. If I can raise between 1-10 mil then I work for the hedge fund to manage clients. This is such a huge step out of what I’m currently doing and I’m not sure I’ll get there. For now I will set a goal of raising my first 100k, which I get a commission on with or without an official position in the company.

Plans for EOG I’d like to run 2 cycles of each stage so 8 cycles total. Next cycle is cycle 4 (second cycle of ST2). Will be hard to stick with it if HOM gets updated soon.

I’m curious how a Khan/HOM custom would work for my goals. Conventional wisdom would say ASBR/HOM would be more inline with my goals.

Next cycle will be IC/TS custom, EOG ST2, and Khan ST4 to start. May swap Khan for ASBR depending how it goes.
