I haven’t vaped so I don’t know the taste. But is the taste similar to having vanilla ice cream?

Oct 30 last day of cycle: DRG ST4/EMP-D 7 min each.
Next cycle beginning Nov 5 will be DRG ST2/EMP-D/Minds Eye.
Edit: 2 hours later. 7 min of PR. Difficult conversation incoming. Today or tomorrow, been putting it off.
Now washout starts. Will do experimental short test loops of HOM/DD prior to toastmasters the evening before start of next cycle.

Back in 2021 I bought 100 shares of XOM for 44. Sold it one the way up at 85. Sold too early yes but still made a great return in a short time.
While I owned the shares I got dividends paid out and auto re-invested. Had 6 shares basically for free. Sold 100 at 85 and kept the other 6. Last month I decided to sell the remaining 6 for $120. Basically got a bonus 700+ for holding the shares on the way up.
After selling for 120 it then climbed to 126 and now around 115. Although my timing wasn’t perfect im quite happy with the result overall.
Edit: Nov 2. Reading XOM earnings call and it mentions that they increased the dividend from .95 to .99. Must have been a bogus headline regarding the dividend cut from .95-.60. Have deleted that paragraph from this post.

Here’s my KWLM scores.
Fullness of Warrior, Lover, and Magician. King energy tilts towards the tyrant according to this, better than being a weakling. Perhaps DRG in the later stages can adjust this more towards fullness. Highest score was Magician.

Solo mushroom trip last night. Was out playing some pool and instead of staying out all night partying I decided to take the shrooms and get to work on a stubborn subconscious structure.
I have this mental block and big time resistance to working night shifts. So I wrote the question
“What is my biggest hang up or mental block regarding N/S?”
The first page of journaling was a dark rant which won’t get repeated here. That darkness was inside of me, the veil was thin enough combined with the desire to make the unconscious conscious.
Then I pivoted to asking “What am I feeling right now?” After more and more self inquiry I finally discovered that the mind has constructed an idea that in order the feel 100% I have to be on the tail end of a 3 week vacation which I take twice a year.
Then I said “So I only allow myself to officially get to 100% twice a fucking year?” That’s fuckin bullshit and then the laughter started. It started well before that but another wave came along with the joy of being able to see the mental prison that the mind had created, the long list of conditions to happen before I can say I’m 100%.

Couple of quotes I came across in recent reading.
“When I’m hungry, I eat. When I’m thirsty, I drink. When I’m tired, I rest—flowing with the Tao, or natural way, relating to each moment as it comes, without added complications.” From Peaceful Heart Warrior Spirit book.
“Work on your weaknesses until they’re no longer liabilities. Work on your strengths until they alone can carry you. Remember: The difficulty of a task is irrelevant if it’s vital to your success. Your feelings about a necessary skill whether positive or negative—shouldn’t affect the energy you invest in Mastering it.” From Ed Latimore email discussing Musashi.

Nov 5 new cycle day 1 listening day 1 of 12
DRG ST2/EmpD 7 min each. HOM 4 min. May cycle in Minds Eye and ASBR as the 3rd sub the odd day. Since ME is on deck for an upgrade will probably wait till then.
Have decided to narrow my focus and focus mainly on my investing for the next while now that golf season is over.
Had trouble getting off night shift this last go around. Was starting to go off the rails and seriously contemplated quitting my job outright without a plan haha.
Signed up for another investing course to accelerate my portfolio growth. I needed a worthy goal to focus on with a structured strategy. I have been following this guy for a few years now and his predictions while not deadly accurate, they are accurate enough to earn some credibility.

These are the books that got delivered a couple weeks ago. My winter reading.
Was unsure which one to start with until the other day when reading Choose Your Enemies Wisely by Patrick Bet David when it mentioned Crucial Conversations. I’ve immediately switched to CC as it is of utmost importance. Have one today at work and another one in a few days with a personal relationship.
I will finish the other book but for now it’s a deep dive into crucial conversations. Going through it slowly and highlighting lots.
Key quote:
“People who routinely the whole crucial conversations and hold them well are able to express controversial and even risky opinions in a way that gets hurt. Their bosses, peers and direct reports without becoming defensive or angry.
Time and again we’ve watched opinion leaders find ways to both tell the truth and Keep relationships. We marveled as we watched them step up to conversations in ways that actually made working relationships stronger. We discovered that the only way to strengthen relationships is through the truth, not around it”

DRG ST2/EmpD 7:30 each.
Broke things off with the girlfriend Friday night, went to her place today to exchange personal items and have a good conversation. We peacefully parted ways and will remain friends for now. She took it pretty hard and it was the first time in her life that she wasn’t the one to break things off. My first time breaking things off in over 2 decades. Only took 2 loops of DRG ST2 to finally make the call. DRG seems more powerful than DRR so far.
This is the first time in my life that I’m single and not actively looking for anyone else. She will be going on dating sites and I even gave her some tips regarding photo’s.
There is a Zen Trilotherapy lesson regarding relationships using the Apple tree as a metaphor. The Gestation phase or death of a relationship lasts for 1/5 the duration of the relationship. During that phase it is important to take the time to heal or else the cycle will repeat itself. It’s fine to date casually during that phase though. I skipped that stage following my previous 2 LTR’s.
Was with my sons mother for 11 years then went to ex we will call “R” 3 months later for 9 years. Then 3 months later with most recent ex of 18 months. This official gestation period if we’re being precise would be 108 days which is totally doable whereas 2 years in the pits of heartbreak seems like an eternity.
Fun fact, was with “R” for 108 months. The official gestation period would have been 21.6 months. I believe with the passing of the dog that we shared that happened at 18 month mark was energetically the end of our gestation period as there was no longer any tension between us and I was finally able to forgive her for everything that transpired as well.
Here is a screenshot of the Apple tree lesson. Note when it says “her” or “she” it is referring to the Heart.

Cut my loss on PLUG, was multi 4 figure loss. Lesson learned. Felt good to cut it loose and take it off the watchlist.
Doubled my position in BABA. May take 2-3 years to fully turn around. Will have to wait for China’s economy to recover. Also some fear around tariffs, don’t see 60% tariffs actually happening, more like 10-15 but I’ve been wrong before. Current basis is 96.

DRG ST2/HOM/KHAN ST4 15 min each. LOTS 10 min.
I know overkill. All I got planned today is a massage then some reading. Want to see how Khan blends with HOM. They both have lots of scripting dedicated to building strategic connections. Also want the drive of Khan to fuel the investing research that HOM draws out of me.
Will be off work for a couple of rotations so 5 weeks in total. Even put through paperwork for short term leave citing insomnia as the reason. Might as well get paid for my time off. Even if the claim isn’t approved I have the cash to cover the time and it is a good investment in myself to have a good reset.
Ultimately it’s the nights that are hard to recover from especially the past 2 rotations since mid September. I know I won’t get out of nights outright but I’m ‘playing the system’ to at least get an extended break from them.
Have priced out trips to Mexico last night and today. Can get away for 8 full days for a good price. Haven’t decided for sure yet if I’ll go in December or end of February. Either way I won’t be bored.

Since me and my latest girl broke up we have chatted on the phone a few times and we actually get along better than before. It’s actually kicked her ass into gear to get after her own mental health.
Soooo to complicate matters, on Thursday when I go to her place to return her house key she is making me lunch and I’m most likely going to bang her again. We’ve talked about it and we are going to transition to a FWB situation. She’s horny, I’m horny and we both service each other well so why not.
It’s my next sub day and I’d better be on my best behaviour so the day stack will be DRG2/PR and either EmpD or KHAN ST4.
I have a vocal lesson in the morning that day. Practicing the 4 songs tonight then will take tomorrow from singing so my voice is fresh for the next day.
