I have a theory that recon is basically a gigantic bloom so huge that your ego incessantly tries to convince you that you’re in a rut. The harder it tries the better the bloom. Be grateful that you came so far, we are part of the 1% whether your ego likes it or not, this is fact

I’ve been thinking about this comment for a few days, trying to make sense of it.
It makes sense.
As we both know, the ego’s job is to prevent change and upheaval to ensure survival. The point of using subliminals is to program our subconscious, because only our subconscious can bypass our ego’s stubbornness, only our subconscious is stronger.
The subliminal input is making the ego cling onto dear life, because the changes are so sudden and significant that it can barely hold on. It’s one thing to be the skateboard rolling on gravel to its destination (you understand the reference 
), it’s another to be caught up in a tornado that threatens to fling the skateboard across the finish line, and then some.

And remember the one way to soothe the ego
Fighting the ego is like wrestling a 2000 pound bear, you won’t win
That’s what most people do, they use “logic” and just enter a deeper rabbit hole that makes them completely fall all over the floors off the skateboard and make their inevitable ride to their destination harder.
The one way to soothe the ego is by feeling good, it’s that simple, when recon hits just remember the smallest things ever that made you feel good even if it’s just being alive and having a bed to sleep on and water to drink. Recon stands zero chance when the ego is soothed

I just realized something.
It was an experience I had 10 years ago, at a gym with my super scrawny friend (I too was super scrawny at the time). It was the last time I tried bench pressing until I started training last year.
So total weight lifting noobs, I’ve never bench pressed a bar in my life and we go and he sets me up with 10 pounds on each side of the bar, 65 pounds in total. I push it up, it goes down and I can’t get it back up. He’s sheepishly looking at me not knowing what to do, until an older guy comes and rescues me from my fucking peril of 65 pounds. He tells me that I shouldn’t think about doing as much weight as possible, it’s okay for me to start with only the bar because everyone starts somewhere. They were words of encouragement, but my embarrassment was immense and I didn’t go back to a gym for a very long time.
I was always scared to have other people look at me, notice me and what I was lifting, how weak I was, the insecurity prevented me from ever going to the gym.
This memory just came back to me today, and it’s truly a shock because I did everything I could to repress that moment of shame and embarrassment deep into my psyche.
65 pounds on a bar for 1 rep defeated me, crushed my spirit and ego 10 years ago. Today, it hasn’t been a full year yet since I started weight-lifting and I’m currently using 70 pound dumbbells in each hand for my bench press, for reps.
Younger me would be proud, happy and a combination of being shocked but also, completely and utterly not surprised because he was an arrogant little fucker. He just didn’t see the pain I had to go through to get to that point.
I wish I was stronger, I beat myself up for not dieting properly and for not progressing as quickly as I would want to but then I think about that and I realize, wow. I really put in a lot of work. No I’m not perfect, but I’m doing well. I’m doing quite well actually, considering how it hasn’t even been 2 full years since I put my action plan in place to change my life.
I just need to keep going. But I’ve got this. It’s happening. It always has.

Yes bro! It’s here now, it’s right around the corner. This life is meant to be enjoyed, regardless of what we’ve been programmed to think, and enjoyed in the most optimal and fitting way for YOU! We are always aligned with who we are, and anything telling us that we aren’t who we dream we are is just recon, which doesn’t negate that we truly are that very lofty being we sometimes see in quick flashes throughout our lives and think “Jesus….
Imagine being that awesome…. Is that even real?”
It’s just about accepting it through gratitude, even at the “lowest of lows”

This is the module make-up of Phronesis:
Genesis Core
Index Gate: Ultimate Programmer X Core
Mogul Core
Mimisbrunnr
APS: Head
Book Blitz
Job Seeker
Treasure Finder
Victory’s Call
Achilles’ Heel
Eye of the Storm
Extreme Exercise Motivation
Carpe Diem Ascended
Negative Energy Transmutation
The Architect
Foundation
Inner Blaze
Deep Sleep
Metamorphosis
Cosmic Navigator
The reason why I post this is because if I’m going to be completely honest, I’ve been underwhelmed by this custom. I think the presence of so many energy-related modules becomes redundant when I’m running KBBC on the side.
The Architect feels redundant. Achilles’ Heel hasn’t really kicked in the way I liked so far. Treasure Finder hasn’t really kicked in either, but perhaps that’s more my fault than anything.
I have no clue what Genesis does as an effect, it’s been underwhelming. I wonder if I’d be better off replacing it with QL4, RICH, Mind’s Eye. Leaning towards the latter.
I’d like a greater focus on finances, I want to get to my financial goals of the 3 year plan so this increased focus can help facilitate that.
Financial Success Reality Shifter. Positive Being Attractor – Wealth. Unrelenting Wealth Motivation and Energy. Wealth Limit Destroyer. Virtue Series: Temperance. These 5 modules look perfect. I’ll have to pick between 3 of those 5, one will have to go.
I know I can do more. I know it deep down in my heart and soul.
Eudaimonia has executed so perfectly, it’s incredible. It’s genuinely incredible. It’s been hitting in every way possible, I could see myself running this custom for a very long time.
QTKS, where you at?
While trying for a NEO again I went past the edge by accident unfortunately.
All of a sudden, I feel like all of the huge benefits I was getting from KBBC with aura, attraction and exercise strength and energy are gone. It’s crazy.
This is another level of realization for me. The importance of retention is so massive, I underestimated it and that’s saying something because I knew how powerful it was and could be, I’ve experienced it before.
But retention AND KBBC? Another fucking level completely. I can never spill my seed while running this sub ever again.

This post needs to be in my journal, it’s a big insight after all.
So today is my birthday, and never have I had more people wish me a happy birthday in my entire life than today. People giving me gifts, being super kind, it was genuinely incredible. I literally stepped into work and people were just yelling it out from everywhere, it was so surprising.
For some context, I barely celebrate my birthday. I don’t let people really know about it, I don’t do much celebrations, all I usually do is just plan the day out to my liking and get myself a gift.
What happened today was genuinely unreal to me. I just couldn’t believe it. I would have so immensely grateful and pleased had even 1 person remembered and wished me a happy birthday, that would have been more than enough. But there was just a staggering amount of people that came to wish me a happy birthday, gave me little tiny gifts and what not, it was such a humbling experience.
I am so genuinely thankful to be at the place I am now. Everything is clicking, life feels good. Eudaimonia is the greatest title I have ever ran in my life.

I’ve been trying and failing with NEOs lately. I feel like to combat these failures what I need to do is 1) eliminate all visual and imaginative stimulation, 2) increase meditation practice to become more in tune with the energy channels of the body and 3) shift to stage 2 of KBBC because the energy pathways have essentially been cleared and now my new concern is mastering control of the circulation of this energy, which will directly impact that ability.
Happy Birthday!

Just found out news about my work situation that has discouraged me immensely.
I will need to reconfigure my customs to reintroduce the programming and money-related modules to my stack, while still allowing me to run WB and KBBC.
Action has to be taken on my part, ASAP. No more chilling.
Just realized that I sold the bag haaaaaaaaard today, fuck man.
S&S will keep me aware for the next time, but fuck I really missed the perfect opportunity that I was looking for. Fuck fuck fuck 
So I need to redesign my stack because I can’t ignore the work aspect of my stack for long. My solution is to create a work custom with UPX, Mogul and Chosen and then a seduction custom with Wanted Black, LBFH and S&S.
Phronesis:
Genesis Core
Index Gate: Ultimate Programmer X Core
Mogul Core
Mimisbrunnr
APS: Head
Book Blitz
Job Seeker
Treasure Finder
Victory’s Call
Achilles’ Heel
Eye of the Storm
Extreme Exercise Motivation
Carpe Diem Ascended
Negative Energy Transmutation
The Architect
Foundation
Inner Blaze
Deep Sleep
Metamorphosis
Cosmic Navigator
Eudaimonia:
Chosen Core
Love Bomb For Humanity Core
Sex & Seduction Core
Cosmic Navigator
Subconscious Flow
Direct Influencing Aura
Total Nonchalance
Gloryseeker
Ebon Maneuver
Power Talk
Enchanting Smile
Sexual Manifestation
Lifeblood Fable
You Are Not Alone
Stonelike
Song of Joy
Story Teller
Gentleman’s Speech
Jupiter
Gratitude Embodiment
The goal? Reorganize these two customs in a way where I can execute my necessary goals, while including Wanted Black and eliminating Genesis. Time to get back to planning.
Plan 1:
Work:
Chosen Core
Index Gate: Ultimate Programmer X Core
Mogul Core
- Mimisbrunnr
- APS: Head
- Book Blitz
- Job Seeker
- Treasure Finder
- Victory’s Call
- Eye of the Storm
- Extreme Exercise Motivation
- Carpe Diem Ascended
- Power Talk
- Negative Energy Transmutation
- The Architect
- Foundation
- Inner Blaze
- Deep Sleep
- Metamorphosis
-
Cosmic Navigator
(Replaced Achilles Heel with Power Talk from other custom)
Seduction:
WANTED Black
Love Bomb For Humanity Core
Sex & Seduction Core
So immediately, the one main issue that stands out is how perfectly balanced Eudaimonia is, for fucking everything. Trying to bring Wanted Black in and moving Chosen to the work custom ruins the entire balance, design and conception of the custom. As much as I want WANTED Black inside, it cannot be at the expense of Chosen because the custom is built around Chosen. The only expendable core is LBFH, because S&S has been key to my growth.
Adding LBFH into a work custom seems like quite an odd addition, but it just might work. LBFH is just a great sub in general, adding it anywhere wouldn’t hurt (though it might distract from the core focus of the sub).
Or do I risk it all, and try a 4 core custom: super-Eudaimonia lol. It honestly would be able to work I bet, I wouldn’t be surprised if my brain’s gotten used to it at this point. The only problem is that every module from Eudaimonia is so perfectly chosen, that I don’t see anything that’s expendable from it - it’s just an extremely tightly built custom (and hence why the results on it have been so freaking good).
So LBFH into work custom and WB into Eudaimonia instead, and let’s see what that can bring out. Spending 260 USD on 2 customs for 1 module change on each seems like a dumb idea though, so I’m better off waiting to see how things evolve.
Since this custom planning situation is quite complex, I tried to build my next custom out on Excel.
No room to manoeuvre. Eudaimonia is literally too perfect. Wanted Black needs to fit somewhere, but I’m not sure how. The other custom is easy, I can just cycle out Genesis for Mind’s Eye or QL4 (leaning towards Mind’s Eye to make the custom lighter).
But Wanted Black in Eudaimonia? Fuck. I think I can replace The Architect with Power Talk, and take out Power Talk and replace it with WB. 4 core custom is gonna be tough, and as I mentioned in the above post, spending 260$ on 1 module change in each custom seems ridiculous but I’m increasingly feeling like that’s the only way for me to go.
July 11 was my first loop of WB, It feels like I’ve been running this sub for months because of all the growth that’s happened. I can’t try out a new version of Eudaimonia until mid-September at the very least.
In 3 months I gained over an inch in arm size, currently rocking 15.5 inch arms. I always said my goal was 16 inch arms, but now that the target is so close I can set a new goal of 17 inch arms so that I have 16s after my cut (as I currently am a year into a bulk after all).
