This resonates so much with me, but running Stark after having so much development with Emperor will make me a much more Dynamic person.
I also think this sub will work well with Emperor: the will to power.

Have been thinking a lot about names, naming things, and the power of the intent behind themā¦
Some business gurus say the name doesnāt matter, and a couple of the biggest companies in the world changed their names, so itās not like theyāre written in stone, but like weāve witnessed the evolution of the product names here, thereās something far more powerful communicated from the name A Stark Black Reality instead of simply Stark Black.
Anyway, I decided on a name for the membership association Iām creating, finally. It only took about a week and some change. And it may change in the future, but Iām satisfied with it now and for the near future.
On another note, I decided to run Limitless Executive instead of New Primal for this cycle.
Why?
Because I was using New Primal to balance Emperor and inject more fun and charisma into my business dealings and daily life, but I already have a sense that continuing to develop that charisma wonāt be difficult with ASBR alone.
Plus, I think having Limitless Executive and Mindās Eye alongside ASBR will supercharge its creativity and cognitive enhancement scripting. Along with helping me get shit done.
Iām already feeling the āgo juiceā from the combo of ASBR and LE this morning, and I only slept 4.5 hours last night ā felt it even before I had a cup of tea.
Letās gooooooooo

āYou see what you expect to seeā¦ā
Leaving this here as a future reading reminder, and because I was considering how I would ābe seenā in a certain context when this popped up for me.
The tl;dr
Basically, people were made to look āscarredā through the use of make-up and told to go into an interview to see if they were discriminated against, but before going into the interview their āscarsā were removed without their knowing they were removed, so the interviewers had no āphysical disfigurementā to discriminate againstā¦
The result: significant numbers reported high amounts of discrimination and cited behaviors, certain phrases, and other specifics to back their perceptions.
And this just lends to why journaling, taking action, and expecting to see positive results is so powerful in adopting a major change in identityā¦itās to help you āsee yourselfā in a new way.
I was concerned that ASBR might be ātoo farā from my baseline nature, especially in terms of the fame aspect, but I see how I can change that perception much faster and possibly how others with higher flow factor do itā¦
ā¦itās the same way I (and probably most) did things as a kid: just ACCEPT IT, and āplayā it out.
Todayās feeling more fun already.

Random running thoughts:
On a medium intensity run just now, I thought about the aspects of conservation of energy and managing output so as to be able to face any harder obstacles that pop up along the wayā¦
There are times when itās appropriate to āempty the tankā in training, and there may be a time when you may be tested to your fullest extent, a test thatāll take you far beyond anything youāve ever experienced or could think ofā¦
(Nerd stuff incoming)
And thatās when my Mind served up the scene of Gandalf facing the Balrog of Morgothā¦
He didnāt know if he could win. Heād never faced that great of a test up to that point. Yet, he fought him until he āthrew down [the] enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountain side.ā
Cool, so what?
Well, the nerdy symbolism for me is multilayered, but the first was that Gandalf represents wisdom ā the wisdom that comes from knowledge and experience ā and the Balrog represents the shadow ā the unknown parts of ourselves found in the depths of our being, places most donāt and will never go ā and the battle represents the struggle that occurs when faced with what arises from the dark depths of yourself.
Wisdom doesnāt come out unscathed. Your current form of wisdom dies. Parts of who you thought you were, die. Just like Gandalf died alongside the Balrog he smoteā¦
And a new iteration of āyouā is born, with greater wisdom, knowledge, experience, and ability. A new version of you that is prepared for even greater tests, should they arise.
I feel this way with some of the things I intend to do, they seem so far beyond my current level, but Iāll face whatever pops up along the wayā¦and smote its ruin upon the mountainside.
I think ASBR + ME + LE is about to crank my imagination level over 9000. I feel great today.

An interesting ASBR ātestā showed up this week that I didnāt realize was a test, until I considered why I wasnāt jumping on boardā¦
Recently Iāve been focused on putting together licensing deals, and itās been slow going between outreach and needing to vet potential partners and negotiationsā¦plus, Iām new to this style of the business game so Iām striking out way more than hitting home runs. In fact, I havenāt hit one yet, but Iāve gotten on base.
So what ASBR ātestā arose for me this week?
One of building my own list, so outreach can be one email to many potential partners and not so time consuming as 1-to-1 outreach.
Itās a no-brainer, right?
Nope.
Not for this brain, lol. At least, it wasnāt a few days agoā¦
Anyway, the point of this post is to mark a few shifts in identity I just noticed and itās 100% influenced by A Stark Black Reality:
- I can now see myself building a list and letting ASBRās fame and popularity scripting (within a tiny group of hundreds) breathe and
- seeing myself able to calmly hold the spotlight of attention within a much larger group than Iām used to ā hundreds instead of 10-40 ā the jump seemed HUGE in my mind the other day, but now it seems like itās about the same difference
- I see myself getting āout thereā on video (againā¦had the same nudge on OG Stark to practice by making a vlog or something more valuable) and being comfortable with whatever feedback comes my way, even silence
Reality is starting to feel a bit more malleable in a way thatās much different than it felt running New Emperor.

Sleep deprived today, and did not bounce back. Still ran mini-loops though, after which I had to take a nap.
Day wasnāt a complete wash, but no where near productive.
Time to get a hard workout in even though all I want to do is nothingā¦because I just started a 30-day program yesterday and I canāt not do it.
Iād say the two mini-loops of LE are already bearing fruit, plus whatever magic is in ASBR for resilience.
Here we goā¦

Had some interesting dreams last night with people from the past I havenāt seen or talked to in a long timeā¦
In one dream, it seemed like we were in a grand hall of sorts and Iād learned about an old friendās dad being in trouble, so I walked calmly passed my friend and his brothers and up to what seemed to be a judge sitting in an elevated position behind a large, white, cyclidrical, ornate desk. I didnāt argue, I simply opened a dialogue and asked what could be done about his situation. Then discussion touched on the nature of man and influence, and I seemed to win some favor with the judge. Afterwards, I was told what the claim was against him and briefly flashed some āevidenceā in the form of some kind of receipt with a time stamp. I wasnāt sure what to make of it and asked to look at the evidence one more time. The judge didnāt seem to want to reveal it againā¦and I woke up.
Another day starting off with not enough sleep, but it doesnāt feel as bad as yesterday. Iām going to dial up the calories today and see if that helps.

Another round of shorter sleep, but I feel good. Strong. Healthy.
It might have something to do with my body becoming fat-adapted as Iāve cut carbs down to the minimum: raw honey, fresh squeezed lemon, and maybe another citrus fruit.
The drive to workout this week was high. Yesterday, I spontaneously decided that Iām going to grow my pull-up capacity in tandem with the program Iām following.
Iām able to visualize the fitness and business results I want a lot clearer, and feel āpulledā towards them more strongly this weekā¦though my productivity was down due to sleep dep.
I think ASBR is expressing right now primarily in getting me prepared for the spotlight. Not that I canāt stand in it now, but Iāll feel even more comfortable when I recompose my body a bitā¦so the drive to workout and train is high.
Limitless Executive and Mindās Eye alongside ASBR seem to be integrating smoothly. I havenāt experienced any recon in the mix so far. Iām looking forward to what those subs could do after theyāve been upgraded.

So, Mindās Eye results so far:
- the realization that I need to take more time to ābe boredā aka actually spend dedicated time, energy, and attention on imagining things and practicing that skill
- predicted (or manifested?) several things with almost instant feedback on the subconscious nudge I responded toā¦
One example was yesterday when my girl was getting out of the car, I noticed / felt / saw the potential for the drinks to fall out of the drink carrier she had in hand. I said, āBe careful the drinks donāt fall. It looks kinda flimsy, and that would suck.ā
Not even 5 seconds later, the drinks were on the ground. But somehow my drink landed without spilling?
So, my intuition was correct, but my interpretation of it was wrongā¦
The carrier didnāt break. Sheād knocked the drink carrier out of her hand while closing the car door.
What Iād seen in my mindās eye were the drinks spilled on the ground, and immediately my intellect kicked in to interpret that wisdom and logicād that the carrier would be the failure point.
Nope.
I wondered afterwards if anything wouldāve happened if I wouldnāt have said anythingā¦or if Iād spoken to a postive-outcome? I donāt even know what that would sound like, lolā¦but I think thereās something to it, so Iāll be watching my words.
What ended up happening was that she felt extra embarrassed because Iād ācalled itā.
Anyway, it seems like the signals of intuitive nudges are coming through more often and cleaner. Thereāve been other things, but this example is basically the same overall deal.
I never āfound the timeā to put towards visualization practice before, but Iām more inclined now.

My place has gotten steadily unorganized over the past week or so, and today it finally registered that itās a mild recon Iām going throughā¦
I donāt feel depressed, or overly tired (besides some sleep dep), or any kind of negative emotional way, but I have had a strong sense of being extremely neutral to things. So the symptoms so far are more along the lines of detachment, lack of prolonged focus on any one thing, and an urge to watch One Piece. 
(I just started season one last week.)
Funny, the recon realization came this morning after I acquiesced to not being able to focus and decided to meditateā¦
It was a short one ā 15-20 minutes, I didnāt time it ā and basically just breathing with my eyes closed for that short time rejuvenated me.
Note to self: stop stopping meditation practice.

Rolling into the second cycle with ASBR as the anchor sub, and Iām dropping both Mindās Eye and Limitless Executive as my support subs.
Adding Nouveau RICH back into the stack to assist while I focus on understanding new markets and develop my tactics to cut through the noise. And itāll help with what I mentioned a couple weeks agoā¦
I just took a step towards that and invested in some knowledge from a guy whoās made an awesome life out of doing lead gen. And Iām NOT going through all of it at onceā¦Iām applying ONE thing at a time as I go through the material.
Aināt nobody got time to āfigure it all outā before getting started. 
So, Nouveau RICH will help with all that and ASBR will help me get myself out there.
Not sure about a third sub to support the goalsā¦ I have my eye on Revelation of Mind for its enhanced ME and wisdom scripting; Legacy of the Spartan / Spartan to bump up the body gainz and keep me feeling great; or True Sell to dial up the charisma and understanding.
Maybe a cycle of True Sell is the way to go since Iām cranking up the volume of cold outreach too? 
Yup. True Sell it is.

Thereās a parable about an art teacher grouping students into one of two groups: quality vs quantityā¦where the result is the highest quality comes from the group producing the highest quantity. Not the group focused on quality. Because experience.
Is that always true?
Where did that parable even come from? Because itās been passed around like someoneās hot sister at a rave and people just go with it. (apologies for the crude metaphor)
Thereās also a saying among military folks, and gets passed around by people who watch too many Navy Seal podcasts, that: slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
But is it?
Pretty sure slow is slow. And fast is fast.
There are times when you should move slow, but when itās time to move fast you better haul ass because no amount of moving āslowā is going to make you fast.
I guess what Iām getting at isā¦
Disrupting and challenging existing mental constructs is necessary to move the bowels of your mind. And if you donāt move them regularly, itāll lead to worse issues down the road.
Context is everything.
Short-cutting thinking with metaphors and parables are useful to communicate concepts you want people to accept and work withā¦
ā¦I know my brain doesnāt want to waste calories thinking about everything under the Sunā¦
But they can become the limiting factor to growth and deeper understanding.
So, as Iām ramping up my outreach, Iām considering what each ārepā is developingā¦and those two concepts jumped out at me that I decided to chin check.
Hereās anotherā¦
The idea that you could practice one kick 10,000 times and have Bruce Lee be afraid of youā¦
ā¦and yet, the only thing to maybe be concerned about someone who does that is that ONE kick, especially if you act like a heavy bag and stand still in one spot to get kicked.
Thereās an assumption that the guy doing that many kicks will naturally improve and become deadly with itā¦
Maybe?
But just ask yourself how many people you know who have been saying words, sentences, and communicating every day for YEARS that still seem to be doing it the same way. Have they naturally improved just because theyāve āpracticed it 10,000 timesā?
I believe practice is the only way to improve a skill, 100% ā¦BUT there has to be a deliberate intent to it. A specific energy and attention. And just because something works in one context doesnāt mean itāll work in the next.
This blast of āhot airā brought to you by my brain on Nouveau RICH and True Sell.

Continuing the theme of challenging the programmingā¦
Instead of writing down and focusing on the BIG, positive intentions I have for my life, I opted to write down some of the facts of right now. And not the highlights eitherā¦
The parts of my life that I have a direct influence in shaping that currently bother me.
I could hear the positive programming voices rise up to say, ādonāt focus on the negative,ā āfocus on what you want, not what you donāt want,ā etc., etc., blah, blah, blahā¦
I told those voices to shut upā¦
And you know what I found?
Straight 
The feeling of pure, uncut, 100% powerā¦
The POWER to change those parts of my reality. The drive. A deep well of energetic potential begging to be tapped and put to use for the mission.
Itās not anger, itās resolve.
It may take 3 days, 3 weeks, or 3 years to accomplish, but when youāre resolved, time is just what happens in between.
First mini-loop of second cycle with ASBR this morning.
Iterating faster on the tactics Iām using to break through the noise and get some traction talking to the right people.
Ironically, thatās involved slowing things waaaay down.
Itās easy to do when thereās no neediness for: results right away.
Sometimes the fastest path to the result looks a lot like the slowest way to get there.
Influence while running ASBR, NR, and T$ is op?
I did nothing and got special treatment
An electrician came out to replace and update our circuit breaker panels for my part of the complex today, which meant no power until they were done, and it could take all dayā¦cool story.
I āknewā about it, but forgot because itād been rescheduled a couple times over the last couple weeks, and Iāve had other things on my mind.
When he knocked then waved at me through the front window this morning, I was comfortably in the middle of having tea, wrapped in a blanket, doing some research on a businessā¦the timing couldnātāve been better 
We had a quick exchange.
You know the one youād have with any service provider: a matter of fact outline of what theyāre doing before they start using the minimum amount of words necessary. Theyāre not there to chit-chat. They got shit to do.
So, the ONLY thing I did was ask a couple questions. And, asked if I had 10-15 minutes before my place went ādarkā. Then thanked the guy. Thatās it.
HOURS went by, and my power didnāt turn off.
But, I didnāt complain. 
Then I got another knock at the door and guess who it was?
The electrician told me he was able to WORK AROUND my apartmentās panel, but I was up next and he wanted to give me a 20 minutes heads up. Then told me Iād only have to wait around 90 minutes for it to come back on.
How cool of him was that?!
90 minutes of no-power versus the 3+ hours the other units experienced???
Again, all I did was thank the guy.
Iām thinking something I subconsciously communicated created an instant connection that resulted in me not being as inconvenienced as others.
It could be the simple fact that I saw him as a person and not as a āworkerā who was inconveniencing me that helped create the result.
Or maybe, the aura of elevated status from ASBR and NR mixed with my mostly ādown to Earthā nature formed a specific magnetic resonance pattern in the 5th dimension thereby triggering the law of do me a solidā¦
Iāll have to keep an eye out for more of this.
Prediction: I expect to see more people doing favors and being helpful towards me without me having to ask.
