Thoughts about rebuilding Pathbreaker to include a few of the new modules (and the solace mask) keep creeping up. And it doesn’t help that my level of certainty about which titles to include in my stack right now is about as solid as a waterbed in a houseboat.
I want to say that it’s recon playing its tricks and attempting to remove a few modules that are threatening the status quo. But then, there’s also the sense that my perspective is shifting and since I’m reevaluating the relevance of the subs in my stack, it makes sense that I’d do the same with the modules in my custom.
The one thing I’m completely certain of is: I won’t change any of the cores in Pathbreaker. The synergy between Emperor, EoG St2, PCC, and ME is too good to let go, imo.
Reflecting back over the last 30 days running Pathbreaker, I recognized a moment where PCC and Instant Business Tactician shined during an attempt to manipulate me into a shitty situation…by a family member, no less.
I won’t go into the boring details, but this family member basically tried to get me to agree to a partnership that wouldn’t have compensated me enough for the value I bring to the table.
In the not too distant past, I probably would’ve taken that personally, especially from family. I know that Emperor has helped elevate my sense of internal power and worth now to the point that it almost doesn’t matter what anyone thinks anymore…I was somewhat amused instead of put off by his crappy proposal and manipulation tactics.
Also, in the past I would’ve nuked the opening for future opportunity because handling that type of situation in a skillful way wasn’t easy or natural for me.
Yet this time, despite having a few drinks in me, during our interaction I saw clearly how he leveraged specific knowledge about me to get me into my feelings so he could get the response he wanted from me – and it was a pretty good attempt – but being aware of it reduced it’s effectiveness, which is probably due to PCC. One of the laws talks about “knowing a man’s thumbscrews” and he definitely tried to use mine.
This is where Instant Business Tactician activated since I immediately began to set up a counter proposal, which I pulled out of thin air. I just “saw” what a better situation for the both of us could be (maybe Mind’s Eye at work), and knowing what he truly wanted out of the partnership, I launched into it.
He was interested, and the door is still open. Since I didn’t have anything concrete on offer, of course there was no deal made, but there’s a seed planted for the future. It might become something. Might not. There are other reasons I’m holding off going into a deal with him at the moment.
But the feeling I had at the end of that conversation was electric. And we continued on with the fun.
I’m starting to see more potential pathways to wealth pop up in my mind – maybe from RICH and Yggdrasil in my custom ultima, or EoG St2 and Mind’s Eye – and it feels like all I have to do is set them up, put systems in place, and they can start generating cash flow for me. But there’s also a competing limiting belief somewhere that says “nah, it can’t be that easy.” So it isn’t.
I know the only thing limiting me is me, and it’s both frustrating and exciting.
I’m going to run EoG St1 a little more and pay attention to replacing those limiting thoughts.
Writing this all out has helped some with gaining clarity about what I should stack for the next few weeks. Probably run this stack:
- 1-2x Pathbreaker
- 1x Sage Immortal
- 1x EoG St1
