That is the state to be in!
Time to make things happen!
Then sit back and enjoy a drink when you’re done and living in financial freedom.
P.S. 3 hours… “ready to go”? I could NEVER!

I’ll never want to
Emperor has other plans for me though
Yesterday was nuts in terms of my energy, especially considering I only had 3 hours of sleep…
That’s not the picture I’d have painted of sleep-deprived me if anyone had asked before yesterday. Past me would be grumpier, more lethargic, and ready to eat all the junk food.
Instead I stuck to my workout regimen, ate clean, and tackled tasks head on with a positive frame.
And btw, no performance enhancing drugs were used besides some coffee during the morning.
I’m taking this effect as a clear sign that Emperor ZP is starting to integrate better (since I don’t feel recon much anymore), and that Limitless ZP is expressing a lot more in this second 21-day cycle – whereas I barely noticed it in the first 21-day cycle.
Who woulda thought that a lighter stack and consistent use would produce faster results?
I expect I’ll learn these lessons a little faster going forward
I didn’t.
Instead, I picked up Mind’s Eye ZP, tossed it into the mix immediately, and experimented with exposure a little. Starting on the 10th day of my Limitless-Emperor cycle.
The result?
Recon of the deepest order. Nothing like any other recon I’ve experienced so far…
Imagine riding a roller coaster in complete darkness with only a bar across your lap. Yea, no harness. And this ride goes upside down too. Now imagine that you couldn’t get off the ride and instead of waiting patiently for the bar to release at the end you said, “Let’s go again.” But the track changed, and you couldn’t predict the scary, gut-tumbling parts like you thought you could.
It was kind of like that.
(and I take full accountability for choosing to say “again” over the course of last week)
But I’ve had my fill of the thrill, and I’m washing out now.
The part about this recon that fascinates me – and the major reason why I stayed onboard and white-knuckled it – is that I’m walking out of it with deeper insights into the direction I need to go moving forward.
Even though I wasn’t productive with existing business endeavors, the recon on Mind’s Eye didn’t stop me from using new tools and researching information to open my mind to the possibilities – the existing cognitive enhancements from LImitless probably didn’t hurt either – and it resolved into an understanding of a deep-seated restlessness I’ve felt for awhile. Something my conscious awareness had been brushing off due to insecurities around it.
Arriving to that insight felt like what I imagined Neo felt when he met the Oracle for the first time.
Not insignificant.
So, after this washout period, I’m changing things up.
After a period of 8 months with the Emperor archetype, I’m moving into the Stark archetype.
My intent to climb the mountains of wealth is stronger than ever. How I realize my financial independence is all that’s changing.
For the first cycle, I’m settled on running Stark + Chosen From Within…and don’t know about the 3rd ZP, if any.
I want to reintroduce Spartan to the mix since I have a hard Spartan race on the calendar, and a literal mountain I want to climb. But those events are four months away. Plenty of time for another dose of Mind’s Eye, I think.
Decisions for the end of my washout in 3 days.
That’s it for this update.
It’s the last day of my 5-day washout period after my 2nd cycle of ZP.
I still wrestle with some old patterns of thought, but I can feel a shift at a fundamental level. Like I’m waking up to what’s actually possible for me.
Ok, today’s the day. After reading all the hype for Stark ZP and Chosen From Within, I get to begin. Those two will be in the stack for the full 46 day cycle, and Mind’s Eye is going to be the third ZP in the stack for at least the first 21 days.
As I ran my first loop of Stark, I opened up my browser to start with a bit of learning since I like to prime my mind before getting into the tasks for the day, and this is first thing that popped up:
Ran my stack in the morning yesterday and didn’t feel anything noticeable. Nothing I could immediately recognize in the moment anyway.
One thing stands out though that lets me know the subs are at work…
I had a vivid dream last night that played out a relationship scenario that mirrored the end of a long-term relationship where my heart got broken by the girl I thought I’d marry. Instead of behaving the way I did IRL, in the dream I let the truth and sadness of the situation wash over me and I paused to consider my role in it all. Then I woke up with the thought of how I would’ve addressed it: I would’ve chosen to walk away instead of try to fix it. Which is what I did IRL, and it led to a worse ending only a few years later.
Chosen From Within… swinging for the fences on the first at-bat: the deeper reason I haven’t had a serious relationship in at least 5 years now.
Not bad.
Sure I didn’t wake up happy, but I did feel a sense of deep calm.
