Is it worth it for me to pause MFO to experiment with Paragon Sleep for 21 days (45 days if I see clear results in the first 21)? I’d do this in stack 6. Wondering whether there’s a severe opportunity cost.

Frankly, I myself don’t know when it is the right time to change stacks in terms of long-term results. I know the minimum for each stack is 2 cycles to see results but how to determine when it is the right time to change?
The longer the better of course. But I myself am undecided on what to focus on next due to too many choices lol.
Of course this comes from not having immediate and urgent goals so I guess for both of us the answer will come from the answer “What are your urgent/important goals right now?”. And we will have to decide based on that and choose a stack and run it until we reach those goals.
Either that or be in experimental mode to try things out. Depends on you.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself.” I’ve heard this a lot this weekend through the various conversations I’ve had…
This weekend has been unusually rich with insightful conversations. It hasn’t been the empty weekend I initially thought it was going to be. It’s why I’m here today to acknowledge that I have made a mental breakthrough regarding how I view my coworkers and how they fit into my overall plan for social goals:
They don’t. At least, not as part of advancing said social goals in any meaningful form.
I still had some inner turmoil over this weekend because I couldn’t really reconcile my desire to be more friendly with them. More precisely, I felt like I was obligated to be more like friends with them rather than the current neutral-ish behavior I have at work, due to several factors (one being that they’re in my age range). However, in an insightful conversation I had this weekend, I was able to clarify my thinking and understand that essentially my desire (or sense of obligation towards them) wasn’t well-founded, to begin with. Yes, I have social goals, and I want to build an amazing scene for myself. However, as my good friend helped me see, these coworkers simply don’t fit into my larger picture. In my imagination for example, I don’t really see them there. Nor am I of the opinion that they could really help me advance in my desired social goals.
So I came to the conclusion that actually, neutrality is the best option for me. I shouldn’t set my expectations high and put in so much effort to change a situation for what is likely little or no return on investment. That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be rude to them. That doesn’t mean I can’t see an opportunity to at least observe subliminal results through my interactions with them. It means my expectations of them and where things will go are going to be much lower, and I will smartly redirect my efforts (time and energy) elsewhere.
I have decided I will not do the jump to run Paragon Sleep. I’ve learned from my runs the first half of this year that results become very profound when I decide to stick with a title and run it for multiple stacks without break. The “Three stacks go a long way” heuristic is something backed up by my experience. With MFO being potentially one of the most transformative subs ever, I will stick with it for stack 6.
Coming up for Stack 6!
- MFO
- Daredevil (New!)
- PCC (New!)

I can say for a fact that while this washout is only going into its third day, it’s a been an effective one. I say effective instead of good because through the weekend I had a lot of thoughts and emotions come up, oftentimes of a negative variety. It was exacerbated by the fact that I have been at the place all by myself. My flatmate has been gone from the area for a while to deal with a personal matter. Yesterday, there was a point where I was just reeling in sadness for a few hours. That was not a good position to be in.
However, I did get access to a significant resource which I believe will help me greatly with regards to the goals of MFO. I was connected to it by a good friend. One fear that popped up in response to the incoming abundance of success in the romantic space is how I will be able to manage while also being productive at work, planning my next trip which is in October (I’m afraid to say that its planning is still too undeveloped for comfort) and basically running the rest of my life.
Yea. I am starting to believe that I’m going to have such success that that so-called problem could become a real thing. Maybe I’m thinking of that too early, but at the same time, this is partly manifestation-speak. On the other hand, there is a basis for this concern right now. The aforementioned resource is going to take some time to study and put into action. This is a resource I am looking to study while I also deal with the other things I mentioned, such as trip-planning (e.g. finding hotels) and doing some further setup for my apartment. Of course, I also need to be productive at work, too. In other words, I ideally simultaneously do all these things during this week. It’ll be interesting to see where things go…
When Does Stack 6 begin?
Technically, today is the final full day of the washout. However, I want to start stack 6 by doing evening runs. This means that with the first run (anticipated to be Daredevil + PCC) being tomorrow evening, I am pushing closer to four washout days. This is great, because it’ll give my mind further time to process the challenging subs of LBFH and Khan ST1!

Stack 6
Man Finds Others with Offense and Defense (MFO: O&D)
Given the long-term nature of the continuous manifestation of ideal people through the scripting of MFO, it’s inevitable that I’m going to succeed socially and romantically. Let’s get the skills to make that happen. One can even say that the decision to run Daredevil and PCC is a manifestation of MFO!
Listened:
- PCC
- Daredevil (DD — funny acronym since it reminds me of the Marvel superhero)
I originally intended to listen to the above titles in the reverse order but in light of some recent events, I thought it would be more beneficial to be able to initially express the defensive element of my stack.
The vertical bar in this entry delineates stuff before and after I ran the above since I ran it in the middle of the day.
The best news of the day was finding that my intern is going to get a return offer. I have seriously understated in this journal the undertaking that journey was. That intern did a lot of stuff during this summer to earn it, of course. However, I had to sell this HARD, in a time where due to economic conditions the company was not willing to hire even most interns. I am so amazed by how it happened.
- I had explicitly manifested over a month ago that this would happen. No kidding—I wrote down the outcome that got confirmed today. And I see that there are quite a few subs that were involved in this multi-month process:
- Chosen
- ME
- LBFH
- MFO (parts of it, like Direct Influencing Aura and Inner Circle, may have helped)
- I did not run True Sell when making my case for this individual. However, I was running LBFH in stack 5b and I was at the end of the washout when the outcome was confirmed today. It’s really amazing how it happened. Despite there being some conflicting opinions from people who supported my intern, the high-level director overrode those opinions, and here we are. This is just outstandingly unusual.
- That moment when I was able to share the news…I’m not going to forget. It was such a good feeling and I can easily bring it back to my imagination even now.
I feel so happy about this. I’ve replayed the scene multiple times throughout the day already because of the positive emotion it brings to me. So glad that I was able to lead someone toward great success. And this particular individual is someone I feel I will see again in the future, even after they leave the company soon. I am so glad I was able to do something this impactful for someone, and make some kind of significant difference in a person’s life.
As I journal about this it makes me wonder why I have chosen on numerous occasions recently to pity myself and my situation instead. One of those occasions includes below, which I was focused on before I started this journal entry and thought back to the beginning of the day. My biggest takeaway from the development described above is that my manifestation power has become huge and that I can accomplish anything. I have the ability to positively impact people’s lives and I should always remember that. As I write this I feel a massive dose of optimism about my ability to enact change in my own life.
So later in the middle of the workday (which gets a bit slow), I decide to run the Stack 5b new titles. The particular order is motivated by the following:
I got news recently about a friend getting engaged (no idea about the relationship beforehand) and then heard some funny stuff from my parents about how this relates to me (you all can imagine it, it’s nothing complex but it irks me). And an unrelated event where I’d see my parents again was going to occur in the evening. So I thought hey, let’s activate social defenses.
At that evening event, things were all good—I wasn’t even talking with my parents. However, on the way out, one of them decided to lightheartedly bring up the aforementioned friend’s life development and suggested now it’s my turn next. I didn’t feel so good about that, and that’s when I quickened my exit from the scene.
- Another comment I wanted to add was how I got complimented that I look so young. I felt happy about this but also a little down when I contextualize it in the current set of things I have been worrying about (“shouldn’t that have helped me with this thing by now?” and “Man, my guessed age reflects a period of my life now long-gone by…”). Well, why worry now? I in the near future am going to be doing actions (such as getting back on the apps) that will heavily leverage this very aspect of myself. I know, I know—this is a little hard to articulate properly, so for the sake of brevity I’m going to leave it at that.
I am not fearful like I once was about this stuff. I am recalling my journal entries where I talked about how I have evolved such that I can’t take that stuff so seriously. Not like I can be coerced. Especially now that I’ve moved out to my own place. The fear left is the fear of conflict. There have been a lot of people who have helped me mentally resolve these things, spanning from friends to people online (thanks @PurpleRT73)!
It’s also pretty clear by now that manifestation helps me with this kind of stuff. Manifesting out of conflict, manifesting having no conflicts in the first place, and of course, manifesting my own solution to dating/romance. However, I have noticed a tendency for me to dramatize problems in my mind and I would like for that to go away. It’s not helpful at all. This is untenable and I’m getting sick of it—it’s been dragging on for weeks now (basically since I got the virus).
- Is this what they mean by “long covid?” See, I’m dramatizing again…
Anyway, all of this is why I have PCC in my stack to deeply install a super-defense. With three rotations planned you better believe I’ll be warding off a lot of bullshit. I need to get my emotions together and that’s where PCC can come in and help. I need to solidify an iron frame both internally and externally.
One interesting thing to note: Unlike my first loop of MFO, there’s nothing about today’s experience where I can say the “trailer effect” was in play.

Wishing for more blessings to come your way
Just a partner left now 
Today’s an interesting day because despite the massive career wins that occurred this week, I was feeling down for a chunk of the day due to dealing with some odd symptoms that I theorize are a part of long covid. The physical inability was once again being conflated with the ability to succeed in the next goal—one that Invictus touched upon.
It was not until my phone call with a friend who was willing to hear me out that I really appreciated the win that had just happened. Me getting promoted is a truly massive life event. With the job stability and financial boost it provides, I can now better focus my efforts on things in the department of romance. However, I realize this particular promotion is a life milestone. It’s the role I talked about having years ago. It’s the promotion that I scripted at the beginning of the year. It’s what I’ve been running towards for most of this year, and it defined the design of my stacks for the first half of this year.
I finally got it. Here we are. I am blessed, and I am grateful for this.
Thank you very much @Invictus, means a lot coming from you

It’s been a long day. Let’s recap some of the details of today.
- I woke up an hour earlier than expected. Still did my upper-body workout, however I did it at my complex’s gym, which is pretty good. It’s got all the machines I want. I think I will switch to doing only machines for my upper body as it appears to work those muscles much more easily.
- My upper back has been sore the entire day, which has been pretty annoying. Made me feel not so good about myself, like I can’t do as much as before. Funny stuff considering I know this is temporary.
- Things at work were just alright. I felt the low energy creep in.
I felt weird and bad about today due to all the fatigue and muscle soreness, which made me worry if it had something to do with post-covid. This fatigue-ness of course crept into my social interactions, which I doubly wasn’t appreciative of because of having to do them while fatigued (kept fairly quiet and not talkative) and also because they are with coworkers—this relates back to the realization a few journal entries ago where I realized they basically don’t contribute to a bigger social goal.
But does it really have to be mechanical like that? Can’t I manifest that things change so that I enjoy my time with them nonetheless? And that this is effortless, requiring minimal intervention on my part? I wish someone or something could do this for me, but ultimately the power rests within myself. I wish Daredevil or PCC changed something…
I don’t see that much evidence of Daredevil and PCC yet, but of course it has only been one loop and I am still dealing with some general fatigue.
Honestly, all of these physical conditions has got me feeling more down than I have the right to be, given how much greatness is currently in my life. I did a gratitude exercise before I got to this journal and I do feel a bit better. But I still wonder whether I’d benefit from completely working from home next week. I feel like I’m not giving myself enough time to truly recover.
I keep pushing myself into the next thing and this might be harmful right now.
Listened:
- Daredevil
- PCC
FYI I list the titles in the order they are listened to. So note here that I did Daredevil before PCC instead of the other way around (as I did the first time).
It was a pretty good day, although I recognized I continued to need rest. I mostly focused on getting great photos of myself taken. I got a good friend to take a lot of great photos of me which I believe will help my experience using the apps big time. In other words, the photo-taking sessions today is part of the things I’m doing for MFO. Speaking of which…
This is highly significant since it means I can confidently rule out the notion of having to rerun chosen or continue career stacks (this was already pretty unlikely by the time I ended stack 5). Now that my career has developed to a great extent, I can focus properly on social, dating, and romance stuff.
Anyway, the evening was fairly straightforward and I expect tomorrow to not have much happen as well.
Been too long since I’ve updated this journal. Lot’s going on.
I’m getting some interesting ideas right now…such as actually switching out AsCh with a once-a-week run of Paragon Sleep. Highly experimental, but given that AsCh’s power level is above that of Paragon Sleep, how much recon may I experience? 
I feel like doing this experiment due to sleep being key to my goals!

Recon always depends on how much of an issue a certain topic clashes with you.
If sleep is important, and you feel you have a decent amount of blockages related in achieving a good night’s sleep, it will cause decent - moderate recon as far as I know. Do exercise caution if you engage in Paragon Sleep, alright?

I haven’t tried Paragon Sleep but I keep alternating on running Ascension Chamber since it doesn’t give me remarkable results due to the fact that I don’t have that many pathways of manifestation.
I will run Ascension Chamber when I have more opportunities to be out and about.
Having run AsCh for 6 months at this point (and completed 3 stacks of ME and currently running MFO for social manifestation), I think manifestation power isn’t really the thing I need to increase right now. This is why I’m comfortable dropping AsCh.
Today begins the special experiment of using Paragon Sleep weekly instead of AsCh.
Unlike the rest of my titles, I’m going to listen to PaSl (abbreviating it as if it were an AsCh like title) once a week, for the full duration of 15 minutes. I noticed that people like @Fractal_Explorer were getting results with weekly runs of titles even as part of the ordinary three slots. Of course, in some sense it might be said I am doing 4 ZP titles so there is still some risk of unforeseen recon.
It’s a risk I’m willing to take given the current state of sleep, though. People can find my entries where I’m talking about my dissatisfaction with sleep literally many months back (in fact, all the way to the beginning of this journal). Moving, having a new bed and in a place where light currently shines through more hasn’t helped. I know there is some action to take on my part besides running PaSl, such as getting blackout curtains, to improve my sleep. Let’s see what this title can do.
Just like AsCh, PaSl is going to be run on Sun/Mon but this time relatively close to sleep (pretty much at the time I’d take a physical sleep supplement)

Just came on here to say I need to manifest better sleep haha. I made the change to better pillows yesterday. I know they’re better because I took them from the old place. Yet the sleep in the night left something to be desired…
