I’m hotly anticipating ZP v2 and upgrading my entire stack for it.
Also, I think I will give Paragon Sleep another chance via the experimental.

There’s a lot of things I want to talk about. I need to give myself the space to process my thoughts and to upgrade my mind.
If you believe that imagination creates reality, you will never allow yourself to dwell on your problems, for you will realize that as you do you perpetuate them all the more.
It is this quote that motivates my writing today, because my thinking pattern during my idle times can drift towards a lot of nonsense.
A pattern I’ve noticed consistently over time is that I have all these negative imaginations. These negative imaginations present a heavily distorted reality in which I am made out to be the victim. Or, they depict some scenarios centered around destruction and suffering. How is that good for me, and why do I choose to think these things? It’s diametrically opposed to happiness. No wonder I had questions about the point of NF/SR. My understanding is that I am happier practicing NF/SR, because my other options will make me happier both in the moment and in the longer term. However, if I have some idle time and I choose to imagine negative stuff (a negative self-concept, which encompasses my view of myself and the world), how is that going to make me happier? It then becomes more understandable why I would consider such means of escape.
Perhaps the world isn’t perfect however I can choose to imagine better within my own mind. Earlier today when I was exercising I saw my idle mind drift towards these kinds of problematic thoughts and imaginations.
Why do I do this? That’s an interesting question because this kind of thinking has been in the background for years. It gets aggravated by certain practices. I’m certain pmo is one such practice which is why it must remain cut out of my life. But what’s the root cause? I can recall it going back deep into the past, well before I ever did pmo or had most of my current lifestyle in fact. Honestly, the question of why isn’t that important.
What’s more important is how I’m going to fix it. I should be confident in changing this pattern without knowing exactly why. (tangent: It probably has some connection with human nature’s tendency to focus on the negative and the overthinking I’ve displayed in my life before.) The end goal here is to choose imagining of the positive in my idling times. Perhaps just start with myself smiling in front of the mirror to begin with. Then it can become more dynamic later. One challenge I have had with breaking out of this kind of thinking habit is quickly determining what to think about instead. Now of course, when I sit down to analyze what I could think about there’s a lot.
The problem is when I don’t pick those things in the moment. It’s a habit. Perhaps I should start with something simple and static and let that be a gateway into an overall thread of positive images .
I am going to manifest that my mind chooses to imagine good for myself in general because I know that’s going to make me happier than sitting around imagining all this nonsense otherwise. Now it makes perfect sense that I’m experimentally running LBFH ZPv2 for the rest of Stack 7, because it will speed up this shift.
I was by myself for all of yesterday. No hangouts. I didn’t leave my apartment complex. Yet I was at peace for most of the day…
Though I did have that peace I wasn’t that productive personally, either. I believe this happened because I didn’t set up an intention to do much on this day. I did go into it wistfully thinking that someone would invite me to a hangout or event, or that something spontaneous would occur. That didn’t work out. I wish more stuff like that would happen, though. MFO can you help out? Speaking of which, I need to upgrade MFO to MFO ZPv2!
What I learned from my time yesterday is that I still must maintain being a leader of my own life and give myself the right direction. I once ran CHOSEN to become a better leader at work to get the next promotion. While I don’t feel the need to run CHOSEN again, I through my own efforts must give myself direction to my subliminals, instead of just “letting things happen naturally.”
Finally, I observed that I did not beat myself up for not making anything social happen. Now I did try to push for a meetup with someone from the apps, however, I think my being slightly impatient affected the way I texted. That’s a learning lesson for me. Still, I could have easily messaged a bunch of my friends for a meet. I did not do that. What gives?
I’m running MFO and Daredevil. It’s been almost two weeks since I came back from my trip. And I’ve been by myself at my place for a few days. Where’s the motivation?
I wish Daredevil ZP pushed me more to go out there and make things happen—and I know that one advancement of ZP is that it’s not as forcing as Q. I wonder how Daredevil ZPv2 will fare with me. Based off of the LBFH ZPv2 runs I am more hopeful. But I digress.
Before going on my trip, I was pushing myself but in a bad way. I was worried about needing to make things happen right now. I had moved out to my place and gotten the promotion. The next step? Find a girlfriend and have a bustling social life. I was also pushing myself with fear, thinking that it was getting late, that I need to catch up, yada yada. Unfortunately, this kind of approach did not work. All it did was lead to a lot of overthinking and days with negative feelings. This disappeared after the trip and I’m not going back to this now.
So now what do I do? During the first week back here I did not question this because I clearly needed to rest up after my trip (also, there was one event that happened so I was okay with that), and also because I already saw within myself changes towards a new inner peace about my overall life situation.
Even now, I don’t write this with much feeling about it. I’m writing it based off an attempt to be logical, because my mind does like to think about “how” I’m going to get to my goals.
I’m very much open to feedback about my situation.
I’ve started thinking about how I’ll rebuild MFO for ZPv2. May be time to change some modules.
In light of my rebuilding MFO for ZPv2 in the near future, let’s review the module list. I’ll list them again and put comments where I feel like it.
Reviewing the module list I am reminded how heavily it is based on manifestation and setting up a particular state/perception of myself.
What a week so far. Every day has brought something interesting to the table, beyond just food for thought. Today, I had to deal with a failing car and a continued challenge to keep focused at work. Why the work part? Well…
In light of the economic situation and trouble it has brought upon businesses, my company joined the ranks of many which have laid off workers. When it happened this week it shocked me, even though I personally was not directly hit by it. It was just shocking to see coworkers I was talking with one day be gone the next day.
To think this happened so suddenly…I can’t think about it too much. It’s not a productive thing to do. The best focus I can give here is gratitude that I have kept my job, that I currently have job stability. Focusing on the fact that this happened, thinking about “how, why” and engaging at or listening in on discussions that other people are holding about the layoffs haven’t been good for morale and also haven’t been good for my productivity. It as of late also led me to some funny behavior, like this evening where I decided to go a bit crazy with food and drink…thankfully I had fasted all day, so that limits the extent of how much I’ve had today.
So much of my life and my experience of it is dictated by my attention. I hope to manage my attention better.
Tomorrow’s run:
Shooting around some ideas here.
I’m going to go on another trip next week, and on that trip I want to do some more experimentation. November 16 marks the beginning of stack 8, so I’ll have the experiment run from then through the end of the trip, which goes through Thanksgiving. Here’s the motivation for the experiment.
Current idea,
? could be:
@SaintSovereign how many times should we listen to a sub for full duration before we go to microloops? And also can we try the microloop strategy 5 days on/2 days off?
At least 2-3 times. Then do the micro loop strategy. Stick with the same listening pattern. Those microloops can build up over time and the recon will hit HARD.
Wait aren’t microloops suppose to resolve faster than a full length loop?
Going to experiment with a microloop for this last run of LBFH v2 right now.
Running:
Also with regards to the experiment: I’m open to running something besides MFO for the duration.
Oh wow, I can feel LBFH hit me as I listen to the second sub.
I’m pretty excited to start this experimental detour.
Here’s what I’m thinking: Just Libertine ZPv2 + Wanted ZPv2. These two titles will form a great synergy. I won’t introduce a third title.
Listening strategy:
2 title stacks are underrated! Love it.
As for what’s going to be effective in terms of making a specific date go well, I can’t say I’ve ran seduction subliminals to really know…
One recommendation for me on 30s loops is to listen to them first thing in the morning so I’m on that frequency the whole day… my subconscious creates conscious actions, then my conscious actions tell my subconscious how to be, then my subconscious starts being that way even after the subliminal wears off.
Also, based on some anecdotal reports, libertine in the exp version doesn’t have that same “fast acting” effect that it did when designed in ultima.
Maybe that’s an overblown finding by one waylaying user who has something going on for him, specifically, I don’t know, but it wouldn’t hurt to give libertine more time to bloom and wanted more time to make your face pretty and your muscles big before your date
Ultimately, you just gotta test 30s and decide if it worked or not in hindsight
Alright guys, here’s my take on the experimental stack so far, where I’ve listened to just ONE loop of:
That was on yesterday. I don’t plan to listen to it until Saturday. As to why, read on.
Results:
It’s time to prepare for MFO v2. Buying subs, getting a build ready.
I hope I am not missing out on a Black Friday sale.
Let’s set aside for the moment my inconsistent journaling recently here and talk about what happened today.
Listened (warning, below indicates experimental territory):
In the evening after work, I did a dinner hangout with someone I reconnected with only very recently. She invited me to this as she was already getting dinner with some of her friends there. I thought okay, this is a chance to see her again and also enjoy a conversation. The latter is what I went into the hangout with the intention of: just enjoying the meetup itself. No expectation that it needs to play into some bigger narrative or be part of a master plan where I get with her or something like that.
I’ve remembered recently that conversations and hangouts in of themselves can be enjoyable, without having to connect to a larger story in an obvious way. That lesson is what got me to consider this hangout.
I have a lot of takeaways from what happened this evening.
Last but not least, I am glad I took this action to go to the hangout simply for what it was. I notice I didn’t even go in with the idea that I need to have some deep takeaways—wasn’t trying to analyze every step of it. The stuff I wrote about just unfolded upon reflection.
Enjoy this moment right now.
Listened via microloops:
This whole past week has been pretty eventful. Starting from the beginning of the week where I reconnected with someone I haven’t talked to in years all the way to today where I had a lot of fun conversations, this week has seen pretty rapid personal growth. I can say that running the loops of the social subs has helped me have the energy and willingness to follow through with massive action. Throughout the week, I took part in a lot of social actions. Simultaneously, I learned a lot more about myself.
I’m looking for a massive boost in momentum through AsCh v2, but where is this sub? Is it on the way? We’ve heard eerily little about it (or if it’s even going to be a thing). Hmm…
I look forward to seeing this momentum continue.
Much has happened in my life throughout these past few months, however I must say that I am happy with my life right now. Things are looking up socially speaking. I also have a much more positive outlook on my life than I did a few months ago.
I’m building up the momentum for greatness next year. Speaking of which, next year I plan to start my stack as following:
I briefly considered doing WANTED instead of Khan and EF, however, I believe I need a high-powered, targeted approach for two key things:
Great! We’re now in 2023, which means I’m setting up a new journal for my adventures. I like the idea of dividing journals up by years.
The journal is here: SubliminalUser - Taking Massive Action
@RVConsultant I am requesting this thread be closed!
