The Empire of Resolute

Day 20

Lifting

Dieting

  • 2 meals, 1 snack

Thoughts

Busy day, needing to schedule meditation sessions. I’m going to set aside time each day, probably early in the morning because if I’m busy - I either don’t do it or do it half heartedly. By night, I am usually too tired to meditate. I can’t believe tomorrow is the final listening day. The 3 weeks flew by.

Day 21

Subliminal

  • Dragon Reborn: Phoenix (15 minutes)

Lifting

  • rest

Meditation

  • 0m

Dieting

  • 1 meal, 5 snacks

Thoughts

That’s Phoenix done, full cycle - full loops. I’m happy with that, it’s what I set out to do. I wanted to push myself hard and I did. Washout now then onto a new subliminal stack.

My choice for a new 3 subliminal stack was between The New Emperor, Emperor: AoW, Emperor: TWTP and Inner Circle. I put my goals and each subliminal objectives into chatgpt and it analysed the strengths and weaknesses of each sub in respect to my goals and concluded Emperor, AoW and TWTP was the best stack choice. Inner Circle will have to be for another time.

New habits (some old):

  • meditation: 15 mins a day minimum
  • lifting: 5 days
  • dieting: 2 meals, no snacking
  • nofap: no P, no M, yes S
  • productivity: to-do list (wealth focus)
  • reading: daily, to learn
  • cold shower: morning and night

My primary goal remains emotional mastery, because it’s the most powerful tool I have ever experienced. I am tightening up my discipline with the habit tasks. I don’t get too hung up missing habits, but as an Emperor, I’m aiming for the next level. I’d best start by getting my shit together now, in preparation :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m changing the lifting routine, going for a minimalist approach of squat, bench press, deadlift, weighted pull ups and weighted walks. I hear that I should lift on all movement planes, and someone should probably care about this, but not me - I aim to be strong and lean as hell.

Now starts my washout and warmup for my new Emperor stack. I’m really excited to experience it.

Thoughts

I had dreams last night, I found myself dreaming of situations that provoked a fear, and halfway through each dream I overcame the fear and was assertive with whoever and whatever I was dealing with. I must going through Phoenix backlog processing.

Then the day went on and I had powerful emotions, but I was able to seat them within a deep masculinity. Extremely low neuroticism - no fucks to give. I’m not pretending to be alpha, I am becoming alpha - the flinch is going away, emotional detachment strengthens. I’m viewing people with a new curiosity, no longer am I stuck in a torturous thought / emotion / behaviour cycle, checking for “does this person like me?”. I don’t give a fuck if they like me and it feels amazing, and to cap it off - they generally do like me!

Day 25

Subliminal

  • washout day 4

Lifting

  1. back squat: 67.5x4,4,4,4,4
  2. boxing heavy bag: 20s/100sx5r

Meditation

  • 10m

Dieting

  • 1 meal, 3 snacks

Thoughts

More intense processing dreams. They were reframing the guilt and shame I have surrounding my actions when I used to get heavily intoxicated on alcohol.

A real grinder of a day, the heavy bag was a mood booster. I kept work / rest ratios easy because I didn’t know what to expect heart rate wise, but it was easy, and I think 30s/90s next workout will be better.

I played some sad music and did an “ugly cry” for 10 minutes. It felt pathetic, but it must have been needed. I might extend the washout to 7 days, I’ll see how I’m feeling tomorrow and the next day before I jump into the Emperor stack.

No dreams last night and feeling good today. I think that breakdown I had yesterday helped me out.

I’ll jump in with the new stack starting tomorrow. I’m pretty pumped for it. I’ll post up the new cycle overview that I’ve written up.

Thoughts

The transition from Phoenix to the Emperor’s stack has thus far been a success. The dreams changed, becoming smoother but also more cryptic. I like how I’m feeling.

Today, I felt powerful, a weakness switch turned off. I had amazing sex with my LTR, my cock was rock hard the entire time, even during 15-20 minutes of foreplay. I masturbated a few hours later because I was still horny, hence the nofap cross.

The lifting and dieting continues to get me in great shape, especially for my age (45 years old). I had some major attention from several women at the local swimming pool yesterday. My LTR was seeing it, because she stayed by my side and gave me lots of attention. No doubt this got her in the mood for sex this morning.

Against all odds, our relationship survives after she confessed to monkey branching (emotional affair) earlier this year. We’ve been close to separation on multiple occasions and this is the most confident I’ve felt that we are going to make it.

It’s been tough because there are kids involved and I didn’t want to fuck them up, but at the same time I didn’t want to be miserable with someone I hated. Now it feels like she’s starting to submit herself to me again, and is forgetting about the bad boy cunt who she’d planned to leave me for.

Here’s the infamous ‘pool side dad bod’ after today’s workout. ‘This isn’t even my final form’ :slightly_smiling_face:

Woke up feeling wrecked. I think I’m coming down with something. I’ll take a break from workouts and general tracking until I’m feeling better. I’ll keep logging the subliminal usage, to keep track of it, but yeah, I can’t get sick now, I’m too busy :sob:

I don’t know what the stack is doing, if anything yet. I don’t notice much difference, but maybe I have a little more egotistical based confidence. I feel relaxed and good about myself but I also have negative thoughts of others who are within my proximity.

I completely ignored this woman today who obsesses over me. She even went out of her way to make a comment to another guy I was talking to, in an effort to get my attention. This guy is fat and ugly so she was definitely doing it for me. I did consider fucking her at one stage as payback to LTR, but I knew what a shit storm she would create and I am glad that I managed to not be so shallow. I’m generally sick of women and their shit, which ironically enough is gaining their attention. It’s a crazy world.

Feeling better after resting a few days. I’ll get back into lifting soon, possibly tomorrow and restart tracking my other goals - meditation, dieting, nofap. I used the illness as an opportunity to cut back on coffee too, as a strategy to reduce neuroticism.

I’m cutting the experimental cycle short and washing out until the new year. There’s no fault with the subliminal stack, but I need a break to adjust myself to my life again.

Now that I’m I’m having sex again with my LTR and the relationship is recovering and moving forward - I’m feeling low as shit. The competition, the threat of losing it all - it had me operating at peak performance. I was motivated, sharp and on point. As usual, the hunt was better than the kill.

I’m going to take time to decompress and process everything, figure out where I’m heading before running subliminals again. Once the craziness of the Christmas / New Year period has passed, I’ll be ready again.

Day 13

Subliminals

  • washout 2

A funny story relating to my last post. I was contemplating why I was so fucking depressed all of a sudden, like I was feeling nuts. This supplement I started taking at the recommendations of a guy who is in better shape than me, who said it would help me get to 15% body fat, really fucked my head up for some reason. I stopped taking it for 48 hours now and I’m feeling back to normal. I did some research and found a few cases of people who had a reaction like mine on Reddit, but damn, no more of that shit for me. It made me feel psychotic. It was a prohormone, and I should have known better but the temptations of a shortcut got me.

I will do a shorter washout and restart a new cycle next Monday, but only run AoW and WTP for now.

Day 14

Subliminals

Day 15

Subliminals

Still kind of pondering what subliminal to run. I’m tempted to try something fun like Daredevil, Primal or even Wanted, just to finish the year off and get more serious again with the Emperor stack in 2026. I have been somewhat of a sub hopper in the past, I thought the journal would help stop this, but old habits die hard :sweat_smile:

I’ve decided to start a 3 week cycle of Chosen + Daredevil with focus on:

Habits:

  • workout (x5 week)
  • meditation / breathe work
  • intermittent fasting
  • nofap (porn & masturbation)

Goals:

  • body fat reduction
  • connect with others
  • be more engaging
  • have more positive feelz

Workouts to be strength endurance for the next 3 weeks with one endurance session each week for maintenance. After this, I’ll get back into max strength with high intensity conditioning (heavy bag) and endurance maintenance.

As for the new sub stack, it seems like the right one for the moment. I’ll take some pressure off myself for now, and look into running the Emperor stack again next year.

I never followed through with my last post. I messed around with a few hypnosis tracks instead. They seemed effective at first but the placebo effect is a hell of a thing.

The habits:

  • nofap
  • mobility
  • workout
  • intermittent fasting
  • meditation

I’m not 100% sure what subliminals I’ll run. The objectives from E: TWP does cover so much for me and I could run it solo.

However, I’m also tempted to stack a second sub that can improve my attractiveness.

My relationship with LTR has been going exceptionally well, she’s once again engaged and attracted to me, and sex has been amazing. Between nofap and her intensity during, I can’t last as long as I used to. I wonder if a sub can help in that area or maybe I should give up nofap so I’m not so sensitive.

I’ll make a decision and start a new subliminal cycle tomorrow. I’ll also become busy at work again, so I won’t be able to workout as hard but I’m going to do strength days on Monday and Friday and a conditioning day on Wednesday, while aiming to do a 10 minute mobility routine every morning.
