Stephen R. Covey was your mentor? Holy dope! I envy you, mate!

I met him through the HBS alumni program in 1992 when I spend one year abroad in the U.S. for my own Ph.D. studies. From the very beginning I admired his work but I think this was before he got acknowledged by a wide audience outside the U.S. through his books. He had a gift to really make you feel appreciated for what you are trying to achieve. And in my eyes he really was an example for living what he was teaching. Just by observing how he was behaving you could learn many invaluable lessons.

That’s wonderful, I’m so happy for you. I’m also a huge fan of his work, I never met him, but what I read about him makes it clear that he really embodied what he taught. “The Seven Habits of highly Effective People” was the first book that opened my eyes really for self-development. Before, I was stuck in the mindset of “you have what you got, and you are who you are”. Through this book, I learned that it is possible to be the master and captain of your own feelings, behaviors and fate. It was so crucial for my own development.

Hero has been calling me since its release and now I‘m ready. Together with my new EqV custom (G:HJ+A:S) this is going to be an incredible journey. It’s a huge paradigm shift for me, a completely new chapter has begun! Up until now on my two years and a couple of months with subliminals I‘ve always tried to use them as a tool to influence (maybe manipulate) others. The last two days I was meditating in the forest and I‘ve returned with a new understanding of my reality. It‘s time to step up and elevate myself. I‘ve spend the last four months in grief and inertia and I think thanks to EmpD and HS I‘ve overcome the darkest moments and now I can see a silver lining on the horizon. Now is the time!
This is the new EqV, just a tiny change to my first draft from two weeks ago. I’ve ordered it today.
New Eqv
#1 Genesis: Art of Happiness and Joy Core
#2 Alchemist: Singularity Core
#3 Inner Gasoline
#4 Dopaminergic Revival
#5 Joy of Wealth
#6 You Are Not Alone
#7 Code of Loyalty
#8 Safety Net
#9 Limiting People Remover
#10 Attachment Destroyer
#11 Formless Clarity
#12 Mimisbrunnr
#13 Living Truth
#14 Art of Trust
#15 Pathways of Intuition
#16 Synergy: Beyond Connection (2)
#17 Synergy: Venus Unveiled (3)
#18 Synergy: Harmonic Conflux (2)
#19 Synergy: Preordained Vitality (5)
#20 Synergy: Energetic Transcendence (5)
The Living Truth module that I added in my iteration from February is blazing, it’s like it has brought a conviction to my beliefs, I’m no longer questioning many things, I’m able to tell things how they are. Now I’m actually looking forward to the virtue scripting in Hero, I can absolutely see its benefits.
Since last time I have finished three cycles of EqV (G:HaJ+A:S) and LB. Want to make it short:
EqV:
- feels light
- not sure if G:HaJ gives me instand good mood; I think it helps me with slowing down and reflecting on what is most important to me (though my whole custom is geared towards this)
- with A:S I can sense people’s emotions by the way they move
- will continue with this custom
LB:
- different than Heartsong; different recon, different processing
- started with microloops (30s → 40s → 50s → 60s for one whole cycle; next cycle 1min30s) - it does work! no recon like last year, but my live circumstances have also changed drastically, so it might also be more an alignment of my reality with LB’s objectives
- does not make me dwell on old relationship regrets
- not sure if it has strong healing; only the self-forgivness and self-acceptance seem to work as “healing”
- makes me feel ok with what is; I like that; also helps to accept others better
- has quite strong social benefits in my experience
- would love to continue but also want to restart my VdM (RM:V) custom; still don’t want to run three subs in the same cycle… maybe I can put LB into my EqV and replace Syn: Chosen of Venus - the first should cover this and give even more benefits
On another note:
- still haven’t tried LBfH, so still cannot tell the difference between that and LB
- the new Hero TLTB and Alchemist AEON look tempting but they seem overwhelming to me at the moment; they are just too massive, I cannot fit them into my stack; TLTB is effectively four subs and I would like to run at least three of them longer; AEON would cover at least four cycles in my stack…; I even haven’t found the time to read the whole sales pages, it’s just too much; so they are not for me at the moment; I just need at least two cycles to be able to tell what a sub can give me, just from one loop I can’t tell anything
What’s next:
- EqV + VdM
- continue on clearing my mental and emotional space (TLTB would be quite useful I guess) but that’s covered with EqV so far
Nearing the end of cycle four with EqV. Gonna need a break after that.
I’m in the middle of my washout and planning a new custom with GLM. This custom will succeed the current EqV. This is my take on the ultimate masculinity custom.
EqV with GLM
#1 Godlike Masculinity Core
#2 Love Bomb Core
#3 Alchemist: Singularity Core
#4 ESSENCE: The Experience of Joy and Love
#5 Male Enhancement
#6 Inner Gasoline
#7 Dopaminergic Revival
#8 Attachment Destroyer
#9 Limiting People Remover
#10 Pride Unbroken
#11 Living Truth
#12 Art of Trust
#13 Pathways of Intuition
#14 Flowing Freely
#15 Formless Clarity
#16 Joy of Wealth
#17 The Worthiness Recalibration
#18 Synergy: Wisdom of the Ages (4)
#19 Synergy: Preordained Vitality (5)
#20 Synergy: Harmonic Conflux (2)
I’m either combining it with HERO:TLTB or AEON. Then I’ll run this until the end of the year at least.
Was there something unique about how he behaved that you found interesting?
I wouldn‘t say unique but outstandig in his capacity to set aside his own perspective in the first place and his holistic approach to understand others first or at least make them feel understood. I also felt that he had a really high integrity and lived what he teached. I think this was the most important part: his words and actions were aligned.

Week 1 of EqV (GLM+LB+ESS:JoyLove) and DRR1. Listening on Mo, We, Fr: EqV always 3min, DRR1 30s → 40s → 50s.
Not much to report, maybe some kind of thoughts showing up that I also had on Heartsong, might be healing regarding my marriage. No recon so far.
Went through DRR1 in week 2 and 3 with listening times from 1m → 1m30s → 2m / 2m30s → 3m.
Felt a little recon at the end of week 3, with dreams indicating that some very old memories from adolescense are brought up. Interesting how a sub can dig that deep. I had one day where I felt a really bad mood at the end of the day and it is interesting that I very quickly, on the same evening, knew why I was feeling angry: I couldn’t live this day on my terms but mostly did things others where expecting from me. I think this was related to DRR and not so much to my EqV custom.
I’m on DRR2 since Monday. Started with 30s → 40s again, will do 50s on Friday. So the same pattern as with DRR1.

Finished DRR last week. Feeled the recon piling up in the end. Doing a washout since Thursday last week and I have a strong feeling to continue the washout until 2026. See you then!
Week 4 of my washout. I feel really great. It’s mandatory to do a longer washout from time to time. At the moment I think that I will start with Genesis:AoHaJ + DR:Regen in 2026. The latter seems to be a good next step after DR:Red.
Washout took a little longer than planned just because I was busy and forgot to resume with the subs.
Now I see that there are some new and updated products. Was thinking about building a new custom as an iteration from my EqV but honestly, whenever I look into the QStore and the modules, I feel overwhelmed because there are so many of them. I built maybe about twenty customs already but somehow it feels draining now to go through the ever expanding list of modules. Or maybe it is just a sign that I don’t need a new custom and should continue with my EqV from last year. That’s what I’m most likely going to do come next week. And I’m not going to throw in DR:Regen as hinted last year but I’ll try out IC:BRO.
Happy new year everyone, by the way.
3rd week of AEON st1. Worked my way up from 30s to 3min. Only played it once with another sub (a custom), so this is a one-sub-run. AEON st1 has to be the most soothing and calming sub that I every used, more so than Sanguine, A:Singularity or DR:Regen. It just feels absolutely chill. I did recognize the stabilizing effect in stressfull situations and I also felt the time modulation effect but in a somewhat reversed manner: my morning routine consists of streching for 15min and then meditating for another 15min. After that I get me a coffee and sit quietly for some more minutes to just enjoy the moment. This takes usually only 5 to 10 minutes. But in the last three weeks I began to experience these couple of minutes as really long and enjoyable and I was suprised more than once that I only spent 5 minutes that felt way longer and so I was very unhurried when I got ready for work afterwards because I had plenty of time left.

My plan is to pair AEON with Paragon Health Protocol once it is released. I did not start with the new Paragon although I bought it, because I read somewhere in the product discussion thread that Paragon would be more suitable if you want to become healthy, not so much if you want to stay healthy. Fire said something along the lines that Paragon Health Protocol will be more suited for the latter.

Had a very interesting dream last night. This is AEON st1 doing its healing. Mind you, I‘m not running Paragon or DR:Regen or anything else.
Summary of my AI conversation - very interesting!
Dream Description
You dreamed that while walking on a beach, you stepped on a piece of glass with your big toe.
A doctor you didn’t know removed the glass shard very skillfully and without pain.
Important details you mentioned:
• You felt calm during the whole situation and were not worried.
• The doctor was a stranger.
• The glass shard slipped out easily.
• There was no blood.
• The wound closed and healed very quickly, which made you feel a bit surprised and relieved.
Possible Symbolic Meaning
-
Glass shard in the foot / big toe
• Glass in dreams often symbolizes something fragile, hurtful, or an uncomfortable truth.
• Stepping on it can represent a small obstacle or irritation on your life path.
• The big toe is important for balance when walking, so symbolically it may relate to stability or direction in life. -
The beach
• A beach is often interpreted as the boundary between conscious thinking and emotions (land = rational mind, sea = emotions).
• This can indicate that the dream relates to processing feelings or inner thoughts. -
The doctor
• A doctor in dreams often symbolizes healing, support, or a problem-solving force.
• Since the doctor was unknown, he could represent:
• an inner healing ability
• clarity or rational thinking
• or unexpected help from someone or something. -
No pain and no blood
• In dream symbolism, injuries without pain or blood often suggest that the issue is minor or not truly damaging.
• It may mean a problem is less serious than it appears. -
The glass coming out easily
• The fact that it slipped out quickly suggests that something disturbing in your life may be easier to resolve than expected. -
Immediate healing
• The wound closing quickly often symbolizes:
• rapid emotional healing
• something that leaves no lasting damage
• a situation that is already processed internally.
Overall Interpretation
The dream may symbolically suggest:
A small issue or irritation appears on your path, but it is handled calmly and resolved easily, leaving no lasting harm.
Your calm feelings in the dream reinforce the idea that your mind already sees the situation as manageable or already healing.
