Thanks, @GoldenBird .
Weāll see. Iām feeling somewhat protean at the moment.
My base stack is still the same. PHENOMENAUT Genesis and BUILD. But Iām letting those two lie fallow for a while, while I try other things.
Dragon Reborn Gold is compelling to me. Genesis: Art of Happiness and Joy somewhat less so.
Ecstasy of Gold and The Revelation of Wealth speak to some deep and longstanding aspirations/goals. EoG was the first program that I purchased here at Subliminal Club. And I feel that Iām still precisely on the journey catalyzed by that step.
So the next few months are looking interesting to say the least.

A week after my first Dragon Reborn Gold loop, I have now finally played another loop (since Iām finally over the flu, and feeling pretty solid again).
This time, I opted for a shorter loop, 3:32 this time. Also, I think Iāll play this title alone for today. Iād like a purer experience.
My first time was a full loop.
Eventually, Iāll increase back to a full loop I think.

Finally, a moment to sit and breathe and take in the day.
Ironically, my desire to do early morning meditations sometimes contributes to a tighter flow of events. This morning, I woke up, glimpsed my son leaving for school, did an hour of meditation, cooked my lunch and made a smoothie, took a shower, travelled to work, had two supervision meetings, and now here I am ābreathingā.
In the midst of that, I noted the arrival of the Revelation of Wealth program, and the advance release of the copy for the PRODIGIOUS Ecstasy of Gold re-invention.
And here we go.

The essence of happiness and well-being is evaluation
The foundation of evaluation is comparison
But the basis for comparison is often selected/chosen unconsciously in response to societal pressures and training

The reason that work has been āhardā throughout my life is that I have been trying to use right-brained tools to complete left-brained, goals, and project.
The problem was not the tools, it was the projects.
Choose, organize, and approach your projects to optimize and best apply the tools that you have.

I think that my āspiritual powerā may be temporarily decreased.
Maybe because itās getting diverted and harnessed into new growth projects.
Okay. So, todayās loops:
Dragon Reborn Gold (12 minutes)
Ecstasy of Gold One (5:16)
Still working out how Iāll set this up.
I could do one week Dragon Reborn Gold + Ecstasy of Gold
The next week Dragon Reborn Gold + Revelation of Wealth
I think Iāll give myself a little while to respond to the programs and to get a feel.

Iām on shorter loops right nowāDragon Reborn Gold and The Revelation of Wealth; so for now meditation sessions and subliminal listening sessions are separated.

Woke up from a dream this morning in which I was trying to remember the taijiquan set, č家äøč·Æ.
Iām taking this one literally, and will probably try to return to light practice.
The cognitive enhancement is real.
Iāve been able to pick the basic pattern of the taijiquan form back up in an hour or two tonight.
And I notice that my mind organized the structure of the form in an effective and convenient way (for me).
Basically, itās:
Intro
3 slightly varying sets of Yun Shou éę
Conclusion
Also, my mind generated the following:
-
Get the routine/structure down and internalized (basically the above). This is essentially learning dance moves/choreography. (Which reminds me, I wonder how @Brandon is these days. Hey man.)
-
Deepen and integrate the STYLE of movement- Movement vocabulary and principles
-
Integrate the Internal and Intentional Aspects - This is where the å §å part comes in.
And thatās basically my view of it.
When it comes to traditional martial arts, there is a close and intimate relationship with traditional dance practices. They really overlap and bleed into each other, and they use many of the same skills. Scott Park Phillips taught me that. And I buy it. Thereās also a lot of influence and overlap from theatre and symbolic posturing.
The reason is that when it comes to ritualized and improvised violence, there is a huge psychological/emotional/symbolic component. Getting into a headspace. I donāt necessarily mean in competitive spaces. I mean in real life interactions.
You have to find reasons and ways of looking at things that make this behavior make sense. And thatās why so many people will go into the same kind of cliched behaviors once there is some kind of a conflict situation. Itās just the easiest way to get there and get through it.
Anyway. Iām basically channeling Scott Park Phillips. He talks about this stuff really well.
The real point of this post is that this evening I just observed a clear and obvious manifestation of my subs (current and past) in the form of an accelerated and enhanced learning process. I wasnāt even looking for that, and I think itās pretty cool.
Dragon Reborn is amazing.
Dreaming about taijiquan and then relearning the form tonight. Thatās amazing.
And last time I worked with it back in 2021, I spontaneously tried a 5.5 day fast (just drinking water).
I think I want to just let the program cook this time. Not rush through it or attach a clock to it.
If I can get results like this after just 2 weeks on Stage 1, it kind of makes me want to see how far Stage 1 can go.
I always have an Inner, Purpose-oriented, Spiritual program that is my foundational central program. Then I usually have a wealth or creativity/productivity program that is supporting my capacity to be active, intentional, and successful in the world.
Right now, Dragon Reborn Gold is carrying most of the weight for that first aspect of my approach. And The Revelation of Wealth and Ecstasy of Gold will be helping with the second aspect (as well as aspects of the first).
So, I think thereās no rush.
PHENOMENAUT (Genesis) is my beloved subliminal, but Iāve been playing it since August 2023. Letās give Dragon Reborn some time.

Iām thinking about Scale (for business) and Kevin Kellyās classic 1000 True Fans concept.
In other words, just how big or small does an enterprise actually need to be to be successful and sustainable?
Heyyy, Iām pretty good man, how are you? Thanks for thinking of me bro

Itās pretty interesting. The last time I re-engaged with the form was November 2022. It took me about a week to relearn the form.
And now this time I reengaged with it yesterday 26 January 2024. It took me about an hour to relearn.
Thatās actually amazing.
