The Wanted Emperor

Well, I had my first run-in with reconciliation yesterday. And thanks to people’s entries here on the forum, I was able to identify it and not get too in-my-head about how I felt, and things I have / haven’t done.

It wasn’t a fun ride.

Not much else to report except a couple things that happened on Sunday…

I got the itch to “go out” late in the afternoon, so I got dressed (a little more put together than I normally would) and headed out to get some sushi.

Two noticeable differences in my behavior occurred:

  • my first choice of restaurant had a good-sized line, and I immediately chose not to wait (where normally I am fairly patient)
  • and my second choice sat me immediately, but they failed to bring me a menu within my first 5 minutes there, so I got up and left.

Both of those things aren’t huge deals, but they’re not in-line with past behavior where I would’ve been more patient (because I really enjoy sushi), so I figure it was an Emperor-energy thing. It was completely non-emotional. And even though the menu thing made sense because they were really busy, it wasn’t in line with what I wanted to experience. Simple as that.

Found my way to the bar next door and ate nachos instead, which were good, but what was better was the service and the ambiance. It was exactly what I wanted.

Here’s where I felt the overlap of confidence, nonchalance, and attraction of The Wanted Emperor stack really shine.

Got a good number of looks, some strong eye-contact from a cute server (she strolled by my table when she didn’t have to…and then disappeared), and I felt completely comfortable being there solo while literally everyone else was in a group (I’m generally fine solo, but this felt like I owned the damn place).

That’s basically it. Nothing dramatic. But I figure these little shifts will eventually add up to something big. Time will tell.

I’ve been going back and forth debating whether or not I’m going to add RICH to this stack and alternate it with Wanted, since they both have energetic scripting. Not sure what that means, but figure running them on alternating days would work.

Probably add that in next week since I wouldn’t mind a ridiculous upgrade to my income.

Reminds me of me on Emperor 3. Pre-Q

If you search the word “tanning” by me it should show up. I was pissed lol

Yup. Emperor does not like time wasting.

I am noticing a trend with WANTED. The sub nudges the user to improve their style and appearance. Still early days though.

Adding RICH sounds like a good idea. Give it time though (another month perhaps).

Noticing this as well, I’ve been on wanted since the hour it was released and I’ve had this extreme urge to get a haircut asap, sadly the barbers only open from Friday when the social restrictions are lifted, other than that I also spent quite a bit on new clothes that are really different from my normal clothing style, like I normally enjoy minimalistic fitted t-shirts, but since the 3rd day of listening to wanted, I’ve bought 4 shirts, with different fit styles and been trying out more styles (like layering, tucked in with sleeves up, etc.)

Had a bit of a roller coaster experience over the past week. Overexposure probably played a part because I was running a couple loops of Emperor and Wanted every day for 5 days, plus I threw in a loop of Inner Circle on a couple days.

Not doing that again. The up and down was a little too much and lowered my work productivity, so I had to take some extra days off of subs.

Today would be my fifth day of rest and I feel pretty good, so I’m itching to try running one loop of my complete stack (Emperor, Inner Circle, Wanted) today, take tomorrow off, and see how it feels and how results differ when I implement a 1 day on, 1-2 days off listening schedule for the next week or so.

I want to figure out what listening schedule is optimal for my subconscious to process and execute so I can spend less time in recon and more time reshaping reality.

Except for the second day of rest where recon was the worst and I didn’t want to do anything at all, a great overall mindset shift happened this week…

I’ve done some form of exercise or movement skills training for 6 days straight, and today will be the 7th. Nothing crazy or over-the-top. A cross-training mix of cardio, calisthenics, kettlebell and movement training is all. Things to get my heart rate up, work up a sweat, and/or increase functional strength.

Going from barely working out this past year and carrying an extra 20-30 pounds of weight to shifting into the “it’s time to stop fucking around and get it done” gear feels good. Really good.

Wanting this mindset shift was the reason I almost bought Spartan as my first sub, but it’s cool that the combined effects of the The Wanted Emperor stack has nudged me to raise my standards for myself and effectively overcome that complacent, lazy inertia and renew a commitment to achieving my peak health and fitness.

Looking back, it’s not a bad trade-off for lower work output and some recon.

In fact, an interesting thing happened when I was on a morning run that’s never happened to me before (and another cool effect I attribute to Wanted)…

…but instead of rewriting it here, I’ll link to the post.

That’s it for this entry.

Want to track a couple things in this entry: a crazy-but-awesome dream, and the start of a new listening schedule.

First the listening schedule.

For the first two weeks on this stack, I did the 5 on / 2 off thing at 1-2 loops of Emperor + Wanted. (Inner Circle got introduced in week 2 at 1 loop every other day.)

The first week felt like I was on a constant high. I felt un-fucking-touchable. But the second week… Well, what goes up must come down, right? (At least when it runs out of fuel and hasn’t achieved escape velocity or escaped the gravitational influence of a massive body – look, I’m not a scientist but you get what I’m saying). Turns out that that exposure level was WAY too much for me and sent me into some serious recon for most of the second week. Not fun.

But there was a silver lining, and I experienced a major mindset shift at the end of the second week…which I wrote about yesterday.

So the experiment for this next week or two is to see if I can create / experience another shift with less exposure, and presumably less recon.

Today is Day 1 of the new, experimental listening schedule: 1 day on, 1 day off (maybe 2 days off as needed) where I’ll listen to 1 loop of each track of my stack:

1x Emperor (first thing in the morning)
1x Inner Circle (second thing in the morning)
1x Wanted (in the late afternoon / evening)

At the top of the range with the 1:1 schedule, exposure will be 3-4 hours of each sub over 7 days (so approx. 21 hours total sub exposure over two weeks…for those without a calculator). Sounds good to me, but we’ll see what happens.

Now that crazy-but-awesome dream…

First of all, this dream happened last night on my 5th day of rest from sub exposure. Which, if I understand / remember what I’ve read on the forum here, vivid and/or crazy dreams mean the sub is getting processed…right?

Maybe that’s what’s happening. Maybe not. I tend to have pretty vivid dreams anyway.

So here’s what happened: the dream starts with me setting some new boundaries and guidelines with prominent figures in my life that made them lash out and say some shitty things to me. Testing me, so-to-speak, to see if they could sway me.

I was a rock. An immovable object. And I felt completely calm and powerful in my stance in the dream. Not stubborn. There was a “knowing” that they needed figure shit out for themselves and I felt compassion for them. A tough love kind of situation.

So that part felt good, but where it got awesome was when the dreamscape switched and I was part of a covert team of operatives in hostile territory, and there was this red-headed beauty with a perfect body on the team. And she was un-fuck-with-able. She was mesmerizing and charismatic. She had all the qualities of a high-powered, independent woman. And she was dangerous.

Well, I did what anyone else would in that situation and proposed that we have sex and an ongoing relationship, with the potential option of exclusivity. She rejected that outright and I felt pretty bummed about it, but I kept my cool. Did I mention she was standing in front of me stark naked while I was proposing sex to her?

So, the best part of this dream wasn’t (only) that it was a potential-sex-with-a-hot-woman dream. It was the underlying feeling of concrete confidence. The absolute self-assurance. The skillful navigation of a complex emotional environment.

Feeling a massive attraction to a beautiful and accomplished woman, keeping cool and moving on after a rejection, then having her come back around to express her vulnerability and begin to get intimate…that was all icing on the cake. A cake I would’ve liked to enjoy.

Now, why tf do dreams have to end right at the best parts? Every. Time.

Of course I tried to go right back to sleep, but the dream changed.

I’m going to start listening to the Dreams LIFEcharger so I can harness the power of lucid dreaming…for science. lol

So why am I sharing this dream?

Because it really left an impression on me and made me think that these subs are having effects at such a deep level already that (and I’m speculating here) my mind will play out my ideal, new behavior patterns in dreams rather than wait for the opportunity to arise in my waking life.

(Also, Wanted probably has some “James Bond”-esque scripting.)

But idfk. So I’m throwing it out there. Looking back at this post months from now should be interesting.

My loop of Wanted finished as I completed writing this entry, and I have to say it feels a lot “heavier” than when I listened to Emperor + Inner Circle earlier.

Maybe I need to eat more. I’m operating on a caloric deficit today.

It’s been a hell of a week…but I’ll just highlight two things that stand out the most:

First, I had such intense recon 6 days ago that I was pretty much useless for 72 hours (the 2nd and 3rd day of processing were the worst). And when I say “useless” I mean: not being productive, not having fun, not doing things that elevate me, nada, nothing, zip, zombie, etc.

Might as well have hung an “Out Of Order” sign around my neck. lol

Now, I’m not 100% on this, but I actually think it was the addition of Inner Circle during that 3rd week that did it. Qv2 is no joke…as has been repeated on other threads.

There were thoughts that bubbled up to the surface during that time about drawing new people/mentors into my life, which was a limiting, negative belief stemming from some past, deep trauma, so I’m almost positive it was that sub that caused my almost 3 days of somnambulant behavior.

Ok, so that period was intense, and I was more myself on subsequent days…but the thing that’s really awesome and kind of blowing my mind is what happened today.

I got a really aggressive email from a client, who I’ve had a great rapport and working relationship with, where he demanded a refund on his (not insignificant) monthly payment …and he said a bunch of other stuff that wasn’t cool in the email too. So basically, he was attempting a breach of agreement.

Needless to say, my first thought was, “wtf?”

Here’s where I’m still both surprised and delighted by the obvious work this stack has already done for me…

Of course, I felt some kinda way about it. I won’t write what my initial thoughts were in case there are some underage kids reading this.

But, I was able to tap into a colder, logical, rational side of myself and I unequivocally shut that shit down immediately. Like a sniper shot to the heart, albeit in a more professional manner, of course.

And I didn’t do it completely cold-hearted either. I added a touch of kindness and compassion because he obviously was going thru something.

I’ll say this about the situation before I say how it ended. I was pretty fucking annoyed, to say the least. Clients / customers will talk shit and hate because they “didn’t get the promised results” (most likely because they didn’t put in their side of the work or some shit happened in their life and now they have excuses…whatever), sure, it’s par for the course, but this was different.

I’d had a good relationship with the guy and provided some outstanding service for him, so his angry, bipolar sounding email got to me…for all of 10 or so minutes before I composed myself again and wrote my response.

Pro-tip: record your conversations with your clients. Tell them that you’re doing so, of course. But this is how I was able to drop the hammer…because I had irrefutable proof.

Well, not long after I replied, I got a voicemail. It was a vehement apology from the guy and he had the craziest reason I’ve ever heard to-date…

…his WIFE was the one who emailed me, using his account. And there are a bunch of other details that I’ll spare you.

So why do I think this is anything but an amusing story?

Because of how I dealt with it.

There was this quality of my personality that expressed itself…I don’t know exactly how to describe it…but I was completely comfortable in absolutely squashing him like a bug, regardless of any negative reviews, feedback, or recourse he might take because of it.

It felt really good, too. I felt empowered. And all I considered was my exposure and where I might be vulnerable.

Sure, I’d have preferred to have another happy client, but he’d apparently chosen his path. So, I was willing to let it go pretty quick.

(By the way, we’re all good. I have zero hard feelings about it.)

If I had to give credit to a sub in my stack, this is definitely the work of the Emperor hands-down.

The other effect I can sense more this week is my focused attention on my wealth building strategies, and reevaluating my standards.

I’m being pulled more and more towards skills that will help me increase my wealth-generating ability.

To be continued…

@summit I saw that you are doing a 1:1 schedule. Are you doing 1 on 1 off continuously with no extra rest days? I’m trying to figure out what would work best. This week I’ve been doing 1 on 1 off, and plan to take an extra rest day at the end of the week. The effects are definitely more pronounced, but that could also be because it is a custom track.

This is exactly what I’m doing. Listening to 1 loop of each sub in my stack on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and taking the other days off for processing time.

And yea, I agree, the effects are much more noticeable. A small example would be, I woke up yesterday (a processing day) and decided to clean the bathroom first thing in the morning.

Can’t say I’ve ever done that before in my life. But it’s an example of me raising my standards across the board, which is definitely an effect of running my subs. And it just felt…right.

Saw that you stepped up and took on a leadership role in your journal, @JayFlex. I’m curious…was that on a rest day?

No it wasn’t, I listened to my custom first thing in the morning. I’m a fireman and we were out doing a drill. I noticed my crew chief was struggling to get through the drill so I made suggestions to help move things along and finish the operation smoothly. My management was very impressed, they were still talking about it today during training.

Today is a rest day and I have noticed a difference. I wrote about it in my journal a few minutes ago. I’ve had a lot of mental clarity today. It could be recon, or it could be I’m finally being honest with myself about what I want. Most likely it’s the latter.

Well it sounds like something in your stack has had a chance to bloom, rest day or not. Will be interesting to see how your new custom plays out.

Nice. Going through something similar myself.

Ok, so it’s a few days shy of running The Wanted Emperor stack for 30 days, and I’ve come to a few important conclusions…

  • in business, progress (in the form of increasing revenue) has been lacking / slow because my focus needed more focus…and there were/are some limiting beliefs running around holding me back
  • I’ve felt a strong push to reevaluate the standards I hold myself to (there are plenty of areas I let slack) and have already started to take action to improve them
  • one of those areas is my fitness and reducing the extra pounds I’ve allowed my body to carry around for awhile
  • and probably the most surprising one given how awesome Wanted has made me feel and the positive effects its had…but I’m going to take it off the stack and put it on hold for the next few months.

Before I elaborate, the effects of Wanted surprised the hell out of me yesterday…

I was at the cash register of my local grocery store, more than half zoned out because I’d spent the first half of the day training and being active outdoors, when my cashier asked me something I wasn’t quite sure I heard right. So I asked her to repeat it.

She asked what I was up to that night. I snapped into gear and the next thing I know she’s telling me she’s pretty open and probably just going to chill and have a drink, and… then she paused, locked completely in my gaze. She wanted me to make the move.

She was cute and seemed fun enough, but I didn’t do it. Not because I felt blocked, but because I weighed the situation instantaneously in my mind and if I went over to her place, had a fun night of drinking and more with her it would set me back on all the things I had planned to do today.

I felt good about my decision and it solidified the new direction I’m going to take with my stack: purely wealth-driven. Improved seduction can wait for now, at least as far as subs are concerned.

So, that’s it for The Wanted Emperor stack.

The new stack, and I’m almost 100% on this, is some combination of Emperor, RICH, and EOG. And I’d love to keep Inner Circle in the mix because manifesting mentors, potential business partners, and cool connections is an area of my life I’d like to see improved…plus I’ve only run it for two weeks so far.

So the new rotation would be:
1x RICH
1x EOG
1x Emperor
1x IC

Does this seem like too much? Idk.

I’m going to sleep on it and make the purchase for the new subs in the morning. And I guess make a new journal…don’t know what the protocol is there, but either way it’ll be somewhere on the forum if I don’t continue it here.

Hold on a second. I’m not one to tell you what to do, but I’d like you to think about something. Your urge to switch off of it may be a form of reconciliation.
I’ve run into a phenomenon while using subs and doing other self improvement things where as soon as I get a sign that I’m improving beyond what my self image considers possible, in other words I’ve exceeded my “success ceiling”, I’d find some reason or another to stop doing it. I’d either just stop, or decide that other things were more important, or this was the wrong path or something.
You might want to make sure that that’s not what you have going on.

Maybe there’s an element of this driving my decision…I can’t rule it out completely. But it feels more like my energy is divided, and The Wanted Emperor stack highlighted an area I’ve felt limited in (heavily influenced by my upbringing and all that) that I want to break through…and that’s generating enough wealth that I never have to worry about it again. If any area in my life has had a major ‘success ceiling’ it’s how much wealth I’ve let myself generate, and hold on to.

At the root of this decision is the desire to focus my time and energy (and subliminal stack) on one single overarching theme.

The women will be there…and I’ll still take advantage of some opportunities. But, freeing my money-mind to manifest ridiculous income will improve a LOT of areas across the board, so yea, it’s going to be the priority for the next several months.

I appreciate your wisdom here, @COWolfe, and the push to think more about it. I feel even more solid on this decision now.

Brb, going to buy all the wealth subs now.

So just curious what happened here… first of all, was this journal from THIS June, or last June?

You mentioned your decisions to switch NOT being about recon, but then we never got an update from your journal!

How is your wealth stack going?

EDIT: Found your other journals

Forgot about coming back to this journal to wrap it up…appreciate the bump.

So to wrap this up…

After removing Wanted, I created my wealth stack continuing with Emperor as the foundation. It became Emperor + EOG + RICH + IC.

Wrote about the role I think recon played in my decision to switch up my stack, which lines up with how Saint describes recon in one sentence.

I know Wanted will eventually rotate through my stack in the not too distant future. It left a lasting impression in how nonchalant and at ease it made me feel.

That’s it for this journal.


@RVconsultant would you please close this journal? Thanks!

Lol I did actually find your next journal a few minutes after writing that. Keep going strong!
