Yep, you are right @MAkh.

It might be a while until then though :slight_smile:

Day 1
Genesis Mogul 3:00
Godlike Masculinity 3:00

Listened to the titles directly after waking up. They put me back to slumber for half an hour. After getting up, I was deeply relaxed but lacking in mental clarity. I am going to cut the listening time by half. Slow and steady. It's a marathon after all.

Went for a walk. Ran into my landlord along the way. A bit small talk, then he gave me some career advice. I am not even surprised and feel like I am on autopilot. Thinking about it, the advice is interesting. Pointing at an angle I haven’t thought about.

Only now, an hour later, I am beginning to mentally wake up. Might be the caffeine though.

Getting noticeably tired in the afternoon. But I am learning Markdown just to learn something new.

Today things are just ever so slightly off. I am slightly restless. I am slightly less mentally clear. I feel a slight anger at intermittent intervals, like thunder in the far distance on a sunny day. Little pin pricks.

Nevertheless, I am having fun with Markdown. Learning about it led me to Zettlr, which I am playing around with at the moment. I am more of a LaTeX guy, traditionally. But I can see the appeal and the advantages of Markdown. Is this immediatly useful for me now? Apart from learning something new and stimulating my gray matter, not really. But I always benefited from learning and being able to use these types of framework languages later on.

Now that I am focussing on thinking and writing here for a minute, I am feeling content.

Your trust is well placed in the fact that people can read.

Even if you declared it, if you would like your journal more easy to read by other forum members, you can choose to use the commonly used acronyms.

Since I am using the actual names of the titles most of the time, the acronyms won’t be important. But I will compromise by adding descriptors like this: GEM GOM LL. Why do I bother to do that? Because in my eyes it is easier to misinterpret GM/G:M and GLM in a block of text than GEM and GOM. And since I am running both Genesis Mogul and Godlike Masculinity here, it does kind of bother me.

On another note, what I am missing from the posts of @Parsifal and you is a link to an actual list of commonly used acronyms. This would actually point everyone reading and thinking about this to a useful resource. The only thing I found resembling such a list was this post by @anon78457040, which is unfortunately deprecated and not maintained.


Update:

Reading this post again, I realize that it can come across a bit snotty. I am probably arguing more for the sake of argument, which is unfair to @RVconsultant.

If I am going as far as introducing descriptors to my acronyms, I can just as easily apply those same descriptors to the acronyms everybody else here is used to, to clarify which title I am talking about :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Still, a maintained acronym list or a dictionary as @anon78457040 called it would be nice.

Yes, I think it would be cool if every new member got a welcome message with the “dictionary”.

I remember that I struggled a bit in the beginning due to being unfamiliar with the lingo.

First thought on Limitless:

Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.


Update:

It’s actually not the Casablanca version that is stuck on repeat in my mind :joy:

I love that feeling when you first run a sub and it feels like… “Oh… I like this”

Today is a good day. Good mood, the sun is shining. I had some extra time and went for a stroll in the city. Ended up visiting a perfume shop and chatted for almost an hour with the proprietress while sampling a range of summery fragrances. While I do like the aquatics, there were some really nice citrus and fruity ones.

After that I just had to take a route through the local park. The way the sun shone through the canopy and bathed the plant life in warm light was great.

What a wonderfully carefree summer day :national_park: :sunglasses:

Singing that I hear throughout the day is echoing endlessly on replay-loops in my mind. My baseline auditory and especially my auditory-linguistic memory is pretty good on a normal day, but right now it is kind of difficult to tune out those mind-replays when I am relaxing.

I had extended stretches like this throughout the past few years, where I even shunned music completely. Music is a pretty integral part of my life, so it’s not something I want avoid to feel ‘normal’. I realized back then that I can enjoy instrumental music without any drawbacks during those periods. Naturally, my instrumental music collection grew steadily since then.

Now, I am reaching for purely instrumental music once more. It’s like a mixture of having reached a maximum treshold of listening to sung words and having a need to immerse myself in wordless soundscapes. Interestingly, normal talking and written language seem to be completely separated from this.

It’s as if I have a need to temporarily avoid decoding or abstracting meaning of spoken words from sound. Just letting my brain being washed in sounds, decoding them without engaging in word processing. A bit like a fallback into a mode before language. Either something from a very young age in my life or something very old from an animalistic-evolutionary point of view. Or something completely different.

Be it from the rhyme structure, be it from the singing itself embedded in music, the words bypass some part of my conscious mind, embed themselves and replay non-stop. It’s really a trivial thing. But I want to develop a method for myself to be consciously able to stop this at will. My mind, my temple, my rules.

Day 5
Genesis Mogul 1:30
Godlike Masculinity 1:30

I am still reacting noticeably to those two titles at one and a half minute. Mental clarity is decreased and physically it feels like a mixture of 'I did a really taxing workout yesterday and need to recuperate' and total body relaxation. Mentally it isn't as bad as with the prior three minutes each.

I am powering through though, no problem. Had some errands to run and wasn’t slowed down in any way. Therefore, I will stay with one and a half minutes each for now. Getting things done while you are not at 100% is a more common thing in life than having the opportunity to tackle your goals while you are at your peak anyway. Thus I will treat it as training with added mental weights.

Day 9
Genesis Mogul 1:30
Godlike Masculinity 1:30

Went on a little trip over the weekend to attend a family gathering. All the time I was very much present in the moment. While this is kind of normal for me, it was easier to maintain this state and expend less energy on it throughout. It was/is like my own frame is stronger and nothing external is able to disturb it.

Some distant family drama kind of encroached some of my relatives, but it only took a few minutes of them being around me to calm them down and they were able to shift emotional gears. In the end we really got to enjoy each others presence.


Update:

My reaction to GM and GLM is still noticeably decreased mental capacity. I struggle to find the right words, my attention to detail goes down, I struggle to complete simple mental lists and therefore overlook simple solutions to every-day problems and forget to take care of small things. This is most pronounced on the listening day and is almost gone on the integration day that follows. On LL-listening days and the consecutive integration days I am mentally OK though.

I think this is my reaction to GLM, since this didn’t happen during my training montage last month, during which I already listened to GM. But I am not sure. I will switch my playback order in the second half of this cycle and listen to GLM first and GM second. Maybe this will shake things up. If not, I might try listening to GLM and LL back-to-back next cycle.

I am noticing some physical shifting. It is not as ridiculously obvious and fast as in the previous month, but it is there. Like a constant stream of small corrections that are hard to notice individually.

Day 11
Godlike Masculinity 1:30
Genesis Mogul 1:30
Limitless 1:30

Since I have three integration days scheduled after today, I decided to experiment a bit. My thinking was that combining Limitless with Godlike Masculinity would soften the mental slowdown I experience after listening to Genesis Mogul and Godlike Masculinity. And it worked much better than I anticipated.

I still experience a profound bodily relaxation after listening, but I am not really mentally slower than baseline anymore. There is a lingering mental effect for one or two hours, but it isn’t nearly as strong as when I used GM and GLM alone. And this effect dissipates noticeably as time goes on. This is without caffeine, whereas before even with the use of caffeine I would still feel slower than baseline.

While I ran all three titles back-to-back I got the sense of this being exactly right. And now, hours later I feel great.

From the few days I used Limitless now I can tell you I really like it. Although I haven't even scratched the surface of what I hope to get out of it. But I don't know yet how running GLM, GM and LL on the same day is going to pan out.

If it works well, I’ll take it as a win-win situation since I can effectively double my exposure to each title no matter how long or short I make the loops.

Day 12
Integration

Something about listening to all three titles on the same day made a noticeable difference in how I react to them. Today I am markedly more productive, proactive and constructive compared to any day since starting with this stack. It is as if some gears are finally interlocking and moving in tandem.

Update:

I have the habit of taking a short daily hike. For the past few days I noticed that I am using my hips differently when I walk. I am actively moving them more and in the process take strain away from the inner side of my knees. I am not sure where this change is coming from. But I’m leaning towards kinesthetic learning although it could also be from the body of stillness and strength. Or both simultaneously.

Additionally, there are a number of other small but profound physical changes underway. Since thoroughly understanding and adjusting my body is an area that I engage in daily and have been for years, I clearly notice that lately things just seem to click.

Second day of integration and I feel good, content, silently joyful and mentally sharp. After reading the descriptions of all three titles again I am very much convinced that my decision to stack them was the best choice for me in the present and me in the future.
Day 14
Integration

After last weeks visit to the perfume shop, I ordered a citrus bomb I came across there a few days later. Yesterday it arrived.

I am pretty good at taking a conscious piggyback ride with physical shifting scripting it seems. Body work is a very intuitive thing for me and I have actively strengtened and broadened a channel to my subconscious in this specific area with the help of certain plant teachers over the years. So much so that I can do things sober now without having to alter my consciousness.

Back to the citrus bomb. If you ever had to work with fuels, you know how the smell of benzene can stay with you for many hours after catching a whiff. Similarly, the terpenes in my new perfume are keeping my nose open for hours and hours.

When you do certain deep body work, there is always a breath component. When you successfully release muscle-tension it feels as if you are suddenly able to take a deeper breath than before or are able to breathe into the muscle you just worked with.

I am using the aromatic fragrance of my citrus bomb as a crowbar in my body work. It makes it much easier to breathe into certain areas. Physically adjusting muscles and surrounding tissue while guiding my breath into these areas is working a lot better.

Limitless and physical shifting? I love it!
