In Chinese, the number 10000 is used to mean ‘a whole hell of a lot’. I guess that’s how he was using it.
For example ‘The Ten-Thousand Things’ is a term that means ‘Everything in the world’. People just thought it was a big number.
But forget that. Congrats on your consistency and achievement!
(Also, my own version of this was less credible than yours. I wanted to achieve a 285 pound bench press after Robin Williams’ character in Good Will Hunting told young Will that that was his bench press amount.)
I’m not currently pursuing that. I was aiming for it about 10 years ago. Made it to 270 or so back then. But I kind of feel like it wouldn’t be healthy for me right now. Tendons have changed, and I can feel them doing things.
These days I shoot for ‘feels’ rather than for ‘numbers’.
that’s relatable, I’m also starting to feel my body changing in that direction as i grow older. but that’s one of the things that makes life interesting i guess
DR Gold looks really appealing. It’s more in line with me & my goals than DR Red. But i’ve bought the original DR a long time ago. I haven’t even used it once.
Well, i’ll continue running HeO for a long time and add Limitless in a few months anyway, so it won’t be that different in the long run.
There are questions in DRR’s description, i’ll try to answer them before i use DRR.
years ago when i fought every single uncomfortable thought and feeling instead of just accepting and observing them. no one taught me how to handle them and i had to figure it out myself after years.
a lot of times, but now I see them more as the consequences of the dynamic of life and human relations. they are bound to happen anyway, so why bother suffering too much after everything has happened.
when people don’t react the same way i expect them to. this is what i found after i dug deeper using SC for more than a year. it became clear that this was a blind spot that was affecting me a lot.
yes, now. without the active effect of LBFH it feels a bit lonely, but it’s not bad.
Too many times to count. not all of them are bad though, i find it hard to care about most of what have happened. i bet DRR will uncover some shits i didn’t expect here.
I’ve come to term with people lying. People lie all the time and it’s just normal human behavior. i can excuse that as long as it’s not about something serious that can’t be fixed.
I can’t come to terms with this. because the only time someone can betray me is when it’s something serious. though forgiving them emotionally is not as hard as before i started SC.
For emotions, mostly about 3 days. the feeling just kinda dies out after that long.
I’m naturally rebellious since i was a kid. so I’m pretty good with setting boundaries against injustice. but I’ve come to terms with it, as long as I can improve the situation or get something out of it.
I don’t have those external limitations on me. I worked my ass off to gain this freedom. but I’m sure there are things that I’m not aware of, i hope DRR can show them to me.
it would feel like this, right at this moment. because I’m living that life right now. It’s far from perfect, but the process of thriving is what makes life more fulfilling.
sometimes i get that feeling, sometimes not. it’s the natural up and down. getting more of the up will be better though if it’s possible.
1+ year of SC has fixed that. Some of the bad memories & feelings from the past still pop out every once in a while, but that’s normal. I can let go more in general.
LBFH addressed this, i wrote about it extensively at the beginning of this journal. right now i feel i already have used LBFH enough to satisfy everything above.
HeO & NSE already make me feel invincible. Subs in general help me feel certain that whatever i do, I’ll be fine and thrive. my mind automatically converts situations that i used to consider as bad to be a learning experience instead.
I don’t need to wonder, I’m living that life right now. I’m not kidding when i said LBFH is that strong.
My acceptance and forgiveness for those who lied also helped me to not suffer mentally. simply observe.
I’m gifted with people who i can trust like that. They are one of the biggest wealth i have in my life.
I don’t need to wonder, i have those people in my life.
Yeah… I resonate better with DR Gold. i already fixed a lot of what’s mentioned in the questions above.
LBFH and HeO fixed a ton of shits, HeO + WB introduced me to deeper levels of emotional management through vipassana, and the other subs (Mogul, DRLD, RM:UWX, RM:V) also helped me in their own ways.
Well, let’s see what DRR can do for me. I’ll use it in about a week. I bet it will surprise me.
I’ve been listening to AC for more than a year but i still can’t get over 5m without getting overloaded. this sub is harder than i expected. I heard there’s something similar to pragya in Limitless & QL, let’s see how is my tolerance to AC after i used Limitless in 4 months from now.
I’m still grateful for RM:V. it brings so much color into my life, maybe because it’s much more relevant to me than RM:UWX.
I’m starting to understand why i may want the rebellion scripting in DRR too. DR Gold resonates more with me, but DRR might reveal things I’m still blind to.
I talk a lot about how my dreams after i started SC are insanely creative with their settings, stories, etc and I wouldn’t be able to come up with those when i’m awake.
Now i’m increasingly able to tap into that creativity. I’m sometimes still surprised at what i can come up with. Using RM:UWX & RM:V is the right choice.
Either RM:UWX is blooming, RM:V affects more than just music, or they both unfolded changes that work together.
my creativity is super high.
I can tap into that creativity much more effortlessly.
I’m able to understand the structures, intentions, emotions, etc of a creative work deeper & easier.
I ran RM:UWX for 4 cycles and I didn’t feel the effects as strongly towards creative works like now. but some of the effects make more sense if i attribute them to RM:UWX instead of RM:V. i guess RM:V is building on top of what RM:UWX had already laid out.
RM:UWX is still better when it comes to wealth manifestation though, rofl.
I have been experimenting with work life balance. But then i ended up coming back to where i was from. 80% work, then the rest is whatever.
Nothing is as fulfilling as providing value through my work. I can have fun chatting, sex, games, travel, they can make me happy but the happiness feels hollow compared to busting my ass trying to improve & dedicate my life to my work.
Now that i’m off from LBFH, it has become more apparent.
I forgot who said it but someone here said that it’s weird. That actually made me think about it a lot and experimented here and there trying to find out more about myself.
I guess the scale for me is just different. Nothing feels equally as fulfilling. That’s why HeO fits me so well because i’m naturally inclined to the archetype.
I’m still glad that i experimented though, i’d have never known if i never tried.
I was also confused but they made a good point back then. I forgot what they said exactly, but that made me interested in experimenting further. I also wanted to be more open minded since I was under LBFH’s & WB’s effects. So i had enough reasons to test things out more.
that’s true. it was actually one of the turning points in my life. I felt so empty back then when i was playing a game that i turned my focus towards work instead. There i found out that, although I’m not constantly as happy as when I’m playing games, i feel much more fulfilled that it’s not even comparable. everything else in my life slowly followed suit.
yeah, I’m lucky enough that i was able to leverage “putting everything i have” into almost all the fields i took. If i worked a job where my devotion didn’t pay me back, i bet i wouldn’t be where I am today.
LBFH was super effective for me since it showed me the balance that i lacked. but now after i stopped using it, i realized that i just need a bit of what LBFH manifested to reach that balance.
Everything in the custom is streamlined with that i do everyday. By the time i start the custom, i will have been using HeO for 1 year. Plus RM:UWX for 4 cycles & RM:V for 5 cycles so it should soften the impact from RM:UA.
Most importantly, testing. Like how slow & cautious i’m using DRR now, i will do the same with the custom. If it ended up being too much no matter how i approach it, then i’ll just make another custom without RM:UA or Limitless. How else would i know if I don’t experiment with it.
Now I use 11 on 5 off. So 6 loops. I plan to swap the stage every 2 washout periods.
I change the schedule pretty frequently. Sometimes i use different numbers like 7 on 4 off, 9 on 4 off, 11 on 5 off, etc depending on different factors.
So, for the sake of simplicity, I count 1 cycle as 26 days regardless of where the washout period is.
3s might be too slow for you, so is 5s. I use low increments like these because i really can’t afford to risk getting long heavy recon.
I’d recommend using the usual 10s - 30s instead, then pull back once you think you’ve passed your sweet spot. It involves getting recon but it’s much quicker & efficient.
I normally use +10s too when i use normal subs like HeO & RM:UWX. DRR is getting a special treatment like WB because it’s scary, rofl.
