My mind is rejecting the concept of qi, but i’ll stay with the exercise earnestly and keep open minded. I plan to use Alchemist Singularity in the beginning of 2026. So that’s plenty of time to comprehend the qi before i start using AS.
I always feel more energized after i do qigong.
My breathing also gets deeper.
That’s all i know about it for now.
Maybe this is what they mean by qi. I’ll try to explore it from here.
For now, I’m trying to understand qi from my understanding of the world.
It’s like how we used to think that lightning is formed by the gods.
no, we later discovered that it is formed by static electricity in the sky.
either way, the lightning itself is real, regardless of the explanation of its origin.
Or the superstition that says “cover your mouth when you’re sneezing so your soul won’t escape”.
Obviously your soul won’t escape, but it’s still beneficial to stop you from passing harmful germs to other people.
Same procedures with different understandings, but they still produce beneficial outcomes.
I’ll try to imagine qi as a metaphor, or for lack of a better word, a bootleg explanation of the benefits of the movements & the act of trying to feel the qi.
This is the easiest explanation I can accept for now.
I’ll keep using this explanation for myself until I’m proven wrong.
Normally, I won’t think too hard about it, but AS is explicitly about “energy cultivation”.
I hope AS will still be beneficial for me later when I use it even if my belief about qi doesn’t move away from what I wrote above.
I just realized the revelation scripting about the concept of duality in AS is perfect for confronting that dilemma. Using AS will literally take care of my worry about using AS.
Well, that’s one concern taken care of. I don’t need to think too much about it anymore.
YES bro that’s literally what I’m saying. You are literally the Singularity.
Even here - AS is about balancing (polar opposites but also the self)
I think having a deep understanding of Qi before running AS is about as useful as having mastered swordplay before starting HERO.
Better to use it on the opening journey, and even something as simple as Tai-Chi with (or without) swords, or sword play even without taichi, is enough to be the “physical/energetic” aspect of an action-approach aspect to master AS with.
bridging the rational and energetic is a great examples of Polarities and Paradoxes.
Every day I get even more tempted to use the new AS & ME, rofl.
But I’m still milking many benefits from LE, LBFH, & DRR too. So I gotta stay with them for now.
I hope it will, I won’t have access to LBFH when I use the 2 customs I planned.
So AS should better act as the balancer of the stack or I’ll end up needing to use LBFH/HeO every once in a while to act as one.
Swordplay is more familiar to me, in the sense that I know the science, benefits etc of training with one even before I started it.
Qigong and the stuff about energy on the other hand is almost completely alien to me.
I have felt what it feels like to be around people who cultivate energies, but as a wannabe energy cultivator, I’m oblivious to how to implement it for myself.
I was worried that I’d end up not being able to understand anything when I used AS and wasting the energy scripting. That’s what I was truly concerned about. So familiarizing myself more with qi seemed to be a good way to start.
Unlike the other subs where the manifestations seem to work automatically without our “direct” meddling with the universe, AS seemed like a title that only worked for people who understand & play with energies.
At least that was my initial impression of it.
But the more I think & learn about it, the more I get assured that It won’t be a problem when I use AS.
I don’t need to understand how lightning is formed to know what lightning is.
AS will also take care of my worry about not being able to bridge the rational and energetic to reap the benefits as you said.
It’s like how there are still holes in my understanding of manifestation, yet it’s still working exceptionally well in my life.
My hypothesis is that the duality & the energy scripting will take care of themselves as long as I’m actively doing the energetic exercises like qigong.
I just had the most effortless meditation i ever did after combining it with Qigong & EFT.
5m Qigong to let my mind & body settle →
EFT to make me more relaxed & accepting with the challenges in meditation →
Mindfulness meditation →
EFT to clean up whatever problem i spotted within the meditation →
5m Qigong to wake up my body again.
I have to spend 15m more every meditation session with this routine, but it is worth it.
I’m starting to notice LBFH’s effects too.
Lower frequency of self defeating thoughts, shorter negative thinking, bliss, self love etc.
Theses are the classic effects that were starting to lose their intensity after i stopped using LBFH. I’m happy to see them come back again.
I searched more about Qigong and found out more about what to expect from qi.
It’s supposed to be felt, not imagined like what I learned from energy meditations I know.
They say feeling the energy is not required to benefit from the exercise.
This lines up with my experience.
I’m glad I’m actually giving qigong a try.
I have been feeling better overall after I started it.
5m every hour when I’m home. It’s perfect for my needs.
Taichi with a sword is still too hard, I’ll learn qigong first before attempting it again.
Should i get it? Money is not a problem.
I want to see how a normal custom feels though.
Maybe i’ll get a QTKS after i’m done with the first stack of customs a few years from now.
I have been healed from the scars left by the people who wronged me.
It’s not perfect, but I can see the pain, tenseness, anger etc fading away.
So this is what DRR2 helping me resolve within myself. That’s why I got the vulnerability recon.
I didn’t need the healing to succeed, but it’s nice to be healed.
EFT means emotional freedom techniques? (Not Emotion Focused Therapy or anything alike?)
I booked a seminar on meridian energy techniques 8 years ago, which is based on EFT.
It’s basically a knocking acupressure where you’re lightly knocking on certain acupuncture points.
If it’s similar to that, would you mind sharing the basics of your technique and the locations if the points your hitting?
Yes it’s that one.
I use EFT before & after meditation, and FasterEFT before & after qigong.
Other than that, the effects of subs & meditation are enough to carry me throughout the day.
For EFT, searched every variation and just combined them all.
Other than the usual points on the head & collar bones, i also tap on the side of my chest a few inches under the armpit, around my lower chest, and the inside part of my wrist.
I start it by tapping on the karate chop point on my hand and end it by gripping my wrist while taking a deep breath.
For FasterEFT, i just tap the inner part of my eyebrows, side of my eyes, the cheek bone under my eyes, the collar bones, and then i grip my wrist while taking a deep breath.
Interestingly, my mentor experienced that the point below the collarbone is super effective for almost everything everything.
He says he can solve most traumas with this single point.
The new genesis title is coming tomorrow.
That’s quicker than i expected.
I need to think this through before i switch LBFH for it.
Do i need more happiness in my life?
What else can the title do?
Is it worth introducing a new variable into the stack?
It looks like a more straightforward sub to alleviate DRR2’s recon than LBFH.
But that means it’s another sub to commit to.
I can get away with running LBFH for less than half a year, I’ve used it for almost a year.
But a new sub requires more than that to make the changes stick longer.
Is it worth stack switching?
Do I strengthen & dive deeper into LBFH’s effects at the cost of my productivity, or do i take the gamble with the new sub and spend 6-9 months integrating with it so the effects will stay?
I wished DRR2 was smooth so I didn’t have to compensate with a third sub in the stack to balance it. But I gotta do what needs to be done.
I think it’s gonna be interesting because it seems to be stronger tech than the current ZP… some sort of “unfolding” of happiness - but unfolding hasn’t been worked on since Pre-NSE
