Sword training

I decided to learn & train the footwork for fencing.
It looks fun & fencing seems to be the one that has the most active footwork out of the other sword arts i’ve seen so far. It fits my goal to focus mostly on footwork this year.

So far i’ve just been following random youtube videos to familiarize myself more with it.

I’m not as interested in the sport aspect of fencing though, my end goal is to get deeper into HEMA.

Kenjutsu is also interesting, i started with it after all, but ZWEIHANDER.

Something weird happened when i was doing qi gong.
I was in the middle of the exercise when something got me pissed off.

As usual, i just let it come, let it be, and let it go.
Just observe without trying to avoid the feeling.
But unlike the usual, the feeling didn’t come off.
It just lingered there for more than an hour.

That was strange.
I rarely ever had an anger with that intensity stay for that long over some minor inconvenience.

Idk what that was, and i can’t say it’s linked to qi gong or not. But damn that was weird.

Update 1:

Meditation fixed it. Well, at least now I’m aware of the deeper mechanics behind the emotion.
The pulses to feel angry kept firing, and a subtle part of me kept latching onto them.
Now that I know that, I just need to be aware and stop latching onto the pulses.
I can’t do shit about the pulses though, the best I can do is just observe.

It’s annoying, but I’m not gonna lie, it’s exciting to discover this side of me.
I still can’t figure out why these anger pulses keep coming, but time will take care of it anyway.

Maybe this is a cue to get deeper into qigong.
I have been too comfortable doing the same thing every day with it anyway.
It’s gonna have to fight for the time with my sword training though, but I’ll find a way.

Update 2:

Qigong problem requires qigong solution

An idea suddenly came, “why don’t i try one of those qigong anger release videos?”

And it did do the job.
Not completely, but the pulses have calmed down a lot since i did it.

I can’t confirm anything with just this, but now i have a tool that i can experiment with whenever i feel angry. I doubt the anger pulses & tension will ever stay for more than 6 hours like it did now, but the data will still be useful.

I feel like something opened inside of me after that qigong & DRR thing yesterday.
It’s like something got unblocked which helps with my sense of inner power.

But the changes are a bit too rapid. I need to adapt to it & adjust many things.
Idk wtf even happened, but I’ll make the best out of what I have either way.

I decided to keep the sword training simple for now in favor of using the time to learn more about qigong. So I’ll just do footwork training + the same set of 4 sword movements that I have been doing for a year.

An alpha sub would be great to guide me through this.
But again, doesn’t DRR & HeO kinda make a combination that can be classified as “alpha”?
DRR2 might be better than DRR1 for this. But I would be shooting myself in the foot if I switched to another sub right after the overload from when I accidentally listened to the exp RM:V a few days ago.

I just got an answer from support

I planned to combine HeO with Synergy: Primordial Aura to build an aura based on HeO’s effects such as resilience, discipline, virtues etc.

The synergy’s description itself makes it sounds like the aura is neutral, which is perfect for what i’m after. But i was worried that that wasn’t the case since the individual focus modules are described as sexual in nature.

So i asked support whether my plan to imbue HeO with an aura based on itself is viable or not, and Fire confirmed that it is.

I’m gonna make the name embedded major immediately after HeO is updated.

I noticed 1 more thing that was lost when I stopped HeO.

I gave up more easily without it.
The resilience from HeO has changed me a lot even when I wasn’t using the sub.
But without it, it’s harder to be as resilient.

HeO seeps wider & deeper into many parts of my life.
After I got back to HeO 2 weeks ago, I’m starting to notice better resilience in many aspects where I wasn’t even aware that I was giving up.
This was so natural back then before I stopped HeO that I thought it had become a part of me.
But the break helped to show me otherwise. I need the clarity to know what I should still be working on myself independently from the subs. HeO has taught me what’s possible, it’s my job to live up to it.

After this discovery, Emperor: Executive seems way more interesting now.
Emperor is about resilience after all. Combined with Executive, it will be a killer sub.
I’m still more interested in Executive that’s based on Limitless, but I clearly need to focus on resilience.
There are many layers of resilience that I’m still not aware of.

I wish a part of the resilience scripting would be included in the LE version of The Executive though. It might not be as strong as the Emperor version, but I’ll be stacking it with HeO anyway. So that’s more than enough for my needs.

Update 1:

Honestly, I’m not missing much after I stopped LE half a month ago.
My creativity is higher because of RM:UWX and my productivity is similarly as high because of HeO & DRR1. The only thing I lost is the raw “motivation” from LE, but that doesn’t matter as much as what I gained from this stack.

I’ll wait for a few months to make sure the potential bloom is over, then I’ll take a look at it again.
Well, by that time, the new LE will already be here anyway, so that means I’m done with the old LE now.

HeO DRR1

Fuck I’ve been missing this level of fulfilment for months.
Every day is getting better and better.

DRR1 is also the perfect match for HeO.
Sometimes even I think that some of HeO’s goals are a bit too tall.
DRR1, like DRLD did back then, is slowly chipping away at those arbitrary limits.
Only DRR1 is more holistic than DRLD. It’s better for my needs.

I don’t know if there’s a stack that could be as fulfilling as this.

Now I just need to add the name embedded RMV1 to complete the trifecta.
LE will stay too for the sake of the “4-5 months use & 1-3 months rest” rule.
It’s a good all around sub to use as a substitute when I need to take a break with one of the three.
It covers HeO’s productivity, DRR1’s boosting capability, and RMV1’s creativity scripting to an extent.

I should reflect on what I did wrong on my first run of HeO.
The fulfilment should be actively cultivated instead of just relying on the sub to give me that effect.
That way I’ll be able to keep more of the effects in the long run.

Update 1:

I can’t just wing this.

I need a game plan, a guide. A list of actions that I can take to cultivate what the subs give me.
HeO is a big sub with a lot of objectives. I realized this after trying to work on growing what I got from the sub independently without its help.

If I want to get the most out of HeO, I must be more proactive.
It’s not enough to just enjoy the effects, I need to actively & intentionally live them.

This is a tall task since the nature of the application of the virtues themselves is fluid.
I’ll work on this little by little. NSE will be a great help for this, but I can only rely on the NSE from another sub in the stack for it since HeO doesn’t have NSE yet.

Update 2:

1 thing that the combination of HeO & DRR1 (and the changes from DRR2) really elevate:
The self-assuredness that the path I’m taking is the right path.
No, I will make it right.

HeO dealt with it with its resilience scripting. But on top of that, the blend of the “think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world” effect with the virtues.
Knowing that I’m not doing this just for myself, but also for a higher purpose really enhances my self-assuredness.

Add to that the holistic enhancement & limit breaking from DRR1 + the changes in inner power from DRR2, they bring the potency of the effect to another level.

Trying not to talk about RM:UWX’s wealth manifestation :upside_down_face:

I hope RMV1 has wealth scripting too. I didn’t see it when i read the description, but maybe there’s. I’ll be adding synergy: gold boy to DRR/G1 anyway so it doesn’t really matter in the long run.

I got an answer from support

Quick questions.

Does RMV1 have wealth scripting? I didn’t see it being mentioned in the description.

If there is, how strong is it compared to the one in RM:UWX?

I found that the wealth scripting in RM:UWX is more than enough for what I need. So even if the one in RMV1 were weaker, it would be enough for my needs in the next few years. But if there aren’t any, I plan to add Synergy: The Golden One alongside RMV1.

Hello Viktor,

This is Fire.

Wealth in RM:V is found in the fourth stage, while the first 3 stages deal more with skills and mastery over highly technical aspects.

If you really want wealth, I’d suggest adding a wealth module.

Regards,

– SC Support

I plan to drop LE from the rotation if I don’t miss it as much during this break period.
So I’ll miss 1 spot for the module if that plan goes

The original 4 subs plan

RMV1 + Synergy: Tale of the Dragon
DRG1 + Synergy: The Golden One
LE + Rembrandt
HeO + Synergy: Primordial Aura

The new 3 subs plan

RMV1 + Synergy: Tale of the Dragon
DRG1 + Synergy: The Golden One/Synergy: Primordial Aura
HeO + Rembrandt

I have to choose between gold or aura in the new plan.
After the answer, I should choose the golden one if I go with this.
RM:UWX’s manifestations show me I’ll want wealth scripting even just as a side in the long run.

#1231

You could get both and run the Primordial Aura just from time to time.

But then a classic custom would be cheaper.

#1232

Not a bad idea, honestly.
But yeah, might as well get a custom at that point, rofl.

I lost my reason to build a custom after I found out these 3-4 subs are enough for what I want.
The modules should also cover up the small things that I feel lacking from the stack.
Social scripting & Wealth manifestation.

Rewarding the guidance

“When the pulse & insight from a sub comes, don’t delay. Take action. It will teach your brain to follow its interpretation of the sub. Help the sub help you reach your goals.”

That’s what i have been trying to follow lately.
Because sometimes when i started a new sub, there was an impulse/insight that aligns with the sub’s goals, but i ignored it again and again. I ended up getting less of it.

But it could be another factor in play, further experimentation required.

I’m starting to think that a good part of my ability to have deeper awareness of my thoughts & feelings; and to just observe them is from HeO.

I am not as easily swayed by emotion anymore because i can see it with better clarity

I noticed that i regained some of the depth again after i restarted HeO.

HeO is affecting & growing the ability alongside my meditation practise.

I started going deeper into the meditation a few months after i started HeO. So i didn’t have a frame of reference to show me which effect is from which until i took 4 months break from HeO & restarted it again a few weeks back.

Fencing footwork

I have become more accustomed to move around with it.
Moving back and forth is not as awkward anymore.

Next month i’ll introduce lunges into my training routine.
I won’t rush it. I want a good foundation, so getting the movements, postures, forms etc as close to proper as possible first is the priority.

One thing at a time.

–

I’m still using my japanese wooden sword for this, rofl.
It’s just footwork though so that’s not a problem.

My cardio is shit.

It caught up to me. My body is just refusing to function now, i’m just tired.
Training the fencing walk on top of my work & workout is a bit too much for me who has been skipping real cardio like it’s a disease for years, rofl.

It’s a good start though, i’ll just adjust the volume, add more rest, and it should be good enough.

But damn i didn’t prepare for this, i was caught off guard.
I’ll just trust in my proper nutritional intake, good sleep, and HeO’s recovery scripting. I need my body to be functional tomorrow.

If an SC season is 1 year long, then isn’t the new HERO title just around the corner?

I might scrap the idea to make a name embedded HeO major in favor of a custom with both of them instead.

The new HERO could be a multistager based on the hints dropped by saint. If that’s the case then it lines up with my plan to use HeO for a few years.

Or i might give LE’s spot to it. Let’s see how things will turn out.

1 month without LE.

I barely noticed anything different.
No loss like when I stopped LBFH, HeO, or Mogul.

Either the bloom period is longer than 1 month, or my stack is enough to cover most of LE’s effects.
If it’s the latter, I honestly hope the update for LE will give more. Otherwise, I’ll just give its spot to the new HERO title later.

But I’m still optimistic about LE’s update this spring. It’s not fair to compare it with 3 ZPv2 MAX subs.

This looks so fun, i’m gonna learn this.

Update 1:

What the fuck am I doing, rofl
I just have to get the pattern ingrained in my head

Update 2:

image

This one is easier to understand.
So the second half of the drill is just horizontally flipped

–

The second picture actually helped me to immediately understand the pattern.
Start top right > move down after 2 > up after 2 > left after 4 > down after 2 > up after 2

I’m gonna drop subs other than DRR1 & HeO for now.
They are doing something deep and I want to let them do their fullest.

Scheduling Experiment’s Conclusion

6 months of doing variations of 9 on 4 off & 11 on 4/5 off & 13 on 5 off.

This turned out to be better than the rigid 11 on 4/5 off that I planned for back then.

If I feel like I want more, I’ll use 13.
If I feel like I can take the rest period earlier, I’ll use 9.
If I use too many 9s in a row, I’ll slowly balance it with 13s. vice versa.

Zero creeping subtle overload symptoms, unlike what I got with 15+ listening days.
As a schedule, this is the best I’ve experimented with so far.
I don’t feel like I need more exposure either. 13 at most is enough.

That concludes the experimentation about schedules.
This is what works best for me. Only upsides with no downsides compared to the normal 26.
I intend to keep it this way until a new tech makes us change the schedule again.

#1239

Solid video.
I wanted to propose a few variations after the first segment, only to see they are already proposed in the later parts :joy:

Maybe I should start this as well. Not only is it fun but also a good training for endurance.

I’ve been training this pattern for the past few days.
I followed the first pattern, then tried to combine it with what I know for fun.
The slash using the back edge of the blade is new to me since japanese blades don’t have that, lol.

It’s still all over the place but It will get better as I train more.

#1241

This is a deadly one if you know how to use it.
Firstly as shown in here, its often unexpected.
Secondly, it’s allows for smoother moves that wouldn’t be able with the long edge.
But that’s more advanced fencing, like the winden techniques.

RM? RM:UA? RM:UWX? RM:V?

I do storytelling but not always explicitly by words.
I’m involved in the sound experience of the product, but I don’t really make music much.
I can barely say that what I do is even “art” without stretching the definition.

Those are my biggest problems with wanting to use RM:UWX/V
They help me with creativity and parts of the job, but it feels like I’m gonna leave a lot on the table.

I want something more general for creativity, the problem is my experience with LE.
The creativity boost was too general that it felt really shallow in practice compared to RM:UWX & V.
I’m afraid RM or UA will be like this too.

But I’m gonna take the bullet, I’ll put my trust in the update & the fact that they are RM products.
I’ll pick one that gets updated first.
In the mean time, I’ll continue using only HeO & DRR1. They are doing wonders.

#1243

Isn’t 1.5+ years of healing subs enough for my foundation?
I looked back at my listening history & the progress I made throughout these years.
That made me realize how long I have been running healing subs.

I still want to run more and build a more solid foundation, but what about wealth? women? leisure?
I have been building my foundation for so long, why don’t I dabble a bit in pleasure outside of my work?

I will reach 1 year with HeO in the middle of this month.
I have reached enough productivity from all the subs that enhances that.
Why don’t I advance? Is it really the discipline or am I limiting myself too much?

My goals now with subs are productivity, creativity, & fulfilment.
Of the three, fulfilment is the only one I still need a sub to fill.
The other two are just me wanting to discover a deeper layer & possibility that I’m not yet aware of.

I’ll still stick with only HeO & DRR1 for now, but I will add Mogul before RM/UA are updated.
Then I’ll replace LE in my 4 month rotation.

Before the update:
HeO, DRR1, Mogul, LE

After the update:
HeO, DRR1, RM/UA, Mogul

HeO, DRR1, RM/UA & Mogul can help with productivity, HeO & RM/UA will handle creativity, and UA/Mogul for the wealth manifestation. I’ll lose LE but honestly I’m not missing much after I switched off of it in January. The goals will be less narrow, 4 instead of 3, but fuck it I deserve it.

I’ll still start small though, Mogul is proven to be exceptionally light & it’s more than enough for what I need. I still want to focus on my foundation after all despite what I wrote above. I’ll use it this year, then switch to EoG1 next year. ~1.5 years total of Mogul at the end.

I know this plan is gonna get fucked over once the new HERO title is out, but that’s a problem for later.
