Restday 2
I think i got a recon yesterday. i don’t remember enough to describe it, it just felt bad.
LBFH for 15m in the morning + 15m in the night was too much.
Update 1:
Negative self talk is almost gone. i can still feel bad, but negative self talk is mostly gone. if I do, it doesn’t chain up to different negative self talks.
I didn’t have a lot of negative self talk to begin with. LBFH enhanced that even more, a lot more.
Restday 3
The subliminal dream is back, i forgot what I dreamed about though lol
I always have a dream in the 5 days washout period
Vipassana helps me a lot lately. I don’t do the exercise consistently, but I use the concept a lot in my daily life
Update 1:
Whenever i feel bad, the universe is throwing everything at me to make me feel better.
When i feel good, LBFH enhances it even more.
Maybe it’s because WB was too heavy or it doesn’t align with the person that i want to be, but i get more girls & deeper relations on LBFH instead. Maybe i simply need to run WB longer.
The emotional control, detachment, physical shifting, increased sexual vigor, positive body image, and workout motivation from WB were really good though.
I may run WB again in the far future just for these effects.
I’m holding the urge to run LBFH solo. I can’t afford to have my productivity decreased now.
Make that custom with LBFH / LE 
I should, rofl.
I have been considering an LBFH Chosen custom with productivity modules to see the effects, but i need to use chosen first to see if i really want it in my custom or not
i really want to immediately use HERO in the next cycle.
but if it’s as dense as WB, I’ll delay it a bit longer before starting it.
i want DRLD, WB, and perhaps Mogul to be done processing in my head first.
WB has taught me that artisanal titles are no joke. I’ll follow the 12 day rule properly.
I reread the description, everything fits me perfectly like it’s tailor made for me.
except for the swordfighting, nothing in it is not what i already aspire and thrive to be. Even the super strength
Everything in it is what i want to be in a sub.
Rest day 5
I feel like i’m still processing the subs? It might be the case, but it can also be just a feeling and has nothing to do with subs.
Maybe i’ve been working too much.
Productivity is still good, but the workout motivation is nowhere near when i still used WB.
The next cycle will be LBFH + HO. I’m still waiting for the wooden sword to be delivered LOL.
Learning from what i impulsively did with WB a month ago, I hold myself back from buying HO before the scheduled listening day. I can’t violate the 12 day rule if I don’t have the sub to play.
Update 1:
it was not because of subs processing, I was having a headache a few hours after I wrote that. i think it’s from sleeping late this past few days.
I’m obviously not sword fighting (yet) but if you’re in any sports, or even big into fitness that involves a mind-body connection, HERO will be awesome for you
And the 1-1 component that’s helpful for swirdfighting… IIRC… is even mentioned to be helpful for other 1-1’‘s like chess?? Or am I misremembering?
i don’t know if i will do sword fighting either, I’ll just grab the sword and see where life & the sub lead me. i may get into sword fighting, choreography, or no set direction at all.
yes, I’m really into fitness. i’m excited to see the effects of HO compared to WB. everything in HO is everything I want in a sub down to the absurdly niched subjects that it covers, sword fighting is the only outlier. I can think about this sub as having a wise father who teaches you many great life lessons, but he urges you to learn about swords for some reason, lol.
i don’t think it helps with 1-1 only with sword fighting. it should help with other forms of confrontations too. i can’t say for sure though.
It’s not about sword fighting. I just won first place in a wrestling competition I had no business winning - finals was against an actual wrestler that weighed 30 pounds more than me. Meanwhile I don’t wrestle 
The combat scripting was insane. Wrestling, jujitsu, sword fighting, boxing, probably even arm wrestling, if it’s got physicality to it, HERO will rock
Cycle 7 Day 1
LBFH 15m AC 7m
A lot of my curiosity has been satisfied. i will not do a lot of experiments after this cycle.
LBFH + HO, then add DR once the ZPv2 MAX version comes.
I may make an LBFH + HO custom after I see what feels lacking with the stack and fill the cracks with modules.
looking back, a lot of things have happened in the past 6 cycles
It feels like it has been at least a year with the amount of changes that have happened in such a short amount of time. i feel like a child experiencing a ton of new things in life in just 5 months.
From meeting great people, great opportunities, having deeper relations, deep internal changes, everything feels new.
My only regret is not starting SC way earlier. i have known about SC for around 3 - 4 years but I never tried any of the subs until I heard about LBFH.
Cycle 7 day 2
Rest
I want to run LBFH solo, it’s really good.
I will do only microloops with HO in this cycle.
I’m repeating what I’ve written in this journal so many times but the effects of LBFH are just too good. The self assuredness, self love, manifestation, tranquility etc, everything is really good.
Cycle 7 day 3
LBFH 15m + later i added HO 30s
i want to use HO so bad, I’m really curious about what HO will make me feel.
but I can’t break the 12 day rule yet, HO will have to wait for now.
The wooden sword is finally being delivered.
when it arrives, I will play around with my wooden sword & see how HO will affect it. I’m so excited!
Update 1:
I was in my bed trying to sleep, but I was restless, I couldn’t resist the alure of HO.
so I bought and played HO for 30 seconds.
I feel a bit different, but I can’t describe it.
I started thinking visually about punches & swords? stoic? idk.
I’ll go to sleep and see what will happen tomorrow. the feeling is indescribable.
I immediately felt really thirsty, the same thirst I felt when I was running WB.
Cycle 7 day 4
deleted image of a wooden sword
The wooden sword is here!
Update 1:
It’s not as drastic as WB. Not even as DRLD.
No recon at all.
I started learning about things that i had been putting aside. It’s not an urge, it feels really natural to do like this is my daily activity.
i can feel my productivity & commitment is coming back. LBFH is great but it drags my productivity down if i use it solo. Looks like HO can help fix it like mogul.
I planned to do 1 minute next, should i do 3 minutes instead? It’s not as hard as i prepared it to be.
It’s still early. I will update more as the day goes.
Update 2:
Like yesterday, my mind keeps imagining martial art movements by itself. It’s much more clear today when i was doing image streaming.
Productivity is back. It feels different than mogul’s.
Update 3:
this is THE BEST sub ever… is what I’m feeling right now.
it might be too quick to say that since it has only been 1 microloop.
it’s not just work productivity like what mogul gave, it’s more about everything.
no recon at all, everything just flows. i don’t feel the sub is trying to make me who I’m not.
there are a lot of effects that I want to write here, but I will observe what happens tomorrow first.
Looks like BDLM is doing its job
that’s a different kind of wooden sword, LOL
I did my workout & did sword training after.
the workout motivation is better than before I used HO, but it’s not as much as when I used WB.
but it has only been 1 microloop. let’s see how it will increase later in this cycle.
the sword training was fun, I looked up tutorial videos on youtube and tried to follow them.
i think I really can get into this. i felt really good after I did it and it was really fun
like mogul’s effect with money and WB’s with women, I will most likely not write a public journal about sword training. i want to share this with my friends and don’t want a detailed online record of it.
Cycle 7 day 5
LBFH 15m HO 1m
HO’s effects:
-productivity is high and it covers more than mogul did. I’m doing things that I had been putting aside.
-i feel more curiosity in studying my work, swords, stoicism, image streaming & meditation.
-it lifts up my pride, respect, integrity, honor etc towards my work a bit higher.
-emotional control, i can feel it but i can’t describe it yet compared to WB.
-my mind is imagining combat movements on its own. It’s s a funny effect.
-more endurance & stamina in my workouts. i can’t say for sure about strength yet but i did feel a bit of an improvement there.
-i don’t feel more ambitious. it just feels natural to do all of these like it had been my habit long before i started HO.
LBFH’s effects:
it’s the best sub ever. i wanted to list a lot of things here but i’d be repeating myself.
the manifestations, self love, self appreciation etc. the effects are really good.
the only downside is the less productivity recon if i don’t use HO or Mogul.
LBFH + HO is really good so far. if this goes on then i don’t think i’d need another sub for a long time.
Update 1:
I don’t think I need more than microloops.
i will only do 10s increase every listening day.
but I will do 15m on every listening day before the 5 day washout.
Update 2:
“that’s not morally right”
“it’s not responsible if I leave it like that” etc
I’ve been subtly having these thoughts every now and then. i love it.
work productivity is lower but that’s because I’ve been busy learning how to do it better.
the desire to learn and improve is insane, but I don’t feel like they are urges,
more like it has already been my habit all this time. really natural.
Cycle 7 day 6
Rest
Lately I’ve been focusing on learning & optimizing my work, hobbies etc. There are a lot of redundancy that I neglected or wasn’t aware of before using HO.
HO makes me think a lot about stoicism. Is the word stoic in the script? Or is it just my reaction to the sub? Either way i’m enjoying the effects a lot.
LBFH’s overflowing love is becoming stronger too, like before i stopped using it for 1 cycle. I don’t need to try to do it, i just do. And it feels good.
Update 1:
I think WB’s effects are not really there anymore. there are changes that are still in development though but not much.
LBFH’s effects are in full effect now.
HO’s effects are here too. my workout motivation, endurance, stamina has increased. but I don’t think my strength has increased yet. I’ve only used HO for 2 listening days though, so it’s to be expected.
I’m also being more truthful to myself.
From the title description:
This title contains many references to the wisdom found in the classic text, “Book of Five Rings” by famed Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, along with the concepts of bushido and stoicism.
So yes there is stoic scripting in it.
