Still Alive

I'm still here, having an awesome time. I'm about to start a polyphasic sleep schedule experiment, and I might choose this blog to document it.

I'm starting a lot of money-building activities and everything is going great.

Where the fuck is Phoenix? I've kinda lost touch with him, stopped hanging out on IRC. Anyway if you're here Phoenix shoot me an email.

Holy Shit

I just realized that I haven't posted to this in over 2 months. Wow. I'm not sure why Phoenix slacked off, but my official excuse is that I haven't had internet at my apartment for almost that entire period. I just moved into a new apartment partially because of this issue, and so I'm now proud to say I'm posting from my new place without having to type on a laptop computer in the library.

Nothing is lost. I will post more from now on. Keep posted.

This Screen.

Playing in Winamp: mum - we have a map of the piano

What would you say is the biggest thing that is holding you back in your everyday and your sensual life?

Is it fear?

Lack of motivation?

Addiction to a lifestyle?

For me, my biggest problem was right in front of me. It’s a manifestation of all that is social programming. Where you are physically chained to an idea, the idea that you have to conform to rules. Whether it be the empire of AFCdom or the secret society of the seduction world, you are asked to follow a set rules, some of which give you more sucksex than others do. ;)

Through this screen and many others, the media, communities and even single people are reinforcing the lies created by the beta-male society. If you’re reading this, I can imagine that you are spending quite some time viewing the world through this screen. It doesn’t matter if you are just using it for things like self-help, education or even sarging. You are still living your own reality TV show through this screen, and I hate reality TV shows, especially yours!

Now, I’m all for learning new things and improving yourself, that is something that has to be done, but spending 3, 4, 5 hours in front of a square light EVERY DAY is going to hold you back from living life more than ever. Think about it, technology has made it convenient to stay inside, we have almost become completely self-sufficient as a society. If we need something to eat we can just pick up the phone, if we need some entertainment we just press a button on our remote, if we need some education, we just boot up the home PC. We don’t have to step foot outside the house if we don’t want to. People need excuses like work, shopping, and school to step outside of their “safety blanket” houses. No wonder some people are bad in social situations, for them it’s a giant, new, scary thing.

As a newbie to the game, I learned a lot once I found the ASF community, and I kept on learning. Every day I might find something new, some tiny nugget of gold that will improve my skills or life. These tiny nuggets of gold would build up and I’d spend more and more time reading, learning and just generally bumming around infront of this screen. It took me a while from first coming into the community to actually taking what I learnt and doing something with it and when I did, I sucked. Nothing was natural I was uncalibrated and I remember thinking some really negative shit because I had false expectations. It’s not good to sit and read all day, you can sit and read and become the theoretical master of seduction, but if you don’t take that knowledge and do something with it, you just wasted your life!

I remember someone in the community posting this and I thought it was good, so I saved it, although I have no idea who they are, but thanks whoever you are:

“You ARE 'learning stuff', but that can only take you so far. Let's say
you're learning to play the trumpet. Without picking up a trumpet, you
read all kinds of books and manuals about how to hold it, what buttons
to push, how to blow (this analogy is cracking me up ;) ... but you'll
never become an expert, or even any good, if you don't pick up a
trumpet and try it for yourself, although you will be able to discuss
trumpet playing with those who do.

And the first time, you will screw it up and dribble spit everywhere and it
will be nothing like the books said it would. But at least you know where
you have to start from. Keep practicing, fucking up, looking back at the
manual to see how you could not do that fuckup in the future, and keep
at it.

Eventually you'll be playing it very well!

You can learn facts and theories, and you can just go do shit in the field
and see what happens. But these two areas of knowledge should grow at
similar rates. And if you do them alongside one another, they will
contribute to one another.”

Job Opportunities

Playing in Winamp: Gorillaz - Feel Good inc.

Recently I’ve been searching for a job. Most of the work out there is boring work, like check-out jobs and factory jobs, all of which are about as stimulating as asking “would you like fries with that?” for 8 hours a day.

Of the few jobs that I can do, I’ve found 2 well-paying jobs, which a year ago I’d love to have done. The first is a database programmer, for the past few years, I’ve studied computing at college and had to build databases for projects, so it’s something that’s comes pretty easy to me, although most of my projects didn’t work at all, I just made them look like they worked…haha, I really hate programming. The other is a call centre job, selling things like insurance and loans, for me, this job would be a new way to get experience and develop some more skills. I’m pretty sure I’d get paid quite a bit too, since it’s on commission, but I would be driven crazy in a call centre environment, sitting in the same chair for 8 hours a day, fuck that.

Instead of going for those high-paying jobs, I think I’m gonna apply for a job in a local warehouse, moving stuff around. It may be only half the pay of the other jobs, but I’d actually be doing some physical work, I’d get a good discount off power tools (everybody loves power tools) and I might be able to transfer to another branch of the warehouse in the city that I’ll be moving to when I start uni.

Basically, I’ll be enjoying myself at this job because there’s lots of cool stuff around, and if I DO get bored, I could always steal something, right?

Anyway, all this job-hunting has made me think about what my opportunities will be when I get officially certified as a hypnotherapist (hopefully by the end of the year).

The avenues of work are either stage hypnotism, all though I’m into mentalism and some aspects of magic, I don’t want to be a stage hypnotist right now. There’s hypnotherapy, and even if I was interested in dealing with people’s problems, I don’t think most people would trust a teenager with their problems, and they’d be right, I’d fuck with their minds just for shits and giggles. :)

So, what else is there to offer?

I’ve been reading some of Bishops archives and I think he does some sort of energy reading/hypnotic journeywork as a job, that might just be some BS he throws in to get past a hook point though. Hypnotica has made a hypnotic journey CD, and a lot of chicks that I’ve showed it too are really hooked. I figure that I could do some more exploration in this area, see what other hypnotists are doing, but if you have any ideas, let me know :)

Cyclical Changework

Playing in Winamp: Kasabian - Club Foot

I’d like to run over a few ideas with you guys.

But first, I’d like you to STOP. And RELAX, as you collect your thoughts to ALLOW YOUR MIND to go into a TRANCE-forming experience. That’s right! ;)

Now,

In the fantastic world of changework, many methods of change are employed and indorsed by many people. Some of which seem a little pointless (primal screaming), some of which can be used to brainwash people (religion) and some of which are genuinely efficient at creating change. All methods used have one underlying principle that is used, Beliefs, our belief system is what shapes us, it is the lens that we choose to view the world, we take in our information through our 5 senses, it gets filtered through our belief system and then we turn it into thought…amazing.

Your belief system has to come from somewhere… and assuming you weren’t born with it, that only leaves your life experiences, influences and inspirations. Everything that has ever occurred in your life has, to some extent, made you who you are today. So how do we change the aspects of our lives that are holding us back?

Just do it.

Without sounding like a Nike representative pimping out some new kind of footwear, “just do it” is all you have to do. Go out and have a new experience, one that will create new thought processes and develop/refine your belief system. Whether you are using primal screaming, religion, hypnosis, NLP or any other form of changework, they are all designed to do one thing, and that is to get the ball rolling. They give you the belief that you can change, one that you can act on.

Take confidence for example, many ASF’ers starting out have confidence issues, which they don’t know how to change, but once they take action in any aspect of ‘the game’ and get feedback, whether it be approaching your first set, working out or any number of things that they feel they can do right now to improve their game, once they see good results, it re-enforces the belief of confidence which in turn inspires you to search for more new experiences that will re-enforce your confidence more, this is how changework snowballs into success. If you get negative results from something, that’s great too, it gives you a chance to step back and choose a new path, a better way of doing things.

The most important thing is to begin the change AND progress to the next level until you give your mental snowball enough momentum to advance on its own. Are you going to do this by sitting here and reading this post? …No. What I hope this post will do is make you realise that by just thinking about something using a method of change won’t make you morph into something incredible, change requires action and progression through new experiences. What using a method of change WILL do is give you the initial thought to start the ball rolling.

Expand your comfort zones, how else are you gonna develop as a person?
