- In stages 1 and 2 I experience major reality shifts where the best I could do was to surrender and trust that everything will fit together eventually... and then adapt when I finally figure it out... aaand repeat. Quite often the sub doesn't wait for me to figure one thing out before it hits me with the next. Definitely worth it in the long run, but the benefits are not immediate.
- In stages 3 and 4 the stress is still high, but somehow I always seem to be one step ahead of all my challenges. Felt to me like exactly the right mixture of stress required for me to grow. Almost no deep shifts, just honing the more superficial skills that I need to achieve my goals. Lots of work getting done at high speed.
- Finally, stages 5 and 6 have always been pleasant to me (a bit unnervingly so). Very few challenges to conquer internally. For me it's as if things begin to happen effortlessly and the skills I've developed are there almost as a fallback plan. Or maybe I'm just applying them effortlessly without thinking.
Every run I did seemed to follow this exact schedule. Only the actual stuff that gets worked on seems to be different/deeper every time. After stage 2 it gets progressively more fun and pleasant, but just those 2 stages are a big part of why I'll wait for the next update of BASE before I run it again.
Once I get through them though, I've always had a lot of real fun during the rest.
I agree. We've had similar experiences then. It was rough on stages 1 - 4 and it sort of leveled out for 5 - 6. I sort of consider 5 - 6 to be more of vision building, which is what 3 - 4 do a bit, and 1 - 2 do the foundation building.
Once the TLAM kicks in at stage 3, I think that's the point where i really started getting serious and thinking big.
Though 5 - 6 weren't nearly as bad in terms of challenges and resistance I do feel they helped create the months where i had the best momentum. It was like the final push to get up onto a plateau. Then things got weird when i tried 7 and went back onto 1 and 2.
I'll likely run BASE at least once more after this current run. After that 3rd run 6G will likely be out, then the real fun begins.
Though this is a feeling rather than anything rational, i feel as if BASE 6G will be something like an Elon Musk creating sub where we go from baby steps in terms of business to really cranking results out.
By referring to Elon, I mean his vision, persistence and drive. The ultimate 'I know what I want, and I'm going to get it' type attitude.
That might just be a fantasy, but I guess it depends on what your goals are and where you are right now.
I just know I have big goals and I'm willing to put in some serious grind to put everything together.
Hopefully you guys have a similar vision.
