Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Shannon I think an ascendant alpha is when you see things as either pleasant or unpleasant. And you just avoid everything that's unpleasant.

I'm using aura of dominance, unlimited wealth and socializing is just a fun game, rockstar mix.

I'm being pulled to face my fears and every single time I win and get more comfortable with things I struggled with before. Building confidence in areas that matter.

This is definitely an all encompassing mix. I'm progressing more in every area, working harder on building my company and also joined a startup, took 15%. Both have a lot of potential, but the potential of mine is like a skyrocket.

Having more thoughts about money and conquering all the anxieties that come up in association with it. Both in my head and the real world.

Just an update, because I think theory-progress is important too.

Also, how should I listen to these? I'm currently playing each for 1:30 on a loop.

Thats not an Ascendant alpha. Thats th psychology of an animal. Avoiding pain and going towards pleasure. an ascendant alpha understands that not all things that are good for you are sweet and that pain is nescessary for growth. You wont progress if you avoid unpleasant things.

Just because humans strongly prefer to be forced to grow through pain does not mean that pain is necessary for growth.

It is also possible to grow through observing others and learning from their experiences, and then choosing not to force the need for pain to grow. And, it is possible to grow through consideration and contemplation of a thing and it's circumstances.

The sad fact is, because they are afraid of growth (change), most humans strongly prefer to be forced to grow as a last resort, and that is done through experiencing pain that exceeds the level of fear involved. But it isn't necessary for it to be that way. There are other choices. Believing that "pain is necessary for growth" makes for a lot of needless suffering in this world.
