Nice try, guys.

[Cortez]

Thanks for the 5G Absolute Self Confidence, Shannon. I'm hitting that directly after I get done with this month. I can't wait to try out the new 5G.

[RainbowAbyss]

Great scott!!-ASC 5g-just picked it up
I'll def be doing that one real soon.
@ cortez-whats the happiness sub like-I'm very interested but a little worried about losing motivation for getting myself out of a bit of tricky rut-I've landed myeslf in-with the help of the deeply negative but good natured peeps I had been involved with for far to long . Do you find yourself feeling more in tune with your immediate life or kind of just 'out ther' super happy about everything lol
@ Shannon-how has 5g Alpha effected you differently then the previous one's?

[Cortez]

I didn't feel like that sub made "goofy happy" or kill motivation in any way. Actually it didn't hit me that strongly from what I remember, but that's why I want to do it again. I probably didn't do it long enough. There definitely were a few moments of euphoria here and there. It was an interesting sub. I want to do it longer this time. A little more happiness never hurt anyone, right?

[Shannon]

Rainbow, AM 5.0 has hit me MUCH faster than previous versions, and in a much more natural and organic "I'm there/it's me" way. It's also making me more forcefully respond even as it's making be respond in gentler terms than before. The "jerk" stage seems to have been toned down considerably, and replaced with the "unhappy leader" who wants to rectify an injustice. Keep in mind, though, I'm only about half way through Stage 2.

[RainbowAbyss]

ooh the unhappy leader is quite the burden-especially if one is authentically more evolved then the company one keeps. It can be quite a burden actually knowing what's best for the whole deeper then personal prefence and having others fight it tooth and nail because they want to know whats for everyone based on their agenda and need to control, and I can only say that since alpha 2011 helped me move from the later to the former. In any case- I wish you happy growth in moving into the happy leader stage.
BTW what what do you mean unhappy leader...injustices are really vexing you?

hmm, sounds pretty solid,
and no, haha I think happiness only ever helps-especially when it comes from within. I only ask because I have tended to get into such euphoria from my lately from my pracitces,-and all subs I have done seem to give me euphoria on some level except maybe Alpha-that making anything concrete happen is about as irrelevant as dust on my shoe. I do love that sweet spot thought where those good internal feelings lead to real world change and detached from yet desired outcomes.

I mean that I see injustices and I am unwilling to stay quiet about it. I am motivated to do something about it. And the leader part comes from... I don't see anyone else doing it, so I guess it falls to me.

[Cortez]

Yes, most people will not do anything when push comes to shove. In fact, in the face of disaster, others often look around to see who is going to guide them and give them direction. When you've really assimilated the qualities of an Alpha or archetypal male, then you are the one they are looking for when they're frantically looking around. I only want to assimilate more of these qualities and further power up this way of being as time goes on.

And when you're this guy, forget even questioning where you stand with women, they all want you especially the really hot ones with high self esteem. The hottest ones will pursue more than any others as a matter of fact. I once had a calender model drive all the way from Austin to where I lived in Tulsa(A good seven hour drive) just to spend the weekend in my bed, but when you have the mindset of the archetypal male, you could take it or leave it anyway, because even if you never got laid again, it wouldn't really matter because you already have everything you need. It doesn't feel like you ever need anything outside of yourself.

It's all very powerful stuff. A complete polar opposite of most men walking this earth.

Very interesting Shannon, you have highlighted a few things i've noticed too with 5.0. I am about to make a journal post and will talk about it some more there.

I'm a few days out from finishing up stage 6 of AM 2011. I already did AM 2010 about a year and a half ago and it was great, but the second time around has been much much stronger. I'm starting to feel like Khal Drogo for real half the time. I radiate such powerful authority all the time that I might need to actually tone it down a bit, lmao. I can be very intimidating for some people. The women, as shy as they may be, look at me like something they've seen before. Those lusty looks are hilarious. It's all too easy to segway that in to whatever I want. Though, as happened last time in the later stages of Alpha and did again in this one, I'm altogether uninterested in being women for any extended period of time 95% of the time. I'm mainly raw animal sexuality on Alpha. Last time I did Alpha, I had a girl that I was seeing in the later stages, but I was aloof just as I am now and our relationship was almost entirely about sex. We barely even talked.

I have definitely changed my look up a lot since starting this set as well. I grew my hair out and I've got the Gaius Baltar from Battlestar Galactica look going on. I also felt like growing a beard and so I did. Women seem to really like that on me too. On top of that I have been working out intensely and eating a ton of protein. I feel like the alpha set has been pushing me to do that more as well. I want to get up to about 220 pounds of lean muscle and that's a very attainable goal very soon it seems.

My job has been seemingly infinitely easier since doing this set again. I have a lot of things to do on a daily basis and I can barely even rest, but I can easily prioritize things in my mind and find the most efficient way to do them, all while not really ever getting stressed out at all.

The one downside, if you would call it that, which I really wouldn't, is that I seem to be WAY less social when I'm on Alpha. I've always been more of a loner and I'm just happier by myself most of the time, so I don't consider that a negative, but I did notice that I was a lot more social when I was doing Sex Magnet, but that's just par for the course. I definitely make wiser decisions after the second run through of Alpha. I think it really solidified me. Sex Magnet was a lot of fun, but damn, I was out of control. A total sex maniac, lmao. I'd say overall, I like the feeling of being a strong man better than that and I guess I'm just not super social when I am fulfilled in myself.


Overall I love this set, it's my favorite set that Shannon has made thus far and I can't wait to do AM 5.0 in a few months.

In the meantime I'm definitely going to do ASC 5G for a month and then I'm totally doing that "Fearless" sub that Shannon just came out with. I've been wanting him to make one of those for a long time. I'm chomping at the bits to try that thing out!

Cortez,

What is the value of being uninterested in women? I keep seeing that repeated in other posts but have yet to see the value add. I mean understand that it might be the opposite of being needy - but I hardly think one needs to be needy if one is also interested in woman. One can be non needy and still interested in women. And I DO see the value in that.

I just don't get it.

[Shannon]

Perhaps I can shed some light. Being uninterested in women is a state in which a man is so self sufficient that his needs are being provided for internally. He does not need women, and his drive to reproduce is under his conscious control. He is, first and foremost, in complete (or at least very high levels of) control of himself.

If you have never experienced this before, it will be hard to understand, or see as a "value add", but I'll try to explain. You and I and all males have a deep, innate urge to reproduce our genes. It's a constant push, and you become used to it. Over time, it becomes normal. You don't think of it as "that monkey on your back" because that monkey seems to BE your back, metaphorically speaking.

But when suddenly you are not being driven to find a woman, when you are happy with your own company, when you can say no to an offer of sex because something about it - or her - displeases you... when you no longer are a slave to your genetic animal drive to reproduce... it is a very freeing experience. It is a freedom that very few men ever experience.

And that freedom is in itself enjoyable, but the real value add is that when you achieve that freedom, women see that you are now displaying the actions, attitudes and other signals that mark you as a leader, a man who has high enough value that he doesn't need women, and therefore a man who has options. Such a man is unusual at best, and probably pretty rare more realistically, but such a man also is what her genes are telling her she wants in a man more than anything else: the strong, self sufficient leader. The man who can protect, provide, and control. The alpha male. The man who has the best genes and the best chance of allowing her to reproduce hers successfully.

Being uninterested in women, ironically, is the best way to get them. And it allows the man the freedom to do other things with his life than spend it trying to get them, too. It's a win win for everyone.

And when a man has that attitude, it's going to take a high quality woman to interest him, and he therefore will naturally attract and end up with a good mate.

What's not a value add here?

[Tiesto]

Great post Shannon! (as usual)

I noticed that too, since I have decided to just stay single, and not giving too much thoughts about women, it is like the tables have turned, now I'm the one getting pursued, some of my female fans have been hinting hard of wanting me, and I just act like I don't know what's going on, lol, until they just say it outright and even beg for me to become their girlfriends, I feel bad rejecting them, but I rejected them anyway, I told them I'm not interested to be in a committed relationship, they just laugh, and said it is the first time they've been rejected by a guy before, one of them still couldn't believe it, and had to ask me again for the second time to be her boyfriend a few weeks later, and I still say no.. lol! I'm pretty sure it's only going to make them more curious and wanting me, but even if not, I don't really care..

I'm still new at these types of experiences, but you're so right Shannon, it is truly very freeing experiences, I want more of this, I can't wait to get a taste of AM 5.0, Cortez's posts also have been very inspirational.. I want to experience more of this Alpha power of indifference, and being so focused on one's personal goals and success above all else...
