The Modern Libertine's diary

There's two reasons my avatar is a lion. One is, I'm born in August. The other is... Alpha Male.

Great read, man, keep it up.

On the taken women showing interest, by the way, I have been getting a lot of that for the last 6 months now. And from virtually only taken women. Been shooting women down left and right because of it. I had a woman come to my house at 4:30 am the other night tipsy and obviously interested in being sexually intimate with me. It was tempting, but she's married, and no matter how much she might want me, or how good the sex might be, taken is off limits. I can't really allow myself anything with her even after she gets her inevitable divorce, really, since she's not suitable for me anyway. So I had this woman on my couch wanting me to make a move - any excuse at all for her to give in and strip - and I didn't do it. I am proud of that, and you should be proud of yourself too. As a man, you deserve to be treated like you have the value that you do. A high value man deserves to get all of a woman he is with, not share her and definitely has no time or interest in drama or backstabbing other men.

A felliow Leo! I was born on July 31st. I dont meet too many other Leo's.
That would be yet another reason why I feel so connected to cat's.

And you're absolutely right. We do deserve quality women and there are plenty of them out there. There's so many women in the world I can't see why anyone would ever need to get involved in some drama like that...you know unless they just love the drama,haha. This girl has still not given up yet and she probably never will. He husband is of course always acting weird around me. The funny thing is that there are plenty of people around that he knows that actually would cheat with his wife at the drop of a hat and I'm not one of them. I think it's because he can't really be mad at her so he has to take out his anger on me. Beta males that try extremely hard to act alpha cause alot of unneccesary problems in this world. Acting alpha only slightly covers up your insecurities and not very well at that.

[Shannon]

In a case like yours, I would have to sit the man down and say to him, eyes locked... "Look, I don't touch taken women. Period. She's your wife. Therefore, I am not the one you have to worry about. Case closed. Now can we be friends, or do I have to decide that you guys can't be in my life because of the unnecessary drama?"

I commend you you Cortez and Shannon and anyone else who can say no.. It is extremely hard thing to do especially if there is a connection.

I too am a Leo and strongly think you should never get with or try to take a married/taken woman. (even if you could do so easily) I have one at work who hits on me non stop always touching me waiting for some action but i wont do it.

like Shannon said tell him to stop with the BS or GTFO of my life. Drama is never welcomed

[Shannon]

When a taken woman approaches me, I usually tell her that I don't touch taken. If she is not engaged or married, and I am interested, I might also mention that if she wants to be with me, she needs to make herself single. Then it's on her... but how she handles it shows how she will treat me if someone else she is interested in comes along. Killing two birds with one stone. I won't even offer if she's engaged or married. If she agreed to engagement or marriage, there was a reason. I won't even try to make myself an option to someone who's made such a major commitment to someone else. Single women only.

Sadly rare, those.

[Cortez]

Normally I don't care all that much, but this situation is ridiculous. It's funny for what it's worth, though.


Anyway, I started stage 2 today.

Here's how I feel from stage 1...very cleaned out. I'm not sure if that's the desired result or not, but it's a good feeling. It feels very genuine, like I dont have a bunch of nonsense clouding my thinking and also I am feeling incredibly independent. Overall, I've been feeling very good lately.

[Cortez]

I think these subs are really helping me to clear out a lot of anger. Good work, Shannon. I can definitely feel the effects of being very zen most of the time. It has also amplified my natural charisma to insane levels. On days where I am really in the zone, in the moment, in the now etc. etc. ad nauseum, whatever, I pretty much charm anyone I meet in a very powerful way. Yesterday an elderly woman looked at me and said "Why aren't you a movie star?" That cracked me up. I know it's not just old women that feel that way, but they're the only ones that really speak their minds and they do quite frequently around me. Those types of people are good examples for speaking your truth. I love it when I meet people who say what's on their mind because that's the way I am most of the time and that behavior is growing more and more every day.

[Cortez]

If the subs are still clearing out anger then Jesus...I had a lot of it. Because things are pissing me off lately out of the blue. I will have a day where I am elated and on top of the world, everything will flow my way, women are throwing themselves at me(meh) and then I will have a day where everything pisses me off and I am entirely not present and just disconnected. Whatever. If that's what is supposed to happen then I'll just go with it. I know what the problem is though and it's that I need to make a few changes in my life. It's time to take responsibility and have everything I ever wanted. This life is boring me and being a Leo, that is no bueno. Few things will annoy a Leo more than monotony. Any Leo's care to agree with me? I do think it's funny, though, that in the 2010 version, the stage where you act like a jerk is removed and yet I am still somewhat experiencing that kind of side effect. I'd hate to think what I would be like in the earlier versions of the set.


I'll be ok. Stage 2 is just showing me the darkest parts of myself, I guess, annoying as they may be, I am very grateful for it, because at the same time, I see plenty of people who can't seem to see any of their shortcomings whatesoever and it's kind of shocking to see how many people are asleep at the wheel, griping about the very same problems that they themselves cause.

[ronatello]

I feel the same way at times, Cortez. I'm having to deal with annoying crap in my life (see my latest posts), like punky little boys that act jealous around me because I like going out and having fun every once in a while. Whatever... they can have that too if they wanted to.
It's really funny when one works on themselves, others try to pull the person back down.

Stage 2 is just showing me the darkest parts of myself, I guess, annoying as they may be, I am very grateful for it, because at the same time, I see plenty of people who can't seem to see any of their shortcomings whatsoever and it's kind of shocking to see how many people are asleep at the wheel, griping about the very same problems that they themselves cause.

Right on!

Yes being a Leo myself and living a monotonous life dose suck the thought of working in a office full of cubicles for example dose not sound like a fun and fulfilling life. as far as people causing problems and crying about it i see it all the time with the people i know sometimes i just want to smack them upside the head to try to wake them up

Removed? No. Reduced, refined, lessened... but not removed. It's a necessary part of the transformation.

I am Leo, and I usually feel most alive when I am not dealing with monotony, by the way... but I do deal with a lot of monotony...

Something snapped in me today and I finally let up on my massive ego. This has been building for a while and I've had results similar to it when I was doing Natural Grounding hardcore last year. You see, I'm big in to not pursuing women...at least as a general mindset, but sometimes I let my standards fight against my natural feelings and I identify too strongly with not giving away any power and that is due to insecurities and I know this now. Releasing these insecurities is what is most important because I have attracted the attention of some beautiful women in the past, but it didn't really make much of a difference to my overall sense of being meaning my self esteem, confidence(well short boost, but you know) and looking back, the only times I did attract them was when I was really feeling my masculine power in a non-egoic state or at even before when I didn't have a lot of social skills and they just thought I was really hot,haha, but the point is that the women don't really matter all that much and now that I am reaching levels where I am caring less and less what others think of me with every passing day, I am finally understanding real indifference and attaining the state where I can say whatever I want and not care what anyome thinks of that. As a result, most everything I say is golden or it seems that way. I have been having absolutely and consistently fantastic results lately. I owe a large part of that to the alpha set, but also to concious reframing as well. I am deciding where I want to go and living that type of life. I realize now that it isn't the pursuing of women on a concious level that is what's important, but more the energy behind it. As a result, I find myself doing things that I would have considered pursuing in the past, but now don't because the result doesn't matter a whole lot to me. For a while there I was totally indifferent to women and now I'm totally indifferent to any outcome with them, but really love them as a whole. I think things are finally coming together, all of this stuff that I had within me from my years in the seduction community(Not a healthy community, but I learned some useful things) is coming out in healthy ways now that I have positive mental programming and a toned down ego to really make it shine. I like the way things are going.


Also, two girls have told me within a week that they had dreams about me. One was a sexual one...somewhat and another had a dream that she was in a relationship with me. These things keep happening more and more. I think it's hilarious.

[Cortez]

Well I've been on stage 3 for about 3 or 4 days now.

It's hard for me to pinpoint the exact effects of what this has done
for me so far, but while this is a very dramatic program, it's also very subtle. Here's what I've noticed...

-A definite releasing of attachment to any outcomes with women. This alone has brought a lot of peace.

-A releasing of a lot of pent up anger. I did have a lot of it that I needed to get rid of. Even when I wasn't conciously aware of it, it was like a tightness in my solar plexus and when I get rid of that, everything flows from me naturally and I am really able to connect with people. I'm not even going to get metaphysical right now, but if you know anything about the chakra system, that makes a lot of sense now that I think of it.

-A powerful urge to take action on the things that I need to take action on. I have always been inclined to put certain things off if they don't sound desirable and so the alpha set is slapping me around concerning that, lol.

-A need for independence

-Way more attraction from women too and also the ever growing ability to tell them whatever I want. It's becoming increasingly fun to become completely honest with women. I can essentially say whatever I want. At that point it's their responibility to take it and do with it what they will.

Stage 3 effects...

It's hard to say, but I feel like there is something in here about being social because everywhere I go, I seem to strike up long conversations with people. This has been happening the past few days.

[Spiral]

Sounds good cortez. I've also felt some tightening up in my solar plexus area. I noticed this happened yesterday to me. I'm only on stage 2 so this might happen a few times to me. That's good though.. I'm focusing on balance and peace right now.
