So I should mention a few things before I start this post (1) I'm only really doing this because Shannon asked me to journal about this experience (i've quite lost my interest in journaling), (2) This is going to be a long first post as I need to go over a lot of things that has happened over the last few weeks since E4 came out, and this might require some philosophical things to be pointed out as these things helped me to move on, and (3) I would highly recommend anyone who has benefited from running OF to run E4 as it seems even more powerful and it seems to hit all the emotional issues along with guilt and shame which I feel have been significantly dealt with with this sub. I've had lots of breakthroughs since being on this sub. Not so much of the nature of the OF Breakthrough but no less powerful.
My confidence is through the roof at this point. Its like I feel myself radiate this feeling of power that is "almost" intoxicating in a way and motivates me to become even stronger. This seemed to have happened once I made a decision regarding the origin and basis for my identity. I realized something funny when you think about it. That out of all the things in the universe our own existence and being is the only thing we can be 100% certain about due to our unique conscious and awareness yet despite that we have no confidence or belief in ourselves. Instead we will base our identities on things external from us (Politics, ideologies, nationality, etc) things that we can not directly experience like we do with ourselves yet we will trust and base our identities on those things more. Its funny how this logic made sense not only to my conscious mind but levels of the subconscious as well.
I then had to ask (even though I've been going down this road for a while) do adding all these external things to base my identity off of make me anymore alive than I already am? The answer is of course no. Why then can I not just get my identity from myself based on my own being and existence instead of relying on these things that are not of me? Being careful not to base my identity internal in the sense of my emotions. Are my emotions real? are they something I can directly experience? Yes, but as of now they aren't me. I am not my emotions. My emotions are more an reaction to something. If my emotions are the "effect" part of me then thought itself seems to be the cause. Also before anyone thinks this is all simply "mental masturbation" it isn't because this is the way I change. I get epiphanies about myself and due to that I change myself. If this is too philosophical for some it might be better for them to read elsewhere. Not that that's wrong on their part but because some people grow through different means.
Either way, once I came to all these realizations the internal conflict ceased. Having a person put against themselves does nothing and achieves nothing but confusion. It serves no real purpose and serves no one least of all the person in question. So I'm glad to say that the conflict within me is gone. It would seem that all parts of me have come to agreement. All parts have "given up" something in order for this to take place. Internal conflict seems meaningless to me. External conflict however might have a meaning to it but certainly internal does not. With that in mind I am executing E4 wholeheartedly as I see no purpose in resisting it. The only thing I seem to notice at times is that a certain part of me feels "uncomfortable". Not resisting but feel uncomfortable with executing. I put this down to that part of myself not feeling totally familiar with some aspects of executing but that will come with time.
I should point out as well it has taken me like 3 days to even write this post. This is because every time I would stop and lose interesting in typing this out any further. Other times I would just have a realization about something else then stop typing this out. Either way take whatever benefit you can from this if any. As of now I know where I want to go and just refining the ways on how to get there. The Foundation thanks to E4 has been cleared and made. Nothing stands in my way anymore. I do want to make a special thanks to Shannon for not only making this sub but also making it available to people for free to people from the military and first responders who "had" PTSD. Thanks for caring about such people even when said governments that put people in such situations don't.
Anyway, I will write more in the future if anything comes up but I doubt its going to get more better than just fully executing with no real issues. For those still trying to get to execution just keep on pushing on. You will get there eventually and if not soon I'm sure once FRM is fully upgraded it will.
One interesting side note, I don't even care if I'm in a relationship now or not. Women aren't even really on my radar at the moment. Reason being that it feels like I have cleared so much shit that I am no longer "needy" about anything in that area and also I've grown so much , especially confidence wise, that I'm pretty certain most women aren't even worthy of me. Sounds arrogant but I'm not. Why should some one who has spent so much time dealing with his baggage, improving himself internally (externally as well), and knows who he is lower himself by being with someone who doesn't? I mean do women lower their standards for guys? They are notoriously known not to so why should I? I mean "perhaps" if I weren't serious, it was made clear it isn't serious, and I just so happened to be in the mood. "Maybe"?
I've also started to realize 2 things that Shannon has said in the past which are being played out in the people around me. People really do live on different wave lengths and if they aren't similar in that regards they don't even really interact or one submits to the other usually (starts acting Needy in my experience). Case in point my mother since this transformation hasn't even really said anything to me and in my mind she practically doesn't exist until I just so happen to run into her in the same apartment or here a noise she made, etc. Usually if I was trying to claw myself up to a better place internally as she saw this happen she would quickly try to "tear me down" so i couldn't really make any progress. Now she doesn't even bother because i am at such a high level of development that she probably sees it as pointless to try. Instead when she does interact with me she tries to just act "nice" and understanding.
Secondly It is quite amazing how after you reach such a level everyone wants to try to be your buddy to a degree or act super nice to you. (Really suspicious realization voice) Its almost as "if" your external reality is a mirror of what is going on internally.... hmmmmmmmmm...... its as if its your beliefs that determine your reality.... but that can't be true (heavy sarcasm)......
Anyway, I just realized I wrote even more without meaning to so I will just end it here. Good luck to everyone else and stop being afraid.
P.S. I'm too lazy to rewrite the original ending for this post and rather be authentic. So... Meh....
