Transcendental Sith Lord's UH / MLS Journal

[Sky]

Well, things are actually going quite good so far.

Should be close to finishing another section in my math course possibly by today. After that only have 4 more sections I believe. Want to get through this math course sooner as I feel this is eating too much time. The reason why I didn't go as fast through my courses last term was because this course was holding me up. I don't want to make a repeat of that this time. I just really need to get through this degree and study for my tech interviews because quite frankly I need that increase in base pay to live a bit more comfortably. Preferably if I can get a remote job with a major company.

I did end up buying a small portable gym and ended my gym membership. Quite frankly I prefer working out at home. This time I am motivated to get into the best shape possible. Going with this I will be doing a 7 day a week workout and working out 1 body part a day. Will be sure I'm eating enough calories as well. On the mental side my call to cut out any potentially addictive things out of my life is paying off. Decided yesterday along with porn ,which I had cut out completely for pretty much a month now, I will be going no fap as well. I noticed since I have cut out all these things (video games, porn, youtube watching, and now fapping) life is just a lot better. I find myself in a lot better mood and find enjoyment in just living. Also, even when I do occasionally take a break and watch a movie for example I find it a lot more enjoyable. I assume this is not only a change in beliefs but also since my brain isn't overloaded with dopamine activities I am a lot more sensitive to it. To help with this whole process I think in like 2 weeks or so I will be doing a 2 hour float in a sensory depravation tank. Just want to relax for 2 hours completely without any sensory input or worry about my surroundings.

I did find also changing all this made it so when I do stuff like my studies they actually interest me a lot more. Speaking of which I found out why my subconscious suggested Mastery by Robert Greene. Always liked his different books (ever since I read the 48 laws of power in highschool) but I felt like this one was really key to making me realize some things. I can also see why the parts of me that might still be resisting wanted me to be distracted from it for a while until like 2 days ago I suddenly remembered about it again and started listening to the audio book (for anyone interested there is a free audio book version of it on youtube broken into 2 chapters at a time).

Listening to it made me realize what I need to do. If I really want to be great in the realm of programming I'm going to have to do what other masters in field did which is fully dedicate themselves to it. One thing that the book does talk about is how, just like with the apprenticeship way of learning, you need to get to about 10,000 hours with an activity in which at that  point your should be at about mastery status. Mind you this is only an average. In reality it can take anywhere from 728 hours to 16,120 hours. So the individual in question does have some bearing on how long it takes (along with if you have a good teacher). There is some truth behind this as looking at the great composers for example despite being called geniuses many of them didn't make anything original until they accumulated over 10,000 hours of practice. The ones that were an exception to this rule usually did earlier at 9,000 hours.

Granted also some certain skills take longer to master than others. I know I've seen for certain programming languages it only takes 200 hours to be job ready with them and then mastery is at about 2,000 hours. Despite this I think what I will do is still go for an 10,000 hour mark but with that broken up into different aspects of programming (certainly not all in one language either). If I'm going to do any of this and be in a certain field I'm going to be the best I can be at it. For once in my life I feel as though I want to really achieve something. I feel as though I have regained my will power and motivation to face issues. The other good news is that when you master one programming language it becomes a lot easier to learn others as a lot of them use the same understandings and techniques. Usually the only differences are the syntax of said languages and maybe some small unique features.

Lastly, I did start my trading and I actually find it enjoyable so far. I have set up alarms that go to my phone when certain assets go above or below a certain price. I'm finding it enjoyable as I just either buy or sell after getting an alert then I just set it and forget it. This is a long term strategy so I will see where I am at over a year. Overall several different areas in my life are changing for the better.

I love reading your journal! I want to improve my motivation to study my programming skills too. Are you on UH or MLS right now?

@DarthXedonias Just so you know bro, the 10,000 hour rule is bs. Of course there’s a trend with how much you do something and mastery but this quote somes it up nicely: “Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.”

[DarthXedonias]

@Sky I am currently running MLS at the moment. I would highly suggest running UH for a while before running anything else as that seemed to clear things up.

@Frosted Not necessarily, it depends. There are of course other factors. However there was a more recent study done where it compared musicians who were consider low tier/average, to those who are good, and then finally those that were considered elite in their field. Those considered low tier only clocked in about 6,000 hours of practice before their 20s. Those considered good or elite clocked in about 11,000 hours. Since practice hours were roughly equal between the the good and elite people that's when other factors started playing more of role to explain the gap (good teachers, creativity, some might even argue genetics, etc, etc). However that practice does explain more the gap between low tier/average and good. The point being if you aren't even at good point in that skill that you want first actually practice to the point of being good then fine tune everything else if you are able to so you can reach mastery or elite status. The only other thing I would probably say about that is obviously make sure you have a good teacher beforehand so you are instructed in your skill correctly from the get go.

Thanks @DarthXedonias for the suggestion! I may run UH after I finish my stage 7 run of LTU6. What were your results of UH? Do you think it was significantly better than perhaps E5 or E4. LTU6 has E4 in it, so I'm wondering about the difference.

If you want to know my results they are actually on the first page of this journal. I would say its better than those you mentioned because at the time it had the most updated tech. Still does out of all the healing subs at the moment.

I'll check it out! Thanks!

I first started thinking, "Ah, another defense mechanism I need to counter." Then I realized that I had already countered it, identified what I had done that was the reason it was countered, and understood that's why it was revealed.  That felt good.

Time is perceived (created) according to your state of awareness.  When you focus internally and work at high speed in an environment where that speed is not compared to the outer world, there is no relative reference for how fast you are going, so you normalize to that "speed" and it seems like what you're used to.  When you then shift focus outside of that processing bubble to the "real world" it seems that time slowed down because you're expecting that X number of actions take Y amount of time.  Internally, there is no limit to how fast you can think as long as you stop relying on (or reduce reliance on) the physical brain to do your thinking.  It's like trying to process a complex mathematical process in a terminal designed to show you results, vs trying to process it kn the main computer designed to do that kind of work at maximum speed.  Most people never realize that the brain is just a terminal, and the mind can work much, much faster outside of the limitations the physical brain has.  Just depends on where you focus as to what gets used.

I am very pleased to see you making progress.

@Shannon,

Can I get this same sort of result by continuing with LTU6 if I haven't run UH and a full run of the latest MLS yet, to have my mind help me with problem-solving rather than my physical brain processing information after I've healed more?

I don't remember to what degree the brain-to-mind processing transition was completed at the time LTUv6 was completed, so I cannot answer that.

Hi Shannon, I ran LTUV6 Stage 7 for two months. I got my first ever girlfriend serendipitously through a dating app. It worked out really well. Should I run UH now before running MLS again to pursue my data science learning goals, or should I stay on LTUV6 Stage 7 and continue reaping the benefits? My brother says why not stay on LTUV6 S7 if I'm getting good benefits from it because my whole life has improved. He thinks I should stay on it until I've reaped all the benefits. However, after reading DarthXedonias's journal, I'm fascinated by the brain-to-mind processing transition because to my understanding that sounds like I'll learn how to problem-solve coding better because my mind will be doing the problem-solving rather than my slower, physical brain as the terminal. It seems LTUV6 S7 doesn't have what UH has, so what are your thoughts? Am I overthinking and should I stay on LTUV6 Stage 7, or move onto Universal Healing?

A deep part of me believes feels like learning to code in SQL and Python will be hard because actual problem solving is hard and potentially so hard that I get frustrated, give up and feel sad. I have to beat my head against the wall to solve a coding problem I do and ruthlessly solve for the answer for days or a couple of weeks before I can safely ask for help or look at an answer key which is normal, but i'm hoping UH can expedite my learning ability. That's why I'm thinking UH. However, my brother says LTUV6 is doing me a lot of good and that I don't need subliminals to solve my learning issue because I just need to practice learning. What do you think? And my brother suggests I stay on LTUV6 because of the love life module for my new girlfriend.

Sorry if I've asked this question already, I have an obsessive personality and it's hard to control.

My first thought is... why would you post this in someone else's journal?  Why not ask me on the thread dedicated to having me answer your questions?

Presuming that you ran through all of the first six stages of LTUv6 before you started using v7, I ask you: have things continued to be good and getting better on LTUv6 so far? 

UH is not about learning, it's about healing.  It might help you solve some blockage to learning, but there's no guarantee.  Everyone has their own reasons for having learning issues.

It looks to me like you may be seeking either some excuse to stop using LTU or you're chasing after newer and shiner.  Neither of which is a valid reason to stop using LTUv6.

If I were in your shoes, I would stick with what is making my life better right now.
