I will admit I literally have no real interest in writing journals anymore which is why I haven't even really been on here. Don't really read people's journals on here except maybe Superman's but that is because he ran UMSv1 for so long that I was interested in seeing how his V2 run would go. I probably on get on here to read Shannon's journal mostly or the discussion journal that is I even get on. Its funny as I have gotten through the trauma I've found myself coming on here less and less. However I have been thinking for a long time now that I maybe need to still talk about things I could maybe give some insight that might help Shannon or might help someone else along the way. So despite me really not wanting to do this I will though this might only be for like a month because I have already been running UMSv2 since it came out and once Stage 4 comes out I will probably run that for a month.
I do want to start off saying I agree with Shannon's decision to make this multi stage because I found out I am one of those people that gets subconscious boredom at about the 3 week mark. So given that its good this was multi stage instead of single stage. I doubt this would have kept my interest for so long if it were just single stage. As for some results, I ended up getting a new job that I might have mentioned before and passed my test on the first time so that I wasn't in training status anymore. I decided to work on moonlight shift since it pays the most at about 31.50 USD per hour. I did end up starting that second bachelors degree in computer science. the end of this month will be the last of my first term. Wasn't able to work fast enough to finish the degree in the first term but I did make enough progress that now I should only have about 17 classes left or so to finish the degree. I will see if I can finish during the second term.
Another financial thing that helped out was that I wasn't getting my monthly housing allowance from the military as part of my education benefits. Eventually I contacted the VA department at the school regarding this just recently and they pointed me in the right direction. So I should actually be getting back pay as well for all this. So I will actually probably sometime this month get 4,500 USD to 5,000 USD in a lump sum. This is important for another reason. I recently decided I will probably be getting a very large multi family house or apartment complex in either Latin America or the Philippines (as I was plan before). In order to do this instead of trying to get a rent to own agreement I decided I will just go the old route of trying to get a home loan. In order to do that I have decided to clear up something on my credit so my credit score will be really high again. Thanks to getting this lump sum this will be just what I needed to clear up the major 2 things (possibly clear up a 3rd thing as well) that are affecting my credit rating. Once those things are done and I get a new high paying programming job I should be able to save up and get a preapproved home loan with no issue.
This all worked out in the end as I'm sure had I resolved this monthly payment issue earlier I would have not even saved any of that money. I would have just used it up as I wasn't even thinking about clearing up my credit till like 3 weeks ago. I probably would have stupidly used it on trying to day trade or something. That is another thing that has changed. Before i would have thought about running this sub to make it big in the markets but that has changed at least for now. For now I'm just concentrating on my career with the second degree (and eventually masters degree from a top tier online program like Stanford or Georgia tech) and doing things like clearing up my credit. Essentially I want to focus first on things that will definitely and "predictably" give me good returns on my investment. Once I have those things then i can concentrate on things that might be more risky or more "hit or miss" when it comes to returns on what I might invest. So i might trade options when I have some downtime between this bachelors degree and when I start the masters degree. I want more sure fire ways to make income first then work on things that might be more risky.
Now the reason why Latin America is on my list now is because quite frankly my love life (long distance) has been booming. Have multiple women who are completely fine with sharing me, etc. Many of them from either Venezuela or Colombia. Still have many Asian women as well including the one chick I might have showed in one of my previous threads on the old forum. So doing quite well in that area and quite frankly at the same time I know what non neediness means now and no giving a shit. I literally say what I want to with all these chicks I interact with and call them out on their bullshit when appropriate. I don't even give a crap if I lose the girl or not. If she can't take the truth or take any ounce of responsibility I am willing to drop her out of my life because quite frankly she is probably not someone I would want to be in a relationship with anyway and there are like a billion other women on this planet I can get with anyway.
My whole mentality has changed around things as well. I just don't give a shit about what people think. I think once I got the realization that at the end of the day reality is the only thing that matters in the end and if your opinion doesn't line up with reality why the fuck would I care about your opinion? People who's opinions are warped on things or totally out of alignment with how things really are end up making bad decisions based on bad data or emotions. Why would I care about the opinion of such people? In the end such people don't get anywhere in life. Reality has a nasty way of coming back to slap people to the ground who don't want to learn the lessons that it is trying to teach them. I came to the conclusion i'm here to enforce my emotions, ideology, etc on to reality. I am hear to learn from reality, learn the way it works, and its principles then once I know those things I can use them to my advantage to get to where I want to go. Simple as that... unfortunately the majority of people want to do the complete opposite instead usually with bad results. The only reason I would listen to someone's opinion now is if they are talking from a place of reason and logic on important issues (obviously is its less important stuff that requirement won't matter as much).
I think thats about an overview of everything so far. In Stage one it just felt like clearing, in stage 2 it felt like I was having some kind of spiritual awakening in a way. As if all the principles that were the foundation of my life so far were being shifted. In stage 3 its felt more like a take action now type stage hence the why I believe the impulse to clear up my credit and get the bank loan eventually. I'm sure there have been some other things I've missed but this is the general overview so far. As for the future I'm not totally sure yet. I'm thinking I might either run E5 to get some more deep clearing totally done with so that all the other subs will run better overall or I might run the new DMSI possibly despite already having that taken care of. Might be able to get some sex while I'm still hear before I head off to latin America (most likely at this point) or the philippines to meet up with the chicks I have in mind. I should mention threesomes are already on the table with this group of women so works for me.
I do want to tell Shannon I do from the bottom of my heart appreciate what he has done with trying to get to 6G. I feel like with the the introduction of the FRM 5.0 and 5.75.7 that was the major turning point for me where I was seeing major changes. Kind of makes me wish I had waiting to suggest MLS until 5.75.7 and FRM was done but alas I think I can either run a clearing sub for a few months to clear out things completely then make MLS work better or wait until MLS 6G is out. Either way its good to finally seem like I have a handle on life due to this upgrade in tech and I have changed a lot. I know longer run from pain or hardship I am willing to face it down and overcome it if it means I become stronger as a person in the end. That does remind me as well of how I finally got over the subconscious fear of death. It was sometime during Stage 3 and I was listening then its as if a certain part of my subconscious that was executing revealed something to me.
What was shown to me was quite interesting. The flashing in my mind of a large country side of rolling hills all filled with tombstones and graves. The graves marked with my name. The point being of it saying to me "Why are you afraid of death? You have already faced it and overcome it thousands of times before. Every time you have "killed" something within you that you know you needed to change in order to move forward or to better your life you have faced death, died and overcome it to become even stronger. There is no reason to fear it". Of course as Shannon has said death isn't really permanent, it is a change of state and nothing else. I am inclined to believe but even if you take the subconscious interpretation if change = death... then you have already overcome it before then why be afraid of it still? Once that realization hit me I finally realized that I had overcome so much and I literally cried with the idea that "I can overcome anything now and I will overcome it". Since that time a fire, a strong will has been inside of me just burning. Wishing to overcome the next challenge. I don't hide from it... I want to face it and overcome it. Genghis khan was wrong in his supposed idea of what is the greatest feeling in the world. No, the greatest feeling in the world is to overcome and in particular to overcome aspects of yourself. I see Change as no enemy now but an ally. I want to move with it, not against it and to learn from it. Change is the thing that makes this world in "some way" perfect already. The thrill of moving with Change and learning from it makes it all the worth wild for me.
Anyway, that is about it for now. Will stay on probably stage 4 for a month then will see where I move on to after that.
