Subliminal Talk

Talking to me or to Lucius?

I find it strange you consider this a derailment. I was making reference to the Dr Jordan Peterson's interview Cataleya posted. If you watched the interview and still thought my comment was a derailment, then my apologies.

Had a dream about my hairdresser from 2.5/3.0.1/3.1 days.

In it I was going to a sales meeting, but I had to go through her hair salon first. We made EC and I nodded at her and went past. She was cutting some other young guys' hair.

How symbolic of a dream! I wonder if it means I have to deal with something about her till I can get good at sales. Very fascinating.

Not sure if this is TID or just the mone I was wearing today but today in sales I met 2 different people who just chatted me up like crazy. I tried turning my body to signal I was leaving, I tried decreasing my EC, etc, nothing worked. I also felt bad about having to leave but eventually it was getting to be too much wasted time and I had to physically leave as they were still talking to me. They just couldn't take a hint. I said to the one guy: "Well, I'd love to talk with you more but I really have to get back to work. I have to earn a living so yeah." That didn't change anything, he just kept talking.

I'd recommend his book, Sarge. 12 rules for Life. Reading it can occasionally feel like you're being force fed cod liver oil by the collective unconscious, but it is full of rock solid principles - some of which I very much believe you cannot go wrong with.

I have it on audible.

Speaking of books, I have a new method of reading.
Basically, if I don't have an emotional connection to info I'm reading, I will disregard it entirely. Maybe I'll try it out once or twice but I just believe my emotions/intuition is far more superior to my thinking mind.

I was having a shitty time in sales yesterday but today I did much better and that's because I relaxed, stopped trying to do what I thought was right, and did what FELT right. So much more productive.

Some weird things happening lately tho. I may have seen 5-7 black cats cross my path today. If we believe the old superstition that is a BAD omen. One black cat crossing your path is supposed to be bad luck for like 7 years, but 7 cats? I can't even imagine.

I don't believe in that emotionally, but mentally I kinda worry about it.

Anyhow, good stuff in sales today and some good reactions with women. Like seriously. I'm very excited for 3.2 if what I've been experiencing is TID.

Today, for example, I was on the phone and a cute girl walks past with her dog. I say "hey." in the most casual way, and she says "hey" back to me but it sounded so sultry. Grrrr!

And then I was flirting with girls I was talking to on the phone for business. Prolly shouldn't do that...

So lately in sales I've come to a few epiphanies that I'm translating into pick up and life in general.

Mostly, I've noticed that taking advice that I don't have any emotional connection to never turns out well.

In sales I tried taking some advice from a big name (read a few of his books, tried things out. Listened to his podcasts, etc) but things never turned out well.

My sales results plummeted and I was pissing people off.

Over the course of many months and much frustration I finally realized that I didn't have any emotional connection to his advice. It was just information to me and it made no sense. It was like being given a puzzle piece and then you had to figure out which puzzle it fit in. And it could be ANY puzzle, anywhere in the world, but you didn't have any puzzles in front of you.

F*ck that.

So from now on I'm only trying out techniques and advice that sparks a bit of emotion in me. Some kind of emotion that says "You know what? Maybe that's true." and then I'll try it out.

But if I hear something and I can't connect anything internally to the advice, I'm skipping it. This goes for sales and PUA and everything in life.

Coincidentally, upon returning to my emotions/intuition, I've started to do really well in sales again.

Could it be that you are only emotionally connected as you say to those pieces of information that you understand easily?

Sometimes information that isnt written or explained well gives us the opposite to learning, we shun away from it but when its given in a way we understand, a way we can connect to then we fall for it.

It may simply be that the info you came across was not the best for you and the same information from another teacher would be better?

I remember 10years ago saturating my mind with as much information from self help gurus as I could find and I realised that some resonated with me more than others. Some gurus I could see through more easily than others, in that they were simply selling & marketing to me, the cash pot.

Some years later I realised they were all regurgitating the same information and that same information was never actually fact checked but always touted. They saw something that sold and remarketed it because it was the snake oil we all sought.

Now as im wiser I realise that there are only a few principles that we need to obtain success in any field....

1) Change our minds (thus we are here using these subs)

2) Obtain the correct information or education.

3) Take daily consistent action, whether for 1minute or 5hours, but start somewhere and make it daily and consistent as that is the real key to success.

What I found was that #3 is the hardest without #1 helping us.... so therefore autosuggestion or as we all here are doing, using and helping Shannon to create the subs that will work for our respective endeavours.

hope that helps.

100% correct. Glad you figured this out too.

Guys, seriously, keep the irrelevant stuff out of my journal.

EDIT: how do I make my journal private so no one can comment? Is that a feature yet?

Anyone ever see "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"?

I saw it the other day. Loved it. I want my life to be like that.

Also, it got me into The Beatles.

My dad was a big Beatles fan, but since he was such an abusive man I pretty much hated everything about him and everything he liked, but I'm definitely not seeing things so black and white anymore. Despite him being bad in a lot of ways, there was definitely good in him.

Loving TID. Loving Life.

Wow. Never thought I'd say that.
