Do you find that Maverick helps you to process information more efficiently/effectively? I ask because UMSv2 has done that for me over time, but I've noticed that it had been increased even more this week. That just so happens to coincide with my decision to switch to Maverick after this UMSv2 cycle ends and I wonder if I'm experiencing TID.
An example of what I'm talking about is that I was scratching down notes in a meeting earlier today for a project that I've felt horribly disconnected from in the past. My notes were extremely thorough and I was actually able to discuss a topic that falls outside my field of expertise in a follow up meeting with ease (based on my memory alone). I just got off of that call and thought, "Wow!"
If this is TID, man oh man, I can't wait to run this thing. This isn't the only example of this happening but it's the most recent.
Hey Brother, sorry for the late reply, been hectic in this side of the world as of late. Maverick makes you more aware of everything. You're going to get to a point early on in use where it almost feels overwhelming because your sensory awareness has been dialed up to 11 (spinal tap reference for anyone that doesn't get it).
This is because you are more present at all times, and that's not a state that most of us are actually used to. We're generally dumbed down these days with information overload - work emails, business calls, presentations, tv shows, free-flowing alcohol. Lots of things that induce escapism within us, plus the usual overload of thoughts take us out from living in the moment. The more you use Maverick, the more it puts you into that present state. At times it even felt like I was on speed or something.
This also forces you to live outside of your head, where your ego isn't running at 100 different directions all the time and you become almost instinctual in a way. And I think this is a good segue for me to explain why you can't control the direction you're going with Maverick. I've come to realize what resistance really is in more plain skate words. It's your fucking ego being a backseat driver and trying to take control of the wheel while you're driving on a track at 200MPH. In essence, it's a fucking disaster and you will crash into a wall, bursting into a fiery crash.
This is what most users face when it comes to running a sub and where the fear comes into play and why everything gets fucked up.
The thing with Maverick is, while it's a gentler sub in some ways, make no mistake about it, Maverick will slap the shit out of you if you try to step out on it. And it slaps like Mike Tyson.
What you need to do is stay in the present, shut the chatter out, and focus on your daily grind and when you suddenly go on auto-pilot and either say that brilliant thing or discover that one thing about yourself you didn't even know you could do, suddenly, everything is amazing.
Because you're no longer fighting against the driver of the car.
And this is for anyone who is reading this journal and wants to get more out of your sub use, and more to the point, anyone who actually knows how to drive. Let me drop a wonderful phenomenon for everyone to look-up. The driving to your destination and not remembering how you got there.
It's something that has been studied a lot in psychology and every driver has experienced it at least once if not more. Your brain goes on autopilot and takes you home and your mind or ego is left to day dream on that car ride. It's almost like a state of flow that you enter in those cases where your conscious mind is shut down completely as far as recognition is concerned.
That's kind of what I mean. Step into the moment and you realize all you have is that moment. Enjoy that moment and let the sub do it's re-wiring slowly. Shut the chatter out and next thing you know, shit just starts to happen in all the right ways and you can't explain why. But the results speak for themselves.
Also, keep a journal. Online for what you do want to share, but knowing how Maverick works, most of you won't want to write on a forum because another factor of Maverick is how private it makes you, primarily because you don't need to prove anything to anyone. However, you absolutely should keep a journal offline for yourself, because you will have glimpses of absolute genius along with realizations that will continue to level you up. Make it a ritual by buying a nice journal and pen that you will enjoy using for this purpose.
And that should cover most of it for today. Like I said, take the backseat driver out of the equation as much as possible. Let me know how the ride goes for those of you that are running Maverick and feel free to give me a shout with any questions. I will probably be slow to answer, but, I will answer.
Peace Mavericks!
