Bengal's Man Journal

[Shannon]

Haha - love the name - reminds me of the good ol' Man Show.

So here I am committing to chronicling my full transformation into the Alpha Male / Ladies man. I entered the pickup community in 2005 and left sometime in 2007, though I still continued to do "pickup". Needless to say I've totally moved away from PU, and gone the path of the ladies man instead. Which is why I think we are all here, to make it so we can live our lives and beautiful women are an easy by-product of said life. Of course it all comes down to self-image, esteem and beliefs - the hardest part to transform, but once they are things come easily.

Consider the wording on this. It sounds a bit dismissive of the value of women, beautiful women especially. If you meant it that way, do reconsider! There is not much that can equal the value of a good woman. If not, there's a way you can succeed even more as a ladies man: making sure that what you say can't be mistaken for a negative comment.

I had the urge to combine Alpha Male 2010 with Ultra Success, ASC, or ending self-sabotage, but from what I read it seems like AM takes care of most everything, so I figure simple is better. Especially since I've done so much work and to be honest sometimes less really is more. This goes out to some of you who are hitting it so hard that you don't even know what' real for you anymore. I offer that you take a step back and keep it simple...even if the "physical" results don't show as quickly, the internal changes will be more profound.

I am so glad to see you taking this point of view. I have been trying to get it understood that more focus results in better results, but our society has pounded us with the "Everything NOW!" mindset. Subliminals work, but they work best with more focus, and they are worth the wait.

[...]

So I'm here to end the cycle of bad beliefs once and for all, the cycle of poor self image, about myself and beautiful women, etc, etc. and completely create a life of ease, fun, effortlessness with women, money, creativity, health and contentment. I'm more than halfway there, just a little ways to go. From what I've read here so far, I reckon for many of you it is closer than you think, ah how the thinking can just get in the way time and time again...

Indeed. As can too much self awareness, and not enough understanding of one's subject of interest. To truly succeed with women, you must understand women.

I've got DYD and the How to Become An Alpha Male book Shannon recommended in the Alpha Male 2010 instruction set, and I will comment on those as well. I'm almost done with the Alpha Male book, and will comment on that very soon.

Comments on those aren't necessary, in case you're just feeling obigated. I'm not suggesting them to endorse pickup, but rather to explain certain things that are used in the script of the alpha male set so that every man can benefit from it. Some, like me when I was younger, would not understand some of the script fully without that because they haven't ever had a man to guide them. It works without, to be sure, but the better you understand certain useful concepts, the better it will work.

I also do mirror affirmations, written affirmations, and energy work on my own in combo with the subs. I also am working with a "ladies man" teacher, but am not at liberty to say who, and he certainly isn't a PUA and never was a part of that community, but a true ladies man. I'm not paying for it, but have worked out a barter with him. Have to be fair and describe all I'm doing if this is to be an accurate journal of working with AM 2010, and beyond if I use more subliminals.

Doing affirmations is not recommended with subliminals because there exists the potential for script conflict. You don't know what's in the script of the alpha male set, and unless you're very skilled at scriptwriting, you also run the risk of accidental self harm. It will also affect how the alpha set works for you, and its as likely to enhance as to detract if you don't have properly written affirmations, or they conflict.

So yes I'm attacking it from all angles, but I do it intuitively and don't kill myself trying to cram everything in at once (otherwise my statement above wouldn't make sense about keeping it simple). Of course I know I need to do the subs everyday, but some days are at night only, and some days all day all night, but I'm not too worried about always trying to be listening to the subliminals. Can't forget about life and living here and now. So at times it will be difficult to discern what technique is affecting what belief change, probably, but I will do my best to decipher it all.

I design my subs to be used while you sleep because that's when busy people have time to use them. It's possible to use them more, but I am coming to believe that using them for 8 to 12 hours a day is probably the best amount of time per day for use of subliminals, as this allows the mind to rest and assimilate.

I'm looking forward to writing here for sure. I remember trying to do pickup journals and they were just no fun. Too many BS details and interaction breakdowns, and just felt like math more than an art. This I can feel will be much more fun. I found this place because of Cortez (TML) and mucho props to him for letting me know of Shannon and his work.

Pickup doesn't seem like the best way to go to me. Too much focus on shallowness and sex, and not enough appreciation for the woman as a human being. It's going to backfire in the long run, I think, and make women all that much harder to deal with for men, because women will have to protect themselves against more and more PUA stuff. At least, the ones who have emotions. I think it just leads to more battle of the sexes crap, really, as women start feeling used for sex because all these guys are just manipulating them into bed and walking. Same old stuff, different way of doing it, I guess.

I have been using AM Set 1 for about 15 days so far. Nuff said, next entry will be learnings and observations, homies.

Looking forward to it.
