@mat422 Thanks. You too!
I'm working on a big post but in the meantime I wanted to log a few things.
I've been having vivid dreams every single night on Stage 6 thus far. Haven't written them down but I do recall conflict in each one, and I wasn't necessarily on the winning end.
Stage 6 has humbled me. I was feeling quite powerful at the end of Stage 5 and I'm feeling vulnerable again during this first week of Stage 6. Confidence and assertiveness have gone down, along with my own perceived attractiveness and the 'alphaness' of my interactions with women. I've also felt some anticipatory anxiety about going to work and, when I'm there, dealing with male customers that have dominant/abrasive personalities.
Now I'm not surprised that stuff is coming up in the first 2 weeks of a new stage, it just sucks to take a few steps back. If it's anything like last time however, I'll feel like a boss by the end of the stage and beyond.

Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.
