Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Nox]

Renaissance Man is just another word to define the same thing, Alpha. What is happening is that you don't understand each other because you use different word but you mean the same thing.

And then you disagree because you feel more connected to another word.
Even the word alpha wouldn't need to exist, just man would be enough. But people invented the word just to feel a little above the others.

But anyway -- honestly, I'm perfectly happy with the way AM6 turned out. If anything, AM7 should be the same, just stronger. If we're making radical changes, however, I think we should stop focusing on becoming "alphas," and becoming "Renaissance Men." Imagine how the world would be today if we stopped dedicating our lives to getting laid, fighting with each other over race and crap and instead focused on developing our talents and applying them to the world in a useful way. The money, the women, and the success would follow naturally.

You are defining the AM program but you want to add the name renaissance man above.
Shannon use the word transcendent Alpha, it seems alpha wasn't enough yet again.

Uh, no. I would have to disagree completely. All words have valid, different meanings. When I finished AM6, I felt I was (at least on the path to becoming) a transcendent alpha. And what that meant was, when I'd go out with my friends and we'd inevitably encounter women, they'd immediately start jockeying for status. Stuff like ribbing on each other in nasty ways to the point that you could tell they were angry with each other but couldn't show it -- as being emotional would make them "beta." Meanwhile, I was looking around silently thinking, "there's absolutely no way I'm getting involved with this" and completely detached.

Ironically, I ended up with the woman in the group I found the most attractive, and even more interesting, something happened that NEVER occurred before AM6 -- my interaction with her, and yes, leading up to intimacy, was so natural and without tension. Before, it always felt like a game with a goal. This time, it felt like the mutual exchange of feminine and masculine energy. Relaxed and at ease.

In essence, I "transcended" the social game. And I'm not looking down on my friends or thinking I'm "better." In the earlier stages of AM6, I did have a problem with arrogance, but the ego balancing and humility aspects began to manifest around stage 5. The only thing I want to master is myself and my life. And the hermetic axiom, "as above, so below" is slowly changing my day to day reality.

What AM6 DIDN'T do however, was push me to CONSCIOUSLY create. I'm no Leonardo Da Vinci, considered the epitome of the "renaissance man." I haven't dedicated myself to an art or craft -- like Shannon has with the subliminal tech -- or to study humanity at large. However, that's not AM6 or Shannon's responsibility. AM6 did exactly what it was supposed to do -- get rid of the mental garbage so that I COULD work toward become a renaissance man. I'm just saying... would be nice if there was a sub particularly for that.

That being said, I've read the BASE 5G page multiple times and have almost bought it on a whim just because I think it's exactly what aspiring renaissance men want to become. If Ultimate Writer is a multi-stage with half the modules BASE5G has... I'm just gonna have to pull the trigger and deal with the consequences later.

I agree with you completely on your end goals. I'm most likely going to be doing MLS here in a few weeks, simply because it seems like the "best" way to establish a foundation for the self that I want. After that I'll end up doing AM and BASE, but might run a few subs in between that as its my understanding that base tends to soften and polish what some of the other subs help establish.

I'd also drop about everything and do a similiar-to-BASE writing subliminal.
