Got an AI agent to calculate how many hours I've spent doing AoA stuff in the past 18 mo (since my first time) and all in all that's ~300 hours! This is just the official events like course calls, VIEW calls and such. Self work time not included.
An entrepreneur isn't even in the game until his guts are boiling. This is what Ben Horowitz says. I tend to agree. There's no escape from it. So learning to enjoy it fully and not resisting one bit becomes the key.
I did/do a similar thing and it feels like riding a dragon. Almost literally. It is power when not resisted.
Do not ignore your anxieties.
Instead, look so deeply into the energy they are constructed from that it reveals itself to be a luminous empty bliss that is formed of the same fundamental stuff as awe, wonder and excitement.
The bigger the anxiety the bigger the pay off.
So, if you want to get super high, look deeply into the eyes of your fear of death.
The hard thing about dethroning the superego is what do I put there instead. What or whose voice do I follow? And that's not a good question it seems. It's still in the realm of topdog/bottomdog. What's better is to live a life of experiments and iterate. Feels more spacious.

Most people go years living lives of quiet desperation, constantly running from what they most fear.
In reality, going to heart of what you most fear is the shortest route to a life of boldness and freedom.

Extracting all of my email, journals & ai chats and creating a clear timeline of my life is so fun and interesting. I'll dig deep into it with analyzing patterns and so on.
Wonder what'll come out of it. Can't be not interesting.

Good Morning. I bring to you: all of the timestamps where Joe Hudson (elite executive coach) coaches people to try an anger release. I made it as a resource for myself and someone that asked me about anger recently. Since I'm forbidden from giving knowledge I've learned from the courses, I gave them this compilation of public content instead ;)

My hope is that you watch this and can see that people find clarity, easy, or even love, as they allow their anger. And in turn, that inspires some movement in you. Have a nice Sunday.
PS i kept interpretation to a minimum and clearly indicated. preferred quotes over GPT's interpretation.

I don't want to learn your Quadruple Dyadic Techno-Shamanistic North Chinese Dharma Technique Community Method Program™️ - I just want(ed) my daddy to love me like I needed bro. That would've solved everything. Why.. WHY???

“When we start to feel anxious or depressed, instead of asking, ‘What do I need to get to be happy?’ the question becomes, ‘What am I doing to disturb the inner peace that I already have?’”

I've found one of the most core and active schemas in my unconscious mind. Once I'm free from it, everything will be great. Now trying to understand how. Will talk to people I trust & experiment. Facing the dragon.
I realized a date or two ago that the level of self doubt I have just doesn't make sense. It's just an old habit. Dropped it. Such a relief.
The more I isolate, the harder life is. The more I'm in connection, in relationships & groups, the better life gets.
