7:00 AM Tried waking up at 5, didn't manage to do so and I feel extremely disappointed. We try again another day.

You won't understand and appreciate how great this system is unless you've lived in it for years.

Came across this small channel that reignited my fire for waking up early again. This challenge has been as hard as I anticipated really, just not in the ways I expected. The most difficult thing by far has been getting to bed early; if I don't get my 7.5-8 hours of sleep at least, I function at 70% the next day. Also not having much to do in the mornings has been the absolute killer of this. I have to go out for a run as soon as I wake up for this to work. I've kinda been avoiding doing it cause I hate having to start running again lol, but once I've gotten used to it then I love it. Youtube has been the largest distraction at nights when I should be in bed, I need to be more strict on just going to sleep around 21:30. Quitting caffeine alongside this challenge has also been very tough. Lost all motivation really in that phase, but I'm like 18 days in and feel like I'm getting some of that motivation I had in the beginning back. I'm forgiving myself that I've not done better, but will keep pushing for this. Developing a night routine has really worked well, I drink night-time Pukka tea and take a magnesium supplement, I'm dead tired after I finish the tea but force myself often to stay awake, I'll work on it. Let's do this!

8:00 AM

9:00 AM In the upcoming week, I'll start waking up at 6 more often to work my way to 5. I'm thinking of going on runs since no gym near me opens up until 6.

I've been losing the motivation to wake up at 5 slowly because I don't really have anything to do so early in the morning. I really need to figure something out like going for a run or maybe read. It will be necessary to find something before the momentum is lost. I've also been going to bed way too late; really need to be in there before 9:30 for this to work, been hitting the snooze button as well every morning due to not getting enough sleep. Also not eating anything before dinner is important. Overate last night and slept terribly, but it was a cheat day of sorts so it's not an occurring problem.

8:00 AM

8:00 AM I woke up at 6:00 and hit the snooze, woke up at 8, and went out of bed. Went to bed around 23:00, got stuck in watching some Bob Lazar body language video, lol. Felt super tired yesterday which felt like a caffeine withdrawal. It's been the only noticeable day that I've felt tired. But it could've also been a meal crash, I doubt it because it was after eggs and protein bread. It's currently day 12 and being without cacao is certainly making this less enjoyable. I just got an email back from the cacao manufacturer and it informed me that there's 300mg caffeine in 100g of powder. Which ain't too bad. I'll definitely go back to it (not daily) once I've gone through the full reset. Otherwise, I definitely notice how much more dispersed my energy levels have become. The only thing I've been drinking is caffeine-free tea.

I've come to find that if the person you're trying to convince respects you, they will try to understand it. It also depends on your skill of explaining the model and teaching it without being pushy.

Being raised in an orange/green society. I probably left blue around the age of 8. Looking up to people in stage orange helped pull me out of there.

I wouldn't support that guy. Saw a live stream with him a couple of months ago and he was incredibly narcissistic and was attacking some great lucid dreaming YouTubers. Check out Stephen LaBerge's books or Andrew Holecek's dream yoga.

7:00 AM

Time for a trip. I'll be taking one potent edible in the 85-100mg range alongside 50mg of Ketamine. Last time I mixed Ket and edibles I was pleasantly surprised at how good of a consciousness combo it was. I really got to the depths of reality and had an amazingly dissolvent ego death. I haven't been focusing on "spiritual work" at all the last month or two. Just been enjoying reality for what it is and all the excitements it has to offer, ways to create money and start businesses. I've been listening to a lot of Aubrey Marcus which I find has a nice balance on work-life and spiritual practices. I still haven't really found some one purpose I could see myself doing and mastering. It scattered all across the board with many semi interests. So in short, I have no idea what I want out of this trip. I'll set no intentions and just see where the stream takes me.

I can't believe I didn't watch out for this. I've been drinking cacao powder daily since quitting caffeine, and only just now noticed that it contains caffeine. It's supposed to be in the minimum range though, around 49mg/per cup. I find that to be too much, but it has likely made cutting it out a lot easier than cold turkey. I just sent an email to the brand I buy from and asked them about the caffeine content. I'm awaiting their answer to decide whether I'll continue to drink it. I have no problem drinking it even if it has a little caffeine, but only once I've really flushed my system of it and gone through a full reset, at least 1-2 months. I don't want to lose the health benefits of cacao due to a little caffeine.

8:30 AM Tonight will probably be a trip night so I will likely wake up later tomorrow. I was committed to having reached permanent 5:00 AM by now but it's been a little this busy week so I'll cut myself some slack. I'll be aiming for 5 this week. Maybe it's a mistake being so hellbent on 5:00 AM but I just wanted to give it a try, I enjoy the stillness of the night at that time and will continue to push for it even though it may take a little longer than anticipated. Quitting caffeine has been so surprisingly easy. No withdrawals and I feel more constant energy throughout the day, this marks day 9 and I doubt it has yet to hit me in some negative way.

Amazing! This takes real systematic planning and preparation.

I find this to be too much of tier 1 thinking. I don't choose spirituality because it's "better" than some other path. I just love it, that's why we all do it, love transcends "better". I don't consider myself better than someone who would vote for Trump when I wouldn't, It's just that I've been to a path which led me to realize higher love and managed to steer clear of falling into the devil's lap. That doesn't mean I'm better than anyone, the same goes for choices I make in my life. Only one thing lies behind ethics and that's love. Love is the driving force of all you do and all you don't do. Everything is perfect, all suffering, all devilry, it's absolute perfection. God loves everything equally because it's all him. You judge suffering from a human perspective, but from realities perspective, it has to happen in order for reality to exist. The relative is not separate from the absolute, it's the illusion that makes it appear to be so. There was no separation, it was always ONE.

I'd take wisdom over intelligence any day of the week. Don't stress about this, there are many ways in which you can keep the brain healthy, like omega fatty acids, blueberries, avocadoes, exercise, lions mane mushroom, etc. And I wouldn't mix mind with brain. The brain is that which makes you function in the body and aids your survival. The mind is that which you use to create reality around you and creates the you that worries about things like these. Mind over matter.

6:00 AM Kinda stayed in bed after waking up, was half asleep till 8:00. It was really difficult to wake up due to my body being extremely sore, since I've just started working out again and I went to bed a little late. I feel like a dead corpse but in a good kind of way. I'm feeling fantastic after quitting caffeine. I haven't noticed any withdrawal symptoms other than having a short temper 2 days ago. After that, it's been fine and I feel like my heart is finally beating normally. I just feel more natural and stable. I could see myself never drinking caffeine again, yet there's no reason to make such a large statement, It would only make this harder. Was expecting this to be way tougher.

@RedLine The universe is evolving to its highest potential expression of love. The lower you are on the spiral, the less love and more fear you have. So in a sense, one could say orange is worse than green relative to where reality is headed. Reality wants to know itself, that's why you created it, it wants to love as much as possible. But if you put all evolution aside, then of course no stage is better than other. It just depends on what lens you're looking through.

@charlie cho It depends on what truth you seek. Science is good for relative truths, but will never manage to quantify absolute truth. This is something the scientific community has a hard time accepting because they rely on "evidence". If you seek absolute truth, the only evidence will be your own direct experience and unfortunately, you'll sound insane to others. What are the questions you wish to find the answers to?

Choosing truth over academic success would be one, even if that means going against 98% of the science community. And curiosity would certainly be a driving force in this field.
