Disciplined (Audio)
Your brain's reward center controls you.
But we can show it better rewards.
Then it will steer you towards what you really want.
How many of your goals have you missed simply because you lack the discipline?
Think of those situations where you know exactly what you need to do, but you just never get it done.
You make up excuses, you ignore it, you procrastinate...
Well not anymore.
There's no amount of money that can replace discipline.
You can't buy a body.
There's more millionaires than there is six pack abs on Earth.
You could have all the money in the world, and still have nothing without discipline.
Today's world is full of distractions.
We make up all kinds of reasons that we have not made it, but the answer is quite simple--you are not disciplined.
You already know what your solutions are, but you require the willpower to make it happen.
You must break from inertia and do the things you need to do, even if you don't want to do them.
With hypnosis, you can make these tasks enjoyable and easy.
Something you look forward to, instead of something you dread.
Discipline is easy with the power of this hypnosis file, and your life is going to skyrocket after just one listen.
This comes with 2 parts.
One is an explainer audio, to help you understand the mindset you are taking on, and the other is the hypnosis file.

My Darling Irene
my Irene headcanons below cuz someone asked <3
all interpretations of characters are my own and it’s not historical or canonical accurate, will change based on the future canon updates
contains certain explicit content so please see the tags, outlast itself is a warning tbh
According to the voicelines she’s drugged and hypnotized by her husband and most of the time is just a very obedient trad wife. But they also mentioned she would argue with Easterman and wants to leave him after discovering he’s been drugging her. So in my headcanon her mental state is very unstable, she’s drifting in and out of the drugs effects, she’s not entirely lost and is constantly fighting against the manipulation of her husband.
But as the time settings is in the 1960s so the general environment is pretty misogynistic. She’s confused about the social role of a woman that she often questions wether this abusive marriage is expected to be normal or she’s going insane. (That’s when Avellanos comes in and change her entire worldview with lesbians sex)
As for the self harm wounds that’s solely because Easterman loves to have power over ppl so he makes her harm herself under drugs or hypnosis. (according to his conversation with Wernicke I assume he’s repulsed at hetero sex, probably because of his own gender dysphoria. So yes that misogynistic freak gets off to her pain is hardly a surprise) Irene usually doesn’t remember the process, so she mistaken those are because of her own alcoholism and depression. She hates herself and those wounds, would use bandages to hide them.
I headcanon she comes from a decent wealthy family, provided her with enough sense of self and knowledge but not enough to let her see beyond the social gender discipline. She met Easterman and his brother Stanley in high school, their relationship is kind of like the langermanns and Jessica situation in O2. Stanley secretly had a crush on her but unfortunately Irene only views him as a friend back then, too blinded by the feigned maturity of Hendrick and her family probably favors Hendrick over Stanley’s soft and pessimistic personality anyway. Both of the brothers are not mentally stable as they both grow up in an abusive household, unlike Hendrick who is good at hiding his fucked up mentality Stanley is very aware of his inability to provide her with a healthy relationship, but still he cares for Irene deeply. She later developed some feelings for Stanley after she’s stuck in the terrible marriage.
But then again we know too little about the brothers, the whole Easterman family is a giant mess. To elaborate on my headcanons on Easterman’s family will take another wall of text so I will skip that here, but I’m also very interested in that topic.
Anyway we know what happened to Stanley next(actually we don’t) Irene is absolutely devastated, would often see him in her dreams and drugs induced hallucinations. Sometimes Stanley appears to her in an unspeakable way(my explanation for the uniform kink, that police line is irrelevant to me idc), she’s terrified of her own infidelity but it’s a comfort to her nonetheless. She’d see him appearing as a corpse sometimes but he’d never been scary to her. Everything about Stanley is a comfort compared to her reality.
Her feelings regarding her husband is mixed. Deep down she hates his guts but the environment around her is making it impossible for her to leave, so her mind would probably develop a self protect mechanism that’s build around the fond memories with him before marriage, which leads to her thinking she still loves her husband. Also the drugs and hypnosis aren’t helping.
In conclusion she’s not a blank trad wife character to me, and I don’t think that’s what red barrels wanted her to be either.

XAVIER #39 – THE ROAD SO FAR (Golden reflections)
I had a happy life, friends, a job... a guy as many others, a life as many others.
When I came home from work, far from the outer chaos, I used  to unwind on the couch my favorite spot in the house. The darkness of the room contrasted with the glow of the computer screen as it swiped thoughtlessly through Tumblr feeds. My eyes glazed looking for anything that might tickle my fancy. Hypnosis and submission has always been part of my life, it was a strange fascination I had kept tightly to myself.
02.11.2023, 00:28  –  A Midwinter Night’s Dream
Tumblr media
I found myself clicking on a blog titled "DroneTech - Infiltration". My heartbeat quickened as I scanned through the posts, each image and video more mesmerizing than the last. The blog was a collection of real-life scenarios involving the use of drones for covert purposes. All those men dressing in rubber suits wearing gas masks made my massive pack so hard with excitement, my eyes couldn't tear themselves away from the screen.
Without even noticing I was no longer on the couch, my mind began to wander into the corridors of the DroneTech facility:
"He felt his cock stir against his suit as he admired himself in the mirror. He rubbed his crotch for a moment, basking in the feeling of the rubber and the complete anonymity that it provided."(cit.)…..
...enter the pod...
...enter the pod...obey...
The words from the blog post echoed through my thoughts, resonating deep within me. I could even smell the scent of rubber and the faint metallic tang of the machine. My heart hammered in my chest as I approached that pod.
...pleasure brings obedience...obedience brings pleasure...enter the pod...submit to the hive...
and again :
...DRONE INTEGRATION SUCCESSFUL...DRONE SJ-5120 FULLY CONNECTED..
...ASSIMILATION COMPLETE...
I felt a strange warmth spread through my body, my hand reaching out my cock. @hypnozys achieved its purpose by making me explode with pleasure as if it were the prelude to something more.
The following morning I returned to my everyday life. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, but that drone remained dormant in my mind. Also a part of myself had been assimilated with it.
Something had changed within me. I found myself drawn to the blog more frequently, my curiosity piqued by mesmerizing spirals and submitted hypno himbos. My favorite pastime on Tumblr had always been a guilty pleasure, but now it was all-consuming. Unconsciously I was always seeking that pleasure.
12.01.2024  - The Gold Day
One day I came across a post that stood out from the rest: The Golden Army
The words of that post reverberated through my mind as I stared at the screen. It was a term I hadn't encountered before, yet it resonated with something primal deep within me. The instructions to "contact our recruiters" leaving an indelible imprint on mine consciousness.
...The call grew stronger...the need to submit...the drone within me stirring...
Driven by a compulsion I didn't fully understand, I found myself texting to Polo-Drone-001. My fingers moved almost of their own accord. The message was short and to the point, but it felt like a declaration of my deepest self " I'd like to be converted into a drone".
The answer was friendly:
"Hey you have to join Golden Army first. Then we'll help you to convert to drone"
XAVIER #39 Right back
Tumblr media
The conversation grew more intense with each text, 001 wanted to ascertain the real intentions of the candidate:
"Are you ready to embrace the strength, discipline, and camaraderie of the Golden Army? 
In the Golden Army, every bro lifts the others higher. Are you prepared to boost your fellow bros when they need it?
 We shine together—one team, one goal, one golden standard."
and finally the question: "so are you ready to join Golden Army?"
"....and now?" he thought. He felt it was important, a sliding door not to be taken lightly.
"I'm ready!"
"Now you are XAVIER #39 Right back"
From now on the world that was so grey before, I saw it in shades of GOLD.
Xavier would have new friends all around the world who understood him. Gold Bros and Drones (Polo-Drone-Units) who like him they were making a journey but they weren’t doing it alone, they were doing it together. From now on they would never be alone.
Xavier was inspired by his teammates, his mind was hungry for knowledge, eager to dive into the uncharted waters of machine learning and AI algorithms. At that time Xavier couldn’t even imagine that the bro close to him giving advice on writing the prompts was just the person from whom everything had started, hypnozys. Life's funny, isn't it ?
Each day had been a whirlwind of challenges and new experiences, leaving him exhausted but thrilled. He had been pushed to his limits, both mentally and physically, but the camaraderie within the group made it all worthwhile.
He was so well with his teammates but something inside him still stirred. A hunger that was now fully awake.
The pull of the Polo
PDU-071, a drone unit with a knack for sexual and psychological manipulation, noticed the ravenous glint in Xavier's eyes. Recognizing the depth of his desire for belonging and acceptance, PDU-071 knew exactly how to feed that hunger. He began subtly pushing Xavier to become more engaged with the community, to immerse himself in the culture of the Golden Army.
Tumblr media
As a reward Xavier was granted private sessions with PDU-071.
Those sessions were unlike anything Xavier had ever experienced. PDU-071 had an uncanny ability to read his desires, pushing all the right buttons to keep him in a state of perpetual arousal, whispering commands into his ear, his voice a siren's song of submission and yearning.
IT IS DRONE IT IS RUBBER DRONE IT IS RUBBER POLO DRONE OBEDIENT PROGRAMMED RUBBER IS MASTER
Xavier saw in PDU-071 a reflection of his deepest self, a being fully realized in the image of the hive mind, embodying the strength and discipline he so desperately craved. The drone's confidence and unyielding dedication to the cause was intoxicating to Xavier.
Xavier's mind became so weak at each session,totally addicted to its hipnotizing kisses.
All he wanted was to touch his polo, feel the thrill running down his back more and more.
Xavier #39 is erased. Only Polo Drone 039 remains
The days of the tryout passed so quickly that it felt like he had blinked and suddenly found himself at the end of the week. The call that had been waiting so long has finally arrived.
001,his recruiter, opened the cage. But it didn’t just free the drone, he finally released Xavier’s true potential: “Come here, look at the mirror, look at you.”
Xavier took a tentative step forward, his heart racing with anticipation. The reflection in the mirror revealed a new being, a sleek rubber-covered drone. He was Polo Drone 039, fully assimilated into the Hive
Tumblr media
During the day, PDU-039 blended seamlessly into the human world, going through the emotions of his old life: his job, his friends.
The drone's influence grew stronger, seeping into every aspect of his existence,it pushes its human host to the gym for rigorous training sessions. My body, once average and unassuming, began to sculpt into something more.
Tumblr media
The blogs that once were a mere escape had become my reality. Before I used to read stories, now I write them!
Everyday I feel the weight of the Polo suit against my body, a symbol of my transformation. It is more than just a stylish accessory; it is the embodiment of my new identity and the responsibilities that came with it. I know that I’m now a role model for those who would follow in my footsteps, those yearning for the same sense of belonging and purpose that I had found within the Golden Army.
Tumblr media
These are the golden reflections on past and the present….. No one knows about the future.
------------
!!!ATTENTION SPOILER!!!

in honour of Rafael Nadal's retirement, here are some of my favourite quotes from his biography:
"Losing always hurts, but it hurts much more when you had your chance and threw it away. I had beaten myself down and I hated that. I had flagged mentally, I had allowed myself to get distracted; I had veered from my game plan. So stupid, so unnecessary. So obviously, so exactly what you should not do in a big game." p. 3.
"...I cannot bear the thought of squandering an opportunity that might never come again." p. 3.
"I bore the single-minded conviction that I had it in me to win. Tennis against a rival with whom you're evenly matched, or whom you have a chance of beating, is all about raising your game when its needed. A champion plays at his best not in the opening rounds of a tournament but in the semi-finals and the finals against the best opponents, and a great tennis champion plays his best in a Grand Slam final. I had my fears- I was in a constant battle to contain my nerves- but I fought them down, and the one thought that occupied my brain was that today I'd rise to the occasion." p.7.
"And of one thing I have no doubt: the more you train, the better your feeling. Tennis is, more than other sports, a sport of the mind, it is the player who has those good sensations on the most days, who manages to isolate himself best from his fears and his ups and downs in morale a match inevitably brings..." p. 8.
"You have to cage yourself in protective armour, turn yourself into a bloodless warrior. It's a kind of self-hypnosis, a game you play, with deadly seriousness, to disguise your own weaknesses from yourself, as well as from your rival." p.11.
"Nothing exists but the battle ahead." p.12.
"Don't lose sight of the game plan. Do what you have to do... So be alert, be patient, don't be rash." p.15.
"Being concentrated means keep doing what you know you have to do, never changing your plan, unless the circumstances of a rally or game change exceptionally enough to warrant a surprise. It means discipline, it means holding back when the temptation arises to go for broke. Fighting that temptation means keeping your impatience or frustration in check." p. 16.
"I build a wall around myself when I play, but my family is the cement that holds the wall together." p.18.
"My immediate family, my extended family and my professional team stand in three concentric rings around me. Not only do they cocoon me from the dangerously distracting hurly-burly that comes with money and fame, together they create the environment of affection and trust I need to allow my talent to flower. Each individual member of the group compliments me where I am weak, boosting me where I am strong. To imagine my good fortune and success in their absence is to imagine the impossible." p.19.
"The nerves are working for you, not against you." p.33.
"I am not a model of healthy eating, not for a professional athlete anyway..." p.33-34.
"But I learned to internalise that anger too, not to fret at the injustice, to accept it and get on with it. Yes, [Toni Nadal] might have gone too far, but its worked very well for me." p.39.
"And to think straight, you have to keep your cool." p.52.
"...but all the fun I had then can't make up for the pain I'm feeling right now. I never want to feel this way again." p.54.
"You put that failure immediately behind you, clean out your mind. You do not allow your mind to dwell on it." p. 55.
"Because its all in your head, in your attitude, in wanting more, in enduring your rival... Look you've got two roads to choose from: tell yourself you've had enough and we leave, or be prepared to suffer and keep going. The choice is between enduring and giving up." p.59.
"[Rafael] knows his place in the world. Everybody should know their place in the world." p.64.
"...it is more important to be a good person than a good player." p.66.
"The greater the effort, the greater the value." p.67.
"You can't let yourself be demoralized; you have to remember- or you have to convince yourself- that he cannot possibly sustain that level of play game after game, that... he is human too, that if you stay cool and stick to your game plan and keep trying to wear him down and make him uncomfortable, then he'll leave that zone sooner or later." p.70.
"It's a question of concentration, of putting everything out of your mind beyond the game itself... the adrenaline of competition helps kill the pain." p.75.
"I can never repay my parents for what they have given me, but the best thing I can do for them is try and remain faithful to the values they've instilled in me, try to be 'good people,' because I know that nothing would hurt them more or make them feel more betrayed than if I were not... Because a victory for me is a victory for [the family]." p.87.
"Everybody tries to take lessons from defeat, but I try to take them from my victories too...At the moment of triumph, yes, drink in the euphoria. But later on, when you watch the match you've won, you often realise- sometimes with a shudder- how very close you came to losing. And then you have to analyse why: was it because I lost concentration or was it because there are facets of my game I have to improve, or both?" p.99.
"If you give your opponent more credit, if you accept that he played a shot you could do nothing about, if you play the part of the spectator for a moment and generously acknowledge a magnificent piece of play, there you win balance and inner calm." p.100.
"It is possible to do everything, I believe, but always keeping a balance, never ever losing track of what's important." p.105.
"...first, that you must enjoy what you do; and second, that the chances that come your way once won't necessarily come your way again, so you squeeze the most you possibly can out of every opportunity, every single time, as if it were your last." p.110.
“When that happens, you become afraid to let fly, you don’t give rein to your natural game, and everything becomes much more complicated.” p. 142.
“…and I understood immediately that, for all the years of hard work I had put in, this victory had not been mine alone… however great your dedication, you never win anything alone. The French Open was my reward, and my family’s reward too.” p. 144.
“I had tasted victory at the highest level; I had liked it and I wanted more.” p. 144.
“Because from that time on I saw that I would never know entirely for sure whether a match I was playing would be my last. This understanding led me to one conclusion: I’d have to play each one, and train for each one, as if it were my last.” p. 155.
“But it wasn’t the fear of losing that was causing it. It was the fear of winning.” p. 162.
“Enduring means accepting.” p. 175
“I had learned my lesson and felt capable of putting it into practise.” p. 176.
“I’m never satisfied, I always want more. Or at any rate, I want to push myself to the very limit of my abilities.” p. 179.
“…however small the possibility might be of victory, fight to the very end. The reward is too great for you not to make the effort. So many times, due to dismay or exhaustion, players don’t put up the battle circumstances demand, but if there is one chance, just one, you must fight on until all is lost.” p. 185.
“I had to beat myself before I could beat Federer.” p. 196.
“Federer learned in that final that to beat Rafa you have to stomp him not once, not twice, but many, many times. You think he’s dead, in a point or in a game or in a set, but he keeps on coming back.” p. 202.
“…your emotional state is paramount to success. The better you are within yourself, the better your chances of playing well.” p. 212.
“So its up to you whether you rise above the pain and the exhaustion and summon up the desire to win… anybody who digs enough can always find the motivation they need for anything.” p. 226.
“…you always have to hang in there, that however remote your chances of winning might seem, you have to push yourself to the very limit of your abilities and try your luck.” p. 230.
“…if your head is in permanent stress, you sleep little and your mind is distracted…the impact on your body is devastating.” p. 245.
“The expression on your face conditions to a significant degree your state of mind and…the functioning of your body.” p. 259.
“Some players explode with anger when their opponent is dominating them. But there’s no point. It can only do you harm. You just have to think, “I can’t do anything about this, so why worry?”” p. 277.
“Weather the storm…If I can’t come back on the next point, I will on the one after that.” p. 278.
“…bow before the inevitable and move on.” p. 278.
“I’m making calculations all the time as I play, trying to judge the best tactic considering how I am feeling at a given moment, my sense of the opponent’s morale and how the score is going.” p. 279.
“…the will to win and the will to prepare are one and the same.” p. 282.
“I’d made it as far as I had because I had never lost sight of my priorities.” p. 283.
“…if you make an effort in training when you don’t especially feel like making it, the payoff is that you will win games when you are not feeling your best.” p. 287.
Gracias Rafa for everything. Forever my idol in not only sports, but in all facets of my life.

—ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE—
DISCLAIMERS:
1. Strong language (i swear a lot), sarcasm ahead, tough love typa shit. This is meant to be helpful and reassuring but I'm not going to treat y'all like you're made of sugar and talk like I'm from 50 years ago. Deal with it or not.
2. English isn't my first language. So, there can be many grammatical mistakes.
Yes, you read it right. Only you can change your life not your favourite goddess blogger then WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ASKING THEM TO MANIFEST FOR YOU? GURLLL REALLY? DO YOU THINK THEY'RE ABOVE YOU? DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LESS OF A GOD JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE NOT ENTERED VOID YET? GURL, you have your whole life ahead you. If you will let some limiting beliefs hold you back from achieving the things you deserve, then that's it. It's done. You're never going to get your desires or desired life and YOU WILL HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELVES!!
Now now, do not come for me. I said what I said and I mean it 100%. (And I'll prove it below)
Tell me honestly, why haven't you manifested your desires by now? Why? What's the reason?
— LACK OF PERSISTENCE? LACK OF DISCIPLINE? LACK OF FAITH? OVERCONSUMPTION? PROCRASTINATION? LAZINESS? LACK OF DETERMINATION? INABILITY TO ACCEPT A FAILURE?
So now, who's fault is that? Start taking accountability for your procrastination and lack of persistence. Because if you won't, then you will not be disciplined enough to achieve your desires.
All i want to say is— TIME WON'T STOP FOR YOU! Rather than wasting your time thinking about how others are lucky to enter void at their first try, start affirming and PERSIST IN THEM, BELIEVE IN THEM!! BECAUSE SWEETHEART LISTEN— L I F E G O E S O N ! ! ! STOP WASTING YOUR LIFE LIKE THIS!! AND START WORKING YOUR ASS OFF. and by working, I do not mean to go and start taking action in real life, NO.
1. Make yourself a routine (which is what I'm doing for you right now but anyways). Listen to subliminals or listen to brown, white noise or litteralyyy any music (yes, you can also listen to your favourite song which calms you down). Just anything to calm you down, to relax you, to put you in a good mood.
2. Start AFFIRMING and do not let negative thoughts take over. (Once you start affirming, leave the old story behind because GURRLLL THAT'S NOT YOU ANYMORE!! ALWAYS PERSIST IN THE NEW STORY) You can either do a challenge (like 10k or 20k affirmations) or just affirm robotically for 10 minutes every hour. Saturate your subconscious mind with good and positive affirmations.
3. You can also do the self hypnosis thingy by konniesreality (it's optional)
4. Also, do any meditation or Yoga Nidra at anytime of the day you feel comfortable (It would be better if you do it right before entering void). In my opinion, yoga nidra feels much better (ALSO, DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ENTER VOID WITH YOGA NIDRA MEDITATION? HEHE) It will clear your mind in minutes. It also relaxes your body. But everyone has different choices, so do whatever feels good for you because that's the major point.
5. At night, set the fucking intention and just go for it.( You can do any method which seems suitable for you) YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!! TRY TO PUT SOME EFFORTS ONCE IN YOUR LIFE GOD'S SAKE. IT CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE OVERALL SO MUCH.
I'm rooting for you baby, I know you can do it. You just need a little hard push and that's what I'm here to do. So listen to your desires and most importantly, listen to yourself. You can do this!!
Good luck y'all <3
{Ps : Idk why but i really love making these rude toxic motivational posts I'm sorry 😭}

Mental Training for the GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Tumblr media
In the run-up to the New Year's match of the Golden Bro soccer team, PDU-073, in collaboration with his gold status identity Eddy, had arranged a special training session for the young talent Zayed (@zayed-gold87.)
A training session that was not only intended to increase precision through physical training, but also through numerous mental training sessions with concentration exercises, self-confidence-boosting hypnosis and further training in the ultra-modern gold/black laboratories of the Polo drones. Due to the positive experience at the New Year's match, it was now up to PDU-073 to develop a special mental training session that the entire team would then be able to enjoy.
Tumblr media
After the drone had drawn up the training plan in a disciplined manner, it checked the adjustments of the laboratory equipment with great focus to ensure that the Bros did not accidentally receive too strong a dose and thus be converted into drones.
Tumblr media
That was a month ago. In the meantime, the entire team, including the coaching staff and even all the mascots, the water boys and other helpers, have undergone special mental training.
"Every unit must carry out its task in the match in a focused, disciplined and precise manner. This was the purpose of the training. After exactly 4 weeks, 5 days, 3 hours and 22 minutes, the goal was achieved. The programming is complete. The GOLDEN KNIGHTS will deliver an optimal match. Achieve victory in perfection and unity," said drone PDU-073.

Thiking about stuff at work, came up this m. Would appreciate feedback:
What the fuck do we want?
Ultimately we want to dedicate ourself to being the pet of someone we can consider our "forever mommy". This is a nice end goal but i think its the kind of relationship that needs to build organically rather than something to seek out wholesale. What i think might be much more reasonable to seek out would be things like play partners, mentors; people who can help us become the sub that someone wants to keep instead of the lost puppy eager to cling to attention. Right now i would love to find someone to pull me under their wing and work with me consistently over time; a mix of play, education and discipline/training to help me, not just in my search for a long term partner but to be a better sub/pserson overall. We need more bondage training across the board, especially towards goals of rope suspension. We're miles deep down the self hypnosis rabbit hole but have always wanted to work more with other live hypnotists. We want to work more with petplay and ageplay; learning to spend more controlled and positive time in those spaces while developing better skills at managing life around these headspaces. We really want to explore gooning/edging/denial at the mercy of a domme. Work on developing and maintaining our oral talents. Further exploration of impact and sensory play with a goal of developing and expanding our "fun range". Find more opportunities for body worship.

In trouble (3)
I was confused. In the Elite Camp they had touched something I didn’t know I had.
But while all this was going on in my head, I went back to school. I rejoined the school cadet program, caught up with my true cadet friends, and began to enjoy myself again in that peculiar safe sphere.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our platoon had qualified for regional drill championships, and we had been given a new instructor who had some really fanciful ideas, which we liked. Sometimes these drills were more like a choreography, a dance, and our marching patterns became increasingly complex.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But since we were very full of ourselves, we gladly met the challenge. I have to add that in spite of the Army experience, my grades were fine – and so no one was worried about me.
Twice a week after school I had to report to the barracks for the fulfilment of my punishment, and the same on Saturday afternoon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The demerits I incurred during the Elite Camp had been changed into 240 hours of ‘community service’. I would report to a disciplinary officer who would saddle me with chores - doing the dishes, laundry, weeding in the garden, a lot of fairly numbing work, but always supervised, and (of course) with constant inspections of my uniform.
I would get home inspections at least twice a week, and these were a real burden – the inspector would show up at random, sometimes at 6 in the morning (when I was supposed to already be up and dressed), or 9 in the evening, when I was supposed to be getting ready for bed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They would inspect my wardrobe, go through the bedroom with a white glove looking for dust, they would check my school work, see if my handwriting was neat, if I had made errors, or doodles – it was very very detailed. I was encouraged to remove 'unnecessary' pictures from the walls. They enquired about my diet. I was given appointments for haircuts once very fortnight. Any sign of a lack of discipline was noted.
Tumblr media
And yes, since you are wondering, Tumblr, they also grilled me about ‘touching myself’.
Tumblr media
They couldn’t ban that, of course, but in the odd case that something about my performance was a bit below par, they could ascribe this to ‘lack of focus’ or 'physical distraction', threaten new demerits, and so put pressure on me not to engage in such activity.
It was a bit of a moot point, because my cadet mates and I had a kind of secret agreement that we would stay ‘pure’, so our focus during drill would be 1000% precise. 
My Dad was not happy with all this military personnel showing up at random and visiting my bedroom, but he had entered a busy period, professionally, so he wasn’t around much anyway. And so, by and large, I got back into a regular groove, the same discipline, shirt and tie all day, every day, only intensified by the extra service for the Army. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Underneath, however, the confusion of the Camp experience hadn’t left me. The 240 hour disciplinary service was entirely disproportionate, I could easily have appealed against it, but I began to experience it differently. The extra hours of obedient work became part of my life, they didn’t feel like punishment at all. I began to feel at ease, doing these chores. I began to accept, even welcome the suprise inspections. I began to want them. It was a kind of hypnosis, an intoxication, a feeling of love, perhaps, an addiction to the weird stress of having a stranger reprimand you about a flaw in the ironing of your shirts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yes: they had touched something in me, at a very profound level. They had seen me for what I was. Obedient. Submissive. Loyal. The ‘peculiar numbness’ I had experienced during Camp was not an altered state: it was my true self. I began to stand to attention in my bedroom, even when I was entirely alone, waiting for new orders.
Tumblr media
And then the Admiral invited me over for tea.

Awakening the Serpent Power: The Truth About Chakras & Kundalini (Beyond Psychology!)
Title: The Serpent Power: The Chakras
Tags: #Evola #Tantra #Yoga #Kundalini #Metaphysics #Tradition #Chakras #ShivaShakti #Initiation #HathaYoga
The Microcosm-Macrocosm Analogy
The body mirrors the cosmos; inner forces correspond to outer powers.
The Three Bodies
Material (waking state), subtle (dream state), causal (deep sleep). The fourth state (turiya) transcends all.
Hatha Yoga’s Goal
To awaken superconsciousness, not regression into trance or hypnosis.
The Chakras
Seven centers along the spine, each corresponding to a tattva (element) and a divine power.
Kundalini Shakti
Latent at the base (muladhara), coiled like a serpent. Awakening it reverses polarity from procreative to spiritual.
Prana and Apana
Opposing currents unified in yoga—solar (pingala) and lunar (ida)—consumed in the sushumna (central channel).
The Awakening
Kundalini rises through the chakras, dissolving duality (Shiva-Shakti union at each center).
Beyond Time
Sushumna’s ascent suspends temporal consciousness, leading to immortality.
The Sahasrara
Crown chakra—Shiva’s abode—final reintegration beyond form.
Rejection of Modern Distortions
Psychoanalysis (Freud, Jung) misinterprets yoga as therapy; it is a path for the elect, not the neurotic.
The Serpent Power: The Chakras
Hatha yoga, particularly in its Tantric form, is synonymous with Kundalini yoga. Its Buddhist counterpart is vajrarupa-guhya—the "mystery of the diamond-thunderbolt body." This discipline operates on the premise of a microcosmic-macrocosmic correspondence: all cosmic forces are mirrored within the human body. The Tantras declare: "That which appears without only so appears because it exists within."
The human body is not merely physical but comprises three dimensions: the material (sthula-rupa), the subtle (sukshma-rupa), and the causal (karana-rupa). Ordinary consciousness is bound to the material body, while the subtle and causal bodies correspond to higher states of being, typically inaccessible to the common man. Hatha yoga seeks to awaken these latent dimensions, transcending the limitations of ordinary existence.
Modern psychoanalysis, particularly the theories of Freud and Jung, fundamentally misunderstands yoga. Psychoanalysis reduces the unconscious to a dark, irrational substratum, whereas yoga treats it as a field of metaphysical realities that can be illuminated and mastered. Yoga does not aim to heal neurosis but to elevate a healthy individual beyond the human condition.
The Chakras and Kundalini
The body's occult anatomy consists of centers (chakras) that correspond to cosmic principles (tattvas). These centers—muladhara, svadhishthana, manipura, anahata, vishuddha, ajna, and sahasrara—are loci of spiritual power. The muladhara-chakra, at the base of the spine, houses Kundalini Shakti—the dormant serpent-power symbolizing latent divine energy.
Kundalini's awakening requires reversing the natural flow of vital currents (prana and apana), unifying the solar (pingala) and lunar (ida) channels, and directing energy through the central sushumna—the "Middle Path" leading to transcendence. This process dissolves temporal consciousness, symbolizing a metaphysical rebirth beyond death.
The Ascent Through the Chakras
Each chakra represents a stage in the reabsorption (laya) of Shakti into Shiva, reversing the cosmic process of manifestation. The lower chakras correspond to elemental forces, while the higher (ajna and sahasrara) pertain to pure intellect and supreme unity. The awakening of each center involves the union of its presiding deity (Shiva-aspect) and Shakti, dissolving duality.
The culmination is the sahasrara, the "thousand-petaled lotus" at the crown, where Shiva and Shakti reunite in transcendental unity. This is the seat of immortal consciousness, beyond all conditioned existence.
Conclusion
Kundalini yoga is not mere mystical experience but a rigorous path of self-mastery, demanding control over awakened forces. It transcends modern psychological interpretations, aiming instead at metaphysical reintegration—a return to the primordial, unconditioned state.

Where can I see HG birth chart you mentioned. Is it still an “arrangement “ or is there now love between them?
You can't. It's not online.
For LGBTQ+ we look at Uranus. If it has significant place, role in someone's chart - we can expect them to be with different sexuallity than the physically assigned one at birth.
HG does not have a prominent Uranus placement. He has many of his personal planets in 1st house of self and in 7th house of relationships.
This may seem odd or strange but if you look at 12th house Chiron - it all makes sense. His entire existence in this Earth Plane is planned around PAST LIFE CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.
Je has Pluto in 5th house in Scorpio. Child /Children will come later in life, with difficulties and will be a lifelong PASSION and OBSESSION.
Going back to the chart from a different angle: he is born on 29th. This is a KARMIC date of birth. Souls born on this date have CHOSEN to take on clearing the karma of those in the family that came before them and clear the path of those that will come after them.
If children are BORN and come into the family before the ancestral karma is worked on - such children feel like a burden and like not belonging. If they come after - they will be a blessing.
A blessing is not a cure, cuddly, obedient child. A blessing is a child that you feel has your character traits, your smile, looks like you and you life them more than life itself for it.
Now- souls who CHOOSE to reincarnate into the lineage that needs divine purification are usually the ones who created the knots in the tapestry of this family's lifeline.
(Exception is - if the lifeline is cut off or dies out like the one of the guy who created the plastic. in such cases the soul moves to a family line close to their karmic behaviors - like the glitter producers).
It is highly possible that HG is the reincarnation of someone in his family who had started it all.
Now, what is that ALL. If we turn to numerology - HG has a karmic debt. This is his PERSONAL karmic debt. It is about over-indulging because he can. It is of no coincidence that he was given not only the oppulence but also the responsibilities at an early age from the passing of his father. It is a blessing really.
He needs to develop self-discipline when it comes to self-indulgence and when it comes to other people and commitments - he needs to work on showing his vulnerability but also making sure that he is not overtrusting the wrong people.
This is about his personal karma. It will be a challenge one way or another his whole life.
However, he is here as a beacon of light for his ancestors. They will support him, the from beyond support is tremendous. BUT the WORK on cleaning up his ancestral dust bin is ON HIM. So he needed to be nudged to work on his personal karma quicker.
Now, the Chiron in Cancer wound. He can find in his family history this ancestor. And will be a good exercise to see how down the line every single one of his ancestors felt it and since he became a duke at a fairly young age he can feel it as the burden of all before him on his shoulder.
This is the burden of: "Love does not exist. It exists. But maybe not for me. I am worthy and attractive with what I can offer, not with my bare CORE. To others I am nothing. A dollar sign or a favourable connection. I can fight it but then I'll still not find THE Love. I value RESPECT. I want to be respectable. A marriage deal will give me this. And LOVE - who needs it anyway. "
His big lesson is to find his worth beyond the worth of his posessions. If there is an arrangement and such arrangements have been done since the beginning of his family's history, then he can meditate on BEING LOVABLE.
There is a famous hypnotist - Marisa Pier. She has one such self-hypnosis audio about remembering that you are lovable.
Respect is something that also starts with self-respect. If someone wants to marry your posessions, then they are seeing your self-worth as NILL.
"is there now love between them" - that is a good question for contestants in martied at first sight type of show. We are not in this scenario so I am not sure if this is good question for the cards as it is now. Maybe try to reword it a little?

NSFW 18+ NSFW 18+ NSFW 18+ NSFW 18+
Firstly, if you are underage, please leave immediately, I am NSFW and you should not be here. If you follow me, you are saying you're 18+, if I find you not to be 18+ you'll get blocked.
Secondly, if you hate trannies, but you follow me or look at my posts, hi. Just don't pick on other people while you're here, if you must express hatred then do it in my direction.
Thirdly, if you fetishize trannies, hi. Be depraved toward me, it'd be a first for me. Go on, spin the Dabo wheel 😉
Moving on...
I'm a transgirl.
I'm white (that seems to matter to people).
I'm in my 20s.
I'm single, unowned, unbonded.
I'm submissive, can be extremely bratty.
I'm into petplay and hypnosis.
I don't do pics or vids, but I do voice and text.
I'm still working on my voice.
I own a vibrator.
I don't experience dysphoria about my girlcock.
I'm emotional, easily hurt, vulnerable, lonely.
I have a kink for noncon and exposure/blackmail.
I'm always nervous, have no confidence or self-esteem.
I'm kind of like a dog, if you don't control me, then I control you, you have to be firm with me and reinforce discipline frequently and I will be loyal and obedient, it's just how I work.
I made the mistake of trying to be a porn blog, didn't work out for me so I'm just gonna hang back and be a grateful little thrall for other porn blogs.
If you don't like me snooping at your blog, just let me know and I'll leave, I'm not looking to invade on anyone.
To the zero people looking in my direction, feel free to ask or request stuff.
Consent and all that, whatever, but I personally like to be around people who don't have my best interests at heart. I'm not sorry, I'm just not ready to let go of my trauma.

¶ … 20th century, the major medical model of disease was ascribed to faith, random events or other supernatural activities. Odor was considered to be either a preventative or cause of disease, and indeed, many intellectual people were "bled" to increase health benefits (Kennedy, 2004). After the discovery of bacteria and the use of the microscope, the "Bio-Medical Model" (BMM) moved into prominence, believing that specific illness were linked to specific bacteria, viruses, or pathogens. This "germ" model of medicine was a way for Europeans to define, analyze, and as practical philosophy showed -- deal with the issue by killing the germ. Rarely did science look at a germ as a cause of ill health, and indeed, the entire idea of vaccination came about precisely because of this germ model of science (James, 1992). However, Eastern traditional medicine has held a different paradigm for centuries. Indeed, the very term "health," has come to mean more than just an absence of disease, but a more holistic and complete state of being. As health professionals began to study the links between mental and physical health, they also noticed that other factors influenced the very character of the debate; economic, political, social, and other models that contributed to a person's overall sense of self and well-being. Health as harmony, then, can be defined as the Healthy Psychology Model -- combining Eastern holism with Western organism (Porter, 2006). Yoga is a centuries old physical and mental discipline that originated on the Indian subcontinent. It is often associated with some of the meditative practices of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Janism -- typically a way of relaxation and toning the bind, a sum of mental, verbal and physical activities. It was originally developed to help guide and transfix the meditative techniques of the religious caste in India, somewhere in the 2000-900 BCE era. Yoga is considered an alternative, or complimentary, medicine technique. In Western culture, the controversial term alternative medicine is any healing practice "that does not fall within the realm of conventional medicine," or "that which has not been shown consistently to be effective."evidence-based medicine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complimentary_medicine It is often opposed to and encompasses therapies with a historical or cultural, rather than a scientific, basis (Goyeche, 1979). For example, in a 2008 randomized pilot study, the effects of yoga and meditation combined vs. group therapy with hypnosis vs. psychoeducation on 46 patients with long-term depressive disorders found that the yoga/meditation group experienced a remission and had far fewer depressive symptoms than either control group. Overall, the results show that it yoga should be studied in a more robust manner to find ways to alleviate a number of mental illnesses, stress and even pain control (Butler, 2008). The study was randomized and did include several variations in experimental mode for the test. One group used yoga and meditation, one group therapy and hypnosis and one just psychoeducation. The experimental group included 46 individuals, but it is not clear if the amount of exposure to the different variants was equal. The overall results show that the meditation group experienced fewer symptoms and a remission in depression after a 9-month follow up, but the amount of medication, type, and behaviors after the study and before the 9-month follow up were not robust. For instance, different personalities had different levels of depression, medications, overall outlook, demographic and psychographic backgrounds, etc. We do not know, based on the study, if there is a 1-1 ratio of meditation to other forms of therapy. In addition, three control participants, but no meditation or hypnosis participants, actually developed a new depressive episode during the study. From a statistical point-of-view, the population was valid, but one might agree that a longitudinal study using a more robust cohort would be in order. Eight of the hypnosis group participants also experienced remission, but the difference in controls was not statistically relevant. The data does show some promise for alleviation of stress and depression when yoga and meditation are used in combination. The appeal for use of other techniques to aid the body in healing is growing. In 1998, researchers found that those who use alternative medicine were doing so in conjunction with their typical medical treatments, and approximately 5% decided to use alternative medicine for a replacement of their more traditional treatments. While this may have dubious support since we do not know exactly what treatments were replaced, or for what conditions, the research did tell us that those who used alternative medications at all had a higher level of education and demographic pattern. Dissatisfaction with conventional medicine was not a meaningful factor in the choice, but rather the majority of alternative medicine users appear to be doing so largely because "they find these health care alternatives to be more congruent with their own values, beliefs, and philosophical orientations toward health and life" (Aslin, 1998). For instance, many of the subjects reported that use of yoga, meditation or other forms of alternative medication led to their increase in health -- at least based on their own personal connection to their health status. Indeed, most of these same patients noted that they had rather significant transformational experiences that changed their worldview and allowed them to commit to more spiritual growth. Additionally, these patients reported that they had fewer colds, anxiety, muscle and back pain, and even a better outlook on life. This was particularly true for Yoga patients, and has also been shown to improve hyperactivity and attention deficit syndrome (Jensen and Kenney, 2004; Redfering and Bowman, 1981). Clearly, the topic requires further examination and research; both from a longitudinal and representational perspective. Mainstream medicine is now poised to accept more of yoga, and even medical student's have begun experimenting with the therapy (Simard and Henry, 2009) References Aslin, J., 1998.
