A few of you have taken the DMI audit more than once. I noticed. One man just came back after 18 days. His score dropped 14 points. His tier shifted. His pattern shifted. He went from Treading Water to Coming Up For Air — and from The Split to The Flinch, which is a fundamentally different structural problem. Easier to work with. 14 points. 18 days. I don't know exactly what he changed. That's what makes this interesting from further understanding StateMaxxing. Here's what I want to do: I'm building a small dataset of before/after audits taken 60–90 days apart. If you've done meaningful work in that window — on the material, on your state, on your patterns — I want your numbers. Re-take the audit at thedrowningman.com I will run the data and send you back a personalised progress read — not the standard report, something more targeted to the change. This is an experiment. I'm gathering the first real data on how fast these indicators actually move when men are doing the work. Early signs suggest meaningful tier-level shifts are possible inside a month. -- On a note related to StateMaxxing — The Reprogramming is done. Vol. 1 is complete. Four tapes: BE PRESENT → BE COMPLETE → BE READY → BE PLAYFUL. They are now in their final version. The intro tape lands shortly (probably tomorrow), and then after that the Early Bird pricing is done. The fastest way I've found to accelerate state-level change is encoded into this material. Ericksonian induction. Pavlovian anchoring. Subliminal activation that works on multiple levels. The same mechanics used to programme assassins in MKUltra and project Artichoke, applied to overriding nice guy conditioning at the source. A weapon like this has never been created before for this purpose. Your subconscious cannot distinguish between a vividly imagined experience and a real one. That's not a metaphor. That's an exploit. Super proud of how these turned out. This represents my most important work so far to helping change the life of the drowning man. I will push this farther in a volume 2 (more on this another time, but it's going to be fucking wild, basically merging complex anchors together to give you the Alpha Buddha energetic toolkit to run a life of Daddy/Dominant energy with women, put the holes in their place and have them love it kind of thing). And then after that I consider that the core stack of information and direct state change is complete and focus on the next phase: Some new long form content, and the next phase of fun: How to build a Harem.

Most of what exists in this space is information. Theory. Strategy. But the problem isn't that these men don't know what to do. They can tell you exactly what's wrong with them in real time, at least the symptoms and ways in which they are falling short, and yet still go run the same pattern. Information doesn't touch the part of the system that's actually broken. So I went a different direction using a unique set of skills that have never been applied in this way to this problem before. I've spent the last few months building something that uses related psychological techniques to the ones I share — Ericksonian hypnosis, Pavlovian anchoring, subliminal state activation, psychic driving — applied directly, at depth, to burn nice guy conditioning out at the root. Not explain it. Not reframe it. Remove it. The inspiration was MKUltra. The CIA spent decades developing methods to reprogram ordinary men at the level of instinct — below memory, below choice, below conscious resistance. I once saw an elite mentalist use those methods to recreate hypnotic assasins. I knew the techniques worked. All I was missing was the time and interest to apply it to this particular problem. I've taken that same methodology and pointed it at the one thing that's actually stopping nice guys: their state. Four states. Each one anchors it to a physical trigger. The minimum viable stack to show up as the man you already know you could be. Think of The Drowning Man as a map/direct pointing. This operates directly on the nervous system. Raw state change. No need to learn anything. I put A LOT into this one and it packs an absolute gut punch that will rewire you. I genuinely think it's a novel approach to a problem this space has been circling for years and the start of taking this work to the next level. Please let me know what you think below, brothers.
