Thanks for the information. The comparison with poker was dead on. I am a poker player myself, and I'm kind of using the game to improve my intuition. So far I haven't had much luck. Well, it comes and goes.

Circuit V definitely describes where I'm at right now. Funny thing about it is that I am a musical artist and I do smoke a good amount of cannibis as you mentioned in there.

I seem to be stuck on circuit 5 and can't reach 6.

Circuit VI
Winner: "I make my own coincidences, synchronicities, luck and Destiny"
Loser: "Why do I have such lousy luck?"
The Loser is totally where I am with that one. I notice that while playing poker, quite often I will be statistically (80%-95%)favored to win the hand and still lose, and this happens most of the time. I think this has something to do with me assuming the negative is going to happen, therefor I somehow create that negative reality. Either that or I am so paranoid about losing that it still happens and the person playing against me will hit the 1 card in the deck he can hit to win the hand, throwing all skills out the window. Now obviously improving my poker game isn't my primary goal, but it seems like a good way to see where I'm at. Do you have any advice on crossing from circuit V to circuit VI?
