Hey guys,

I have seen some renewed interest in Brandon Woodson's posts lately. Wondering if any of you have looked into the mega genius lectures as a result?

I know it's behind a pay wall, but I'd be interested in the thoughts of those who have listened to them. If you haven't listened to them, please don't comment :/ ...

I have developed an exercise based on some of their contents, but I need some people willing to experiment with different recovery periods to determine the best methods. Preferably, it will be people who have listened to the lectures some time ago. Please don't go out of your way to listen to these lectures for some insight into these exercises. I am specifically deterring away that kind of person because I don't want people think I'm part of some scam given the dubious marketing on the website. But also, I prefer people who have listened to the lectures some time ago so that they have had sufficient experience testing the contents in their own lives. Newbies likely won't be of help.

Please let me know if you're such a person and you're interested.

Hi,
I've listened to those lectures before and am skeptical of his claims but I am interested in any exercises you have developed based on his teachings.

I still remember his "genius" formula:

1. Expand your awareness.
2. Examine Thoroughly.
3. Remove all Assumptions.

Let me/us know if you're interested in continuing, if they sound good I will give them an honest evaluation.

Hi TRE,
How long ago did you listen to the lectures? Also, I'm curious, have you listened to every lecture of every series?
Did you try implementing any of them in your life?

I spoke to Brandon some time ago and there were two things he said I found of interest that are relevant here.

Firstly, he talked about counting the number of times one applies any single part of the formula each day.
Secondly, he talked about "cycles". But, he didn't expound on what this meant - I should have asked. 

I wonder if by cycles, he meant that one fatigues when applying the formula, thus becoming less efficacious in applying it over time. Then, after some "recovery" time, their underlying ability to apply it improves. This is not mentioned in the lectures. But, Brandon did tell me that he has spoken to Jim Diamond using one of their other services & I wonder if, if he hadn't come up with the term "cycles" himself, that was something told to him by Jim Diamond. We don't know.

This is largely my own guesswork based on my own experience with fatiguing with the formula & experiencing that "recovery" & subsequent increase in underlying ability. I'm trying to understand more about how this fatigue & recovery works in relation to the exercise I've developed.
