As I stepped out the airport and walked into the car park, my dad noticed a change in the way I moved and commented that I seem so composed.
As I walked into my workplace the next day my co-workers observed something about me had changed. They wanted to know how I looked so relaxed and so composed and so in control of myself and surroundings. They asked if this what NYC does to people. I smiled. To them it was an outward smile; to me it was a transformation.
As I went to obtain lunch and walked into the mall during my lunch hour everything and everyone around me seemed still. I walked in shoulders back, head up and chest out. Very
alpha, but yet gentleman like I ordered my lunch. My voice projected powerfully, yet calmly. The sales clerk looked at me and smiled. Those around me looked at me, maybe to see where this powerful voice came from. I just smiled, not caring about who thought what about me. No one mattered to me. It was almost like a Zen like state. It felt as if I have reached Nirvana. I collected my lunch, paid and walked of.
While walking I felt the world going still. I felt at peace. I felt as if I froze time and the world was just a toy in my hand. A beautiful girl passed me. Effortlessly without thinking I ran behind her and opened her. I looked at her seductively and slowly and calmly I delivered what I felt from my heart. I did not flinch, I did not rush, I did not throw my hands in the air, I did not seek a reaction. Here was a beautiful creature, and here was I calmly expressing my feelings. Why should I fear? Why should I seek a reaction from her? This was my world, this was my moment, and this was my reality. And I create my reality. No one affects that. She smiled. I kept looking at her eyes with passion. I then asked her name. My friend looked on. He saw the smoothness, the smile, the charm, the slow controlled hand movements, the
body language of a relaxed and confident man. He did not hear what I said but he was in awe at the control and composure, the sexuality that oozed from my body and my energy.
Rewind 2 weeks ago. I would have approached her after much debating in my head. I would have blurted out my opener and smiled like a big brother. I would have sought a reaction from her. I would have stood there and for ten minutes tell her all about myself. I would have asked the same questions over and over. I would have sought rapport from her. I would have emotionally overreached to her. And then I would have become her best friend.
How did I reach this state of mind? How did I reach a stage where everything and everyone became so fluid to me? Did I travel to Tibet or India and learnt from the yogis and swamis? How was I able to consciously be aware of what I was doing and saying and what the effect will be? No, I did not go to Tibet or India. In Hindu philosophy it is said that the ‘Atma’ is the embodiment of all knowledge, of all power, of all divine consciousness. It is the centre of love, peace, power, passion. It is not affected by time, by space. Nothing can affect it. It cannot die nor can fire burn it or water wet it or air dry it. It is in a state of constant bliss.
It is of no coincidence that the word ‘Atma’ translates into the English word ‘
Soul’. I believe that there was divine guidance when a simple and humble, yet powerful and seductive teacher decided to go by the name
Soul. For he represents passion. He represents love. He represents confidence and charm. He represents that state of mental balance where nothing can affect him, his self concept or his self worth. He represents patience and dedication. He represents what the ancient Hindu texts referred to as gurus. For the guru goes beyond seeing the student as a person, but as a
Soul to take under their wings, to guide, to protect, and to sacrifice for. The guru shows the student understanding and empathy. All of these qualities I found in
Soul.
Maybe at this point you are wondering when I am going to stop signing praises. What I wrote above is the expression of what I really feel….something I could not do before.
I decided to do two days of one on one training with
Soul. When I heard he was coming to NYC I immediately decided to contact Jeremy from
Lovesystems and booked
Soul for the 2 days. I also attended the
workshop which was held the day before (separate review to follow).
Soul did not disappoint. He is an excellent teacher, no doubt about it. The most amazing thing is his unique ability to watch you from 25 feet away and observe the way you speak and move and point out those very little things that make or break your set. It’s hard work. Be prepared to run across streets and dodge cars to stop a girl and tell her how stunning you find she looks. He will push you to your limits, but hey…that’s why we are here for right? He will find out from you the type of girl that you like and make you approach those. During my one on one I must have approached over 40 sets. Each set was broken down in detail. He will ask you what did you say, what did she say, what value did you show her and how far did you push to a number and date close.
It has mentioned a million times but there is no substitute for live infield training. Don’t get me wrong. Books and videos and audio series are worth their weight in gold. But having someone who can teach and break down exactly what you need to work on is the best way to go.
Vercetti joined us for the 2 days. So I had two excellent teachers to give me feedback. More on
Vercetti later because he does deserve more than just a casual mention.
At no point did this feel like a student / instructor relationship. It felt like hanging out with good friends and an epitome of knowledge. At each approach you could feel things starting to make sense. Of course not every set will stop or react favorably to your approach. But this is part of the process. Even
Soul had a girl tell him of the bat that she was not interested. What he taught me was how to remain un-reactive to it all. All you need is water, food and air; you do not need validation from a woman. He showed me that it is a part of his being to take risks for the things he wants in his life.
Prior to this I had a lot of
sticking points. They were simple little things that would have taken me years to figure out if I had to do it on my own.
Soul takes his job seriously. One of my main
sticking points was that I was good at holding conversations with women for 20 minutes and more but they all saw me as the big brother friendly guy with the child like Santa Claus smile. I remember at Union Square we spent around 20 minutes rehearsing how to make my interaction more sexual and create a sexual vibe. I was the girl and he was the guy and then we reversed roles. He showed me subtleties of the voice, the eyes and the tone. I know his homoerotic demos have been mentioned before but having it done on you may lead you to question your masculinity…lol! My delivery was not smooth at first. It still is not for I speak very fast by nature, but I started seeing improvements by the end of the second day. I must admit that I felt conscious of what people must have been thinking seeing two brown Asian guys with their faces a couple inches apart looking and whispering seductively at each other!
He taught me how to really identify what was valuable in myself and how to present myself in an attractive way to a woman. This is something I could not do effectively. He spent almost 3 hours with me asking me about my background, how I grew up, my passions, my hobbies and my family. I used to think that I had nothing of interest to tell a woman. By speaking with me as a friend he identified what was attractive about me and showed me how to present while at the same time not giving away too much about myself unless she showed me some value in return. He showed me techniques how to speak with a woman and relate to her in a seductive and romantic way. He showed how to be smooth and remain calm and in control no matter what happens in your interaction. He gave me belief in myself.
He doesn’t care how long it takes but he will explain the same thing over and over until it makes sense to you. I have never seen such dedication before.
What’s the difference between the normal
workshop and the one on one? Both are very useful but the one on one is a different kettle of fish. It allows everything to be customized to you and allows your
sticking points to be identified and fixed.
Soul will just look at your first set and pinpoint exactly what you need to work on. In the
workshop he will go through
attraction switches but on the one on one he delves into you as a person and customizes the switches based on what is attractive in you. He can also spend much more time correcting your issues. I agree some people can go from zero to hero after a
workshop but I am not one of those guys. You also have the advantage of telling him exactly how you want the training structured. It’s like having your own divine guidance with you at every moment and through every up and every down. The biggest advantage of my one on one is building that closer bond with a unique and genuine person.
Soul kept reminding me that he saw so much of me in himself a few years ago. He also shared personal stories from his life concerning his parents and I related to him very well. I may never reach his level but just knowing that he is my friend is an inspiration in itself to keep being my best self.
This review will not be complete if I did not talk about
Vercetti. When I first saw him I was a bit intimidated by this big serious looking dude! I worked with
Vercetti during the
workshop and I was so impressed! He is one of the most friendliest and genuine guys you can meet. He joined
Soul for the entire one on one with me.
Vercetti got game…no doubt…he kept
approaching the hottest girls and number closing them with ease. His
body language is just so powerful and confident and expressive. Having come from a background of acting he gave me some very powerful tips on
body language and story telling and living your emotions. As a person
Vercetti felt like a friend I have known for years. He wants you to succeed and demonstrated great knowledge and patience with me. He was the perfect one to work with for
body language tips. I had an issue where the girl will step back from me. I am a big guy and sometimes women can be intimidated by that. He showed me a simple strategy to counteract this. This guy is brilliant!
My only concern is that I don’t know if I have done this review justice. How I feel and what I feel cannot be explained. Spending time with
Soul will automatically affect you at a subconscious level. I felt there was so much to learn and was wondering how the hell was I going to be aware of all these things in set….but just being around him for 2 days ingrained the desired behaviors. I still have much to implement and I am by no way the guy who can run after any girl and get her number or an instant date. But I have the tools and with hard work and practice I know I will go very far and increase my options.
Soul if you are reading this I want to say that you have no idea how this has affected me. Not only in terms of pick up, but in my everyday life. I go through life with my head help up high knowing that I control my world. Knowing that I can be the
James Bond of my life. Knowing that I can express myself and love myself even more. You gave me belief and self respect.
It was life changing in more ways than one!!!!
Thank you!
