Most especially, from the perspective of someone who has been teaching 20 years and coached
thousands of students, he’s right when he says that many guys think, quite falsely, that they have
something inherently wrong with them, when in reality it is often just a few skill sets they are lacking.
So they process the problem as being bigger than it is.

Where I have a challenge is when Sinn starts talking about “discipline” as a way of breaking old habits and pushing up the ladder of seduction/sexual satisfaction and success.

Talking about “discipline” SOUNDS like it makes a lot of sense; it just seems to be something you can’t dispute.

However if you will bear with me a minute I can guide you to an understanding using a different an even counter-intuitive way of looking at things that might strongly increase your own progress.

Here it is:

For guys “discipline” conjurs up images of gritting their teeth, pushing through pain, and forcing themselves to continually act in a certain way.

And there is no doubt about it; staying focused with a vision of how you’d like to be and taking consistent action to get there matters.

However……..the assumption is that guys who have been deeply stuck can simply, by an act of will, set aside all of their emotional pain and confusion and clearly see what they need to do.

A big part of guys being stuck is NOT laziness, contrary to what Sinn might say. It is confusion, and also having their vision of what is possible with any set of tools being colored by the emotional baggage that they carry; their fixed ways of thinking, feeling, responding and also their constant dwelling on mistakes.

Telling a guy to just set all of that aside or to just push through it is NOT a practical solution for 90% of the guys out there

Here is why:

Pushing through pain and confusion means you are also coloring all of your perceptions, actions and interpretation of events THROUGH PAIN AND CONFUSION.

It creates a tremendous amount of internal friction and noise, and requires a big investment of energy for a minimal return ****no matter how good the field system the student is using****.

Believe me, old habits of thinking, feeling, acting, responding and interpreting events WILL come up when you try to change; they have tremendous cognitive “momentum”, and pushing back against them trying to use your will is like taking a car with no wheels and trying to get it to move by gunning the engine harder.

So teaching students how to develop a good “witness” state; the skill of being able to watch old patterns arise BEFORE they color perception, distort awareness and drive behavior-teaching this is a huge necessary step for students to begin to progress and learn efficiently.
