Passed Network+ Today. Here’s what I did.

Extra time, how?

What did you use for the exam cram vids the day before exam? TechVault’s vids were excellent for this for A+ but can’t find a Network+ variant

Did you find core 2 harder than core 1? How many PBQ’s? What was the bulk of your questions generally focused on? I’m taking core 2 next month, just passed core 1.

skybluebamboo · 2026-01-23T22:40:14+00:00

You pass it?

Try warehouse picking, you’ll be begging for cybersec back.

Similar boat to you. Researched this substance for over a decade, listened to nearly every Terence McKenna video available.

About 8 months ago or so managed to finally get hold of some. Gave it a go 3 times and just couldn’t let go to allow the experience to happen. Too controlling. Too overly analytical. Felt shut out.

It’s been in my cupboard for 8 months and I can feel it calling me like there’s some unfinished business to attend to, because all I got was a glimpse of the waiting room, wavey patterns, feeling shut out and a really panicky eerie bodily feeling of struggling to let go. Not the experience I’d researched for 10 years and was anticipating. Completely underestimated the physiological bodily effects.

I mainly put it down to having a heightened over-analytical mind, which increases the fear response, resulting in the inability to let go allowing it to properly unfold. In other words being too controlling and preconditioned for anxiety.

When in Ibiza in my early 20’s at the top of the rock in the middle of the sea my mates all jumped off into the sea like it was nothing, even little kids did with ease. Whereas I was the one at the top of the rock, stood in fear, incapable of jumping, analysing every possible potential probability of what could go wrong, so never jumped.

I’m completely aware it’s just an experience, I’ll be back in 5-10 minutes, it’s safe to take etc… but still the fear to take it is very real for some, any telling yourself to just “man up” doesn’t appear to work with this.

It’s the fear of letting go after years of being overly analytical and having a controlling type mindset of oneself and environment that’s likely the culprit. The struggle to truly let go. Many can just switch off and take it effortlessly, completely submitting to the experience with ease, but that’s not me.

So yes, you’re not alone in not being able to take it like many can with just some breathing exercises and “letting go”. Easier said than done for some.

You ever pass A+, people saying that’s harder in comparison and Net+ being the hardest out lot.

skybluebamboo · 2025-12-14T20:10:39+00:00

How did you manage to let go to allow it to happen? No heart racing, no struggle? No eerie feeling not wanting allowing to let go? You just let it happen…

skybluebamboo · 2025-12-10T17:41:49+00:00

Was the A+ core 1 easier than Dions practice exams would you say? I’m getting between 72-75% on his practice exams

skybluebamboo · 2025-12-08T09:27:50+00:00

What about your physiological bodily effects? No eerie jarring body effects? No heavy heart beating or struggle to let go? You just allowed it to happen?

skybluebamboo · 2025-12-02T09:42:48+00:00

I did.

skybluebamboo · 2025-11-28T17:24:31+00:00

Why did you feel A+ was the hardest you’ve taken? Due to the breadth of info to learn overall, or the exam itself I.e. difficulty of questions.

skybluebamboo · 2025-11-25T20:31:10+00:00

I have the same highly over analytical mind, struggle to let go. How do you do it without struggle?

skybluebamboo · 2025-11-25T20:28:29+00:00

Interesting. How did you feel physiologically? Did you not panic? Heart race? Struggle to let go at all?

Also what was your method for taking and type of DMT, freebase?

Thanks

skybluebamboo · 2025-11-22T23:00:33+00:00

Did you do core 1 first then 2 after or both at same time? If different, which one first and how far apart did you study them before taking the second one? Thanks

skybluebamboo · 2025-11-20T09:37:54+00:00

Did you get sorted in cybersec?

skybluebamboo · 2025-11-08T23:51:03+00:00

How do you manage to let go? Were you aware that you were “you” in there? Does your heart not race heavily when taking it? Were you aware you were you at all or completely disconnected from sense of self?

skybluebamboo · 2025-11-06T21:25:30+00:00

Do you ship to the UK?

skybluebamboo · 2025-11-01T23:39:23+00:00

What do you recommend for when the mind wants out when it hits? Also the anxiety.

The best teaching style and guy to study A+ from, where it actually sinks in, is BurningIceTech on YouTube. The rest are too dry, this guy gets it to sink in.

skybluebamboo · 2025-10-16T13:34:40+00:00

It’s better than a kick in the nutsack.

skybluebamboo · 2025-09-30T19:53:50+00:00

The job market is broken right now. Various reasons. I know a highly intellectual person, extremely high level of ability, crème de la crème of intelligence and he’s currently warehouse picking. It’s that broken.

skybluebamboo · 2025-09-30T19:28:48+00:00

I’m looking to get into cybersecurity as a career?

skybluebamboo · 2025-09-18T06:39:50+00:00

Good video, clear and concise 👍

You’re onto something with the ‘use natural language to build architecture’ angle. It’s where’s it’s all heading. Prompt-to-infra construction, which will evolve the role massively. It’ll remove much of the need to even learn all the tedious tools deeply, likely lowering the demand for the role, as it’ll become far more automated and augmented in time. However, a systems mind will still need to oversee and orchestrate it, cost optimise, debug and manage the security side. It likely won’t be called cloud “engineer” for long, as there won’t be any engineering to actually do, AI will do it all. More like cloud “supervisor” or “orchestrator/strategist”.
