Sebastian Drake (Dimitri) was a genius of his own and Chase is a master organizer, analyzer, tester and codifier. Chase improved on Sebastian's work and added ground-breaking theories to it. Everyone who pays attention for a while gets his life transformed. My bootcamp buddy David Tien (Dr Asian Rake) in Singapore is a perfect example. He was a slightly depressed shy-looking PhD student coming from a bad breakup, and now receives praise poems on Facebook from his 20 years old model girlfriend.
I see a lot of guys coming on the GC forum from other schools of Pickup because they recognize rightly that the real stuff is here. Ricardus wrote a magnificent five-part post where he made a distinction between State and the X-Factor.

I'm sure a lot of you went TL;DR, and you missed a very important thing.
Trying to get in "state" is not the way to go. Ricardus described this as an artificial "buzz" like drugs that you impose on your system. I find three main problems with this "get into state" strategy:
1: It doesn't work during the day.
2: It doesn't work in a classy environment
3: You keep repeating the same thing and don't find real consistency
Some other schools of thought maintain that the ability to reach "state" is the Holy Grail of pickup. I disagree. It is useful in some late-night situations where you meet girls that had their inhibitions lowered. For these girls, it doesn't matter if you are a trashy dude who doesn't care one bit about what they say and who just escalates to sex. Same thing goes for depressed girls who are badly in need of affection from a guy who moves fast.
Understand that "State-based game" is a niche type of game: it gives you access to girls who are receptive to this.
However, as a man, you're losing value by relying too much on this kind of game. At the end of the day, you can't escape the constant judgement your brain will impose on you. Your brain will ask you this:
You can try to avoid your ego all day long, but unless you're completely nihilistic, hold society in absolute contempt, have no desire for love or a relationship whatsoever and are perfectly satisfied with the quality and consistency of the girls you're getting, it's not gonna work. Before you fall asleep at night, these thoughts will haunt you.
You'll fall into bits of depression and bitterness. That's because you won't be like David; you won't be self-actualizing. You'll just be repeating the same old stuff over and over again, and it won't even work very consistently.
Honestly, I'd think you would be pretty weird if you succeeded in being so detached from other human beings. It would look like some kind of functional autism. Life would lose a lot of its value, which is about connecting with people and having feelings for them.
Men with exceptional value who move fast and understand what women want don't need to be in "state". Elite men know that, as males, they have more value than pretty girls, and this is confirmed by empirical results. Once you stop struggling to resist that concept and just accept it as truth, you have no need to be try-hard anymore, no need to get in "state". There will be no need to deflect shit-tests from girls because they will notice the X-Factor instantly and that will prevent them from insulting you. Instead, they'll just have butterflies and feel like they've finally met the perfect man, just as Chase describes here: https://www.girlschase.com/content/whats-wrong-dating-america-and-much-west. When you're confident in your value, when you become the arbiter of proper social behavior, when you know you're the best man this girl could ever have, you don't need a drug-like state as an ego shield, since your ego is no longer vulnerable.
Making your ego impervious takes time and experience. It comes hand-to-hand with abundance, value and skill. Being a great lover, having good fundamentals, having abundance, putting your life goals above women, this is what you want.
Be an elite man, be M. Perfect.
Meditate on that,
And read Ricardus' post!

- -Are you improving as a man?
-Are you really just trash who sleeps with drunk sluts?
-Do you have any real value besides sometimes sleeping with a hot girl once a month?
-Why can't you have a really hot and great girlfriend?
-Why don't women want to see you again?
-You're not that much of a pimp, are you?
