In the work (The Creative Engine)

• Ideas that feel like yours. The thought that arrives over breakfast stops being luck. It is the ordinary, astonishing output of a mind taking part in the world, and you can say so.
• Hungry to make. The lean toward making starts to outweigh the lean toward scrolling.
• A still center to work from. Feel deeply, take in a room and wait through not-knowing, and stay in one piece.
• Eyes that see in layers. Surface, structure, history and meaning. Ordinary things get their strangeness back.
• The hidden harmony. The spiral in the shell, the branching in the lung, the proportion in the page. Number felt, not counted, and borrowed as design.
• A free thinker’s appetite. Science, history, cooking, other cultures. Nothing gets filed under “not my field,” and the conclusions are your own.
• Lit windows. Read what people carry beneath what they say, and let the people who inspire you do it, gratefully.
• Feeling as fuel. Heartbreak, frustration and joy go into the work instead of being swallowed.
• Ideas no one else has. Principles carried between fields, and unlike things held together until one jumps.
• Unbound. Genres, disciplines and “how things are done” taken apart into threads and rewoven into work with its own territory.
• Worlds within. Whole cities, albums, companies and futures built in the mind, vivid enough to walk around in, before any of them exist.
• Real craft. Learn from the masters, practice where you are weakest, know your medium from the inside, and edit with a clear eye.
• Your own print. What you have been holding back comes out, and the work sounds like you.
• Start, flow, finish. Begin rough, drop into deep flow, keep going through the slump, and ride it all the way to done.

MY STACK

If I hadn’t hotswapped to Mogul just recently, I’d have switched to this in a heartbeat.
It pains me, but RM has to wait.

I’ll switch right to it once i’m done with Mogul though. This sub is everything I want.

The London Underground map is wrong about nearly everything: distances, curves, the actual geography above ground. It is right about the one thing a traveler needs, and that is why other cities copied it.

You’re bringing a tear to my eyes… Georgia O’Keefe, Edward Hopper, Monet, the London Underground?

This is my discipline, craft and life, both artist and educator. Oddly enough I didn’t use RM the first time round because it read too much like a Shoreditch Byron archetype, which is great if you have the funds to do so, but I don’t. But muse creation? Patron and funding help? How to deal with criticism and finding your art tribe? Fu… You’re making it hard not to run this.

Thank you, Saint!

Will take my time reading the copy. First glance of it looks great!

16th! There’s not a prize for 16th?

This sounds like another incredible title. This very well might work in my next stage, literally about two years from now. I have a solid business idea that will create a new, seemingly mundane cure for a need virtually everyone complains about, but I need to build my base first and get my trading back in order.

One step at a time and with patience. But man, SubClub is knocking things out of the park lately. Just incredible stuff.

You guys are geniuses.

@SaintSovereign

A Stark Black Reality is built for fame, dominance and empire at the highest level. The Renaissance Man shares its four pillars, adapted for creators: the right audience in place of mass fame, value named and paid for, authority over your own work, and resilience.

Loving this. Really glad you made the decision to add Stage 1’s Essence to Stage 2. I’ll likely add Stage 1 fully once I’m in a place to focus on creativity itself.

I’m wondering if there’s any social scripting aside from romance in Stage 2, or if it’s just a natural outflow from the rest of the features. It feels like a lot of titles recently greater utilize the interplay of their modules to generate effects rather than taking place in isolation.

@SaintSovereign Thank you.

And thank you for the idea thread. I could hear a few of my ideas when listening to the copy.

I plan to run Stage 1 with RM: UWX in a name embed. Since The Creative Engine offers creativity in a new and novel way, will the creativity be multiplied when pairing it with UWX which already offers unlimited creativity?

I know you don’t want to promise masterpieces, but what kind of creativity can I expect when pairing both as opposed to running only one of them?

Hungry for Everything

A child crouched over a puddle does not ask which subject it belongs to. Physics, chemistry, geography, theater: it is all just puddle, and wonderful. Somewhere along the way we learned to file curiosity into fields, and to stay in ours.

Hungry for Everything helps you unlearn the filing. You follow interest wherever it leads: a midnight documentary on deep-sea creatures, a pottery class, a book on joinery, an old jazz record. You learn fast because you want to. Nothing is off-limits to examine, no opinion arrives pre-assigned by your job or your crowd, and the conclusions are yours. Every new thing links to something you already knew, until your knowledge looks less like a filing cabinet and more like a city map full of shortcuts.

A Q-module of this would be great!

[Metamorphosis]

Wondering how this would stack with ASBR / Stark @qOS

[Rey]

@qOS how would stage 2 stack with essence reforged ruler

[Malkuth]

This #@*!## program description is so beautiful it’s making me weep.

@SaintSovereign @Fire

I am legitimately wondering what gives you guys challenge.

What do you find difficult to do?

I’m reading through this Renaissance Man copy and it feels so well conceived. But more than that, it really feels written from the inside. How do you do that? (I’m being rhetorical; but I do wonder.)

It’s an amazing breadth of production and creation.

I’m a right-brain dominant person. (Yes, that’s an over-simplification. But, anyway…) And the Renaissance Man copy speaks to so much of how I think; and possibly what I need.

Where do you get the imagination to conceptualize so many different identities, visions, archetypes, and vistas?

The same people who wrote this, wrote BDLM, wrote The Revelation of Spirit, wrote Emperor, and on and on.

It’s pretty inspiring.

Well, rock on…

Man the drive to get into the studio space and do some work is immense. Just watched several tutorials on painting with value scales.

[heartmadeiron]

Sounds fun. Gonna hold off on this bad boy for another 6-12 months sound. Need to commit to my current stack.

[bujin]

Thanks for the tag @SaintSpring

This is an interesting title, I like the direction this has taken. I can see running ST1 in my third slot alongside my spiritual AL/A:S/RoS and cognitive QL/BL/RoM customs. I suspect it would latch onto both in very interesting ways. Will consider this in the new year.

[Rey]

@SaintSovereign so many possibilities with this title man oh man did you guy guys knock it out the park
I’m trying to narrow down what my stack is going to be as I plan to run stage 2 for the entire 2027
Thinking with either Essence summertime
Or essence reforged.

[Evolver]

Wow this is art personified. Subclub team Making it really hard for anyone to keep a stack nowadays

Listened to Stage 2 yesterday. Finished submitting some materials for a grant application and got an email telling me I’d have to wait three weeks to find out if I got it.

Just woke up to an email telling me I got accepted for the max amount, literally less than 12 hours after my application was submitted. Y’all are great.
