It’s my custom I described before.

My nails and hair are growing faster than before.
(Probably LotS in the health custom and KB.)
Nails roughly doubled the growing speed, hair (curls) is difficult to measure, but it is getting longer and fuller. I didn’t change anything about my hair routine.

Nouveau RICH and Free Pass (and maybe Treasure Finder?) go quite well together. My enthusiastic dislike of soulless buerocracies - we have quite a few of those - slowly morphs into honest interest, in the search of strange opportunities noone else really uses.

Started to read The Lean Startup yesterday. Love it. Not much filler in it. Probably the aspect I love most: Structurally it gives the opportunity to use perfectionism as a constructive force.
A bit of recon yesterday, anger and frustration. It’s feels necessary though. I ended two contracts with suppliers in the end. They were really good to me in the past and we had a very friendly business relationship but quality of goods deteriorated over the last couple of months. I do to much out of sympathy, something I have to change.
Annoying repetitive work is still annoying and repetitive, but the situation is getting better.
Taking a short, early washout over the weekend to clear my head.
Recon is receding.
NRICH feels at times like a pretty big crowbar deconstructing brittle old structures. Nothing I didn’t know before… but can’t look away anymore. It is taxing.

New cycle.
Got a lot done today.
I keep going like this, all the annoying BS is done in '23.

Bit of a stomach bug. After changing my diet over the past year family christmas food was way too heavy.
Useless fact of the day: The Caga Tío (a two legged log of wood with a santa hat) shits christmas chocolate for Catalan children.
Christmas traditions can be weird.
The log probably shares the crown with the Welsh rap battling horse skull.
Whenever I have time, reading in “The Lean Startup”. The described structures are great. A lean political party, especially in the sclerotic political landscape of Germany could be very interesting.
Switching midcycle was, of course, a bad idea.
I love the new PRIMAL. (listened to it twice so far), but will go for a washout now. Recon is a bit rough.

Really tempted by ASBR. Most aspects I tried to put into TGOoaO are part of ASBR, only a very few would have to be added. A TGOoaO v2 with everything excluded that’s already covered by ASBR would look something like this:
The Gentle Opening of an Oyster v2
I. A Stark Black Reality Core
II. Free Pass
III. Treasure Finder
IV. AI Whisperer
V. Kronos Key
VI. Joie de Vivre
VII. The Flow
VIII. DEUS
IX. Pragya
X. Tyrant
XI. Jupiter
XII. Void of Creation
XIII. Yggdrasil

Will rework my customs into more (for different occassions) smaller (~10 modules) ones. I had great results with the 20 modules customs, but some modules just didn’t shine through. (probably too much bandwidth needed).
With only 10 modules it should be easier to get full, more focused results.
Having weird and very detailed dreams on my Primal custom. (I normally do not remember my dreams.)
Neither pleasant nor unpleasant they were mostly about the finer details of social interaction, how decisions are made, what’s important for people, what they hate etc., all dressed into colourful dream logic and language. (built/bought a lot of houses last night, lots of dogs/animals in the garages, never seen, always heard.)
My approach to customs is changing.
In the past I was planning customs.
Meticulously sorting, considering and reconsidering every single module that could/should fit for a single topic.
Looking back, it was all still a bit theoretical and too much, what I want, not who I am. I got good results, but they were often too broad for appropriate action taking.
Primal really helps to acknowledge where I am now, who I am now, in which ways and directions I can grow. (plenty!)
Going forward I won’t build customs around a set theme (writing, finance, etc.), but start with cores that feel right/urgent/necessary (right now these would be Primal, Lovebomb, Legacy of the Spartan and, of course, Khan Black), aim for ~10 modules and go for a very specific goal.
Building a custom for a specific project has the action taking build in.
Primal ist doing a lot of groundwork right now. A long way to go, but so far it’s an entertaining stroll.
A couple of experiments down the line.
RM:UWX with the New Love Experience and the New Romance Experience.
It will be interesting to see how this filters through: Will it colour the writing or will it influence the writing has on/in my life? Maybe both?
Dreams getting more vivid.
Some serious body horror last night, but only thematically.
I saw the horror. I didn’t feel it.
A., the Primal / Love Bomb custom,
Primal Core
Love Bomb Core
Edge of Danger
Joie de Vivre
Song of Joy
The Flow
Polyglot
Temptation
is an experiment. (It’s made as preparation for a couple of small performances in April with 5-6 rehearsals til then.)
A couple of insights:
~10 modules is just the perfect custom size for me. Instant gratification as the results are more or less instantly tangible and a better grasp of what module does what for me.
Taking appropriate action is much easier.
Maybe I’ll get back to the larger customs for maintenance at some point in the future.
Primal and Love Bomb are outstanding subs. Experienced getting presents with Love Bomb for the first time on quite the scale (lovely antique stuff). Felt a bit weird. Great, but weird.
LB is going to become a staple sub. Socially you can achieve pretty much everything if people love you.
I love the healing and inner development with Primal. Absolutely outstanding sub.
Edge of Danger was added due to the performance concept, it doesn’t really mix with LB for me.
Temptation with Primal, LB, Joie de Vivre and Song of Joy has a wonderful playful feel. Mixes perfectly.
