Been journaling privately for quite some time but I think I’m ready to re-open public journal
Stack: E:C&C + R.I.C.H + KB
I always appreciate everyone’s input and advice so feel free to message here if you have something to share with me!

After adding ECC and RICH, I started exploring another niche, so I’m temporarily rotating Dragon Reborn: Regeneration out, and adding KB in. Need more energy. Not sure how I’m going to be listening it in the future, either go through full KB, and then back to Regeneration, or rotate each stage of KB with Regen.
ECC and RICH are staples in my stack for now.
Starting dates:
KB1 - 10th of March, 2026
ECC - 1st of March, 2026
RICH - 1st of March, 2026
15s microloops

Sexual transmutation?
no, I meant financial. I’m not really taking any particular actions with KB, except for just doing my best to retain
On the KB thread, Saint and Fire said that you can run it almost passively, letting your subconscious guide the process, rather than doing all kind of energy practices

Currently in recon because I’m dumb dumb and switched subs a bit too fast, without proper rest lol
A mix of depression and apathy, with despair due to the political and economical situation in my country, so I’m kind of stuck here and have no idea what to do. Can’t really focus on anything at the moment
Taking additional rest days. As I was adviced by SaintSovereign, I’m going to just stay at lower exposure for now, and as I was adviced by Niles, I’m just going to be sitting with the feelings and processing them
Once recon passes, I’ll go back to listening to my stack and will be staying at 15s. I want to try doing a recon-less approach so I’ll be testing higher exposure tiers like once per cycle (60 days) or so.

Feeling WAY better today, though there’s still some residual recon
@Niles, I did try your method of just sitting and doing nothing, and while I agree that it was extremely hard overall, I haven’t really noticed the recon dissipating or any breakthroughs tbh.
Is it something that I’ll get better with practice you think?
For me so far the biggest recon-killer is night sleep

To me you can’t accept recon or negative emotions because you want to get rid of them. That’s actually a different form of resistance.
To me recon is part of growth, and to accept it means let it do its thing. The reason sitting doing nothing is good, is that you don’t interfere with the process by escapism.
Could be the reason why sleep works, because you’re not in the way lol
Sleep is also where we usually consolidate our experiences and memories etc

I’m not sure how to just accept it though
yeah but the peculiar thing is that naps don’t do anything recon-wise for me, only night sleep works

Give this a try
-
A good meal - fuel, break and sensory experience
-
Reflection / doing nothing - let the thoughts do their thing
-
Self forgiveness - acceptance, permission to let go
-
A good night’s sleep - rest. Recovery. The subconscious works through the issues

You and me both mate. I’ve learned alot about the process with DRReg, but it’s easier said than done. But that’s the way for me. It’s hard for me and easier for others. But this is where my growth is currently.
To me (my current understanding) it means you don’t want to get rid of it. Imagine society and social conditioning is saying ” recon is awesome, recon is what you want to feel. Recon is the shit!” You see actors and movie stars in recon, they get celebrated for it. Imagine that. How would that change how you feel about recon? How would recon feel like if that’s the case? You would probably be less resistant to it and more accepting. You would probably be more compassionate.
In this business of growth, recon and discomfort is part of it. It will not disappear, but hopefully my experience of it changes. It’s usually the resistance that’s the problem.
GLM/LB and DRReg is doing wonders for me in this journey.

I am doing all of that, except the “acceptance” thing. As I said, only night sleep does something noticeable
sure, but the problem is that I literally can’t work during it. I’d be completely fine with just feeling bad but I’m not fine with being unable to focus on anything - doesn’t matter if it’s something I enjoy or not. It feels as if my subconscious is trying to find something to resolve recon but is unable to do so, and I’m just sitting there with scattered attention lol
That’s pretty much the main reason why I want to do this:

The recon being there still is normal.
It can decrease the recon, but that’s not entirely the point.
It’s about detaching from it; to just observe.
Let it come, let it be, let it go.
The recon will still exist, but by practising this, you’re not gonna suffer as much because of it.
From there, you can start gaining better perspectives & clarity as to what to do with the recon.
It comes through practice.
Acceptance doesn’t just come, it needs to be practised.
Precisely.
You can accept that your car is breaking down every few kilometers and not suffer from it, but it doesn’t change the fact that the car ain’t going any faster.
The good thing about sub is that, even with the breaking down (recon), you will eventually get to a better outcome.
But the fact that the car is barely usable still stands.
That’s where microlooping comes into the picture.
This is also the reason I microloop the hell out of the subs I use; I simply get more consistent results progressing this way without having to worry as much about the car breaking down. Some might argue that my car is slower, but I care more about the stability of progressing what I do in real life than progressing the length of exposure.
You’ve read my journal, I think you don’t need to be as slow as I do, but listening to less is better overall.
The 15s for an entire cycle you do is reasonable, though I think you can try to probe higher exposure more often than every 2 months.

Yeah I feel ya. So the best way is to add rest days and decrease exposure so it’s manageable and doesn’t affect other life priorities too much.
That’s what I do too, as it can be disruptive and I gotta take it at a pace I can handle. Otherwise I would just run 15 minutes and chill in a cave somewhere until it’s resolved lol.

I like these analogies, thank you!
I’m microlooping as well, I was just a bit too eager to start new stack 
Of course I’m taking responsibility for that and resting now
But even so, I often have similar recon just by adding 1s to exposure. That was with GLM + EOG stack, I could do 20s with no recon or very little of it, and 21s would kick my ass lol. I did eventually managed to clear the blocks that standed in the way and up my exposure to 3+ min but I’m pretty sure that it would be more productive to go slower and “consolidate” current duration before increasing it, because I was in recon for most of the time and was missing out a lot on potential productivity and action taking
So yeah, this time I’m taking it slow, even if it’s “excessively” slow. Not like the work stops once recon is cleared
Also, it seems to be about the correct time frame for me currently because I was able to up Regeneration to 30s roughly after 45 days or so. I think 1 full cycle is good enough timeframe and gives some structure rather than just doing it every once in a while and then spending a few days in recon lol

Seeing vivid dreams last two nights, the same topic - apocalypsis. But overall dreams are positive
For some reason, many people report apocalyptic dreams on wealth titles
It’s also 4th day of washout and I’m feeling great today

@Niles, aside from recon reduction and insights from sitting and doing nothing, have you noticed an increase in overall productivity and life enjoyment by learning to tolerate boredom better?
5th day of washout and feeling amazing now. Seeing weird dreams and releasing some negative thoughts/traumatic memories. I guess it’s Regeneration bloom but who knows

Day 1 - C&C + RICH (15s)
When I’m overexposing, I feel recon, and when I’m at proper exposure levels, recon becomes more cognitive
Today was a good day, focus was high, productivity was high. Still, there’s a lot of things that need to be reconciled and I can’t logically resolve them at the moment - there’s not enough data for me.
