I’m SO EXCITED for this title
I have been requesting two stage multi’s for a while. It’s HERE
Since there’s no issue with this, I’ll run them as a stack for a little while.
Summertime seems like the best compliment but I don’t want to do overdo it either
I’m running it with Summertime as well. Paragon Sleep once a week.
So you’re doing 3 or 4?
I was thinking of throwing in Stage 2 once a week with my Stabilizer, Dream Boy and QL stack
Started with just 30 seconds each of stage 1 and 2 (Monday)
I’m excited because this is actually the stack that makes the most sense to use to push myself to higher listening times slowly but surely.
I normally just stay at 30-90s on titles, but since this is a bit of everything, using this as a way to build my tolerance past 3 mins seems awesome
Second listening day was Wednesday, added in 30s of summertime, so that’s 30s of all three subs. Absolutely ZERO recon on Tuesday, so obvs I tolerated 30s of ST1/2 well.
Tuesday was my flight, and Monday after my loops I packed and prepared for it, and I could really feel everything in stabilizer to a T. I did intensive journaling on every part of stabilizer during my flight to have a full life assessment to start this journey. I was able to think in terms of priorities better than ever before. My mind reorganized itself into something much more peaceful and simple and productive (while at ease) than I ever thought possible.
And I was comfortably social on the plane, more than usual. The “performance” that comes with having a “great” conversation definitely dropped, and I wasn’t forcing any socializing or “trying” to connect with anyone, but the conversations were momentary pleasant moments of connection way deeper than small talk, yet didn’t feel required to turn into a permanent connection or intense conversation. Just a moment of great quick conversation that brightened both of our day, 4 or 5 times just on Tuesday.
Note that I edited Week 1 and will continue to make (and then edit with updates) 1 post per week, rather than make a new post every single time I post.
Recon post from another thread. Adding in 30s of summmertme hit hard and hurts
Summertime recon passed and turned into true joy, social leadership, and the ability to “not need to read social dynamics because of such a sense of joy and ease” like it says in the copy, comparing it to true social.
Pickleball with millionaires out of nowhere, laughing, making best friends with guys I just met, that was a truly joyful weekend…
Monday: 30s of my GLM/Essence-of-Executive-Bulletproof (anti-avoidance) and 30s of ASC1
I loved summertime, and proved to myself that the recon is manageable. But I choose GLM over Summertime right now given Saint’s post that the origin scripting for the stabilizer was GLM. GLM stabilizes life internally, ASC1 stabilizes practically/externally.
And I think my nervous system needs more gentle regulation before attempting summertime/lbfh
The fact that I had a name embed with the essence module meant to help with avoidance, perfectionism, and hesitation, that was the icing on the cake.
And just from assessing my ultimate needs in my career… I need the inner stillness to be able to think at the level I want to think at and perform at the level I want to perform at. I need the disciplined drive and action. I need the masculinity boost. I need the internalized drive that comes entirely from within.
GLM also makes me feel like I have stillness and spirituality inside of me every moment, and removes the duality of having to choose between grinding and deepened self-awareness.
I also saw hints in GLM that made me think summertime had elements from GLM as well. “Rising light” and “Stoic Joy” and something about the feeling of summer was directly mentioned in the copy.
Friday - 60s ST1 + 8s Summertime
Ultimately summertime just feels like the better sub to run when I’m doing 6 weeks backpacking in Latin America, and can hopefully help me bring joy to the little things in stabilizer (Spectacular Mundane Moments) or whatever it’s called
Sunday night: 7s Summertime, 5s WDB.
Monday Morning: 60s ST1
went on a random adventure with the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever spent time with, we met, and an hour later decided to take an hour moped ride to a volcano crater. immediately snuck in these microloops after I realized we were vibing. Good idea? Crutch? Anxiety response? Hard to say.
There’s actually a lot of results around self-assessment coming from ST1. The ability to identify emotions in the moment, the ability to make weighted decisions not impulsive decisions. The ability to delay decisions and the commitment to only make decisions from certainty/strength.
It’s getting easier to identify negative emotions AS negative emotions, not as impulses needing to be solved logically. I’m getting more in tune with my overall baseline self, and as a result, if a negative emotion spike happens, I wait for it to resolve, rather than redefining my identity/goals/beliefs from that state.
the idea of separation from and awareness of recon as separate, rather than reduction of recon, seems profound.
For example last night after the date I was ruminating. I didn’t catch it then because I was drunk, but it continued when I woke up, and my sober mind immediately recognized the patterns I was in.
I thought to myself “man did I f that up? Was that a good date? Do u think she regretted inviting a stranger to the volcano halfway?”
(Fast forward to the truth: She didn’t)
And then i made it personal, maybe I was this-that-or-the-other-thing.
So once it’s personal (shame/inferiority) my mind immediately jumps to subliminals. (Fast racing and useless thoughts like:)
“Man i need to run khan, or ROTNW, oh but WDB is so good too, but I’m already authentic I just can’t pulll the trigger, so maybe I’ll make a name embed WDB/ROTNW, but Khan would be good for career, shit why do I stack switch so much, etc.”
But then for the first time, I caught myself. Realized I was spiraling. Realized that investigating some of my attachment wounds is a good thing but diving into the proverbial deep end every time I meet someone is not. Realized that improvement is good but improving every flaw that I have all at once is not a good thing. One at a time, tolerate the ones you’re not all-in on fixing this exact moment.
What’s that prayer? The courage to change what you can and the strength to accept what you can’t? Yeah… that’s good advice (for me to tell myself) for handling recon and not switching subs so often.
Monday night - 90s of ROTNW - I can quickly feel that WDB is NOT the vibe i’m going for here… I needed to listen to ROTNW to hopefully overpower WDB. But also, I want fun frivolous experiences while travelling, not feeling like every woman I talk to is someone I have weeks and weeks to open up to about my life. It’s a 24-48 hour window before one of us leaves the city, every time lol
The listening schedule I’ve taken on has been extremely helpful.
TLDR: MWF + Weekly Assessment
I’m taking the regular listening instructions and applying them weekly instead of daily.
So, instead of assessing for recon on each rest day, and increasing/decreasing from there, I’m assessing the results of the overall week + my processing load on the weekend, since I have a MWF schedule.
If the week had a high flow factor, the rest days were low recon, and I feel like there’s no heavy processing done on the 2-day rest, I’ll increase the listening schedule.
But a high flow factor is hard to achieve, so I’m not jumping to increase rapidly.
The biggest benefits are that I stack switch less because I committed to a specific title/time for a whole week. And the other benefit is that I never really have to decrease my listening exposure because this is such a gradual increase. Only summertime was reduced from 30 to 7 seconds, and I plan on running summertime at 7s until I feel a high flow factor with it, not just until I stop being in recon hell
All the new drops and support system has been incredible.
I’ve been asking support question and they reference OTHER support articles I’ve written. So now each user has an individual profile - it knows and stores what my goals are, my sensitivity profile, my stack, and other subliminals that I’m running/considering even if I don’t mention it in the original support ticket.
Haven’t been posting much because I’ve been traveling but wow what a trip. I’m a social dynamite. Had my first threesome. Got some amazing writing done. Sprained my foot so bad I couldn’t walk for a week. Got 6 or 7 job interviews/opportunities that I’m working right now.
There’s been downsides too. I’m sensitive to mood swings so there’s been lots of ups and downs. I’m smoking now - never been a smoker my whole life. I wish I had more money than I did - I was supposed to be financially AMAZING for this trip but my company changed up our pay structure to make it a huge pay cut AND I took a month of because of illness I couldn’t control. So… I went from rich to cash-poor and needing to budget every dime, but, now that I’ve been travelling like a brokie, I have enough budget to spend the rest of my trip in style.
And I’m about to start being a tourist and traveling again (with the most gorgeous girl ever that I met) instead of staying @ my friend’s and resting my foot.
But damn my foot hurts. I need to go to a doctor when I get home 
Stack has been:
Honestly I’ve been posting on the main discussion threads so if you want to see me break down results, just go to my recent posts from my profile.
I’ll be dropping ST1 of ascension and replacing it with ST2.
Not that I’m “done” ST1… but hopefully I at least set a bit of a foundation. However, I’m simply not IN my foundation, and don’t think at all about paying my bills, cleaning my room, etc. I don’t have bills… I don’t have a room.
Switching to ST2 will help me enjoy the moment, decide/get a better paying job, help with sales if i immediately start working, and help me attract the girl I’m traveling with IF ITS RIGHT.
Part of the switch to ST2 was I asked myself “hmm should I run ROTNW while I travel w her?”
That did NOT resonate (love this concept)
However, I listened to my call to be more attractive and found that ST2 DID resonate.
30s CCC, 20s summertime, 30s Ascension ST2.
I have mood swings.
As a result, I have decided to NOT use the increased exposure method.
I’m gonna sit at 30s for all subliminals, 60s for simple ones like Ascension/GLM. And even then… I’d rather stay at 30s and adjust the listening frequency not the listening exposure.
I find that I can handle recon very differently based on where I am in my mood cycle.
If I’m “up” I can handle a lot of listening! When I’m down, barely anything at all, so instead of progressively increasing, my listening time feels like a rollercoaster.
I’ll only know whether or not I “experience recon” from a title at 30s if I listen to it for an entire month. Upping the time to 60s+ for something like summer time or my crown and capital custom might deliver short term results, but it’s a long term recon/mood swing waiting to happen, and one of the features of a mood swing is I don’t realize that the “good times” are over and that I’m going downhill, I ALWAYS find an external corcumstance to justify why I feel like shit, and tell myself apart from that one thing, everything is fine!
Switching from ST1 to ST2 of ascension, the first thing I noticed is a very powerful returning of my attention/energy back onto myself.
I have been ruminating quite intensely over a girl, and thinking about how i’d like to live in Latin America with her for 6 months. I’m going through oneitis, basically.
Once I started ST2, I noticed the next morning that my attachment to whether or not she likes me/dates me/wants me at that level of intensity disappeared. I still like her, but I see how much clinging there’s been, how much romanticizing someone I barely know, how much projection of a future there’s been on someone who I don’t actually know and am pedestalizing.
I still like her, but, these ideas that I had that I was gonna woo her into multiple months of travel with me from some gesture and proposition of some grand future now feel outright foolish.
The scripting around “clear romantic signal, from being, not performing” and scripting around the concept of letting her know my interest/intention while also being detached to the outcome are in full force, obviously! Feels a bit like romantic GLM, returning to self.
One of the hardest parts about summertime for me is realizing how much pain I carry around being punished for joy. My family wanted a kid that was quiet and kept to himself, I was loud, adhd, happy all the time, but in the way a golden retriever is jumping all over you, just annoyingly happy. So I got psychologically “punished” for my joy.
Now, when I’m living in the world and I feel I get punished for joy, it hits me deep and for days, like I have to question all my life choices and change everything about myself.
I wrote the below post and then reflected on it and realized that was the pain, perceiving myself as being punished for being joyful and socially free, even if it’s not the most socially attuned joy.
Damn… I understand why summertime is so hard for me.
In my personal and social life, it’s one of the best subliminals that I’ve ever run.
Difficult, but the results are incredible when they hit!
I could easily grow into that title because it’s so in alignment with who I am overall.
But professionally, the sales management industry has an extreme bias against being overly friendly, overly warm, light love and joy focused. They have created logical biases around the idea that “winners” are hyper masculine, driven and aggressive and testosterone-competitive-fueled.
A lot of them will even play into my warmth to get me to overshare, but it’s all tactical, they’re presenting as open as a tool to get you to open up so they can find your secrets faster and use you or discard you based on them.
I love the title, I love the social archetype of summertime,I love it in every area of my life…
it’s a problem with gym-bros that have millions of dollars and subscribe to red pill philosophy, NOT a problem with summertime. But the simple truth is when I lead with joy instead of tactics, sales managers dismiss me because they’re looking for someone that cares more about the outcome than the connection
That’s sad. Really sad. Feels like a total invalidation of who I want to be, who I am, and how I operate. Living into the highest joy I have to offer and operate by is seen negatively by people who believe money and tactical influence is everything, over connection & willing to make mistakes and connect and laugh about them,
Guess I’m not ready for summertime unless I have a month or at least a few weeks where I’m not thinking about networking at all
Great experiment
I’m sure the sub will still bloom while I’m out on the island next week!
Connected crown & capital: 20/10
Summertime: 10/10 & 3/10
Emperor Reforged: 7/10 (aligned with healing, not exactly aligned with “sovereign”
Very much aligned with GLM so will be adding that BACK in and giving a number to soon.
Ascension ST1: 7/10
Ascension ST2: 9/10
So I think I’ll go back to the original game plan with this journal: focusing on ASC1/2, + CCC, and once they become grounded, add in the other titles at a slower pace.
Need to do a bit of a de-load phase, as I saw in a support article “over-exposing causes the need for longer breaks, which slows down results”
can you send this specific article?
Bro listen more lol
Like 1/3 minutes
ChatGPT heavily leaning on suggesting anxious attachment coming from the nervous system’s inability to regulate uncertainty.
(I’m more anxious-avoidant, but, that involves mostly anxious up until I’m in a relationship that gets serious)
Subliminals are also pointing directly at my nervous system being the biggest lever to pull for my personal development.
