This comment is directed at what I told @Plutus the other day here:
Now, I don’t mind people making pleas for objectivity. I enjoy it. But if we are going to talk about objectivity, I fail to see how you can so easily hand wave and dismiss the very pattern that I pointed out:
What other explanation exists for a situation where last year – before political turmoil and economic instability really rushed to the forefront of the collective – your team (and yourself) were doing well, and then EVERYONE on the team, including yourself suddenly experiences a decrease of leads?
The reasonable answer is “market forces beyond an individual’s immediate control,” especially considering that any time there are wars and rumors of wars, economic fluctuation occurs immediately after. And this is something I am not even willing to debate upon, as it has been so well-documented, discussed and researched that many believe that the “elites” do this on purpose to force a market reset.
The unreasonable answer is to suggest that not only is C&C somehow “negatively” affecting your results, but now the entire team? But I don’t think you were actually suggesting that, correct?
Look at your stack.
ASBR – one of the more difficult titles to wield, with a very future oriented angle.
C&C – possibly the most future focused title we have ever made.
New R.I.C.H. – New tech, pretty easy to run
True Sell – Older tech, pretty easy to run
I see what you’re trying to achieve with this stack. That being said: it’s a very, very future focused stack. Meaning, any deep or subtle blockages you had regarding this topic (and that’s the thing with blockages, the conscious mind can’t often see them until they become aware of it) would come rushing to the surface as recon:
Of course you would experience doubt about the future. You’re running a very future-oriented stack. This is recon regarding the future, as you would expect with ASBR and C&C. I’m not sure if you’re even registering it as recon, since recon on ZPU feels much different. It is not as depressive feeling as before, it may even register as insight. Since that’s exactly what ZPU is supposed to do.
This is why you’re describing it as (paraphrasing) “I feel shaken, yet still solid. I can accurately identify what is bothering me.” This is exactly what ZPU is supposed to help with. Recon should no longer feel like a heavy weight on the inner life, but rather insight into the issue. But if that insight gets redirected away from the true cause and projected onto the title, even the most objective of measurements still becomes biased.
The entire “is the title not working / supposedly broken / flawed” thing is one of the most common forms of reconciliation. We have all seen this before. We have all seen this when tech changes. It always occurs, because the new tech triggers new forms of reconciliation. With ZPU reconciliation itself – if it does not occur alongside strong negative emotions – is a lot more hard to spot, and that’s the REAL reason we pumped the brakes on releases.
Not that the tech is somehow flawed – it is not, for many reasons that I am not going to disclose except one: it’s not that different from Zero Point. It is not the complete pivot that Qv2 to ZP was.
ZPU-tech has been introduced incrementally for quite sometime, we were quite masterful and precise at how we approached. The customers, however, are not used to how it operates. It is similar, but different in expression. That is why we expedited Summertime. No baggage, no expectations, just pure fun and relaxation, allowing people to really explore ZPU without disrupts to their stack or having to deal with changes in tone, etc.
I fear that the Anti-Recon is doing its job too well. Before, when recon was accompanied with a certain inner state of deep processing, the individual was almost forced by the weight of the emotional load to resolve the issue. And this ties into a conversation larger than the scope of this particular one, regarding the addiction most people have to intense experiences as a catalyst toward transformation. Most of us are inherently expecting transformation to feel intense, and rightfully so – since that’s what we all did. And many of you ran Qv2 and early ZP. Effective, yes? Intense? Yes, it could most definitely be intense.
Now, everyone – I know many of you glamorize what you think we do at Subliminal Club everyday. I am telling you the absolute honest truth that the majority of our work involves reading charts and doing data analysis. Pulling every customer report, categorizing them, looking for patterns, charting those patterns, figuring out how we can help with the issues tech wise. It is not as fun as you think. Rewarding? Yes. But I look at so many charts that I just wanna scream sometimes. You all are the ones having the fun and experiencing the wonders.
I say this to help everyone understand why we are so confident in ZPU. We have tested it, we have done the work, we have questioned every data point, questioned each other. The confidence is well-earned.
This whole thing that’s been occurring since, well… WDB, is just subtle recon. The normal recon cues just aren’t there for many people. Now, I have many very obvious examples of this, but the intention here isn’t to create this “divide” between people but rather bridge the gap by pointing out that many of these questions regarding ZPU are being driven by fear and recon – if you look close enough, it is very obvious.
It is quite a dilemma, that we have managed to reduce recon’s disruptive effect, only to find that a large majority are now unable to see when it is occurring because the process is so much more simple. The question I would ask anyone reading this post is: Are you truly being objective? Or have you found an easy scapegoat to push issues onto?
I’ll give a hint, based on all my years of experience doing this: if reading that question, you experienced anger, frustration, a desire to fire back… I would suggest to look again and see what you’re really not facing.
