Having a few adjustments and transformations these days.
Brief recap:
Originally, I had two customs, Sapiens (external building, effectiveness, creative expression) and Naissance (Inner Work, Inner Exploration, Integration and Integrity). I combined them together to create a complex called PHENOMENAUT. Sapiens program cores (Emperor and Quantum Limitless). Naissance program cores (Alchemist and Sage Immortal; also Ascension Chamber). I had a third program for Wealth generation and Life Optimization called PATHS. I called the three programs together, PHENOMENAUT Optimized.
Joined the QTKS trial in late May. I submitted my Sapiens custom for the trial. And I’ve been running it as QTKS since 28 May or so. Because this was a trial, I put my other programs on pause. And just played Sapiens QTKS alone. On 15 June, we were given the okay to add in an additional program(s). By this time, Khan Black had been introduced. This felt like enough of a game changer to me that I chose to start running stage I. (My other two original customs were still on hold.) Then on 30 June, I felt called to include Genesis as my third program. Had an amazing dream the night after my first loop that affirmed and reinforced that choice.
So, since 30 June my 3 program stack has been:
Sapiens QTKS
KB Stage 1
Genesis
Part II:
At some point in July, it gelled for me that about 80% of the functionality in my PHENOMENAUT complex would be captured by just two programs: Revelation of Spirit and Revelation of Mind. After the money and effort I’d spent on designing and working up to being able to play my original customs (Sapiens and Naissance), it took me a while to accept this fact. But once I accepted it, it seemed clear and also good.
So, my next move is to reorganize my Sapiens custom. Instead of Emperor and Quantum Limitless as the two program cores, it will have 3 program cores: Genesis, Revelation of Mind, Revelation of Spirit. That new custom will be called Phenomenaut: Genesis. I plan to run it in QTKS. By February, if all goes as expected, I’ll have been running KB4 for one month. At that point, I’ll swap out Genesis in that custom, and include KB4. Now, it will just be called PHENOMENAUT.
Naissance (the internal development custom) will be retired for now. I think RoS covers almost everything that I put into that custom.
My stack will be Phenomenaut, PATHS, and POOLS. (POOLS of Healing is my Paragon-based custom. And I’ve been really wanting a chance to play it long-term.)
So, to make this a little clearer, I’ll describe it in terms of functionality.
PHENOMENAUT: Internal Exploration, Internal Development, Internal Strength, Integration, and Alignment, The Capacity to Facilitate The Same for Other People
PATHS: Wealth Generation and Lifestyle Optimization
POOLS: Physical Health and Thriving
That’s the target.
Until February 2024, I’ll run my interim stack of
1 ) PHENOMENAUT: Genesis, 2) Khan Black, and 3) POOLS/PATHS (possibly alternating)
