Hmm, what about swapping GLM for Sage Immortal?

Would that merge physical dominance with spiritual dominance into a unified whole? Or would that just diffuse the focus into an unwieldy mess?

Ran Emperor x 1 today

@Malkuth what does a forum ambassador do?

[bujin]

Another option is to swap GLM for either HOM or RICH, to add a secondary wealth focus.

[bujin]

HOM probably has too much extraneous stuff I’m not that interested in, so maybe RICH is the better option. Less overall density too, I’d imagine.

@bujin

@Malkuth what does a forum ambassador do?

A forum ambassador is a forum participant who is trusted by Subliminal Club to:

1. try to support the wellbeing of the forum as a whole and the wellbeing of individual users on the forum
2. actively share her understanding, learning, mistakes, and insights with the community
3. support other forum participants who also wish to do the above two points

Like a mini-moderator without the administrative access and privileges.

(oh god. I just realized I’m a Class Prefect.)

[bujin]

Wealth is another facet of power, so if I swap out GLM and Direct Influencing Aura () for RICH and Sultan, it looks like this:

Modules
Emperor Q Core
R.I.C.H. Core
Divine Self-Image
Dominion
Earthshaker: Authority
Fearsome
Fenrir
Furious Ascent
Invincible Presence
Iron Frame
Mastermind
Power Awareness
Righteous Ire
Sultan
Tyrant
Victory’s Call
Void of Creation
Vortexdive Crucible
Whispered Power
Yggdrasil

@Malkuth

the wellbeing of individual users on the forum

So given this, and your recent post on processing days, what is your opinion on my (inadvisable) experiment running the subs daily with few rest days?

@bujin

So given this, and your recent post on processing days, what is your opinion on my (inadvisable) experiment running the subs daily with few rest days?

1. I kind of trust your judgment. You seem to apply an attitude of no-nonsense empiricism and self-honesty to the way you describe things. You don’t seem to be driven by a desire for drama or a need to impress others or yourself. So, I think that if you carry out an experiment and are not pleased with the results, you will make appropriate adjustments until you do like the results.

2. The generic guidelines are based on a statistically average human being. And that human being does not exist. So the guidelines are a safe, solid, and reasonable starting point for using the programs. Following them should, in general, lead to a satisfying result for the greatest number of people. In contrast, individual optimization will require personal experimentation; guided by the recommendations but not necessarily limited to them.

That’s my opinion.

Really good answer, thank you.

In my case, I’m working with the following data points:

1. I haven’t enjoyed running the subs since ZP. The guidelines, while understandable and necessary, make it all feel like a chore instead of the fascinating and fun process it used to be. So I’m switching back to a more experimental mode long-term.
2. The recommendations are for maximizing results, but getting results is not the main driver for me. It’s about exploring my psyche and my reality. And that likely means a different listening protocol which, I’m guessing, requires a higher load. See point (6).
3. I don’t seem to get any significant bloom during washout. What does this mean? Is it because I’m processing the subs well, or because I’m processing the subs badly? Or is it irrelevant?
4. I’m sensitive to the immediate effects of a sub, but deep and long-term changes are elusive. Does that make me a hard-gainer? Or am I just old and stubborn? Again, results aren’t the main driver for me, but I’m curious why this is and what it means.
5. Running Emperor daily puts me in a constant state of happiness and turbo-charges my productivity, so it’s doing something and I’m not stonewalling, but am I sabotaging the more profound effects by not giving it room to breathe?
6. The most profound and lasting changes I had were from a ridiculous and stupid experiment while running Khan ST4, outlined here: Is running multiple instances of the same subliminal a good thing? It was a really rough and unpleasant experience overall and not recommended, but the effects were startling, so it may be I respond better to higher exposure. On the other hand, that was Q, and this is ZP, which is a completely different beast, so who knows.

I do wish SC had created that restricted experimental forum category, I want to push this experiment much further, but I don’t want to post that in this public journal, and there’s no appropriate place here to do so. So it’s going to be offline, which is a bit of a shame. In general this forum no longer feels welcome and supportive of experimentation the way it used to be.

[Malkuth]

This is extremely useful and I am going to reflect on it for a bit.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Something of potential interest:

For the last few months I’ve had recurring pain at the base of my skull where it meets my spine, accompanied by headaches and neck stiffness. Sometimes is just feels like pressure there. Sometimes it actually feels pleasurable. I spoke with my doctor and a couple of specialists, and had various tests including an MRI, and the diagnosis is that I’m in perfect health.

With the medical stuff out of the way, I’ve been looking at the spiritual side of it. My first thought was Kundalini activation, but I have some experience with that and this time there’s no additional sense of activation of the lower chakras accompanying this. It’s entirely focused at this point.

There’s a lesser known (some say vestigial) chakra situated at that point known as the Zeal Chakra, The Well of Dreams or Mouth of God, so I’ve been doing a bit of reading on it. Here are some interesting quotes:

The Well of Dreams Chakra goes by other names like the Eight or Occipital Lobe or Zeal chakra or the Mouth of God. This chakra is situated at base of the skull and back of the neck.

It is considered as one of the new chakras. It has not received the kind of attention it deserves. When activated, this chakra is responsible for the flow of information from the higher dimensions. While the activation of the third eye chakra helps us become clairvoyant this chakra helps us develop a higher level of clairvoyance. It also opens up or magnifies spiritual abilities, healing gifts, etc. It is said to be blessed by the Buddha. Some experts are of the view that this is the point where the soul enters at birth.

This chakra helps in recollection of dreams and astral travel and out of body experience thereby making it vulnerable to attacks from lower energies. Spiritual shielding of this chakra is very important.

Some of the symptoms of the awakening of this chakra are headaches, tension in the neck and upper shoulders. The qualities of this chakra are strength, protection, gentleness and gracefulness.

Lethargy, depression, fatigue, and difficulties in manifesting desires / goals are some of the signs that this chakra is blocked or imbalanced. The reasons for the blockage or imbalance could be stress, emotional trauma or negative programming of thoughts. When open, balanced and healthy one manifests from a place of love. This chakra works very closely with the Crown chakra. It makes communication with our spirit guides, guardian angels and other divine beings from the higher realms easier.

Also

The Cerebellum Chakra is located at the back of the neck just where your neck and head meet. This Chakra is known as the “well of dreams” and is said to help you access hidden realms, creative ideas and your soul contract. When this energy center is strong, it manifests as feeling in touch and inspired by your dreams and even prophetic dreaming. It can also help you to see things for what they are, without allowing judgements of the mind to interfere. When out of balance, this energy center can manifest as clouded judgement, always seeing the negative side of things and an inability to tap into your intuitive voice.

And

Symptoms Of This Opening

You may feel direct symptoms over the Well Of Dreams chakra at the base of the skull like a feeling of pressure, heat or tingling, which makes you aware exactly where this chakra is located. Because these symptoms are over the chakra, you may feel sure they are related.

Other symptoms can include headaches, tension or a further opening of clairvoyant powers above or beyond what may be experienced by the third eye. Clairvoyance often is not controlled, meaning it comes when it wants to. If you suddenly start to get waking visions this may have something to do with it.

Colour & Attributes

The Well Of Dreams is said to be Magenta in colour, which is a little more pink than the Third Eye, which is Violet. Refer to the flower picture at the top of the page for a magenta colour. Other names used for this center are the Mouth Of God or the Zeal Chakra.

As the name ‘Well Of Dreams’ suggests, this chakra is connected to the remembrance of dreams after you wake, or even what the dreams actually represent, but also remembrance of astral travel or where we go to whilst we sleep. We normally have no memory of our sleeping journeys taken via our astral body, which remains connected to the physical by a thin cord. Some of us do a lot of work at nighttime or also study with various masters at their etheric Ashrams. As this chakra becomes more online, we may begin to remember more that makes sense to us of our nighttime travels rather than our hodge-podge dreams we currently recall.

Once we become fully conscious beings, we will only sleep about two hours on average a night. We will become more integrated with our Higher Self meaning one major reason for sleep (our Higher Self to process many of your daytime activities) will no longer be needed. When we begin to do this whilst awake, we will sleep a lot less as a race.

And

The The Zeal Point chakra, located at the back of the head and at the base of the skull is beginning to open in many people. And it is creating a myriad of challenges.

Physically, this chakra governs the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and several other automatic functions. And it is the gatekeeper to your state of consciousness.

The Zeal Point chakra is also known as the Mouth of God, Well of Dreams, Jade Pillow or the Ascension Chakra.

This chakra connects directly with the pineal and pituitary glands, the crown chakra, the heart chakra and the kundalini. It is the only chakra that actually channels energy into the body.

As the The Zeal Point chakra opens it is essential to work with this chakra and its direct connections in order to completely balance the main chakra system to support the natural healing ability of the body. Focusing only on balancing the 7 main chakras is no longer sufficient.

And as the The Zeal Point chakra opens, many spiritual and psychic abilities expand. These abilities vary from person to person. And there are sometimes physical symptoms as your body integrates these expanded abilities.

You will notice less separation between the dimensions, particularly the 4th and 5th dimensions. Clairvoyance, telepathy, dream recall, healing gifts become more powerful and multi-dimensional communication are a few of the abilities that expand as the Zeal Point opens.

All this may or may not be relevant, and I take some of these claims with a grain of salt, but I think it’s worth working on this chakra point for a while to see what happens.

1 x Spartan today

[bujin]

@bujin

I do wish SC had created that restricted experimental forum category,

It occurs to me that maybe they did, and I just wasn’t invited.

[bujin]

Feeling pretty amazing right now. Extremely happy, almost euphoric. Spent the last hour cleaning my house like crazy, and doing it with a big fucking grin on my face, listening to music and singing. Energy levels are sky high.

[bujin]

I have a sudden and unexpected urge to run Mind’s Eye.

Rolling with it.

[Malkuth]

@bujin

It occurs to me that maybe they did, and I just wasn’t invited.

That’s a good point. It’s possible. If so, I don’t know about it either.

Would be worth sending a personal message or submitting a ticket.

Seems more, to me, like something that has probably not happened yet.

Could any of this be related to Bloom effects from past program runs?

Or is this mainly about your individual response to the frame strengthening and vigor of Emperor or even Spartan? (That’s what I’ve been assuming.).

[bujin]

@Malkuth

Could any of this be related to Bloom effects from past program runs?

I’ve wondered this myself, and there’s no way to tell for sure, but this isn’t the first time I’ve felt like this since I started Emperor. The feeling of energized happiness has been a constant virtually since I started. So I’m attributing it to Emperor.

[bujin]

I’m sitting here and it feels like my navel, solar plexus and heart are all radiating with intense energy.

I’m just watching my cats and feeling so much love for them.
