Custom just arrived. Will play from tomorrow, starting at 1 loop per day.
Victoryās Call is insanely effective, especially combined with Emperorās push.
Iād elaborate, but got shit I want to do.
Later.
Just a quick update.
Victoryās Call makes it effortless to get things done. Whereas normally Iād think about whether I need to do something now or can leave it, with Victoryās Call as soon as I see something that needs doing I do it without giving it any thought at all. It seems to remove that feeling of aversion to doing something that can lead to procrastination.
But it also feels like I was wasting too much time on here, so Iām reducing my time here significantly.
Been listening to Emperor custom + EOG1 the last few days. Running them back-to-back 15m each gives me a recon headache, but running them separately during the day is more effective and allows that feel-good Emperor effect to shine through.
Spent yesterday looking forward to all the work I wanted to do on my property this weekend, and Iām heading out to do that in ~ 15m after I finish my coffee. This custom makes it really easy to just do stuff Iāve been putting off for ages, and even makes me want to do it.
I wonāt introduce it for a few weeks, but Iāve decided the third sub in the stack will be my Alchemist/Sage Immortal custom.
I also donāt have a timeline for progressing through EOG, Iāll switch stages when I feel itās right. The way I see it, the longer I run each stage, especially stage 1, the easier and more effective the subsequent stages will be. So no point in rushing through them to get to ST4.
Having run the Emperor custom for a week and a half, I can say it has nowhere near the positivity and happiness of the Emperor + GLM stack I was running before, but it makes me much, much more productive. While the custom has Emperor, itās diluted by the other modules, and it doesnāt have GLM.
Maybe if I alternate the stacks Iāll find a happy medium?
Day A - Custom + EOG1
Day B - Emperor + GLM
Itās probably worth a shot.
Iām planning to continue running subs daily for another week or so, then take a 2 week washout. Hopefully then, after saturating myself for almost 2 months, Iāll finally experience some decent bloom.
And if not, itās still useful data.
Iām running this today, but this is just to see if it helps with a better overall balance between positivity and productivity. I wonāt continue with this after the washout, since I want to bring in Alchemist as the 3rd sub.
Wondering whether I should use my Alchemist ST4/Sage custom or just restart Alchemist from stage 1 and run through that again. Last time I did that it was either Q or pre-Q, I donāt remember which. I think maybe pre-Q. So could be interesting running through it in ZP.
This didnāt seem to make any difference.
But yesterday and today I dropped back down to 7m each of my custom and EOG1, and today BOOM - that beautiful euphoria hit me again.
So it looks like if I go with daily exposure then 15m of each is just too much.
Good to know.
On Wednesday I start my 2 week washout, and when I start again Iāll go with a more settled stack and listening pattern and dial down the experimentation.
No significant bloom so far. No recon either. I feel fine, in fact some of the extra productivity and positivity from Emperor has remained, so it seems my baseline levels have increased a little. Thatās good.
Iām thinking that 15m is my daily ZP limit, whether Iām running 1 sub at 15m or 2 at 7m.
But Iām not ready to stop with the experiments yet. So Iām thinking about 2 options when I restart:
Day A: Emperor custom 7m + EOG1 7m
Day B: Alchemist-1 15m
or
Day A: Emperor 7m + EOG-1 7m
Day B: Alchemist-1 7m + Spartan 7m
Note for the second stack thatās regular Emperor not my custom. With 4 titles thatās already a diffuse stack, and the custom would make it even more diffuse. Iām planning to continue running the subs every day, taking rest days only when I feel I need them. Seems to be working reasonably well for me so far. But it may not work so well with 4 major titles. Only one way to find out.
Iām taking another week or so washout before restarting.
Havenāt noticed any real recon or bloom during the washout, so Iām not sure if thereās any point in doing the full 2 weeks of washout. I guess I may as well restart my stack this weekend. Thatās still 1.5 weeks washout completed, more than enough it seems.
Iām wrapping up my washout and restarting the subs today.
But Iām not 100% comfortable with the proposed stack. Emperor, EOG and AL are certainties. But if I have a 4th, should it be Spartan? I absolutely love Spartan, itās in my top 3 subs and I really want to get back to it, but I keep thinking it doesnāt quite fit in my stack right now. Reluctantly I think I should listen to my gut and drop it.
Perhaps AA or SB as an alternative? Both are light and should pair beautifully with AL.
Either that or stick with 3 subs for now.
Iām going with AA for now, so
Day A: AL1 7m + AA 7m
Day B: Emp 7m + EOG1 7m
Sticking with a daily listening pattern.
Iāll review in a week or two and adjust if needed.
So no bloom or recon, and after the first 3-4 days of washout there was no sense of processing going on either. Iām thinking this means that my level of exposure was basically on point. This is why Iām continuing with the same pattern.
However optimal exposure will differ for each sub, so this new stack may require an adjustment. 1-2 weeks should be long enough to get some idea if itās needed. Right now I want to prioritize execution, and recon interferes with that, so Iām aiming for an exposure level that provides noticeable results with minimal recon.
Holy crap.
I was going through some stuff in storage, and I came across the āGod Helmetā I bought from Dr Persinger, maybe 14 or 15 years ago I think. It ended up in storage when I moved to the US 10 years ago, and I completely forgot about it.
Gonna have to play with it again soon. Hopefully it still works ok. The hardware should be fine, but I donāt know if the software still runs ok under Win 10.
Correction, I bought it off Persingerās research associate Todd Murphy. The invoice is still in the box.
Unfortunately the software doesnāt work on my Win 10 computer, even in compatibility mode, the last supported version was Win 7. I emailed them to see if I can get an updated version.
For those unfamiliar with the āgod helmetā, it uses switching magnetic fields in a particular arrangement around the head to trigger mystical experiences.
Shakti!
Yep! Have you used it?
Todd Murphy just sent me the updated software but stupid Norton 360 is giving me grief.
Never did. Was too much money for me at the time
Looks like some of the cable splitters are broken on my shakti. Ordered some new ones plus some new cables just to be sure, but that means I wonāt get to play with it until next weekend. Oh well.
The stack exposure level feels a bit high. Also it feels rather muddled, I canāt distinguish the subs very well. So Iām considering trying an alternative listening pattern - keep the stack but just run 1 title per day with more rest days, to (hopefully) better experience each individual sub.
Day 1: Emperor
Day 2: EOG1
Day 3: Rest
Day 4: AL1
Day 5: AA
Day 6: Rest
