Going back to basics with this and progressing through 90 days of each stage and then I will access where I am at from there. Trying not to be in a hurry or make any impulsive decisions to switch subs. Just doing the work .
Yesterday May 27th 2022 I started Dragon Reborn Stage 1 so on June 17th 2022 I will do a five day washout before another 21 days.
Running one loop every other day
Wish you an excellent run šāāļø.
Good luck on your dragon journey brother, im loving dragon atm. It really does clear you outā¦ Look forward to following if you will be journaling here
Good luck i am also loving my dragon 
Thatās what my main goal is. After my 90 days of each stage I plan to run Ascension for an unspecified period of time. Build a solid foundation.
The criticism I have received on here is a bit justified as I probably should be in a very different place after four years of the subs.
Awesome , same exact plan im doing now. Building a strong foundation then get to the fun stuff like khan, stark, ascension etc. And thats all good, all the matters is now you have a clear vision of what to do. I think most of us here are guilty of switching around subs constantly at first , your not alone with that
Great plan man!
Here is to your rebirth! 
This encourages me James. I too have been here almost 4 years, and Iāve switched up or bailed out on plans numerous times myself. Iām doing a year-long run of DR myself now. Something Iāve liked about the long-term listening plan is that it allows me to relax and not fearfully focus on acheiving results. The issues needing to be faced just pop up by themselves, when theyāre ready.
But DRās done work Iām not even aware of yetāand I didnāt have to be mean to myself to achieve this (which is my old way).
Iām starting Stage 2 tomorrow after 4 cycles of Stage 1. Looking forward to it, but nervous. Part of me is still feverishly trying to hold on to old ways. Thatās just a scared boy inside fearing the worst. Itās alllllllll gonna be ok.
Best of luck on your Dragon rideš
Amen from the Amen corner. I am in that number.
I sometimes think itās weird to go back to something so foundational as Dragon Reborn but I know that with everything I have gone through in my life the one overriding desire I have had is to resolve the trauma that caused me to sabotage myself more times than I can recall which isnāt novel or mind blowing by so necessary.
I donāt know if I am looking to understand my past any longer so much as almost craving the ability to let go of literally anything and everything that no longer serves me in any context. Not exactly revolutionary but often easy to overlook as cliche as that sounds
Some things may not be easily answered or answered at all for that matter. Just for my own mental and emotional health I find myself thinking or feeling that an unhealthy attachment to certain things or people has gone on far too long and needs to be resolved.
The main one being is hoping to somehow resolve and reconcile any and all issues I have with both sides of my biological family. I say both because my parents divorced when I was two years old and there is quite a bit of unresolved issues with both sides. Questions that I either know the answer to and havenāt been able to accept or donāt want to know for my own sanity
For so many years I would voice how I wanted to do this work but I was never really that emotionally invested and often made the excuse of being curious as to why it felt like I had to be the only one as far as I knew when I would see and hear about people around me being just as messed up as me if not worse. Deflecting blame and responsibility so often.
Itās the reason my life isnāt currently the way I so often wish it was. The more I do the work I understand how or why parts of my life ended up the way it did.
I know that this is part of why I am going to r4 each stage of Dragon Reborn for no less than 90 days. I really want to dig deep and eradicate everything that has held me back from being an emotionally mature adult
I find that one of the secrets to doing a plan like this is toāonce youāve clearly set your intention and the steps to followāfind other compelling things to focus on and to busy yourself with.
The mind craves a bit of drama and if you donāt choose what drama to feed it, itāll start picking, by itself, from whatever happens to be close to hand.
So sometimes I try to give it something else to chew onāa chew toy. Other times I canāt be bothered or I just canāt think of anything, so I just deal with it.
I have been thinking about it and once I work through the anger and irritability I can see myself being a more quiet and bigger introvert than I already am which isnāt a bad thing
Iām actually really starting to understand on increasingly deeper levels how all of the problems in my life have all been related to trying to be something Iām not and thought I had to be because of immaturity and insecurity.
I could easily be comfortable with being an introverted minimalist
Iām working through Dragon Reborn ZP per the recommended listening instructions. At times it feels like itās hitting deep because the anxiety is unreal. Not disabling just right at the forefront.
At times I get frustrated because I am always curious as to how much more I have to dig up and work through.
Given my current situation and other things itās apparently a lot
I was running two loops of Dragon Reborn ZP St 1 every other day but given how I have felt the last week or so I thought I should drop one loop at see what happens. Nothing like feeling your personal growth is going ridiculously slow.
I understand that in the updated objectives for Dragon Reborn that itās stateās " less is more".
I wish someone could explain to me why taking things so slow accomplishes anything?
I sincerely wish @SaintSovereign and @Fire would give me more insight into their reasoning for going slow with Dragon Reborn
How slowly are you taking it? If youāre going by the recommended listening approach, I think thatās actually faster than what you were doing before when you stayed on DR st 1 for many months. But I might be missing something.
Should? Man, everybody is different an everybody evolves at their own pace. Who said your pace is slow? Nobody but you.
Everybody evolves at their own pace and everybody feels their progress is slow and even the slower the further youāre on your path.
As of right now with switching to just one loop every other day that is the slowest I have gone
I have been so incredibly angry and irritable the last week but especially the last few days
Now I get it.
One loop every other day.
Yes, compared to two years ago, itās a very, very different amount of exposure.
ZP is just so much more concentrated. -
I wonder if this is a good sign. I guess time will tell.
Try to process the anger if that seems appropriate. I donāt mean explaining it. I mean kind of feeling it, experiencing it, talking to it, and letting it talk to you.
Iām in the middle of some Dragon Reborn changes myself right now. Iāve said in the past, it feels like my heartmind is āClosed for Renovationsā or something.
