Embracing the Emperor within

Hello to all the members of the SubClub forums,
I’m new here and you can all call me Invictus, I’ve been chilling around the forums for a while now due to a friend of mine who recommended me check it out like 2 weeks ago, and it’s safe to say that this place has really piqued my interest.
I’ve started using EmperorQ around a week ago (today’s my 2nd rest day on the 5on2off method) and I wanted to start my own journal here as I would like to keep track of the changes I see, as well as help anyone out on here if they require any help.
a little backstory: I’ve been using subliminals and binaural beats for almost 7 years now, for all sorts of things, they helped me make decisions that I needed guidance on, helped me become an extrovert and even helped me change physically to some degree. Now I wouldn’t say that I know everything there is about subs and BBs, but I do consider myself highly knowledgeable and experienced, so if anyone has any questions, i’d be happy to help :slight_smile:

anyways, during my first week, these are the changes i’ve noticed so far:
(P.S. I decided to test it out for a week before I make note of the changes since I wanted a more objective view and did not want to label every little thing as a result)

1- my posture, way of talking, way of sitting and even the way of greeting people has changed in a way that makes me seem and feel like I have nothing to fear, have no need for anyone’s validation or kindness, nor do I feel like I have to talk or behave a certain way just because of other’s fragility.

2- been noticing that i’m very straightforward with what I want and what I don’t want. I used to be very submissive, in the sense that it was very hard for me to say no, like for example, if someone needed help with a uni assignment, I would put mine on hold just to help them, or if I was out with a group and they wanted to eat somewhere where I didn’t wanna go (i’m a picky eater), i’d still go and would not speak up, this does not happen anymore.

3- My productivity levels are higher than ever. I’m already somewhat of a genius (144 IQ) however, I suffer from ADD which often makes it hard to do things in one go because I just can’t focus. since using emperor, I have done more work without losing focus (finished my dissertation which i stopped writing after 4k words, in just one night).

4- the tone of my voice has changed somewhat, in the sense that there’s a lot of calmness when I speak and I don’t rush my words out, and I also stopped talking just for the sake of talking.

5- finally, I’ve noticed that if I want to do something, like go to see my gf, go get certain things for myself, or even go out on a drive alone, I don’t let anyone stop me, no matter what happens, my mind just tells me that my goal, that I set for the day, is the only thing that matters.

in terms of recon, I’ve only noticed it once when I was playing my favorite video game (league of legends), an online team based game, and my whole team surrendered even though we could have won easily, and that made me so irritated and angry, unlike any other time before.

Thank you for reading, i will update more whenever there are new changes, but I still don’t know if it would be better to update weekly or daily, so any input would be appreciated.

Excellent pick of subliminal to run, i am also running emperorqv2 and i noticed many of the changes you wrote also applied for me.

tell me, how many loops do you run per day?

I try to keep myself away from obsessing over results, as that can happen due to listening too much which leads to unrealistic expectations, that’s why the maximum number of loops I allow myself is 3, and even then, I try to only do the third loop if I felt like I have time.

first day of week 2:

  • had a conversation with my university supervisor for my dissertation today and he commented on how I seem to be more confident with my work and told me that he sees new potential in me (don’t if it’s just the aura I’m projecting or the way I was talking, but a nice update nonetheless)

  • my dad seems to see me more as an adult now rather than just his kid, mainly noticed it earlier when he was talking to me, his tone was much different than ever before.

  • generally feeling like emperor is giving me a better sense of what’s right and wrong, as well as making me stand by my ideals more, noticed it more when a friend of mine was complaining about his dissertation and ended up buying it, because of which I lost all respect I had for him.

week 2 update:

  • personality wise: been feeling calm most of the time, sometimes I get this feeling of being the king walking among peasants, but at the same time, I sometimes feel too irritated, impatient and annoyed with others.
  • Aura and people’s behavior: at first I didn’t really notice much, or so I thought, but lately I realized that I’ve been hearing more "sorry"s and "thank you"s from anyone who interacts with me f2f, as if the last thing they wanna do is disappoint me. another thing that happened is a few days ago, I was eating in my car outside a take out restaurant and this one girl was on her car next to me doing the same, but when I got out of the car to throw the trash in the trash can, she started to take a picture of me for some reason, so I went up to her and told her what does she think she’s doing (note: I used to be very passive and would just let these type of things go because I didn’t like confronting others) and she told me she just found me hot and was sending a snap of me to her friend, to which I told her to not do that without people’s consent and shut her up when she asked for my number, I don’t have time for any girl other than my own, especially when they’re not confident enough to properly talk.
  • lastly, I feel like emperor is giving me a deeper sense of gratitude and responsibility, as well as a better sense of right and wrong, which I like because honestly, I wasn’t the best son, friend, brother or boyfriend, but all that is changing a lot.

one issue
I feel this incredible amount of pent up irritation from things and people when something isn’t going my way or people are just straight up wasting time, like my girlfriend was talking to me last night and I love her a lot, but at one point I was waiting to watch a movie with her (on discord stream cause cinemas are closed and lockdown is somewhat strict rn till more people get vaccinated) but when her mom came to talk to her, even though it was just for like 10 mins, it was really pissing me off because I was getting impatient and frustrated, so if anyone is reading this and feel/felt this way on emperor, i’d like to know how you deal/dealt with it.

Emperor influences you to be really productive. Too productive such that you don’t like time wasting. You just want things done.

I felt this myself running Emperor in my stack and in my work.

Solutions wise I am thinking less Emperor loops, rest days, self-control (easier said than done).

the thing is I recently finished university and there’s still quite a bit of time till my graduation certificate is given to me, so till that happens, because of which I can’t apply to jobs either as in my country, the national citizens have to apply through a ministry, and the main requirement (the certificate) is not out yet, so I basically have nothing but free time, especially with the lockdown, so I have no idea what to do. I recently bought a new game that i’ve been wanting to play for ages (The witcher 3) as i never played it before, but even though it’s right in front of me, I feel this resistance when I try to play, so that ain’t working either.

So after quite a bit of thinking and self reflection, I came to the conclusion that emperor isn’t what I need rn, and I will come back to it when I get my degree certificate in a couple of months and start applying for jobs.
For now, I bought stark and I will be hopping on that since that really aligns the best with my actual personality.

As a league player myself, i hate it so much when this happens. I’m curious, have you observed any changes in your skill or mentality in lol throughout your sub usage?

Currently I’m using wanted and I find myself very carefree with how I’m playing, like I take more risks with dives and engages and overall it makes me see my mistakes better.
It has also increased my confidence with blind picking or playing bad matchups smartly, however it won’t turn you into a diamond level player overnight.

I think there’s a lot of info and skill to obtain (from micro to game knowledge and many more…), which makes it very unlikely for such a huge improvement overnight. Unless one can transfer core concepts from other similar competitive games.
LoL being my first competitive game, the subs have already helped me a lot to finally get out of gold after years of being hardstuck. :sweat_smile:

Confidence is essential in league, so that’s already great and not letting a matchup tilt you already in champ select etc.

I did notice that using BLU before playing is really helpful as it can impact your decision making skills, like your macro gets better, and I’ve had a day where after using BLU, I had a 9 game win-streak, so maybe try that.

I’ll keep it in mind to add BLU whenever I’m in a better financial situation again.
Thanks for the recommendation!
