First time Custom Advice

Questions and Comments

Hey guys, first time building a custom, could use some help @Forum_Ambassadors

I just want self love, spiritual development, and emotional/somatic healing

That’s my goal for this custom, and I want to run it for a long time

Here’s what I’ve got so far -

Cores
Revelation of Mind
Revelation of Spirit
Love Bomb for Humanity
Khan Black Stage 4

Modules
Everpresent
Formless Clarity
Path of Forgiveness
Deep Sleep
Emotions Unfettered
Chosen of Venus
Depths of Love
Love Without Attachment
Natural Winner
Steadfast
Stonelike
Iron Frame
Joie de Vivre
Starfilled Night
Gratitude Embodiment
Faith Unyielding

As you can see, it’s HIGHLY spiritual with a ton of spiritual modules, and mostly centered on spirituality and emotional healing

Issue is, I built it before even looking at the Revelation of Spirit and Revelation of Mind cores, and those say to be very very careful about building a custom with those cores and too many spiritual modules

So I’m kind of lost now, I don’t know if I just reduce the number of modules in this custom, or if I add different category modules, or what. I don’t want to make something that’s kitchen sink, and I am attached already to the modules I chose haha

Any advice? @AnswerGroup

4 cores may be a bit much. Especially when 2 are RoS and ROM. Even just those 2 together is pushing it.

I’d break this into 2 customs. Or do one custom and run store titles for whatever got left out

I’m really not good with customs at all but I’m gonna say you’re gonna be hit with hella recon with this amount of particular cores, especially the ones you’re using.

Yeah jumping straight into a 4 core, 20 total module custom is definitely kind of crazy lol

But I see so many amazing modules that would gel together perfectly for this that it’s hard to resist haha

Overloaded.

What it needs is not another module; it needs Trust.

Trust in Action
Trust in Conscious Guidance
Trust the Program Cores

Re-read the descriptions of Revelation of Mind and Revelation of Spirit.

You could remove: Everpresent, Formless Clarity, Path of Forgiveness, Love Without Attachment, Gratitude Embodiment, Starfilled Night, Faith Unyielding. And possibly Joie de Vivre.

Love Bomb for Humanity could be removed too.

Then you’ll only have THREE HIGHLY-DENSE Program Cores.

Revelation of Mind, Revelation of Spirit, and Khan Black. Are very dense and cover a lot of ground. But they’re also highly compatible and synergistic.

So, could they work together? Yes. Beautifully. But it would be best not to load them down with too many additional modules that cover similar ground.

You don’t want to buy a beautiful luxury car that is too heavy to move forward when you press on the gas.

Read the program descriptions for your intended cores…

Slowly.

Then, winnow.

I’ve always seen Saint saying that it’s ok to have modules that overlap with the cores you’ve chosen, because all that will do is reinforce the scripting. Do you think that could be the case here or will it truly be overload?

#7

The problem is not the overlap. It’s the overload.

I don’t know if it would overload, but I suspect it would.

How long have you played those Major Programs separately?

#8

I did RoM for I believe one cycle, maybe two.
RoS I did for three cycles.
And Khan Black St4 I haven’t gotten to yet, I’m still on Stage 3

Considering your advice, and thinking twice about having too many dense cores, here’s my revised list -

Cores
Revelation of Mind
Revelation of Spirit
Love Bomb For Humanity

Modules
Deep Sleep
Chosen of Venus
Depths of Love
Natural Winner
Stonelike
Iron Frame
Pragya

Then I can have Khan Black Stage whatever in my stack, and maybe Genesis too for the Joie de Vivre effect

I’m guessing that out of all of those, you’ve run Love Bomb For Humanity the longest?

And it seems that (appropriately enough) you love it?

And then you’d play Khan Black alongside by itself in Major Program form?

#11

I have actually barely run Love Bomb For Humanity, to be honest.

I have a tendency to sub hop, but developing self love is a top priority of mine, altho I think the recon from LBFH makes me swap it out whenever I have it in a stack.

I just want self love, spiritual development, and emotional/somatic healing

That’s my goal for this custom, and I want to run it for a long time

#12

That’s the idea, yeah. I realized having KB in there is probably not necessary

#13

What about two customs?

One for Unfolding and Evolutionary Development: This has the cores Revelation of Mind and Revelation of Spirit.

The other is for Energetic Transformation and Empowerment (Sexual, Emotional, Self-Love/Love Energy): This has the cores Khan Black and Love Bomb for Humanity.

Then you could just take your favorite modules and assign them to either custom as appropriate.

I love this idea!

But then the Unfolding custom with the Revelation titles will basically only be spirituality modules. @AnswerGroup is this OK?

#15

Revision 2. A little kitchen sinky but still focused on self-development, without too many spiritual modules

Cores
Revelation of Mind
Revelation of Spirit

Modules
Deep Sleep
Chosen of Venus
Depths of Love
Natural Winner
Stonelike
Iron Frame
Pragya
Power Unleashed

No. Spiritual modules are already covered by Revelation of Spirit. Trust it.

But it also depends on what you mean by ‘spiritual’ modules.

I mean modules like Formless Clarity, Starfilled Night, Wheel of Creation, Spiritual Freedom, and so on.

I’m running a custom right now that has Revelation of Mind and Revelation of Spirit. I also took the risk to add Genesis as a third program core because I love how my mind interacts with it.

In that custom, I’ve added other modules related to innovation, teaching/supporting/healing, personal expression. Because those are aspects of my soul vision.

Those are good.

Now the next step is to walk with the module-ideas for a while, and see how they resonate with your daily lived experiences and your personality and nature. Take it out of your head (a bit) and carry it into the world.

You’ll probably get a few more inspirations and intuitive nudges about how to tweak it. The more that it fits with who you are and what you’re doing (and trying to do), the more organically, smoothly, and naturally it will run.

That’s a damn good idea.

I thought to add Genesis as a third core too, also love what it did for me. Best stack I feel I ever ran was RoS & Genesis

What modules do you have in your custom?

Yeah I think I have to sit with it longer. All the first modules I chose are all about VIRTUE DEVELOPMENT, very few about expression or any particular action. I don’t mind a thick virtue development custom, just gotta pick the right ones that don’t overload the Revelation titles

Genesis, man…

I’ve been running it since June 28, and it’s barely scratching the surface and getting started. I do not have a very active dream life, but the first night after I ran it, I experienced a transformative, immersive, paradigm-shifting dream. So…I’m in.

It’s Standard ZPv2 build.

Program Cores: Revelation of Spirit, Revelation of Mind, Genesis
Additional Modules: Entranced, Eagle Eye, Empath, Mercy Protocol, Way of Understanding, Whispered Power, Chiron, Story Teller, Polyglot, Ultimate Writer, Trailblazer, Technological Prodigy, Instant Business Tactician, Carpe Diem Ascended, Victory’s Call, Mountain Breaker, You Are Not Alone.

Those are a lot of Additional Modules, but… for every module from Entranced to Mountain Breaker (in other words, 16 modules) I had already run them for 12 months in Terminus2 and then QTKS build. Even with that, however, I can see that Empath, Mercy Protocol, and Way of Understanding are already covered in Revelation of Spirit. Those three could be jettisoned if need be.

My second custom has a total of only 11 modules, and I’m happy about that.

Yes. And Revelation of Spirit covers a lot of virtues if you read the description closely. Patience, Hope, Faith. All there.

And it bears restating. Trust in your mind’s own power of Conscious Guidance. With titles as rich, adaptive, and versatile as the Revelation programs, your own conscious guidance is going to be a very powerful factor in the equation. For those who want to use them, these are Master Key programs. Those programs do not need a lot of help from other modules. So what you choose should be based on those areas in which you would like a little extra help or emphasis. (Hope that makes sense.)
