Awesome stack. That should help with stabilization and reforging. Enjoy your journey.
*Stack until the custom arrives will be GLM + Stabilizer, with a microloop of regeneration thrown in if I feel like it.
Today, just GLM & Stabilizer, for 60s each.
Since this is an emotional healing journal… AND since every time I get emotional-healing recon, it’s in the form of the dopamine rabbit hole, I figured this exchange from a few months ago with @Ravenscout is a great place to start.

Needing to journal on dopamine spirals
It’s been multiple times since starting this stack (2-3 days ago) that I’ve set an intention (and then not done it) to journal on WHY I go down dopamine spirals when I’m stressed, in recon, tired, etc.
I obsess so much about WHAT I’m doing (scrolling, avoiding, etc.) but I never focus on why I actually did it or what I got out of it.
I call it a willpower issue, or an addiction (as if the addiction is to blame externally, and not within me), or ADHD (another externalization) … but all this self-assessment into my dopamine habits and I still haven’t actually asked myself what I get out of it.
So I’ll journal on that momentarily and post results.
Other early results… meditation
Meditation is always a primary motivating force in my life while running GLM. I love this. I love meditation and the deeper philosophies behind it. I spent 150 days in silent meditation centers and much more time at home practicing/reading, and I have a pretty advanced practice…
And yet… I feel like I can’t bring that into my life in a conscious way until I add in GLM…
Without GLM, the changes I’ve experienced from meditating are still life-changing, but I normally feel like every day I’m not heavily engaged in meditation/solitutde, my practice and the results are getting a little bit weaker every day.
WITH GLM, even though I’m not actively meditating or taking that structured displine alone time, I feel like my practice, my meditative mind, is deepening every single day, and I can see that in the way my mind thinks, responds, and operates.
With GLM, I notice a deeper commitment to the PRINCIPLES of why people meditate in the first place - a deeper connection to self, more control over the mind, more joy from stillness, more desire for stillness instead of desire for joy, a preference to experience more profound states of joy alone compared to more shallow states of happiness with social groups.
For that last example, I was at a party with very good friends on my last day of being in latin america, but the party was on the beach and the beach has massive waves, so instead of dancing the whole night, I spent 2 hours dancing and the rest of the time alone walking on the beach, taking in the magnificence of the waves, my entire trip, the night, the moment.
I realized Godlike Foundations include financial foundations and so I’ve added in EOGST2.
Today I listened to EOGST2 and Stabilizer for 30s each.
Yesterday’s results:
Last night I paid down 3K towards debt that I am working on, and over the last few days made a plan to put most of my money towards debt and be completely debt free by the time that I get my raise at my company in october so that I can enjoy the raise 100% worry-free, and move from canada to mexico city with a bigger financial capacity.
I also borrowed a bit of money from my parents to pay down the debt faster. It’s easy to pay the debt off without that loan, but it’s nice to be able to have the mental win of paying it down faster, having some social support, and paying less interest from the debt being lower overall. It wasn’t much of a loan, only about 20% of the debt, but it gets the ball rolling and makes me feel good.
Having that conversation with my mum, it helped me see childhood patterns of how we argued and how I really actually don’t/didn’t contribute to them. My mum’s been pretty much gaslighting me my whole life into thinking that all of our fights are because I’m super aggressive in my communication… i got a lot of emotional abuse growing up and was blamed for it… but I was able to see how calm, cool, collected I was, and how her triggers came out of nowhere AND I was blamed for them for being “aggressive” when I was so unbelievably calm and continually re-inviting her to more pleasant conversation.
The whole experience ^ helped me let go of a lot of guilt regarding my relationship with her. Some grief too, in truly realizing she’s just unhealthy, unwell mentally, and can’t have really adult conversations. Things i’ve known for a long time but tried not to accept because that means i can’t have an adult relationship with my mom because of her mental health condition.
I notice I’m 100% stress free about the debt when normally the stress of it was crippling.
Planning on having a frugal AND hot boy summer and I imagine it to be an extremely fun summer!

I frequently spend time ruminating on the “Magnus opus” of my life.
What is my ultimate project? My legacy? What am I trying to develop mastery in, ultimately? (I’m a very mastery driven person)
What is worth obsessing over, and how can I find that thing so I can harness the power of obsession.
Normally it oscillates between success in the sales industry and success in the personal branding world - I struggle at both because this flip flop leaves me striving for neither.
Yesterday though, I was meditating and an answer came to me that was the DEFINITION of a ST1/Stabilizer thought:
“clean your room”
Not in the literal sense - but in the Jordan peterson sense. How can I fix the world’s mindset problems with a personal brand, or master AI and teach/sell others on how to become wildly successful, if I’m not financing and budgeting properly, forgetting appointments, etc.
clean your room, and then keep cleaning farther and farther outside of your personal sphere of responsibility from there - once your room is clean
The boring shit with the emotional weight of spiritual profundity.

Sunday: 60s Godlike Foundations ZPU
Ran it solo to test it out
Really thrilled my GLM/Reforged/Stabilizer custom is ZPU.
Currently stacking GLM/Stabilizer/EOG2.
Once that custom comes, I’ll be stacking Godlike Foundations + EOG2 + Microloops of Regen (<15s, infrequently).
Will be looking at all the new releases, both major titles and essence cores, and then will make a second ZPU custom.
EOG2 will certainly be in it, and then so far True Sell, Limitless (or ZONE), and Emperor: Art of War or Will To Power seem most interesting - an extremely “external” custom to counterbalance how internal Godlike Foundations is.
EDIT: I forgot how much I like ASC ST2, and it would replace the need for W2P/AOW

First loop was great, I noticed all of my results were quite smooth -
First 24 hours: Normally with recon i feel a heavy impulsivity INSTEAD of results, but, with ZPU, I felt that the first 12-24 hours definitely had that same impulsivity-reaction from recon, but… it was ALONGSIDE the results, making a much smoother experience overall which still requiring work and introspection and self-monitoring to make sure I’m listening to the appropriate amount. I had a main challenge (impulsivity being high) but it didnt take away from the positive experience of the results.
24+ hour results:
-
This is where recon evaporated completely and only the results kicked in. Social prowess felt sharp. The ability and confidence that I could talk to women was pronounced. I felt confident about how I was communicating at work - Reforged is obviously shining here, I didn’t feel this level of social confidence on GLM/Stabilizer alone.

My physical practice (rope flow) is becoming more and more important to me every day, and is the bridge towards me feeling a lot of applied spirituality. Like Musashi training the sword every day and realizing deeper truths from it, I’m practicing with the rope every day and finding it calms me, grounds me, energizes me, focuses my mind, gets me into a flow state, creates the conditions necessary for replenishment and epiphanies and better work. When I feel anxious and overwhelmed with productivity concerns, I go and swing the rope for 30 minutes, and I’m in a much better mental state after having nourished my needs for flow/fun/mindfulness, and I’m ready to work. It also helps me improve my posture, breathing, awareness of the body. It feels like Qi-Gong. I seriously think it’ll be the next Yoga For Men, if it becomes popular.

On that note, I’m considering running HERO, because of my long standing obsession with Miyamoto Musashi and him being the central figure in my entire world-view philosophy that centers around mastery, mindfulness, and the balance of Emptiness and Action.
Support on HERO: Origins Sage & Blade, how it expresses
Hi there,
This is a great question, and HERO: Origins is genuinely well-suited to exactly what you’re describing — the warrior’s discipline and mindset matter far more to its design than the self-defense scripting does. Let me walk through how that side presents and what you’d likely feel.
The warrior mindset in HERO is fundamentally about wisdom through action. HERO Origins is built on the samurai ethos — Bushido and the writings of Miyamoto Musashi (the Book of Five Rings). What makes it distinct from a meditative title is that its whole philosophy is experiential: wisdom is “garnered through action, craftsmanship, cyclic experiences, and the very act of living,” not through sitting in contemplation. The central principle it works from is Musashi’s “To know ten thousand things, know one well” — the idea that deep mastery of a single craft becomes a template for understanding everything else. So the discipline it cultivates isn’t abstract willpower; it’s the devoted relationship a master has with their practice.
A few of its objectives capture the texture directly: transforming daily training sessions into sacred rituals, relentless refinement to avoid plateaus, prioritizing gradual mastery over quick gains, and the warrior’s hallmark composure — “determined though calm,” settled and unhurried even under pressure.
The virtues — and how you’d feel shifted by them. The character core of HERO is the Seven Virtues of Bushido: rectitude (righteousness), courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, and loyalty. The scripting gives each extensive focus — but, importantly, it’s written objectively: it offers the ancient masters’ definitions while empowering you to interpret and embody them in the way that resonates with your own life, rather than imposing a rigid code.
What you’d likely feel from this layer is a quiet sharpening of your inner compass — a more precise, lived sense of integrity guiding your daily actions; a deepening into honesty (with yourself, your word, your actions) and a corresponding falling-away of masks and half-truths; a steadier sense of honor and self-respect. It tends to express not as a dramatic event but as a gradual reorientation: you notice yourself acting more in alignment with who you actually want to be, and feeling more whole for it.
Mission and purpose. The HERO archetype is, at heart, about serving something larger through your own development — becoming someone whose mastery and perspective genuinely benefit those around them. HERO Origins centers this entirely on your path (it’s individualistic, not about charisma or leading others — that’s the Chosen series). The felt shift here is a sense of directedness: your craft and your daily practice stop feeling like isolated activities and start feeling like steps on a single road toward your most evolved self — what the copy calls the “thousand-mile road.” Obstacles reframe as material for growth; ordinary pursuits take on the weight of a vocation.
Daily tasks. This is where it becomes very practical. HERO’s stated essence is “to elevate whatever you do — from the commonplace to the extraordinary.” In daily life that tends to look like: your training becomes ritual rather than routine, mundane challenges become problems you meet with a kind of martial wisdom (calm, strategic, principled), and you bring more deliberateness and presence to the act of living itself. The discipline isn’t something you switch on for practice and off afterward — it bleeds into how you do the small things.
On your Rope Flow specifically. This is where it gets interesting for you. HERO Origins is built around the sword and the warrior, and around pouring yourself into one chosen craft — so Rope Flow could be a near-ideal “one craft” to channel it through. The title’s physical scripting leans into exactly the qualities a flow practice lives on: footwork evolving toward “astonishing agility and fluidity,” strikes mastered through “power, speed, accuracy, fluidity, and energy efficiency,” and “rapid progression in your chosen art, both physically and spiritually… feeling as though channeling wisdom from ancient masters with each strike.” Since Rope Flow already feels sword-like and samurai to you, the archetype and the practice are pointed the same way — the title would likely deepen both your skill and the meditative, warrior quality of the movement.
Two honest things to know. First, the self-defense and survival scripting you’re not interested in is genuinely woven into the title — it actually contains a full, rewritten version of Survival Instinct (geared toward honorable martial prowess), so it isn’t something you can remove. The good news is the scripting is objective and responds to conscious guidance, so you can lean it toward the mindset, virtues, and craft-mastery you’re after rather than literal combat — but the warrior framing is the through-line of the whole title, so it’s worth going in knowing the martial dimension is part of the package even if you direct your attention elsewhere.
Second, HERO Origins is an Artisan-line title — advanced, intentionally potent, and described on its own page as “not a toy,” with transformation to be expected (and overload still possible). It’s a deep, demanding title rather than a gentle one, so I’d approach it conservatively: short microloops to start, generous rest, and patience as the virtues and discipline integrate. Fittingly, it rewards the same gradual, disciplined approach it’s trying to teach.
Best regards, Support Team
- I find my mindset naturally gravitating towards sobriety, from a combination of everything in Godlike Foundations. Not just substance sobriety. I think I’m ready for a period of Chastity… no fap, no sex, etc. I feel … “full” after all the experiences I had while backpacking anyways, so now is a good time to remain abstinent for a while - and then I’m moving to Mexico City to continue the explorer life in around October, so perhaps that’s the natural “End Point” for the abstinence period.

@SaintSovereign will be happy to know that I bought and did a 15s loop of zone.
Once I saw the copy (it’s on the site) I realized it’s ultimately my biggest bottleneck and biggest foundational piece.
So in honor of building Godlike Foundations, I add in ZONE.
EOGST2 is still important but all that insight and knowledge of wealth needs to be APPLIED.
GLM and Stabilizer are all about focusing me so I’m less distracted and more focused at work.
The flow rope I’m doing is literally called a FLOW rope.
And I realized that with EOG2 one of my biggest reasons for listening to it would actually be better served by ZONE - … I need to get good af coding AI/Automation bots fast… with zero experience. That’s a cognitive requirement not a wealth structures one.
When I had my best results in my career my stack was just limitless executive and EOGST1.
Godlike Foundations + ZONE is like the perfect ZPU recreation of that

Time to review the custom
I made it pretty intuitively, so I didn’t remember all the modules. AND, I didn’t do a deep dive into Reforged’s objectives, because I was already listening to it as an experimental.
This last week or two have felt profound, so, I want to look at my modules & reforged’s features, and see if I can pick apart elements of my results from them, since the results are strong but also very subtle and foucsed on alignment - since they’re focused on alignment, they feel natural, and since they feel natural, they’re hard to pick apart from normal every day life (which feels great, like I’m certainly in control of my day to day life and less a victim of external circumstances overall for sure.)
Hmm… a lot of results enhancers, lol! Makes the custom easy to run, at least 
That gives me more confidence that I can listen to all 3 titles together - Godlike Foundations, EOGST2, and ZONE.
Wholeness in Connection alongside the romance and alignment features of Reforged have been kicking into high gear. Met a woman on tinder, had the best 3 hour text convo I’ve ever had in my life, ever, let alone with someone I’d never met.
Went out on a limb and early on in the conversation asked her if anyone ever told her she looks like a sexy Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter. Ballsy. I was rewarded heavily for it.
Wholeness in connection seems to be kicking in there and making it feel like a very rewarding, self-affirming connection with lots of commonalities.
Unlike my last “soulmate” connection from WDB while I was traveling, this one feels similarly aligned, but without any of the internal turbulence. I feel very calm, aligned, relaxed.
@azriel ^ I know u had a similarly tough soulmate run on WDB, reforged seems to bring more life alignment in and attracts people that are fully aligned with you, not just emotional soulmates but perhaps not right for other reasons.
Alignment comes up again and again - on Reforged/GLM I know where I want to take my life. I feel calmer than ever about it. Paying off debt, planning my vision, deep work has become easier adding in ZONE, but my desire to work to accomplish my own goals instead of resolve stress/problems is strong on reforged.
I watched my leadership style Do a complete 180 at work. On my first few days, I felt like the new employee looking for everybody else’s guidance on how to do my job. I did get hired so that in three months I could take over the department that they’re building… but for now I’m just a cog in it.
I feel like the custom kicked in, though, and I snapped to this realization that it’s my department, I need to speak with certainty, and I need to speak and make decisions in a way that shows everybody I mean serious business
Illusion of the Mind
So this is the last one… but I think illusions of the mind is helping me stop stack switching. Over the last few days I’ve been going on dates with a woman I met online. It’s going well.
Part of me wanted to run wanted dream boy to accelerate how fast we connect… but I ended up not running it because I decided I didn’t want wanted dream boys’s help. I don’t want a relationship that needs a subliminal to work. Yes I want her to like me, but, I want her to like the version of me that isn’t listening to any subliminals that are about seduction.
In my last two relationships, I’ve tried solving relationship problems with subliminals. And the crazy thing is it works. But I was with the wrong person and using subliminals to try and put a Band-Aid on that.
I guess it all comes down to that old saying that saint said that we would have to be mindful of as subliminals get more powerful… be careful what you wish for
Kind of like that new movie obsession, where he makes the wish, that she loves him more than anyone else in the world… and boy does he regret it because he didn’t know what that really meant.
Back to illusions of the mind
After deciding not to run WDB, I thought maybe for our road trip today (2nd date, so cute) I could run summertime
Summertime is fantastic, I see why it’s the only subliminal that AlexGraves runs anymore, because all it does is increase your own internal sense of joy and loving life… it just makes the good even better
But isn’t all of this just recon thinking that I need a subliminal to impress a girl that I like? Isn’t thinking about which subliminal is best for her, or her opinion of me, or the quality of our date, instead of what subliminal is best for myself just another form of recon?
So I ended up just running God like foundations

I know you said a bit that EOGst2 has been kinda like old rich in terms of the manifestations, but now that you’ve been using it for a while and feel it’s run its course, could you give an updated account of what the sub has done for you, why you switched off it, and the biggest reason you’d say to run it?
Eventually I want to switch it for Revelation Of Wealth
Absolutely, to preface everything EOG 2 feels much more relevant to B2B then B2C at least in a sales sense, and probably applies to more corporate work environments.
Some of the modules like Client Avatar/Marketing/Conversion Catalyst, strongly apply to B2B when you are involved more in prospecting and researching companies, mapping out buying groups/who you need to speak to, creating messaging via emails and linked in that resonate with those avatars, and then in my case with a 12 month long sales cycle- tailoring that journey. From building curiosity through the initial outreach, uncovering challenges and RoI, demonstrating value on Demo’s, and being able to communicate this all to multiple different stakeholders who are involved in making the decision who and tailor your communication and messaging to them based on there role in the company and day to day challenges. In B2C, those modules just weren’t very relevant, but in my role- all of that is the name of the game.
I have seen a strong increase in those skills- via taking more active interest in learning, building stronger connections with mentors at work, etc.
There are more universal modules, such as the communication, leadership, biohacking, and productivity which I feel just make you a more consistent, and dependable employee (or entrepreneur/leader) that have shifted the way with which I engage in my work. Still, I feel because I go into office a couple times a week, I can utilize these modules more by being the one who shows up early, goes out of my way to help my teammates, networking with leadership in person. All of this is invaluable in a corporate setting.
My performance has steadily improved, but it’s hard to compare from a just “I’m selling better” standpoint, because that really isn’t how my company operates. It’s a quality over quantity environment, where we are already an enterprise sized company, and don’t want to just take on more and more clients, but have specific ICP accounts we are targeting, so it’s a slow process to get the right people at the right time, and more consultative vs we closed or didn’t close the deal.
Biggest result is that I got an interview for a promotion last month. Made it to the final round, and lost out due to someone actually taking a demotion for the position who already worked closely with the hiring manager and just had quite a bit more tenure then me. Was told I had the position if it wasn’t for that, but basically to reapply in a couple months and also reccomended other options for lateral movement in company if I was interested.
It’s helped me to standout at a very large company instead of just blend in, in a pretty short span of time. Most people at my company take 2-3 years before being considered for internal promotion.
I’ve probably ran 2-3 cycles of EOG 2 now, and feel like for my current position I’ve accomplished most of the objectives. To me- that’s just showing up as a skilled, dependable, consistent employee where I’ve demonstrated leadership and competence and I am viewed as someone they’d like to keep and promote. All that said- EOG 2 is very subtle, and organic feeling. These are things where I didn’t notice an instant increase in x or y skill, but over the course of time started to occur almost subconsciously, through trainings, conversations at work, feeling slightly better and eager to show up and give my best. I’d say on the surface, it’s not a very “exciting” title to run, but one I’m glad I’m did and am now seeing the results and all that it accomplished.
I’m running Reforged primarily now as my foundation/long term base, as it is providing basically all of what Emperor does as a strong foundation that addresses all major areas of my life that are important to me, but feels smoother- less recon, and feels to have less drawbacks then emperor in the workplace, and social environments.
Replacing EOG 2 with revelation of mind, because it’s a great cognitive and productivity enhancer for work, and I want to take a cycle to get clarity on my next steps, both career and relationship wise, and to gain a deeper understanding of my purpose. Have been getting more dedicated to my yoga classes as well which it seems to benefit.

Amazing - sounds perfect for the Godlike Foundations run overall. I’m a CSM for a major AI Coaching Program rn (this guy is very closely connected to the “best closer u’ve ever seen” who you connected me with when i sold for that neuroscience coaching program… Shane M & JY built the marriage coaching offer I sell for, and now JY is the guy with the AI coaching program i’m CSM’ing for)
Managing all their clients, building up the CSM systems from scratch, responsible for tracking and optimizing client retention, upselling, results, and making sure we are able to handle clients even when the company hits 500k/mo+
This is a really cool opportunity because THIS will definitely be the company that I am with from 0 all the way to 1m/mo, and the best thing I can do to set myself up for long term stability. From there, EOG2 will help REALLY well for any sort of personal brand, secondary business, or even just building a business within this ecosystem
Recon - my sexual abstinence has turned into sexual obsession, like an addict who’s gone clean and then starts using again.
Results - awareness of that pattern
(I’ve also been running a lot more of EOG2 + ZONE than Godlike Foundations, which may be causing the reduction in abstinence thinking - a very unusual mindset for me that probably needs subliminal support to be maintained in the short term)
90s Godlike Foundations
- realizing how important it is to aim for stability. Had a lot more recon adding in eog2/zone even though I thought they were light. So will keep the stack light! Just godlike foundations for now, and when I’m ready, carefully adding ONE title to the stack starting very slowly with microloops
30s Emperor Black
Continuing the slow and steady search for a cognitive enhancement + productivity title that will help me in this role and believe EB may be the best option yet.
If this is too much, then LE
EB hit hard, fast and with precision.
EB + Reforged (+GLM/Stabilizer) first impressions…
Sitting alone in my room, completely undistracted, unrushed, unhurried, consistently chipping away at task after task.
I’ve spent all day in the biggest dopamine spiral of all time… smoking, sexting on instagram, swiping on tinder, 6 cups of coffee… i was in a recon spiral, craving the connection of women & the pleasures of play…
EB stabilized that, and allowed me to do the in-solitude work that I need to do to heal what Reforged has to heal, and what Essence: Inner Spa has to heal, and find the stillness that GLM has to offer, and spend time stabilizing what the Stabilizer is helping me with…
Now… now I’m just a man in a room, removed from time itself. I would feel exactly the same whether it was 2pm or 2am right now, and I’m not thinking about the past or the future, I’m just… existing… but my existence is defined by my “doing.”
EB compliments this stack perfectly. It may be the perfect compliment to healing titles for me, as I usually crave connection, stimulation, and distraction as my primary recon-symptom.
