Is this recon, overload, or something else?

Hello,

I’ve been having a strange but interesting feeling lately from subliminal use, I’m struggling to understand it so I want to ask for some guidance here. I’ve been listening to Primal and am halfway through my second cycle. On my first cycle I encountered what I consider pretty “standard” recon with amplified negative thoughts, frustration, moments of low self esteem, etc. stuff I’ve felt from other subs in the past. But also decent results in terms of socializing and being comfortable with women.

In my second cycle, that standard recon had reduced a lot. Results have slowed down a bit but not too worried about that. I’ve started getting this weird feeling that I’m not exactly sure who or what I am. I’ve started feeling more like a collection of thoughts and experiences than a person; that’s the best way I can describe it. I’m aware of my physical body, but my mind just feels like more of a bunch of concepts/ideas/thoughts/feelings/ and other intangible things put together than just the mind being “Me”. I don’t feel bad about it, just… different. Is this good?bad?doesn’t matter?

Thanks

That’s pretty normal.

The dissonance you’re experiencing means you’re changing faster than some parts of you can keep up with. If it feels too uncomfortable, try using shorter playtime, more rest days, or shorter cycles.

Yeah, sounds pretty normal. It’s supposed to help you find your true self, and now your realizing how little of you is actually “you”.

My 2 cents anyway.

Thank you, do you think there’s anything I can do to dig deeper and figure out what those parts of me exactly are?

If you ran TS with the new recon tech it would help you with that a lot. It would also amplify the results you’re getting on Primal as they address similar issues.

This. It’s commonly reported in any discipline that can be considered “shadow work,” or “healing the inner child.”

Whatever you cleared during that first run of Primal Nights was some kind of fear or internal limitation that impaired your ability to operate, and yet you subconsciously internalized as “you.”

Once that’s cleared, there’s a short period where one may feel “lost,” as that defining subconscious belief is no longer there, as you’re no longer limiting yourself to belief that no longer serves your interests.

This is a time of high opportunity for you, as you now have the power to set a new narrative before society crystallizes a new one for you (which most likely isn’t aligned with your own aspirations).

To set that narrative, simply engage in some authentic self-exploration to tie together all the disparate ideas in a way that fits you. Go out a bit more and talk to people, gain experiences and then deeply contemplate upon them, as this will allow you to create those new defining beliefs yourself. Please note that this window will close quicker than you may think.

This form of recon rarely lasts over a week, as the subconscious is going to return to a state of relative balance and will do so by selecting a new narrative, and as I stated before, either you consciously select that narrative or you’ll unconsciously grab on to some societally defined narrative to run with.

So, first — try to determine what inner beliefs or attitudes that dissolved, helping you get better results with Primal Nights. Was it a feeling of inadequacy or issues with self-worth? Then, start trying to redefine who “you” really are.
