@SubliminalUser I was thinking earlier how it probably wouldn’t hurt to run Dragon Reborn with Love Bomb.
100% agree! As tough as it was, im so glad i commited to DR as my first sub. IMO DR seems like most important sub subclub has to offer, it indirectly affects everything you do afterwards, and this kind of shadow work really just makes your entire life just better and more enjoyable.

This combination really helps make DR a lot more managable. After some tough recon we all just need to feel a bit of love lol.
Yea. As much as it is against recommendations, DR would be an amazing sub to run first. If someone told me years ago when I found subliminals to run DR before anything else I wonder where I would be now.
Not to worry, I’ll get there soon.

Right there with you. I still at times wish I would have had Dragon Reborn 10 years ago. I would definitely be in a very different place
@SubliminalUser As for why I don’t run Dragon Reborn in it’s entirety that is sort of a difficult question to answer at the moment. I feel at times that although I have gotten incredible results I feel like at times allowing myself to be more vulnerable emotionally has left me open to those that would take advantage of it. On the plus side running Dragon Reborn has helped me calm my emotions infinitely quicker to the point I rarely get super anxious anymore. I still struggle with my age a lot and the never ending feeling that I am rapidly running out of time which unfortunately creates a high level of urgency. Maybe continuing with Dragon Reborn would help me let go and be patient. Enjoy the process instead of feeling like it has to be all right now

Ironically, switching from DR early creates that even more because it’s something not done!
Glad I have stuck with it all these months and that I am starting ST4 in a few days

I’ve taken about 3 weeks of DR during my ‘healing crisis’ and then just kind of drifted out of it.
I believe DR stage 2 has been processing and executing greatly in this time and I can agree.
There is a sense of the flavor of that stage still churning and healing things the good and the ugly. Part of me doesn’t want to go back but I will go back and complete stage 3 and 4 as I think that will be key in fully moving out of this background flavor.
Same here. It’s bullshit, by the way. Intellectually, I know that. Even, intuitively and instinctually, I know that. But so what? Apparently, I’m still fine with struggling with it periodically.
I guess I kind of get it. Doubt. Doubt looks at me like, “@Malkuth, have you read my name? It’s on my f**king collar. I’m Doubt. What do you expect me to do?”.
So, sometimes, you gotta just let doubt doubt. That’s kind of his thing.
Anyway, the time and age thing is one of the reasons that I included Khronos Key in my custom. I knew I needed a bit of help with my relationship to time.
I think other natural counterbalances to Doubt are Joy, Enthusiasm, and Engagement. That’s why people who push too hard and work themselves to the wire often end up paying for it on the back-end. Nerves have myelin sheaths surrounding them. Engines have their engine oil. Hearts need their joy and enthusiasm. It lubricates the whole thing. So you don’t overheat from overly intense determination.

So often I feel like my biggest struggle with Dragon Reborn is defining for myself what mental and emotional maturity is. I can read articles about it all day but I am not joking when I say I don’t feel like I have ever experienced it firsthand.

Retrospective on ST3. It’s definitely the best of the 3 sub-stages.

@SubliminalUser I just read it and after my two day break I am going back to running strictly Dragon Reborn. What you tagged me on is probably accurate

Sometimes I seriously feel that Dragon Reborn has sort of societal healing in it because the more I heal myself the less interest I have in doing whatever someone else is doing

It DEFINITELY has societal healing in it.

Small testimonial to the power of Dragon Reborn.
I was running St4 for around 5 months in a custom. Now I just found this old journal of mine, where I was writing down all my fears and traumas that were holding me back. Let’s see how much changed

wow this is huge- congrats…and thanks for posting these specific accomplishment from DR.
I recognize myself in some of them and more confident and motivated to finish DR then ever.
Always get value from your milestone recaps.

That’s awesome dude. I’ve had issues with those same exact fears you’ve had. I’m definitely better about those now but it could definitely still use some work.
Did you jump straight to putting ST4 in the custom? Or did you run ST1, 2, and 3 individually beforehand?

I was in a really bad mood this morning and just ran a loop of Dragon Reborn St 1 and I feel better. Keeping the loops on this under two five days a week
