same. I’ve been on RICH for 6 months but haven’t run it for more than 3min lol
I see it as a very long term thing. I like to think of duration to correspond with certain milestones. Like, you know, a millionaire would have an easier time running 15 min of RICH than some broke student barely making ends meets
Man, I remember looking into subs like ten years ago and you had vendors saying run subs for 8+ hours a say for 6 months. Bro who has the time
Edit: you also had to layer two tracks. So it wws a pain to run on a phone
Absolutely. You hit the nail right on the head. I found that out with EOG1. All of a sudden when I bumped up to 3 minutes I was getting angry AF and it wasn’t making sense why until a reoccuring theme came up concerning wealthy people I hadn’t heard since I was a kid.
With PEACE I find my sweet spot is around 5 minutes. I know 5 minutes isn’t actually part of the base recommendation on incremental increases but when I bumped up to 7 minutes I was getting some internal turmoil that was intruding into daily life.
3 minutes was good but seemed too light to me. So 5 was almost half the difference between 3 and 7 so I tried it. 5 ended up being the Goldilocks. Was still bringing things up lightly but working through them effectively and not intruding on my daily life.
Ultimately every title and person is different. Then when you stack a title you were doing fine with, with another title, it could bring something up and you have to run it in smaller increments.
No action necessary. Like Summertime, PEACE asks nothing of you. Just viiiiiiiiiiiiibe.
From qOS:
PEACE + Emperor: The Executive. These two share a vocabulary that makes the pairing unusually clean: Executive’s subtitle promises effortless execution, and PEACE’s signature feature is Effortless Action — full engagement with none of the added strain. Executive supplies the machinery of output — Lightning Task Initiation, the Hyperfocus Engine, Dopamine Mastery that rewires satisfaction toward progress itself, and Endgame Drive so everything started gets finished — while PEACE supplies the state that machinery runs best in.
Executive explicitly aims to decrease neuroticism and produce a “focused, calm, in-the-zone flow,” which is PEACE’s native territory: The Quiet Axis keeps your pulse even mid-demand, and The Clear Room empties mental clutter the same way Executive’s Zero Fog does, so the two reinforce each other on clarity from both ends. Executive’s Terracotta Mindset boundaries pair with PEACE’s The End of Contending — the no gets said without the armor — and Executive’s Timeflow Calibration and Bioclockwork, which match work to energy and treat rest as optimization, land on ground PEACE has already prepared through The Wellspring, where rest becomes a source of clarity rather than a blank in the schedule.
The net effect: Executive’s relentless drive stays relentless, but it runs on PEACE’s Knowing Enough — you may find yourself executing from fullness rather than chasing, which is precisely the sustainable, friction-free output both titles are aiming at from opposite sides.
PEACE + HERO Origins: Sage and the Blade. HERO Origins is named for exactly the polarity this stack completes: PEACE deepens the sage so the blade cuts cleaner. Origins draws heavily on Musashi’s instruction to be “determined though calm… your spirit settled yet unbiased,” and PEACE’s Rooted Like the Mountain and The Quiet Axis are that settledness made baseline — composure that doesn’t need the situation’s cooperation.
Origins already carries its own serenity scripting, so the two reinforce rather than compete there, and the reinforcement pays out in Origins’ perception work: its anticipation of an opponent’s movements and heightened clarity under pressure benefit directly from PEACE’s Living Stillness, the stillness that sharpens the senses instead of dulling them — low inner noise is what lets subtle signals register. The craft-mastery core of Origins (“to know ten thousand things, know one well”) converges with PEACE’s Following the Grain, which is drawn from Zhuangzi’s master cook whose blade stayed sharp nineteen years because he cut along the seams — two traditions describing the same principle of mastery through unforced precision, now working on you simultaneously. PEACE’s The Water That Carves gives Origins’ decisiveness a settled source, its Soft and Supple, Never Brittle mirrors the fluidity Origins builds into footwork and technique, and The End of Contending — Zhuangzi’s empty boat — pairs naturally with the bushido virtues’ discernment about which conflicts deserve you at all.
The result may be a genuinely integrated warrior-sage development: skill and virtue from Origins, wholeness and stillness from PEACE, each making the other’s work easier.
PEACE + HERO Origins + Emperor: The Executive. All three together form a clean three-layer system: PEACE is the ground, Executive is the engine, and Origins is what the engine builds. Executive gets you to the work — initiation, focus, completion, the daily hours logged without friction — while Origins transforms those hours into craft and character, turning training sessions into what its copy calls sacred rituals and stacking layers of skill toward mastery; the handoff between them is direct, since Executive’s Endgame Drive closes every loop and Origins’ relentless-refinement scripting immediately opens the next, which is the mastery spiral in practice — finish, refine, repeat.
PEACE feeds both layers at once: The Wellspring supports Executive’s energy-and-recovery calibration, Living Stillness supports Origins’ perception and composure, and Effortless Action keeps the entire system running without the strain that high-output, high-discipline stacks can otherwise accumulate. It’s also a coherent portrait of discipline expressed three ways — as instinct in Executive’s Born To Execute, as devotion in Origins’ virtue and ritual work, and as non-striving in PEACE’s wu wei — so the three titles may read to your subconscious as one philosophy rather than three agendas.
We have a prototype for a 5 minute loop, once or twice a week. 
No microloops necessary. Just listen and go. Not ready for production or testing yet. More of a proof-of-concept.
and reap the same benefits as standard titles?
That’s the goal. But we’d have to test it and the such. Not ready for that. We’ve changed listening patterns too many times in the last two years. ZPU is very stable (as you can all see). We’re just gonna keep things stable for awhile. Focus on upgrading titles rather than developing new tech.
After like… months on PEACE, I finally experienced recon from it. While ZPU is much smoother than earlier tech, we must still remember that these are very powerful titles. Interestingly enough, the recon resolved very quickly. All I had to do was put away the computer and phone to get some genuine sleep. Woke up in a very energetic, peaceful (pun intended) mood.
Has anyone taken a washout from PEACE yet? I want to see if our experiences matched up.
insanity lol
yeah I think a lot of people still aren’t ready for such. A lot of folks still seem to be struggling with accepting microloops completely. I got completely used to it only recently…
I’d go mad with listening once or twice per week lmao, I’m still feeling a bit weird about adding more rest days. I can’t explain why that is
Man this is such a big one one. When I do get recon now, which is rare- I realize I am almost distracting myself from sitting with the emotions via doomscrolling, tech, etc- soon as I take some time to just be present it typically clears.
Part of it is the idea of “more being better,” and the fact that the West in general has a culture of extremes – more, more, more, go, go, go (I am not immune to this, I literally burned myself TF OUT with developing True Sell). It is difficult to break this pattern, as we’ve been conditioned by this notion for so long.
I’m in the process of now of creating a stable routine for myself, which should help.
It is, man. And the algorithms aren’t helping. I’ve been reading a lot of humanitarian content lately, and guess what all the algorithms are showing me? You can guess. Racial tensions, political tensions, tensions between the genders (boiiii, the discourse surrounding this Lindsay Clancy case here in the states), and while I consider myself quite stoic and resilient, PEACE has granted me a deeper insight into my inner state and I’m starting to realize how much irritation and frustration – however subtle – is being quietly absorbed from all this mess. Eventually it starts to show up in my body as burn out.
Valid. Folks are still confused about the whys and hows
Would it be optional or a new default?
A very brief one, ending this morning. I have noticed:
Similar kind of situation, evolving from me running ZONE alongside it during crunch time in my degree/Cert IV. The same type of struggle to find the balance point you mentioned where the potential of burnout looms and PEACE slaps you on the butt and says “go get some rest you idiot!”.
:: Shrug ::
It was a proof-of-concept (can it even be done). We’ve got so many prototypes of things that were never used or shelved. This could be shelved as well. I’m interested in what is best for the customers, and that’s it.
Ask me next year. Right now, people have been waiting for upgrades to their favorite titles. That’s all we’re focused on.
I seem to spontaneously take washouts from PEACE after a couple of weeks or so, which is unusual for me as I am normally consistent in my listening schedule. I just happen to forget to put it on.
As for my experiences, I’m not sure what to say other than I’m pulled into complete disengagement from anything that isn’t necessary, which apart from the practical things that keep my body alive is pretty much everything (for me right now). I very much welcome it because it’s been needed.
But I remember I had once a nice experience at a park right after I listened to it. I was looking at the sun and the surrounding nature, and it was so pleasant. More so than usual.
It tests you to show you how far you’ve come, situations may arise. Peace really is evident, so much that others around you may question your non engagement.
Update- spent about 5 mins on social media after work and that was enough for one day 😮💨. The algorithms and propaganda are getting out of hand lol.
