Does it matter? Just run emperor if you want to now …… or run reforged
They have enough to update and remake without being pressured to update other stuff

With all of the technology advancements is it possible that khan black could become a one or two stage title?
I got too much analysis paralysis when it comes to four stage titles that have linear progressions.
I feel the excessive need to stay on the first stage for far too long. And then when I get recon in the second stage, it only reinforces the belief that I should stay on the first stage for longer.
Then the idea of staying on a multi stage title’s first stage for multiple months on end… preparing for benefits instead of getting benefits … become so daunting and removed from my immediate needs that bring me to the title in the first place that I end up not listening to the title entirely
I love Ascension two stage model - am I fully ready for stage two? If not, run stage one. The fact that stabilizer is a perfectly valid title in and of itself AND lay the foundation for stage two is especially good. It takes away the need that I have to progress to the next stage until I’m truly ready.
For KB I imagine this stabilizer/ascension model would work perfectly…
stage one helping you get a sense of sexual stability and stability within your energy channels, controlling your online and in person, sexual habits, alongside lightly slowly growing your capacity to receive energy and growing your energy channels
Stage two for when you’re ready to express that stability, deepen sexual spiritual energy practice, and start admitting the aura and expecting the results typical of stage three and four

Kinda doubt it with KB. Separating the healing/purification journey from the fortification and attunement one, and then ST3, just makes sense.
Also I think the earlier stages are underrated. I’m tempted to do a rerun myself. It’s too easy to run the first two stages for only a cycle or two and not milk all the value out of it (pardon the metaphor, lol)

This is true for all the multi-stagers. People are always in a rush to get to stage 4 and stay there, but ignore the deep work the earlier stages do that enable the later stages to express properly.

There’s really no way to know until Emperor is ready. Just relax and wait.

my point exactly - that’s the challenge i was wondering if a 2-title solution could possibly solve.
And perhaps even in the first of a two-stage title, the healing could be coupled with a lighter but still potent version of the energy amplification found in 3/4… like an all-in-one version of KB that is beginner, and then a second version that is advanced

I understood what you meant, and my response was about the very distinct difference between the purification and strengthening stages.
If you understand what the copy talks about by “purify your energetic channels”, and why the psyche healing needs to take place before anything else, you’ll get why you don’t do the subtle-body-building straight out of the gate. Feelings of unworthiness, or imbalanced direction of the sexual energy toward lust or porn, or even anger about past sexual relationships, or disgust about human sexuality, etc, all of this needs to be addressed first so that the energy of the five elements in the organs is balanced or you’ll just be amplifying an existing imbalance. The channels are the paths between the organs so this first stage deals with clearing the muck out of them and also dealing with any emotional or psychic imbalances. If you don’t do this first, the actions taken in stage 2 could aid in amplifying a process of imbalance, or be ineffective at best.

I would love this as well.
Whenever I run KB, it is either Stage 1 or Stage 4.
Stage 1 for healing. Stage 4 for boosting energy.

Nothing i hope.
Can’t wait to run this solely! I have a feeling this will be my staple.
That makes me think of Sanguine.

Good eye. This was one of @Fire’s concerns and one of the reasons we hadn’t released it yet. We are ensuring that there’s a strong enough differentiation between Sanguine and Peace to justify the new SKU.

To me, Peace seems like the Eastern equivalent of Sanguine’s Western ideology.
I was re-reading HERO: TLTB Stages 2 and 3 and with features like Gateway Of Breath, it seems to me that Mental/Emotional Mastery aren’t just states to experiences, they’re skills to cultivate. Peace is something to cultivate while Safety/Ease (sanguine) is more aligned to relaxation to me. Go all in on making PEACE a serious spiritual title, without worrying about making an accessible version of it that every single person could feel the peace on. Lean into the eastern esoteric, lean into the cultivation of that. I see Peace like the deeply spiritual version of HERO/GLM, which isn’t something that’s in Sanguine, that seems more like a psychological safety or at least a psychological experience in general, rather than a Dhammic/Spiritual one.
Also I need Peace to complete my Dokkodo Journal Emperor Black, Warrior Monk: The Path Of Walking Alone (A Spiritual EB + Eastern-Philosophy-Inspired-Titles Journal)

Edit gdi someone got there first
Edit 2: Starting to think whether or not to do another cycle of GA or Do Khan + Emp Reforged. I love GA but I really want to run Khan/Emp/Wanted again. Idk there was something about that combo time ago which was amazing.
