That’s an interesting take.
Couple of thoughts, slightly different angle, similar conclusion:
[Sorry for the wall of text in advance.]
I used E:E and now use E:E (rebalanced).
At first I had the feeling that E:E brought stronger results than E:E(r), but, reflecting upon it, they are just slightly different in two ways: With E:E (w/o anti-recon) the hurdle to take for results was just higher, so more energy/movement was put into it (while still landing on the same spot) and the results with E:E(r) are, well, more balanced, so while I had happy 14 hour work days on E:E, it’s now 10-12 with quality relaxation. Way more sustainable. As results with antirecon are more natural they often IME don’t feel as striking, because they just don’t stick out (anymore).
That being said, I totally agree with you regarding The Push.
For one: When all the hurdles for growth are lowered already, a strong push (as energetic as Khan oder E:E) would bring us much further on the trajectory. I sometimes feel when there isn’t enough movement forward I just fall back into old structures and habits even though there would be the readiness to move forward, but I don’t know exactly where to. ZP is quite self-referential in a way.
And on a related second note: When I used DR:Regeneration, I chucked out an incredible amount of baggage in a very short time, without any kind of recon. But after a couple of weeks, I felt the “empty spots”. The subconscious was asking like: “And now what?” (More on that: Logbook Through the Starlit Sea (Schedule, Results, Mood & Currents) - #403 by TheGreenMan). And these moments are a big chance for change IMO. Very receptive mind. Very open to new ideas and a lot of movement.
I had an incredibly strong hunger for direct input. Not the self-reflecting ZP input (this is shorthand), but more along classic (Q) sub lines. Sorry, if this is all a bit fuzzy. Kinda difficult to put into words. If this could be brought together, it would be great!
For me most subliminals have broadly 3 phases in their use (similar to the old 4stager concepts):
Stage 1 is healing, Stage 2 is learning to handle your tools, Stage 3 is moving forward.
Just fantasy footballing here, but I would kinda love to see ZPU moving into a direction with 2-3 different subs for the 3 stages. (I know more SKU/subs are bad, but bare with me for a minute.)
Healing is the most poignant aspect: Once you dissolved all the hurdles/wounds/traumata regarding the subs’ topic, well, they are gone. And with the tech from DR:Regeneration they are gone incredibly fast. There isn’t much necessity to keep on listening to the healing scripting.
Let’s say every product line gets a healing title based on DR:Regeneration and the NGAF scripting from WDB:
E. G. EoG: The Golden Spa focussed on all the wealth related problems (wealth ceiling, selfworth etc.) and total relaxation mixed with The Love of Gold. (I suspect mixing total relaxation with a unique aspect will work quite well.) or WANTED with The Mirrored Spa dissolving a bad selfimage and mixing the total relaxation with radical self love etc.
These would be perfect preperation for the actual sub and it wouldn’t take too long. (Would some people skip the warmup and jump right in? Sure they would.) And it would eliminate the danger of the healing taking over the whole stack: It would be organized in cycles, with a time for healing and a time for action.
Learning the tools isn’t as clear cut. For some subs (e. g. the whole RM line) the NSE/learning the tools will IMO always be the most critical aspect. For others… not so much. If you’ve learned to let go with the AoH, you can let go. Or the Daredevil line: One could argue that you will always be able to refine and master social skills even more, to become an even better orator or storyteller but the most important part then is IMO the energy/push/motivation to get out, orate and tell your stories. Then again: With this extra energy/push/motivation you would have more opportunities to learn with the NSE.
This last paragraph isn’t fully thought through. I would love something like an Execution Booster as @Bobby called it, a relentless push forward (wasn’t ZPU originally a union of ZP & Q?) and some RAIKOV scripting in addition to the Zero Point, for more inspiration from others.
