ASBR/WB/BL was a great combo with the old BL but i am sure with the new BL not had a chance to fully test. Anyone tried that stack ?

This seems to me like a life and phenomenon question more than strictly a subliminals question.
There are many varieties of practice within the overall category of ‘spiritual work’. And in every single case, without exception, the core(s), seed(s), or pillar(s) of a practice or orientation can serve as a structural support/motivating impetus or as a distracting, distorting, obstructive influence.
In a (meta kind of) way, the very point of ‘spiritual practice’ can be seen as: to seek, establish, cultivate, and deepen alignment in some domain of living or process. Expressed metaphorically: To ‘grow a garden’ within various climes, biomes, niches. In the desert, one may develop a sand or rock garden, in the rain forest, a different sort of garden, and so on.
So there are analytical ‘streams’ within ‘spiritual work’, devotional streams, service streams, intrapersonal stream, interpersonal streams, verbal streams, nonverbal streams, mundane streams, psychedelic or trans personal streams.
None is more inherently ‘spiritual’ than the rest; but all present their unique features, characteristics, and dynamics.
For some people, the compulsive insistence of cognitive analysis will be too strong of a force to ‘harmonize’ into unitive alignment. This is not the ‘fault’ of cognition itself, but may have something to do with that person’s current relationship to analysis and cognition. From that person’s point of view, Analysis and Intellection are ‘not spiritual’.
‘Just can’t wrangle that particular bull. It’s too powerful for me right now. As soon as I sit on top of it, it carries me away before I even know what happened.’
So maybe no Zen or Jnana yoga for that person.
They may find that, for example, karma yoga or community work or service projects somehow do the trick better. Or devotion to an idealized relational figure/object (in the ‘real world’ and/or imaginal). Or just repetitive routinized work tasks. Or some combination of them. Or something else.
For others, cognitive analysis will not overwhelm the system, or ‘run out of control’. They will instead, facilitate a balanced regard and contemplation of boundaries, limits, phenomena, and ongoing unfolding evolution. Or something else.
So in a sense it’s a bit of a personal or temperament-salient subject.
