Stop it, take a few days off, and play something else.
Sometimes, its just not the right time for a sub title.

What lion said, contemplation, self compassion, gratitude, time in nature, energy healingā¦ Its one of the most important subs you can go through and such a process is not meant to be easy even without subs the nature of this process is such.
Playing less time loops or adding a gentle supplementary sub like love bomb or sanguine

Always use a sub not for the sake of using a sub, but to help you reach a specific goal you have in mind. It focuses your subconscious. If you donāt do congruent actions, youāll be hit with recon. The whole reason we are supposed to do some easier subs before Dragon Reborn is to give us the direct experience of what recon looks like for us personally and to already have a toolbelt of remedies available in our knowledge base before we begin with DR.
DR is tough, there is no way around it from what I know.
When recon comes up, pay close attention to the content of your mind. Often there are clues as to what it is working on in that specific moment. Try to resolve it by calmly thinking about it, or writing down all of your associations. An exercise I came up with during Stage 2 is to do a personal Q&A in a word file. I start off with a concrete question that is related to a goal I am working on. Something like āWhy do I fear change? How do I open up to change?ā or āHow do I unconditionally love myself?ā and then I answer the question myself. I find that I always already have all the answers I need. I then turn what I found in my mind into exercises I can do everyday until I feel my attitude changing. Then I move on to other weak points.
Most people will tell you to take a break, lower the loops or to use Sanguine/Love Bomb to make the recon more manageable. But at least personally, I find it useful to not try to avoid the pain, because it exists for a reason, namely to draw my attention to what needs to be reconciliated. Iāve been using Love Bomb for 5 months already, so I am acutely aware how it helps with contemplation and turning inwards a lot on one hand, but also can make you too complacent on the other hand. But I find that change sometimes only comes from aggressively confronting what we donāt like to confront, because long-standing assumptions we hold about reality are difficult to change, even with these godlike subliminals. It sometimes requires intense contemplation and questioning, along with new reference experiences to affirm changes. Itās a tough process of one part of your mind convincing another part of your mind that what your mind used to believe might not be true and counterproductive to the goals of a fresher part of your mind.
Now that I am about to get into Stage 3, there is also that feeling of in-betweeness, where I am not quite sure in what place I am, because I have not fully transcended part of my old reality yet, and one foot of mine is already in a new reality. That can feel quite weird and for that I have no other remedy than to have patience and trust the process.

Iām completing ST2 this week, Iām wondering should I go right into DR Gold right after ST4.

What really intrigues me is that it was mentioned that one could alternate the titles at the same time! ST 1 DRR then next cycle you do ST 1 DRG and work your way through both titles like that. Thatās how I plan to run them.

Perhaps, however each stage in DR Gold has other benefits I would like to benefit from.
Maybe, but my perspective is that I can benefit from both titles concurrently and for me thatās a really exciting proposition. Thatās all I meant.

Understood, both amazing titles, dramatically less recon than I had in OG DR.
Iām two loops into ST2 and Iām still manifesting the weirdest situations that are not pleasant. Some extended family got in contact with me after 5+ years and I did a small job for them as a favour and since then theyāve harassed me constantly via text, phone calls and banging on my door, basically demanding that I help them with other work. This is why I distanced myself from them in the first place and it has picked up exactly where it left off. Sometimes itās not worth doing people a favour, even family.
Iāve settled into 5-minute loops, and I donāt seem to be getting much recon, maybe some tiredness and anger on occasion, but Iām also easing back into digital / dopamine detoxing by reducing different activities which could be throwing me off too. Iām trying not to do too much at one, and Iām being kind to my imperfect self. DRR is certainly a butt kicker in many ways. It feels like itās manifesting situations I normally do my best to avoid but Iām forced to face them. It could be coincidence though, Iām not sure if the new tech works that way or not, I kind of remember reading something about it. Iāll keep running it either way, it feels like Iām making some progress in the way Iām thinking and responding to different people and situations. Kind of less fearful and more, I donāt really care too much. I blocked 4 of the mentioned family members on my phone, I just canāt deal with it on top of everything else. Itās best to it remains as it has for the past 5 years up until recently.

The cycle of DRR2 is done (including the washout) and I thought I would share my experience of it before moving on to DRR3:
- My journey through stage 2 of DRRED was largely healing of things that I feared the most while when I look back at stage 1, that stage was healing of things that made me sad.
- It took some time to realize the difference between ST1 and ST2 (for me) since the recon was so strong during those cycles that only during the ST2 washout bloom could I reflect on the results.
- Things I was sad about were my lack of freedom of movement, my disabilities, financial situation, need for validation, etc. These were things ST1 released through recon and working through them.
- Things I feared the most where jail (an extreme loss of freedom), dying without leaving a legacy (extreme case of not being validated), not being able to afford to go where I want to (extreme financial issue), etc. ST2 helped release a lot if not all of these.
- From the last two points (3 and 4), I could make out how deep the second stage went into me. It dug into the abyss to bring all the ugly things out and there were times when I had to put on a brave face to not show the emotional turmoil I was going through.
- And the fear was so great that I also had to make a custom midway through the ST2 cycle to offer myself some protection. Made myself an LBFH + Survival Instinct X custom to make me feel safe in case someone comes to deal me serious harm.
- That last point might feel extreme but something happened to me around the same time Invictus was dealing with his jail issues and I almost ended up in the same space (in a different country). And there is still a possibility that something could happen if I am not careful.
- And itās not like I even did something illegal but India doesnāt have a good record of doing things right which is why I took my time to make a decision regarding it thanks to ST2 when at first I didnāt know what to do and felt sure that I made the right decision after I did so.
- Am being purposefully vague here but the important thing to know is that DRR will help us to make difficult decisions and what to do to protect ourselves from the dangers of the world. The growing maturity also helps us to be realistic rather than idealistic about things and treat the world for what it is rather than what we want it to be. And then make choices based on that knowledge. Most probably all this fear will be nothing but shadows in the cave but now am mostly at peace with myself no matter what happens.
- I had also made a LoTS + PC custom to keep myself in good health and will be running the two customs I mentioned in this post along with my cycles of DRR3 and DRR4.
- Am looking forward to DRR3 making things easier for me in terms of my mental state since it has scripting that will give us a larger view on life where our troubles and challenges will feel insignificant compared to the greater universe and help us see that things arenāt so bad (nor too good) as we go about life.

This mirrors my experience with 2 cycles of stage 1, sadness, loneliness, loss and a lot of melancholy.
Yesterday I started stage 2.

I realized i was in some kind of partially self imposed dark comedy for a while back during phenixā¦
@Lion anyway thanks for sharing your experiences and results with dr red really puts things in perspective and understanding.
With start of dr st3 i had some really cool manifestations of gifts, even tho my financial situation has been fked for a long while, things i needed still came through even some positive surprises.
One recent was more of a khanblack manifestation which i stopped listening months ago.
Its crazy unexpected, how people in our circle may have suprising knowledge and skills that can help us.
