I’m currently on washout this week before I start Stage 3 of Khan. I had run through all the stages with the ZP V2 version of Khan and even though I did about 8 months of it, I wasn’t prepared for this new re-write.
I remember being a week into Stage 1 and wanting to drop the sub. That was unheard of for me, since the last time I ran stage 1 for 2 and a half cycles and it was a pretty smooth ride. Eventually after the first week I settled out and the rest of my ride on TB was easy. But as others have wrote about, Stage 2 actually kicked my ass. It was hard, brutal in some ways, not so much that I fell apart, but brutal in the sense that I always felt this inner push to either evolve or quit.
It’s hard to explain something like this without sounding dramatic and or accurately convey the feelings. I will say, by the time I finished my time with Stage 2, I felt a need for taking action and just going for everything I wanted.
It’s then that I also realized why in the copy they strong recommended going through each stage for a cycle. By the time you finish a stage, you’re already priming for what’s coming next.
Previously, I ran Khan and coupled it with EoG and Khan Black. That was a ride. But in that instance, I was also running 3 multistagers as part of a stack.
This time around, I’m still running three subs, but, not in the same way. I’ve been running Khan with Stark Black almost exclusively. And I can see the clear indications of what is happening uniquely to each of those subs. Stark Black is smoothing out some of the edges of Khan while also opening other doors for me.
In lieu of Ascension Chamber, and thanks to @Plutus, I am running Mind’s Eye once a week as my third and final sub. I only started Minds Eye this past Cycle. I believe as I run Minds Eye more, and as it is due for an upgrade soon, I will be curious to see how the new Minds Eye transforms my experiences with Khan and Stark Black.
But, to get back to Khan, I can’t say enough about this sub. Especially this re-write. There is a sense of discipline and change that I am actively experiencing both physically and mentally that I never experienced with any of the subs I ran previously.
I would say for those that take the Khan journey, my only advice to you would be to stick through the journey and get to the end of it. Don’t bail on Khan after Stage 2 if you’ve already gotten there. For those that just wanted to use Stage 1 to clear the emotional decks, I think is one way to use Khan. But if you have gotten through Stage 2, you should make up your mind to complete the journey, as stated on the product page. It really is built this time to be more progressive, unlike the previous version of Khan that I used.
I think in closing, one thing I will say for my own experiences until now is, using Khan and SB, with Minds Eye, I don’t feel FOMO. I see a lot of the subs that have been updated, many of which I currently own, but I have zero desire to run anything outside of my current stack. Dare I say, I feel like I found a stack that I can run with for the long term. I say this also because it’s easy to run these subs and just get what you want.
I’ll close this post out here. For those that are on the Khan journey, understand how transformative of a process this is. For those on SB, I would say the same. For the few of us that are on both, I salute you all and I look forward to sharing the stories of fame and glory on the other side.
Ad Gloriam Et Honorem.
