Been seeing this topic of micro loops pop up every once in a while and the theme is that everyone wants to find the exact number to start with, how much to increase and subsequently how long until another increase.
Somewhere in the life span of ZPV2 micro loops started to emerge as a concept to reduce recon. Some subs such as DR:LD were too strong. And then the Revelation series started suggesting using micro loops officially.
Now in this NSE era micro loops are essential as most subs and the general response and the underlying motivations behind those responses are the following:
A: I prefer full loops, might reduce exposure if on certain subs in order to accommodate energy level / how good the sub is working and recon levels. ( I will do it my way and will adjust if need be )
B: Oh micro loops are important? Well time to start reducing and experimenting in order to find the sweet spot. ( I am open minded enough to experiment in order to achieve better results )
C: Oh micro loops are important? This explains my recon/lack or results and i have to find out more information about this. Maybe ask around in order to get better / faster results and less recon. ( This just might explain my issues and finding my right spot could be the what makes or breaks it. I need get the right exposure )
D: Oh micro loops are important? Well this explains my lack of results or strong recon! Therefore i need to find the exact perfect sweet spot for me. Moreover i need to know exactly how and why they work? I need to find the perfect answer for me since i am not happy with my results ( I am getting no results / lots of recon. I need the magic pill that saves me and it has to be precise and perfect for me since I’ve been getting no results upgrade after upgrade, sub after sub its all the same. Next one is it… If i get the magic pill or magic number of the perfect loop for me THEN it will work… )
Now the type of reaction and behavior around this topic sums up the type of person and their type of results. I too tried to find the perfect sweet spot for me which lead to an idea: If i need the perfect spot to get what i want then i wasn’t going anywhere to begin with… out of the 4 responses, who do you think is making most progress?
Same applies for " If get the perfect sub for me, the next upgrade and THEN it works " and someone saying that… will keep saying that all the way to ZP5 and until we reach The Matrix level of " I know Kung Fu ".
I’m in my second cycle of Total Break Down and i am realizing just how much I’ve been depending on subs to change things for me, and outside forces in general. In order to change your personality, results and life you shift from one identity to another slowly…
But what if " I am improving and and on the journey " becomes your identity? In essence if you attach yourself so much on the progress and mental masturbation of change be in reading books, subs etc. you become an eternal " I am on the way " instead of being on the way. What if somewhere along the line we become content with the fact we are on the way since it gives the illusion of progress? It is the sweet spot for 95% of you that is the same thoughts, patterns and behaviors that loves the known and comfortable and just enough for the 5% of you that thinks its doing something about it.
In all honesty running a 3 min or 5 min micro loop is not that different if you are on the way. If the 30 extra seconds or 1 extra min is making such difference then the issue might just be you are not taking enough action OR you are subconsciously content with where you are.
Just like every post, rant or advice i give. They are first and forward directed towards ME and it is something I’ve personally had to deal with or think about. I have no intention to offend or hurt anyone in anyway, i just write things that might help others just as others write far more interesting things for me to learn from.
When we get past the perfect loop, perfect upgrade and perfect sub that is where we realize that we are indeed the mystery and the answer. But for those who cant get past the loop things just build Cores of choice with Pragya and maybe Wayfinder . Finding the exact sweet spot will not make the difference you think it does, just as much as the next upgrade or sub will. All those elements and even Custom Subs by extension only serve to make the journey smoother and faster. By QV2 the subs were already beyond the point of life changing! Stop waiting for the next thing be it sub / event or piece of information.
" So what’s up?
And what’s your dream, boy?
Is it money, is it girls, is it silence when you sleep?
What do you seek?
You already got that.
No sub even needed you were born from a king
You’re like a perfect mystery…
But can you solve that? "
Edit: This post does not mention or talk about general forms of over exposure be it from sub hopping, not allowing the process que to clear up or not doing washouts.
