My thoughts on Recon and why I absolutely love it

Questions and Comments
#1

Hey y’all. Hope you’re doing well. Had a recent experience with reconciliation and it inspired me to write this article for you guys. These are my views on the differences between recon and overload, and how I personally tell the difference between the two. I hope this can help somebody else in their own SC journey

Recon vs Overload: a good workout vs injury
I’ve been what I would consider a gym rat for several years now. I treat my time in the gym as visiting my own personal strength temple, both for physical AND mental health. I’ve trained my brain to associate the gym with complete life transformation; not just physical, but mental, emotional and spiritual transformation. While I’m resting between sets, I give my mind permission to wander through it’s corridors and reveal it’s deepest secrets to me. Seriously. Some of my biggest mental breakthroughs have come when I’m dripping sweat and catching my breath

The reason I tell you all that is because I’ve started treating recon like it means that I did a really good subconscious workout. To me, you only get stronger when you push your muscles to a point of NEEDING to recover. That’s what recon is for my subconscious. I’m forcing it to get stronger by putting it through a workout. Recon is a sign that my subconscious “muscles” are recovering from their “workout”

Using that same analogy, I see overload as the subconscious’ version of pushing your body too far and straining your muscles, sometimes to the point of injury. You didn’t stop when you knew you should have, maybe due to pride or hubris, and because of that, you strained your subconscious “muscles” passed what they could realistically handle. That’s why you feel so sluggish and tired, and caffeine or similar simulants don’t help that much. Your mind needs time away from the “gym” so it can repair itself.

Why I actually love recon, and my biggest trick to overcoming it

With all of that being said, the biggest reason I wanted to write this article is because I know how serious recon is, and like I said above, I hope that sharing my experiences with it will help somebody else improve their own SC journey.

I have come to actually enjoy recon in it’s own special way. Don’t get me wrong, being irritable and grumpy isn’t fun. But now that I know what recon is, and thus I’m able to identify it almost immediately, I go from grumpy and irritable to happy and joyful almost instantly after recognizing in going through it. To me, recon means I’m actually responding well to the scripting in my stack. It represents growth, and further development of the parts of my life that my current stack is designed to improve

As soon as I realize I’m in recon, my bad mood lifts almost immediately, and in it’s place is a sense of gratitude and appreciation. Also, I’ve found actually vocalizing that I’m going through recon helps a LOT. Actually saying OUT LOUD “Oh, I’m experiencing recon right now.” helps A TON. It’s the fact that acknowledging it takes away so much of the struggle because I then know it’s not something I need to worry about anymore. I put a name and face to it

Anywhosies, I hope this article helps at least one of the people reading it. Have a great day y’all. Stay happy, healthy and safe :metal:

I’m currently in the middle of a Love Bomb, Ecstacy of Gold 1, Executive Emperor cycle. Took a looooooong time reading through countless posts all over the forum about all of the different titles that I’ve purchased so far, (I’ve spent well over $1000 at this point on titles, every cent was well spent) and compared and contrasted the benefits of each title to pick my current stack

Love Bomb was chosen because I read multiple people’s testimonials to how life changing it is, and how it acts as a sort of supercharger for the other titles. They are not wrong. But the biggest reason I chose it was because I’ve been a people pleaser my entire life, always putting others needs above my own, never standing up for myself, never believing I was “worthy” or “deserving” of love and success

Ecstacy 1 was chosen for very similar reasons to Love Bomb, but the main reason I chose it is because my biggest goal in life right now is to achieve complete financial independence. And again, multiple testimonies say that it lays the ground work for any future wealth/success titles and makes them hit harder and faster. I’m planning on running every stage of EoG for 2-3 cycles each, back to back for the rest of the year

Executive Emperor was chosen specifically to help me overcome my procrastination, my ADHD paralysis, to reset my dopamine pathways, and hopefully help me finally kick my porn addiction once and for all.
(Sidenote for anybody reading this: NO SC title has helped me make more progress with my porn addiction than Dragon Reborn: Limit Destroyer. I set back to back porn free streaks of 40+ days on it the last time I ran it)

Nice to reat you’re doing well with subs my friend.
I’ve run both titles for the same reasons. EoG1 is a foundational title for me as well. Worthyness Recalibration works pretty well. I’ve noticed a lot of development in the ways I think about money, earning it and jobs.
I’m running it since release and plan to build it into a custom next week once my ticket got answered. Then I’ll run it longtime, probably at least until the end of the year.

And now that you mentioned it, I’m running EE as well since it’s release, and my impulses on PMO are at a low point.
EE is the core of another custom I’m planning to battle my ADHD.

I wish you the most success with your EoG run.
How did Vibes work out for you?

If I’m feeling very tired and lethargic do I continue listening or take a break for awhile? I have a certain urge within myself to listen again but at the same time I am feeling very exhausted in my life energies.

It has been I think almost three days since I last listened. Yesterday I slept for 14 hours lol.

Since I am using the first stage of Khan Black I am noticing a lot of energetic things within my system and I have been feeling like I am purging something. I am feeling very drained and want to rest a lot.

Taking dips in the ocean has been very supportive for working with the emotions and relaxing though. I feel electricity moving through my body all the time in different places it is quite pleasant I must say.

But no desire to do anything. It would be nice if I could purge to a degree where I am still down to do things and not just be in a stasis.

I also feel like a massive amount of changes are taking place within myself but cannot quite grasp what it is.

If you don’t mind the lethargy, continue.
If it hinders you from taking action & living your life, take a break.
Find the sweet spot that works for you.

That’s a recon, don’t overexpose yourself to subs.

Try taking extra rest days/shorter loops/shorter cycles.

Do you journal? It helps a lot with finding clarity.

In regards to porn, I’ve noticed that the appeal of it is almost completely gone. More and more frequently I find myself wondering why I found it so intoxicating to begin with. I anticipate very soon just giving it up altogether. I’m keeping EE in my stack for at least another 2-3 cycles, probably 5-6 straight cycles with how much is helping

Vibes worked amazingly for the time I was running them, and I am still planning on running all 4 stages in the next 12-18 months as well. I just switched to my current stack to lay the groundwork so that when I pull the trigger on pursuing my DJ career to the fullest extent, there’s nothing holding me back and they all hit harder and faster. Believe me, you’ll be one of the first to know my friend :grin:

I agree with what @Viktor said. That sounds like recon to me. And I agree with his advice. Shorter loops, longer rest in between, journaling… All of that will help. Think of it as lightening or evenly distributing the load so your subconscious isn’t handling all of it on it’s own. Each of those activities lightens the workload your subconscious is undertaking, and it will thank you immensely for it. To use my workout analogy, you’re putting too much strain on your muscles without giving them enough time to recover. Reduce the workload and increase the rest time, and pretty soon you’ll find you’re able to bear a lot heavier workload because your muscles (subconscious) are stronger and have a much higher stress capacity. Hope this helps and also, friendly reminder to never hesitate to ask for help and advice on here. We’re all here to help each other grow!

Thanks to both of you for the response. Yes there is no doubt I am having reconciliation right now.

I am afraid of success & afraid of failure.

I don’t believe I am truly powerful or have fears regarding embodying my power and am scared of my own power.

I don’t believe I am strong enough to face my emotions or face emotional challenges so whenever opportunities arise and a new reality opens itself to me I do not enter into it.

I have a poor self-concept and undeveloped mental state (stuck in a child mindset perhaps due to trauma)

I do not take responsibility and don’t set boundaries.

I believe someone else will save me beyond myself.

All this plus self-sabotage.

These are some of the major unconscious fears and blockages I have assessed that keep me bound to a restricted and limited reality instead of an abundant one with infinite potential for creative growth and expansion. Especially fear of success and fear of failure. But it all comes down to fears that exist deep down and prevent me from truly embodying the scripts which I believe is the reason why I self-sabotage.

Having this awareness now I may find ways to overcome these issues within myself and move beyond them. I want to be in a peaceful and empowered inner space where I have the freedom to manifest the life of my choosing, beyond all limitations and restrictions, effortlessly and with ease.

I just created this little affirmation so I can manifest it.

About the reconciliation it is just very tiresome and I do not feel like it is helping me to make any constructive changes because my actions are not driven by an impetus from within. So I for sure prefer to let the lethargy pass away before moving forward. I should feel an internal shift before any changes of my reality can ever happen. Right now it feels like so much is changing at once and I have not integrated any of it. Taking a break seems wise.

First off, thank you for sharing those beliefs with us. It sometimes is really hard to admit our struggles, and as somebody who is currently exorcising those exact same doubts and limiting beliefs, I can say that, at least in my experience, just by acknowledging them out loud, you’ve already taken a lot of the power they have over you away. I’m happy to answer any further questions you have, if you’d like to DM me separately. Always willing to share my stories and experiences with those looking to improve their own lives

In my case there is certainly a deeper underlying cause to all of it. I have made the choice this year to create real and deep inner transformation within myself. I know I am very capable of that I just feel like something deeper inside of myself has always sabotaged my efforts just when I get that leap which could change everything you know?

This is the fear of success and fear of losing that success or of failure in general. Maybe out of this fear I sabotage myself through some deeper inner safety mechanism to stay “safe” or comfortable away from the fear. This is a real soul sucking cycle because all your efforts eventually just void themselves before the fruits ever become ripe for harvest. Right before my tree will bear fruit I just walk away.

I know it will be there next time I am at such a cross roads. The awareness does not liberate me from this pattern unless I consciously approach it and face whatever is there instead of getting sucked into another unconscious self-sabotaging impulse for sure it will lose hold on me.

And then… you just realise it was an illusion anyway and move on laughing cause life is just a miracle and be happy :slight_smile:

I don’t know why I am so happy right now suddenly but I can feel something good is coming.

And thanks, same to you!

It sounds to me like you’re happy because you’ve A. Already made the conscious decision and commitment to make the changes necessary. There’s SO much power in that decision alone. Just the fact that you CHOOSE to change means you already have started the process. So kudos on that
And B. Like I said earlier, acknowledging what your fighting immediately takes away a lot of the power it has over you. Think of it like this. Remember how as kids, we were always scared of the dark because we didn’t know what could be hiding in there? But as soon as we turned on the lights, that fear dissipated almost immediately? It’s the same concept. You KNOW what you’re fighting, and that alone gives you so much more power to conquer it once and for all

So the next time you find yourself at that crossroads, you’ll already be miles ahead of where you were the last time you were at a similar proverbial fork in the road because you’ve spent the last few months training your mind and spirit to know how to handle it better. So give yourself that credit. You’re doing great and you’re just going to keep getting better!

The happiness what short lasting unfortunately and I was tumbled back into some reconciliation state lol.

Used sanguine today it eases my mood a lot.

Hey do you know if someone runs 15 minutes of sanguine can he also use only 1 minute of khan black or will that dilute the results of khan black? I can comfortably run sanguine at the maximum amount but khan black still gives me horrible reconciliation.

#15

I am not the person to advise on either of those specifically because I’ve never run either one. But what I CAN tell you is that, at least in my experience, everyone on here experiences the subs differently because we all have such unique and diverse backgrounds and experiences. So my advice, (and take this with a grain of salt because again, I’ve never run either of those) is just try it and find out.

I personally treat using these subs as a scientific experiment. It’s all trial and error. To continue the gym analogy, you start at a weight (in this case, an amount of time listening to the sub) you believe you can handle without injuring yourself. You can always increase or decrease the amount of weight (loop time) later. If I was in your situation, I’d start with 30 seconds of khan black and see how you handle it.

And just a reminder, reconciliation, no matter how bad it gets, is a GOOD THING. It means you’re still processing the changes the sub is asking of you, but your subconscious is struggling. Think of it as rehabbing an injury. You’re still able to move the muscles, just not at full strength yet. Be gracious with yourself, give it time and most importantly, start taking actions towards becoming the type of person you wanted the subs to help you become.

They’re not a magic pill. They’re a force multiplier to what you’re already doing. Any action you take towards your goals specific to your stack, no matter how small, is showing your subconscious that what changes the subs are asking if to make is in line with what you truly want. Find the smallest actionable step you can take towards your goals, and I bet you’ll find your recon lessening quite rapidly

Hopefully this all helps. Sorry for the late response. Was out of town on vacation. Feel free to message me or reply here if you need any further assistance

Interesting read, lol.

No thanks, if it makes me completely incapacitated and unwilling to do anything I do not consider it a good thing. It is clear to me that there are levels to reconciliation and you want to keep it mild enough to where your energy levels remain high and you remain alive and connected to live and willing to make efforts towards your goals and dreams.

Because if this is not a thing you will just stagnate and not change. Furthermore you will harm yourself by constantly dwelling upon negative feelings and thoughts without doing anything about it. And this will most definitely not change anything.

Change does not have to get bad this is in my thought process some horrible idea that I do not ascribe to. In fact I believe that changes occur from a state of positivity, renewed hope and a sense of satisfaction from the progress that is daily being made while not wandering on the negative past. Anything bad happens to you, just accept it, let it go and stop fixating upon it, let the impact of those events disappear from your life and strongly idealise a positive new future and feel it in the present moment. It will come, it has to come. This is just the way life works.

Every time I strongly felt something the universe delivers. If it is fear I get the things feared and if it is a conviction and confidence in my goals I effortlessly attract those things instead. The inner state always draws to you the outer experience.

Check this video this coach explains it well https://youtube.com/shorts/RCn2ExSrcw4?si=l5G0-k2HM66vSYP6

You just need to focus your mind on what you want and not what you do not want. I see a lot of people focusing on their problems, old traumas fears and issues of the past with great contemplating and analysis but the only thing it does is keep you stuck there.

This includes myself but I am now shifting this mindset. True growth comes from focusing on what you want, where you want to be, what you want to attain and letting go completely of what you do not want and to stop focusing on it. As you do this you will attract your dreams. Focus on living your desires, wishes and dreams in the now and take action to make it happen. If you have this ability you literally can manifest anything.
