how about you?
Okay, Dragon Reborn.
I see what you did (are doing) there.
The same is true with Alchemist.
As soon as I played it I felt this jolt of ‘rightness’.
I have no subliminal choices to make until July or so. But when that time comes, I’m going to have to really think about whether to include Emperor or Stark in my SAPIENS ZP custom.
This is partly just fear-fueled doubt talking: Will Emperor work for me? I think that’s the underlying concern.
I really don’t know where this Dragon Reborn journey is going to lead.
But I’m feeling that it’s working on what needs to be worked on.
It’s mysterious and pretty amazing.
Yesterday it hit me that Dragon Reborn was really the right program for this time.
I’ve coped with certain things by mentally pushing them to a distance. Then when I’ve tried to focus on my aspirations, values, and goals, I find that (surprise, surprise) things seemed to be “mysteriously” slowed down by something.
I was doing the best I could. If there’s some situation that I can’t fix or solve right now, I try to adjust internally. I try to roll with it, and keep pushing in my chosen direction. And I think that’s correct. But, even if I don’t let them break me, those situations still have undeniable effects. (Slower to focus, less enthusiasm and determination, etc.)
And I saw that Dragon Reborn is actually working on those intractable issues and matters.
That was eye-opening.
I am realizing that my mind has gotten stronger and better able to handle subliminal input,
but…
when it comes to Dragon Reborn, that just means I’m strong enough to be smacked around as opposed to completely flattened and laid out.
So the 6-mile walk that has been helping me to process subliminals for the past 2 years is just as beneficial now as it ever was.
Walk and process…walk and process…
Actually, Dragon Reborn is more powerful and I think it would benefit more from a Run than a Walk. I’ll get back to working on that.
Last night, as I walked (and processed), I let myself add up the days.
I’m looking at an approximately 10-week run of Dragon Reborn (stage 4). 10 weeks and 3 days to be precise.
I found it somewhat helpful and grounding to think of it that way.
I thought about how much can happen in 10 weeks.
Got me thinking of Gestation Periods: the complete amount of time for a new life to develop, from fertilization to birth.
Human gestation period is approximately 40 weeks. 10 weeks is close to 1 trimester. A lot happens in that time.
On the other hand, 10 weeks is more than enough time for an entire dog or cat to be created and born.
10 weeks and 3 days is actually the exact amount of average time for Nature to make a brand-new otter.
What I did not know until just now is just how many beings have longer pregnancies than humans. I’d naively put us at the top of that list, but we’re not even close.
Dolphins take about a year. Elephants? Their pregnancies last over a year and a half. Holy Macoley.
Big-ass lions? Only about 15 weeks. But alpacas and llamas? Up to 49.
Well that was a rabbit hole. (They only take 4 weeks by the way. A rabbit could get pregnant and give birth twice during the rest of my Dragon Reborn run. 
)
And finally, my entire run of Dragon Reborn will have covered 366 days (including a 2 month dormancy period - during the initial ZP trial).
So I guess in my case it takes about a year and a day for a Dragon to be born.
Just experienced a major unfolding around this one.
So, since Saturday 30 April, my stack has been Dragon Reborn stage 4 and Paragon Complete.
In the end, I selected 3 Play Periods as my planned run time for this stack. (Hence the 10 weeks and 3 days.)
and I realized that I’m currently doing my first defacto Healing Retreat.
Originally, I had conceptualized these healing retreats as involving a Dragon Reborn custom (called Drakari TRANSCEND) and a Paragon Complete custom (called Pools of Healing: THRIVE; yup, me likes me titles).
But, on this first time with Dragon Reborn ZP, I’m sticking with the pure version for now.
On the other hand,
I just chose to build an enhanced Paragon custom. This is my first ZP custom. Next ones ought to come in July.
I built this one in Terminus2. Should be a good first feel of that build strength. I’m planning to build my future ZP Customs in Terminus2 as well. I like that there are just two programs in my stack now. I think it should allow me to get a sense of the feel of this build strength.
Both programs devoted to Healing. Both being run 1 loop every other day. We shall see.
Here are the modules of POOLS.

Hi @Malkuth !
I thought there was a recommended 3 APS or SPS limit. You have 11. What are your thoughts?
I was thinking of this:
@SaintSovereign @Fire have I made a very ill-advised choice? Help!! I just put my order in yesterday and I guess there’s still time to adjust it.

Thank you, @RVconsultant, for taking the time to pay close attention to my intended program. 
p.s. I guess that one other factor influencing my choice was that at the time of those recommendations the subs were still in Qv2 build. I’ve had a different sense about what may be possible with ZP. I may be way off.
I don’t know. It’s a good question “Have the possibilities changed now that we’re in ZP”?
And, you might want to enter a support ticket.
I’ve already ordered it so either I cancel my order today, or the response to my support ticket will be too late to make a difference.
I’ll think on it and then move.
Woke up at 5:35 AM today for some reason.
Meditated from 5:50 to 6:50; once again with my Dragon Reborn - Paragon Healing playlist.
I think the gym to which I have access (in our housing complex) has finally reopened. I want to start with treadmill running and rowing in there. Treadmill running is lower impact and may be the bridge that I need to ultimately get me back to a 6-mile hillrun.
I’ve lost mass on my wrists and forearms. They were never huge but I’m noticing the difference. I’m okay with that but not with losing strength and durability. We’re looking at a long-term easing back into weights. Hopefully the place stays open this time.
And now I’ve got to figure out: do I go for a Healing custom with 11 physical shifting modules?
The physical shifters are:
Endocrine
Reproductive
Organs
Respiratory
Nervous System
Skeletal
Eyesight
Fat Burn
Muscular System
Digestive System
Integumentary System
That’s how I listed them in the post above and that’s also the order of priority from first to last. (If I could only choose 5, for example, they would probably be the first 5. Though I might move Eyesight to position 5.)
They’re all basically focused on aging-related concerns and areas.
Interesting question:
“How many other people are going through something quite similar to the Special Thing that I’m currently going through?”
I’ve decided that I’m not canceling the Custom order.
But I will treat it as a (somewhat expensive) experiment. That will be my attitude around it.
And we’ll see how it develops.
I was thinking yesterday about the wealth-building programs, like RICH, Mogul, etc.
One user here on the forum asked for cases in which people had doubled their net worths or their monthly/yearly incomes. Not a bad question, but it doesn’t really completely fit my logic.
I think of it like this.
If you spend $50 on a program that is designed to attract and manifest money, and if the time invested in running that program is negligible, then, as I see it, all of the money that the program draws to you that is greater than $50 should be considered as a positive result. Because you’re essentially getting free money after that point.
I was thinking this because I just sent out an invoice for the services I provided in connection with opportunities generated by my (relatively brief) runs of Mogul, Ascended Mogul, and (I think) RICH.
Even if I add all of those programs together, the amount invested would be: 120USD
I invoiced approximately 14-15 times that.
I spent a certain amount of money, and it returned itself by 1500 percent.
That should be recognized as a good investment.
At the same time, yes, I want to remove my debt and revolutionize my wealth generation. And I am working with a combination of strategies and programs to help me to attain that. But, please, recognize the power in all of the wealth-building programs.
More Dragon Reborn shifts today.
Suddenly, I’m revisiting my budget and asking new questions.
For example, ‘Starting only from billable hours, how much would I need to charge per hour to double what I’m making in my current job?’
I don’t need to be impatient for Dragon Reborn to finish.
Dragon Reborn is working on the exact same issues that my future subliminals will target.
Achieve overall success in all areas due to the intense transformational effect of Dragon Reborn
