Philosophical Question: Do subs lead us to other subs?

This is more a discussion for fun. But I’ve been thinking about the idea that subs we use leading us to use other subs. For example, I’ve been running WANTED since its release, which as most of you know has physical shifting technology to help you look as attractive as possible. Recently I’ve been guided by my subconscious to pick up Spartan and start using that.

Just remembered that I have a much more practical and specific response to this topic.

I started Sub Club with Ecstasy of Gold. Did shorter runs with Limitless and then Emperor. Finally, I created a custom around Ecstasy of Gold and Stark. Called it Paths of Wealth, or PATHS for short.

The point is, PATHS led me directly to Alchemist and Quantum Limitless. It was kind of a controversial decision for me because it seemed to make my stack quite heavy and cumbersome. Ultimately, I ended up foregrounding Alchemist and Quantum Limitless and backgrounding PATHS (to a maintenance frequency of just 3 loops per week). I kept to that arrangement while working through Alchemist and Quantum Limitless.

By the time I was done, Qv2 had been invented, and now, here we are. I’m running one Qv2 custom that integrates Alchemist and Quantum Limitless and another Qv2 custom that is an updated version of the original PATHS custom.

My point is that I feel that entire process and strategy were guided and overseen by my PATHS custom. It was creating a pathway (pun intended) that would fulfill its mandate. In other words, I need the skills and resources of Alchemist and Quantum Limitless to create my own pathway to wealth. So I was led to those programs.

So, I’m definitely onboard with your original idea that subs may lead us to other subs. Thanks for bringing it up. Sometimes it’s easy to overlook or forget the subtle, slippery details of how the process is actually happening.

That’s very cool @Malkuth . Interesting how your PATHS custom created a PATH to your subliminal use

Change is inevitable whether using these kind of tools or not, and as circumstances, and life events change over time we tend to have a shift in our priorities, hence why certain subs may be more appropriate at certain times. It’s all for the best, since we’re growing and advancing towards our highest potential no matter what PATH we take here.

I think it’s possible. The subliminals change me, and then I start thinking of “what’s next”.

Yes exactly! Or also “what else” could compliment what I’m trying to achieve with my current sub.
