I’m currently running DRGold St 1 alongside 3 customs, and that’s what I’m doing to avoid overloading.
30 second loops of two subs, taking 2 rest days, and listening to 30 second loops of the other two subs effectively 72 hours after the first listening day
First week it worked well, the recon hit for like an afternoon and was gone.
Second week is now, the first listen I bumped up to 1 min and had recon in the form of intense laziness and brain fog for a day, but then it cleared and I became VERY productive. Felt inspired to take action that I’ve never done before.
Worth experimenting with if you feel you know what you’re doing and have enough experience with these subs.
I also feel short loops executing quickly, but that doesn’t mean they are fully processed, or that you are immune to recon, within that 1 rest day window of time
My current approach is a midpoint between the two.
I use Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays as my play days. After Tuesdays and Thursdays, I get one rest day. After Saturdays, I get two rest days.
I’m at full-loops now, since 30 May, but I took my time getting there. Shorter loops gradually increasing from February to May.
I’m one of those who is not so aware of small changes in the short-term with subliminal sessions. I used shorter loops not because I was personally experiencing troubling recon but because I was following the recommendations of wise people, such as yourself.
Once I did reach full-loops, I have to say that I did notice a definite difference. A more powerful energy and flow. I was really glad that I’d gotten there gradually.
Now, it feels quiet again, and I am back to my normal not noticing very much. The point, to me, is to let your actions, your projects, and your results give you the feedback about how to modulate, throttle, or otherwise adjust the listening and exposure approach.
Every 4 or 5 weeks, I skip a T, Th, Sa, and that equals 9 or 10 days off—mini-washout.
Would this be too much of a kitchensink? Are any of the focus or synergy modules redundant because they may be in the cores? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
As long as you’re within the guidelines, trust yourself.
They do seem to me to be all related to a common vision, as represented by the two program cores. It looks like you chose them to serve that vision.
Seems, in short, like you want to thrive in a relationship of love, connection, and inspiration.
Does not seem like a kitchen sink. Lots of synergy modules, yes; but they each contribute something unique and related to the core theme.
Redundancy is not really a thing with custom subs. Adding more modules related to a theme emphasizes that particular tone or accent in the custom. Like how adding two more chairs to the violin section of an orchestra would create a stronger Strings sound. Nothing wrong with that. It’s up to what you want.
In any case, I don’t see much repetition. It makes sense to use the store modules to enhance or direct the program core modules.
Just keep in mind, the more modules, the longer it takes until you can see results.
You have around 45 modules, counting constituent modules. That’s a lot.
That’s not bad per se.
It just may take longer until you see certain aspects unfold in your life.
This is a useful conversation for me. Thank you for raising it, @Venus .
I notice that I’ve settled on just thinking of Synergy modules as 1 module. Despite their origins.
More ‘density’ and more ‘mass’ (metaphorically speaking); but still one thing.
My sense is that all of the original modules of the Q-store already had varying ‘densities’ and ‘masses’ (equivalent perhaps to ‘challenge level’ and ‘script length’?).
So similar to the periodic table, 1 does not always equal 1. The element Hydrogen is about 300 times less dense than the element Osmium.
Or in this case, it might be more like a molecule of H (pure hydrogen) compared to a molecule of H2O (water). The water molecule (which ‘synergizes’ Hydrogen and Oxygen) is denser, but it’s still just one molecule.
Anyway, all of that is just analogy.
On the practical side, it seems that the computers that create our Q-customs treat each Synergy module as 1 slot in the custom. Thus, as always, we have to use our judgment in arranging our customs. This comes down to not ‘did I manage to squeak by ahead of ‘the rules’’, but rather it comes down to ‘in reviewing my capacities and my lifestyle, does this combination of modules seem like something I can manageably integrate?’ You have to be honest with yourself about this question.
A custom with just one module could still challenge you, if the perceptions and behaviors represented by that one module were extremely far away from your current capacity. And in that case, it would take more time to ‘reach that destination’. So although the number of modules is a clue to challenge, difficulty, and ‘time to process’, Challenge and Difficulty are not only a numbers game.
So, I guess I’m basically reiterating @Parsifal 's above point, but adding that I will probably continue to think of a Synergy module as still being one module, albeit a module that is somewhat denser than the modules that comprise originally contributed to it.
Also, for this point:
My understanding (so far) is that the NSE cores are not quite the same as Program Cores. Due to their function, they’re more like ‘bridge building’ modules. They handshake with and integrate the other relevant modules into a unified purpose. So their ‘density’ works differently.
A normal program core introduces its own goals, beliefs, and agendas into the custom. NSE cores seem to do something else. They do introduce their influence into the custom. But they are intrinsically made to merge with and integrate the other modules in the custom. They somehow seem ‘lighter’ to me.
I’m not totally sure about this, but it is interesting and seemed worth elaborating.
My custom has 14 modules.
2 Major Cores
1 NSE Core
6 Synergy Moduels being built from 24 focus modules
5 Modules
So it would have taken 32 slots in the past.
Yet, its focused, and surprisingly easy to handle.
So if my 32 slot custom is doable for me, why shouldn’t someone else be able to handle a 45 slot custom? Especially when she’s taking it much slower than I do.
I totally understand what you mean, when you say you’re thinking of them as 1 module. Since, they are. And yes, Enchanting Smile has proabaly less mass than Apollon (just a random example), so Apollon Unbound might also have more mass than Inescabale Gaze (just speculating).
I wonder, if adding Eagle Eye, All-Seeing, Awakend Perception and Seducers Gaze would add more mass to a custom than adding Inescabale Gaze. It contains these 4 modules but with additional synergizing scripting minus overlappign scripting.
And would the scripting, that binds the modules together make the processing easier?
I think I didn’t get this question answered yet.
But of course, it also depends on the modules, your goals, how aligned you are with the custom, how much action you take, etc.
A Custom with the bare minimum of 1 core and nine smaller modules could cause more recon than a 20 Slot custom with 3 cores, if you are not aligned with the first one, but with the later one.
Yet, it remains, the bare number of modules and constituent modules gives one parameter to make a guess on the densitiy.
There are some that would be perfect for my customs, but my two customs were ordered and built in October 2023 and February 2024 and I’m locked into them. Synergy appeared in April 2024.
I am definitely looking forward to it though. I figure that the work and time I put into what I’m running now will help those eventual Synergy modules to process even more smoothly and powerfully when I get to them.
My understanding was that synergy modules were lighter than the combination of all the focus modules in them, that they had been rewritten and they were created to free space to add more modules.
Also that NSE cores were much lighter than main tittles cores. I have already had experience running HS and Chosen without recon, so I expect delay in results as the processing queue may be longer, but no much recon. Still, I will take precautions anyway.
Yes, I think that Synergy modules are probably lighter than the sum total of all of their constituent modules. But that can still be pretty dense, particularly when compared to just one single non-Synergy module.
Hi!
With the synergy modules, is it still necessary to take minimum 10 modules for a custom? With the synergy modules? Would a 2 core, 4-6 synergy module custom work? Or should i fill the remaining slots with some more basic cores that i allready bought and that i listen to in my other custom…e.g. mosaic, gratitude embodiment, inner voice.
I want to keep that custom light and not make it so dense.
Officially there’s still the 10 slot minimum. But if your build gets approved by Q-Engineer you’re good. With 8 slots and just Synergy modules I’d think you’re good to go.
