Raphael's "Start from Scratch" & "Stick to the Stack" Journal

Journals - Major Programs
#1

After almost 2 years of making a mess of my subliminal journey with overstacking, in-action, shiny object syndrome (both for Main Store titles and Customs), I thought it would be best to go back to the drawing board. And what better way than to ask the question: "“What would I do if I discovered Subliminal Club today but leveraging my experience so far (and my friends’ experiences on this forum) to do it right this time?”

The answers to this were quite clear:

  • Start from scratch.

  • Use old school titles with new tech (currently Qv2) like Limitless, Ultimate Artist, Ascension, Emperor, etc

  • Add newer titles when really necessary like Renaissance Man and WANTED.

  • Start with a 2 titles stack max.

  • No Ultimas in the beginning except a custom Ultima for healing my eyes and ears. This will be one of the subs in the above mentioned “Start with a 2 titles stack max” point. Else I would have started with 1 title.

  • Now about that Ultima Custom. For those who already know of my Raphael Ultima custom, I have built a new version of it today which is lighter and more focused with the following modules:

  1. Paragon Complete Ultima Core
  2. A/SPS: Eyesight
  3. A/SPS: Hearing
  4. Epigenetics & DNA Modulator

  • The reason why I am instituting this “no Ultima except Raphael Ultima” rule for myself is because I want to keep my stack simple. I don’t want to think too much about spacing the time between playing different Ultimas. And also, almost all Ultimas have their equivalent Q versions in the Main Store. And I will dabble in Ultimas after mastering the “normal” subliminals.

  • Fortunately, not all was lost in the journey so far. There were some journals of mine here that am proud of especially my “Elixir + Regeneration” journey and also my “Emperor + Power Can Corrupt + The Commander” one. Even though these were short journals that lasted around a month, I was able to “stick to my stack” and hence reap the rewards of a “comparitively longer term” exposure to these 2 stacks that changed me for the better.

  • Using that idea of “longer term exposure” I intend to make this journal a real long term journey that records my experiences with the Main Store titles for longer durations.

  • And only after such longer durations of playing the subs, taking action and getting results will I add more titles to any current stack or change stacks. No more of this doggone behavior of “look a squirrel!” Lol

  • Talking of squirrels, no new customs for me anymore (except for the updated Raphael Ultima) until I have been a good boi hahaha.

  • Another reason why I do not want to make customs is to understand which title is giving me which result. For example, if I run the Main Store Limitless by itself for a month, I can process it faster and learn its effects. Then I add Ultimate Artist to it and now I know which title is giving me which benefits because I can separate Limitless from UA. And when I finally make a custom which has Limitless Core and UA Core, not only will I undertand why I need such a custom, the custom itself will work better because I have experience with the corresponding Main Store Titles. Such a strategy will save time and money.

  • So the new plan is to start with Limitless + Raphael Ultima. Until my new Raphael Ultima arrives though, I will play Limitless by itself starting tomorrow which will be a Monday.

  • Limitless because I feel this is a very under-rated title and I need some help processing information and learning before I jump into making money with writing (for which I will use Ultimate Artist, for starters).

  • Will play Limitless + Raphael Ultima for a month. Then decide whether to play it for longer or add UA to it.

This is an awesome idea Raphael,

I won’t deny that I have massively transformed personally and transformed my relationships with others since running custom subliminals

but my focus, day to day actions, staying accountable and moving things for my own life, or at least really being on path has still been strongest when I ran Emperor solo.

You have your custom Raphael Ultima to cover health as a top priority, what is the next most immediate goal you have and what is the next most immediate block in the way of that goal?

Thanks a lot, bro

I have yet to reach this place. And I will!

And I plan to reach Emperor as soon as possible but after satisfying my criteria for getting results from Limitless, UA, etc

I need to get myself interested in learning again. And that’s where Limitless comes in. I re-read the sales page of the older titles today and Limitless called out to me because I realized that I had lost that desire to learn new skills and read up on things. And Limitless will be an excellent way to get me back on track.

Thank you

And yes, I was feeling quite overwhelmed. Hence going back to basics will be good for me.

I’m having the same thought of running less and trying to settle on something lol

“Messing up” in the beginning of your subliminal journey is not a bad idea at all since it helps you grow a bit in many directions fostering general development and also gives you a feel on how to tackle our tools and helps you create vision of your “ideal” you you can strive for using them. But ultimately, tailoring subs to that vision and our current needs is priceless and as Saint said scalpel cut method is superior to sink method in the long run.

Good luck on your journey, mate! :slight_smile:

I am one of the biggest culprits of stacking way too many modules into a core. Its easy to want it all however realistically you have to focus on specific areas to see real, rapid progress. Thankfully I have learned this through each iteration of my custom.

Emperor as usual lol
For the goals I just worked out emperor and RM make the most sense
I haven’t been able to sleep good lately every night I half ass sleep bc I’m constantly thinking about what I want to make happen but come up with nothing really just some ideas but my motivation in actually taking the steps to make them happen isn’t there at the moment

Same here. Especially when new Cores and module packs are released! :smiley:

Sometimes I still do wish for an all round custom. Like Emperor/StarkQ/Khan updated to include a bit more

This is true. Focus and rapid progress not only leads to success quicker but it also makes it easier for us to believe in subliminals and hence make it easier for larger titles/customs that have larger recon and takes longer time.

Ditto. I almost made a 10 module custom which would have been perfect for my goals but now am postponing that to a time when I have mastered Main Store titles. Then it will be both a reward for my consistency and work better too since I would have played the corresponding cores of the custom AND gotten results even before making a custom. Too many times I was building customs as if I wanted a short-cut to success. But as Tolkien wisely said: “Short cuts make long delays” :smiley:

My existing ascension custom only has 6 modules. I might go to 8 but no more then that.

Awesome! Frankly, for both of us, the Renaissance Emperor stack would be an excellent idea, bro. We need the discipline/focus/wealth-buulding of Emperor and the creativity of RM.

I know that feeling. Hopefully we will both resolve this as soon as possible.

Was thinking that running “basic” titles like Limitless, UA, Ascension, Ascended Mogul, etc would help me run titles like Emperor and Khan since Emperor, Khan, StarkQ have cores of Ascension, Limitless, etc. It will also eventually lead to more successful customs which will have cores of Emperor, UA,… you get the gist

As long as your health gets better and you became more alpha (you nailed it), it wasn’t a waste. Your goals change as you change, important thing is defining those goals, then picking a sub combo to match. (you’ve also nailed this part).

Good luck for your new Scratch and Sniff journal!

Hmm but don’t we need a minimum of 10 modules to make a Q custom?

Maybe you could create an Ultima with 6 of those Ascension custom modules haha

Nice! Maybe Dominion (for Result Enhancment and Status + Mosaic (for stacking) could fill out your custom.
