Selecting Emperor / Khan / Stark as main program

Hi everyone,

After running all programs, here’s what I would recommend to someone interested to choose between programs.

  1. Stark: when you are in a point in your life dissatisfied, and trying to find you way
  2. Emperor: when you are in a point in your life dissatisfied, and having a clear plan to move forward
  3. Khan: when you are not looking to have major changes in your life

What do you think? What was your experience?

I’ve run Stark and Khan only and if I was new to SC subs I would definitely run Dragon Reborn first.

That’s a helpful analysis, @lovage

Recently I was thinking about the differences between Emperor, Khan and Stark too and based on the King, Warrior, Magician, Lover archetypes, this is what I got:

Emperor: Alpha King
Spartan: Alpha Warrior
StarkQ: Alpha Magician
Khan: Alpha Lover

There are overlaps between all of them ofcourse (especially the alpha nature) but they have differences too based on what they highlight

I think this is solid

I’ve almost done a year on Emperor and everything in my life is much better. I’m a different person
however my path was not clear when I started, and while I’m more clear and confident in what I want, I’m not on a new path. I’ve just made the best with what I have. Emperor bulldozes whatever trajectory is given more so than supports in creating/determining new ones in my experience. Maybe there is some way in which I did not take the right kind of action to catalyze a new path but in my experience there are things subs clearly support with and this was not one of the benefits I personally got from Emperor.

I have not run Stark enough but my three main goals now are Financial gain, healing, and getting on a radically new life path so Stark might be a sub worth exploring more.

I would add Khan for when you are not looking to have major changes in your life
or when you don’t ‘need’ major changes in your life but want them.

Have you run Ascended Mogul for that?

I did not. Straight to Emperor after Ascension. Do you see it suitable as well for that phase?

I would think it should be ok for you if you were financially stable and didn’t have to worry about money, which would affect your performance on Emperor.

I’m biased. I like Stark. However, we got people who swear by Emperor and Khan.

I think it’s also a matter of what you want to develop socially in your life. I felt very introverted and uninterested in socializing when on Emperor. With Khan, I was much more outgoing. With Stark, social yes, but only feel occasionally outgoing.

What is your assessment on this subject?

So would combining Stark and spartan help give it a warrior vibe?

How does Stark and Ascension mix together?

I do think so. When I combined Spartan with Khan ST1, it gave me less reconciliation and a healthy mindset

adding Spartan to anything gives a warrior vibe.
