Shadow Work/Reflection Stack Advice

Questions and Comments
#1

So I am planning to spend the whole of december on shadow work, self reflection, setting my priorities so that i can make 2024 productive, fruit bearing (mainly wealth), and prosperous (family + wealth + new opportunities in skills and career)

Jan onwards my plan is to run: New Emperor + New QL + Stark(Open to suggestions on this)

I seek advice for the December stack. Here are few options I am considering:

EB + CfW
EB + KB
EB + QL + DR:LD
EB + Hero

Detailed objectives of the December run

  • My emotions often get the best of me, i want to manage them better
  • I want to integrate the darker parts of me, to be able to use them in my favour when needed instead of them operating on their own and causing incongruence in my life
  • I want to be more resilient to the emotional ups and downs and be able to stay focused on my goals
  • I want to be better at Goal Setting, identifying what should matter to me instead of what the impulsive me thinks matters
  • i have a 2 year old and the last 2 years have been very transformational, but at the same time, very tough for me, i have developed a strong desire to be a provider and that has shown me the mirror and how much I lack at the momen. However, that’s good, i want to improve that and bring myself together and forge towards my goals as a whole motivated being. Use every bit of me to give all that I have, to ensure I am able to give myself and my family more options to choose how we want to live our lives by acquiring more wealth.

EB and shadow work go together like butter on toast - you can’t go wrong with that mix, but it can get messy quick so always give yourself adequate time to clean up and take it easy. EB + DR:LD (+ maybe QL if you’re not feeling overwhelmed) would work ideally for your goal.

I highly recommend the book ‘Existential Kink’ by Carolyn Elliott if you’re dedicating time to shadow work. It was suggested to me by a close friend, and he and I found deep layers of value to it. It’s a somewhat radical approach to integrating the shadow (I do have to note that it is written by a woman and that likely most of her audience is women, so that - with her unique personality - definitely colors the feel of the book at times).

Back towards the end of July-August I ran DR:LD with KB Stage 1 and it brought up deep anger and frustration that I was promptly able to address with the approaches from that book. Having run DR:LD, EB, and QL at different times, that combo would be a powerhouse that could knock you on your ass, so be sure to be kind to yourself in the process.

That said, once I went through them, my journey has led me to a place where I am significantly more aware of my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and therefore able to control them with greater ease.

Best of luck - you’ve got this in the bag :+1:

Thanks mate! I am leaning more towards EB + LD and QL as well. I respond very well to Limitless subs, especially the new QL. I’ve jumped straight to Stage 4 and it works like a charm. I’ve noticed running limitless subs with Emperor or other alpha subs help me introspect better. I become conscious of my thoughts more instead of identifying with all my thoughts. That has helped me de-escalate or atleast stop issues from escalating with my wife who herself is going through a tough phase as a new mother.

Thanks for suggesting that book, i’ll definitely look into it. :pray:

I second the book Existential Kink. It will give you additional tools to integrate your shadow. So instead of your shadow being in a blind spot and coming out at inopportune times, you will bring it into the light and use its power for your good.

Just a thought that HOM is like a beautiful combination of Emperor and Stark… it’s expanded Emperor, I don’t think it takes much/any scripting from Stark, but I mean HOM is Emperor + Stark in the sense that it’s Emperor with enhanced wealth scripting with extra-crazy wealth manifestations compared to Emperor, especially coming from networking and relationships - crazy good for sales, new opportunities, new connections. Which goes to speak for its networking scripting, which is like Stark in that sense, except Stark seems to focus more on getting you a LOT of connections and a lot of attention, while HOM is more about powerful connections and once you meet them, a very very deep connection with that person. But the reason I thought HOM was a good fit for you more than anything else was the family scripting which is in HOM.

Plus if you replace Emperor and Stark with HOM, that saves up a 3rd spot in your stack :slight_smile:

But I would also REALLY recommend Chosen… freaking amazing for relationships, emotional resilience and positivity, positive outlook… I’ve used it with my fiancee to great effect. Communication quality and personal satisfaction both went way up.

Funny you say that because I have been also considering running Emp, HoM and QL instead of Stark. I do love HoM and I love how easily I connect with people on it, but I feel a lack of self confidence, productivity, and internal power on it. Emperor (especially the new one) is incredible for that! That’s why I might replace Stark with HoM (last time I ran HoM I had an amazing relationship with my wife too)

It’s interesting what my listening pattern was interpreted by Spotify. Almost like I decided to pick out a month for shadow work because I started to notice that my shadow is trying to gain my attention and is craving to be integrated

Update: This stack (EB + DR:LD + QLST4) is absolutely amazing. Within myself, and others, I am able to easily spot patterns that are being manifested as a result of their shadows. Also, thanks a ton guys for recommending the Existential Kink book, it really helped.

I feel that I am becoming more and more authentic, voicing my opinions more, becoming a lot more socially strategic and crafty (for lack of a better word). I am not sure who said EB is not a social title, but I find it to be incredible in social settings. I do notice the difference between EB and Stark, while Stark is attention hungry, EB has that density and depth that just attracts people. I have had so many people reach out to me, wanting to talk to me, get my views on different issues. There is definitely a charm and aura about this stack, my headstrong wife has apologized to me multiple times and is self correcting herself so she doesn’t lash out on me.

At work I have become a lot more productive and much smarter, I recently organized a team workshop in France and on multiple occasions have been able to delegate work to my seniors, not from a place of authority though, but still managed to do it and not only were they happy to do it but later on even appreciated me for the overall outcome.

Things are good, I might even let EB bleed into my January plan and run it alongside QL and RM instead of QL and HoM that I had originally planned. Let’s see.

Finally decided to take the plunge and order a custom to run next year after the shadow work cycle. I’ll just run this custom and throw in 1 sub in the mix if needed (which sub? That will depend on my circumstances)
