Stages of Execution

Stage 1: Testing This is the initial phase, where you experience early results but also encounter cognitive dissonance (“recon”) as you reconcile new beliefs with your current mindset.

Stage 1 lasts 1-3 days for me as long as I meditate on the recon. Otherwise, it can extend for much longer. During this meditation, I end up getting a feeling or explanation for why I am experiencing recon. THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER. You continue asking “why” until you get the right answer. You know you have the right answer because you feel the recon subsiding. To me, this lessens the pressure in my head area and I feel energy shifting. Any moodiness, tiredness, or irritation is drained out.

When I ran KB the answer ended up being about my religious upbringing and what people in my surroundings would think if I fully expressed my sexual energy. When I found that answer, it just clicked and I could let go of that belief.

I would highly encourage meditating on the recon as a way of reaching “stage 2”.
During old tech (think before ZP, or even before Q) I know I personally never left stage 1

Stage 2: Absorption Here, you begin integrating the subliminal’s guidance, adopting new behaviors, beliefs, and thought patterns that align with its goals. In this phase, taking action reinforces these changes, making them a part of your daily life and personality. For example, with “Wanted Black,” I adapted my flirting to make it easier for girls to chase me. It’s not me asking for dates, it’s girls asking me for dates, and the interaction/flirting had to change for that to be congruent/natural. Most books, guides, and courses won’t teach that difference because it’s out of the norm.

Stage 3: Becoming/Being At this stage, the subliminal influence is ingrained, and you embody the basics of the archetype.

We can also change out my fabulous buzzwords into the NLP framework of competence and see subs through that.

  • Stage 1: Conscious incompetence – You recognize the gap between your current state and the subliminal goals.
  • Stage 2: Conscious competence – You work to apply the subliminal’s guidance.
  • Stage 3: Unconscious competence – The basic archetype of the subliminal goal becomes second nature.

Technically all of these are fluid, you never really leave stage 1 because there is always a new way to develop. But as a conceptual framework for looking at one’s progress of the subs, it works.

Stage 1 is easy. Once you have acknowledged the incompetence/reason/gap, you can move forward onto stage 2, and you have an open mind to make improvements.

Per my own experimentation with full loops vs microloops, is that full loops easily cause overloaded (duh) but allow for faster development, if imbalanced.

I’m referring to the Quadrants F & S have talked about to explain what I mean. In Q1, I get the basics. For example, I might fully integrate the romance aspect of Emperor Q1 but still struggle with the wealth aspect. When I move to Q2, it challenges me further in romance, while progress in wealth might slow due to the additional layers of processing. I ended up progressing faster with romance, giving me better results in that area but on Wealth I haven’t progressed further than Q1. This is what I mean by imbalanced development when doing full loops.

This leads to my question - has anyone else discovered strategies they use to deal with recon or enhance their execution of the subs?

The classic is really the best, the “sweet spot” method.

@Parsifal refers to it as a ‘ping’

When I lie down and relax listening to a sub, I feel the impact in a very tangible energetic and physical way, and I can tell when the positive learning momentum starts to slow down and turn into more of a static resistant feeling that keeps hardening and becoming more intense like pushing against a thick heavy wall.

That’s how I know I have learned everything I could from the sub for that listening session and will need to process and start acting on what I have understood subconsciously.

If I time it right or even better stop before the edge there’s always a very positive flow that carries me, if I push the loop until resistance it’s gonna be harder to make sense of it all and integrate and progress efficiently and smoothly.

This is interesting… I like it, lol.

I pmed you my strategy, cheers.

The ping has worked great for me as well. After a while I decided to go ahead and listen to a full loop regardless. This is kind of how I went about detecting my “meditation exercise”. Now this will vary from person to person and you will know yourself better than me. But this “thick heavy wall”. Can be either recon, or it can be overload.

If it is recon, you’re gonna have to deal with it eventually. What I’ve done is essentially push forward, so that I trigger recon, and then I consciously deescalate the recon by coming to grips with it.

If it’s overload, well it’s not gonna be fun pressing forward.

It’s reconciliation, the heavy solid feeling is resistance showing up.

If I push through and go for full loop I will need to dedicate extra time and effort to specifically integrate instead of a smoother unfolding throughout the day.

Homie, can I get the Manual too, please?

I’d appreciate it as well

Sorry for the late reply, lol.

strategy

My strategy has become more simple over time:

I just follow my intuition, and work with my mind towards my goals.

I know it sounds cliché, and can be borderline annoying as in “Really bro? Just follow your intuition? How is that supposed to help me?” but I’ll try to break it down a little.

When your intuition is strong, then you just know exactly what to do. You know exactly which subliminal to listen to and how to listen to it, and you know exactly what the next step is for you to move towards your goals. Everything clicks perfectly.

The thing is though, that most people are constantly living in a state of fear, victim mentality, and survival mode - so they have a very weak intuition. They struggle to access and listen to the inner wisdom that one already always has, that gives them crystal clarity on how to move forward.

I personally don’t subscribe to any religions, but I have a business colleague that does fasting and abstaining from meat on certain occasions. In his religion, when they do these practices for the purpose of spiritual growth, they become very “connected” (their own words, not mine), and have a stronger intuition. What this really means, is that the base level of their internal state (body and mind) are operating at a more expanded level of awareness.

Narrow vs Expanded awareness explanation

If you get cornered by a gang of starving grizzly bears that want to rip you apart limb from limb, then you’re going to enter survival mode, your adrenaline is going to skyrocket, your nervous system will go berserk, your IQ is going to decrease (reptilian brain function), and your conscious awareness in the form of thinking, reacting, and interfacing with present moment reality - is going to narrow completely and lock onto the threat in front of you in order to maximize your survivability. This is what most people are living in every day: a low-awareness, child-like reactive state built for survival, not clarity or purpose. Intuition is pretty much offline in that state.

If you’re familiar with photography and videography, then think of it as the field of view (FOV) of your camera lens drastically narrowing. However, when we’re talking about conscious awareness, the camera lens is your mind. Hopefully this is making sense, lol.

Now let’s say that you’re sitting alone in nature, with the sun gently warming your skin. There’s a calm breeze, and you feel at peace. Your nervous system is relaxed, and your brain isn’t on high alert. You’re safe, present, and aware. Your conscious awareness expands like the camera lens. You can process more subtle details, like birds chirping in the background, or the faint scent of trees. Your awareness is more panoramic, and you can reflect with clarity. You can naturally receive intuitive understandings, and new ideas. You can perceive the best solutions and directions without needing to “figure everything out”. Intuition is fully online.


So anyways, when my business colleague has that strong intuition, he just senses and knows exactly what to do because it’s perfectly aligned. It’s the flow state.

That’s an example of what I’ve observed in others, and in myself also, but only when I’m locked in. I of course like most people have periods where I fall off and my intuition becomes weak.

TLDR: My strategy is to maintain a strong intuition and led that guide me. I don’t do fasting and abstaining from meat like religious people, but I do my best to remove influences in my life that I feel like weaken my awareness, while trying to introduce influences that improve my awareness. So for example, I’ll read a self-help book that helps me think clearly or go out in nature away from technology distractions so that I can self-reflect. I also avoid watching all types of panic-inducing news or TikTok videos that I feel like put my brain in a primitive state when I watch them, lol. Of course I don’t watch pornography - that’s a big one for men.

SC has great options for improving intuition. If someone goes through that laid out progression Alchemist → Khan Black → Aeon (I think it was), then their intuition would probably be very strong which would make everything else in their life easy.

Let me know if you or anyone has any questions. Cheers.
