I’m loving my subliminals.
In PHENOMENAUT Genesis, as I mentioned, 4 of the modules (the program cores plus one additional module) I’ve been playing since August 2023; but the other 16 modules I’ve been playing since September 2022.
And I’m loving it more than ever.
I have to acknowledge that some of this is about me and how my mind works. I’m a gradual slow mover.
That’s me.
I need time to build what I’m building.

Observe all natural phenomena unfolding;
including–ESPECIALLY–the phenomenon of observation itself.
Observe the capacity to observe; the process of observation.

Week 2 Day 1 of the current play period.
As mentioned, I listen 3 days a week (Tu, Th, Sa) for 3 weeks; take a week off, and then start on the following Tuesday.
Currently, I play one full-loop each of my 2 QTKS customs.
One subtle shift I’ve noticed is that I’ve released the subs a little more, to some degree. At first, I would find myself mentally reciting and reviewing the 40 modules that make up my 2 customs. Just a kind of mental exercise. Now, I’m thinking of them less. Want to think of my life more than thinking of the subliminals.
But I’ll still go back to listen to the various recordings I’ve made that describe the program cores and subs.
All too often, it takes so long to learn to properly appreciate a thing that by the time you’ve really grasped it, the thing is gone.
And so I pray to be a little less foolish in this area.
Let me be a little less dumb, so that I can appreciate my conditions even as they are still here.
Full-loop meaning 15 minutes? If so, is that something you would have been able to do with non-QTKS?
Yes. By ‘full-loop’ I mean 15 minutes.
And yes, this is something I would have been able to do with non-QTKS. Just to be safe though, I worked my way up to full 15-minute loops over a couple of months.
All I care about is what works.
I don’t think ‘full loops are better than shorter loops’ or vice versa. Whatever works, do that.
So far I have not observed any problems from playing 15 minute loops and that option is logistically easier for me, so that’s what I’m doing.
For years, I’ve been playing my subliminals within my meditation hour. Since I’m sitting for an hour, it’s easier if I don’t have to pay attention to changing or managing audio tracks. So I have two 15-minute silent tracks. And I just use a 4 track playlist with:
01-Silence
02- First Subliminal
03-Silence
04-Second Subliminal.
When the second subliminal ends, my meditation hour ends also.
On non-subliminal days, I just use a meditation timer.
And now, it’s actually almost time for today’s (subliminally-accompanied) meditation hour.
Here we go.
I’m trying to summon the desired conditions into my life.
It’s a creative process.
Working on it.

Thank You, God.
Every process in life–every cycle–has its seasons; its phases.
And every season has its own special appeal and beautiful features.
Discovering what those are can enable you to enjoy the phase in which you currently are. In contrast, if you do not learn what those delights are you run the risk of only complaining and failing to appreciate the present moment.
Example
When in the first season, and early phases, of mastering a subject, the concepts, skills, and ideas of that subject are not yet firmly in your grasp. At this time, they are slippery; difficult to remember and to hold onto.
Many people make the mistake of focusing only on frustration or dogged determination during this early season of mastery. Slogging through the oppressive Valley of Incompetence.
Experience teaches however that also present in that early stage of practice or learning, is a special atmosphere of NOVELTY of the subject, an unavoidable Wonder about each detail precisely because the overall subject is–and FEELS–so Unknown.
When one has passed beyond this season of Slippery Unknowability and Early-Stage Exploration, there will be days when one longs for the Wonder that was so easily accessed in those early stages. At this point, we more easily recognize that there was a vital creativity to it, and an adventure to it.
Why not appreciate those elements while they are happening, instead of waiting until they have passed to begin longing for them?
That was just one example.
Each Season has its Delights.
Learn what they are and enjoy where you are.
For soon, you will be somewhere else.
Interesting.
As I showered, after having written the above reflective post, it occurred to me that what i was describing seemed to mirror and capture some elements of The Fool archetype.
This led me to consider that the 22 archetypes of the Major Arcana could be approached as windows into the Process of Mastery; its Seasons and its Phases.
So, I quickly finished showering and pasted my passage into my AI model, telling it what I thought and asking if it could generate similar framings of the subsequent 21 archetypes.
It did so, and this looks like a useful learning tool for me to further contemplate and integrate those archetypes.
I’m sharing this here because, upon reflection, it looks to me like this may be one way that my mind is expressing my subliminals. This morning was indeed a subliminal meditation day.

This is your one chance to be alive.
Think about the value and the price tag that you want to put on it.
A woman’s pleasure?
A particular job?
A motor vehicle?
Really?

A “bully”, to me, is a sculptor and architect of Fear. Someone who learns to use fear as one of their primary mediums of influence.
Our reactions to this are so primal that it’s difficult to even think clearly about it.
Our self-preservation/self-protection systems (understandably) kick in, and we become more focused on reaction than on perception.
