Through the Dark Art of Mental Alchemy

[Sub.Zero]

Intriguing, indeed! As a fellow ‘alchemist’ I’ll be following this journal with great interest.

And I’m also from Sweden, if you ever want to practice just throw me a DM

Thanks a lot!

I ran two loops yesterday (LD and Alchemist) and I woke up groggy again. I had lots of dreams last night.

Testing my approach I’ll be taking a one week washout now.

The approach is:
Two weeks for exposure = Saturation Phase
One to two weeks (depending on the intensity of the Saturation Phase) for processing = Execution Phase.

I listened to six loops per week only (for the last two weeks), therefore, my washout shall last one week only.

I imagine this stack will really resonate with you,
I may have missed it, but any particular reason for not proceeding with Emperor?

I may have missed it, but any particular reason for not proceeding with Emperor?

I got tempted by Emperor since it contains scripting aimed at destroying your limitations and detrimental beliefs, especially; “I cannot do it”, “I’m not good enough” and I thought there was no harm in running some “extra” scripting you don’t really need (in my case, I didn’t need Sex Mastery and the stuff related to woman, I didn’t need the component related to building an empire and business either, the same if it comes to some essential alpha scripting and QL lite). But since the new tech is so powerful and taxing I just decided to jettison all that scripting and switch to LD that offers exactly the thing I wanted from Emperor most.

RM is the sub that is closest to my “real me” - Empath and Communicator and contains scripting similar to Emperor’s related to productivity and creativity (the latter much more developed than in Emperor, I guess).

I don’t want to give up on Alchemist since it promises the stillness of mind and energy balance and those are things I really need so I’ll be sticking to Alchemist for three more months I think. I would gladly run RM and LD only, again, due to the power of the new tech and my current circumstances and needs.

I just want to say that it was your post that convinced me that RM is the best choice right now… and ever:

Main Disc. Thread - Renaissance Man

I’ve yet to run either of those modules in customs however I found any easier time teaching things I learned, when in a social context, with confidence and clarity. I’m also never at a loss for words, and the energy and willingness to use those words, so far with my test loops on RM. I strongly enjoyed holding court in the social encounters I had on it. I’ve also been posting on facebook and sharing on 100+ person zoom events with zero qualms about it. Two things I’ve never done before. I thi…

I’ve gone back to teaching.

that makes sense, is includes to much extraneous to your goals. In the end the right fit makes all the difference.

haha yes I loved renaissance man on my tests runs-but it wiped me the fuck out later on…could have just been early exposure to QV2. It also made doing day work very difficult. I’ll be returning to it later in a custom with WANTED and Emperor or Stark.

[Sub.Zero]

RM, WANTED and RICH seem to be the Holy Trinity in SC and I may build two customs (RM-WANTED custom and RICH Ultima custom) upon it one day

Yes, the new tech is really demanding and I’m planning on cutting down on the loops after my one week washout next week. I’ll be running fours loops a week only (2xLD, 1xAlchemist, 1xRM) for two weeks and then another washout (one week). That was the idea I got some time ago but it’s just got “confirmed” by Saint:

Main Disc. Thread - Ultima Core v2 Upgrades

This is more like what the new recommendations will be like. If you run more loops, you must also increase the rest periods.

I’m still testing it but my intuitions has been telling me that’s the “right” direction.

[Sub.Zero]

Although I’ve listened to barely twelve loops (6Q+6U) for the last two weeks and after a one week washout, I feel overloaded and my cognitive functions have declined a bit, especially verbal fluency. I’ll be doing a washout till next Friday and then I’ll be running eight loops (4Q+4U) for two weeks before the next washout.

I feel really strong and solid inside. On Monday I start teaching so we shall see how it looks if it comes to interacting with the people. I expect the script of Emperor to execute massively since I finished listening to it only two days ago.

[Sub.Zero]

On the second day of my washout I still feel tired, overloaded and I’m experiencing a slight headache. I feel I need that washout a lot and I’m curious how it’s going to look like. It’s a part of my experiment on Saturation Phase and Integration Phase. It’s going to teach me more about the new tech potency as well.

[Sub.Zero]

I pondered a bit more on the new tech and, even though I still feel a bit tired and overloaded, I decided to run it for one more week which should be enough to finish up Alchemist Stage 3. It’s going to be 3 weeks of exposure to it and then a one week washout to have it integrated, so 4 weeks in total. On the preQ tech it was said one month was enough so in my case it’s still one month. But it’s more about how fast the script can get integrated on the new tech, it’s just amazing.

I’ve decided to listen to no more than two programs at a time, one Q and one U. Four loops (2Q+2U) in total per week and no more than one loop in total per day. i’ll be sticking to Alchemist and Limit Destroyer.

[Meng123]

Hmm,means your going to split the ultima and q listening to different days?What does your schedule look like now out of curiosity?2 days on 1 day off 2 days on 2 days off?

[Sub.Zero]

2 days on 1 day off 2 days on 2 days off?

Precisely. I realized that decreasing the power even more and finishing up one stage of a major program in one (3 weeks) run (with a washout at the end) may help me understand the new tech even better. But I’m slowly getting inclined towards what @pacman has recently said that is your main focus should be on Integration Phase and running your loop when you feel/know/intuit that “you’re ready to go”.

[AlexanderGraves]

feel overloaded and my cognitive functions have declined a bit, especially verbal fluency

Can confirm.
Whenever I am overloaded I feel “stupid” because I have issues building slightly advanced sentences.
Or even clean pronunciation.

Also for some reason I thought you already run Alchemist in the past. Am I mistaken?

I’ve been running it for almost four months now and I’ve created five journals with it in. I promise that’s the last one and I shall finish up that sub within three months.

After one day of processing I ran one loop of LD last evening and it’s hitting me now with a slight recon…

edit:
I’ll be running one loop of Alchemist in two days only. It seems to me I have to cut down on the Ultima and listen to it only once per week.

Main Disc. Thread - Ultima Core v2 Upgrades

In the past, I was able to do one loop or two loops of a Custom and maximally three or four of a regular program, nowadays it’s more like one loop of a Custom and perhaps two of regular programs – as far as Ultima’s are concerned one loop has me completely boggled for three days, lol!

It seems to me that’s the case, therefore, I decided to run one loop of LD a week.

[Sub.Zero]

It looks like LD is working on some fears I thought I had dealt with utterly. Like a feeling of anxiety when bypassing dogs and strangers (especially groups of teenage boys). I haven’t experienced that for some years but today when I bypassed a dog I started thinking it could attack me from behind and although I didn’t feel any fear my back flinched and once it happened the dog attacked me from behind. I turned around and faced it with no fear and it stopped. It was an interesting experience since my mind remained fearless and calm and only my body reacted to it (the flinch).

Also, today when I was bypassing two teenagers I started thinking how teenagers used to laugh at me once I bypassed them when I was at that age but today I didn’t feel any anxiety and when I bypassed them I heard one of them laughing behind my back when I was like twenty meters further. I felt nothing but my stomach flinched.

I realized what kind of people used to do that to me and I taught of one word only; “cowards”.

I was planning on doing two processing days after running LD but since I feel “fresher” I decided to run one loop of Alchemist today. Tomorrow I’ll be doing another processing day. I’m listening to Alchemist now, it feels nice!

Do you meditate while listening to Alchemist?

[Sub.Zero]

Do you meditate while listening to Alchemist?

Yes but cannot say it’s helped me a lot so far. There’s an improvement but not massive, maybe since I don’t do that to achieve some deeper states but just to relax.

[Sub.Zero]

Another thing I noticed today was my moves were not fluid but stiff and hindered, exactly how they were when I was a boy and my father used to call me “wooden boy” for that reason. It didn’t make me feel uncomfortable though but it seemed a bit weird.

I’m running another loop of Alchemist today, I want to see how it works for me. It feels really good too (like the first loop four hours ago).

Ultima seems to be okay if you give it around 30 hours for processing after running one loop, let’s do some more experiments on Q.

[Sub.Zero]

Although I ran two loops of Alchemist yesterday and I had a hard time falling asleep and I woke up for 30 minutes in the middle of the night I feel awesome today, my mood is very good and my energy level is high. Great!

[Sub.Zero]

Still no signs of overexposure or recon whatsoever. The energy level is still high and I feel solid. I might be close to discovering the formula… it depends on what repeating the experiment is going to reveal but so far it looks promising.
