To avoid confusion down the line, I will abbreviate the titles in my stack like this:
- GEM [Genesis Mogul]
- GOM [Godlike Masculinity]
- LL [Limitless]
I will be going with a non-standard 11+3 listening schedule to facilitate long-term ease of use and to ensure an extra integration/resting period mid-cycle. This means I will be doing 28 days / 4 weeks per cycle.
To achieve a steady flow of motivation and drive I will listen to Genesis Mogul and Limitless on separate days. Probably like this:
- Day 1 - Genesis Mogul | Godlike Masculinity
- Day 2 - Rest
- Day 3 - Limitless
- Day 4 - Rest
…
I created a detailed offline spreadsheet to accurately document my listening times and schedule. I am ready to go.
Start: Sunday, August 24, 2025

how did you make your text centered?
By using this piece of formatting:

To avoid confusion down the line, you should know that there are official abbreviations for the titles.
Genesis: Mogul → G:M or GM
Godlike Masculinity → GLM
Limitless → nothing official, if abbreviated mostly Lim
If someone reads GEM or GOM he’ll just be confused.

I am aware that there are some commonly used acronyms for the titles. But I use the acronyms I stated above in this journal for my own convenience. To make other people aware of that fact, I declared it.
I trust that people can read.

I thought it might be a good idea to share my audio set-up.
Since I have had 10+ years of ultrasonic subliminal input I am totally using the masked versions now. The masking sound is nice, although I suspect it sounds even better in lossless format. Man, 24bit 48kHz flac would be really nice 
I am using in ear monitors - my trusty Sennheiser IE 200 with SpinFit W1 tips. I also have a pair of AKG 272 HD headphones, but IEMs have become so incredibly good in the last few years that my AKGs mostly collect dust these days. Anyway, during my testing in the previous weeks I arrived at 20% as my sweet spot volume-wise.
I’m using mpv for playing the titles, but with the added parameter--speed=1000000000/1000000000. A little gem of an effect I once got as a result of a months long audio experimentation streak. I will not explain here what it does, only that it does not change the playback speed in this case. If you are a curious audiophile, grab your earphones/headphones, your favorite lossless album (I am listening to the 2021 re-issue of Miles Davis’ 1959 Kind of Blue in 24bit 96kHz flac as I am writing this), get mpv and test it for yourself 
So yeah, that’s my set-up.

From now on, I will reformulate the term “rest” – in the sense of “a day without subliminal input” – as “integration”. This bit of reframing will help me to see input-free days as what they are at all times: processing, integration and consolidation.
I think you can get flac as an option in customs if you ever decide to go that route

Day 1Genesis Mogul 3:00
Godlike Masculinity 3:00
Listened to the titles directly after waking up. They put me back to slumber for half an hour. After getting up, I was deeply relaxed but lacking in mental clarity. I am going to cut the listening time by half. Slow and steady. It's a marathon after all.
Went for a walk. Ran into my landlord along the way. A bit small talk, then he gave me some career advice. I am not even surprised and feel like I am on autopilot. Thinking about it, the advice is interesting. Pointing at an angle I haven’t thought about.
Only now, an hour later, I am beginning to mentally wake up. Might be the caffeine though.

Getting noticeably tired in the afternoon. But I am learning Markdown just to learn something new.
Day 2Integration
Today things are just ever so slightly off. I am slightly restless. I am slightly less mentally clear. I feel a slight anger at intermittent intervals, like thunder in the far distance on a sunny day. Little pin pricks.
Nevertheless, I am having fun with Markdown. Learning about it led me to Zettlr, which I am playing around with at the moment. I am more of a LaTeX guy, traditionally. But I can see the appeal and the advantages of Markdown. Is this immediatly useful for me now? Apart from learning something new and stimulating my gray matter, not really. But I always benefited from learning and being able to use these types of framework languages later on.
Now that I am focussing on thinking and writing here for a minute, I am feeling content.
Your trust is well placed in the fact that people can read.
Even if you declared it, if you would like your journal more easy to read by other forum members, you can choose to use the commonly used acronyms.

Since I am using the actual names of the titles most of the time, the acronyms won’t be important. But I will compromise by adding descriptors like this: GEM GOM LL. Why do I bother to do that? Because in my eyes it is easier to misinterpret GM/G:M and GLM in a block of text than GEM and GOM. And since I am running both Genesis Mogul and Godlike Masculinity here, it does kind of bother me.
On another note, what I am missing from the posts of @Parsifal and you is a link to an actual list of commonly used acronyms. This would actually point everyone reading and thinking about this to a useful resource. The only thing I found resembling such a list was this post by @Sub.Zero, which is unfortunately deprecated and not maintained.
Update:
Reading this post again, I realize that it can come across a bit snotty. I am probably arguing more for the sake of argument, which is unfair to @RVconsultant.
If I am going as far as introducing descriptors to my acronyms, I can just as easily apply those same descriptors to the acronyms everybody else here is used to, to clarify which title I am talking about 
Still, a maintained acronym list or a dictionary as @Sub.Zero called it would be nice.
Yes, I think it would be cool if every new member got a welcome message with the “dictionary”.
I remember that I struggled a bit in the beginning due to being unfamiliar with the lingo.
Day 3Limitless 1:30
First thought on Limitless:
Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Update:
It’s actually not the Casablanca version that is stuck on repeat in my mind

Day 3continued
Today is a good day. Good mood, the sun is shining. I had some extra time and went for a stroll in the city. Ended up visiting a perfume shop and chatted for almost an hour with the proprietress while sampling a range of summery fragrances. While I do like the aquatics, there were some really nice citrus and fruity ones.
After that I just had to take a route through the local park. The way the sun shone through the canopy and bathed the plant life in warm light was great.
What a wonderfully carefree summer day
