Viktor’s Victory Venture (LE + DRR)

[Viktor]

I decided to move to stage 2 next cycle.

I’ll use +2m instead of +3s, starting from 1m.
I think it’s fine to go fast like that. Stage 1 is supposed to be the hardest, it was not hard at all. I would be surprised if stage 2 turns out to be significantly harder.

I will slow down and stop when i feel it’s too much though. Being able to be productive is still my biggest priority.

@SaintSovereign

While the previous stage focused completely on breaking down, Dragon Blood takes a slower approach that can often dissolve the more stubborn areas that Dragon Fire is unable to. With this approach, anything that Dragon Fire cannot tackle will be easily healed and transformed through Dragon Blood.

Using ~10 cycles of LBFH and ~4 cycles of WB + ~12 cycles of HeO has already healed me significantly from most of my problems. I’m glad i didn’t jump straight to DRR when i bought it long ago.

@Athanaxos

What does your gut and intuition tell you?

honestly, i almost forgot to give more weight to what my intuition says. i think you’re right, I’m gonna listen to my intuition for this one.

this made me look more into my intuition
holy shit it’s powerful, and I’ve been taking it for granted because it has been the new normal ever since i used HeO

i have more moments where i just “know”, like it’s a certainty.
this is different than before i used HeO.

now that i think about it, why did i even start using DRR?
logically speaking, using Limitless first would be the right order for my needs.
but i just felt like it was the right time to use DRR. i jumped on board immediately & just made up random excuses to go along with it.

Be that as it may, something about DRR made you want to run it. Were they really just excuses, or maybe there is something deeper there that might just be masked? Idk. What are your thoughts about it?

Running Limitless first is just as viable an option as doing it after or stacked with DR.

@Athanaxos

I just re-read my journal and i realized that i didn’t even write an excuse to run DRR, i just somehow slipped it into my stack as if it’s the natural thing to do.

@Viktor

I want to risk it and swap DRLD to DR Red next cycle. The Executive & DRLD are overkill if there’s no LBFH or WB in the stack. So i think i can use DR Red just fine.

honestly i don’t know what i want from DRR. All i know now is DRR stage 1 gives me a boost in the things i want with no downside. which, ironically, is exactly what I want now that I think about it.

DRR is perfect, it enhances everything without any additional stuff. no weight, no recon, just a flat increase to my quality of life.

@Viktor

i love this sub. it’s just a flat upgrade to my daily life with no downside.

that’s true. it’s just funny to me that I’ve been planning to use Limitless for months, but then DRR came out and something inside of me just said “yep, it’s the time to use DRR”.

DRR1 15m

@Viktor

RM:V & UWX slowly ignited another layer of motivation in me. It reminded me of my dream years ago that i abandoned.

Just like how LBFH added another layer of motivation by using healthy attachment, now I have a big goal that I want to achieve.

I’ve been shifting my focus and working on this dream i had.
Now I’m gonna swap RM:V to Mogul.
It’s time to focus on funding and growing.

Mogul is the smoothest sub I’ve ever run with virtually no recon and only upsides.
So I wanted to use EoG to take it to the next level, but using it alongside DRR seems like an overload & recon hell.

NR also looks fun, but i only want the slight monetary boost from Mogul, like a lucky charm.
I don’t want to add the potential for recon by introducing a new sub alongside DRR. I know DRR is smooth for me to run, but i won’t take unnecessary risks, especially concerning the responsibilities I’m taking.

[Viktor]

Since i’m moving to the next stage, this is my review of DRR1:

DRR1 fixed my loneliness from stopping LBFH.
It boosts my productivity in a healthy way.
Meditation is now easier.

There’s a different kind of confidence growing in me. One that makes me be more composed.
It’s similar to HeO, but different. It’s hard to explain.

Overall, it’s a flat, straightforward increase to every aspect of my life. Everything just becomes better & easier. No new concepts to grasp, just a simple increase to everything. It’s perfect.

DRR1 is way smoother than LBFH & RM:UWX, a bit smoother than HeO, and almost ties with Mogul, which is as invisible as it gets when it comes to recon.

My experience with DRR1 is almost like how it was with Mogul. No downsides & no redirections, only upsides.

If DRR1 is a standalone, i wouldn’t even think about changing it. But DRR2 awaits & i want to see what it can bring to the table.

[Viktor]

No recon so far.

Now is the time for the 5 day washout.
I’ll try listening to DRR2 fully next, if i feel weight when i listen to it before 15m, i’ll stop.

[Viktor]

DRR is top notch for productivity.
It increases it a lot, but it doesn’t go too far like DRLD.

I’ll take out The Executive from my plan. DRR is enough. I prefer to spend the extra time on other things rather than doing even more work. I’m already a workaholic as is.

To be honest, DRR’s effect on productivity is the last thing i expected from it.
I thought it was gonna send me straight into a spiral of lethargy recon.

[Viktor]

DRR2 15m

it felt heavy from around 8-9m.
i decided to delay the 5 rest days and listen to DRR & Mogul now. Using less than 21 days every cycle is useful in times like this since i can just shift the schedule around whenever it’s needed.

---

Update 1:

Jumping straight to 15m before a washout while being exhausted, sleep deprived and super busy is not the brightest idea i had, rofl.
Idk if it’s recon or just not enough rest. most likely the latter.

[Viktor]

I want to journal but everything is skewed by lack of sleep, exhaustion & how busy I am.
Well, I’ll be back when everything has stabilized

[Judoka]

Have you personally noticed better effects from increasing subliminal listening time by +3s +4s or +5? I only listen to my subliminals 8 loops a cycle so if i only increase by 3s everytime i would only increase by 24s per cycle

[Viktor]

When i use +3s/+5s, my goal is to have as little recon as possible. So the effects of the sub is secondary. It’s a stability over gains strategy.

The effects vary, if it’s under 20-30s, they are mostly subtle. Not as deep as getting longer exposure.

If you want to take it slow, use +10s instead. Anything lower is only good if you want to avoid recon above all else.

[Judoka]

I think i will use +5s increases,too scares to use +10s in the fear of recon

[Viktor]

I felt like I went through half a year’s worth of internal & external experiences in a few weeks.
I went through a lot, learned so much. I don’t know how much was from DRR’s effects, but it got a lot of different perspectives that I hadn’t experienced before.

Honestly I’m exhausted, but I can’t stop yet, not yet.
Gotta push through for at least a few months.
Hopefully there won’t be any lethargy recon from DRR stage 3 & 4.

I won’t take it slow either, if I notice any lethargy when I switch to them, I’ll go back straight to DRR1.
I can’t risk spending time & effort battling against lethargy to get accustomed to the next stages.
Nothing is more important than stability now, DRR1 has given me the best effects with no downside.

This is also why I use Mogul instead of NR. I can’t risk getting the lethargy recon from using a new sub.
I’ve used Mogul for ~6-7 cycles and it has always been a sub that offers me only upsides with no recon. It feels invisible on the inside, but the results speak for itself on the outside.

I might gonna slip in RM:V for the creativity boost or HeO for general fulfilment in life. But they won’t be a mainstay in the stack for a while as i need to focus for now.

[Viktor]

Funny how I decided to say fuck it and started all of these because of the inspiration I got from RM:V.
But because of that, i can’t really spend time dealing with music anymore, rofl.

[Viktor]

I think i can finally pin point 1 clear effect from DRR2:

I’m more open minded, much more eager for stuff, i take things for granted less, adoration for the things in the world etc

some stuff that i only saw in passing before is much more appealing now. it’s not really gratitude, but more about awareness of the world & fascination towards them.

I don’t know if i describe it correctly, but that’s how i feel. Things are just hitting me like I’m a child discovering the world. The things that i used to feel disinterested in are becoming more intriguing.

Like a whole starry sky has just been revealed in front of my eyes.
It’s not as grand as that, but it’s the closest analogy that can describe my experience.

---

I like it, but i much prefer DRR1 as it’s just a straight improvement to everything in my life. No new concepts/changes that i need to adapt to. DRR1 fits my circumstances better at this point in time.

Idk, I might just start using DRR1 again until my life becomes less hectic.
But I’ll stay with DRR2 for now. I have only been using it for 4 loops across 12 days anyway.

[Viktor]

DRR2 3m

What the fuck am i doing trying to find the balance for DRR2? This is not the time for it.
It has only been a week into the cycle, but I’ll take an early washout and switch back to DRR1.
I can’t afford to play around. Finding out that DRR2 gives me recon is the last thing I want now.
I need to focus on life.

DRR1 is proven to be the overall boost that I need.
Mogul is important for my current endeavour.
Both are light, almost invisible with no push for new concepts I need to integrate.
They are what I need now.

---

The extra urge to listen to music is not really there anymore.
I don’t get the “extra perception” & deeper feelings when i listen to music too.

Well, I stopped using RM:V after only ~2 cycles, so that’s to be expected.
But some effects still linger and some changes in my life stay.

–

Sub-hopping is insane, every sub is immensely life changing, both inside and outside.
Having different life changing experiences every single month is too much.

With what I chose to go through now, that kind of frequent change is unsustainable at best.
I’m going to postpone going to the next stage and stay with DRR1 until life has become less hectic.
No swapping subs either. I wish i had stayed with HeO, but I can’t risk the instability from swapping DRR for it now.

[Viktor]

I’m starting to feel the absence of HeO.

The extra push for mastery and quality is not there. It’s not as strong as before.
This feels weird, i ran HeO for 12 cycles straight, i had taken this for granted.

It feels like I’m slipping up, becoming more lenient to the values i held up high.
The effects & the changes HeO brought are still there, just not as prominent.

This is not entirely bad, let’s see how much I can muster with my own power alone without HeO’s help.

[Parsifal]

How long is ot, that you don’t run LBfh and HeO anymore?

Did you consider running a short loop of both to reactivate the scripting?

Nothing major, only like 5 minutes of each, once every 6 weeks or so.

[Viktor]

I finally have time to meditate again

I realized that i haven’t been trusting myself enough. There’s a part of myself that’s still hungry for control, it’s so subtle that i wasn’t aware of this before.

Maybe DRR helped me to see this hidden layer of myself.
