THAT’S A FUNNY SUGGESTION
(Comedy, Storytelling, Hypnosis)
Daredevil Core
Primal Core
Synergy: Tale of the Dragon
Focus: Song of Joy
Synergy: Primordial Aura
Power Talk
Synergy: Beyond Seduction
FOCUS: Transcendental Connection
Polyglot
Symphony of Glyphs
Vortexdive Crucible
Joie de Vivre
Current Invoker
The Flow
Synergy: Subconscious Mastery
Not sure yet if this would go together.
Saint once said that Daredevil and Renaissance Man are a good Cores combo for Standup Comedians.
I can see that.
Primal feels kinda essential for reading the room, knowing which way to strike and not giving a shit. Especially the last part. A hostile room can be absolutely brutal emotionally and I think Primal gives the best foundation to handle/prevent one.
But probably also depends what you are going for. LB would be another interesting direction.
CONTEMPLATING COMEDY
Laughing was always a coping mechanism for me, probably my strongest. When things really go bad, after the tears, all guards are down and a laugh lifts even higher.
Looking around, at politics, german society, there will probably be no shortage of coping opportunities in the near future.
As I like to directly tell stories and laugh with others, stand-up is probably the comedy path of choice.
Sorting through, boxing modules:
Comedy Quintessentials
No comedy custom without them.
On Stage
Stage presence, presentation, handling hecklers.
Mechanics of Comedy
Working on voice, language, setting the right tone, tact, timing, structure.
The Element of Surprise
Strictly speaking part of the Mechanics building the punch line is the most important part and deserves its own category.
All the Funny Wells
Modules to channel anger, despair, grief and disgust into all the funny bits.
Unsorted, stuff
Comedy Quintessentials
No comedy custom without:
Daredevil Core (for: Storytelling, connecting with the audience, be everything but boring)
PRIMAL Core (for: Reading the room, dealing with hecklers, bringing positivity, always finding the right tone and oneliners.)
Synergy: Tale of the Dragon (with Focus: Dragon Tongue and Focus: Song of Joy)
Vortexdive Crucible (has Comedy written all over it.)
On Stage
Stage presence, presentation, handling hecklers.
Stonelike and Stillmind (against stage freezes)
Synergy: Iron Law (for heckler, taunts, hostile audience)
Focus: Instant Spark (for the 1st impression)
King‘s Radiance (For undivided attention and commanding the stage)
Everpresent
Moment Immortalized
[PRIMAL Core]
[Daredevil Core]
Mechanics of Comedy
Working on voice, language, setting the right tone, tact, timing, structure.
Seeker’s Discernment (for distilling the truth and essence)
The Lines (to map out jokes and narration.)
Subconscious Flow (to fine tune performance, is SF the proto-NSE?)
Power Talk
Synergy: Voice of the Law
Lifeblood Fable (for building the stage persona)
Symphony of the Glyphs (For building/using/warping symbols and metaphors)
Virtuoso di Musica (Comedy is a lot like music. Setting the right tone, the power of the pause, mind the gap, not missing a beat, ending on the right note.)
[Daredevil Core]
The Element of Surprise
Visionary („ It’s specifically designed to enhance your ability to synthesize diverse and seemingly unrelated pieces of information, enabling you to discover actionable insights that remain elusive to others.“ ← That‘s how punchlines are made.)
Alexandria (to find the different angle)
The Single Point
[Daredevil Core]
All the Funny Wells
Modules to channel anger, despair, grief and disgust into all the funny bits.
The Flow
Starfilled Night.
Synergy: Subconscious Mastery (To find the big, shared truths in small stories.)

Fenrir (Every good story needs a villain. Every comedy even more so.)
Potentiator
[Vortexdive Crucible]
[Daredevil Core]
Unsorted, Stuff
Way of Understanding (to better connect with the audience.)
Victory’s Call (for transgressive fun)
Temptation (For a bit more playful edge?)
Thunder (For comebacks?)
Synergy: Glory Incarnate
Focus: Joie de Vivre (maybe already covered by Daredevil and Primal)
Synergy: Primordial Aura (I dig the Count Dracula vibe (Lee‘s Dracula that is). Not sure it could/should/would work with comedy, but I am tempted to try. Maybe for weird, unique tension solved in the punchlines?)
Polyglot
Synergy: Beyond Seduction
Synergy: 42 and SAM//VANA (Really like comedy drifting in different, unexpected direction like horror, dystopia or sci-fi. Transgressive metahumor. 42 and SAM//VANA look perfect for it.)
Different Routes
Renaissance Man is probably a must, if the comedy is meant to work in different media, more experimental concepts. (campaigns, advertising, performances)
Renaissance Man: Ultimate Writer X for comedic writing.
Lovebomb for more feelgood comedy?
Daredevil and Primordial Aura are made for each other.
Powerful cluster.
It probably doesn’t matter which road (sub) one takes first.
Khan St. 1, DR, Primal to get comfortable in your skin, Saguine, Phoenix or Love Bomb to learn self love: Clear out the junk, learn self acceptance and who you are, then start the journey.
Everything’s easier this way.
After endless tinkering and testing of module combinations,
I think I will settle for these 3 longterm in a stack:
Spartan: Apex Warrior Core
Legacy of the Spartan Core
Synergy: Iron Law
Synergy: Preordained Vitality
Synergy: Harmonic Conflux
SPS: Cardiovascular System
SPS: Respiratory System
SPS: Digestive System
Single Point
Inexhaustible
Stillmind
I. Khan Black Stage 3 Core
II. Ascension Chamber Core
III. NWE Core
IV. Synergy: The Golden One
V. Synergy: Machine Totality
VI. Focus: Void of Creation
VII. Synergy: Carpe Vitam
VIII. Synergy: Divine Dominion
IX. AI Whisperer
X. Treasure Finder
XI. Free Pass
XII. DEUS
XIII. Fortune’s Favorite
Maybe I will occasional rotate Love Bomb in but on reflection: It is more often than not root of my recon and I need to be reliably productive for the next couple of months.
Thoughts?
May I ask about your motivation to move from KB4 to KB3? It crossed my mind last week but I struggle with the thought of “downgrading”.
I understand the sentiment. Goal was to cut everything, that isn’t really necessary right now, takes too much bandwidth or brings too much recon. It was a difficult decision to move Love Bomb out. It’s also why NR or ASBR got swapped for NWE, The Golden One and a lot of result enhancers. (With the manifestation aspects taking inspiration from @Invictus’ earlier customs.)
I tried both in different customs and KB4 takes just way more bandwidth in a custom. Had KB1 - KB3 for a cycle each, KB4 now continously in the stack for half a year, that should give me a solid basis. Sure, the aspects of KB1 and KB2 would still help, but as I am not doing serious energy work right now, the space is better used in a different way. (Final push was probably @RockyHandsome using KB3 with S:AW and LotS in a custom to good results.)
Motivation for the last bit of streamlining gave this quite inspirational post by @JCDenton:
While I work a lot with metaphors, archetypes and stories, momentum struck me as an element that I didn’t take into account enough in the past. It’s just easier and quicker to speed up from 100 to 120 than from 0 to 20 mph.
So, I’ll try to make them as comprehensive as necessary, but as light and focussed as possible.
Worth a try:
Contemplating the NSE and my overall approach to life.
I’ve been wondering why Love Bomb and Primal brought up old trauma, wounds, the validation complex in such a brutal and distilled fashion.
My life at the moment isn’t really tense, every aspect is more or less organized, the social circle small but very cozy. These (teachable) moments really stuck out. That’s good, because I could recognize and use them.
Probably it’s my way of working on things overall. I am not good at Flickwerk (roughly: piecemeal), I want to take on the whole thing, concentrate fully on it (<- hardest part) think it through from top to bottom, solve it and move on.
All the NSE moments were very comprehensive. Really looking forward to the NWE and solving the money ceiling in this way.

ordered.
Plan is to run them for a year.
Just discovered this thread of yours.
Very interesting, I’ll probably steal the idea to collect my custom plans for future use.
When I read the content of TGoO my first thought was that the core is missing. Like the core core. But then, of course, it seems like you’ve got your thing running already, so this might be a valid approach.
Only, Void of Creation.
In my understanding, Focus modules work as a Focus on Synergy module. So if you have a Synergy module in your custom, like Tale of the Dragon and since you’re in sales, you add TS to set a strong Focus on your sales skills, then it’s a Focus module. Without the Synergyodule, it’s just another module…
On another note, did you notice that modules like fenrir or primordial aura were visible in your writing?
I’d have guessed that stuff like Song of Joy or DD that change the way you speak reflect in writing.
But with modules like aura of Craving, ebony maneuver etc,… I wouldn’t have thought.
Please do! I often find the thoughts of other members on the roads not taken at least as enlightning as the customs they build.
Swapped NRICH and ASBR in and out again. If I am honest I need to crack this wealth ceiling for good first. Some deep seated misconceptions on money/wealth are still very much there. So, eliminating all blockages, freeing and increasing energy flow (including money) and reframing the whole complex are the first goals. In a way the NWE is the core core of this custom.
True. I just keep “Focus:” in the list as a reminder that a corresponding Synergy module is available.
Didn’t use Fenrir so far, I suspect the writing would change straight away. Fighting an enemy til the end can be a quite powerful structuring impulse (in any kind of writing).
With Primordial Aura, yes, though it is not straight away. So far it is not so much the writing and the style but how I approach writing, how to better engage with readers and to understand what makes e. g. (rather badly written) characters such as Mr. Grey or James Beaufort (from the SAVE trilogy) so incredible alluring and succesful with female readers. Kinda hard to describe but a lot of emotional insights.
Overall, PA is a massive module and I can feel it, well, developing. So a kinda magnetic aura growing with people literally drawn towards me and the temptation element clicks quite sexy with DD. Will probably become a staple.
Building music playlists corresponding to subs is probably a good idea.
There are certain songs that get me into a writing mood, others push me while working out, so why not find the vibe of/for a sub?
Music can carry me a long way. Maybe it would help with recon, because you better get “intune” with a sub. It would overall be an interesting emotional examination with subliminals.
The whittling down of module lists, the distilling of a custom works well for me. Like the catching of a strong spirit in a digital bottle.
It forces to examine every single aspect, to prioritize and sort your goals. It brings a lot of clarity.
A v5 just feels right. It’s the first custom I consider for QTKS.
First couple of thoughts on a possible
- A vQTKS -
1. Daredevil Core
2. Primal Core
3. Synergy: Primordial Aura
4. Synergy: Beyond Seduction
5. Synergy: Subconscious Mastery
6. Synergy: Tale of the Dragon
7. Focus: Song of Joy
8. Synergy: Worlds Untold
9. The Flow
10. Polyglot
11. Current Invoker
12. Edge of Falling
13. Subconscious Flow
14. Focus: Dragon Tongue
15. King’s Radiance
All bold modules are fix.
Primal I will check in a couple of months, to see if it has settled in enough or if it does make more sense to run it open ended.
Synergy: Beyond Seduction could be swapped for Focus: Instant Spark. Long Range Seduction kinda makes sense for performances too though. It will probably stay.
Focus: Dragon Tongue would be a nice addition to Synergy: Tale of the Dragon.
King’s Radiance was excellent in the second version of A., not sure how well it would click with Primordial Aura.
Very much looking forward to RM: Vibes and possible relatives. It could be an interesting option to swap Primal longterm for something around poetry (lyrics), rhythm and melody. Also: Curious if we get a New Artist’s Experience with RM:V.
Always run every QTKS custom in exactly the same constellation beforehand in a normal Q custom.
