Which Sub(s) to choose? Advice please :)

I’m going through a similar situation.
Life coaching since 2020, procrastination since like forever.
This feeling of wasting my potential completely.

I made very good progress using SC subs, only procrastination didn’t improve much.
For this, your biggest chance is Emperor Executive since it has a lot of special features for neurodivergant folks like us.

One sub I’d like to add is Ecstasy of Gold Stage 1.
It has a feature called “Worthiness Calibration” that is focused on healing self worth issues.
Also a lot more for healing other financial issues.

Hello and I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a long and considered response!

I’m completely new to subliminal tech and to this company, but as a newcomer, it speaks volumes regarding the kindness and integrity of yourself and the business that you’d go out of your way to advise and recommend free products to start with.

I’ve been mulling over your responses for the last few hours (and my responses to your reponses!).
Letting the thoughts, emotions, urges and resistances all percolate, waiting for clarity and insights to emerge. It’s a work in progress (isn’t everything?!), but I’m getting there :slight_smile:

Again, it’s really good to read this (in terms of shared experience, not that I’m happy to know your suffered, just to be clear!) :slight_smile:
Yes, I considered this and the idea of it being a protective measure seems likely to be a root of the problem.

Regarding another root, funnily enough, I had a kind of moment of clarity last night after writing my first message here.
It occurred to me that - for example - I have no problem spending hours reading through posts here and researching product descriptions, reviews and feedback, etc.
Equally no problem reading the Financial Times or the latest science research articles; I can spend an hour or more daily just keeping up to date with all the latest articles.
Or experimenting with different coffee beans and espresso making refinements (in terms of a practical and more physical activity).

I really want to improve my foreign language skills, guitar, maths and science skills etc etc.
But the demand avoidance kicks in massively there.

So I feel the ‘demand avoidance’ is more just a symptom of how I am mentally framing what I perceive to be the process involved with learning or improving a particular skill or area of knowledge.

The length of time required, the minutes or hours per day, the things likely to cause pain or difficulty.
The interaction between the desire for growth and development, and the consciously or subconsciously remembered pain of past failures or struggles (or failures to even get started). The already-extant limiting beliefs.

Still thinking about this, but the clarity is nice :slight_smile:

Also, just to add that whilst I’m new to the subliminal world, I have been under the care of medical specialists for the chronic fatigue, autism, trauma etc for years, and have made quite a lot of progress with such things.

Additionally, with the 20-odd year background of life coaching and self-improvement, there’s been a gradual process of healing, reconciliation and mindset improvement, insights, distinctions and so on.
However, it’s a work that never ends - and never stops challenging and rewarding - and I do feel a lot of excitement around what things Subliminal Club may help to unlock, evolve and facilitate :slight_smile:

Thank you for your reply, and I really resonate with your pain regarding the procrastination!
I’m recently starting to use meditation and cold showers now as tools to help with this (and general self-development). The more we push into discomfort and challenge, the more we start to let our conscious minds assert more influence over our subconscious thoughts and urges.
That’s the theory at least; let’s see how it progresses :smiley:

Thanks again for this recommendation. I have downloaded Genesis just now.

Also, I was stuck between choosing Phoenix and DR: LD when I wrote the original post.
I just re-read the DR:LD product page and noticed it says at the bottom that “this stacks EXCEPTIONALLY well with Genesis”. That was encouraging, since I was leaning more towards DR:LD anyway lol.

I didn’t see any similar text on the Phoenix page though, so does this imply Phoenix would NOT be a good Sub to stack with Genesis (or at least, just not as well matched or synergistic as DR:LD? Just checking :stuck_out_tongue:

TL;DR:

You’re not stuck because you lack motivation.
You’re stuck because your nervous system doesn’t trust that action is safe.

You don’t need another sub.
You need to follow through on the one you just chose.

Genesis isn’t a feel-good sub.
It’s a state reset. A nervous system recalibrator.

Here’s what you do:

  • Run Genesis solo, 30 seconds every other day for Week 1

  • Anchor it to a 5-minute daily ritual (guitar, language, biz, doesn’t matter)

  • If you miss a day, post it publicly, not for shame, but to show your subconscious that action has consequence

  • No stacking, no optimizing, no second-guessing

  • Prove you can follow through without collapsing

DR:LD and Phoenix can wait.
The version of you that moves, can’t.

Start. Stabilize. Stick the landing. Then build the stack.

This builds identity through evidence, not effort.
No stacking. No optimizing. Just prove you can act without collapse.

Full protocol below.

Layman, you’re doing the thing again.

You just downloaded Genesis.
That was the move.
That was the shift.

And instead of running it, instead of giving your nervous system space to land, you’re already back in the stack comparison loop.

Not because you need a better option.
But because your subconscious is uncomfortable with finally making a decision.

Here’s the truth:

You don’t need to know whether DR:LD stacks better than Phoenix.
You need to run one sub and anchor one behavior, every other day, for 21 days.

That’s it.

No analysis.
No optimization.
No forecasting your future stack like it’s a portfolio.

This isn’t about picking the “perfect” second sub.
It’s about proving you can actually follow through on the first one.

You already made the right choice.
Now honor it.

Start Genesis.
Set your behavior anchor.
Don’t touch anything else for 21 days.

Phoenix can wait. DR:LD can wait.
The version of you that moves, can’t.

This is what I was going to post before I saw your new comment.

Layman, this is the clarity most people never get.

That realization, that you have no issue diving into hours of research, but freeze when it comes to skill acquisition or performance is your pivot point.

That’s not demand avoidance.
That’s protective identity preservation.

You’re not avoiding effort.
You’re avoiding the experience of being a beginner in domains where the consequences feel personal.

When you’re reading the Financial Times or tweaking espresso, there’s no scoreboard. No emotional risk.
But guitar? Language learning? Business?

Those carry the weight of:

“If I try and fail again, it confirms everything I’ve been trying to outrun.”

So your subconscious pulls the brake. Not because you’re broken.
But because it’s trying to protect your identity from evidence of inadequacy.

That’s why research feels productive.
But in truth, it’s just a simulation of progress without the cost of failure.

You don’t need a better mindset.
You need a system your nervous system can believe in.
And that starts with behavioral containers that are safe enough to enter, but structured enough to hold.

And this is where I’ll echo Saints’ recommendation, because he’s absolutely right.

Start with: Genesis: The Art of Happiness and Joy

Layman Protocol 1.0

1. Genesis: The Art of Happiness + Joy

This isn’t just a “feel good” sub.
It’s a state reset.

It gives your nervous system permission to relax long enough to try something, without collapsing under the weight of internal judgment.

It doesn’t hype you up.
It clears the noise that keeps you from even taking the first step.

Week 1 Stabilize & Observe

Goal: Create nervous system trust

  • Day 1: 30 seconds of Genesis
  • Day 2: Full rest
  • Repeat this rhythm for 7 days

Only increase loop duration if:

  • You feel zero emotional tension post-playback
  • You still take action on your 5-minute ritual that day
  • You’re not bracing, dissociating, or over-analyzing after listening

Focus: Calibrate your system. Don’t push. Just observe.

Reminder: This is not about progress. It’s about proof you can engage without collapse.

Start slow. Let the system breathe.

This is your inner calm builder, so your outer behavior can land without triggering system rejection.

2. Anchor Ritual (Behavioral Container)

Pick one emotionally weighted skill, language, guitar, business, math.
Now set a 5-minute daily container around it.

No expectations. No performance.
Just behavior that gently pressures identity.

You’re not building skill.
You’re building permission to act without fear of judgment.

3. Daily Rule (Consequence Loop)

If you miss the 5-minute action window, post it. Publicly.
No shame. No guilt.

Just proof to your subconscious that action matters.
That something actually happens when you don’t follow through.

That’s how new patterns get reinforced.
Not through desire.
Through visible consequence.

Why this works:

Because your subconscious doesn’t change from insight.
It changes when it sees proof that taking action didn’t destroy you.

And that’s what this system delivers.

Genesis: The Art of Happiness and Joy resets the nervous system.
The ritual reframes the threat.
The rule introduces controlled consequence, and consequence is what converts behavior into belief.

The entire Dragon Reborn series is just a hard title to run regardless of who you are or what level of inner development you’ve achieved. We’ve got some real bad asses here who have done years of it and the such, and those individuals must have an incredible level of resolve. Phoenix is a very condensed version of the DR series and as such, is much harder to wield. Limit Destroyer is more focused, and mostly revolves around the “destroy all limitations” functionality within the DR series.

That’s why I always recommend that people first use something to help soothe their mind and nerves, before jumping it. It’s legitimately a practical suggestion that isn’t based on anything other than the concept of “ensure that the soil is fertile before trying to grow,” which is what Genesis and LBfH is designed to do. You cannot build a house on an unsound foundation. It is always beneficial to stick to “beginner” titles (which is a faulty label in the first place) before moving on to something more advanced. Many people want to jump right into something very hard believing they can “handle it,” only to end up either regressing.

A person who lacks a sense of self-worth won’t be able to handle the highly positive and motivating scripting of a title like… say, EoG without having developed that inner wealth as easily as someone who has. If a script is telling you that you can achieve high societal status and wealth, and yet internally you look down upon yourself, the end result is going to most certainly be rough reconciliation as the outer circumstances and the inner circumstances simply does not match and the conscious mind cannot see how you could ever achieve what the script is saying you can do.

Thus, “reconciliation.” And reconciliation at it’s core is about imbalance. The outer circumstances and inner circumstances do not match and seems impossible to reconcile. This is what you may run into by going too far, too fast.

Thank you, hugely, for such a detailed and helpful reply.
May I ask what your background/experience is in relation to this topic?
I don’t mean that as a challenge or anything; you just come across as really having a deep understanding of these matters, so it made me curious :slight_smile:

Either way, your whole reply was pure gold. Sorry for exasperating you with my follow-up question about Phoenix vs DR:LD :joy:

I realised a while back that I have a habit and pattern.
I feel an urge to own things that I want, to have redundancy backups in case anything happens to the original (I mean physical stuff here, as well as digital). I want to Pokemon-style “catch 'em all”.
I think some of that comes from autism, some of it from insecurity and scarcity mindset.

And I further realised that I have a tendency to gather all the information on a skill or thing that I want to learn, plan, optimise and daydream about how I’m going to do it all, and sometimes after all that, then not take the required action.
I thought about this and realised it’s because doing those things, even more so if I spend money on it, feels like I’m taking positive action, but in reality, it’s just a hollow shell of the real thing.
I’m basically softening my inaction with comforters, to make myself feel like I’m changing when I’m just staying still. Gathering ever-more resources, rather than being resourceful by taking action with the ones I’ve already got.

Of course, realising this has helped me to start changing - and I really have made conscious progress with this in the last few months since I had this realisation. But, as you can see, the tendency has not been healed or overcome yet (and of course, not all of it is bad; there’s good things about being able to research, gather info, make strategic plans and purchases, as long as it’s all being done in a context that’s healthy, productive and focused on taking action).

So again, thank you for this answer, which has graciously made me aware of what I’m doing.
I shall follow your (and @SaintSovereign )'s advice and start Genesis, along with the rest of your action steps. Really appreciate it :slight_smile:

I’ve made a custom GPT helping to choose a right subliminal title for your goals. Be prepared for that this GPT is extremely non-biased and will recommend only those titles that you really need, not want. I taught him to think strategically and deeply. So you won’t get something like “if you want more money now, just go with RICH” or similar. It will try to learn as much as possible about your life, your skills, personality and more, to give you the best possible advice.

The algorithm is simple: tell it who you are, your context, your goals.

Tap a link.

P.S. Use it wisely, double check what it says.

Yes Realbad asses indeed, @Malkuth, @Akephalos , @James

to run Dragon for a long time is quite something, but the benefit must be even more profound,

the ROS AND ROM go well with them too, like having a magnifying glass.

big up to the person who came up with these beauties

hi @SaintSpring thanks for this. Can you confirm whether information posted in there will be confidential and not viewable by yourself or others?
I imagine people would want to know that lol :smiley:

Aside from that, I just tried it; it is excellent, but…
It seems that it needs updating; it was recommending products that don’t exist anymore, or older versions of current products, or stack listening times that are only suitable for pre-ZP files.
I think if it could be updated with updated product descriptions of the current Subs available (and deleting outdated ones) and have the stack listening protocol and stack rotation protocol updated to the latest advice, it would be an even more valuable tool for everyone!

I mean this all as constructive feedback; I hope that comes across in my post!

In any case, thank you for your tine and efforts in creating this GPT; much appreciated :slight_smile:

yes, it comes with privacy policy of OpenAI. Just as you can’t see what you I do in ChatGPT, I can’t see what you do there.

Really? I updated the knowledge base a few days ago when Emperor: The Executive came out. It probably applies to the general knowledge base, because some people (myself included) used to use ChatGPT for similar reasons and uploaded information that was current at the time, but now it’s outdated information, and there’s a statement in the OpenAI privacy policy that ChatGPT can be trained on the information you upload there.

But I will look into what I can do to make user experience better.

While ive put in a ton of action and had amazing results, I intuitively have always felt like self worth has been a huge roadblock for me. Gotta say, the self worth scripting in EOG 1 was massive for me, and allowed me to significantly improve my career situation by moving past a major limiting brief.

Im curious on how Genesis, and ascension play into that as well. Do they have their place as a foundation, or for self worth specifically, would you say AoH and Love bomb are better choices?

Layman, this reply shows everything you need to know about yourself.

Not because you figured it out.
But because you didn’t defend it.

That’s what changes people.

You spotted the pattern.
You owned it.
You didn’t intellectualize your way out of it this time.

Now we anchor that moment with action.

The instinct to research, collect, and “catch ’em all”? That’s not the enemy.
The enemy is using that instinct to avoid confrontation with discomfort.

So from this point forward:

Every resource you gather must have a behavior attached to it.
Every product you buy must be paired with a proof loop.
Every plan you build must answer this question:

“What behavior does this commit me to today?”

Otherwise, it’s shelfware.
Digitally or emotionally.

As for my background?
You don’t need it.

Because my job is not to be right.
My job is to hold up the mirror you’ve been avoiding, and force clarity through movement.

You don’t need another framework.
You need to become the kind of person who finishes things.

Start Genesis.
Anchor the ritual.
Post the behavior.

Let that speak for you.
Everything else is noise.

You’ve already made the shift.
Now prove it.
