Absolute Self Confidence 5.0 (free download)
Hi.
This is my first post. Sorry this is so long, but thought it useful to include details and some personal background info. Not sure where's best to post this, decided here is good enough. I have read a sufficient volume of positive testimonials to commit to completing Absolute Self Confidence 5.0. Yesterday was my first day listening. 12 hours or so. Today was my first day of interacting with others since. Never been to this website before yesterday, and in fact have never heard of this subliminal technology before yesterday.
In effect, I've committed to listening to rainwater for 90 days, or 96, I forget which.
I feel it worthwhile to commit to ASC 5.0, and to post my experience with it, because among other reasons both Shannon and his product(s) seems very sincere in ability and intention. Also, all things considered, I have to give a hat tip in the direction of "Hey, this stuff may in fact be legit...because today my interactions with people were somehow more genuine, more risky, and more positive than normal. Indeed, today could likely legitimately be filed away under the category of being "one of those unique and somewhat rare days where an unexpected emotional breakthrough/growth spurt happens, and I wish I could bottle whatever it is that caused this".
But on the other hand, maybe this is the booze talking. And by booze I mean a potential and strong placebo effect consisting of the following elements: (i) having read positive testimonials on the forum about the effectiveness of this technology; (ii) having listened to ASC 5.0 for 12 hours yesterday; (iii) wanting greatly to find something akin to a magic bullet to fix the bad neighborhood that is my habitually negative emotional mind.
Quick Background:
WHY I'M HERE (PROXIMATE CAUSE): Was searching internet for info on dating coach Cory Skyy's program and approach to picking up women, and discovered a thread by forum member Ryan. In short, I was intrigued by Ryan's knowledge of Cory Skyy and subsequent recommendation of using products from Subliminal Talk, specifically in lieu of the conscious affirmations that Cory Skyy recommends.
WHY I'M HERE (ULTIMATE CAUSE, or some such): SEX!!!!! WOMEN!!!! Ha Ha. This is (almost) true. I'm currently focused intently on creating/discovering a workable and highly satisfactory sexual identity. I'm 42, never been married, and have never been good with women. My core sexual identity is beta male. My first sexual partner, the only true love of my life, cheated on me 2-3 months into our relationship (I was 18, she 36). Slept with something like 10 women total in my life, and most of them while in my college years around late teens early 20's. Was in a 10 year relationship (no kids) with a great woman who I'm still friends with, but something was always missing. This ended probably 5 years ago, though still friends.
More and more I believe quite emphatically that for most of my adult life I've been missing an essential element of self: embracing my masculinity and sexual desires as a man. Don't get me wrong: during my 10 year relationship we had an active sex life. And when in college, I did my best to get laid as much as possible. But after college, in my core identity, I was playing the role of a man seeking monogomy, this is what society says is good, I should seek a long term relationship with "that special woman" kind of thing. And during my 10 year relationship, I continually was unable to attract my woman in the way I wished to.
Why the struggle for clear sexuality? At root are likely to be found the facts that (i) I grew up without a father figure, and (ii) I was alone as a male in my family, the younger brother of 2 sisters and a single, very conservative mother who embraced a religious view of sexuality: i.e. see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Essentially, sexuality was never discussed as I grew up, much less honored or embraced. (iii) Indeed, there was much shame associated with it. One of my sisters teased me mercilessly about my sexuality...i.e. questioned my heterosexuality (e.g. "tiny homo!"), made fun of the size of my penis (e.g. "you're a wimp!"). Good times.
Also, of importance to note, I have always been very cerebral. This served an important purpose for my emotional survival in my family of origin---a never ending tangle of dysfunction and pathology. Surely it could have easily been much worse, and there are many positives to take from my youth---like for example, ultimately, no one intended to do harm, etc.---however, nonetheless, I became a very, very introspective and sensitive person who also, as a shadow of this, tends to be very judgemental and suspicious of people (i.e. in addition to being so toward myself, including my sexuality).
Clearly, I have adopted many negative behavioral and thought patterns as a result. I've spent much, much time trying to untangle all of this. Surely we all have differing degrees of negative patterns in ourselves and it is one of our life's important tasks to learn to make lemonade from the lemons in our lives.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Anyhow, moving onto my direct experience with ASC 5.0:
Almost the entirety of my social life occurs at work (grocery/general merchandise store). It is my intention and goal to change this, but for the time being this is the fact I have to work with.
Today, after having yesterday off, I returned to work and my mind/emotions felt unusually free and clear. Not totally free and clear, mind you, but noticeably so. And I might add, so much so that as I mention above, today could legitimately be categorized as a uniquely positive day for me, a day which normally happens perhaps once every 3 or 4 weeks (?).
And for the most part this positivity and freedom was sustained throughout most of the day, being very strong in the first hour or two, and leveling off afterwards.
Also, I felt less needy toward people. Neediness is my natural default position vis-a-vis' women, though I'm quite conscious of the PUA community and, through it, the fact that a needy posture and mindset is a bad deal, and signal that internal beliefs and outward actions need to be changed. To this end, I've been directly working on my sexuality and enhancing my alpha qualities for, say, six months or so.
Today I was more in the moment without trying to be so, busy internally enjoying my own precense and activity instead of casting my eyes and attention elsewhere...i.e. normally, the curves of the sexually mature females in the vicinity...or their faces to see whether they notice me and/or want me. Lol, I have no idea whether any of them ever "want" me or not. I don't even know at this point whether women (a) even think this way; or (b) if they did, if they are even conscious of it. Perhaps, I wonder, their desire is more a fleeting thing, based upon their emotional state of the moment, and a thing below the surface of their consciousness, and therefore to be sustained, needs to be consciously caressed and brought forth by a man. Brought forth arduously, I might add. At least for me at this point...knowing so devastatingly little about how to seduce. lol. Argh.
I was more open and honest with coworkers today. Not all of them, but some of them. And I didn't plan to do this. I cared less today. And I was approached by customers more often than usual, and was more spontanous and fun-loving when interacting with them--also not a preplanned strategy I chose before arriving to work. And my voice was deeper and tonality stronger, and my intent clearer, because I was embracing something more masculine than usual.
A little girl of 4 years or so said hi to me, and I jumped right into a very brief conversation with her. After, I believe I heard her say to her mom "I love him." LOL. This little episode alone could probably be taken as strong evidence for positive rewiring happening in my head.
Anyhow, I have to say that all in all, it feels like something real is happening in my brain. It's waaaay too early to call the race, and I want to be cautiously optimistic. We'll see, but I've seen enough and felt enough in this very brief period of two days to conclude that it seems likely that this stuff is working to some significantly impactful degree for my betterment and my better fulfillment, which if true is a marvelous, marvelous thing. But like I said we'll see.
PS: Concrete indication of brain rewiring going on: Last night, after some large number of hours listening to ASC 5.0, reached for kitchen cupboard handle to retrieve pepper from cabinet notorious in my apartment for roach visitation...as I reached, somewhat hesitantly in anticipation of possible roach encounter, I felt a drop of cold water on the small of my back, though I was wearing a tshirt, and though it wasn't raining in my kitchen. The sensation was so real that I physically untucked the back of my shirt and thoroughly felt my lower back to make sure I was only "hallucinating". It should be noted that I never have such random sensations. This one, however, felt very real. The episode was somewhat freaky, though overwhelmingly in an amusing and interesting way. Caused by listening to ASC 5.0? Very likely. In no way am I alarmed, however. Just reporting.
PSS: I'm sharing all this because this product seems legit...at the very least in intent. It's significant to me that Shannon released ASC 5.0 for proof of concept purposes. Clearly, he believes in his products, and wants to demonstrate their effectiveness. It's a risk, but one he willingly takes. I respect that. What's more, however, if this technology is for real, people will benefit from knowing about it and what better way than through learning about the positive experiences of others. On the other hand, if it's not so much for real, people will benefit from know this as well. Finally, if it is for real, I will gratefully promote the fact.
Cheers.
