Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

@Shannon bro you are best .. Thank You so much. Just came here to say this... (No I am not going anywhere lol). This is my home.

I appreciate the sentiment, and you're welcome, but to what do I owe this unexpected outpouring of gratitude?

[Shannon]

@Shannon Hey Shannon, I hope you are doing well. I did have an important question I wanted to ask though I hope it doesn't crossover into some spiritual discussion or anything like that. In your opinion what is the ego exactly? Is there any kind of link of what people call the ego and the subconscious? I ask that last one because I have seen more and more videos of people using this term and the way they describe it it almost seems like the subconscious being stuck in negative or false belief system as in regards to how it views reality. So I wanted to know if the ego is connected to the subconscious or perhaps people sometimes confuse the ego and subconscious. Sorry btw if this is some loaded question as well but I am confused by this concept and if it has any connection to the subconscious. Also if this question isn't appropriate here could you possibly put it else where? Thanks in advance for any info you can shed on this subject.

I think that there are multiple definitions of "ego", which leads to confusion.  There are also multiple different understandings of each definition, which further leads to confusion.  

It is my point of view that the "ego" exists as a part of our awareness which is both conscious and subconscious, operating (in simple terms) as a singular, but transcending the boundary of conscious and subconscious.  So part of it is conscious and part of it is subconscious.  It is actually significantly more complex than that, but I don't care to get too detailed because there will always be someone who disagrees and I don't care to get into that discussion.

The subconscious is not the ego, and the ego is not the subconscious.  The ego is a part of the whole, which operates within the whole such that part is and part is not "conscious".  The "conscious ego" influences the conscious primarily, and subconscious less so.  The "subconscious ego" influences the subconscious and conscious more equally.

It may be useful, if I can be descriptive enough, to imagine a graph showing the area within two axes of the graph which contains all the data points.  Similar to a scatter plot, but not showing points; instead it shows the limits of the points and the area in which they all fall, without reference to how many data points fall within any particular place within the area depicted.  

If you are still with me, there is an area from top to bottom that looks like a gradient which represents the conscious and subconscious.  The gradient crosses the chart such that above it is the definite conscious awareness and below it is the definite subconscious awareness.  The gradient represents the area where they come together and more or less coexist.  Think the "falling asleep" phase of sleeping.

Within this plot, imagine a jelly bean shape such that it extends mostly below the gradient, but some of it is above it.  Now elongate that shape and straighten it such that it is too thin and straight to be a jelly bean.  Now you have some sort of two dimensional visual representation of a very simplified representation of what I am talking about.

I don't know if this fully answers your question or not, but if not, please ask for what I did not get.

Hope things are going well for you.

Hi Shannon, thanks for your advice on running LTU5 after my relationship ended, it's been helping leaps and bounds, that's a world changing program you've created there.

Any chance of the writing  / creativity subliminal being built in the relatively near future, or is that one you'll wait until 6G for? Thank you.

You're welcome.  

At the moment, I'm doing four programs round robin, and I am thoroughly overloaded.  So a writing sub will have to wait a bit.

So US LM is one of those but what are the other 3?

I am working on FRM, USLM, Secret Something A Prototype 8 and Secret Something B Prototype 1.

I am having a good time with FRM right now.  And SSB-P1.

Heh, I figured that meant DMSI must have been the "prototype 8", thinking as in 8th version. Because I know that was in the round of subs being worked on now. But when I checked my folder for DMSI, I counted more than 8 versions already, so that can't be it. That means there are two other programs in front of it now. Hmm.

Glad FRM is being worked on though, looking forward to seeing FRM4.9 or whatever the next version ends up being called due to changes.

Assumptions, assumptions.  I said I'm worrking on it, not that it is ahead of DMSI.  I am worrking on these four to be maximally productive while I figure out FRM 4.9 and then I'm going to do DMSI.  But FRM 4.9 is going to take me some very intricate scripting to accomplish.  So since I can't burn out... might as well work on these other things as well.

Assumptions indeed.

Huge relief.

Let me know when to take the 35 day break from DMSI. And when to fire up your steak, lol.

Had another sex dream last night. Extremely rare to me overall. This one was much more direct. A girl I know who is attractive, in the dream her and a female friend headed into my bedroom and *somehow* had sex and I walked in on the female friend on top of her and the friend orgasming hard. Lmao. Odd. I somehow felt she "cheated" on me and I left, although we were both very cordial and cool about it. No implied relationship or anything either, haha. Weird dream. But notable, because girls in my dreams are very rare on these subs, never mind anything with a sexual theme. The last while I've had a few around both topics, so very notable!

All the best. Stay safe.

Might be turning a corner, due to the frequency of girl/sexual theme dreams lately. And how I've pretty much never had them beforehand, regardless of sub/version. I've also cut out the "overpursuing" and deleted tons of numbers of girls I know from my phone if either I wasn't attracted much and there was little connection or if I was attracted but it wasn't going anywhere. Now I've just focused on my family, and my business, the rest felt like wasting time and lowering self respect. I have better more productive things to do anyway, especially now! That awkward thirst for them is gone for good I hope. Letting them contact me first now, really getting into that habit. It's worked for several of them already, lol. So, good stuff I think.

Felt it was all worth mentioning to you. Hope the new one drives things forward even more.

Hopefully this has something to do with TID from DMSI!  But either way, it sounds like you're making some much-needed progress.

WITH FRM 2020 WILL BE A TREAT Y'ALL!

By the way, what is SSB-P1? Is that another module similar to FRM and Magnus Engine?

[Hanpan]

Would there be a good idea to add a UMS-part to LTU6?

I'm really enjoy the benefits that LTU5 is bringing, and if there would be possible to add a financial success module in it, it would be a program I could run single-handedly for a long time ahead.

I actually considered asking about the same thing just with DMSI instead of UMS, so this is a pretty interesting suggestion.

I just figured that it would make the sub too complicated and that it would postpone the release date of LTU.

If it could work that would be great, but I have the feeling that the sub is big enough with the titles it already contains. I kinda also like that LTU primarily works on your "inner life", and that you after a long period with LTU are free to decide which sub to do afterward.

That's a great point actually - i did't think of it that way.
