Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Hi Shannon,

I intend to buy UMS2 when the store opens. I've done the cliche thing of having a significant long term goal, breaking it down into intermediate goals and am working toward those. It's going great - however it's pretty miserable since I bump up against my own laziness and inadequacy of skill a lot, I also have to keep telling myself to be patient otherwise I spaz out and want to give up. My mind goes in all sorts of directions trying to get out of it.

What I want to ask is, given I don't have an expectation of riches from my current path in the short-medium term (and currently this is helping me stay the course)  should I hold off on UMS2 until I've actually developed the skills and the confidence in my skills; or will UMS 2 help me to stay with it and patient enough to keep on plodding; whilst allowing me to be open to things accelerating where opportunities present themselves?

Holding off until you've developed the skills sounds like a brilliant ploy to delay actually using the program, probably indefinitely, because there nwill always be some other skill or whatever that you think you need to develop first.

No.  Get the program, use the program, and allow it to guide and influence you in the ways that result in UMS.  Trust me, waiting is a waste of your time by comparison.

I wanted to ask as well; would UMS help with self belief in my own intelligence the way other subs have done (MLS, SE were particularly helpful) and help me manage my energy so I can sustain continuous activity over a long enough time without burning out?

UMS v2 will help you achieve the perspective and experience of yourself and others that you need to have to achieve UMS.  It is designed to push you but also prevent burnout.

Will we be able to buy subs outright rather than subscribe to it or are we moving to the subscription model entirely?

The current setup is as follows:

3G, 4G subs are purchase only, with a few rare exceptions in 4G (usually aphrodisiacs).
5G and up you can purchase and download, or you can subscribe to.

Some programs may be subscription only.  However, I am far from finished contemplating that.  What I currently have in mind is potentially to release some new generation advanced aphrodisiacs as subscription only, but that is far from certain.  It needs a lot of consideration, and many variables have not been set yet for me to be able to make such determinations.  So for right now, we will not be subscription only, and I don't think that will change in the near future.

[Ampersnd]

Not sure if the question has been asked already, but does subscribing on one program for an extended time give you credit towards purchasing it outright?

It would seem that subscribing to a one-stage for 6 months might feel empty if you can't buy it at a reduced price; meaning that after you've paid a certain number of months, you'll be paying way more than the one-time purchase price. Then, if you want permanent access, you'd have to essentially buy it again and pay for it twice.

Hi Shannon, is there another way to pay besides a credit card? it's pretty rare in my country to have a credit card unlike America.
I do have a debit card, and I can use PayPal ofcourse.

Cheers.

No.  You have the choice of a subscription, or a purchase.  You must choose which one is best for you.  We have made it easy to cancel, pause and resume subscriptions, and we have made subscription prices very affordable relative to the program purchases.  But you make the choice as to which you prefer.

We will have PayPal Express checkout, which I believe allows you to pay with a PayPal account.

We will be offering PayPal express.  You should be able to use your PayPal account to pay through that.  Continued offering of PayPal express is going to depend on PayPal no longer enabling and empowering scammers to steal from us with PayPal's blessing in 99% of cases.  If it does not do that, we will be disabling it.  I am assured that this will not be the case, but we shall see. 

You'll be able to use credit or debit cards otherwise.

Hey @Shannon

Keep up the stellar work.Remember to get some good R&R tomorrow.

Just a thought... If a UMS2 stage is 32 days and I subscribe I'm likely to only do 30 days per stage, otherwise it would seem like I'm subscribing for 2 months to run 32 days.

So can there be a way to subscribe to the set as a whole to mitigate against this?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Thank you.  I will be working until the store opens, most likely.  Probably going to finish uploads today and finish verification and final checks and transfers tomorrow.  Hopefully the store opens again tomorrow, but every time I think we are finished, I magically find another day's worth of work.  So here's hoping!  The next day I take off, though... I will seriously be taking off.

You can just run the ASRB2 cycles until it is done with 30 days.  The cycles cause a slight mismatch to 32 days anyway, and it's alright.  If necessary, you can run a second run through or just use Stage 4 to brush up.  Stage 4 isn't going to feel like any of the other stages, but it'll definitely brush you the heck up!

Unfortunately, subscribing to the set as a whole is not something we will be doing right now.  That may change, but for the moment, we will not be doing that.

Thanks for the info. All the best with a speedy new store implementation.

What's the listening pattern for stage 3 of UMS2 please?

New store sounds exciting. Can't wait to check it out.

Start off using Stage 3 of this program 2 (Two) loops per day on, for 4 (Four) days on and then take 3 (Three) days off.  Run all loops back to back. Each stage should be used for as close to 32 days as possible.

@Shannon , just to make sure, for ME the shield is off?

No, it's on.  Just tuned to a non-invasive level of power.

Thank you for taking the time to answer, hope you will soon take some time off to rest.

Hi @Shannon, is the autoconfig module for ME on?
I got cravings to reduce one day off, what do you think of that?

Ok got it. It's just taken me a long time to calm down and be consistent with my efforts so I didn't want to mess that up. I'll take the advice and get UMSing when I can.

Starting at 6:30 PM today, the new store opens.  In 24 hours, the current sale prices on 5.75.xG subliminals end.  So be aware that it's on sale for one more day.  You also have the option to subscribe.
