Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol.9

[NOMAD]

@Shannon

I can't help but wonder if these new modules are going to allow you to really push the boundaries of intensity for Stages 1 through 7. I only mention that because of how smoothly I'm executing Stage 0. Based on the journals, that seems to be a universal experience. And if these modules can 'grease the skids' for more intensity, future AM7 stages could be something beyond any of our expectations. I'm sure there's a tipping point in how hard you can push before triggering resistance (or even complete shutdown), but this might be worth exploring.

 That's Powerfully Insightful, Man. Wow.

[Shannon]

Is there any aura manipulation/modulation in AM7? 

Yes.

And for that matter is there any of that in the basic skeleton script or do you only attempt to deliberately change the aura in specific programs that require that?

The Skeleton Script does not alter the aura.  It is only altered or modulated as necessary.

You  should not have expectations.  You should allow the program to show you what it can do.

More intensity isn't necessary.  More ability to achieve cooperation and execution, is. The goal of these two new technology modules is to achieve the ability to gain cooperation and execution instead of resistance.  The goal is... no resistance.  Just execution.  I don't yet know how well that will end up being the case, since the  modules that accomplish this were too important to leave out of Stage 0, and I ran out of time to test them further, but they performed very well in what testing I accomplished.  

In Stage 1 through 7, we will better see how well they work, because I am going to be leaving out some of what is making Stage 0 relatively easy for you guys to handle.  It is there so the guys coming in from the lowest points of self esteem, self respect, self worth and perception of personal value don't get crushed and run away instead of making progress.  I want them to have a chance to succeed, not destroy them.  But in Stages 1+, there will be no mercy.  That is why I created Stage 0 in the first place.  

Since I did not have these modules developed when I first told you guys about how brutal this program was going to be, don't get upset if the new technology achieves execution and success without brutality.  It isn't necessary to suffer to achieve these goals; suffering is the result of fighting the program.  My goal is to get you to a place where you don't fight, you just execute.  But I will say this: if for whatever reason you do try to fight these two modules... it won't be pretty, fun or easy.  And in the end, you will have only the option to succeed or run away and hide.

So we shall see how brutal they are.  It would be awesome if these two technology modules were so powerful that everyone makes it through with good progress and doesn't have to deal with brutal.  But there will be no slacking.

To be clear,  I'm appreciative of how smooth Stage 0 is. I don't understand the inner workings of the script, so it occurred to me that you might be able to tune future stages more aggressively than you initially intended without triggering resistance. Nobody in their right mind, including me, wants to deal with resistance. And if a more aggressively tuned script isn't warranted or isn't effective, then that suggestion belongs in the trash. 

I've been waiting on AM7 for 10 years,  so it's tough to contain my excitement,  especially with how well Stage 0 was scripted. I apologize if I've come across as pushy or annoying. My inner child is jumping for joy right now.

You're not coming across as pushy or annoying at all.  I just know that some guys are going to be disappointed if I manage to make running this set  successful without them dealing with brutality and suffering because they think "no pain, no gain".  

I'm aiming to make it as challenging as it needs to be to maximize value.  I am also trying to make it as achievable as it needs to be to maximize success.

I suppose the notion would be that you have to feel like a weak little bitch while running AM7 in order to "bring up" and "purge" those feelings.

But if instead it can just be smooth - I'm sure we're all here for it!

I think that's mostly marketing in the description of the programs.

To make it feel, you know, "alpha male-y".

A subliminal program's "ass-kicking" to me does not imply that you're going to suffer - it implies it won't let you resist or stray from the path it's leading you towards.

[Shannon]

I was expecting to have to literally drag you through the resistance - thus, ass-kicking. But if this works the way I think it will, it's going to potentially be much smoother than that.

@Shannon Is it more effective to switch to AM7 stage 0 from PRA? I want to at some point, but I'm not sure if all the other stuff in AM7 besides the healing would slow healing down compared to PRA.

@Shannon i am getting an error when trying to purchase or subscribe from the shop, it says ' This store cannot accept payments right now' can you please check this.

If you want to focus on healing, then use PRA.  If you want to do everything in Stage 0 (and that's a LOT), then do Stage 0.  Stage 0 will motivate you to move at a faster pace than whatever is just comfortable, but it's also doing many different things at once.

We are looking into this.  SAhould be resolved soon.  I just need to gather some information.

TLDR: Goal is to become my greatest version. Heal fully first or pivot to something like AM7 at some point? Worried about two opposite mistakes: either stopping healing too early and hitting a ceiling, or over healing when I'd grow faster doing more. Trying to maximize my time to gains ratio.




I want to focus on whatever will be the fastest path long term to a 10/10 me. If that means hunkering down and focusing on the slow grind of healing first then I will do it. If it means hopping on AM7 I'll do it. I'm just constantly looking for the best angle for that rock solid 10/10 I see myself becoming in the future. I picture myself leaving healing cause I'm bored to focus on other things and then not getting where I want to go because I needed more healing. I don't want to waste my time by not building the foundation first and jumping the gun, or by focusing too much on building the foundation while I could've been living life more fully while growing as much or more.


To boil it down, is it better to get to a "good enough" marker and then focus on other things, or is it better to finish healing first if I have the patience for it? And to add context, my goal is to become my "greatest version", so whatever's serving that long term vision the best is what I want to go with. Just pure self development for it's own sake is my primary and ultimate goal. I don't care about mainstream advice to learn while you're doing the thing, because I don't have the same values or goals that that applies to. My goal is basically to be a body builder but for who I am rather than for my physical body.
