Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol.9

[Shannon]

I feel compelled to say: the media streamer/player is spotty with playing the audio to the end.
This matters to me because I cannot seem to get 30 minutes into my 3-hour loops for AM7.

I would hope that paying for the subscription would let me get in all of my loops. Otherwise, I can't meet the instructions.

Is there a chance the battery optimization on your phone (or settings for the browser app you use) could be shutting the audio streaming down?

Hey man, long time no see.  Good to see you here again.

Good point.

You've gone through the FAQ and all of what we recommended on the back end, and still issues?

I'm on a break now, but I'll have applied about 3-5 of these steps after tomorrow. 
To be clear, you offered a list in a thread called 'Troubleshooting'. I can't find a page explicitly titled 'FAQ'.

That's what I was referring to.  And you asked for help on the back end, yes?

Just noticed Ascendant Alpha Male Subliminal Training Set v7.0, Stage 0 now shows as (6.5 Gen) is the 50% offer on for this stage as well? I will buy this right now if the offer applies to this? & yes I did buy AM6 back in the day. Have also emailed Ben! Want to get it at the 6g price whilst I can =D

The customer loyalty reward price reduction applies to this as well, even though it's technically not even the right price since it's 6.6G and still priced as 6G.  So get it while you can!  If you're eligible.    I'm gonna be raising the price probably at the end of June/beginning of July for the AAMTS v7 stuff.

Got it. I'm just waiting for the 6.5G version of Stage 0 to drop before starting my run. Guess I’ll take a break until then.

Give this man a threadripper. 

Threadripper is coming.  Just a question of when.

I'm aiming for 96 cores and at least 128 gigs of RAM next time.  And once we get the GPU cores functionality going, we'll be hitting that hard too.

96 core holy shhh!, I take the workload is all on the CPUs right now, why haven't you used GPUs for *whatever it is you do* also how much vram will you be getting on them GPU/s?
I hope you get a good deal on the RAM

I would need you to tell me who is resisting, what title(s) they are resisting, what makes you think it's resistance, and what the circumstances are in general.

Hi Shannon,

She used in the past a few subliminals without success like Anxiety or Emotional Healing.

Currently she is using PRA and she didn't see success with ultrasonic, and with masked sound apparently she sees some benefits, but it's hard for her to know for sure because she is doing many other things at the same time. It's hard for me to collect more info.

This is one interesting thing she told me.

"I was thinking that I need to completely disconnect for a few days and not touch any technology at all. Because I'm stable when I'm offline, but as soon as I connect, within 15 minutes I'm back in a loop again. Especially with Claude, etc. I experience something called hyperfocus where I concentrate on something with great intensity, and when I'm done I'm left feeling really, really bad. Apparently these are symptoms of ADHD. So the dopamine reward from Claude, Midjourney, etc. is like... I almost instantly undo all the progress I make."

And she isn't using social media nor instant messaging apps. She told me she felt way worse when she used to use them.

She is going to start a new treatment that was recently approved in Spain, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, which it seems to have very good results and no side effects. It also stimulates neuroplasticity.

Because of this she will stop using PRA soon and switch to BROP to push healing in that direction. I'll tell her to start listening directly the masked sound track and skipping the ultrasonic, is that okay seeing her historic? After a few months, maybe 4, then she could move back to PRA which hopefully will be updated in 6.5 and with BROP included as well. Even if PRA 6.5 gets updated sooner, I think it's better that she keeps BROP for about four months to make sure her subconscious is fully focused on that. 

Any thought on this?

Thank you very much!

I did not. Is it expected that if we have this kind of trouble, we use the support email to discuss it with them? Just clarifying what you mean by 'the back end'

Shannon's quote " I'm gonna be raising the price probably at the end of June/beginning of July for the AAMTS v7 stuff. "

I hope this holds through and holds true until at least Mid June. I ran into some added expenses & will have recovered by Mid-June.
In the meantime, I'm still plugging & slugging away with UMS3. its Spring time and MY Birthday is next week, I'm thankful . The Journey continues.

Presumably we’ll have to restart AM7 from scratch? I was supposed to start my second block of four yesterday. Looks like I will miss today as well and possibly tomorrow, depending on how long this takes to re-record. 

That’s going interfere with the very strict 30 day instructions for each stage. I assume that matters? Would it be possible to add five days to the subscription for this month please? 

Since I haven’t posted in years, I thought I might add that this is the first sub that I’ve felt a notable active effect (tiredness). I’ve stonewalled everything so far, including DMSI.

GPUs were the first thing I tried.  There is a problem with the software that allows that.  Has not been figured out.

96 CPU cores with a ridiculous GPU set is my goal.  It'll be a little bit before that's actually in the budget.  I don't need that kind of power all the time, but when I do, boy do I.  Right now we're going to be focusing on other things for the time being in order to make the budget expand considerably.

Once we get to the point that our budget is more open, I'm going to get custom built monster tower with the best of everything, which should last us a good while and enable me to work much faster.

So I haven't even considered vram on the GPUs yet.  It's a better ROI to focus on things like improving advertising at the moment.

When I do this, it will not be a question of how much it costs.  It will be a question of how much it saves.  Time is money, and if it saves me 35 hours a week, then a monster production system will pay for itself in a year or less.

Thank you very much!

First, I can guarantee you, if she didn't see success with ultrasonic, there's something going on.  That indicates there's some sort of effort to fight the program, or stop using what would work if she used it long enough.  I have far from enough information to properly understand the situation, but having to use masked because ultrasonic "doesn't produce results" indicates that either the ultrasonic was used incorrectly, or there's an insane amount of effort being put out to fight the program.  If Masked format does produce results, it suggests that ultrasonic wasn't being used properly.  Was she following the instructions, especially with regard to using it only on a cell phone, only through the cell phone speakers, only within arm's reach and only at the specified volume?  And what results is she getting from Masked  that she was not getting from Ultrasonic?  How well does she understand English?

Telling her to move to BROP, and skip ultrasonic, are both bad ideas.  We don't know why she's "not getting results from PRA" (and she would be the first person to ever report that outcome).  We don't know if ultrasonic is just triggering some sort of resistance response, or if she's even using it correctly.  Remember that resistance always indicates that the program is working.  "You only get flak when you're over the target."  It has to have time to work, and the process isn't always fun, comfortable or easy.  I have seen PRA/ultrasonic do some truly amazing things.  Nobody else has reported having to switch to masked, which makes me deeply suspicious.

If she's going to be doing TMS, she should not be using subliminals at all while she is doing that treatment.  You need to know what the TMS is actually doing, not confuse things by adding in another variable.

Telling her to start with Masked is a bad idea because you don't know why she "got no results from" ultrasonic last time.  It is almost never necessary to switch to masked entirely.  It is almost always the instruction set being listened to, being reacted to badly because it's telling them to do something they really don't want to do.  Escape is the only way out, and the easiest way to escape is to either stop using the title, or stop using it correctly.  

It seems most likely to me that she is trying to fight the program (PRA) because it's an uncomfortable journey, but there's nothing in BROP that should have that effect.  Thus, you would still want to use Ultrasonic format until you had enough evidence that it's the format, not the title.

But my advice is, don't use subliminals with TMS so you can observe specifically what effect the TMS has,.

That's what I was referring to.  And you asked for help on the back end, yes?

I did not. Is it expected that if we have this kind of trouble, we use the support email to discuss it with them? Just clarifying what you mean by 'the back end'

I asked that because we had someone asking for help on the back end, and I was trying to make sure that was not you.  The back end, is when you email Ben asking for help because what's available on the forum hasn't helped.  Try to solve it on the forum, and if that fails, ask us for help on the back end.

Unfortunately, this has taken longer than I expected, and yes, you're going to have to start from scratch.  I should be able to upload the new version tonight, if nothing else goes wrong.

I cannot add five days to the subscription, they don't make that an option for us.  What I suggest you do let Ben know you'd like to be compensated for your subscription on the back end, and then have Ben cancel and refund it.  Then you can start a new one and it will work fine.  I don't mind refunding you for this on subscriptions for such an unusual situation.  Send Ben a message with your order number for this subscription, and link to this post and let him know.

I am pleased to hear you're starting to see something happen.  I think 6.5G will be even more to your liking, then.

Hi Shannon,

I hope you’re doing well.

I’ve been using Ultimate Monetary Success v3.1, and I’m now coming to the end of Stage 4. 
This is my second run through the program. Starting in Stage 3, I switched to the Hybrid format and 
followed the Q&A instruction to set my iPhone volume to 8/16, playing through the phone speakers within arm’s reach.

This has honestly been a breakthrough for me. Before switching to Hybrid, I felt like I was locking up and stonewalling, exactly as described in the Q&A. 
I used to feel a lot of resistance, tension, and inner pushback whenever I tried to focus on my projects or stay productive.

But since switching to Hybrid, that has changed in a big way. I feel much more focused and productive, and 
now I actually want to work. It almost feels like I have a strong sense of urgency and momentum throughout the day.

My question is: since Stage 4 is working so well for me right now, 
would it be okay for me to continue listening to UMS Stage 4 for the next few months?

I don’t really feel ready to take a break or go back to Stage 1, especially because Stage 4 seems to be helping me so much with my current project. 
It is helping me stay focused, productive, and push through resistance. 
Ideally, I’d like to continue with Stage 4 until I either finish this project or feel that I genuinely need a break.

At what point would you recommend stopping and taking a break?

Also, if I do continue listening to Stage 4 for the next few months, 
would you suggest changing anything, such as the volume level, number of listening days, or anything else?

Right now, I’m following the instructions exactly:

5 days on and 2 days off per usage cycle, using the Hybrid format at 8/16 volume on my iPhone, through the phone speakers, within arm’s reach.

Please let me know if it is okay to extend my Stage 4 listening this way, and if there is anything I should be aware of as I continue.

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Warmly,
Josh
