Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol.9

[Shannon]

As to the laptop I was using... let's just say that sort of laptop is not easily accessible to the general public.  I did some experiments while the fan was dead, before it got shipped back.  If I did ANYTHING with it past just logging in... I could smell thermal something burning.  Insane heat generation.  The one coming in as a desktop replacement is even worse, and has seven large fans that I know of (and possibly I missed some) to keep it cool inside.  The case is also specially designed and the interior specially laid out to optimally facilitate heat removal.  I shudder to think what amount of sound this beast will make.

The larger the fan diameter, the less noise. 120mm fans and larger are nearly inaudible, even at full RPM; I use that size regularly in my own build.

I haven't built my own computer in about 20 years, so I'm not up on what is what.  It is good to hear that.  Thank you.

Forgive me Shannon, but why not go for a custom cooling system like water, to bypass the cat hair problem?

Hello,

I've got a goal for myself, and I believe that AAMTS is the right tool to help me achieve it, but I would like to get your input on how well the description below aligns with what AAMTS is designed to achieve for the user. I've read the product description a few times, but the question still lingers if AAMTS is what I need.

My main goal is to become a free man, in all aspects of how I choose to live my life. I want to be sovereign in how I choose to act in any given situation, letting my actions be true to my core, free from any need to seek validation from others, or fearful of how they might perceive me doing them, or any limitations I might put on myself. I want my actions to be driven by my "true self" and being coherent with my inner life, so I can enjoy my life and be my truest self and give my most honest and valuable gift to this world, while enjoying doing it (which I believe goes hand in hand). I want to feel the freedom to act and be my true, honest self in every level of my individual. Also I want to keep going deeper in touch with this true self, gaining even more clarity of who this person I am and could be at its truest purpose and potential and keep moving towards that.

The end goal here is very much dependent on my who I am, and I just want to assure myself that the program will help me figure this out myself, rather than giving me a "blueprint" of becoming someone, so that I will have my freedom to be the person I'm currently becoming (but of course guide me to higher and higher level of "purity" in the expression of who I am - by removing what stands in the way of it).

Also I'm curious on what way each step "set you off balance", but perhaps you have made that undisclosed for a good reason.

Thank you. Looking forward reading your answer.

There are two programs you will be interested in, then.  One may or may not be available.

The first is indeed going to be AAMTS v7.  

The second would be Maverick.  Maverick was designed to allow and cause a man to achieve his full potentials.  

However, Maverick was built in 5.9G and would be absolutely destroyed by 6.5G unless I upgraded it.  It is no longer available, partly for that reason.  Maverick was an experiment that went very right.  I am not entirely sure I could upgrade Maverick and find a way to make it possible to use with DMSI, and possibly AAMTS v7.  Since I also have my hands full with other titles, I suggest that you don't hold your breath for Maverick; I'd like to see what it does in 6.5G, but best case scenario, I may not be able to get to looking at it again for quite some time.

Furthermore, Maverick would work much better after you have run through AAMTS v7, if I do figure that out.  So my recommendation here would be to go with AAMTS v7.

Forgive me Shannon, but why not go for a custom cooling system like water, to bypass the cat hair problem?

Custom cooling using water would indeed bypass the cat hair problem.  However, in the moment, I had 4 hours in which to choose what to do and there was no water cooling option.

Putting in water cooling would require me to delve into system build and modification again, around 20 years after I have done that for the last time, and I'm not sure I want to try my hand at that for the first time in 20 years using a computer this important (and expensive) as a first try; however, you have a good point about the cat hair problem being better solved by this, so I will look into that.

I used to be a computer build/repair/OS nerd because it was fun, but it was also very expensive in time spent to learn how.  Now I'm a CEO, manager and researcher who never has enough time, and who just wants to get shit done.  Amusingly, now I understand the guys who I used to work for, because I am one.

But thank you for pointing out that it would be a better solution for the cat hair.  Perhaps if I find a solution that looks good, I can have someone more up to date on building and modifying computers do the modification, as well.  Although, that modification would doubtless void the warranty, so... I guess I'll look into this deeper and see.

I can co-sign water cooling. It's vital for high-end work. I built my PC with it from scratch. It's extremely effective, and much quieter.

I’ve spent many years working through different energetic blockages within myself, and I feel that I’m on a good path toward discovering and living my real purpose.

My main question is whether, by running AAMTS, I risk being pulled away from that path, or whether it is designed to support it by helping me remove what stands in the way of expressing who I truly am more fully. In other words, can I expect AAMTS to strengthen the path I’m already on rather than redirect it?

Thirded for water cooling, partially. I use a self-contained water cooler for my CPU, and multiple 120mm fans for case cooling.

Shannon responded to a question I Had in my own journal post. I though since some of you may not have seen it, that I'd post it here for other Men to see, it is both inspiring and profound, I felt, here goes Shannon post:

"What they are will have to wait for when they get built. No point in announcing them and getting hopes up before I am sure I can actually build them when I intend to. But there is research going on in a number of directions, one of which has been anti-aging, and one of the titles I intend to build soon is Hormone Optimizer for Youthfulness, which will become the basis for what becomes Anti-Aging 1.0 as my research develops and is put into play (finally).

I think this will have to be built as a multi-stage set, given how complex it is and how much there is to do, but this particular title is going to have to touch on a lot of things in order to get to it's goal with any real success.

So far it looks like there will need to be multiple stages of prep work and then at least one stage of the actual focus on anti-aging itself.

I think trying to accomplish all of it in one or two stages would probably be overkill, and some of it we would not need or want after that particular work has been done.

But the Anti-Aging program, v1.0 is still a ways off as I finish up my R&D, at least 6 months probably before I can focus on working on it specifically.

Hormone Optimizer For Youthfulness is going to be relatively easy to build by comparison, and resultantly much faster to build and release. And in 6.5G I think it's going to be quite an eye-opener.

A big part of the issue we will have with making Anti-Aging actually work is getting rid of contradictory beliefs and expectations, which support, defend and empower the aging process and in many cases, actually accentuate and accelerate it.

There will also need to be a variant of PRA developed specifically to resolve any such emotional healing and adjustment necessary specifically for the achievement of anti-aging, as well as a variant of OPH developed specifically for that goal as well. The mental, emotional and physical preparation of the self for making the anti-aging program best achieve it's goals. Perhaps the OPH and PRA for this purpose could be made into a single title.

And then would come the actual anti-aging focus in itself. The goal will be to trigger the body to return to a younger age-state. How successful we will be on the first attempt, I cannot say; but I can say that at the very worst, the process will be very good for you in many different ways.

I will of course endeavor to minimize the amount of expense and stages in the program so as to optimize the use of time, as well as money and success.

That is one of the things coming up. "


OMG I can hardly wait. Geez.

AAMTS will support you in achieving your real purpose.  Whether it takes you away from that path while you are listening to it or not, I don't know.  But I do know that if it does, that once you're done running it, you'll be better equipped to go down that path than you are now.

AAMTS will turn you inward to generate an internal focus so you can develop and improve as a man, as a person, as a leader.  It is about developing yourself and your masculine potentials.  An ascendant alpha male can freely express what and who he is to whatever degree he wishes to.

There could be something in stage 3 that's worth extracting and including in a fitness sub of you ever release it one day. I'm experiencing bouts of aggression, increased energy, and a sense of physical power that's pretty impressive. Those could probably be used as a self-reinforcing loop of motivation before and while hitting the gym.

I already posted this on the “after AM7 is finished what would you like to see created thread but I wanted to post it here as well so it doesn’t get lost and to get other peoples thoughts on it as well. 

What would you (obviously this includes Shannon but anyone else as well), think of a sexuality healing subliminal with the goal to allow the user to fully express/embody their sexuality in authentic, healthy ways in their relationships?

Essentially the goals would be to work through all forms of sexual/relationship trauma as well as limiting beliefs the user has about their sexuality.  This would include all forms or suppression/repression that stops the listener from expressing themselves fully in healthy ways and being comfortable with themselves as sexual beings. 

The ultimate goal behind this however, would allow the user to be able to show up in romantic relationships as healthy, whole and complete. Therefore, modules on helping the user move towards a form of a secure attachment style and away from anxious or avoidant styles that inhibit authentic connection with potential partners. 

Other aspects would include: 

self esteem optimization, 

moving away from escapism techniques (ie. Porn/masturbation), 

easing approach anxiety (especially for hard cases who can’t even talk to people they’re attracted to), also relationship anxiety in general (especially for avoidant/anxious types), 

Working towards relationships based on mutual and authentic respect, love, trust and connection

And probably a lot of others I haven’t even thought of haha. 

I know it’s not the sexiest idea (pun intended) and that some of these are kind of addressed in other programs such as PRA, OFSG, OSC, and a little bit in DMSI but after reading through a lot of posts on the forum as well as my own experiences with some of these subs, I think a program dedicated purely to sexual/relationship healing might be a great addition. 
This could especially work as a precursor to programs more focused on outer world sexual goals like DMSI, X4A series, and Attract your perfect Romantic or Sexual Partner. It might help users to stop stonewalling or subconsciously sabotaging their goals with these as well.

[Catman]

Hey @Shannon , I'd like to think you got your desktop computer by now...but I assume you'd post about that in your journal, right? That company sure is full of Bravo Sierra apparently in their ads.

I hope you can get things back going soon. I hoped for your sake you'd have at least the desktop setup and stable before the vacation.

I hope my words to Ben about DRS will be of help for DRS V3. It was deep and important, what I spoke about.

Looking forward to the next chapter of IML. DMSI V6.1 and beyond. Seems like we're turning a big corner. Surprising 6.5G even exists now, wow. Can't wait to try it!
