Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Greenduck]

Hi @Shannon hope you are good! I just wanted to ask if you can consider adding 'stop swearing' into the new LTU as LTU is about improving one's life. Thanks ?

Seriously? That has to be a joke. That's not something alot of people would want nor does it fit in any way. Nor do I or other people want our free will to say things we want to be taken away.

Having that in it would make me not want to buy or use it and I bet others will say the same. Seriously.. just don't swear if you don't want to.

Swearing is usually used to either;

1) Alleviate frustration
2) Exclaim a point

"stopping swearing" isn't the solution, it's finding other ways to express yourself...ways which are more conducive to how you want to be and feel in the world.

We are human beings. We need to alleviate frustration, and swearing fills that function. If it isn't creating a serious problem, why even think of taking away something that is so fundamental to us? It's like working around our need to fart. It's straining gnats and swallowing camels.

EDIT: I think i misunderstood your intention. Nevermind.

Is it me or does the aura seem to fire up better when I'm pissed off?

Everyone has different views but it was just a general question. You can swear as you want mate.?

Is it that hard to not swear?

Yes.

Yes.

Then I'd suggest getting some self mastery and stop being a victim of yourself. Unless you have Tourette's in which case see a doctor.

@Shannon whats your favorite kind of ice cream?
since we're all asking questions here

I like pistachio peppermint with dark chocolate shavings and white chocolate chips mixed in. Always wondered what black licorice ice cream would be like, tho.

@Shannon

Wil you be using DMSI 3.3?

No. I am not going to use DMSI again until I have created a version that is designed for people in committed relationships. I value my current relationship very highly, and I'm not about to do anything that would potentially threaten it.

Ah you are still together. For some reason I thought you broke up...as why I asked, thinking you was single.

I totally understand not using it whilst being in a committed relationship, respect. I am happy that you have a relationship that you value very highly, it's always nice hearing that.

When I met my current girlfriend, I already had a girlfriend. For a short period of time, I dated them both at once. Then the one I broke up with went too far with something and it was the straw that broke the camel's back. I broke up with her.

But I did not stop caring about her and she was in a very bad, very precarious position, and if I had done it in a black and white manner as I usually would, she very well may have lost all hope and killed herself. No, she didn't threaten that - I just know her well enough to know that was a significant and very real threat.

So I let her down as easily as I could while making her aware that it was over. But she interpreted my kindness to mean that she had a chance still, and a year later she put me in a position that forced my hand. I had to be black and white with her, and it hurt me very deeply to have to do that to her, because I still care very deeply for her. She will be better off without me, because she was using me as an excuse to hide and stagnate, instead of grow into a woman who could take care of herself.

So I had a girlfriend, and broke up with my ex in a way that she truly "got", but which deeply hurt both me and my ex in the process.

Is there a possibility that you will be adding some kind of energy flooding to LTU 5.5? If LTU motivates us to get our life in order, maximize our time and succeed in life we will actually need more energy because highly productive people manage their energy and motivation which manages their time.

All 5.5G subs, including E2, use energy flooding in some form or other, depending on which aspects of the energy flooding module set are compatible with the goals of the program.

Energy flooding is not the same as energy sourcing. Energy flooding is aimed at flooding you with energies that help achieve the goals in certain ways. Energy used to power the program is partially aspected by energy sourcing, and partially by several other modules that are not energy flooding.

Oh I guess I didn't understand that there was such a difference, thanks for clarifying.

I mean energy sourcing then. To bring about the best version of our life will take a considerably large amount of energy and I guess I'm more curious as to your intent for LTU 5.5 on the energetic side of the sub and how it could look compared to other 5.5 subs.

Why do you make this assumption? How do you know that it is not true that to bring about the best version of your life, all you need to do is stop fighting it and step across from one probability line to another? Perhaps it takes virtually no energy at all.

Energy sourcing is not going to be a big issue for LTU.

That was a good question and it got me thinking.

It's because I personally don't think I have a deep and fundamental understanding of what change actually is. I bought reality transurfing but haven't read all of it, but more importantly, I believe the concept of change is vague to part of me and when I think about the concept of change, all I get is an emotionally negative response from the belief that change will require a lot of work. It appears that because I'm vague about the understanding and mechanisms of change that part of me A. doesn't want to do it because everyone told me that change is hard work and that sucks. B. Doesn't understand how it happens so uncomfortable about it. I'm a person who likes to understand because through understanding you get the best results and understanding something on a deep and unconscious/subconscious level brings about the most consistent and quality and expedient change. C. I have a fear of the unknown which I am working on, but as per points A and B isn't working the best.

This all leads to a feeling of hopelessness and powerlessness because I feel I can't change because I don't understand how to change and any attempts put large amounts of stress on my person because of the level of energy required for my "attempts" to change which usually result in me reverting back to median center behaviorally.

Long story short. I guess no one properly taught me how to change so I have no gridwork for how to properly and effectually create permanent change in me.

I would love to understand how, and through writing this realized that much frustration in my life in centered around this issue. I find explaining things step by step and fleshing out process helps ease tension and fear over the unknown most times, but not all. If the outline and methods and functions of change is something that you can put into subs it might help, if you haven't added it already. I also could see how it could not help by unecessarily narrowing the paths to change also.

The issue you are dealing with is that subconsciously, you fear something. Most likely, change from "what you know" to "the scary unknown". To keep itself from having to face this fear and deal with that scary unknown, your subconscious is throwing up excuses. Oh, change is hard, change is difficult, change is scary, I don't know how to change, blah blah blah, yada yada yada.

It's a bullshit smokescreen. Change is only as difficult as YOU make it. Change is the only constant in the universe. It is inevitable and unavoidable. You cannot stop it. You change every second of every minute of every day of every week of every month of every year of every decade of your entire life. Whether or not you want to. It is so easy to change in fact, that you cannot do anything else.

I haven't finished reading reality transurfing. I can say that as far as I have gotten, I'm not really impressed with the author's understanding of what he seems to be trying to share. Or his ability to explain it. But every moment, you have no choice but to make a decision as to what you will do, even if that decision is "make no choice" or "do nothing". It's a choice, you must make that choice, and that choice will absolutely lead you to change what will happen in your future in some way - whether that is to try to stay on your current course and destination, or choose a different one.

Today, I wore a silly shirt that says, "It's not a bald spot! It's a solar panel for a sex machine!" The choice to wear that shirt put me on a completely different probability line than I would have been on had I chosen any other shirt. I responded differently than I would have otherwise, and so did the people around me. My whole future is different now than it would have been before. It has changed, radically and drastically, and all because I chose to wear this shirt instead of one of the other shirts I own.

This is based on the "butterfly effect" which basically means that a small change in the now will, over time, magnify into a big change in the future. If you put on red socks today, you might end up winning the election to become POTUS in 25 years. If you put on white ones, you might win the lottery in 22 years instead. It seems like a real stretch until you follow the series of events that goes from one to the other.

You make these choices every second of every day. Consciously and subconsciously. And the results are always a change from the moment before you made that choice. So you can see that "I don't know how to change" is simply full of shit. You really don't know how NOT to change. It takes significant and continuous effort and energy not to change because of this. But choosing to maintain the status quo requires changes to what you are doing that result in maintaining the status quo, which means you had to change to maintain that status quo!

Your subconscious is afraid of change, most likely. But change is going to happen regardless. Sometimes because of things you chose, and sometimes because of circumstances in which you find yourself, which you have little to no control over.

Making a huge change in your future only requires that you change your goals, your intent, your choices and/or your beliefs.

For example, right now, you believe that "I don't know how to change" because "I'm not sure what change is". The truth is, that belief causes you to have an excuse to make the choices which create the changes which result in more of what you have and are experiencing right now. Remember, since change is inevitable and unavoidable, it takes effort and energy to adjust for that fact and resist that natural constant change. You must constantly change something to achieve a steady state.

So you are changing things as you claim you don't know what change is, or how to do it. Just your subconscious (which is making these changes) has fooled your conscious into letting it do so by convincing it that it is helpless and doesn't know what change is or how to do it.

Choose between a white sock and a red one, and you have created a change in your life. Choose to use a toothpick or not, and you have created a change in your life. Choose to smile or not, same thing. There is nothing BUT change.

And change, as you can see, is actually very easy to do. And when you think, "Oh, but that isn't true, because changing X to Y is hard!" it's because that part of you saying that and insisting that it's true doesn't want that change, and is trying to convince the other parts of you not to make those changes or even try to. The fact is, all self change is as easy as you allow it to be.

Soooo

Any improvements with ISMD 3.3?

I haven't even begin planning the Increase Sexual Masochistic Dementia sub. Never mind gotten to v3.3.

Now DMSI 3.3, that I am working on, yes.

[Shannon]

I am thinking to combine sleep magic (power nap) with BASE. Will i have any issues? If no how many hours should i have break between BASE and the power nap? I usually listen 2 hours of BASE in the morning and 9-11 hours afternoon-night

BASE does not use state shifting. Power Nap uses only state shifting. No conflict. No break necessary, unless BASE gets you thinking too much for PN to work.

[Shannon]

Is it me or does the aura seem to fire up better when I'm pissed off?

Not just you.

That is because the part of you that is pissed off is no longer focused on preventing it from firing up.

This sub is going to be insane!

Only problem Shannon has now, is getting people to remember the epic results from it, to report back to him on how it performs.

Once it's released, I think I know several professional BDSM dungeons that would be interested in procuring it. Perhaps even licensing it.
