Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Thanks for your answers Shannon! Forgot 1 question.

I am listening to your subliminals using a bluetooth speaker connected to my mp3 player via an aux cable. The reason for this is because of hearing loss/hearing pain due to headphone listening. None of the sublminals fault I guess I just listened too loud for too long. I'm sure i'm not the only one around here that has made the same mistake and i'm thankful that making a hearing aid in 6g is on your list.

My question is can I use my iphone 6s to import your mp3s via itunes and play them via bluetooth from my phone rather than having to connect a cable to my mp3 player and then to my speaker?

I know from what I read in the forum that the iphone has mono speakers so it's a no go for subliminals. But i'm wondering what would be better or are they both the same: Playing them via bluetooth from my phone and bluetooth speaker vs via an mp3 player via an aux cable connected to the speaker. Does importing them through i tunes make them suffer in quality? Would using the aux cable and mp3 mean better quality and does effect vs just bluetooth from the phone or does it not matter?

I don't like Apple products, and I don't use them. Part of why I don't like them is that they are designed to try to "think for you". The result is that the software does what it assumes is best for you and what you wanted. That becomes a big problem in this case, because it's very possible at some stage that the subliminals will get entirely stripped out of the audio because the software was trying to think for you and decided that it's better to compress or translate the audio in some way that you really didn't want.

The rule is, never ever adjust the audio you get from me in any way. That's the only way you can be sure it's not corrupted or somehow has been subverted.

Since I don't use Apple products, I can't know if that will happen or under what circumstances. So I'm afraid I can't answer that question.

Hey Shannon, I'm curious if the technology in the AM6 or EPRAHA subs would interfere with this product here: [Edited out to comply with rules]

The core of it is increasing your sexual energy through meditation. Would the energy be used for other goals if I were to use this program, or would it be okay?

Firstly, if that works, it would effectively be a competing product. We can't let you advertise competing products here for what should be obvious reasons, so I have edited it out.

Second, it is a pitch page, and not even a very well done one.

Thirdly, I haven't used that product, so I cannot know for sure. But I would put money on there being a definite conflict between that and my products.

Just download the VLC app for your phone and use the Wifi upload feature to put the subliminal on your phone. It should be able to play out to the bluetooth speaker and doesn't go through the apple process which alters the file.

My apologies Shannon.

The product is basically a number of audio files that make you feel sexual energy, which you meditate upon to become more aware of sexual energy, and then begin moving it around your body and finally consolidating it into your body.

I use Apple products. I listen to BAMM on an iphone primarily and I've never had an issue. Even though I'm in my mid 20' s , I'm not tech savy enough to manipulate the audio. I've had great results with BAMM and other subs on Apple devices. As Shannon wrote, don't manipulate the audio at all. Shannon's subs work with Apple product and ITunes as long as you follow the aforementioned rule.

My ipod is fine now that I don't use itunes. Apple is fucking retarded with their shit, I used to be able to just drag and drop and it would copy it as is on there. Now they have a sync thing that deletes everything then replaces it or something dumb and you can't simply drag and drop. It makes zero sense how they have it set up.

Get copytrans controlcentre and install copytransmanager and all fixed. You can drag and drop without all their bs.

[Shannon]

Why should everyone have to install something special to do basic stuff like copying files with Apple products? Why can't I just bluetooth a file to an iPhone without installing something else and setting up an account and then jumping through a few more hoops? Makes me dislike Apple. A lot. Otherwise I'd have switched to a Macbook Pro about 3 years ago.

[Shawn]

If I am using the iPhone I am playing the files from my Dropbox account with the Dropbox built-in player. So there is no need for conversion this way. You can also make the files offline available.

But, yeah, so much I like Apple products, so much I dislike their way to do certain things.

Can you listen Flac from that player just wondering?

Good question. I'll try.

EDIT: No, doesn't work. FLAC is not supported by Apple so far. But in the AppStore there are different player which have their own FLAC support.

I know a bunch of people that have iPhones and this is always the complaint that people have. They don't work that way because people like it, they work that way to promote the purchasing of their content over their competitors. Having said that there are quite a few advantages of iPhones over other types of phone out there. Most of my other experience has been with android devices and they have their own set of problems as well.

Android vs. iOS architecture:
Android started off on the wrong foot from an architecture point of view. They used a Linux kernel which is awesome but then they decided to use a Java platform to run their applications. Java is expensive in memory and tends to be slow because everything has to be run through the Java virtual machine (JVM) which allows applications to be written independent of the device they are running on. It also allows for garbage collection which means that the applications do not have to worry about memory management. I thought this was a bad idea for phone and other small devices because they have limited resources (memory and cpu) so you need to squeeze every bit of power of out them. iOS on the other hand uses some apple built (probably darwin) kernel which is slower than Linux but they decided to use Objective-C to build their applications which is a lot faster than Java. The iPhones themselves are inferior in many respects to the good android devices (there are some Samsung devices that have 8 core cpus in them) because they have dual-core cpus and about 2gb of memory. The funny thing is that these devices are just as fast because their architecture is better from a performance aspect. The reason Apple is able to do with is because they only support a small set of devices. Android tries to support anything and so they have to make some compromises to get it to work. Java is excellent for supporting hundreds of devices because you just write a JVM for the device and you are done.

Android vs iOS stability and features:
Android has some features that iOS does not have. I would consider Android superior for those that love to tinker with their device. I have an LG Volt that I have rooted the device, replaced the kernel and even loaded versions of Android that are not supported by the device. In iOS you get what Apple gives to you and the only decision you get it whether you want to upgrade to the next OS version or not. One of the really cool things I could do in Android that I couldn't in iOS was the ability to play multiple audio tracks at the same time. I could have the ultrasonic subliminal playing in the background while I listened to music which was awesome! Android has a concept of audio focus which allows applications to gain control over the audio device and you can actually design an application that can take audio focus from other applications or not. There are some audio programs that can play songs without taking audio focus which is how that works. As awesome as that is, stability was a problem on my device. It seems like the kernel in Android will kill applications for no apparent reason which is really annoying. It sucks to wake up in the middle of the night and see that it killed the music application playing your subliminal even though that was the only thing running. I've never had that problem in iOS. iOS in general is a whole lot more stable.

iOS is not MacOS:
There has been a recent push to get these two together like the addition of Dashboard into MacOS and whatnot but they are completely different in my opinion. iOS must have applications loaded through the Apple App Store which allows them to control what goes on the device. This a good and bad thing at the same time. Its good because it controls the quality of application that exist on the iOS platform. They have strict guidelines on how an application should look and work and if an app fails to meet the standard then it is not released. Its bad because you have applications that are not released because Apple doesn't want them released. Apps that compete with Apple directly have slowed release times or may not be released at all. There are some examples of AT&T getting Apple to not release an app because it is not in their interest. A good example of this was an app that allowed for tethering which allowed a laptop to use the data connection on the phone. AT&T didn't want that released because it would hurt their network so Apple didn't allow the release. This is not the case in MacOS. There is an App Store but you can also just download apps from websites like a normal computer. I have to have iTunes installed but I never use it. I can manage media content however I like on my Mac. It is completely different on a Mac laptop than on their phones.

MacOS advantages:
I've messed around with different mobile devices because there are some things lacking on the iPhone but I've owned and used Mac desktops / laptops since 2004 when I bought my first Powermac dual G5 2.0 Ghz. MacOS is superior to anything else out there in my opinion for a few different reasons. MacOS is a BSD based kernel with a great interface built on top. Darwin (MacOS's kernel) which is a fork of BSD is not as fast as the Linux but BSD and Darwin were always more stable than Linux. Linux is awesome for embedded because you need speed for embedded devices. When you have plenty of resources stability becomes more important. So you have a great kernel with an interface that allows you to run many of the best commercial applications. This is the great advantage over running a straight Linux environment. Another advantage of MacOS is that it is very resilient. I'm still using the same load of MacOS from my first Mac in 2004! I've done either OS upgrades or moved those loads to new machines. I haven't had to do a clean load of MacOS ever! I used Windows before and I had to load a clean install every year or two because it would run like crap and a clean install was the only way to fix it. Viruses and malware isn't something you have to worry about in Linux or MacOS. I ran Linux as a desktop for a year and it seemed like everything would be good then one day something would not work and it was over. Linux is really stable as a server but their desktop environments always seems to be buggy. KDE and Gnome are letdowns considering how many great things Linux does. I know there are some new desktop environments now so it might be better but I have a hard time believing that any of them are better than Aqua. My favorite application in MacOS is Terminal but when I need to do something, I want it to be easy and work well and MacOS is great for those of us that love Bash but need a GUI to accomplish things as well. That being said, I would never use MacOS as a server because Linux and BSD have so many advantages in the console. MacOS also has a built in X11 client so I can connect to remote Linux machines and run GUI applications over the network off of them so I have the best of both worlds really.

Apple laptop hardware:
There is an "Apple tax" on their hardware but if you are looking for something specific then the tax maybe worth it even if you just want Windows. I'm typing this on a Macbook Air and if you were to price out the Dell equivalent, it would cost the same and be an inferior product. Apple doesn't skimp on hardware quality. I recently retired my Macbook I bought as a refurbished machine in 2008. It still runs and doesn't have any major problems. I've found that you can keep Macs a lot longer than the PC equivalent. Where the "Apple tax" really gets you is on the upgrades. If you want a Macbook Air with a 512GB SSD then you might be better getting the Dell. The one I bought has 128GB SSD and is cheaper than the Dell equivalent.

I have used Windows since Windows 3.1, Linux since kernel 2.1, MacOS since OS X 10.3 and each has their place. I still use all three for various purposes but I enjoy MacOS the most of all of them for general desktop use. I'm just an Apple fanboy at heart even though they do have their issues.

Quick question - Is semen retention healthy and good over the long run versus ejaculation? I really want a definitive answer. Experts themselves are quite divided. Shannon, anyone else having a deep know how?

Your body is designed from the ground up to produce semen and orgone - the sexual energy that accompanies it - and to regularly express them. While it is possible to transmute your orgone, it is not so simple with semen. Over time, your body will become saturated with it and you will even begin to smell like it in your sweat. While this can take years without release, it still is a pretty good indicator to me, all told, that you are better off expressing it - at the very least, occasionally.

Hey Shannon, why are some people saying the AOS+BIATBWS 5.5G combo would be more powerful than the SM3? SM3 should have more, no? What's your opinion? Since I've already purchased the SM3 in advance, and it's something I plan to run soon, I don't want to switch to a future AOS+BIATBWS when it comes out and it happens to be less effective. Thanks.

Quick question - Is semen retention healthy and good over the long run versus ejaculation? I really want a definitive answer. Experts themselves are quite divided. Shannon, anyone else having a deep know how?

Shannon's answer is spot on, but I can add a bit to it also. Sperm is a prime component of Jing. When you think jing think hormones and bodily base functions. Your body is designed to rebuild itself and repair itself through that rebuilding process. Maximizing your body's ability to repair itself necessitates keeping all processes functioning optimally. If you go too long without an emission your body slows those processes because they're not being used, which has a counter productive effect across the board. Less jing means less and/or more hazardous qi.

Practicing semen retention techniques to where the semen is diverts into other parts of the body are also unhealthy, and it starts pumping a mass amount off a fluid into an area not designed to hold that much of the substance. There's always some sperm in urine, but that doesn't mean taking a load in your bladder is a good idea.

If you're not into internal alchemy or cultivation practices then an orgasm once or twice a week is adequate for normal emission cycles to maintain energetic health. If you ARE into internal alchemy or cultivation then once every two or three weeks is a better idea as your body is using jing differently, but you still need that periodic release to make things run properly.
