Shannon's US/LM Journal

[Shannon]

Just to clarify... none of my programs will "get you sick". It is a possibility that the subconscious responds to fear of execution by causing the body to get sick so it can force the use of another sub. But we don't even have definitive evidence of that yet. Just a lot of circumstantial evidence and hearsay that may or may not actually correlate.

But, I created the ASS/ART module that is designed to prevent that sort of thing from happening for DMSI a while ago and it is in 3.1 and 3.2. It is left out of this version of USLM B because I was trying to reduce the scripting that surrounds the key goal of each program so we can focus more on the goal and less on the guidance scripting.

The idea is, until the anti-fear stuff comes into play, the less there is to resist, the less we will have resistance. However, this suggests that that module was in fact working, and that the "I think I'll just make myself sick to force this to stop" subconscious resistance tactic is in fact a thing. Again, suggests, we don't have definitive proof in any direction on this. But it would make sense, since it was all added as a response to something that we observed the subconscious doing to resist. I didn't expect that success would create that level of resistance, which implies that for those people who may be getting sick as an escape tactic, the idea of achieving success is underlain by a fear that ultimately boils down to some sort of fear of death again.

Now thinking back it happened to me already on SM3 that I had to stop listening for a few days because I got sick and used MIR(1). That happened at least 3 times during the six month of listening. And on DMSI 2.4 (or 2.5, I don't remember) I also got sick and used MIR2 without noticeable effects. The low volume might have been also an issue but it seemed to not improve at all at that time.

Not every infection would be a result of such a potential resistance/avoidance tactic. And if you're using MIR at low volumes, you might as well just not use it in the first place. For MIR, as well as most other instant on/instant off subs, volume equates to impact. In resistant personalities, there is a point at which it also results in resistance, so for example, GPR14c works best for me at a volume of 15/15 on my cell phone, but a volume of 12/15 on my cell phone works best for my girlfriend.
