4 loops, 4 days on, 3 days off - Stage 2 of UMSv2.
This is a challenging usage pattern. It's definitely pushing hard to get you where it's trying to go. By day 4 of my first cycle, I was dragging, and it took the first 2 days off for that feeling to go away fully. The third day I was feeling back to normal again, but GF was asking me when we were getting back on again because she wasn't being as productive and she loves the productivity boost.
Last night was our 1st night back on, cycle 2. I feel today like I have been hit by a train. Still working, still getting things done, but waking up I felt like I needed to go to bed at the end of a day of work.
With Version 1, I noticed that whenever I would run it fr a few cycles it became much easier to handle, and if I got off it for a few cycles or more, it became much harder to handle. I figured out that this was because it was dragging me onto a specific probability line that lead to the program's goal, and as long as I was on that probability line, there was much less energy needed to simply maintain it. But get off of it, and it took a huge amount of energy to re-establish it.
I am wondering if this is the same thing. It astonishes me how exhausted I feel after 1 night on following 3 days off. Perhaps this is a result of having been exposed to a different subliminal for a couple hours yesterday.
Whatever the case is, UMSv2 is definitely no joke at all. It feels like it is determined to achieve it's goals no matter what.
Yesterday, I discovered that I made a serious mistake. I am glad I caught it in time, because it would have ended badly for all involved.
The error I realized that I made was this.
The prices we have been planning to use for the price increase were originally intended to be estimates to be updated by using the models, not final prices. Somewhere along the line, I got confused on this, and so the estimated prices got used for the final prices. They are not.
I will be using the models to find the prices that work best. This may mean they go up or down, but I suspect it will mean they are reduced somewhat.
In order to keep this simple, I'm going to set one price for all programs from 5.75.0G to 5.75.6G, and a different price for 5.75.7G subliminals.
My apologies for this mistake and any concern it may have caused. I'm fixing it now.
Okay, so I have been working all day on getting the last five programs I released into the new store. We are adding:
E5
UMSv2
OFv3
MLS 5.75G
MIRv3
The issue is that I have to now upload each of these programs' sets of files again, not once, but twice per stage. That is what's killing us for time. I have uploaded UMSv2 Stage 1 and 2 today, Stage 3 is uploading. Stages 1-2-3 have to be uploaded again, twice each for the set-as-a-single purchase, which will doubtless take all night. And then I need to upload the other programs. So before we ever get to verifying subscriptions and downloads, etc. work, it may be the 22nd of August because of the amount of data that needs to be uploaded. This is well over 100 gigabytes, and I just realized that some of it will have to be deleted and re-uploaded because of some naming mistakes I made on Stage 1 and 3 of UMSv2 and the SHA hash files changing.
Anyway... going as fast as we can. Once this is done, and we have verified everything, we will be performing the rest of the steps to ready the store for opening.
All customer accounts have been ported across, and your orders and history are there, but you will have to re-activate your account to access them. We are working on offering multiple options for this, but most likely we will be doing it through an email blast.
So much for opening the store on the 17th - but at least we are making progress now.

Alright, it looks like everything has been uploaded. At this point, we just need to finish configuring everything and verifying the settings. Then we test the purchase and subscriptions, and when all that passes muster, we can start performing the fanal process of opening the store.
It's been so chaotic recently that I'm not sure if I said this next thing already, but it can't hurt to repeat it. We have your account on the new store. It's there, but it's not activated right now. We will have to send out an email or something like that to make it possible for you to activate your account. Once you re-activate it, everything should be there from your past purchases, and you should be able to simply resume from where you left off and access all your downloads.
I would like to apologize to those of you who purchased and then did not get to access your purchases when we shut down the store. We'll make sure you get those purchases ASAP when the store is open. But we need to make sure that when the store opens, we have done everything possible to solve any issues before you have them. That's why we aren't just opening the store right this second. Please bear with us; we are doing everything we can to make this transition as seamless and painless for you as possible.
Back to work.
Correction: Stage 3 hash txt file did not specify stage it was for. Re-named to include that. New hash for that file is:

All multi-stage sets will be available as purchase or subscription for individual stages, but set-at-once is only available as a purchase.
To be clear, here is how subscriptions in our new store will work.
- You select the product you want to subscribe to. It must be 5G, 5.5G or 5.75+G. Set-at-once cannot be subscribed to, only individual stages of sets.
- You select the Monthly Subscription radio button at the top where the price is. This will enable to button below that lets you add to cart. Click the Add To Cart button.
- You go to your cart and check out. It will ask for your credit card information, etc. at the bottom, there is a check box that you must check to verify that you understand that this is a monthly subscription with a recurring charge which you will be auto-charged for once per month. If the first attempt fails, it will automatically try again once per day for each of the next 2 days.
- Click the button at the bottom to proceed with payment and charge your card.
- Once your card has been successfully charged, it will take you to your purchases page where you can access your subscriptions. Select access subscriptions. This will take you to a page where all of your active subscriptions are listed. Select which one you wish to listen to.
- This takes you to a page where you can select which track you wish to listen to, and set the number of loops to listen to. Once you have selected this, press play and enjoy streaming your subscribed subliminal!
Each subliminal is subscribed to individually. If you wish to be able to stream multiple subliminals through the subscription service, you must individually subscribe to each one separately, and you must manage each subscription separately.
On the page for each subscription, you have a button to (Pause) or (Cancel) the subscription. Pausing or cancelling the subscription will immediately revoke access to the subliminal until the subscription is re-activated. If you (Cancel), you can re-activate the subscription at any time, but you will be charged again for a new month of subscription.
Please be VERY sure you wish to cancel your subscription before clicking on the (Cancel) button, because
WE WILL NOT REFUND SUBSCRIPTIONS. It is a much better option to choose (Pause) unless the following two things are true:
- You are 100% sure you are finished using that subliminal, and
- You are canceling at the right time to have gotten all you want out of usage of and access to that subliminal.
Cancellation will allow you to re-start the subscription, but you will be charged again for a new month of subscription.
All subscriptions will auto-renew unless you select (Pause) or (Cancel). However, we have made it very obvious and easily accessible for you to (Pause) or (Cancel) your subscription if that is what you wish to do.
Finally, all subscription prices will track current subscription prices each month. I do not see any reason to change subscription prices for the foreseeable future, if ever. If we do decide to do that, we will give you that information before doing so, and you can decide if you wish to (Cancel), (Pause) or continue with the subscription before we change the subscription price. But please be aware that if we do change the subscription prices in the future, your active subscription will automatically charge the current subscription price each month.
Any questions, please ask them in the Shannon's Journal Response Thread and I will be glad to answer them.
While retrieving the descriptions of the programs I was adding to the new store, I discovered two more - Aura of Love and Male Enhancement - that needed to be added. So those are now uploading... and the UMSv2 set-at-once is uploading again for the third time. So looks like not opening today... sigh. But we will be opening soon, and we are doing this as fast as we can do it correctly.
Thank you for your patience!

As stated in the News section, we are expecting to open the store sometime tomorrow, August 23rd, 2021. The exact time has not yet been determined. It will be between noon and 7 PM Eastern US time, but we will get more specific than that and let you know.
When the store goes live, we will announce it here and send out an activation email which will allow you to activate and access your existing IML store account by clicking on a link provided in the email.
We are still on schedule to open the store tonight. We will send you two emails: One is the link to activate your existing account in the store, and one is the email to tell you the store is open.
The store is scheduled to open at 6:30 PM Eastern US time. That is when we will send out the emails. Please do not create a new account if you have one with our store already; use the account activation link in the email you get for that purpose.
In spite of my best efforts, it turns out that it may require more than an hour to send out all the account activation emails. Since the store will not be open until 6:30 PM local time, I can't start sending them out until then. So please be patient if you don't get one immediately after 6:30 EST. It is coming.
