Subliminal Talk

.....

So you started journaling on the 4th day? Why didn't you journal what happened during days 1 and 2 and 3?

As for the fear reaction, what you should notice is that with every ASRB2 cycle, that fades out more and more. The goal is to figure out what the best bloom time is, because if we don't leave enough bloom time, you'll end up overloaded with this. Over time, if we need to, we can make adjustments.

2/3 Off Day

Daaannggg, Fear hitting me so hard today, I can make drinking water with my palm because I'm sweating a lot, sweating occurs when I have anxiety or fear of something. My confidence level plummed down, and a little sensitive to someone, it's the opposite when I have a high confidence level (IDGAF). I'm very excited when I'm out just to ride a motorbike around the city, but not for today. I want to play 1 loop to resolve this bastard but an off day is necessary (according to the instructions). Hoping tomorrow is not much worse than today.

So the cause of your sweating this time is random thoughts or there is some sort of resistance?

It's still to early to tell about autoconfig/more exposure than official recommendation.

Maybe recalibrate the volume or change the volume after 14 days are better ideas.

In my opinion, if you do too much exposure too early, there'll be input overload and the result are the brain too exhausted to process anything so in the end just a waste of time.

We still don't know how far the upper limit of 5.75.7G, what possibilities await if we could resilience enough to do as instructed. 

Just think about it as a phase, like staged Alpha Male, first 32 days are garbage removal.

Hope everything get better real soon.

That's definately a sign it's working. You use a program that's focused on overcoming fear and these deeper fears come up because they are being worked on. It sounds like it's reaching a deeper level than V2 was which would explain what is happening.

When it passes you'll feel alot better.

.....

At the end of your first 14 days, it sounds like you should experiment with reducing your days off by 1 per ASRB2 cycle until you find the right place.

I see this in a different way.

I don't think you should completely rely on DRS to stop people from being an asshole to you, and personally I wouldn't want it to completely.. because it brings a perfect opportunity to learn to stand up for yourself.

I see this as it possibly bringing some of these situations to you so that you can learn to stand up for yourself, and most importantly deal with the fear around standing up for yourself because that's the core of the issue.

I completely agree with what Benjamin is saying. "Waiting for something to take care/protect you" is in my eyes a victim thinking. Taking care of my own well being is in my eyes the only way forward, to make decisions, show boundaries, stopping people or even shutting people out of your life that are not good for you. Surely you will sometimes make mistakes as we all do, sometimes you might go a little over the top, sometimes you might not be direct enough for others to understand it, but you will learn and grow in the process and become the master of your life.

DRS works to the degree that it has focus in a program, and you have the energy to give it to work.

In OFv3, it is by far not the main focus of the program, nor the main user of energy. That, naturally, goes to the removal of fears, and for certain people, this will require so much effort and energy that DRS may have little to nothing left.

Unfortunately, one cannot have it all. I have done the best that could be done to balance this program to achieve the best results, but the focus must be on fear removal before and above DRS. If that means you don't have the energy to have a sufficient DRS, then that is what it means.

The good news is, as you deal more and more with and remove the fear, the DRS will return because it will not require as much energy to focus on fear anymore.

In the beginning, I found the DRS in OF v3 worked beautifully for me. When I was exposed to just 23 minutes of another subliminal, the DRS disappeared and I was too exhausted to work or even stay awake. These programs use a huge amount of energy, because the parts of you that hold and create fear are not weak. Neither is the amount of energy that DRS requires small when the attacks are significant.
