Not to box you in, but do you presume that this will be a 7-14 day wait? Or more/less?
I was about to start streaming AM 7.0 tonight but I think I'll do the adult thing and heed your advice.
A bummer, but for a better cause.

I estimate 5 to 7 days to build it and get it published, presuming recording the audio starts when the CPU queue clears tomorrow at ~3 PM.

Amazing. I eagerly await your finest work, and I'll jump on it immediately when it's available.

Just a heads up. That estimate skipped something that will make it take longer.
Also, lately I have been unusually exhausted and short tempered. I am either sick, or this is TID from Stage 1, or this Uranus sign transition is kicking my butt. I haven't decided to do Stage 1 because I find myself in a position where doing it would be very difficult with my live-in female, but I think that is the most likely explanation. Regardless, it's got my brain feeling mushy, whatever this is, and I'm having to slow down considerably to avoid making mistakes. So be patient. It's being worked on, but correctness > speed.

I understand. If the ETA is up in the air, is there a reason why I shouldn't go with the 6.0G version, if only for a month?
Is it the 1-week break period between both subliminals?

I have yet to figure out what is going to be the way forward. Is it going to be that you can simply switch from one to the other? Or will you need to wait a week? Or will they be incompatible, and you need to finish one before using the other? I don't know. I will know in a week or less. It will be worth the wait if you end up having to finish the 6G version before you can use the 6.5G version.
By the way, I have finished the scripting review of Stage 0, and added recording of the audio for the first male voice to the processing queue. I estimate it will finish that in roughly 14 hours, since there is something else that's going to take a long time ahead of it.

I'll admit.. in a moment of 'weakness' I subscribed to Stage 0 of 6.0G and played the first run last night.
I'll deal with whatever curveballs come up as a result of that.
Stage 0, Day 1 - Morrison shouts in my inner ear for the first time
I was surprised at how the following happened:
1) I ran this new subliminal for three hours as I was falling asleep
2) I needed to wake up early to drop my car off across town at 8 AM
3) I woke up an hour before my alarm, both willing to wake up or willing to sleep.
4) Woke up a few minutes before my alarm and was wakeful right when the alarm went.
No exhaustion whatsoever.
My car's a little messed up and I'll need to put a bit of money towards immediate repairs and a chunk of money later on.
I've wanted to make late-May and beyond relate to money-making.
As I've mentioned before, I came to the realization that money-making is - as my current life is concerned - the primary thing that I should be concerned about.
I believe that I hold archaic beliefs that money-making actions puts me in an exposed and compromised position - one in which I'm open to criticism and potential embarrassment - and so my mind creates ways to avoid putting me there. And if I'm in 'business mode', I come up with ways to slowly back away. It's as though I have faulty emotionally-based reasoning about people's expectations of me, my feelings of deservingness around asking for money, feeling greedy/guilty for setting a price for my service, and how I feel if I can't deliver on my promises.
There are already mentality shifts and a slight increase in my willingness to do various things.
LOL I laid down the law at the part 2 of the same meeting I was complaining about earlier in this thread.
I started out polite but remained firm. And it worked! It changed the tone of the meaning, and people behaved themselves.
A call with 9-10 people is not a license for 4 people to speak over each other and to present new angles while the main person is in the middle of their sentence.
Stage 0, Day 2
I watched this interesting piece of Clavicular - the "looksmaxxer" e-celebrity -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5YVwd1TaCk
I had me realizing that my intense desire to skill-build and build myself up - usually via personal projects requiring no other people - is a way for me to build up a pile of proof that I can point to and to reject the people who could potentially reject me.
As if to say:
"You're turning down a guy who speaks 5 languages, has written 6 books, is a guitar master, sings, kicks ass at martial arts, is big and tall and handsome? WOW, you must be pretty STUPID to turn down someone like that.."
It might appear to be an exercise in honorable self-improvement when in reality it is a wall I'm building between myself and other people, eroding my ability to connect.
In the looksmaxxing world, the figureheads lay out a list of features that they strive to attain, and when they do it's considered objectively attractive.
However, it's not an impartial list, considering that this list of specifications is a typical description of what is more generally found attractive, but not a prescription that we impose on other people. Furthermore, there's a curated shaming language to attack any person who doesn't buy into their list.
Through this frame, the women are made to be wrong for rejecting such guys while the looksmaxxing men make themselves right.
Possibly related to this: It's interesting how much I'm suddenly longing for something not only sexual, but intimate and tender with a woman.
Stage 0, Day 3,
My day feels enriched in some interesting ways; where I was able to more meaningfully engage with life.
Went to my tech week and I had a fun time.
I was able to very confidently return some jeans at a thrift shop and engage with the cashier; the reason this is meaningful because the process is awkward and can make security suspicious of you about shoplifting. No problems at all.
Stage 0, Day 4,
I'm enjoying how smooth this experience has been so far.
I find myself able to be an effective leader in my music group, though another guy is the unofficial leader.
Stage 0, Day 5,
Tonight is my second evening off. I suddenly have an interest in studying power, leverage, and strength. Those are the real forces which move the world.
This is after watching a video about 'Disney Morality':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYbgfgE96VI
Yesterday, I developed the interest in becoming the strongest version of myself that I can be.
Literally, down to the chin-ups, squat and bench press amount, etc. All while doing it naturally and blending it in with my lifestyle.
I've definitely coasted in this regard - though at a high enough level - during the past year, since my body still looks, moves, and feels good.
Stage 0, Day 6,
I had a scenario where I got to remain steady through the eye of a mild storm during rehearsals yesterday.
The drummer gets passionate about what he believes is the right way of doing things; he'll get worked up when he feels that his vision is frustrated or when the non-musical director is too vague or flippant about what he wants from us.
Some sideways remarks between the director and my drummer registered as conflict, but it didn't register as that "oh shit, there's conflict."
And then, there was a near blow-up between myself and the drummer; which the other child drummer and lead singer exacerbated by giving less regard to the timing. The cast cleared out for a break - not 100% if they sensed the "shit is going down" tension - and we eventually sorted it out. Laughed about it later.
It seems that my psyche is willing to enter tense situations while retaining my full cognition and level-headedness.
I also willing to disagree and argue for my position.
With a small inkling of "I'm in an argument right now, so don't ramp things up where you don't need to"
This is a major difference from just last week, where I was feeling compressed by the weight of other peoples' wishes, and felt guilty for "imposing" my wishes onto other people.
