I think it's exactly my wealth ceiling that needs to be destroyed. Again, sounds like a job for E2 since three rounds of BASE didn't do the trick for me. Much appreciated advice, heavysm!
See, this is what makes me think that BASE can be upgraded with various scripts reworked to be more universally effective. Some modules affect us very differently and sometimes almost not at all.
This is also what gets me excited about the next evolution of BASE. I'll be using it as a 5G anyway, but i can't imagine how much more amplified our results will be in 2017 and beyond when we have BASE 6G to play around with.
RE: Ivaylo's BASE 2.0 Journal - Ivaylo - 07-20-2016
Over the last week I've been torn between E2 and DMSI as my next sub. I've decided to give E2 a try for 32 days and see how I feel afterward. The main criteria I'll be using is whether I'm seeing myself express more of BASE's programming. Bird feeding (the metaphor some of the guys have used) would be a step in the opposite direction and I can at least rely on DMSI to spring me into (some kind of) action, while also doing a bit of clearing.
I'm aware I'm setting myself up with an excuse to give in to my lower instincts with DMSI after 32 days, but I'm confident I'll have the necessary willpower to do the right thing. I'm in this for the long run.
I'm finishing up with BASE tomorrow. I'll do a longer review of my whole experience sometime during my break before E2.

Well, I have finished AM6 for 1 full run and didn't get any noticeable results from it. That was like 1.5 years ago. It's not until now (~100 days of E2) that I have noticed some improvements that could possibly be linked to having run AM6. I can't say for sure because this could be E2 alone, but if I'm right then E2 can remove a lot of the stuff that was previously impeding some of the results and thus the results for previous programs can appear while running E2.
From my personal experience E2 is the most potent sub Shannon has created to this date.

Enjoy your change of pace, Ivaylo. I am looking forward to your testimonial.

I think you're right - E2 *can* unleash some of the programming that you were resisting before. I distinctly remember Shannon saying that somewhere.
Anyway, E2 is potent, I've got no doubts about that. I did a 2-hour run a while ago and I definitely got a taste of what's in store. I'm just not sure how it will affect my real time behavior when I run it full time - hopefully I can still keep my productivity up.
Heavysm reports some drop in income after he switched from BASE to E2, but he also reports different behavioral changes from what I experienced during those 2 hours, so it's going to be a worthwhile experiment.

Thanks, Raz. It won't be a full testimonial since I'm still some way off from considering myself truly successful in terms of income, but I will definitely say a lot of nice things about BASE. It will be interesting to see how everyone's experience of BASE matches up.

Very interesting. In my journal in recent posts i've talked about how E2 seems to be mimicing the good stuff in Stage 3 of WM, but it could also be helping unlock some of WM that was stifled due to my trauma and fear. Alot of it I attribute to less guilt, shame and fear.
RE: Ivaylo's BASE 2.0 Journal - Ivaylo - 07-22-2016
Thanks for the input, guys! That's really what I was hoping to hear from you E2 users. I've also been browsing through E2 journals and it seems that a lot of people change their speaking style around the 2-month mark. The style seems more mature and I can almost feel the emotional tranquility. (even when people are describing how they're going through some stuff)
Everything I needed to convince me I need E2 as my next sub seems to have happened. Great testimonials, Shannon announcing there will be no upgrade policy for DMSI 3.0 as well as one personal event that I will write out below for my own sanity's sake. I'm wondering if it's all some manifestation from BASE.
Or maybe E2's manifestation engine started working before I started listening? My subconscious already knows the script, so... at this point I wouldn't be surprised actually.
----------
So, absurd story sharing time.
Yesterday, I'm messaging a close friend something like "Hey, bitch, when are you free to go grab some beers?". He responds that he's offended by the word "bitch" and he won't talk to me anymore, he blocks me from Facebook and he doesn't return my calls even after I've apologized via SMS.
Now, keep in mind this is a guy whom I've known for 8-9 years, we've been very close friends who kept in touch daily for most of those, we've shared some f-ed up things about each other and we've had real angry fights over money because at one point we were in business together for a few years.
Now, as much as I don't like to admit it, although I am shocked and hurt, I also felt relief. This guy changed quite a bit over the last year and became more superficial and manipulative. I still thought there was value in this friendship, but well... that turn of events points to something.
The thing is, this happened so quickly and with so little logic behind the events, that I can't help but think this is some kind of manifestation. I'm not sure I'll ever know and E2 will have to help me make peace with that as well.

I had a mixture of BASE and E2 reveal some of my long time friends, and how we've all pretty much moved on. At first it sucked because i felt excluded from social things, but now i see that I'm just 100% on a different frequency than all of them.
E2 sort of pushed things over the edge so that now i know for sure we're just on different paths. I've also had close friends whom I had been actively helping be revealed to actually be talking shit about me behind my back. So yes, E2 will reveal a lot of subconscious questions you may have (are these long term friends who really resonate with me?), and it will answer them with blunt as f$%k responses.
RE: Ivaylo's BASE 2.0 Journal - Ivaylo - 07-25-2016
So, before my memories start to fade, I guess I'll just do my final testimonial.
BASE 2.0/2.1 is a massive, massive sub. Really don't know where to start and I'm sure there'll be a lot of things that I'll forget to mention. I'll just go over every area of my life and try my best. This is by no means a complete list.
Money:
The income I'm earning right now is comparable to my best days from a few years ago. There are a few differences:
- My income then was completely passive, my income now is only 10% passive.
- I had 1-2 streams of income then, I have 3 different streams now and I'm comfortably looking for more.
- I used to twist the truth in my sales copy before and I used to sell stuff that didn't bring me any joy to promote. Right now I'm fulfilled with what I do and how it changes me as a man. This is massive because it gives me incentive to improve and earn more in the future.
- In terms of actual income, I'd probably be an average Joe in the US and I'm easily upper-middle class here in Bulgaria.
Admittedly, wealth ceiling destruction is one of the modules that didn't seem to work well for me yet. My thinking about money seems to be the main thing stopping me right now and I'll be addressing that with E2 and probably some conscious effort in this direction. Personally I consider my biggest achievement the fact that I've learned to make money in ways that I find emotionally and mentally fulfilling. (not sure if I should involve spirituality but keeping my integrity is definitely what keeps me motivated) Anyway, I consider this mindset the foundation for any future effort I make and that foundation is well taken care of.
Health:
- It's now very much effortless for me to keep myself in good shape. Definitely easier than before. A few months ago I was probably in my best shape ever, currently though it's so hot here that I don't have the incentive to hit the weights that hard.
- I enjoy physical exercise a lot more, in part because of transitioning exclusively to kettlebell training.
- I changed my eating regimen to 70% plant-based foods and I feel quite good.
Dating:
I expected to get some improvement in my dating life from BASE. There were definitely observable changes, although not exactly what I had in mind.
The main demographic that became interested in me switched from 21-25 to 26-35. Of course, there were still instances where I've attracted girls in their early twenties, but not nearly as much as the women in the next age bracket. I started to observe these changes around stage 2 of my first run.
Makes sense that older women were more attracted to me, since my main tool of attraction became authority and charisma. It actually felt a bit limiting and over more than 1.5 years I grew a bit tired of it. Especially since I was looking for a LTR for a fair chunk of that time and I always considered her being older than me a deal-breaker.
General stuff:
- My friendships changed a lot. Lost friends, gained new ones. Old friendships seemed to be based on insecurities that I no longer had... and though I was willing to just redefine the friendship in most cases, the other side was never that willing and preferred to remain in their comfort zone. Maybe on the outside it appears as if I'm doing the same, can't really say... but I'm always willing to see things through another perspective, while I don't observe the same thing happening with many people I know.
- Ever since my first run I learned to think about things in perspective and I started to prioritize long-term goals over short term ones. Probably took me a year to actually start doing this automatically. This drive also affected my romantic relationships as I realized I'd like to try for a LTR. Still haven't found a girl that shares my view of sex and relationships though. (who's at least 2 years younger than me and is single)
- Lots and lots of smaller improvements that I could really spend all day discussing. There's no way I can remember everything that happened to me and how I've changed over such a period of time.
----
I'm sure a fourth run can bring many new changes, especially manifestation-wise. Here's why I decided to make a switch anyway:
- Boredom. Having the same subliminal run for 1.5 years became a bit too much for me. Granted, it's a six-stager and that's probably a large part of why I was able to last that long without getting bored.
- Productivity never really improved that much for me. I'm still a night owl and I'm still way more productive after 7PM. I've had some productivity bursts during the time I ran BASE, but the longest ones lasted for 3-4 days. I saw Shannon mentioning somewhere that E2 can bring relief to that, which is partially why I'm switching.
- Less resistance from E2. It feels a lot more refined, especially compared to what I've experienced during the first two stages of BASE every single time. I definitely appreciate the benefits of these stages, but I found it a bit hard to go through this again after I got a taste of E2. I know, they have different goals, but I'd prefer to wait for the next update to Ultra Success for my next business sub.
-----------
So this is it, guys. Again, this list is far from complete, but these are the main points as far as I can tell. Could have made this post twice this size and it still wouldn't have been enough. If you're curious about BASE, I'm happy to help. As for me, I'm moving on to my next adventure with E2, unlocking the rest of BASE's programming and also in preparation for whatever is available in 3 to 6 months.
RE: Ivaylo's BASE 2.0 Journal - heavysm - 07-25-2016
I'm guessing that a lot of the business oriented people here are looking forward to BASE 6G. I just have to play things by ear and adapt according to how things develop. You've lasted on BASE quite a bit longer than i did for my initial attempt at a second run, so kudos to you for sticking it out up till now.
Just a thought, but have you read The Boron Letters by Gary Halbert?
I just picked it up as it was recommended to me, but I enjoy the old school analysis of marketing and persuasive writing.
I'm also looking for a relatively affordable copy of Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz. Need to build up that bookcase of the persuasive writing masters, though my current shelf is bursting at the seams with fiction and metaphysics.
You have any book recommendations for a budding copywriter?

You know, I have The Boron Letters on my Kindle, but I couldn't get into it. Got to a point in the book fairly early on where he was giving out nutritional advice like an authority... well, turned me off for some reason. Now I think I may have overreacted. Maybe I should exercise some willpower and try to get to his sales advice at some point.
Anyway, my way of starting out was by following this:
http://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com/newsletters/zfkj_hands_on_experience.htm
I don't have all the books, but I think I may have to get the rest of them and set aside the time to read them.
I also bought John Carlton's Simple Writing System 1.0 quite a while back and I've been revisiting it every year basically. Just now I found out there's a 2.0 update released, I have no idea what it's about but I figure it could only be better. It's decently priced as far as full-featured copywriting courses go and I enjoy his style very much, so it was a no-brainer for me when I bought it. http://simplewritingsystem.com/
Other than that, I've been copying by hand successful sales letters from here. http://swiped.co/
Basically that's it. Anything else I try to get from actual work with clients.
Edit: Now I'm reading the SWS 2.0 sales letter and I'm definitely hooked. Can't get enough of John Carlton for some reason. But I'll probably get the rest of the books first. Get the timeless stuff right before learning anything else.

Re plant based eating - If you aren't already, make sure you avoid estrogen promoting foods like soy and you'll be good. I look forward to hearing more post-BASE results, as I have BASE 4G and will run it after graduating!
RE: Ivaylo's BASE 2.0 Journal - Ivaylo - 07-31-2016
Fifth day of E2 full-time and I'm manifesting situations in full swing. I'm not going into details, but it seems like everything that I need to happen to get new realizations about my life... well, it happens. I've "lost" my closest friend for the last 5-6 years last week due to some seemingly illogical behavior on his part and I'm still learning to take advantage of the new opportunities that arise.
I'm realizing how untrusting I've become lately. Lots of people I considered close let me down during the last 1.5 years, not sure if I should call this BASE or simply life, but this didn't use to happen before, not at this scale. I've taken pride in being resilient and consistent through all this, but I guess this has taken its toll on me nevertheless.
Still, on BASE, I didn't experience this to be that much of a limitation, but here on E2 it's a different game. Here, I seem to be receiving so much love that any closing down, any hardening that I've developed, becomes painfully obvious. Just one example was when I had a great girl show me a solid sign of trustworthiness and care the other day and I just couldn't fit it into my world view for some reason. Took me a day to appreciate what I've witnessed.
Anyway, the common theme here seems to be Love and breaking down all boundaries that obstruct its flow. I'm seeing some BASE programming unfold and my productivity is a little bit better, but that's not my main measure of progress. Somehow all my previous plans that I'll only do E2 if it doesn't interfere with business - they went right through the window.
