It wasn't until Shannon acknowledged that the sub has Aura of Love scripting that some of the things I saw in Frosted's journal made sense to me. And when that clicked in my mind, PRA became an option as a "filler" sub for me. I say "filler" because I only intended to switch the input up prior to AM7. Nothing more.

I wasn't particularly impressed with OSC, even after ~8 months of use. Because of that, I had doubts about the power of 6G. Fortunately, PRA put my concerns to rest. This might be my new favorite sub. Here are some of the things I experienced very quickly.

Great Sleep - Waking up and staying awake with ruminating thoughts due to stress has been a persistent problem throughout my adult life. That typically happens at least once a week. With PRA, I've slept well every night since I began.

Regular Vivid Dreams / Guilt - I don't usually remember dreams. With PRA dream recall is a regular occurrence. My dreams seem to consistently indicate that I'm dealing with guilt over the paths I've taken when faced with forks in the road. That guilt seems to be associated with the one door that closed each time. In other words, I walked away from someone or something and I have some unresolved guilt associated with those instances. There aren't any earth shattering choices I've made, but I apparently carry a level of guilt that I would have never consciously detected if I hadn't run PRA. The theme is consistently authenticity vs validation. That partially explains the sadness I sometimes feel when I slow down long enough to feel it. It's subtle, but there's a part of me that grieves. I suspect that I have shame to deal with as well, but I don't think I've gotten to that layer yet. I'm not sure I'll get there during this run.

Stress Reduction - Both Maverick and PM did a good job reducing stress. But PRA blows both of them away. I still experience stressful events, but I'm able to disconnect from them relatively easily. I'm also not experiencing apathy. What I'm experiencing is well-tuned.

Mood Elevation - This is a big one. Sometimes this is the equivalent of a child-like anticipation/excitement of something good. Sometimes I'm less annoyed by small things. And when the occasional annoyance does strike, it usually fizzles out quickly.

More Social - For the most part, I don't tend to engage in conversations unless they serve a purpose. I was a shy, sensitive kid that often got my feeling s hurt, so I'm pretty sure this is an extension of the fact that I tend to keep most people (including family & friends) at an arms length. With PRA, I tend to relate to people more easily. So I find myself in casual, natural interactions instead of wishing the other person would get to the point and shut up. I work with a gentleman that falls on the loud/boisterous end of the social spectrum. Instead of being annoyed with him (as I have in the past), I've found myself genuinely enjoying brief conversations with him. I've probably initiated more conversations with him this past month than I have in the past year.

Affects on Others - It never ceases to amaze me how subs with aura scripting can affect other people. This one is no different. The aura of love has a disarming effect. Folks that might otherwise act as if they're threatened often drop their defense and the interactions flow freely. I've noticed this with several colleagues who I interact with daily. I've also noticed this with at least two clients. (Side Note: I'd like to see more subs, particularly those with social, success, and money focus use auras that aligned with the primary goal. Both DMSI and Maverick have helped me professionally and I believe the auras were at least partially responsible.)

Learning - From the time I was young, I've had a tendency to initially reject new information, regardless of the source. After that I would allow myself to absorb that information bit by bit if I deemed it worth my time. I believe this stems from the need to feel in control, a general rejection of authority, and the need to feel like I can do things independently. With PRA, I'm more open to information instead of outright rejecting it when it's first presented. I've still got a long way to go on this issue (it runs deep), but I've seen improvement.

Resentment - I seem to have released at least one source of resentment that has plagued me for years.


@ Shannon - I'm glad that you plan to keep PRA v1. The script is brilliant for those of use who aren't severely traumatized. I've noted in my offline journal that I would very likely purchase this sub and run it through November & December each year when I typically take time off work for the holidays. In fact, I wish I had done exactly that for 2025. I do think you should tune up PRA's writeup. To me, it reads that it's simply OGSF + EHPRA + FRM. When I read the writeup, I thought to myself, "Ok. So what?" The sub is so much more than the writeup communicates. I know you have limited time, but I do think you should make sure you adequately communicate the goodies that are in the script. I almost missed out on this one.

With all that being said, bravo!
