First I want to give a big shout out to Determined. His posting about the book Clarity by Jamie Smart is one of the most profound books I have read in a long time and it has helped me greatly.

I have upped my loops from 4 to 5 and the first few days were tiring but since then 5 loops has been my sweet spot.

Realized that my habitual thinking was my issue when it came to having subs work. Part of me was not willing to switch over to a new way of existing and always limited the amount of sub execution that I would allow. Now that I realize that particular issue I am willing and choosing to allow 100% sub execution. It really all goes back to fear of the unknown for me. Fear of not knowing who I'll turn out to be if I change. But the book Clarity reminded me that I'm not the contents of my thoughts, conscious or unconscious. I am a life energy that is known as spirit. Any thought or belief I hold is created by me and can is a self created boundary, but I'm still a spirit that can re route my creative, formless energy and create a different thought or belief. A deeper understanding of what a human is is necessary for deeper and long lasting sub results. Overidentification with your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs will cause resistance and hamstring or sabotage your results. It's best to just set the goal of 100% execution of any sub you run and then just walk down that road. If there is any resistance, just accept responsibility for it by saying, I allowed whatever it is that is resisting to stay in me, then inhabit that feeling with the knowledge that it isn't you unless you want it to be and is subject to change when you let it happen. In all honesty you are the reason that you are resisting a sub, but that is actually the most empowering knowledge you can have because it means you're in the driver seat for allowing change in your life. Not only that but every moment of your life is unique and the prior knowledge that you have learned can help you but to get the most out of life you need to mix the prior knowledge with the knowledge that your intuitive, fully in the now but also outside of time part of you to balance it out as well. No 2 moments in life are exactly the same so a blend of routine mixed with the creative unknowing is necessary. Both logical and intuitive is the best way to live life.

I will probably run MLS for a 1+ years. Honestly I don't see any other sub that I want to run besides this.

Submission to subs is an interesting thing. In fact, to develop or change any kind of belief about yourself you must submit to said belief. This comes naturally as a child, so naturally that we almost forget about it as adults, but to believe anything you first have to submit to it as "true".

The word submission can have baggage for many people and usually, it is connected to defeat and not being good enough. I'm writing this to tell you that you HAVE to willingly submit to a subliminal to see any results.

All subliminals have a flow, a push, an ability to guide, and all subs will not produce results if you don't choose to submit them. Being overly contrarian will only result in pain because a subliminal will trigger the depths of your personhood to submit, because that is what subs are communicating to, the operating system of your humanity. But beliefs and habitual thinking can and will derail any subliminals efforts to effect change in you if you do not make the choice to follow a subliminal or realize that you are responsible for allowing a subliminal to change you.

When this realization hit me I understood why Shannon regards trust above all else. You cannot submit to someone or something like a subliminal without trust. If you want to get the most out of any sub you must step out of your comfort zone and trust Shannon and the sub. Generally speaking, people want a degree of growth/change in a certain area so they run a sub which implies that they want to change anyway and you can't change without stepping outside your comfort zone so the fact that you may face some uncomfortable situations should be obvious but as it appears to me people want to change but they want subs to fit into what they already know instead of turning life in a whole new direction. You cant change and stay the same, it just doesn't happen. Then that lack of willingness turns into resistance because Shannon won't FORCE you to change because he values free will because he values trust and so he has to corner the subconscious because many people won't choose to take responsibility for what they choose to do both subconsciously and consciously, preferring to blame someone, or something else, generally the subliminal they are running. OR, they choose to believe that subs don't work for them, opting to keep their current belief system and the comfort it brings, instead of stepping into the unknown and the possibility and with subliminals possibility gets bumped up to a inevitability of a new and more fulfilling life, because sublimials tap into the creative power latent in every human. This belief that the known is comfortable and the unknown is scary is an illusion and only manifests into reality because someone believes it.

When you where a child the unknown produced curiosity and wonder. Over time, failures and pain turned that curiosity and wonder into discomfort and fear of failure. Every moment in life is different and therefore, new. The concept of any one day being like another is an illusion. It's possible that you can wake up at the same time, do the same pre-work routine, work the same job and go home on the same route every day and the conditions are NEVER the same. In fact, for everything to be the same from one day to the next, it would require a mechanical amount of precision and every person making the same decisions at the exact same time and getting the same outcome. When you look at it like this, the illusion of comfort from the known vanishes and you can reach the conclusion that every moment is unique and different from all other moments, no matter how similar they appear.

The "comfort" of your known belief system is an illusion that you create because you are capable of creating any interpretation about the reality you live in. It's NOT real because it looks real, it's real because you create that view of reality internally and then project it outwards. So your creative ability is the cause of your interpretation of reality and not the fundamental truths of the universe we live in, unless you suspend your beliefs to look at how the universe truly operates. And all you need to do to change any belief you hold to be true is an experience with a situation contrary to said belief. A decent childhood example is when you find out Santa Claus isn't real. This revelation shifts your perspective of what is real and changes how you look at the world. BUT, in the end, you still SUBMIT to the new input of information and ALLOW it to change the way you view the world.

In all honesty resistance and stonewalling in my opinion is just a lack of willingness to submit to a different possibility than the one you hold so dear. Most people over-identify with their own beliefs holding them as a universal standard and won't change because "My experience of "reality" is the only one possible" thinking/believing mindset, and choose not to be open to being wrong about their experience is the only valid and possible one. This creates friction in relationships and divides people more than anything else and is the birthplace of intolerance. As well as preventing the execution of subliminals.

The decision to allow yourself to be wrong is a decent one. It not only keeps you humble and therefore more open to learning more about the amazing universe you live in, but it also protects you from this ugly definition of failure that you're not good enough. No person can know everything there is to know, it's just not possible. If you can't know everything then not knowing something doesn't define you as not good enough, it just makes you like everyone else...........limited.

PLEASE, for your own sake and for the sake of your growth as a human being, submit to new possibilities about life and be okay with being wrong, you are not all knowing, and therefore can learn new things every day and in every situation. The less you are willing to submit and change, the more boring your life will be, because, every day will be a self-made, but not truly real, interpretation of reality, and not ACTUALLY real.
