Shannon's Journal Discussion

[ImFreeman]

What kind of confidence are we talking about?, because we can be confident in our abilities in diferent things in our life depending on our experience doing them, for ex a nerd can have a lot of confidence studying and taking exams but no confidence whatsoever regarding women.

Or ASC is about a general wellbeing feeling of state where we have a general confidence in our abilities to 'have control of our lives' ?

I found that self regenerating state Shannon talks about is mostly based on past experience. It really is deep and stable confidence when you have an array of past experiences to support it. In that regard, I think (maybe Shannon already does this), there should be a 'rewrite the past' kind of script to adjust our past experiences (not just our beliefs, but our memories of those experiences) to make it congruent with the beliefs we are trying to instill ... (of course there could be a breach between reality and those memories, that has to be accounted for in a way that causes no trouble)

I think that would provide even more fast and long lasting results than just providing the state of confidence, and waiting for the user to generate the new experiences.

Would this be possible?

What you're referring to is self-efficacy, or your belief in your ability in a specific thing. For instance, I had a professor in college who has a high self-efficacy for exercise - so much so that she wouldn't ever miss an exercise session - even on vacation. Most people display low self-efficacy there, and thus don't exercise on vacation. I imagine the sub would be designed to increase your belief in yourself in a general sense that would extend to developing high self-efficacy in many different areas of your life.

Hey Shannon,

Since you were talking about football programs that magnify the results of BAMM, have you ever considered creating footballs on AM/SM/BASE? It'd be great if we can get extra results based on existing technology. You can implement the 6G tech in the football magnifier in order to make AM and other programs more effective.

Practically speaking you don't even need to create new programs if you can create 6G magnifiers. I know they will still be created regardless. You can release the footballs fast so we get a taste of 6G, and create the new 6G programs while we are enjoying it.

This is indeed what I was thinking about with my post, yes, like a hypnotist saying "think of a time when you felt extremely confident" and has you anchor the resulting remembered state.

That is exactly what I am talking about. Basically what I will be seeking to do in the next ASC is not only associate existing confidence with other things that it can be applied to, but to create the experiences, internally and externally, which result in stable confidence.

I have to determine whether or not it would be the best and safest option to "rewrite the past", but that is a possibility. I have to make sure that doing such a thing does not generate any sort of cognitive dissonance, or anything that could even remotely be or become harmful.

It can also be done by using a couple of very advanced methods I don't care to divulge, which are 6G secrets.

Whatever I determine to be the safest and simultaneously most effective ways forward.

Hey Shannon,

Since you were talking about football programs that magnify the results of BAMM, have you ever considered creating footballs on AM/SM/BASE? It'd be great if we can get extra results based on existing technology. You can implement the 6G tech in the football magnifier in order to make AM and other programs more effective.

Practically speaking you don't even need to create new programs if you can create 6G magnifiers. I know they will still be created regardless. You can release the footballs fast so we get a taste of 6G, and create the new 6G programs while we are enjoying it.

The reason for the football in BAMM is to avoid rebuilding the base program because it is so ridiculously huge and complex, and because it is not necessary to do so given the use of a football.

But, all three of those programs, AM, SM and WM, would massively benefit from a complete rebuild using modern technology and my current understanding based on R&D and observing the challenges people have experienced using them.

The idea may seem good to you, but you would not think so if you knew what I know. Better to forego footballs wherever possible and build the whole thing from scratch.

My understanding of what ASC has always been is to create absolute self-confidence in the broadest and most general sense of the term so that it can be felt and applied to every aspect of one's life. Shannon might have something to add, but that's how I think it should be and continue to be.

in that regard, I think (maybe Shannon already does this), there should be a 'rewrite the past' kind of script to adjust our past experiences (not just our beliefs, but our memories of those experiences) to make it congruent with the beliefs we are trying to instill ... (of course there could be a breach between reality and those memories, that has to be accounted for in a way that causes no trouble)

There is a distinction to be made between rewriting the past and simply changing how you think/feel about it. I can only speak to AM6, but the subs (that are targeted to do so) already work to create the latter. In the past year I have certainly reframed some of my perceptions without rewriting history in my mind. And feedback to Shannon would be that there is always room for placing more emphasis on this aspect of development.

If you succeeded in making subs that rewrite past negative memories, then there wouldn't be a reason to tap on them and flip them to be positive! It'd already be done via the sub

It's do-able. I just have to figure out how to do it safely. That's priority #1.

Wow, very interesting ideas. I personally can't wait until I run ASC, hopefully the new one is out by then

You don't ever want to attempt to manifest a specific person. Manifest someone who is "perfect ___" or focus on features without defining face or person.

I wonder about one thing, would it be ok to use a face if you knew the other person wants you, too? You know, to accelerate things. In theory it wouldn't be against her free will. Just asking.

I recently thought this girl was into me. She was suggesting we do things together and hangout with me. Constantly asking my preferences about sex... Then a mutual friend told me in private that the girl wasn't interested.

Hopefully it works out better for you.

The only way it can work without backlash - and even then, only sometimes - is if the person fully understands what you are trying to do and genuinely consents to it of their own free will.

And even then sometimes there can be issues.

The friend sounds full of shit and a cockblock.
