Shannon, what could it represent that my gf keeps having recurring nightmares about being chased and running away from ghosts/men that want to be with her?

@Shannon

Hey Shannon,
Even though I am running E4 and plan to until my first run is up (I might run E4 one more time but we’ll see)

I am wondering where UMS 2.0 is in the queue? I am eagerly looking forward to seeing the new improvements with version 2.0

@Shannon

I also was thinking within the next two months would be the perfect time to drop UMS 2 because of all of us who are finishing up our LTU runs. You could sell more copies of UMS 2 that way Shannon. Also I really want UMS 2 6 stage after seeing how much more effective LTU 6 as a six stage was compared to LTU 5. I can only imagine how amazing UMS 2 will be in six stage and upgraded with your new tech.

hey Shannon,

My apologies if this has recently been asked, but do you have any plans of creating dmsi 3.3.3 soon or any timeline on when you might? Thanks!

First day ,out......... Bought!!

Will the 6-stage LTU 5.75G stay at the pre-order price or is it set to increase?

Hi @Shannon

What is your opinion on jealousy and what it’s root causes are?

I’ve found myself filled with jealousy all throughout my life- especially with regards to close friends of mine and if they are more successful than me in some fashion mainly especially when it  comes  to money and women, I tend to become filled with resent for those close to me whenever they come out on top rather myself- in the sense that I must always come out on top and I can’t bring myself to be proud of them, happy for them or filled with joy in any way when it’s them coming out on top rather than myself

I believe that jealousy ultimately stems from a combination of faulty beliefs and fear.  The faulty beliefs basically amount to, "If someone else has X, I cannot.", or "If someone else wins, I lose.", or "If someone else has X, I'm not good enough somehow." or "I deserve to have everything, and if anyone else has something I don't, then they deserve to be punished for stealing it from me."  Things like that.  Those beliefs generate a fear of not being good enough, or missing out, or being considered inferior by others, etc. which result in the feelings of jealously and the choices and actions that the jealously itself results in.

It is part maturity level, part faulty beliefs and part fear.  The maturity level has to do with the part of your conscious or subconscious in which the faulty beliefs reside.  The "version of you" that believes those things, and responds with jealousy.

What can I do to rid myself of this and better myself internally and externally to not only not care but to genuinely be happy for those around me while also being genuinely happy in my own life

I’m currently using LTU6 and started supplementing a bit with OF V2

LTUv6 is a good choice of programs to use.  OF is also good, but perhaps not as good as LTUv6.  E4 might also be a good choice, but again, not as good as LTUv6.

As a side note: I believe that I have a fear of sex, women  and/or intimacy on some level (tough to believe for someone who loves women and sexy as much as me, at least on the conscious level)- this realization came about when I stopped using OF V1 and switched over to LTU6, I would get the runs or at least some sort of stomach discomfort whenever I would be with a new woman, I found myself treating this discomfort with alcohol- it’s not until applying OF V2 that I notice the discomfort in my stomach subsiding as well as the runs and use of alcohol- any  idea why this might be and why any man would fear sex, women, or intimacy on any level to begin with?

If it's causing gastro-intestinal issues, then it's going to be something that comes from a very deep part of your subconscious, very likely a very young version of yourself that is long forgotten by your conscious mind.  That part of you will have had one or more experiences which were associated with the things you now fear, in a negative way, and interpreted in such a way as to result in that fear.

Shannon, what could it represent that my gf keeps having recurring nightmares about being chased and running away from ghosts/men that want to be with her?

It could represent a lot of things.  Symbolically it is notable that she is being chased by both ghosts and men; ghosts could represent imagined fears concerning something (men?), and men could represent actual experiences, or experiences with men.

She is dealing with some sort of fear subconsciously, and trying to escape rather than face it.

It's not far off that I'm going to be starting work on UMS v2.  Some time after I finish building LTUv6 Stage 7.  But remember that I'm going to  build all of it before I release it, and I'm going to need months to do that.  So it will noit be the only thing I am working on, because I need to release something each month that is available to sell.

The men could also represent the more masculine aspects of her personality that are trying to emerge, and she is afraid of expressing her more masculine side or afraid of integrating those traits.

It's not going to matter what the perfect time is, unfortunately.  It will matter how much work needs to be done, and how long it takes me to do, while I do everything else that needs to be done to keep IML afloat.  The most important thing I can do is build it to the best of my ability, and do it right.  That will most likely require at least 2 months, and I still have to build LTUv6 stage 7 and build something else to offer for sale this month before I can start on that.

Six stage sets are a major PITA to build at this level of complexity, but they are superior to single stage programs in multiple ways, and that is why I choose that format.

hey Shannon,

My apologies if this has recently been asked, but do you have any plans of creating dmsi 3.3.3 soon or any timeline on when you might? Thanks!

I can do one of two things.

1. I can create DMSI v3.3.3 from 3.3.2, upgrading nothing but the skeleton script, adding FRM 4.9 and building it in Platinum Lake build method, which I estimate will take about a week to do and will give me a good idea of what I am working with since the tech has improved so much since v3.3.2 came out.  Basically this would have the advantage of being easy and rapid to build, and would tell me a lot more about what I need to do to get those affected to respond before building v3.4.

2. I can try to upgrade everything and figure out the outward facing FRM, which is taking a very long time, and which is not getting far because I'm so busy working to build so many other things while I try to figure out the outward facing FRM.  I don't know how long it will take me unless I focus on it completely, and with LTUv6, UMS v2, etc. to build also I'm not sure that's a good idea.  

Increasingly, I think option #1 is the better choice.  It would get something out there as an upgrade, it would be a significant upgrade because the skeleton script has been improved so much, it would have FRM 4.9 in it, and it would be built using Platinum Lake.  Basically, a major upgrade even if I do nothing to the Key scripts and the dedicated scripts.  This would also show me specifically what the upgrades have accomplished and what I need the EFRM to accomplish, and get something out to you guys who have been waiting for so long.  It would put me in a much better position, IMO, to build v3.4.  It would also use up one of the last two free upgrades.

You guys will have to vote on which path you would like me to take.

The price will not increase until we come out of the economic impact effects of the novel corona virus pandemic.  It's going to be a little while yet.

Good point.
