Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Shannon: is it possible that too much of E2 will prevent stuff from getting processed, maybe because of the state shifting, positive programming, processing instead of executing, or just plain getting tired or bored with the instructions? Would it be better to aim for constant bliss or a bit of contrast between letting stuff come up and then releasing it with the state shifting?

According to the snowflake analogy, more listening would pile up more flakes, which would be good. But if I consider that its the mind, not the program, that's doing the work, and that the mind already remembers the program after months on it (right?), then it'd make sense that it only needs to be reminded of the goal daily - not too much - and leave it to it and get out of its way. Especially with people who really don't like being told what to do, like myself. Will the mind just manufacture and pile up the new flakes on its own in this way?

I don't think you can have "too much E2". It's best to just let the sub do it's job and get on with your life.

Once the script is in place it does not need to be reminded of the goal. What it needs is renewed focus and motivation to act. Which is why you don't stop using it.

If you don't like being told what to do, then consider how stupid it is to resist an instruction set that is very obviously only doing things for you to improve your state of health, happiness and success. Makes no sense to resist.

But when you stop, after a long time using it, it will have the pile of snowflakes to consider, but it will not be constantly reintegrating them, so focus and motivation will fade.
