I've thought about stopping E2 a few times to finish my clearing process with tapping (since it interferes with E2). But it's near impossible for me to know what's just my own thinking and what the sub is trying to get me to do. What I think I should do is wait until the next time I feel good again and then either lower hours on E2 gradually or just stop. Wait 2 weeks. Then either tap or do DMSI. But I have no way of knowing if this is "resistance", just my thinking, or what I actually should be doing.
The way I see it if you have doubts about being finished you're likely not. I'd imagine when you truly finish clearing whatever it is that's holding you back you'll have a clear sense of not needing E2 anymore. I don't know if you can relate to this or not, but you know when you think about doing something or having a certain life and it almost feels like there is an invisible force holding you back from that? To me that's a clear sign that there are still things that need to be addressed. In my case I'll know E2 has done it's job when this anxiety I have is so completely gone I don't even think of having to manage it anymore or figuring out a way to build my life around it. I'll just create the life I want. Unlimited choice, freedom, and no excuses for why something can't be achieved.
I know exactly what you mean about the invisible force. I've only had that feeling for two circumstances in my life.
1. A lack of having friends and never being popular (I'm pretty past this as I have a good amount of friends and have had my time of popularity and don't care as much about being popular)
2. Success with women. As I said earlier, my social fluidity and social confidence have been absent for most of my run of E2. But yeah, my original reason for running E2 was to remove this "invisible force" and be successful with women.
Do you think it's better to run E2 until I am successful with women instead of running E2 a predetermined time and going to DMSI?
My career is going up, I'm having more ideas for creative projects, I just would like to add sexual relationships with hot girls to the mix and maybe manage time better since I'm limited for the time being. I feel like I'm going to start getting diminishing returns on my E2 run. It would be amazing to be immune to feeling fear, guilt, and shame, but I feel that it would take at least 1.5 yrs to come close to that. I don't really have that kind of time and I'm sure E3 will be more time efficient when it comes out.
I plan on doing AM7 (hopefully it'll have E3) so that should completely take care of any possible insecurity I may have left.
You can always come back to E2. Maybe you just need some success with women to get it off your mind. The question you have to ask yourself is what's your priority right now? Your career or women? Though from the journals I'm reading DMSI seems to be having an overall positive effect on all areas of life, so it's not so black and white as it was in the past with these attraction subs.
I don't know how much better DMSI is with overcoming resistance compared to E2, but if that's your main issue which I suspect it might be, maybe DMSI will help you get over some of this stuff. A lot of guys having trouble with E2 I think are just resisting the programming, myself included. One thing that's been helping me. I sit down, breathe, and just relax my body fully while listening to the sub and I tell myself "I now allow any and all changes to be made to improve my life". And really feel that and be committed to it and trust in the power of your subconscious mind. Sometimes you need to put yourself into alignment with whatever the subconscious is attempting to fix, otherwise it feels like something else controlling you and that causes fear which causes resistance.
