When your high value comes from within, the external world will mirror that. If we want to cite researchers, Robert Greene's MASTERY has a similar premise. His results showed that social influences (outside the existence of a mentor) have little to do with it -- anyone can become a legend with enough practice, experimentation and dedication to a craft.
And subs have drastically changed my life. Two runs of AM6, a few months of DMSI and I'm completely indistinguishable from who I was two years ago.
There's a concept in sociology called the Matthew effect (based on the bible), It basically gives credence to the statement "he who has, all shall be given and he has not even that which he has shall be taken away from him" or something like that. Or the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, if you're talking about just money.
It's true that what you believe will be mirrored in the world (as above so below), but what you believe is also a product of what's in the world (as below so above). Other peoples thoughts and perceptions of you can effect your reality as well in that same way (LOA), who you are around has a big influence on how much harder or easier it's going to be to go in your direction (if you're able to get there at all).
Shannons subs have changed my life too, but if I'm being objective, it's ionly because of the promise of what's to come and not what it's done so far. Putting it another way, if someone's resisting something, I'm not sure if subs can ever get that person to stop resisting it. Side effects I can see, but main objective? I.e. That one thing you've been after this whole time? Not so much. Not sure if you understand what I'm saying.
