The strain on the ship and the engine would be enormous at first, but the strain would lessen and the energy demand would too as you get on course. I had the same thing happen.
Shannon I don't think I understand what you're referring to using the titanic analogy; can you elaborate please?
Your path and speed on that path in life is the result of what is known as "probability inertia". This type of inertia results from the fact that we tend to do what we have always done in the past. That inertia results in the speed and direction you are going in life. Once you have achieved a speed and direction that matches your probability inertia, you will expend minimal energy to maintain that speed and heading.
Now if you introduce an influence that suddenly tells you to turn and start traveling much faster and in a completely unrelated direction, and do it NOW, you are going to spend a huge amount of energy to make that happen in the shortest amount of time possible.
When we started using this program, we were all zombified. Exhausted, using caffeine to stay functional. Sometimes, even that wasn't helping. But over time, this has faded. My theory is that we introduced a variable that changed the "ship speed and heading" drastically and demanded it be done in the shortest possible amount of time, and to comply, we expended huge energy to make that happen, which exhausted us in the beginning, and now as we are starting to be on the right heading and are getting up to the right speed, it's less and less energy required.
