Too powerful and effective? What is wrong with that!?!?!



The only thing I can think of that it could cause things too outside somebodies reality instead of building up to it.

I once used a program that has brainwaves and subliminals and audible affirmations such as "I rule the world" and reported such side effects as megalomaniacism, it was for confidence, and it was really stong initially and I had a big surge of confidence, but then it turned to feeling depressed and terrible, and several people reported the same thing it seems.

So I think the best idea is building it up, as I believe you have done with Alpha and SM, and not just having it straight away.

It's bad when it is so powerful and effective that it makes you sick to your stomach, uncomfortable emotionally, frustrated and just plain feels bad all around, which is what that test did to me. However, the other two test subjects present were absolutely responding with the desired effect.

Any chance or taking on other beta testers??? Or perhaps posting them to the experimentals page with the above warning label?

I have been considering doing some beta testing, but I don't want bad copies of this floating around either. So far those I have given copies to for beta testing have shown very little interest in actually testing it... so I'm doing it myself for the time being.

As for the warning label, it may be necessary to have that warning label if it turns out that it's an unavoidable side effect for some people. It'll definitely make you know something's going on, though, that's for damned sure. I was literally stunned at how that test went, and stunned by the results too... not just seeing them, but the experience was almost like literally being stunned.

Unfortunately, the subject I am researching is a complex one, and there are currently 18 different prototypes, at least 6 of which are showing promise, but all in different circumstances.
