Much of my inability to approach or act on manifestations (like the woman I saw yesterday) is from a knee-jerk reaction to what may happen if I do.
You may say this is simply fear, but when there is a real possibility of getting attacked physically, fear isn't the only thing running through your mind.
I wouldn't say it's fear, necessarily, but the use of rationale in the face of a consequence that's possible. Shannon always said his goal with OF is to replace fear with using logic and the rational mind to make a decision instead.
So, are you inferring that the auric shield needs an upgrade or optimization?

I argue remove this entirely. Haave a blanket affect on ALL members of the sex we find SI. Leave it up to the user to decide how best to proceed.
With that, however, add modules that allow the user to telegraph, through BL/energy, a disinterest in those they are disinterested in so that those people will not pursue and will not create awkward or embarrasing situations
I see. You're saying remove the rating system, and then allow the sniper to affect all women you find attractive - perhaps by aligning its power with whomever you are most attracted to through the least?
Regarding your second point, you're saying you want the Anti-Sniper to fire and communicate "back off, sexually!" to women we aren't interested in? That would have to worded very delicately. Of course, I believe Shannon can pull just about anything off that he sets his mind to.
Quote:[*]Disconnect from impatience and unrest. "Fools rush in."
Not sure about this one, especially if you want people to be more impulsive and "backwards rationalize" their feelings. It contradicts.
It doesn't contradict, because one is the User side, the other is the Affected side. I advocate the User has patience, disconnects from being impatient, and shifty. I think the Affected should absolutely act on feeling and impulse. That makes all the difference in the world, IMO.
Quote:[*]"Oneitis" Sniper: Snipe any person, of the sex you're attracted to, who dominates more than 60% of your sexual thoughts, 24/7.
Not sure about this one either. I'm pretty sure I think sexual thoughts about porn stars more than I do people I've seen in my daily life.
I would say that having a sniper snipe the people we have consciously agreed to however.
For example: I don't think sexual thoughts about my hairdresser all that much (unless I'm sitting next to her with a boner like I did back in 3.0.1 but I digress), but I do want to have sex with her.
That should be enough. I don't want to have to consciously maintain DMSI. There's enough of that going on already (most of my limited results came from conscious actions I took with GREAT difficulty. I'm honestly too tired to keep doing that)
Your hairdresser example is really what I was trying to across with my point. I should amend the bullet point to read, "Who you have physically met," much like the Long-Distance Sniper. I, in no way, meant the "anyone, anywhere in the world" version of Oneitis-Sniper (like how the current LDS works).
Thanks for your input. I think we got some great versions of DMSI in our future!
