Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

Hey Shannon

Glad to hear the building for the custom will be underway. I did have a few question along with something to report tied to them.

1. Will you be working on 3.3 next after the custom or a focus fire sub of some sort?

After taking a few days off to rest, I plan on building a few focusfire subs and then working on 3.3.

2. Have you still decided on whether you are going to make the effects for the affected inescapable in 3.3? If so what were you planning on this looking like? Like a "wall" but for the affected?

I will have to look at that before I can answer. We can't take away free will in all this. So if there is a way to do it without taking away free will, then I will probably do that. Otherwise, probably not.

3. Have you come up with any idea along the way to deal with the fear of death if you execute thing that a few people have mentioned? I ask this one because I would like to report that recently again had a dream dealing with the same issue. Basically, some of part of my subconscious still believes if it executes it will be killed.

I believe that this "fear of death" is not literally a fear of dying, but a fear of change and becoming something different. What I have been working on is ways to defeat fear, any and all fear.

4. How is the testing for that second key to resistance you mentioned going? Is it still showing good promise on very resistant personalities?

Testing of the second key has not begun yet. That will most likely start when I build B17. B17 should be finished in late July or sometime in August. Unless you guys don't mind me adding it to 3.3 untested.

B16, however, even without the final keys, is doing extremely well on persuading even the most resistant personalities I can get to help me test. I am significantly impressed. Conditions for formal testing have been elusive, since they are so specific, but the myriad of informal tests I have done at this point have consistently produced exceptional results and the results get better and better with repeated exposure.
