Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

@Shannon
After reading your and Catman's discussion I see that I could be one of the so-called 2% or in my case perhaps 1% since nothing has worked for me on any sub of the many I have tried except for no-fap from 1 loop on 3.2. Multiple loops did nothing.

I don't want to be in this minority. I want to execute and I want you to succeed for me for Catman and everyone. It's in our vested interested afterall.

I started with IML in 2015 officially which is when I packed my bags and flew to Europe to do my dream degree. I invested in a $400 dollar stereo speaker system - us brand (A2+ AudioEngine) - shipped over to me in Europe all at a considerable cost as I believe both in the subs and my belief for wanting them to work.

I jumped from sub to sub hoping they worked purchasing each as I went forward and had issues in playing regularly as I had obstacles in my way either from my health or from travelling back, a flooded room in the UK meaning sleeping in the lounge when last member of family went to sleep (ie not getting 8 loops worth of sleep or listening time)and so forth or a silly inconsistent uni schedule or my own insomnia etc.

I would play via my mobile when I would return to the UK as I couldn't find any affordable cheap speakers to play whilst in the UK and would play with a mobile since this was assured to me I could by you. Only now I got an answer indirectly that mobiles work for you probably only you thus went and bought brand new speakers for my UK bedroom to play whenever I return back to the UK to my newly refurbished bedroom.

I have only been listening to um/op for a short time so far coming to my 2nd break of 2 days soon and so far nothing.

I really want to help you to help me and all like me.

I try to positively and politely always give feedback and my pov as and when I can. I don't always read everything on this forum nor visit daily due to time so don't take it to heart at all when others get critical of my questions since this is me asking what I genuinely need to know due to how I feel at that moment in time.

I now after reading your discussion really want to help you to make every sub work for all of us from the 98 to the 2 and 1%.

What can I do to help you? I am happy to and only for this reason happy to leave um/op and get back on dmsi if this helps or whatever you suggest.

I want these subs to work and I do whatever I can. Nothing for me has changed. When the no fap worked on 3.2 I did nothing different. I played and I listened and only variable I saw was that for the 1 loop I used headphones. Perhaps for me or for all headphones are the only means for execution but more than 1 loop with headphones is very uncomfortable or unlikely for me due to my lifestyle. I still do believe headphones are the variable that allowed me to execute 3.2 no fap subgoal.

Post 3.2 so far um/op hasn't shown me any indication of execution. It's the same tech but no execution.

To help you with as much support and data as I can what would you like and what would you suggest I do for you?

Thanks buddy and to Catman and all good luck to us!

The key to being helpful is to help me understand how and why you are resisting, and how to help you execute instead. So far the only thing I have been able to do to figure this out is build, observe, adjust, repeat.

The next few versions of DMSI are going to need to be tested by the most challenging of you. I'm seeing a definite pattern in why the resistance is happening, and what is behind it. Figuring out how to change it to execution is what I'm working on now.

The only thing I can suggest is, keep doing DMSI when it comes out, and stick to whatever instructions I give you during the run.
