Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

Shannon, just from the way you have been handling yourself on this forum lately I can tell that USLM3 has had a very positive impact on you.

You've got a much friendlier and encouraging vibe about you now. And you are still able to do this without losing the ability to assert yourself and your ideas when the occasion arises.

When you see me get upset, it's always going to be because I'm basically stuck in a pressure cooker and things are going wring in too many directions at once while I am for whatever reason unable to fix them. Which, by the way, happens a lot under the influences I have been subjected to in the last 2-3 years, as you may have noticed.

What you're noticing now is as much my use of USLM3 as it is the fading out of those influences.

I get very frustrated when I cannot at least do something to make progress towards my goals, because that leaves me feeling hopeless to change whatever is not going well. I created USLM to force a positive mindset and refusal to stop trying regardless, because I saw that the end of this cycle was going to be particularly heavy handed on me. After years of this influence, I was exhausted, discouraged, close to giving up and in need of help.

USLM to the rescue.

Which is a pretty good testimonial for my subs, come to think of it.

When I'm not backed into a corner and forced to fail and make 10x the effort that I would normally have to make to accomplish anything, and be delayed endlessly in doing so regardless, regardless of what I do or do not do about it, by factors entirely outside of my control, I have a lot more energy for being patient and relaxed.

USLM isn't changing the cycle's influence, it is changing my response to it and my ability to keep going no matter what, regardless of how frustrated I am, how exhausted I am, or how hopeless the situation seems to be right now.

@Shannon

After this pass concludes on 27 December, will there any more cycles or passes in the immediate future?

There are two types of cycles that affect me negatively that I know of. Right now, at the end of the major one, I am also being hit by the minor one at the same time.

The major one won't show up again until 2025. The minor one I usually can just ignore because it only takes a week or two to pass.

And with the conclusion of the cycle, will this expedite the completition of 6G? I feel like you are so close to completing it but external circumstances have dictated otherwise

Absolutely. No more forced failure, frustration, delay. Much easier to be productive when my efforts actually matter.

I'm already roughly aware of how things will be going regarding 6G. We should have it finished being developed in 2019, and some 6G programs finished, and then in 2020 we should see a lot if titles being pumped out in 6G, basically the whole catalog. Which I assure you, will make IML very popular.
