Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Hey @Shannon What do you think of my current idea of carpetbombing 24/7 for a whole month to break down resistance? The idea is that my subconcious mind doesn't have unlimited energy to fight against a program that runs 24/7, indefinitely, until my subconcious mind runs out of steam and just stops putting up a fight. THEN I can actually PROCESS the programming with the resistance gone. What do you think of this idea?

Well, it's about like trying to put your hand in a jar it's too small to put into.  If you are successful, something will break.  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?  If you "break down your resistance" by exhausting it, then maybe that would be a good thing.  But you also have to consider that you are consciously impatient with a subconscious part of you that is fighting for its life out of fear.  You yourself have said that you only see E3 execution results, which tells me that you need healing and clearing before you can execute.  So is carpet bombing really the answer?  Would you try to heal by forcing the person you just did surgery on you get up and run a marathon to get their blood pumping faster so they can "heal faster"?

You cannot force healing.  You cannot force healing to go faster than it can go without making it no longer be healing.  Not everything is solved by "more is better", and "no pain, no gain" is patently full of shit.

So is your results so far just a show that you're approaching this the wrong way?  Or are you going to make things better by pushing even harder and further and more?

It seems to me that you may actually get better results by being more patient and trying to communicate with the part(s) of yourself that are resisting, trying to understand and help them, instead of trying to force them to break and do your conscious bidding.

That's why I stopped scripting my programs years and years ago the way I was doing it - I found that persuasion works better than attempts at force.

I think you are too impatient by far and you are also approaching this the wrong way.  Do what works.  

So what is that?  I'm not sure.  But there's a reason I didn't suggest that people just carpet bomb all month to begin with.  I think you need to approach this as you talking to another part of yourself, who is YOU, not "something or someone else", and be considerate and kind to YOURSELF.  Try to understand what those parts of you are afraid of and WHY they respond and think the way they do.

The results are surprising when you apply some kindness to yourself.  And that's what you're dealing with here: yourself.  Trying to force some part of you to break doesn't sound healthy to me.
