Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

Alright - so that means that the six stage LTU will not only overcome the "being bored" effect but also be a more comprehensive program in total.

It will prevent boredom, and make the program able to approach achieving it's goals in a significantly better way.  

And I really hope you don't make it as AM which you HAD to follow the 32 days per stage, I couldn't make it and it therefore i turned to LTU. Hope that you make it in a way that you can choose how long time you run each stage so you can switch when you feel that you are ready for the next step.

Ah, here lies the rub.  That is exactly what I had planned, because that design works.  

There are two design philosophies that currently dominate the subliminal world.  There is mine, and there is the one preferred by some of our competitors.  Mine says, if you want the goal to be achieved, you design the product to achieve it, and then design the usage patterns to achieve it.  The other one says, "You have the right to use the programs however and in whichever combination and numbers you want!  So have fun."

It is my contention that if you want to achieve the goals of the program, and especially when they are as complex and demanding as LTU is, you will design and use them according to what achieves their goals.  That is what I do, and that is what I have always done.  

So my job is to design the programs to achieve their goals, and your job is to use them in the ways that achieve the results.  If you can't make it, should I then make the programs so that they work for you, but achieve inferior results for everyone else?  Remember, the whole reason for us going from a monolithic single stage LTU to a six stage set is because the monolithic didn't work for a lot of people because it was attempting to do everything in one stage.

I would say that you "not making it" on AM6 is not an issue with the program, or its design, but the person using it either not having the self control to use it properly, or not wanting to achieve the program's goals.

At present, the most likely design will be a 6 stage format, or a 6+1 stage format.  If it includes an "all in one", that would necessitate that I do all sorts of tricks to prevent people from just using the all in one format and then demanding a refund if it doesn't work for them, even if they didn't use it according to the instructions.  I'm tired of having to do that, which is a big part of why it will be built in stages this time, instead of as a single stage.  We had a small but significant number of people buy LTU5, and then quickly discover that it was asking them to do things that apparently scared the hell out of them.  Instead of just trying different ways of using it, they then either didn't finish using it, or didn't use it properly, and demanded a refund, even though they were not following policy to be eligible for one.  This resulted in some chargebacks, and then those people being fired as customers.  (Banned from the forum and the store.)

Now had LTU5 been built as a 6 or 6+1 stage set, those people could have been stepped up to the goals, and they would have been much less likely to have ended up being banned by us for refusing to follow our refund policy and forcing the issue after not using the program properly in the first place, because all in one was apparently too scary for them.  Meanwhile, we had to deal with their abusive behavior and lose not only their payment, but the paypal fees, meaning we effectively paid them to buy our program.

I'm not going to keep doing that.  

So... since we are forced into this corner by a few bad actors... this is how it will be.  We have to do the things that protect us as well as best serve our customers.  If that is not satisfactory for you, I can only suggest you keep using LTU5.
