Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

I have read a few threads where people were carpetbombing when they thought they were in resistance with the sub. I understand that by doing more and pushing they hope to "break through" the wall of resistance.
How do we know that it is helping or not helping in each case? I mean of course in the moment when the mind starts cooperating it helped. But the questions is more like "how long should we use the method of carpetbombing and after which time is it necessary to try a new method?"
A have seen it a few times on the forum and on myself that in the beginning I begin to execute the script a bit and then it goes into nothing (=interpreted as resistance of the mind). A lot of times the users answer with a lot more loops while the answer could also mean less loops, for the mind to "allow" it and accept it instead of brute force it.

"Carpet bombing" is not recommended.  It is only going to be useful for a very, very small number of people.  The idea behind it is that where there is resistance, the program does not have enough influence to overcome the resistance, so more exposure is necessary to achieve that.  But nobody wants to do things in a scientific manner, which would be slowly incrementing the amounts until you hit the sweet spot.

Going too far is just as bad as not going far enough.
