Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[UniversalMan]

@Shannon  your thoughts on:
1. supplementing UMS with OF on days off of

You have to remember that OF is designed to remove ALL of your fears.  Not just what gets in the way of using the program you want to use it with.  It is therefore going to help you achieve your goals with the program, while distracting you from the program and using energy and resources that the program would otherwise have benefited from.  In other words, there will most likely be a net loss of value.

The only way to make this work is to use OF for a long time (preferably a whole run-through) first.  And by then you may not need it.  OF is not designed to be used with anything else, and you'll most likely be taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back trying to use it that way.  At best.

2. supplementing OF with DRS on days off of OF

Days off are for resting.  Supplementing on days off is not resting.  That is point #1.  Point #2 is that days off are for processing.  And if you're trying to process on inertia for one thing, while running something else, you're going to fail.  Point #3 is that OF already has DRS.

How long till DRS becomes permanent programming?

Respond when you have time, thank you

Most likely... never.  The fact is, even if the programming becomes a permanent fixture, and you're always generating this DRS, you won't be doing it at anywhere near the strength you would be if you were using DRS.  Why?  Because for some reason programs like DRS and MIR only work while they're actively in use.  I don't understand why this is for MIR at all, but for DRS it's because for some reason your subconscious will not put in the effort to continually move the required amount of energy to accomplish that goal.

And secondly, DRS is not designed to become permanent for that reason.  I have seen some evidence that it may, but N=1 is worthless.

I was asking because, my friend who listens to UMS did not have succes with it (neither I when I was listening), so I thought she would benefit from some loops of OF on her days off UMS...that was the idea, but I guess that would not benefit her.
I am currently on OF 4.5 months in....so, on half, and It is amazing stuff!!!
Recently I have come to something big, cause I am getting depressed and sad with no apparent reason, I guess it was working on something big, on the last cycle I would rather continue without the pause, but I was too exhausted to continue through.  
I am tempted to start LTU, but I will stick with OF till 8 month mark.

And for the DRS on days off OF , I am recently exposed to more negativity, that is why I asked if it is possible to supplement on days off OF.

Thank you for the answer!
