Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

I hear you on the rest, fair enough.

Just to follow up on this part above. So, we have 11 ideas so far that will be implemented, with another 9 to be tested for possible inclusion as well? Wow, that's fantastic. That's quite a lot to implement in one release. A lot of scripting required to make it all harmonious, no doubt. Really looking forward to this release and how it interacts with my issues. I hope my posts recently gave enough insight? I appreciate your detailed post earlier about me by the way.

The other day I got an intense feeling of what it'd be like to be rid of my fear(s), was amazing to think about and really get into. Was very exciting to finally be rid of that shit, it felt possible to do etc. and was quite a good feeling. Like euphoric, it felt like it was really going to happen with this release, I hope so and it isn't wishful thinking. Today that has dulled a bit, but still, the program is looking to be a big step forward so I'm excited to see it soon.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a copy of OF V3. I knew it'd be a successful release, just like OF V2.

Right now, we have 4 implemented, 1 in process, and 5 more definitely required for inclusion.  One has been permanently rejected.  3 are still possible inclusions, and the rest are unlikely, but will be re-assessed once all this is completed.

That feeling you got of what it's like to be rid of your fears?  That could very well be TID.

Hey @Shannon, how are all of these improvements coming along now? Fantastic how so far 10 ideas were green-lighted already. That's impressive, good to see so much forward movement, creates confidence surrounding OF V3.

That TID thing may be possible, I don't think I've ever felt it before so I don't know how it's supposed to make the person feel. I do know that feeling dulled yesterday and today, but that one day was awesome, lol.

Looking forward to hearing more about OF V3 as things progress.

So far there are a verified 11 ideas going in, minimum.  I have had some ideas while working, but only one so far has passed modeling.  I'll do another sweep for final check of the remaining ideas after these 11 are finished being added.  We are making good progress.

TID is the initial experience of the program's influence before you start playing it, and with people who are strongly fear-driven it seems to be that they compensate for it as much and as quickly as possible.  Since the program isn't "here yet" (being used in the "now"), the effects are weaker the further into the "past" you begin experiencing them from the time when you start actually using the program, and thus easier to counter.  

However, I and at least three other people so far have experienced an unusual new type of TID since 5.75.7G became a thing, and all of us have experienced the same thing: a sudden very strong experience of having the effects of a program, so strong we can identify what it is coming from title-wise, which is unlike anything we have ever experienced before, and which lasts 2-4 days and then fades.  

When I got the effects from AOL, I was definitely not planning to run it at all, and yet I got those results clear as day for a number of days.  Then weeks later, I ended up running it unexpectedly at the suggestion of one of my advisors in an effort to help her depression, which it did a beautiful job of.  

So it sounds like your experience fits the common experience, which is why I think it is a plausible explanation to say it is potentially TID.

Wow, great to hear you had an epiphany while working on it and that is now going into the program. Quite a lot of new ideas going in then, that's fantastic to hear. Very exciting indeed!

Ah, maybe that was TID then. Interesting. Weird how it showed up and then went, instead of staying or staying and getting progressively stronger. As you say, maybe it's a new kind of this effect.

I have a feeling that if you really max this thing out, that it is likely to be the breakthrough for me once and for all. That was what I felt that day of TID. Hopefully that comes true.

5.75.7G does allow me to "max out" certain variables.  Let's hope they're the right ones.
