Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

A solid foundation is not the walls, my friend, it's the floor.  The walls were never mentioned.  The point is that anything above the floor will fail and the housewill collapse if the foundation (floor) is not strong and solid.  I can see how this analogy may have been misunderstood.





I am not in the habit of apologizing or telling people "sorry I fucked up" unless I fucked up.  I did not.  I don't even really know why you think I did.  I gave you advice, and you didn't seem to understand it, so I gave it a different way, and now you're attacking me and claiming I fucked up and am being rude.  Perhaps this is a cultural difference, or perhaps it's a personal issue you are going through, but from where I am standing, you are being unreasonable, disrespectful and rude.  You are also definitely not acting like an alpha (genuine alphas don't need to be rude or disrespectful), which would also indicate, once again, that you would benefit from another run-through or two of AM.

I have made my arguments.  If you cannot follow my logic, or choose to ignore what I have said, then I cannot help you further on these points.  Dealing with the human being in front of me is what I have been trying to do this whole time, but I don't think you're being reasonable here.  If you want to get the results from AM6, then run it again.  If you want to run DMSI, you can benefit from AM, but it is not required; you can run DMSI at any time.  AM is required for SM, and technically speaking, you can run that if you wish after just one run-through of AM. 

As for upgrading AM, that hasn't been done since 2012 for some very good reasons, and it will not be done again until I finish developing 6G (which should be later this year, finally).

And as to the advice you gave at the end, that would be all well and good if that were currently possible, but it is not.  So until it is, we have what we have to work with.

Shannon,

I want to take a moment to reflect on our recent discussions. I appreciate the depth of your responses and your commitment to the programs you've developed. However, I feel there's been a misunderstanding between us, even now around the use of the term "alpha" and what it implies about my efforts and experiences.

I've shared quite a lot about my personal challenges and the context I'm operating in, hoping to find tailored advice that resonates with my unique situation, which I felt I didn't find from you. When my experiences are framed primarily in terms of not being "alpha" enough, it feels as though my individual journey and the complexities of my environment are being overlooked. This has made the dialogue more difficult for me, as it seems to reduce my efforts to a simple question of fitting a specific mold, rather than understanding the nuances of my struggles.

Given this and everything else, as stated, I think it is beneficial for me to take some time away from the forum to reassess and perhaps approach our next conversations with fresh perspectives. My hope is that if I return, we can engage in a way that fully respects and acknowledges the complexities of individual experiences, including mine.

I am genuinely eager to continue learning and growing through life experiences and programs, and I look forward to feel a renewed focus. I can only wish the same for you and for Benjamin. And if or when I return, I hope to find a mutual understanding that enriches our discussions, unlike what we've had here.

Thank you for your understanding.

I agree, there does seem to have been misunderstanding here.  I'll be here, and as always, ready to help when and how I can.
