I've been doing Stage 2 of AM6 for five days now. I listen to subs while driving and sleeping, which is a total of 14 to 16 hours per day.
Man, Stage 2 is a challenge.
First, the warning about needing more sleep is definitely true. Most mornings I have gotten out of bed still feeling sleepy. A short nap during the day helps a lot.
I've also notice that it feels like S2 is repeating a pattern I experienced during S1. It is as though I start thinking or dreaming about something, and an internal commentary begins. This is apparently my existing subconscious programming exerting itself. Then, another commentary begins that is usually opposed to the previous way of thinking. This, judging from the content, is the thinking pattern that the subs are installing. The dialog that proceeds from this conflict is pretty fascinating to watch, which I do dispassionately. I think Dr. Paul called this process "observing ego," but I'm not sure.
With each day the voice of my subconscious programming gets quieter, and the sub voice becomes more prominent. That is probably why so little seemed to be occurring as Stage 1 came to a close, but then Stage 2 started off dramatically. I'll be watching closely to see if this occurs again.
Trying to explain what I'm experiencing in my behavior is difficult. I am thinking differently and responding to events according to this new mode of thought. I seem to see how stupid much of our society is. How people are essentially sleep walking through life. It is disturbing, but it also makes me feel like there are tremendous opportunities for those of us who wake up and remain awake.
Anyway, it's all good so far. I am really enjoying the ride.
