hey dissonance, I believe that's the case for sure. I even had moments during the first couple weeks of SM3 where I was SURE my mind was executing the AM6 programming. I've theorized this on my own myself based on my experience.
His eloquently written post also touches on "download mode", which for catman has been 21 hours a day. I found my sweet spot to be APPROX 17 hours +/- 1 hr , but i have not found this out in a scientific way by any means. I just have a feeling that's my sweet spot. I do agree with his theory, and I have posted it in this forum in some thread... But when you're in "download mode" a.k.a. inputting info, you're not able to output behavior; i.e, exhibit changes the sub is trying to bring about in you. So when you're constantly in input mode or "download mode", the output process will be pushed back until the sub or stage is done, whichever the case may be (catman may be onto something regarding the diff between AM6 vs SM3).
Every once in a while, maybe once per stage I sleep without subs for the night, just to give more time for output.
So considering my AM6 hours being 20 hrs a day, I still was able to notice the program's goals being fulfilled at about stage 5, and I felt solid about the results after the run. And then all the rebound growth that I wasn't able to output in 4 hours per day hit me like a train when I finished the program, but the challenges of SM3's programming kind of twisted and challenged me in a different direction.
I kind of hit on a few different points so far, I hope I didn't lose you. I feel like I kind of rambled aimlessly, and part of this is a response to catman's journal entry and partly in response to your question dissonance.
As far as wondering whether to run AM6 or SM3 next, I'll share with you my experience.
Being at stage 4 of SM3, I still haven't regretted my decision to do SM3 after only 1 run of AM6, but I do feel I OWNED the bullet points as they are stated on the sales page. Not at a 10/10 level, but at least at 8/10 for most items.
The drawback is that I can sometimes get into a state of being where I question myself, or lose confidence in myself that phases in and out occasionally. I'm pretty sure a second run of AM6 would have cleared that up. I have ALSO noticed my AM6 results might be diminishing.... I stated it in a previous entry last week or so, where I'm feeling the impermanence of 1 run of AM6. However, this drawback is countered because SM3 is giving me new challenges to face and work on, especially in regards to social interactions. I make a fool out of myself a lot, but they are just ripe opportunities for AM6 to work on in its next round... which by the way, I plan on running again after this run of SM3.
So if you're up for the challenge, I don't see the harm of taking the plunge into SM3 after your first run of AM6. Perhaps you can ask benjamin his reasoning for running AM6 back to back instead of going to SM3, he'll give you his experience on that side of the street... which i honestly would like to hear also.
hope this helps
