Douglas raises some good points. I trust Shannon completely, but the cult forming around Shannon on the forum is not helping us objectively.Also we have to note something interesting: nobody posts about FAILED program in the testimonial section, it is only full of positive results. But in the journals, we see failed results..

The testimonials area is designed for collecting and making it easy to find positive results.

It seems that the programs work for some people and not for others with resistant personalities.. it seems that some programs work for particular person, others not.. some people don't listen properly .. and some people need more runs as they are way behind what the programs are trying to achieve.. 6G should handle most of the resistant personalities issue.
The problem comes when we have a resistant personality,strong will , and at the same type being far away from the goal of the program.

Hmm I'm thinking about that, and I think your "strong will" may actually be a weak will. You know deep down that you want to change and improve, but you haven't had the will to do that by yourself in the past. Hence you turn to subliminals. And even with the subliminals, your subconscious and conscious mind both know you need to change and improve your life, but are not willfully changing. I think the more accurate thing to say is, you have a lot and very deep-rooted subconscious fear, which resists the program, and prevents you from taking action during your run. I for one, am certain I gained many great improvements in inner self, but my subconscious fear prevented me from taking action, and actually changing my actual predicament and situation in life.

Weak wills tend to be more easily influenced. They are actually more responsive, not more resistant. That is not to say that more responsive = weak will, it just so happens that I am very strong willed and very responsive. But when it comes to resistance, willpower is what resists cooperation, because the scripts are designed to be VERY persuasive in 5G, and much more so in 6G.

Having the will to do something is irrelevant if there is no desire, and if the desire to not do something is outweighed by the desire to do it, weak willed or not, you're not going to do it.

I know a number of people who are very weak willed, however. The two most prominent are testers for me, and both have the interesting quirk that they have one specific aspect of their personalities that is very strong willed. Generally they are effortless for me to influence with the 6G prototype, but recently I added an experimental statement that was designed to include one of these two and exclude the other based on a specific physical characteristic that embarrasses the owner of it. The way it is worded, the exclusion should only result in less magnification of the script. Yet instead of that, leaving her with the previous level of response, she actually stopped responding in the moment at all. Before I removed that statement, instead of starting to experience the effects of the prototype within seconds flat, it took her 4 + hours of exposure! Still ridiculously fast compared to most subs, but also still a drastic decrease of speed. Once it was removed, she went back to responding in seconds flat.

So even generally weak willed people may have some aspect of their personality that is strong willed and can resist. Purely weak willed people usually end up being lost in escape through alcohol and/or drugs because they cannot deal with life effectively.
