So I have been reading about micro loops of 30 seconds and how it is enough to reinvigorate the sub in my head.
but that makes me wonder, if I accidentally play a sub, and I immediately turn that off before the 20-30 seconds mark, does it still count as me using the sub for the day? or can I just shrug it off?
i usually search the forum for my questions but I can’t find the answer to this one
That probably depends on how sensitive you are to that specific subliminal.
One of the main points of running micro-loops in the first place is to minimize overwhelm-based recon.
That means that a very brief exposure, while it does have some effect, has less power to cause recon.
So, in this case, I’d just:
Say “oops”. (Don’t skip this step; it’s very important)
And then proceed in line with my original, intended plan. As if I hadn’t listened to anything.
But, in the end, it depends on your own sensitivity, ease of flow factor, etc. If doing the above leads you to experience recon then that means that you are at the more sensitive end of the listening continuum. Probably lucky; since it might mean that you are highly, highly responsive to even very slight stimuli. In such case, you should:
thankyou for the clarification!
i think saying oops is a kind of an acknowledgement that it’s a mistake and to not beat yourself over it. it’s my assumption but that makes a lot of sense
in the end it’s about our own sensitivity to the subliminals.
I agree. No need to beat oneself up over something minor like that.
(But also, I was making a joke. Feel free to replace step 1 with some other statement or action. For example,
‘1. Eat precisely 1.5 Doritos chips’, or
‘1. Take a brief moment to reflect on the power of The Force in modern life’, or
‘1. Take a moment to think, with compassion, about all of the people across the world working so hard every day to produce humor on online discussion forums. Taking the tough risks so that you and I don’t have to.’)
(more jokes. just ignore them.)
Can confirm, I once listened to a microloop accidentally and didn’t say “oops” after, and I died. Like, i actually died. This is just my ghost writing this to spread the word and prevent others from experiencing the same tragedy as me.
You guys are really giving your all on comedy here. 
OWHH THAT WAS A JOKE
it made too much sense, I couldn’t tell it apart at the start lol
I love you.
Can you elaborate on this part ?!
There are people who can do a lot with very slight exposure to subs. Their minds are highly receptive and the conditions are ideal for taking in, integrating, and applying new information.
Some of us, in contrast, need more repetitions, more exposure. It’s like the new message has to make its way through a maze in order to arrive at the inner sanctum of our creative, generative selves:
And then, for that ‘labyrinthine person’, the impulse to act and to express that information may also need to follow a similarly circuitous path in order to come to fruition as action.
No biggie. Just takes a bit more time. Just keep playing loops and working at action. Eventually the whole labyrinth will be saturated with the useful messages and action will flow just as easily as for anyone else.
Maybe the labyrinth is a kind of defense system for those of us who may be very easily overwhelmed or who may have had a few too many past experiences of running afoul of hurtful, harmful messages and information.
At any rate, there are also those who have the (probably subconscious) ability to orient themselves so that messages can be received and expressed very smoothly. “Flow factor”: the information flows right in and the actions flow right out. And the person easily “flows” in harmony with situations, tasks, and goals.
(If the info goes by Path 5, it’s just a straight shot right to the core. But, if necessary, they also have Path 3, their other more complex options for defense as well.)
So, my statement was saying that for a person with extremely high “flow-factor” they could, hypothetically, be able to do A WHOLE LOT with just a very brief exposure. Thus, they might also want to be more careful about over-exposure.
I feel this applies to me.
I’m experimenting with not listening to all 3 titles the same day this time around. I’m doing 2 one day & 1 the next listening day. I may even consider splitting them up with only 1 of each sub every other day.
