I think it’s because it seems you keep looking for ways to skirt the recommendations and you don’t quite have the baseline to actually experiment meaningfully - it’s not really personal since some other forum members have this tendency too, hence his response. It’s best to run according to the guidelines for at least a few months and then change your listening schedule. Also, if someone is interested in experimentation, they will also take into account of experimenting with decreasing loop counts per week. True experimentation involves establishing a baseline, then going with both increasing and decreasing number of loops - as well as increasing and decreasing the number of rest days. If it constantly leans more towards increasing loop counts, then some introspection is in place such as :-
- Am I too impatient for results?
- Am I actually in reconciliation?
- Is it possible that it may be more beneficial to experiment with lower loops and more rest days?
- What are the experiences of those who have experimented with lower loops and more rest days?
- Am I latching on to an exception of the rule of someone succeeding with more loops at the expense of those with less loops to justify my hidden recon?
And so on. Hence, the importance of journalling which is probably the most underrated aspect of noticing and improving results. Being consciously aware of unconscious tendencies allows one to integrate the effects of subliminals that occur on an unconscious level, both in input and execution.
Also when @AlexanderGraves says
It’s essentially a hint to what he’s actually saying (or at least, one can meaningfully interpret it in a deeper manner useful to us), which is “What conscious/unconscious tendencies lead you to ask a question whose answer would not be that beneficial to you at this moment?”
