So ...if the files I want to work aren't working any more, what do I do?
I start thinking. Now, when I'm think, it's not your garden variety "thinking". It's much more than a meta-analysis of what happened.
I started at the beginning, which is always a good place to start. What was contained in that first Jock file -- TrainTotalJock (TTJ) -- that got its hooks in me so deeply after one listening? Well, after listening to the file for so many times -- it was the only file of its kind that I knew about for about a year -- so I could more or less break it down int it's component parts.
There was the "you love to look the part" suggestions. Although I bought an occasional tee-shirt and jeans, that wasn't a major hook for me. I had quit going to church and didn't have any great desire to be a fashion plate with such extremely limited areas to show it off. Show up at eh local part-time gay bar in Armani? I don't think that was the dress code ... and I was not going to spend my limited cash to get leather gear. Besides, I don't drink ... which would have made me popular at college as a "designated drive" ... if I knew how to drive. (My epilepsy prevented me from learning how to drive: I had to prove I had been seizure-free for one year before I apply for a Learner's Permit.)
The going out on the town to pick up total strangers for sex was anathema to my personality. I want to know much more about my "conquests" than their bra size -- in my case, that would be need to be cock size; I'm gay and this file never said anything about changing sexual orientation. (One file -- TTJ2, which EMG nicknamed "Train Fratboy" contained five minutes of suggestions of going out to party and being able to pick up any (female) because you are so damned hot and sexy. This is definitely NOT MY STYLE. I'm not into getting someone drunk, taking them back to someone's place, and raping a boozed-up unconscious female. I'm not that kind of dude.
Somebody re-mastered TTJ2 for gay guys (and straight guys with morals) by removing that specific five minutes of suggestions. They labeled the file with the obnoxious material removed TTJ2-NoStr8. Everybody knew what that "-NoStr8" meant: the undesirable material as gone.
Then there were the "play sports" and "watch sports" suggestions. Well, I watched some sports, but I was never a rabid fan of any of them. I never developed a desire to play any sport or lift weights, or even attend local sporing events, like the local hockey team or the high school wrestling teams.
So that was a bust.
Now we're getting down to some throwaway phrases that were inserted as filler. EMG only mentioned "getting dumber" in one phrase of one sentence. The sentence goers something like this: If you want, your intelligence will decrease as your strength increases." Fine, if that is the answer, then why do I want my intelligence to decrease? What are the "being dumb" benefits that my subconscious sees that I have no clue exist?
(to be continued...)

Thanks for your post. Most people that comment on the files of TTJ are focused on the working out and dumbing down aspect. The part that I most wanted was the part of liking to watch and play team sports. Which could be a great venue for meeting new people. That's why I mostly focused on TTJ1. The other files weren't focused in liking team sports.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't worried about the part of getting dumber, since it is known that team sport players have a group mentality, which makes them more naive, and slower with irony and sarcasm. They can perform complex tasks and are intelligent in their own way.
