I know you're allowing the 50% discount for 2011 (for 2010 owners), but as far as Alpha 2012 are you going to allow the 25% discount for 2010 owners? I have my eye on 2012 because it would be nice not to lose any of the social effects from SM.

Its possible that it could be resistance, but if not, there were points during the stages where I had nomotivation to socialize with anyone new. Might be a side effect of the reduction in neediness. Dont get me wrong, when I do socialize, I feel confident and very at ease thanks to AM2011.

Also, if the new version of alpha male is going to be stripped down, may I suggest that this be the initial AM for the newby and that an advanced AM be developed for those who have been through alpha male already and wants a refresher plus new elements. I would say the advanced version would be AM2011 plus additional features including an enhanced sociability aspect.

My suggestion would have only two variants of alpha male. The stripped down version for the beginner so they get the core worked on without the other distractions. Then the advanced version for those of us who have already been through alpha male but we stay enticed by the extra features of the advanced version. I do plan on repeating alpha male sometime in the future after SM2011, but if the only thing available is the stripped down version, I would stay with what I bought AM2011. This would be fine with me, but it would be enticing if I saw an advanced alpha male with more features. Its similar business model as the iphones. All a suggestion and I am in no hurry to see an upgrade so soon since I wouldnt do a repeat of alpha male until after I do other programs which will likely take me to 7 or 8 months down the road.

Also I am not sure if you meant this aswell but not having a manifestation of beautiful women would really benifit the people that are in relationships and married, whilst still getting the core alpha down. I know you will make a thread at some in the future for the suggestions, but I just wanted to say this while it is fresh on my mind at 4am before I go to work.

There's a lot about decisiveness already present. Please explain the difference.

I'm pretty sure that what I feel is anxiety. The two kind of go hand in hand, so it's hard to tell for sure. However, I played the masked subliminal version and I had the same anxious nausea type feeling. So at this point I can't tell if my mind is just playing tricks on me or what.

Is it resistance to the subliminal? I was thinking it was more fear of change. The thing about this is I think on my first run through of Alpha I lowered the volume too much to get rid of the anxious feeling thinking it was just the ultrasonic frequency itself. I think this was a sneaky attempt by my mind to avoid exposure to the subliminal. I feel like I did benefit from alpha, but I might have hindered myself by making the volume too low accidentally.

I re-calibrated the volume last night and made sure I didn't lower it. This morning I felt different waking up. I'm not sure if this is just all the programming catching up from the past couple of weeks, or if the volume adjustment really improved the effectiveness.

I'm not going to lie, I do feel uncomfortable when listening to it. I might just tough it out and ignore it. I'd rather do that then lower it again and compromise my results. I'm fairly convinced it's all psychological and it is not the ultrasonic being played too loud. It's at a comfortable level when I calibrate it with the masked, enough where I can hear it through my whole room.

I know you said somewhere in the forum that the sub is more effective when it is louder or something like that. Is there any reason for this? Or is it similar to how in a room of crowded people the loudest person is heard above all the rest. If our minds are chattering away then I'd think we would need a strong powerful and audible stimulus in order to overpower those thoughts that shape our beliefs.
