N>Help with breakthrough

[tommmmmm]

Hi there, I'm new to I-Doser and stuff and I've decided to give it a shot. I've been scavenging the forums for quite some time as a "Guest" user.

So far I've tried A-Bomb, Peyote and Marihuana and I'm still trying to make a breakthrough.

Since I don't even know where to look for the root of the problem, I guess I'll just have to point everything out.

• 1. Headset

Sennheiser HD 595 + Pro-Ject Head Box II (headphone amplifier) + Tracker Pre (external audio card) + really decent cable to connect the two. Whole set costed a little under 2000 - I bet, I have the most over-kill headset system out of all members, so I doubt the problem lies here, but still it was worth to mention.

• 2. Doses usage

I'm using .drg doses in absolute silence and in absolute darkness, while laying down comfortably entire time, almost not moving at all, so I doubt the problem lies here, but still it was worth to mention.

• 3. Mindset

Some people call it placebo effect, but I'd go with 'auto-suggestion' - also, people look down on those 2 as something bad, but I beg to differ. I used to watch documentaries about monks (here and there) and I know with enough 'auto-suggestion' one can keep warmth in freezing temperatures, fall asleep while standing and other cool stuff the buddhist monks can do, so I doubt the problem lies here in mindset, but still it was worth to mention.

• 4. Meditation

I had a roommate once who taught me this excercise: Look at the clock and do not have a single thought in your mind, for example "Oh, it's been 30 seconds since I haven't had a though" - that's a thought and you have to start over. Very strict rules to that. I started as typical Joe with 20-30 seconds intervals and raised it to 3 minutes in course of couple weeks, so I doubt the problem lies here, but still it was worth to mention.

• 5. Preparations

I read about doses: Reset, Condition, Alpha, Beta and I read (on some private I-Doser forum in my native language) to try Reset -> Beta -> <your choice> combination. So far I haven't tried anything like that, so the problem may lie here.

• 6. Timing

I tried doing doses after waking up, in middle of the day and before going to bed, so I doubt the problem lies here, but still it was worth to mention.

• 7. Focus

I tried to focus on: breathing, white noise, the main sound, so I don't know what else to focus on.

• 8. Reason

I had quite a lot real life MJ experience while I was living in Holland and now that I'm back to my country I am looking for some recreational and smooth way to pick up on that.

I'm sorry to trouble you - the reader - with such a wall of text, but I hit "the wall" myself and am in need of your advice.

Thx in advance

Well, you seem pretty well informed on the subject that I really cannot suggest much. Keep doing what you are doing. But for number 7, I would suggest not focusing on anything at all, or counting down from a reall large number. For me, the latter works best. Keeping the mind "subconsciously busy" is a way to increase not only the power of suggestion, but also the mind's ability to adapt to a repeated or sustained frequency
