So, I have proceeded through the first 6 levels, and I must admit I have been very pleased. I have experienced many positive results as promised ~ clearer thinking and wonderful levels of calmness throughout the day are the most noticeable. So, after finishing Level 6, I proceeded to make the leap and ordered Level 7. I just started it this week.

I have to say that from the start, my experience with Level 7 has been, well, disconcerting. Listening to it sounds like I am listening to a cd that is scratched and stuck with pulsating sounds, like a jerkiness. Just the opposite of the relaxing experiences I had with Levels 1 through 6. I find myself thinking maybe my cd player is malfunctioning, it is that, well, irritating. But I take off my headphones and take a look at my cd player, and all is playing correctly.

Just to let everyone know, I went through Levels 1 through 6 exactly according to direction. I listened religiously each week, 6 times a week, then took a day off. I gave a month to each level. I loved the results.

But Level 7 is a completely different animal. I find myself feeling very anxious and irritable after listening. Oh, and by the way, I am not listening to the 15-minute "pick me up" at the end, only Level 7. Don't think I could take any more "pick me up" than I am already getting, ha!

Anyway, I have already sent an email to Brain EV support, but wanted to post here as well to see if anyone had any thoughts. I have to say, that after such a wonderful experience with Levels 1 - 6, I am really disappointed with my experience thus far in Level 7. I have suspended listening to Level 7 after 4 sessions, the 4th session being just a couple of hours ago. Any thoughts, suggestions, or similar experiences ~ or any positive experiences! ~ with Level 7 are appreciated. Thanks all!

Jim had sent this same feedback in email but I thought it would be helpful for other people to read my response.  This also includes some of my own experiences with level 7:

The idea with level 7 is to take your entrainment to the next level and it sounds like it is doing just that!

From a personal standpoint I believe I know what noise you are talking about and it grates on my nerves.  My teeth would start to hurt after awhile.  After a few weeks the feeling passed.  Level 7 does try to take you out of your regular pattern to a level above where BrainEv left you.  There will be bumps along the way.

I don't believe (but I sent Jim some help to see if his CD really is damaged. just in case) that there is a problem with the CD.  As Karl says, the sounds are much more pronounced that it can be disconcerting.

It seems that people order level 7 expecting it to be a down-hill slope and instead find rough terrain.   Level 7 is designed to be challenging simple because the end of the Brain Evolution System is really not that challenging.  Level 6 is more like a "polisher" to put the finishing touches on the gains you have made in the previous 5 levels.  This is why we consider level 7 to be optional, since there aren't that many people that feel they want to take their entrainment to the next level, however for those people that are looking for that "next stage" level 7 can certainly take you there.

I completed the original program at the end of last year and went back through each level again, ending in May.  Since May I have used levels 6 and 7 as I feel, 5 days a week.  I remember the rough period that started when I began level 7 and I experienced many of the discouragements that I've heard people talk about.  It isn't an easy path.  I imagine it as a forge, its a hot and unpleasant place where I can put my mind to be bent, tempered and folded and it comes out better and stronger each time.

The "unpleasantness" did seem to pass after 3-4 weeks and now I can listen to it with no problem.  I do seem to have "off" days where I will listen and it will be unpleasant again but it only appears to be a day here and there and I attribute it to mental stress and poor sleep the night before. 

We do have many customers that have stuck it out and achieved great success with level 7 but it isn't for those that aren't prepared for the long-haul and a little personal introspection.

I would love to hear your experiences and have you post them on the forum if you would.  I think it would be great for people to see that if you put in the work, you will get the reward.  My problem is, if I post up my experiences and what I think, I am automatically "bias" and no one believes a word

As I said, maybe others will find this information helpful as well as they begin level 7.
