At least admit (to yourself) that you set the tone when you chose your subject line.
You learned from the holosync material that everyone has a threshold for the amount and strength of input from their environment that they can tolerate. Below this level, life happens smoothly. and above this level, there is a tendency for maladaptive responses like anger and depression. It isn't simply being above your threshold that directly causes the problem. Bill Harris said that all discomfort comes from resistance. The holosync program is designed to give you a push that keeps you near your threshold in a way that will be constructive, so that your threshold will increase, but the main lesson was directed at reducing or even eliminating the resistance to being over your threshold to prevent anger and depression and other problems. He called it "the watcher" and contrasted it with "reactive mind". Gaining the skill "the watcher" was supposed to come automatically from listening to holosync CDs, but from what I have observed, it doesn't seem to work that way unless you are doing it for yourself intentionally. The Sedona Method is a way of interacting with your thoughts and emotions that gives you the same skill that will show you how to work through resistance. The last thing you want to do is fight against resistance directly, because that just increases the problem. Once you are angry you can't just get angry about being angry, and you can't just tell yourself not to be angry. (Try your local library. You may be able to learn The Sedona Method without paying anything. If they don't have anything about it in their collection, they can use Inter-library Loan to get material that is not in their collection.)
Like holosync, BrainEv is also designed to push you, but in a different way. The purpose is to speed up your response to entrainment, so you do not need six minutes or however long they are saying now to respond and follow entrainment. The third level is supposed to irritate you, because that is where you have two different entrainments going at the same time in different directions and you have to choose which one to follow. You are supposed to choose the calmer, deeper level, but at the same time you also feel the other entrainment constantly pulling at you. It isn't something that you need to fight. You just have to keep choosing to follow the deeper level. Of course, I am not suggesting that you do this now. Actually, I wouldn't suggest going back to holosync, either, yet. The Sedona Method would be helpful, but there are other tools you can use to learn to work with resistance.
The most important thing is that you have to very clearly decide what it is you want to do. Yes, this is a BrainEv forum, but you will also find a great many holosync people here. I have finished Flowering Level 4 and my threshold continues to increase on momentum as Bill Harris promised. The first time I tried BrainEv I also found myself becoming irritated with that third level, and I quit, too. I forgot that it was the third level where they deliberately try to pull you in two directions at once. This helps you to learn to concentrate on what you are doing while not responding to distractions from your environment. I thought that was going to be in level four. As you can tell, I didn't read the directions very well because I finished holosync and I just assumed that some six month program called BrainEv couldn't compare. Now I am starting again with level 1. I have reduced the amount of stress in my life and I feel better prepared this time both from reading the directions and listening to people here talk about their experiences. Also, I know what it is I want to get from completing the program this time. If you choose to let us know what is going on with you, we can tell you considerably more than "hang in there". The problem is that you have to know what it is you want and you have to tell us. We will probably ask uncomfortable questions. If you don't want to answer them, just say so. This is for your benefit, not ours.
