POWER of the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

Archive for the ‘Attractor Genie’ Category

Firstly I am very happy with Attractor Genie but was not overly impressed with their support response.  They tried to help but just did not seem to understand my questions.

I had three questions and created a separate ticket for each.

Question 1 : Application Bug (very minor) – Reminder function display
Question 2 : New Functionality request – add additional questions to Daily Journal
Question 3 : Windows Support – Subliminal application and dual monitor extended desktop

If you read the descriptions below you will see that these are all very minor concerns and when I think about it  THIS IS ALL I HAVE FOUND after using the application for a month then I have to conclude that Attractor Genie is VERY GOOD.   I find more issues with most of the “big name” applications where they have hundreds of developers.

Question 1 : Application Bug (very minor) – Reminder function display

I reported what is a real bug with the Reminder function.  If you create a reminder with multiple lines that extend down below the default displayed onscreen you cannot scroll to read them despite there being a scroll bar.  It is disabled and “greyed out”.    The reminder function does not support hyper links so you cannot have a link to open the fully txt from another source.  You also cannot click to open the original reminder to view in full.

Now if the Reminder function only allowed you to input the same number of lines it displays I would have just accepted this as a limitation but because it allows you to enter more that it displays it can be considered a bug. 

The response from support was to send me this asking if mine worked the same.

I’ve just setup a reminder on my PC

Yes it would work that way on mine also but had they tested it with more than 4 lines they might have noticed the problem also.  I have created the same test with 10 lines to demonstrate and only 7 are displayed.

 
The scroll bar to the right does not work

Question 2 : New Functionality request – add additional questions to Daily Journal

In the daily journal there is a questions tab.   There you will find about 40 categories of questions with each category containing a number of pre-written questions designed to prompt you to think further about topics you are concerned about.  I think this is a great resource that I will write more about later.

My question to support was can I add my own questions.   My reason for wanted to do so is that I am current doing another online course that provides me with daily questions and I thought it would be great to use Attractor Genie rather than print off the question sheet and physically write the answers as they course suggests. 

I also asked about the data structure of Attractor Genie thinking I might be able to edit the files and insert my own question category.

This is not a bug with the Attractor Genie application but rather a request for a new functionality in future updates. 

Question 3 : Windows Support – Subliminal application and dual monitor extended desktop

I asked about the subliminal application and support for dual monitor extended desk top configurations explaining that it only seemed to work on the primary monitor (1) and I wanted the subliminal messages to display on the second monitor (2).  The response was to show me what the working subliminal screen should look like and some irrelevant suggestions. 

Subliminal
This is how it would like:

If you don’t see all parts of the Subliminal Generator It means
that you are not using “a native resolution” on your PC  Screen.

Please change the screen resolution(set it to 1024×768) and see
If anything changes.

Yes this is what it looked like for me but had nothing to do with my question.  

I would have accepted a response that they did not support dual monitor extended desk top configuration.   I have since resolved this problem and It turns out that it is a Windows function and nothing at all to do with Attractor Genie.

I am running vista on a notebook with a second monitor attached and using the extended screen option.   To set this up you right click the desktop and select “Personalize” and then “Display Settings”.  It does not give you the option there to change the primary monitor.

When I run the subliminal application from Attractor genie it only displays on the first monitor (the smaller notebook screen) which is not the primary one I use.   Therefore it was not much use to me as at the very best I would only pick it up in my peripheral vision.

In what can only now be called serendipity my display went crazy for no apparent reason with my display rotated.  I had no idea what was happening but it forced me to delve deeper into the options. 

I actually found that for some reason my screen rotation had changed under “Graphics Options” “Rotation”   You get there by a Right Click on the desktop and not via “Personalize” where I had been looking.  I fixed the rotation but also noticed “Graphics Properties” and what do you know…It gives you the option to specify the primary monitor.    

Not only has this fixed my Attractor Genie subliminal application (have it running now – works perfectly) but it has also fixed some other minor irritations with the dual screen extended monitor configuration.  It’s wonderful now.   The only thing is that I had to physically rearrange my desk as the notebook now needs to sit off to my right.  

I suppose all of this would not make any sense to anyone that has not seen the extended desktop working.

While assisting people wanting to run the subliminal application with dual monitor configurations is probably beyond the scope of Attractor Genie support I invite them to take this information and add it to their knowledge base as it might assist other attractor genie users in the future.

The Attractor Genie Videos

These are instructional videos to get you started and I do recommend them.  They do sound a little amateurish in production (they are really just a voice over with a guy giving a demo on how to use Attractor Genie) but do give you the information you really need to get started.   They often refer you to the manual for more detailed information.

The Attractor Genie Manual

Now I have to say that their manual is particularly good to help you get started.   Many applications I have purchased in the past include a manual that does not really tell you anything.  I will give the Attractor Genie top marks for the manual and recommend anyone who gets Attractor Genie to read it. 

The Attractor Genie Support

My first experiences with contacting support have been a little disappointing. It’s not that support was rude or initially failed to respond.  They did get back to me within the specified time period with responses to my questions.   What is disappointing is that while they tried to help they did seem to really understand my questions.  See my next post My support Questions to Attractor Genie

 Conclusion

It’s a great application which I continue to use on a daily basis. 

The documentation and tutorials are comprehensive and easy to follow.  The support response was timely and friendly and probably great for people that need help on how use the program but not as technical as I needed.  I am sure that if ever I encountered a more serious problem it would be referred to a more technical resource so I am not at all concerned.

I highly recommend the Attractor Genie Application to Anyone

The idea of a vision board has been around for a long time.  You may not refer to it as such and it does not need to be a specific thing.  It could be an office or bedroom wall.   The images might be scrapbook-type cut outs or beautifully framed artwork.   

It is simply any place where you put images of something you desire in a place where you will regularly see it so you can remain motivated towards it.  

This concept is used by most people in one way or another.  Even those who would reject the idea of the Law of Attraction see at least the motivational power in images.   The images could be of something you want, a goal you want to achieve or someone you aspire to emulate. 

A mind movie is an electronic version of a vision board but multi-media rich including sounds and visual effects.   Mind movies were pioneered by Ryan Higgins who created it as a visualization tool to assist with the law of Attraction.  He promotes them as a way to make The Sectret and the law of attraction work for those that have not been able to get results.

I actually purchased his Mind Movie package last year and proceeded to make a mind movie but came to a grinding halt when it came to select the images and captions.   Soon after that other events in my life took over and it was forgotten and remained uncompleted ever since. 

I recently purchased the Attractor Genie program with a suite of tools including Attractor Movie which is the same concept as a mind movie.   So I know have two tools to create mind movies but still have yet to produce any.

I have been using the Attractor Genie program now for more than a month and suddenly I realized why I was not able to complete my original mind movie.

I have previously spoken about the home page of the Attractor Genie program and how it has four areas; My vision, My Purpose, My values and My Identity.   I talked about how valuable it has been to start thinking about those areas of my life and initially putting down a few ideas, then returning to them to refine them until they really took shape.   

I was looking at these four areas a few days ago as you do whenever you open the Attractor Genie program (probably why they are on the home page) and the thought suddenly occurred to me that there is the script to my mind movie. 

This was the blockage to my creating a Mind movie in the past.   I really did not have the right script. Sure I had put together some ideas but they really were not expressing the message I wanted.  So when it came time to select the images and text it was a struggle. 

Everyone is different and there are thousands of people who purchased the Mind Movies package and were immediately able to produce their Mind Movie.   I needed to think about what I really wanted and valued first before I was ready to start.  

As I have not yet produced a mind movie I cannot give an opinion on the Ryan Higgins Mind Movie package vs. the included Attractor Movie version.   As I own both I will try both when the time comes and write a review here.

What I can say now with certainty is that the Attractor Genie program is worth having regardless of how good I later determine is mind movie component to be.   The Ryan Higgins Mind Movie package will have to be significantly better for me to recommend to anyone they buy it in addition to the Attractor Genie program.

If like me you already own the Ryan Higgins Mind Movie package and are struggling creatively to make your first movie then get Attractor Genie and forget about making any type of mind movie until you have worked through the four areas I spoke about.

The Attractor Genie is now part of my daily routine.  

I find it great planning tool that enables me to better focus on what I want to achieve in all aspects of my life.  In particular I am using it to get my mind clear about my vision, purpose, values and identity which will enable me to set better goals and take full control of my life. 

The fact is most people do not take control of their lives.  Most people do not accept responsibility for what happens to them believing they are subject to luck, fate or a sequence of random event they have no power over.  Thus they stay in a reactive mode responding to situations and circumstances as they occur.

Every successful person without exception, regardless of the field of accomplishment, has been proactive in taking charge of their life.  They have a vision of their future and purpose.  They know who they are and what is important.  They may not have all of this for every aspect of their lives but they will have for the area they are successful in.

Even if you do not believe in the Law of Attraction I believe you will still find the Attractor Genie software a useful tool for getting focussed and increasing your own productivity.  

When you open Attractor Genie the home screen has four tabs for My Vision, My Purpose, My Values and My Identity. 

Writing these is not easy.  If you find it so then you are way ahead of most other people.  Most of us have never really sat down and thought about these things. 

I have found that it best to just jot down some ideas and keep returning to it when you feel inspired or motivated.  Slowly your Vision, Purpose, Values and Identity will start to take shape and you will start to feel more clarity in your mind.  Consult the Attractor Genie manual as it has helpful examples.

Your Vision, Purpose, Values and Identity are not set in concrete.  While one would not expect these things to fundamentally change they can always be reviewed, refined, added to or otherwise improved.

I have finished the tutorials for Attractor Genie and have started to setup my first project.  It’s really looking good. 

I also have subliminal messages happening on one of my screens.  It is meant to be happening on the main screen that I work on but the software does not seem to be aware of a dual screen configuration and is working on the screen off to my left.  I have about five messages happening selected from the huge database of readymade affirmations that come with Attractor Genie.

There is also a daily journal and I have started to use that too.  It is made up of a gratitude Journal, Success proof, New Ideas and comments.  It is good to consult the Attractor Genie manual as it gives examples on how these should be used.

There is also a questions tab with a large number of prepared questions designed to get you thinking and help you focus.  When you select and answer one of these questions it is also recorded against that particular day in the journal.  I chose two questions and one of them actually prompted me to write myself a note in the comments area.

I have made a start in all sections of the journal.   I like the structured design of the Attractor Genie journal that prompts you to address the different aspects I listed above as opposed to a journal that presents you with a single black page.

I have been listening to The Secret and some other material on the Law Of Attraction and the message is loud and clear.  I need to write down what I want.

I would think that most people can easily come up with a shopping list for the universe.  When I ponder what might be my shopping list I struggle.   It is not that I am so contented with what I have as there are many things I currently would like.

I think that maybe I have been just too unsettled up until now to decide what I want.  The turmoil of the previous year has made many of my previous plans and goals either redundant or no longer important.

I feel I am now closer to being able to formulate a plan and shopping list.  This morning I decided it was time to start and thought about the best way to write them. 

I am not into pen and paper.  For me it has to be onscreen and stored away from prying eyes.   Therefore I would need to put it into some sort of document.

I wondered if there were any applications out there to facilitate writing down your plans, goals, shopping lists and things like affirmations.   I found some free and shareware applications but when I examined them they were nothing more than glorified notepads. 

I then found the Attractor Genie and it promised to be everything I was looking for and much more.   I read the blurb and then continued my search but after spending a few hours on the net looking around at different things there was nothing else that even came close to the Attractor Genie in terms of promised functionality. 

I then checked the price on the sales page and saw that it was $97 through CLICKBANK.  This is a little expensive in my opinion but immediately below was a second purchase option to Test Drive Attractor Genie Software for 7 days for only $5.00 after which the remaining $92 would be billed if I did nothing (did not cancel).  

This appealed to me as it seemed to reduce the risk.  In reality it would make little difference if it was $97 or $5 being refunded.   I know that if I was not satisfied with the product I would have recourse both through my credit card and CLICKBANK who I know to be a reputable company.   

I went off for lunch and to attend to some other things and a couple of hours later I returned to my computer with the intention to purchase using the $5 option and did so.

As they promised access was immediate.  The download and installation instructions were easy to follow and took me step-by-step.  I now had the application installed on my system and when I started it there seemed to be a lot too it.

The step-by-step instructions recommended watching the online video tutorials.  I decided to have a look before attempting to use the applications.  

I am currently up to video tutorial number 12 of 14 and I must say I am extremely impressed at what this application seems to do.  The functionality is everything  I wanted and much more.   I am actually excited to start working with the software.

The video tutorials seem to cover all the functionality and would be enough for anyone to start using the application.  Within the video tutorials they make continual references to there being more information and help in the Attractor-Genie manual which I have download but have yet to open. 

At this stage I feel I will allow the remaining $92 to be billed but I still have 6 days to work with Attractor Genie and make my decision.  If it even provides half of what it seems to provide then it’s worth it.  

Unless something else more interesting comes up I think the next few posts here will be about Attractor Genie and my experience working with it.
