Does this mean that the subconcious can be worn down by repeatedly saying, x is real?
The reason i ask i take to sub instruction well but not to affirmations.
I always feel affirmations are pointless because i can never trick myself into believing it.
Fascinating discussion we have here gents
One of the reasons that subliminals work so well is the fact that it bypasses the conscious mind, accesses and modifies the subconscious (the source code) directly. When you use mirror affirmations or spoken affirmations, the conscious-critical mind (which also serves as a gatekeeper to the subconscious) has a chance to intervene and contradict the affirmation.
For an example, let's assume that you want to work on body image. If you say, "I am sexy," your conscious mind will spit back, "no, you're not." And you'll resist the affirmation. One little trick, however, is to state the affirmation as a question. Say, "Why am I so sexy?" or "How did I get to be so sexy?" The conscious mind (most likely) won't outright reject it, because it processes questions differently than outright statements. It'll seek to find an answer or answers to the question and you'll receive something along the lines of: "I'm not sexy now, but I could be if I do..."
These subliminals however, bypasses all that crap. With traditional affirmations, before you can beatdown the subconscious, you have to first get the conscious mind to cooperate by forcing it into a state of trance. There's a competing (to aura of sexiness) mirror affirmations program that requires you to say the affirmations for like two hours while staring in the mirror. TWO HOURS, for a super short term boost. I've never used that program, but I'd be willing to bet that the first hour is spent trying to force your conscious mind into generating alpha brain waves (where it's relaxed and a bit more suggestible) before you even get a chance to influence the subconscious.
2 loops of AOSI v1 had me projecting the aura for 5 days afterward.
