You not only have to bypass the conscious critical faculty, but you have to have the right emoional state and desire state. Achieving and maintaining those states is very difficult, especially in concert, for the vast majority of people. Subliminals are almost infinitely superior for that reason.
Couldn't agree more, I have reached that state many times and about half a year my main focus was only on being in that state. It is NOT easy at all, it might be simple with meditation, visualization, dumping all negative/critical thinking whether it goes against some of the core beliefs or not and BWE programs, but it is very challenging.
In the long term I don't even think it's healthy because you can suppress some stuff without knowing it and then it hits you one day and you don't know where that punch came from and can take years to recover from, but that's more on a personal note.
