Quote:BUT it is a matter of strategy of communicating with SubC
Agree on this one. I think it's more a matter of communication than resistance. Or resistance is confused with the subconscious not understanding the user's will and what he wants.
The thing I find the most odd about that whole resistance theory is the claim that the subconscious chooses to sabotage the user and do whatever it can to stop the use of the subliminal.
Since when the subconscious has the power of decision ?
The subconscious mind has always been described as the engine that power the ship or the ship itself, not knowing where to go and only fulfilling the sole purpose of following where the captain of the ship wants to go. Whatever is impressed in the subconscious mind is expressed, because it can't argue back.
Now according to the theory of resistance, the subconscious has a will of its own, as well as the power to chose and decide for the conscious mind - by choosing NOT to listen to the captain and going where he wants to go, and even worse, by choosing to DO the opposite of what the captain wants. ("reversal resistance")
That's a contradiction from what we have knewn on the subconscious mind. That's why I'm believing less and less in resistance. And more contradictory, IF the subconscious mind can chose to ignore the captain, then trying to do something consciously is meaningless, because of that external entity (subconscious mind) which is NOT part of your will, and has a will on its own.
So it doesn't make sense.
Which one it is ? Is the power of decision solely in the hands of the conscious mind or not ? If the subconscious CAN decide and act regardless of the user's will, then that explains resistance. But that also destroy all these "take responsibility" speeches, because the user can't take responsibility for another member of the ship he can't control.
So ?? Which one is true ?
To me what makes more sense, is what have always knewn - the subconscious mind following orders and leads, not capable of deciding anything. With that basis then, subliminal programs not working can only logically be explained by:
-Subconscious mind not receiving properly the orders of the conscious mind (communication problem)
-Subconscious mind receiving the orders but not understanding a damn what is asked (communication problem)
-Subconscious mind receiving orders, understanding them partially, but carrying out different tasks, accordingly to what it understands (lack of practical materials and references)
-Subconscious mind 100% understanding the task but unable to carry it out because of lack of means and ways.
-Subconscious mind 100% understanding the task but unable to carry it out because it's not powerful enough. (which I doubt)
Which left out resistance.
