CatMan --
Again, I hope this doesn't come across as an attack because it's not meant to be.
Can't speak for Shannon, but the way I interpreted his suggestion of conscious resistance is your very stubborn tendency to even consider that you might be wrong about body language, IOIs and auras.
Earlier, you said: "I know you don't like people that don't openly accept things without proof, regardless of how fantastical they come across as to them."
That's not true. What I don't like is people who refuse to explore and find the proof for themselves, while claiming they "can't see" how something will work. My counter is always: Well, if you'd go out and research this for yourself, you could.
What harm will come to you by studying up on body language and using it in your day-to-day interactions -- even the ones that have nothing to do with sex? What harm will come to you by studying conscious energy manipulation and willful aura generation? OR, testing DMSI with a woman you DON'T already know?
The answer is: Nothing. At worst, it'd confirm your claims that they don't exist. At best, you'd get a keen understanding of what's going on under the hood, which would help you work with the sub than against it.
However, your constant refusal to even consider and/or try anything other than just running the sub, all while claiming that you "don't believe in [x]" or "can't see how [x] works" constitutes a conscious decision to remain in the dark. And that, I believe, is why he's saying you're consciously resisting.
