Question about DMSI's Optimus Engine. How do you know that you are autopiloting? What is the best way to not get in your own way? Do you just " go with the flow " or analize the situation and what to do next?

In a nutshell how do you not get in your own way!

You don't consciously know you are autopiloting while it's happening. The phenomenon happens when your subconscious takes over and guides your actions according to its knowledge of what needs to be done to achieve the goal.

You only ever know it happened looking back. Analyzing the situation requires the conscious mind and is the reverse of what you want, that focuses you through your conscious mind.

You stop getting in your way by...

Letting go of your fears of not having conscious control. (It is, afterall, your own subconscious guiding you, not the program. )

Stop trying to observe what the program is doing.

Set it and forget it.

And it's not the Optimus Engine doing the autopiloting.
