6 Stage Sets

[Shannon]

Ah so its like a computer. You have several programs running but the only one present on your screen is the one your working on/using. But the other programs are still running but only in the background(like antivirus, firewall, OS transactions etc...) So when finally you want to use another program, you just have to switch windows(in this case you would be using periodic refreshers)?

In some ways it is like a computer. The literalism, for instance. Willingness to run programming that is actually detrimental, because that is literally what it was told to do by its internal self-programming routines. (Sorting piles and building programming out of the biggest piles).

However, the subconscious is much more capable than a computer in many ways. It runs only one program, as far as I can tell, but that program is very modular. When a new concept becomes dominant, it unplugs the old and plugs in the new. It's about like an operating system which has subroutines for everything, but there are not necessarily "user land programs" like a typical computer of today would have. The subconscious is the OS and the abstraction layers, and the conscious is the "userland" which is influenced and affected by the OS and abstraction layers, without necessarily seeing, being aware of or understanding them.

Periodic refreshers are a maintenance mode for keeping the particular module you want running "plugged in". To make it permanent, or close to permanent, you have to make it hugely dominant programming (lots more than whatever is around it). Even then, it may not become permanent, because other parts of the core OS and even the computer itself (physical body/brain/physiology/chemistry) may be asserting pressure to defy that programming.

It's complicated.
