Tiesto's Absolute Self Confidence 4G Progress Report

[Shannon]

you're probably going to have to remove whatever block you have before you'll get results.

Thanks Shannon, I'll follow your recommendation.

By the way how do I identify what kind of blockage I'm having? How do I remove it?

That will depend on how resistant you are and to what, specifically. I would suggest a competent, experienced hypnotherapist, first, and some other sort of psychological counselling if that does not work.

Also I just remembered something, when I sleep, I tend to sleep on my side, so one of my ear is usually resting against a pillow, reducing hearing on that particular ear, would this create problems in regards to the stereo effect of the sub? (Maybe this is not a problem since I'm still getting vivid dreams, but maybe this could actually be one of the cause slowing down my acceptance to the suggestion?)

That will have some small effect, but not enough to affect your results like you describe.

Sorry if I keep asking question, I'm trying to pinpoint and understand all the potential problems causing the slow response time I'm having to this sub.

It's not a problem. An educated customer is a good customer.

P.S. I noticed I've also becoming kind of depressed. I've stop smoking for a few months, now I feel like smoking again.. Of course I'm not going to give in to the temptation, but it is pretty weird, since I pretty much lost the cravings to cigarette already, and now it's coming back along with feeling of depression... Probably cause by the subconcious trying to fight back the new programming?

The depression is a common response to resistance that is slowly but surely being overcome. The other day I started testing an experimental subliminal build method that I think may be able to quickly overcome resistance, and I built a program that I knew would cause me to resist it. The first day after listening, when I was confronted with having to do what the subliminal was trying to get me to do, I fell into a serious depression... not emotional pain, but hopelessness based, and it killed all my motivation to work.

I had a dream that night that explained to me consciously why my subconscious was upset... which I acknowledged, and then I continued using the new subliminal. Since then, I have not been nearly as depressed, although it is slightly easier to feel depressed about certain other unrelated things I have been waiting almost 2 years to see change in (my love life, mainly, which I know is not going to change until late in 2012 at the earliest, and this inability to change this or do anything about it but wait is what's got me feeling hopeless).

I also have had zero motivation to work since starting this program, which I know is also a resistance response for me. I have to consciously drag myself into doing anything at all... but the important point is that the depression, and the anxiety that are making you want to smoke, are signs that two things are true.

1. The subliminal is not only having an effect, but your subconscious is slowly losing ground in resisting, and it knows that eventually it will be overwhelmed by the program - which I believe is why you feel depressed: your subconscious is being forced to face something it fears, and realizes that unless the exposure stops, resistance is ultimately hopeless, and so it feels hopeless. That is, at least, my best interpretation of the situation.

2. The anxiety causing you to want to smoke suggests that your resistance is based in fear of loss of self control. Which suggests that you are not the blindly stubborn type, but someone who has suffered a frightening situation in the past which was caused by - or seen by you as being caused by - a loss of control, or control of yourself. This is actually good, because the blind resistance type is almost impossible to deal with except VERY slowly and subtlely, or through some other form of approach.

If this response is being caused by a subliminal to increase your self confidence, that in itself suggests that if you did experience a loss of self control which is the reason for the resistance, you subconsciously perceive self confidence as either directly or indirectly leading to another such situation or perceived threat. Very interesting. Perhaps you should try a different subliminal, and see if you still have the resistance?
