Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

So, Shannon, here is an idea. Instead of trying to find 101 more complex and cleaver ways to outsmart unconscious mind in script...how about just asking nicely and politely to execute the instructions? This comes just from everyday life...when somebody asks nicely to do something, I will probably have no problem doing it...but when somebody tries to use somekind of manipulative tactics to get me to do same thing I will have automatic repulsion towards doing it.

Well that's is such a good idea that I implemented that about... 5 years ago. I switched from brute force tactics to persuasion tactics. And it's working. That's why we are seeing the resistance rise as we get it more and more effective: it's becoming more and more likely that the goals will be achieved. There would be no reason for all the theatrics of trying not to execute if there were not a strong desire to execute.

But simply asking is a logical approach and we are not dealing with an entirely logical awareness here, which is why I am apparently going to have to cut off all escape routes before it works.

Or, if these two keys I think are the solution, turn out to actually be the solution, then we won't have to worry anymore.
