Quote:If you "don't believe in resistance" while resisting the execution of the majority of programs, what does that logically get you? A free pass to blame someone or something else for the lack of result? It's not you resisting because there's no such thing? Maybe if you accepted the idea of fear based resistance, it would lead to something that you're afraid of, like discovering how to execute? Logically, if I set in front of you a set of instructions and you refuse to execute them, you are resisting the execution of those subliminals.This is kinda weird.
YOU ARE RESISTING WHEN YOU REFUSE TO EXECUTE THE SCRIPT.
So, notwithstanding self delusion and/or self deception, resistance logically does exist, it is logically within plain view of all of us, and it is logically a response to fear (at some level) of the results of executing.
Your point of view on this can only come from irrational thinking and some degree of self deception. Self deception is a form of resistance that is used by the irrational subconscious to defend itself from a perceived threat. Deception being the reverse of truth, and there being a polarity here where a thing is either true or false, we can safely presume in response that the deception is an attempt to defend from the truth. And logically, the truth is, executing the script would achieve something that some deep and instinctual part of you believes is a threat to it's existence, and therefore something to be feared and resisted at any cost. Therefore, it must deceive your conscious mind into believing that "there is no such thing as resistance" because you can't change what you believe doesn't exist.
You're talking with the assumption that resistance does exist as you describe it but the thing is only you seem to know about it. I do not see any explanation. It's like saying that the sky is green because I said so and calling it a fact.
What you're calling a fact is hardly one. I mean, to anyone else this is more a hypothesis than a fact. Especially with something as abstract as the subconscious mind.
This is curious you're talking about being rational and stuff, but you can't call a fact something only you seem to know and understand with certainty. If I ask a resistance-believer on this forum to prove me resistance exists, nobody would be able to. But a fact is, quoted from the dictionary, a thing that is known or proved to be true. Is resistance proven? What are the proofs? Can you prove that some parts of the subC fear to the point of refusing suggestions and even do the opposite of what's instructed? How do you know it's reversal resistance and not just tiredness, or a mere coincidence? Can you even prove the subC has "parts"? Where are the empirical pieces of evidence? Let's not be dogmatic. Resistance is a hypothesis at best, a possible answer to the lack of results for some subs, yes, but not a fact.
I mean, you can't just invent a concept and call it a fact when asked for explanations.
I hope you see where I am coming from. I was more interested in what led you to that whole concept of resistance rather than if resistance (to the extent you believe in) exists or not. I wanted to understand you and your actions, as parts of the concern I shared. If my memories serve right, you plan to release a book someday on your work. So I think you should be able to explain to others what led to the actions you took and the beliefs about how the subconscious struggles with your products. So far one "proof" about resistance seems to be "Shannon said so, so it must be true".
If you're a rational person you should know this is not an acceptable answer.
Anyway, from your answer, I get that what lead you to this concept is the years and years on working with subliminal programs and wanting it to work for everybody. So I think a forum post would probably not be enough for you to explain what led you to that, and for me to understand you, so maybe we should leave it as that. But I still wanted to understand.
Soooo, about your approach, I think we'd just have to wait and see. I was concerned because results really dropped as soon as you went all-in against resistance but you seem to be so sure about that path. I tried to understand your line of thought but failed so I think all that's left for me to do is wait and see.
