Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

@Shannon
One thing I am interested in and I hope it will be a part of the subliminals one day (maybe it already is):

As CatMan described his "story" I couldn't help but think "what if he somehow forgot about his past and just walks through the world without his past and burdens and thoughts from before". So somehow like a stone that fell on his had and let him forget about before, he still has all his talents and abilities. Pair that with a kind of confidence programming.

What could happen? He is no longer tied to his past and he just goes after the women he finds attractive and does not link every "fail" to his past, he does not take it personally, he might even think it is a game they want to play with him and he joins in.

But this was just meant as an example, you can exchange the persons and the goals here with nearly everything. There are people which past seems to be:
- I never was good with money, I never had money... (so the story continues in the future) and I never will have money
- I was never good with women, I never had women... (so the story continues in the future) and I never will have women
- I never was good with people, people don't like me... (so the story continues in the future) and I never will be good with people
- I never was a successful person, I never had success... (so the story continues in the future) and I never will have success

So if we, with the help of the subliminal, can make a break with the past story we can start a new story for the future that is independent from what happened.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work, as far as I have been able to determine.  That idea is not new to me.  I tried that in various different ways.  The subconscious is far too complex for the answer to be that simple, as far as I can tell.
