I still don’t understand. Does the impulse come from the subconscious to act as a synergy, or should we act first without waiting for the subconscious to act?

If there is no impulse from subcoscious, do the latter but take action. You can’t go wrong with taking action.

Both. You can act based on your concious knowledge (from learning about your goals and how to achieve them) and based on your subconcious impulses programmed from the past and the subliminal programming.

Many subliminals even come with the recommendation to take action to prevent recon.
Like going out on WB, or making statements about selflove every morning on LB.
So I’d say subs will work either way, but action always helps to make the process faster and smoother.

The subliminal input reinforces the output of every action you take that is targeted by the sub you’re listening to. Every action you take that is targeted by the sub reinforces the subliminal input by making you more aligned with it, therefore, making it more effective.
No, there are objectives where taking action is essential, without it the sub “won’t work”, meaning, there will be little to no progress there.
Taking action is the most essential prerequisite to any substantial growth. If you don’t embrace it, you can listen to Khan for three years and all you can brag about is your “mindset like only few men have”, but no real Khan’s life. I’ve seen it here multiple times, and the Khan example stuck to my mind the most. Yes, it’s a real life example found here, on the forums.

You’ll sometimes get the impetus from within to take a novel action you’d never have considered before.
But ultimately, sometimes you already KNOW what you need to do.
Like, if one one wants to lose body fat, drinking calories in liquid form (sugars/carbs mainly) will hinder that. So we KNOW to limit/avoid those.
I think it goes back to that thing we find in success literature about there always being a price to pay for reaching your goals.
Taking action is a damn good way to tell the SubC/“Universe” that you’re serious about the goal you’ve set for yourself.

There’s a slight mischaracterization in this question.
The idea of ‘waiting’ for ‘the subconscious’ to act is a bit off.
Part 1: Thresholds
I think we need to add in the concept of ‘Thresholds’.
Imagine that you are living, like most people, on land. Moreover, you almost never dive into seas, oceans, and lakes. They are beautiful to you, but 1) you are not an avid swimmer, and 2) you feel that there may be perils or risks in the water that you’d rather not encounter.
So, for you, the surface of a body of water represents a Threshold. If something is above the surface, then it is ‘above the threshold’, and you have the chance to see it. If something is beneath the surface, then it is ‘below the threshold’, and you will not observe it directly.
Naturally, as a result of the above, you have a tendency to divide the world into ‘The Above-Surface World’ (or the Super-Surface World) and ‘The Sub-Surface World’. This is just a convenient way for you to talk about things in air and land, versus things under water.
Based on your lifestyle, it’s a reasonable and useful way to divide up the world, because when things are underwater, you will tend not to be aware of them (since you don’t like to go down there).
Nonetheless, having a healthy intelligence and imagination, even though you are not observing it directly, you can and do recognize that many things are occurring in that aquatic Sub-Surface domain. And some things can even move between the domains.
One main point of the above example is that even though the Threshold is ‘real’, the decision of where to place the Threshold is subjective and is based on your own boundaries, limits, and perceptions.
In our example, because you are completely living on land and in air, the border or threshold for your direct perception of things is literally the exact surface of the water.
But for this person:
The threshold will be different.
Due to their willingness to go beneath the surface of the water, scuba divers extend and deepen the threshold of experiencing. The world beneath the physical surface will be somewhat more accessible to them than to the average land-dweller, but make no mistake, there are still limits and thresholds for them.
The most masterful among those divers may get down deeper than 40 meters under the surface of the water.
Very impressive.
But just for context, check this out:
In short, our deepest scuba divers are not even venturing 1 percent into that world. Their Threshold is about 40 to 60 meters deep, but the remaining 10,940 meters is still “Sub-Threshold”.
For a whale, in contrast, the truly sub-threshold aquatic world, may range from 3000 meters down to 11000. For them, that part of the ocean will still be ‘mysterious’ and ‘inaccessible’.
All of this is a metaphor for what we are calling the ‘Sub-Conscious’ mind.
Our labels of ‘conscious’, ‘subconscious’, and ‘unconscious’ minds are ‘real’, but they are also quite subjective. The places where we draw the lines of threshold between these domains are based on our individual limits, boundaries, and characteristics, and habits. They are not somehow intrinsic to the domains themselves.

Part 2: Tracking
So, what’s the point of all of that?
It all becomes very practical when we think about the notion of Tracking.
Tracking a wave, an animal, an object as it moves through different depths and altitudes of the ocean and the air.
Tracking an impulse, an intention, a perception as it moves through the different depths and altitudes of mind and consciousness.
A diver can track a fish, a whale, or a chest of sunken treasure farther and more accurately than I can. The process is less mysterious to the diver. They can actually go into the water and physically follow or seek the object in question.
So, for the diver, the process of reclaiming a sunken chest, catching a fish, or making contact with a whale will be different: less mysterious. (Still mysterious! But less mysterious.)
When I see a fish jump above the surface, and then dive away, for me, ‘The fish is gone’.
A diver, on the other hand, may say, ‘No, it’s not gone. It’s right here. See?’
You wrote:
The ‘impulses’ that you’re asking about in your original question, are like the fish in the metaphor.
In other words:
When you don’t see them, they are still here.
They are still alive, moving, and influencing.
Subthreshold impulses, perceptions, beliefs, emotions are constantly active within you all day, every day. They make up most of your experience. They influence you. They guide you.
You just don’t notice them.
It’s a bit tricky to track them.
Long story short:
When you made a decision to take action ‘without waiting for the subconscious act’?
That was a subconscious action.
You just didn’t realize it.
