This is put in highly “alchemical” terms indeed. But yes, it’s mainly about employing the scripting to have your mind hyper-focused on certain characteristics and natural abilities of yours, which are targeted by the scripting, and reducing “all the irrelevant noise” as much as possible for the “saturation period” (when the mind gets saturated with the scripting via its exposure to it).
When that period ends, the mind gets more “freedom” to operate on its own, processing the scripting and reconciling those elements it’s ready to integrate, following the “focus trajectory” set up during the saturation period.
I assume that an optimal approach would be getting the mind saturated only when it’s started losing that focus trajectory and that focus trajectory needs to get reinforced.
There’s lots of self-introspection and retrospection involved that is the basis of Self-Identification. It’s an ongoing process. That Self-Identification is not only about identifying your real characteristics and natural abilities but getting closer to your “Real Essence” both cognitively, by expanding your self-awareness/the awareness of your Real Essence, and psychologically, by acknowledging, accepting and embracing your Real Essence on the deeper levels.
Self-Expression is based on Self-Identification but requires removing certain internal blockages that hinder its “flow”. Blockages that suppress expressing your Real Essence, that suppress the display of your real characteristics and the employment of your natural abilities.
All of that (Self-Identification and Self-Expression) is the reason I will never agree to the statement that subs try to mold you or promote your growth in accordance with archetypes. If it’s the case, however, it doesn’t work for me as I clearly see that my Self-Identification and Self-Expression, and therefore, Self-Alignment, are different from what other people report on Emperor and WB. The reason is I’m unique, like all of us are.
