Can you explain conscious guidance a bit please?
Why not just say " visualizing "? Seems like an unnecessary complication
It’s more about training the RAS what to notice and reinforce. Just knowing what you want out of running a title
Because visualization is not the same as conscious guidance.
OK. I was wrong
Good. I’m doing that.
Thanks for finding quote.
What I meant to ask was topics aside which one has more voice modulation scripting.
Or does another sub have even more
It’s making specific choices about what you want. It’s orienting yourself towards those choices.
You use conscious guidance all the time. You go to the supermarket. 100 people in there and you’ve gone there before hundreds or thousands of times. Yet each time you leave you may have purchased slightly different items. Different from what the other 100 people purchased; different from what you purchased before.
You find nothing strange about that. You just made a choice and then followed through with it.
Personally, I think what you’re actually asking is ‘how does conscious guidance work?’; not ‘What is it?’
Get clear and get specific about what you desire and what you value.
Make your shopping list.
Or don’t. The same process will happen organically. It will just take longer. Like going to the store without a list.
“Visualize”
“Think”
“Intend”
“Clarify”
“Choose”
Use whatever word you like.
But this does not have to be some strange, mysterious, or arcane technique for you to agonize over.
You’ve literally used it many times each day in your life.
The only difference is that now you’ll be recognizing its power. (If you wish.)
The power of your Choice.
More intentional awareness?
More intentional awareness
(you’re right, of course. I just want to keep it simple.)
Vocalizing that intent always adds power, by giving it expression?
Well said. I’ve wanted an upgraded pure social sub for a while now. Something that could attach at all levels of social skill.
For example:
No matter which title I run, I keep taking action towards building my business.
Emperor has plenty of romance scripting, I do get some of those results. (Wife related)
But the main results I get are business related.
I’m not running around seducing women.
Sooo I just started with dd/ps because I like dd and am interested in reality bubbles from ps. Tonight I will be at a concert, so we will see.
Yes, I would think that stating your intention with a sub can only help manifest your conscious intent, by giving voice to it. Helping yourself to align with it. Not the only way, of course.
You’ve got to use the way that is natural and right to you.
Reverse engineer it from observing your own life.
What do you do when you’re serious about something?
How do you talk about it?
How do you think about it?
How do you NOT talk about it?
Look at what you’ve already done, then apply it in new directions.
This is also part of what is meant by ‘alchemy’. Doesn’t have to be namby-pamby, martial arts movies, with bald, chanting, glowing people. (and yes, I’m just about almost a bald, chanting, glowing person. So no disrespect intended.)
It’s taking the things that are your natural characteristics, and rather than expressing them in unregulated, harmful, dysfunctional, or disorganized ways, instead harnessing them to take you in chosen directions.
The people who first started taking pieces of cloth and hanging them on their boats so that instead of driving them in circles the wind was pushing them closer to their destinations? Those were alchemists.
Or a dude who’s an adrenaline-junkie. He gets off on risking his life, running up to strangers’ homes, busting inside, running around, and then jumping into his car and driving away through all of the traffic lights at top speed before he can get caught.
That guy’s definitely going to wind up in jail.
Unless…
Alchemy.
He chooses to become a firefighter.
Now, he’s busting into people’s homes, risking his life, speeding through traffic lights…
and he is a hero.
You are already using Intent. It’s part of your birthright as a human being.
You just need to channel it by spending time paying attention to the things that inspire you and that align with your nature and your values.
If you were very hot and parched, and a wonderful, clean, pure glass of fresh, cool water was in front of you, would you be confused about how to reach out and drink it?
No. It would be the most natural thing in the world.
Intent.
Engage with the realities that inspire you. Not just by repeating words, but by getting up and going to see them, be close to them, listen to them, etc.
Just like with the glass of water.
You wouldn’t sit for 10 minutes saying, ‘I INTEND TO DRINK THIS GLASS OF WATER’. And then doing a kung fu bow or something.
You would reach forward, pick it up, and drink it.
If it was in the next room, you would walk to the next room, pick it up and drink it.
If it was at the store, you would drive to the store, buy it, bring it back home, pick it up and drink it.
and so on.
Intent.
Conscious guidance.
Subs help you focus on their objectives subconsciously. In order to aid their achievement you need to focus on them consciously, therefore, aligning your focus on both levels.
For example, this Mogul’s objective:
- Boost motivation to create wealth through existing and new revenue channels.
can be aided consciously by planning and working on your existing revenue channels and pondering on new ones and venturing. It’s as simple as that.
The best thing to do would be planning a course of action for the objectives you really want to (or must) achieve and then taking the required action.
Naturally, every sub offers more than just a list of objectives and we can still benefit from them without any particular planning (organized intent), just by going with the flow of life. Yet, that’s far from an optimal approach.
Spend 5-10 minutes each day visualizing your goals and someone you would need to become to achieve those goals “naturally and effortlessly” and then go about your day. If you want to go further, you can use image boards, journaling, whatever method allows you to deeply visualize the desired outcome and the hero you would need to become to achieve it “naturally and effortlessly”. Naturally, for most of the subs you need to pair it up with taking proper action (ex. Mogul, Emperor). Another thing is feeling into the “persona” the sub is attempting to instill in you (ex. WB, Libertine, DD).
This is only to help you get immersed in your real intents, improve your conscious focus on them and give you a motivational boost.
