KoalaPhoenix 🏳️⚧️ @koalaphoenix.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The subconscious is the part of your mind that hypnosis is talking to, and your subconscious is a stupid, nervous, horse of a thing. It ignores the "no" from commands telling it "no," so your conscious has to correct, or translate, that for it. 191

That's the opposite of what you want, because the SC simply hears the positive bits and ignores the negative. Want proof? Don't think about elephants. 161
KoalaPhoenix 🏳️⚧️ @koalaphoenix.bsky.social · 06/10/2026You thought about elephants, didn't you. I told you not to. See, my mistake was telling you what NOT to think about, so of course you have to think about what that thing IS to know what to avoid! What I should do instead is NEVER mention anything I don't want you to think about. 160
