On the other hand, I do suspend disbelief easily. My favorite literature was -- and still is -- science fiction and fantasy. If you can't suspend disbelief while you're reading SF&F, you're not going to enjoy the story. If you're reading a story about a post-apocalypse society and you look outside and see the (non-mutated) trees and shrubs, you're not going to get very much from the story, no matter how excellently written. We don't currently have subspace or faster-than-light drives, so we can't visit the planets of Alpha Centauri (much less Cottman IV, Pern, Valdemar, or Trantor).
I'm guessing that your favorite fiction is some sort of realistic fiction, set in either the current day or "period" fiction.
Also, as a pagan, I know that reality is much more malleable that most people realize. So people can shrink, become smarter or dumber, and much, much more. I've shrunk three inches in a few weeks. My penis has shriveled from a healthy seven or eight inches when hard to one-point-five inches soft and is unable to get hard ... and I love it! Mind over matter? Hell, yeah! It works ... I'm not complaining; I'm boasting!
As for "undermining" hypnotic suggestions, what I do is different from most other people. I listen to hypnosis files as the equivalent of "background music". I put the file on 'repeat" and let it play while I'm doing something that occupies my conscious mind ... like writing this response. I'm listening to [pause to check] Sarnoga's Teeny Weenie file right now; when it ends, I will start listening to ViVe's Dumbing Down #2 for the rest of the hours I'm on my computer checking various sites, e-mails, reading, ... whatever. My conscious mind is occupied doing something constructive; my subconscious mind is the only portion that needs to pay attention to a hypnosis file. I'm certain that I could recall the suggestions if I wanted to. I don't bother. You learn a song that's constantly playing on the radio even when you're not paying attention, sometimes even humming the melody. When you catch yourself doing that, you sometimes think or say, "Where did that come from?" My response is, "Kewl! I'm shrinking (or whatever)!"
All I can say is about all my successful hypnosis-induced changes is: This is so fucking kewl![/quote]
Actually, I like science fiction too. But that may be the difference between us. I suspend my belief when I'm reading fiction, but it is, after all, fiction. I have a rational NT personality type and I tend to be scientific and objective when it comes to real life, even if doing so means I have to be ruthlessly and painfully honest. And that means I tend to undo suggestions both during and after I've listened.
For example, I was with some old friends recently and I was having a miserable time! I was convinced that I was doing everything wrong and nobody liked me. And then a few days later, I realized it was because I had listened to Sarnoga's teenage sissy boy 1 and 2, which include those suggestions. OK, so once I realize that, it becomes easy to undo the effects. My tendency to analyze has reduced the efficacy of the file despite the fact that I'm a good enough subject that listening only once a few weeks ago was enough to produce this change.
I wonder if your technique would help, or subliminals. I wish more files had a suggestion for amnesia, which is designed to avoid just such a problem.
BTW, don't forget that TW worked very well on me. My thing is little and shriveled, my balls are tiny, and the reduction in testosterone has made me almost as submissive as a eunuch, which I almost am at this point. But I really listened to that with one foot in the water -- only twice at first and never the curse version -- because I didn't want all the effects. I don't think my shrinking is over, just haven't decided yet exactly what I'll do.
Often with this stuff, I find myself agonizing over the tradeoffs. If I were a total slave I would just do what I'm told and wouldn't have to worry about it and that's appealing but at the same time kind of scary. I mean, I was genuinely miserable when I was with my friends -- which is a turn-on on one hand -- but do I really want to go through life like that?
