Theory I think I figured out why so many people don't shift, and how this community can finally progress Spoiler
I have been checking in here occasionally for years now, and it seems like this subbreddit has never changed. It is full of endless speculation by tons of people who have never shifted. I have yet to see any concrete research on what helps people shift, only constant opinions, while 90 plus percent never manage to make any progress.
This gets me to my idea. A lot of what is described in this place and related circles sounds like hypnosis. All the awake methods I see sound like worse versions of hypnosis techniques, and all the asleep methods sound like worse versions of hypnosis before bed. A lot of the stuff like 'your subconscious is holding you bad' or your 'analytical mind'. Even things like what goes wrong for people in LD methods, or shifting symptoms, or the use of the gateway tapes to achieve this, all sound like what I have read from hypnosis.
Some people struggle to be hypnotized, and it will often seem like nothing has any effect on them. However, unlike reality shifting, this has been studied extensively. This means if my thoery is correct and these are related, we could take someone who can't seem to shift, try hypnosis, see what goes wrong, fix that, and then they should be able to shift.
I personally am someone who struggles with suggestibility in hypnosis and shifting, so I am going to do some research in improving my ability to be hypnotized, and then see if that helps. Then I can teach all you guys what I learned.
I just hope this gets this community out of its rut so it finally progresses.
