Yes. My system of self-programming includes hypnotic affirmations, which pushes them past conscious resistance and into the subconscious faster, as well as visualizations. The way the subconscious works is that, if you know what you're doing, you can directly command it what to do, think and believe. That is how it's supposed to be, for WILL to overcome MIND (which is to say, for the masculine to overcome the feminine). The nice side effect of mastering your own feminine mind is that once you do it, girls become nearly effortless to handle.
I used to posit a difference between mind and will, but now I'm not so sure. Now it seems more like saying Iran needs to conquer Iran. It's completely pointless, because you're already there to begin with. It's only by thinking you're not there that you hypnotize yourself into thinking you need to exercise your will over your self.
It's like saying the yin must conquer the yang, even though if that were to happen you would no longer be able to know the yin, because you can only know yin in terms of yang, as they imply one another.
Historically, this attitude is near the heart of a worldview that leads to deep insecurities, feelings of alienation, and fascism.
It's a vestige of the Judeo-Christian myth that the kingdom of heaven (i.e., your mind) is monarchical, which led to the mind-body dialectic as well as the shallow anthropocentrism of the nature-man dialectic. But I say, let there be democracy in the kingdom of heaven!
Trying to force control is defensive, and you waste enormous amounts of energy trying to force everything to your will. It's a prisoner's dilemma, of sorts. A person can focus much more on the things that will "improve" them (affirmations, exploring your interests, meeting new people with a genuinely open mind, etc.) when they aren't hypnotized into a fragmentary sense of self.
But really, who is this separate 'you' commanding your subconscious, and why is trying to do so useful? Perhaps you're talking about converting subconscious happenings into conscious ones?
