Well, I was hoping it would be.

He wasn't starting straight at me, but in my
direction. I'm assuming that is OK, because it's meant
to be at the sub-conscious level.


> Secondly had you a strong paying attention state?

I was strongly paying attention. Whether there is a
difference between the "act" of paying attention at
the "state" of paying attention, I don't know.

How necessary is that really, though? I mean, what if
I'm trying to anchor "being dominated" with someone,
with me being the dominant one. It doesn't make sense
for both of us to experience the weaker state, so why
does it make a difference here?


> Firstly did you engage in that passion yourself

Not really - I was paying attention. So while his
state was "passionate talking", you can say that mine
was "passionate listening".

Slid the pen up what!? Got me excited?
(Just kidding?)


> And say something like "Wow your so excited

Was focussed on listening.

Yup, used the pen as a sliding scale.

I could try that in future.
