An interesting comment in the last of tacitus’ posts, I believe similar to the deduction in the first post of this journal. Changing behavioral patterns I believe genetically we wouldn’t otherwise be able to change, but the pheromones serve as a catalyst to do so. Especially through encountered self effects and how we react to the world. Interesting read, we must carry this flame on… > [@My post pheromone self... game as instinct training ?](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/my-post-pheromone-self-game-as-instinct-training/6213/1): > > Fine and well… there was a phase not too long ago where something indefinite began to shift in the way I was relating to people, _the pheromone experiments appeared to allow my brain to wire in new social circuits in ways I hadn’t appreciated, and even now do not understand_… > > What does it all mean, Sherlock ? I deduce that over time the pheromones had unconsciously got me into novel behavior patterns that are either too gnereral, too subtle, too nuanced… such as they can’t be easily written down or put in instructional form… _and slowly but surely these attiitudes-behaviors-thought patterns began to fuse into a personal social style._.. > > So here’s one (more) vote for the theory that pheromones in conjunction with other behavior changing processes, learning tools, etc… actually act as “game skill development catalysts”… where eventually the pheromone might be a nice extra nudge while _the real work has taken place in the mind of the user_ ? 🙂 🙂 🙂 He elaborates more… > [@My post pheromone self... game as instinct training ?](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/my-post-pheromone-self-game-as-instinct-training/6213/3): > > OK.. I’lll repeat that… the real work has taken place in the mind of the user… who is the one exposed to the highest concentrations… the user, or wearer, has about 90% unconsciousness of how he (or) she is perceived by other people. _Most have no idea how others see them, or really feel about them. Most behavior is unconscious, automatic pattern.._. and the best psychology theory tells us that the personality is strongly established before 5 years of age… and then it changes slowly, with difficulty… > > Sooo.. what this also reveals is those people who are succesfull with others, either gettting good partners, or business, or whatever, probably were exposed to successful child rearing patterns which set these skills in place before there was any self consciousness… > > What I believe pheromones are (partially) capable of doing is softening some of the rigid or deeply set internal structures so one can become flexible again and learn new relating patterns, assuming one is so motivated, and by practicing them over and over one is given a second chance at behavioral self patterning… so low success or frustration can change into high success or social ease… > > At which point the pheromone is nice, however the success comes from deep level personal change… either of attitudes towards others or attitudes towards oneself, or expectations of how others might perceive us, or how we expect them to react to us… --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/learnings-of-a-twisted-ostrich-phase-2/49150)._
