I totally agree, "tape" is not the issue here. It's what you are resisting that is the problem. You are not trusting your subconsciousness enough to let the Paraliminals work for you. If you can't seem to make it happen, you just ask yourself "how am I going to trust my subconscious mind?" and let the answer come to you. And long with that you need to focus on what you want, on the positive, not what you don't want.
