Billboard Makes You Hear Voices

NOTE: This is exactly what I described in my book "Mind Control 101"

'Paranormal State' Ad Billboard Makes You Hear Voices

The outdoor billboard that displays an ad for Paranormal State, a ghost-themed series premiering on A&E this week, uses special technology to transmit sound so close to you that you think its inside your head.

(Paranormal State ad makes you hear voices)

As you walk by, the sound of a woman's voice whispers "Who's that? Who's there?... It's not your imagination." Advertisers describe it as a "chilling message."

The technology is created by Holosonic; the device is effectively an "audio spotlight" that can project sound literally right into your ears.

Previously, this technology had been used in places like museums or libraries; it creates an isolated experience while not disturbing those in the general area.

I'm guessing some readers might be disturbed by the idea of an ad that is beamed right at them as they walk down the sidewalk. However, cheerful Joe Pompei, president and founder of Holosonics, knows you'll come to love the technology:

"If you really want to annoy a lot of people, a loudspeaker is the best way to do it," he said. "If you set up a loudspeaker on the top of a building, everybody's going to hear that noise. But if you're only directing that sound to a specific viewer, you're never going to hear a neighbor complaint from street vendors or pedestrians. The whole idea is to spare other people."

"There's going to be a certain population sensitive to it. But once people see what it does and hear for themselves, they'll see it's effective for getting attention," Mr. Pompei said.

I find myself wondering if perhaps there will be an increase in the number of people who check themselves into mental health services for a quick schizophrenia check-up.

Take a look at this amusing and descriptive video about audio spotlight technology. You can get some idea of what it's like by checking out this google video - Paranormal State sonic wallscape ad video.

Update 14-Dec-2007: It occurs to me that there is a pretty good sf precursor to this device - the subliminal billboards from J.G. Ballard's 1963 story The Subliminal Man:

Tyler Durden’s 5 Rules of Persuasion Mastery

http://persuasionartist.com/2008/10/13/tyler-durdens-5-rules-of-persuasion-mastery/#more-308

Mastering Persuasion does take a certain attitude, a willingness to practice, and a desire to evolve your personality.

After watching the film Fight Club the other day I saw a little bit of this attitude reflecting in Brad Pitt’s character Tyler Durden in the movie Fight Club.

Some of Tyler’s blunt philosophies about living your life to the fullest I can also see as good philosophies about mastering persuasion.

If Tyler was a persuasion artist, here are some of the things I can imagine him saying about mastering persuasion and covert hypnosis.

I call it Tyler Durden’s 5 Rules of Persuasion Mastery.
Tyler’s First Rule of Persuasion Mastery:
“No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.” -Tyler Durden

Practice your new persuasion skills without fear. Fear that you will fail at getting your outcome, or insecurities about getting caught trying to hypnotize someone will only hold you back. Do not be afraid of sounding weird or strange understand that it is all in your head, or it means you haven’t practiced enough.

The more you practice, the more you will become familiar with the techniques and your insecurities will fade. Practice on your own and study before you go using the persuasion strategies in the real world. You can practice the language patterns, and the tonality on your own, but you will learn the most from going into the world and speaking to real people.

Practicing without fear and distractions also means reading books on persuasion, listening to courses on persuasion, writing out the language patterns, working on your tonality, utilizing what you have practiced speaking to strangers in line at star bucks, on the street, at work, at bars, friends family etc.

When you are learning something new it is easy to get distracted, but I would encourage you to create an image of yourself being masterfully persuasive and getting it is you want out of life and keep that image in the front of your mind, such that your every interaction with people is filtered through that image of your self. Now, to the point where you make it a priority to practice your persuasion skills on “live ones” today easily.

Now, go out and make time to practice persuasion even f its just ten minutes a day, that is four hours a month of more persuasion artist practice than the people who just read my articles, say that was neat concept and stumble onto the next blog.

Tyler’s Second Rule of Persuasion Mastery:
“No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.” .” -Tyler Durden

Seriously, it’s that important.
(and if you have seen the film, this redundancy will make more sense)

Tyler’s Third Rule of Persuasion Mastery:
“I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let’s evolve, let the chips fall where they may.”.” -Tyler Durden

I chose the name persuasion artist for my blog because persuasion is about unique expression. The personality of you and everyone you persuade is unique so the process of persuasion with them is a unique creation manifested with every individual.

Persuasion is an art.

When an artist picks up a brush for the first times its never a masterpiece, mastery is a path trailed by mistakes that caused the learning that led to mastery.

You greatest moments of persuasion art will occur when you say “fuck it lets see what happens!” rather than the tense place of “I need to do this perfectly and I need to persuade this person.”

Artist are not afraid of getting it wrong because they know that they are on a journey that is un ending.

When I started I would wait until I could do the patterns perfectly and since that never happened I paralyzed my growth. Get out there make mistakes, because words do not teach life experience teaches!!!

Persuasion is an art, and art is never perfect so get out there and express yourself.

Tyler’s Fourth Rule of Persuasion Mastery:
“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.” .” -Tyler Durden

When I am with a prospect I am persuading and I know I am losing the person, perhaps when they have some objection that makes them want to leave. That’s’ when I turn my persuasion into high gear.

Not as a last resort, but because hell I’m losing them any way, why not use this as an opportunity to experiment something I haven’t tried yet.

So I give myself permission to royally screw up trying sh*t I haven’t tried yet.

I remember one day this guy came in to get information about our products and he openly said he had a friend in the business who was going to give him a better deal, and he just wanted to use me for information.

I could have gotten annoyed at why is this guy wasting my time, or just walked off.

Nah, I reframed in into an opportunity to practice covert hypnosis.

I started throwing out every possible language pattern I could to the point where it was just blatantly ridiculous.!

From embedded commands, cause and effect, to propulsion systems, by the time I got to time distortion he was giving me a weird look, but I didn’t care he was using me for information I was going to use him for hypnosis target practice.

I would even take it to the point of trying to screw up. That’s right try to get caught, in that light playful energy you will learn more about what you are capable of as you stretch your persuasion muscles.

Tyler’s Fifth Rule of Persuasion Mastery:
“Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.”.” -Tyler Durden

Just reading every book on persuasion and hypnosis, and knowing every term in NLP doesn’t make you a persuasion artist any more than sticking feathers up your butt makes you a chicken.

Just reading my blog casually doesn’t do it either.

Really Smart Stupid People

It seems like every seminar on persuasion, NLP, or hypnosis I go to you always have some guy who thinks he knows more about persuasion than the teacher. During the seminar he is always interrupting the teacher, correcting the teacher, or asking questions that are irrelevant to the topic and are just to show how much they know about NLP.

Eventually the smart teachers will say, ok buddy if you are so smart come up here and display what I just explained.

And of course they choke.

They have all the knowledge in the world of hypnosis, but they cant display one covert hypnosis process to save their life.

“I call these really smart, stupid people” -Tom Vizinni NLP trainer and coach.

Today in the age of the internet there is so much information that it is really easy to get addicted to information, to the point where you get more a rush out of reading about covert hypnosis than actually applying covert hypnosis.

Study and then make a goal to apply what you have studied in the real world.

Bottom line, it’s about taking action!

Mind Controlled Sex Slaves and the CIA

A UFO DIGEST BOOK REVIEW

Mind Controlled Sex Slaves and the CIA: A Collection of Essays and Interviews About Project MONARCH

By Tracy Twyman, with additional material by Nick Redfern and Commander X

Reviewed by Sean Casteel

Mind Controlled Sex Slaves And The CIA (Paperback)
A close cousin to the field of study called Ufology is the school of political analysis called Conspiracy Theory, which encompasses everything from the machinations of the UFO cover-up to tales of a secret government operating in close cooperation with the alien presence. It is sometimes even claimed that the alien abduction phenomenon is really a human-run program of mind control and genetic experimentation, which serves to explain why some abductees recall being forced into sex with complete strangers by their captors and witness people in military garb rather than the more typical gray aliens.

The admittedly beyond-controversial subjects of mind control and sexual slavery are dealt with surprisingly rationally in this new offering from Global Communications. It's been said that paranoia can be entertaining, but perhaps that is still inadequate to describe this particular tome, which pushes past some barriers in ways that the reader may have trouble dealing with.

The book is called "Mind Controlled Sex Slaves and the CIA: A collection of essays and interviews about Project MONARCH." Project Monarch is an outgrowth of the better known MK-ULTRA program of mind control experiments begun during the early years of the Cold War and first brought to public awareness in the congressional hearings conducted by Senator Frank Church in the mid-1970s. The stunned electorate learned about such things as CIA experiments that sought to discover whether LSD could be used to aid the interrogation process, the idea being that perhaps the anxiety of a "bad trip" could frighten even the most tight-lipped subject into submission. The agency claimed to have canceled the program many years before the Church Committee investigation.

The book's introduction, written by well-known paranormal journalist Nick Redfern, provides an excellent history of what is publicly known about the CIA's mind control experimentation, so any reader unfamiliar with the subject can get Redfern's crash course and quickly be brought up to speed.

The real meat of the book, however, is the interviews conducted by journalist and author Tracy Twyman about Project MONARCH, which is said to be a super secret program to kidnap and "brainwash" children for use as sexual slaves, both to service the politically elite and for various kinds of espionage. For instance, Twyman interviews a "recovered" sex slave named Cathy O'Brien, who claims to have had sex with several different presidents down through the years, as well as with other prominent politicians. There is of course a natural sense of shock on the part of the reader, and the claims made at the very least conjure disturbing mental pictures and are extremely unpleasant to imagine. There is also the now familiar accusation-often made by conspiracy theorists of the more radical stripe-of pedophilia being rampant among the political elite. The alleged scenes of perversion are secretly filmed as well for the purposes of blackmail should the need ever arise.

Twyman also speaks to a housewife and mother named Noreen Gosch, whose son Johnny was kidnapped some twenty years ago while on his paper route in Des Moines, Iowa. Gosch is certain that her son was taken for use as a sexual slave, and her struggle to get law enforcement to follow up on the slave angle is heartrending as well as frightening. It seems there's a pedophile under every rock among even the lower levels of government, with the police and even the newspapers somehow involved in a conspiracy to keep the truth covered up. Reading the details of Noreen's story may make a believer out of even the most stalwart skeptic on the subject, though she does stray into some strange emotional territory.

Twyman interviews Ted Gunderson, a retired FBI agent who now works as a private investigator, and his comments are also replete with big names who participate in the overall Satanic conspiracy and who have even been photographed engaging in perverted sex acts with children. But the names and details are better left to the book and won't be mentioned in this review.

Twyman's concluding essay is very well written, updating some of the storylines begun in the earlier interviews and tying up some of the loose ends. Even as she was writing her conclusion in the early months of 2008, there were breaking stories about pedophilia rings that reached into the upper echelons of government in both Portugal and France. The continuing story of Project MONARCH and its international equivalents is currently a hot topic, Twyman says, but oh how we wish it wasn't so.

Mind Control For the Bail Out Blues

http://stopyourdrama.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/mind-control-for-the-bail-out-blues/

Well…the big bail out didn’t work and now everyone is freaking out. Goes to show the effect of bad judgment. We collectively get to see what the proverbial “ripple effect” looks like on a global perspective. It’s not just about us any more.

If you haven’t noticed, we are all playing in the same sand box. In USA Today the headline on the front page says,’ As fear, panic spread, global markets dive.‘

Japan’s Nikkei stock average plummeted, Russia, France, UK and Germany felt the hit too.If we don’t get a measure of discipline, we are all going to spiral out of control.

Here’s a suggestion to keep you rowing in the midst of the tidal waves.

Get Control of Your MIND

It’s time to throw in a dash of discipline with some good old mind control. Letting your thoughts go haywire with future predictions, worry and doom and gloom only add to the global misery as is evident in the front page of every major magazine. Here are 5 Mind Mistakes to Avoid in Tough Times.

Mind Mistake #1 I have the right to worry

You do have the right to worry but it is a mistake to take advantage of this option.The reason is worry doesn’t contribute to the solution. Worry can make you sick and worry breeds more negativity. Already USA Today reports stress is up 50-60%, irritability is at an all time high and fatigue and sleeplessness is reaching an all time high as well. Getting SICK does not solve your problem…it only makes it worse.

Mind Mistake #2 This is all the Government’s fault

While it’s easy to cast blame and point fingers, there is a bigger picture to observe. All of us have a responsibility to select representatives to our government who look out for our best interests. The more personal responsibility we are individually ready to assume, the less likely we will be faced with these kinds of problems. Each person must take this situation as a wake up call to be more alert and pro-active. We are all in this together.

Mind Mistake #3 I can’t help how I feel

Although unwanted circumstances influence how you feel, you can shift how you feel. On a physical level, to feel your very best you must take care of yourself, eat healthy, exercise, and get your sleep. On a mental or emotional level you must master your mindset.

Emotions are the body’s reaction to the mind. Your thoughts trigger your emotions, not the other way around. Thought always comes first. Most people are just unaware of their thoughts. The only thing you ever totally have control over is your own sense of well-being. Ultimately you are responsible for your feelings.

Mind Mistake #4 There is One Ultimate Right Decision

Why are so many of us rushing to make someone wrong? Every time someone disagrees with the other side, fingers start pointing and tongues start wagging. It’s all drama. Our country was built around the option to voice different opinions. We should all be more concerned about mob mentality. Let’s support those working on our behalf and lets look for blind spots in ourselves and others who are too quick to have the final answer.

Mind Mistake #5 When this is finally over I can be at peace

You don’t have to wait to be peaceful. You can be peaceful right now. You can practice releasing in each moment. Gary Zukav says “Stress is the consequence of resistance to your life.” When we resist what is, we create more stress. When you relax into acceptance, you can then reclaim your peace.

Eckhart Tolle says, “Listen to people’s stories, and you’ll find that they could all be entitled “Why I Cannot Be at Peace Now.” The ego doesn’t know that your only opportunity for being at peace is now.”

Take a deep breath. Take control. Ride the storm. Get present. “The Drama Stops Here.”

of Others With Your Words

Raw Hypnosis

Hello,

I just want to give you QUICK referance to a cool hypnosis program I found by hypnotist, Ryan Evens.

http://www.MindControl101.com/rawhypnosis.html

Raw Hypnosis is not something to be taken lightly. It is the single most powerful form of hypnosis and, in the wrong hands; it can be used for all the wrong reasons.

With great power comes great responsibility… so if you do not plan to use this incredible, mind-gripping control for good then this is not the program for you.

I think it's worth looking at.

Sincerely,

Macy's Panders to Illuminati Wannabes with T-Shirts

Infowars | In response to an earlier post on Infowars about the Macy’s department store retailing t-shirts with occult names and symbols, a comment dismissed this as an effort to market stuff to the so-called Goth sub-culture. Macy’s line of t-shirts, however, go beyond any superficial Goth notions of dark, mysterious, and morbid imagery and are in fact advertisements for the religion of the New World Order. The Illuminati has a habit of inserting its religious and secret society symbols across the span of popular culture… and that includes clothing.

The following descriptions break down what is really behind the slogans on Macy’s line of shirts:

Cult of the Serpent

Serpent worship is nothing new — going back more than 5,000 years — and is intimately related to Freemasonry and the Illuminati. 33 Degree Mason Albert Pike, in his book, Morals & Dogma, discussed the importance of the worship of the serpent in the mystery religions of antiquity. “Among the Egyptians, it was a symbol of Divine Wisdom, when extended at length; and with its tail in its mouth, of Eternity,” Pike wrote.

According to Dr. John Coleman, the Illuminati of today is directly related to the ancient Babylonian Serpent Cult and is “under the direct control of some very nefarious forces” (see Wes Penre, The Reptilian Agenda, Illuminati News, Dec 26, 2004). “Coleman in fact provides much evidence that 33rd degree Masonry has been used not only to infiltrate and take over many political, economic and religious institutions, but has also been used to ‘create’ such institutions as well, organizations to which people will flock and submit their power and energies to unknowingly serve an agenda that they know nothing about.”


Council of Nine

The Council is directly connected to worship of the Mystery Religions and claims to be the Ennead, or the nine major gods of ancient Egypt. In Greek mythology, when Prometheus gave Fire to mankind, he infuriated Zeus, so to punish Prometheus, Zeus had him chained to a rock and every day an eagle came down and ate his liver. The liver grew back and the eagle returned to do the same to him the next day. To punish mankind, Zeus and eight other deities gathered to form the Council of Nine. The council members were Aphrodite, Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hera, Hermes, Poseidon and Zeus. As the legend has it, the Council created Pandora, and sent her, as a gift, to Epimetheus. Epimetheus was also given Pandora’s Box, and told to never open it. Curiosity got the better of Pandora and she opened the box, releasing all of the misfortunes of Mankind.

According to researchers Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, modern Council of Nine disciples include cutting edge scientists, multi-millionaire industrialists and leading politicians. Most notably, the Council of Nine was associated with Andrija Puharich (also known as Henry K. Puharich), a medical doctor who established the Round Table Foundation, a private paranormal research laboratory in Glen Cove, Maine.

Illuminati Knight

This appears to be a reference to the various orders of Illluminism, specifically Illuminatus Dirigens, or Scotch Knight of Illluminism, an intermediary degree. No doubt the “illuminated ones,” that is to say secret members of the New World Order, dedicated to the stealthy conquest of nations and a one world government, find it at least mildly amusing that clueless useless eaters are walking around advertising the Illuminati.

The VAK TEST

Are You a See-er, Hear-er, or Feel-er? The VAK TEST

http://gfrerichs.typepad.com/gudrunfrerichs/2008/10/are-you-a-see-er-hear-er-or-feel-er-the-vak-test.html

Many models are used to categorise people. I will share with you today the model of perceptional positions. This model distinguishes between people according to what main perceptional channel they use to interact with the world. This has been widely used in learning and teaching and is known as the VAK (V=visual, A=auditory, and K=Kinaesthetic) model.

Being able to identify whether a person is visual, kinaesthetic, auditory, olfactory (sense of smell), or gustatory (sense of taste) goes a long way towards understanding them and towards building rapport and knowing how to address them to get them on board with a project. Identifying the language pattern (VAK) another person operates in and using these language patterns yourself creates almost instant rapport and willingness to co-operate.

The following is a test to find out what representation system is your dominant system. Are you mainly visual, kinaesthetic, or auditory? This is copied from the website: www.brefigroup.co.uk

Two great pieces of news!

Last month, Alan Tutt of PowerKeys Publishing released his new "Choose To Believe Audio Workshop" recordings in both downloadable MP3s and MP3-CD formats. At that time, he said they were working on a regular audio-CD version, and it would be available later.

Well, the regular audio-CD version is ready to ship.

http://www.PowerKeysPub.com/prod_29.html?a_aid=mindcontrol

He's also added a new bonus to the program, one that's sure to raise a few eyebrows.

The reason for this is because Alan took some time to research the current market for CD sets and found that while Nightingale-Conant (the leader in this area) is still selling their CD sets for around $15/CD, their sets without workbooks are priced closer to $12/CD. Following this formula, the Audio Workshop would be priced around $84. (7 CDs @ $12 ea.)

And on Amazon.com, Hay House CD sets are priced even lower, as low as $5/CD, which is really ridiculous! Some 7-CD sets are going for around $35-$40.

So, although I know that the Audio Workshop is worth far more than the $97 price tag ($297 wouldn't be out of line for the value this product delivers), Alan wanted to make sure that NO-ONE could have ANY objection to the price, so he found a way to sweeten the deal.

Or, as Walt Disney would say, he "plussed it."

http://www.PowerKeysPub.com/prod_29.html?a_aid=mindcontrol

Alan had this idea in the back of his mind for a couple of years, and now seemed like a great time to bring it to life.

So, for the next couple of weeks, he's going to test it out.

Anyone who purchases a copy of the new "Choose To Believe Audio Workshop" will also get a complimentary 3-month subscription to:

THE "CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?" NEWSLETTER

Each month, subscribers will receive:
1. 8+ page printed newsletter
2. Recorded interview on CD
3. Group coaching call
4. CD of previous month's coaching call
5. Special "members only" offers

Each issue of the "Can You Believe It?" newsletter will feature success stories, up-to-the-minute insights into the Power of Belief, articles, commentary, and more, including a special call-in number for the group coaching call, available to subscribers only.

Alan will also interview a different expert each month on the Power of Belief, Law of Attraction, or similar topic and make a CD to include with the printed newsletter.

And as you can see above, there will also be a group coaching call each month where subscribers to the newsletter will be able to ask questions and get direct answers. These calls will be recorded, and a CD of the call included in the monthly package.

The first coaching call will happen in mid-November, which is why the test will only last for the next 2 weeks. Depending on what response he gets to this, he'll either continue offering it as a bonus to the Audio Workshop, or he'll make it a separate product completely. (Hint: the more sales he gets of the Audio Workshop, the more likely he'll keep it as a bonus.)

http://www.PowerKeysPub.com/prod_29.html?a_aid=mindcontrol

And if no-one responds, he may consider dropping the idea.

Here's another great aspect of the complimentary 3-month subscription -- you don't have to worry about being in an automatic billing system. It won't happen.

In fact, to continue beyond the first 3 months, you'll have to take steps to subscribe. (These easy steps will be explained in each issue of the newsletter.)

Because they're planning to include 2 CDs and a coaching call each month, subscriptions should run AT LEAST $25/month, making the 3-month bonus subscription worth $75 or more.

If you'd like to purchase a set for a friend, please mention this in the comments box during checkout so they can arrange to send the newsletter to your friend.

Anyone who orders more than one set, they'll assume that one set is for you (and thus add you to the newsletter subscription list) and the others are for other people. In this case, they'll contact you to arrange your friends' subscriptions.

I know a lot of folks have been waiting for the regular Audio-CD version of the Audio Workshop, and now it's here!

And with a great new bonus to boot.

Deconstructing the Power of the Global Elite: Brute Force, The Power to Hurt, and Psychological Control by Judith H. Young, Ph.D. In the aftermath of Congressional approval of bailout legislation granting sweeping powers to the financial elite, the body politic appears to be helplessly mired in the relentless unfolding of classical fascism before its very eyes. Coming to terms with this terrifying predicament can benefit from a primer that renders naked the forms of raw power used by the global elite in advancing its agenda for full spectrum dominance. This will enable us to determine if we are in fact helpless and to use care and deliberation in finding the means to take our power back. In his seminal book Arms and Influence, Thomas C. Schelling addresses the comparative efficacy of brute force and the power to hurt in influencing or controlling others.1 A classic example is the application of American power to achieve the unconditional surrender of Japan in World War II: continuing to use brute force to overcome Japanese military forces and occupy Japan (as the Allied Forces had done in Germany) was deemed far more cumbersome than terrorizing the Japanese through the use of atomic bombs against two civilian targets. This use of the power to hurt, with the implicit threat of its further use on a wider basis, got virtually immediate results. The application of these two sources of power by the power elite is not hard to find. With respect to brute force, it is no secret that the US military has been training and arming state and local law enforcement across the country, including supplying some of the same weaponry used in a war zone against an external opponent. Even more alarming, the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team Unit, fresh from action in Iraq and having access to both lethal and non-lethal weapons, including tanks, has recently been assigned to a 12 month tour of duty for domestic security operations.2 Regarding the power to hurt, as the populace witnesses the official acceptance of torture, as well as the increasing brutalization of ordinary citizens (e.g., the use of taser guns to inflict massive electrical shock and even death), it inevitably adopts a mode of self-protective retrenchment or "self-censoring." In a pervasive climate of fear, protest and dissidence become less and less likely, and the march to a full-blown police state is thereby facilitated. Among the most blatant applications of the power to hurt, used as a form of terrorist manipulation, have been the elite's obscene threats of a massive depression and nationwide martial law in the service of its bailout legislation. But in addition to brute force and the power to hurt, the elite uses another form of power that is chilling in its efficacy: sophisticated techniques for controlling information and, more generally, for controlling the perceptions and behavior of the populace through mental and emotional manipulation of the very reality it experiences. Elite control of the media extends beyond manipulating the news that the public receives to molding public opinion and behavior by means of media advertising and entertainment. Examples range from sponsorship of the TV show 24, which attempts to legitimize "enhanced interrogation techniques" (the sanitized phrase for torture), to manipulative TV commercials showing stars cheerfully accepting personal identification technology that smacks of Big Brother. The elite cabal exploits its control over media and entertainment to keep the public misled, distracted and ultimately imprisoned in a matrix of disinformation, rampant consumerism and the lowest common denominators of human nature, including raw violence and mindless sexuality. In a renowned speech given in Berkeley in 1962, British writer Aldous Huxley contrasted his dystopic novel Brave New World with George Orwell's novel 1984, written just after the collapse of the Hitlerian terror regime and while the Stalinist terror regime was still in full swing.3 In Huxley's view, 1984 was "a projection into the future of a society where control was exercised wholly by terrorism and violent attacks upon the mind-body of individuals," whereas his own novel addressed "other methods of control...probably a good deal more efficient." "We are in process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy...to get people to love their servitude....There seems to be a general movement in the direction of this kind of...a method of control by which a people can be made to enjoy a state of affairs by which any decent standard they ought not to enjoy." Huxley's concerns about the newly available non-terrorist techniques for "inducing people to love their servitude" were echoed by Nobel Prize winner Bertand Russell, who predicted that as a result of the gradual and ruthless use of technological advances, "a revolt of the plebs would be as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton."4 A powerful form of psychological control used by the global elite is to induce widespread depression stemming from a feeling of futility or helplessness. This brings to mind the famous quote from Thoreau that most humans live "lives of quiet desperation," which he elaborated on by stating that "what is called resignation is confirmed desperation." It also brings to mind the concept in clinical psychology known as 'learned helplessness'. The phenomenon of learned helplessness was discovered through psychological experiments in 1967 by Martin Seligman and Steve Maier. A group of harnessed dogs was given painful electric shocks, which they could end by pressing a lever. Another group received shocks of identical intensity and duration without a means to stop them. The dogs who could stop the pain recovered from the experience quickly, but those who could not learned that they were helpless and exhibited symptoms similar to chronic clinical depression: when they were put in a shuttle-box apparatus in which they could escape electric shocks by jumping over a low partition, most of the dogs just lay down passively and whined rather than trying to escape the shocks.5 Another powerful from of elitist mind control is to create dependency on authority figures through "shock and awe" techniques. In her brilliant work on the "shock doctrine" of disaster Capitalism, Naomi Klein argues that it is the knowledge of human nature gained through the application of torture techniques by intelligence agencies that has infused the broader mind control strategies of the disaster capitalists.6 In the CIA's basic interrogation manual declassified in 1963, for example, a window of opportunity is highlighted in which torture reduces its victim to a state of traumatized disorientation and childlike regression, creating an opening for the interrogator to be transformed into a protective father figure. This is one of the classic tactics of tyrants across the planet. In the view of Klein and others, it was used after the shock of 9/11 to create a national lens of perception within the overall control matrix, a kind of template to be used by the mind to reflexively process all relevant concepts in terms of the 'war on terror'. Klein sees the solution as contained in the problem: as we gain awareness of the same pattern playing out again and again, we can become prepared for the next shock and its exploitation by disaster Capitalists: "If we understand how our states of shock are exploited, if we can recognize the signs, then the next time there is a crisis (and it can be an economic crisis)...then when the next shock hits we can prepare." "I have a quote...from Milton Friedman, who says that only a crisis, actual or perceived, produces real change, and...when the crisis hits, the change depends on the ideas that are lying around. So it's not just about recognizing a pattern; it's also about having your [reformist] ideas lying around when the next shock hits." 7 Despite the apparent setback of the new bailout legislation, I share Klein's confidence in our ability to overturn the psychological impairments resulting from shock and awe tactics. More generally, I am optimistic about reversing the spectrum of impairments grouped here under the rubric of psychological control. Even cases of severe mental disorders induced by the horrific CIA mind control program known an MK Ultra have been healed, in a benevolent use of a technique known as reverse engineering. As a practitioner in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), I have become personally familiar with extraordinary new techniques for healing previously intractable syndromes such as learned helplessness and war-induced post-traumatic stress disorder. As an educator who has worked with children and adults with cognitive disabilities, I have seen next to miraculous results from the innovative methods now available. And, finally, as a human being who reveres the human spirit and its perennial indomitability, I refuse to believe that a small cabal of beings solely in service to self will ever be able to take over the minds and souls of mankind. As our best minds address the hair raising elitist victory represented by the bailout legislation, I encourage their deconstructing just how this criminality managed to succeed by tracing its origins in history in terms of the threefold model of power given in this article. In my own view, the current crisis is a crisis in the Chinese sense of the term, i.e., an opportunity in disguise. Because the crisis is rightly perceived as a conflict between Wall Street and Main Street, as an incongruence between the actions of government and the political will and best interest of its constituents, and more generally as a power grab by authoritarian capitalism that is in full daylight for all to examine, it is an opportunity like no other for educating the populace. It is an opportunity like no other to awaken and educate the people so they are no longer sitting ducks for the three forms of power delineated in this article. Especially the third: history abounds with examples of how the first two forms of power lose their hold, indeed in many cases back off, when confronted with a people who value the quality of life over life on any terms, a people who will go to any lengths to protect their basic rights as human beings. It is that spirit that infused the birth and early life of our Republic. I am betting that it is still alive and well in America. Judith H. Young, Ph.D., has a B.A. and an M.A. in Philosophy and a doctorate in Political Science (Brandeis University, 1973). In the 1960s she was a published think tank researcher with a Top Secret security clearance in the areas of arms control, strategic studies and international aerospace activities. In 1973-74 she taught International Politics at Mount Holyoke University in Massachusetts. In the 1990s Judy became a practitioner and teacher in several venerable healing arts, including animal-assisted therapy and traditional Reiki. She founded a nonprofit animal and nature center dedicated to promoting the healthy development of children and youth, which she directed from 1994-2004, and she published widely in the field of equine-assisted activities and ecotherapy. After the shocking events of 9/11/2001, Judy returned to her earlier vocation as a writer and educator in the field of International Politics, while also maintaining a professional practice in complementary and alternative healing.

How do I know?

They are using language to deliver their message.

I'm announcing an early release of my book "Mind Control Language Patterns" because I thinks it is absolutely relevant to the politics that is going on right this very moment!

Obama and McCain are using the best of mind control to weave their words to seduce, compel and SCARE you into voting for them!

It doesn't matter who you are voting for IT IS WORKING!!!

Let's put aside the politics of the presidential campaign and recognize that this is want language is all about and if you want to do it you had darned will be good at it!!!

Listening to these to presidential candidates makes me realize these men, and their speach writers, have gone though a LOT of training.

It is as if they cracked open "Mind Control Language Patterns" and taken from it like it were Halloween candy.

See for yourself.

This is WAY too important to wait until after the elections to find out how you've been manipulate.

WHAT IS THE SECRET THAT THE “ANTI-GOD CULT” CALLED “SCIENTOLOGY” FEARS THE MOST FROM BEING EXPOSED?

WHAT IS THE SECRET THAT THE “ANTI-GOD CULT” CALLED “SCIENTOLOGY” FEARS THE MOST FROM BEING EXPOSED?

The secret most un-exposed about Scientology is that is it an “Applied Physiological Philosophy” rather than an “Applied Religious Philosophy”. All Scientology courses, all auditing processes, and all the management and professional courses are based on physiological phenomenas, psychophysiology, emotions, human behavior patterns etc., that are our birth right and used in Scientology as their own discoveries. Even their PTS-SP data is based upon how a “Symptom” re-stimulation is brought out by physiological reactions of the mind affecting the body when under stress. They blame innocent human beings called by them “suppressive persons” for bringing out a symptom that was there to warn you of hidden real illnesses caused by non-suppressive sources such as parasites, chemicals, poisons, toxins, viruses and bacteria. The data on PTS-SP is twisted by them to blame innocent people in order to keep them in line.

The only way to fight the “Greatest Scam on Earth” is to expose to the world--how Scientology has used physiological phenomenas as the basis for a false religion. How it has harmed families by claiming that innocent mothers and fathers are SPs -- when they lied about symptom re-stimulations to the world.

No where in Scientology will you find courses or services on any bible, there is no study or belief in heaven, hell, saints, angels, the devil, or even God himself. They do not study religion or even believe in religions. They do not share common values with any other religion. Their goal is to eliminate all other religions.

Because of its many crimes against humanity, the cult of Scientology does not and never had the moral, religious or political right to be called a true “Church”.

The E-meter reads your physiological reactions, the Ronbots never calls it that—they call it the “CHARGE” or the “MASS” or “ENGRAMS” OR “MENTAL IMAGE PICTURES” that you have in your brain—all meant to distract you from the truth.

Know this fact --- There is a law of Nature or law of God called “Physiological Reactions” that is the true secret behind Scientology’s Dianectic study technology.

AUDITING ERASES AND LESSONS YOUR PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS!!! Once they are gone – your symptoms can’t be re-stimulated by stress or arguments. This is NOT a good thing, because ALL doctors depend on symptoms to guide them in treating you! This is why they prohibit you from seeing the doctors of your choice!!! Understand now how the scam works? Now when you argue with your mother and don’t get sick – you think she was the cause of all your illnesses.

If you were audited a hundred times over and over again (repetitive auditing) for a word that you were ordered to never clear or understand, and then made to read a page that contained that word—it would never again read on the Emeter or cause a physiological reaction.

Both Psychiatry and Scientology treats the symptoms of the mind and not the real causes of mental illnesses, one with drugs and one with erasing physiological reactions called Engrams or mental image pictures! Which one is worst? Drugs you can stop, but the other is irreversible and also a dangerous and deadly scam.

With the knowledge about physiological reactions as the base of Scientology, contained here, psychiatry will defeat $cientology easily.

LRH discovered that when you passed a misunderstood word—you manifested many reactions of various types: Yawning, sleepiness, not there feeling, dizziness, blurry eyes, nervousness and dozens more.

Being the liar that he was, he claimed that physiological reactions which he now calls “Dianetics” was “‘his” invention and not a law of God; he hid the fact that it is our human inheritance since time began.

Granted that his power of obnosis (observation) was the best in the world, his crime against humanity was to make a “religion” based upon the falsehood, that it was his very own invention or creation and not a law of God belonging to all Humanity as their lawful right.

For proof that the Cult has lied to you: -- Google “L. Ron Hubbard and Physiological Reactions” or visit their own Godless websites:

LRH used God’s Natural laws to make slaves of mankind!

“So long as a physiological phenomenon remains the knowledge of a few and is denied to the many it can be utilized to control the many.” LRH (from Journal of Scientology Issue 4-G from Oct. 1952)

“This universe has long been looking for new ways to make slaves. Well, we've got some new ways to make slaves here.” LRH (from PDC tape lecture #20 “Formative State of Scientology, Definition of Logic”, given on 6 Dec 52)

"All men shall be my slaves! LRH

All women shall submit to my charms! LRH

All mankind shall grovel at my feet and not know why!" [L. Ron Hubbard, "Affirmations", late 1940s] Affirmations, exhibits 500-4D, E, F & G. See Church of Scientology v Armstrong, transcript volume 11, p.1886.

"Somebody some day will say 'this is illegal'.
By then be sure the orgs say what is legal or not."
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 4 January 1966

"THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL PEOPLE IS TO LIE TO THEM”. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them." - L. Ron Hubbard, "Off the Time Track," lecture of June 1952, excerpted in JOURNAL OF SCIENTOLOGY issue 18-G, reprinted in TECHNICAL VOLUMES OF DIANETICS & SCIENTOLOGY, vol. 1, p. 418

"Scientology...is not a religion." - L. Ron Hubbard, CREATION OF HUMAN ABILITY, 1954, p. 251

LRH said so himself!!! -- Scientology is NOT A RELIGION!!!! HE WANTS TO ENSLAVE ALL MANKIND! WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED?

L. Ron Hubbard’s religion before he discovered physiological reactions was “Satanism”.

He wanted to invent a new religion masked as being good, but in fact its goals were totally evil so that he could take his place on the "Throne of the Beast," which he firmly believed himself to be the rightful heir. Being an evil Satanist he wanted to destroy all other religions and have Scientology as the only religion left on Earth. He wanted to be the RULER of the NEW WORLD ORDER and sit on the Throne of the Beast.

All living beings have physiological (The functions and activities of life or of living matter such as the organic processes of organs, tissues, or cells) phenomenas (observable reactions known through the senses rather than by thought or intuition), or physical manifestations (made evident by showing or displaying) or physical reactions, that we see or feel as symptoms, and they are external and/or internal or visible signs or warnings given to us, by our creator to help us survive, help us increase our potential, our knowledge and our health.

All life on Earth has these cause and effect reactions called physiological phenomenas. All living beings whether they are plant, insect, retile or animal or human could not live without these reactions. They influence the body’s and the mind’s reactions to any form of stimuli, and have an influence on every cell of the body and mind.

[Noun. Physiological reaction – Is an automatic instinctive unlearned reaction to a stimulus.]

[Examples of physiological reactions: inborn reflex, innate reflex, instinctive reflex, reflex response, unconditioned reflex, accommodation reflex, Babinski reflex, belching, headache, migraines, swelling, sweating, erections, blinking, blushing, burping, defecation reflex, disgorgement, involuntary eye blinking, farting, skin flush, gag reflex, goose bump, goose pimple, gooseflesh, involuntary gulping, involuntary hiccup, knee-jerk reflex, light reflex, puking, papillary reflex, rectal reflex, regurgitation, shaking, shiver, shock, sneezing, startle, stretch reflex, suckling reflex, trembling, upset stomach, vomiting, involuntary winking, yawn, yawning -- plus hundreds more.]

Ron studied Physiological reactions more than most scientists and applied it to invent a new Religion.

He did not invent but copied the laws of nature and scammed the whole world into thinking that he alone discovered these reactions and no one else did. What he did do - was noticed the reactions of students and from this scam invented Dianetics “study tech”.

Examples of Physiological reactions of the body and mind when reading:
Falling asleep while reading - yawning, confusion, feeling blank, feeling anxious, not there feeling, tearing eyes, eyes going out of focus, dizziness, reeling, rebelliousness, headaches, skipping words, feeling nauseous, fidgeting, jumpy while reading, can’t stay still, mispronouncing words, feeling as if you are squashed, feeling as if you are over-whelmed, twitching, can’t apply what you are reading, can’t understand what you are reading, etc. are all due to physiological reactions when you read misunderstood words or misunderstood definitions.

The Cult’s method of healing called “Touch Assist” is nothing more than erasing the physiological reactions of PAIN. Physiological reactions are the clues from the law of God called “The Law of Cause and Effect”; for every action there is a reaction. A complete understanding of these two laws of God can be used to learn to self-heal.

To understand the sinful secrets of your enemy –is to know exactly where to hurt him.

Scientology’s copyrighted files on based upon the laws of Nature and laws of God; they are in violation of copyrights and patent rights. Therefore, the contents or subjects can be used by anyone and can be talked about without fear of any lawsuit.

Another scam hidden from the World is the Cult’s deal with the IRS, When LRH died he surrendered his writings to ex-IRS agents to keep Scientology alive for ever. The Cult’s Copyrights are now the property of US Federal government. So Scientology is the only religion that is owned by the IRS. But the fact is that the IRS is owned and/or controlled by the Federal Reserve—which we are all slaves to.

Everything you do produces a reaction in your body and mind. Every time you read, eat, sleep, rest, run, etc. produces a reaction.

To tell your mother that you invented a new religion, because you discovered why you farted, is a good example of the scam that Ron pulled on you. He got away with it because the world did not see these reactions as they applied to reading. Or if some scientist saw and knew it—he did not protest it and allowed a Cult to claim it as their own new discovery.

If you want to destroy the cult, study your own reactions each time you do something—learn to read yourself and use your own power of obnosis to discover the real world within and around you.

Yours truly

Learn To Control The Thoughts

Dealing with Complexity

I was thinking how some people so easily go for the simple answer for most complex problems. People like Dr. Phil have made a million with this as a philosophy to help people.

I'm personally amazed how easily some peoples eyes GLAZE over when I start trying to explain a problem that is only SLIGHTLY complex.

Call me cynical but it only supports my belief that, in general, people are unwilling to think. They want to experience world in one small spoon fed slurp.

The possible up side of this is simple: if you want people to do things give them simple understandable step and glaringly opaque reasons for doing them.

I'd love your comments.

Mind Control Forum - Using Mind Control To Persuade People To Accept Your Ideas

You might think that mind control stories belong to the same category as fairy tales. However, these stories are not just for amusement purposes only. These stories are very real and can be applied to your everyday life.

Take my case for example. I have long been practicing mind control techniques and have published quite a number of articles on the subject.

However, I realize that it might be difficult for a regular person to understand it in an academic context. So I have decided to share with you one of the mind control stories revolving around one of my young cousins. Out of the handbook and into real life, so to speak.

I was very glad when my cousin made good use of the persuasion and mind control techniques I’ve taught him, involving the one he used in the situation below:

At school, he has a habit of coming up with a lot of ideas. Unfortunately, his classmates sometimes don’t bite into it because of all the extra work it would entail.

One day, during a brainstorming session for a school fair, a fabulous idea entered his mind. Knowing how his classmates would probably react to the extra work, he came up with another idea—something more complex and that required more effort from them all.

When the time came to pitch his ideas, he suggested the more complex one first. Naturally, the students turned it down, not wanting to do too much. Then, my cousin cleverly sneaked in his original idea. Everyone seemed to be more accepting of it.

I’m sure you know where I’m going with this mind control story. What my cousin did was to first ask for something more than what he really intended, before asking for his original request.

Why is this mind control technique so effective?

1) People generally tend to accept something more if they know you tweaked it to their favor. This is sort of like haggling with a vendor.

2) They tend to compare both ideas; so when the complex one was presented first, the second less complex one seems a lot easier to do.

3) People tend to comply with a smaller request after they rejected a bigger one. That’s because they feel that you have given them a concession, which they will try to reciprocate.

Since my young cousin showed that some persuasion techniques are innate in us, I’m pretty sure you would do well with this strategy too. Aren’t mind control stories like this simply fascinating?

Chemical Mind Control: Spray said to turn people to pushovers

May 21, 2008
Courtesy Cell Press
and World Science staff

Re­search­ers have iden­ti­fied brain cen­ters acti­vated by be­tray­al of trust—and a way to keep them quiet.

A spray of a hor­mone, ox­y­to­cin, makes peo­ple keep trust­ing even some­one who has be­trayed them, the scientists ex­plained. They presented the findings not as a trick for, say, cheat­ing spouses to keep their part­ners coop­erative, but as an in­sight into the mind with possible cli­ni­cal value.

Thom­as Baum­gart­ner of the Uni­ver­s­ity of Zu­rich and col­leagues said their work could help re­veal the brain wir­ing be­hind trust and pos­sibly the ba­sis of so­cial dis­or­ders such as pho­bias and au­tism. The find­ings are re­ported in the May 22 is­sue of the re­search jour­nal Neu­ron.

Amygdala activation, shown in red in a cross-sec­tion of the brain in an fMRI image. (Cou­rtesy NIMH Cli­n­i­cal Brain Dis­ord­ers Branch) The in­ves­ti­ga­tors asked vol­un­teers to play a “trust game” in which they con­tri­but­ed mon­ey to a hu­man trus­tee, who would ei­ther in­vest it and re­turn the prof­it­s—or be­tray them and keep it all.

Some play­ers al­so re­ceived a na­sal spray con­tain­ing the brain chem­i­cal and hor­mon ox­y­to­cin, found in pre­vi­ous stud­ies to make peo­ple more trust­ing.

The re­search­ers found that stiffed play­ers who had re­ceived ox­y­to­cin went on trust­ing their treach­er­ous part­ners. Play­ers who had re­ceived an in­ac­tive spray in­stead of ox­y­to­cin did not.

Ox­y­to­cin was al­so found to re­duce ac­ti­vity in two brain re­gions: the amyg­da­la, which pro­cesses fear, dan­ger and pos­sibly risk of so­cial be­tray­al; and an ar­ea of the stria­tum, part of the cir­cuit­ry that guides and ad­justs fu­ture be­hav­ior based on re­ward feed­back.

These ox­y­to­cin-as­so­ci­at­ed changes, re­search­ers said, oc­curred only when play­ers be­lieved an ac­tu­al per­son was mak­ing the de­ci­sions about their mon­ey. The changes did­n’t oc­cur in a sep­a­rate “risk game,” where sub­jects were told a com­put­er would ran­domly de­cide wheth­er their mon­ey would be re­paid or not.

Play­ers’ brains were scanned us­ing func­tion­al mag­net­ic res­o­nance im­ag­ing, or fMRI, a tech­nique in which harm­less mag­net­ic fields and ra­dio waves are used to mon­i­tor brain ac­ti­vity by map­ping blood flow in the organ.

“Our in­sights in­to the neu­ral cir­cuit­ry of trust adapta­t­ion, and ox­y­to­cin’s role in trust adapta­t­ion, may al­so con­trib­ute to a deeper un­der­stand­ing of men­tal dis­or­ders such as so­cial pho­bia or au­tism that are as­so­ci­at­ed with so­cial deficits,” the re­search­ers wrote. “In par­tic­u­lar, so­cial pho­bia (which is the third most com­mon men­tal health dis­or­der) is char­ac­ter­ized by per­sist­ent fear and avoid­ance of so­cial in­ter­ac­tions.”

The work “has sig­nif­i­cant im­plica­t­ions for un­der­stand­ing men­tal dis­or­ders where deficits in so­cial be­hav­ior are ob­served,” wrote psy­cholo­g­ist Mauri­cio Del­ga­do of Rut­gers Uni­ver­s­ity in New Jer­sey, who was not in­volved in the re­search, in a pre­view in the same is­sue of the jour­nal. Fear of be­trayal, for ex­am­ple, “could serve as a pre­cur­sor to so­cial pho­bia,” he con­tin­ued, adding that the ox­y­to­cin find­ing sug­gests “po­ten­tial clin­i­cal ap­plica­t­ions.”

Note By Dantalion Jones:
One can speculate on what could be possible with a chemical cocktail of oxytocin, MDMA and a benzodiasapine... The Oxytocin creating a sense of trust, MDMA a feeling of connection and the benzodiasapine reducing any feeling of anxiety.
Just thinking aloud.

Humans Have Astonishing Memories, Study Finds

Humans Have Astonishing Memories, Study Finds
By Clara Moskowitz, LiveScience Staff Writer

If human memory were truly digital, it would have just received an upgrade from something like the capacity of a floppy disk to that of a flash drive. A new study found the brain can remember a lot more than previously believed.

In a recent experiment, people who viewed pictures of thousands of objects over five hours were able to remember astonishing details afterward about most of the objects.

Though previous studies have never measured such astounding feats of memory, it may be simply because no one really tried.

"People had never tested whether people could remember this much detail about this many objects," said researcher Timothy Brady, a cognitive neuroscientist at MIT. "Nobody actually pushed it this far."

When they did push the human brain to its limits, the scientists found that under the right circumstances, it can store minute visual details far beyond what had been imagined.

Those circumstances include looking at images of objects that are familiar, such as remote controls, dollar bills and loaves of bread, as opposed to abstract artworks.

Another factor that seemed to help was motivation to do well: The participant who scored highest won a small prize of money (the researchers refused to say exactly how much).

"You have to try," said MIT co-author Talia Konkle. "You have to want to do it."

The study, funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship, and a National Research Service Award, was detailed in the Sept. 8 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In the experiment, 14 people ranging from age 18 to 40 viewed nearly 3,000 images, one at a time, for three seconds each. Afterwards, they were shown pairs of images and asked to select the exact image they had seen earlier.

The test pairs fell into three categories: two completely different objects, an object and a different example of the same type of object (such as two different remote controls), and an object along with a slightly altered version of the same object (such as a cup full and another cup half-full).

Stunningly, participants on average chose the correct image 92 percent, 88 percent and 87 percent of the time, in each of the three pairing categories respectively. Though 14 subjects may not sound like a huge sample, the fact that they each recalled the objects with very similar rates of success suggests the results are not a fluke.

"To give just one example, this means that after having seen thousands of objects, subjects didn’t just remember which cabinet they had seen, but also that the cabinet door was slightly open," Brady said.

Even the researchers didn't expect quite such high recall rates.

"We had the intuition that it might be possible, but we were surprised by the magnitude of the effect," said study leader Aude Oliva, also of MIT. "These numbers, higher than 85 and 90 percent, impressed us and also impressed a lot of people who heard about the work."

So now that we know the brain's memory is so fantastic, are we all out of excuses for forgetting friends' birthdays?

Luckily not, Brady said.

"To some extent it's about attention, actively encoding specific details into memory," he told LiveScience. "If we tried really hard we actually could remember when someone's birthday was: if you say to yourself, 'The birthday is on this day and that relates to these other things that I remember.'"

Basically, he said, we can remember most things we put our minds to, if we invest enough attention and effort into trying to store them in the first place.

Craziness

I was going through this on line manual called "Transformational Dialogues" and because I see SOOoooo much craziness in the people around me I instantly gravitated to this article.

It's a good article when you are dealing with clients and their craziness. When dealing with other people who aren't paying you it's best to shut up, walk away and don't look back. This depends, of course on their degree of craziness.

A process facilitator needs to have a considerable tolerance of craziness.

Most of what we handle is illogical. Feelings and ideas are used out of context. People are doing things that don't really make sense at all in their current situation. They are apparently acting completely contrary to what they want. They are reacting to things that aren't there. They base their actions and reactions on hallucinations in their mind and don't look at what is really going on. They manufacture non-sequitur rationalizations on the spot to back up what they are doing.

First of all, you need to be able to spot this. You need to recognize when things don't make sense. You don't have to tell anybody, but you need to notice it for yourself. "Hm, that sure doesn't add up."

Don't fall into the trap of rationalizing along with your clients. That would be a very big disservice for everybody. Don't find good and "logical" reasons for why the client is screwed up. "Well, no wonder he is nervous, his father beat him when he was a kid." "Of course she is angry, somebody stole her parking spot."

What you are looking for is the stuff that doesn't make sense. You will ignore the opportunities for rationalizing and you will maintain for yourself that it doesn't make sense. And then you will pursue the senselessness deeper and deeper until you find a basic senselessness that is easily correctable. You would go "That is wacko, why is she doing that?" and you would get the client to look at it and talk and tell about what is there. And eventually you uncover the misunderstanding or misplacement that started the illogic. "Aha, that's why she is doing it" And when the client realizes it, she can easily correct it.

You don't judge the client and you don't invalidate her. So, when you notice some illogic, you are not going to judge it as good or bad. You aren't going to say "Look at that idiot, she is really crazy, she is going to be a hard nut to crack." You notice that her behavior or her thinking is illogical. You don't put it down, you just notice it. And you always keep the client's basic personality out of it. It is something she is doing not something she is We will always assume that the person is basically sane, and when she understands what she is doing, she will clean it up.

So, you are continuously on the lookout for crazy behavior. But you will have a loving attitude about it. You will accept that it is there without having to judge it. But you will also help the person uncover what lies behind her behavior. You will simply help her getting a full picture of what is going on, no matter where we are starting from.

If the client says "The table is made of green cheese", and it sure doesn't look like that to you, you don't say "No it isn't , can't you see?" You say "Oh really, can you describe it?" You get her to perceive more, and give more details. You never invalidate what she perceives. Any perceptions are valid, even if they don't agree with yours.

When the client says "I am filled with sorrow because my mother died 5 years ago", you don't say "That's just old stuff, snap out of it!" It is indeed very illogical to go around pretending that one is effect of something that happened 5 years ago, replaying old feelings in totally different circumstances. But we won't put it down. We will be interested in how she managed to do that. You will have her describe the sorrow, and you will have her go back and re-experience her mother's death to find out what has not been completed. If we look enough at the whole thing, the pieces that are out of context will snap back in their right places and the whole thing will be handled.

- Having feelings that don't fit the current situation is illogical.
- Operating out of ideas rather than the actual situation is illogical.
- Disagreeing with oneself is illogical.
- Hiding one's abilities from oneself is illogical.
- Making oneself limited is illogical.

The best attitude the facilitator can have is one of kind fascination. Being genuinely interested in how come people act and think the way they do. Noticing the things that don't make sense and tracking them down, finding out what is behind them.

Craziness is really very, very interesting. Everybody has many crazinesses in their lives. Your job is to notice the little crazinesses that everybody else aren't noticing. And then work with those crazinesses with no judgment, but with great interest. Find out how they work, find out what makes them tick. Work with the client in finding out what is really there. And once you both know what is really there, there is no more craziness.

Hypnotic Language Pattern Q & A and Critique

From: http://persuasionartist.com/2008/09/26/hypnotic-language-pattern-q-a-and-critique/

I also love it when budding persuasion artists ask me to grade their persuasion homework. In this post we are going to analyze hypnotic language pattern one of my readers sent me.

Here is a comment Drew left on my article “How to Create Your Own Hypnotic Language Patterns”.

“Hi, i found your site and i’v read your ,create a hypnotic pattern article a few times(10x) and i’v been playing around with your ideas.This is one of my efforts could you check it out.thanks. These hot steamy summer nights can cause you to naturaly feel warm and comfortable.the more comfortable you feel the more you can realize that you can relax and feel

safe with this person. apart of you can just feel that this is so right.

you find yourself feeling drawn to this person and underneath this feeling is a need to feel connected and feel that you are apart of something bigger, something good with this person. love your site” - Drew
This is a great job Drew my kudos to you, here are some ways I would enhance what you are doing to be even more persuasive.

1. I would tell a story.

Stories are the sneakiest tool in your persuasion arsenal because they sneak in the back door of someone’s unconscious mind. Stories allow you to say things you wouldn’t normally say and start topics that might be on the surface beyond the boundaries of the conversation. Even a story as short and sweet as “I was talking to my friend the other day and he said X”

2. Re: hot steamy summer nights

Depending on what you said before this and depending where you are at in the conversation/ persuasion process this might sound a little cheesy. At least when you say it first, because if you are still in the connection phase, which I assume you are because you ended the pattern talking about connection and feeling safe, hot steamy summer nights is overtly quite sexual.

Don’t get me wrong anything can work in the right context, ANYTHING, but in this context it felt out of place.

Notice how I start out with simple, and innocent suggestions and they build, and become stronger to the point where I go from drinking tea into body pleasure.

3. I would use more embedded commands:

I need to write some more about embedded commands, but a quick and easy start is when you say them, drop your tonality so the stand out say them with total congruence. To do this go into the state a little for yourself. If you are embedding the commands JUST RELAX feel a little relaxation yourself.

4. Use a Theme:

I love what you have done, but to make it even better have some type of topic that you can hide all the language patterns in.

You did it a little with the hot steamy summer nights, but then you went into cause and effect which could works, but after that it became a little pattern heavy. I’ll have to write another post on persuasive themes, but in the mean while know that if you use too much language patterns it can come off as creepy, Having some type of theme is always good .

What I try to do is have a topic, like relaxation is a topic, dreams, swimming, dancing etc. and then embed the patterns inside of this theme.

Check out what I did here:

The other day a friend of mine Angelina and I were talking and she was telling me about this great tea house in Pasadena called “Bamboo Tea House” and what she said is that it is one of her favorite places to go because it is easy to JUST RELAX and FEEL GOOD. Naturally you can JUST REALX anywhere but this place was different she joked saying maybe its something they put in the tea or maybe it’s the relaxing environment, as if JUST SITTING THERE CAUSES YOU TO RELAX. NOW it was almost as if even talking about it made me want to GO THERE.

But you know what is really neat is how just as she was describing it I was able to EXPERIENCE THOSE GOOD FEELINGS of relaxation. NOW, you know what its like when you can just go somewhere in your mind. How a part of you can be here with me talking having a good time while another part of you can go inside and imagine other things.

Maybe even things that make you FEEL REALLY GOOD And talking to you as an open minded person, I wonder what would happen if you found yourself imagining that warm relaxing feeling. And felt it in a way that the more you imagined it them more you can feel that warm relaxation enter your body, and you know how your mind can wander from thought to thought to the point where you are imagine yourself in a relaxing steaming hot bath or shower, just feeling all that warm relaxation just gently caress every part of your body, almost as if there are tiny needles of pleasure dancing all over your body.

It’s the kind of experience that can make YOU FEEL REALY CALM, REALLY SAFE. DON’T YOU just wish you could GO THERE NOW?

It also can make a person think of how when we can relax with other people.

(then I would expand the pattern into the connection pattern as you did)

I love what you said about being a part of something bigger, very artful language keep up the great work, you are definitely on the right track
