Listening to
Alex Jones talk about Glenn Beck using techniques developed by Army psy-ops has made me remember this thread...
I'm looking over the 60 page document again, and I'm struck by a paragraph on page 8:
"Dr. Erickson discovered while working as a therapist, that he could hide therapeutic hypnosis within the normal content of an inconspicuous conversation with the patient, and avoid much of the patient’s conscious resistance that normally accompanied hypnotherapy... Dr. Erickson realized the subconscious mind was always listening, and understood better than anyone before how to access it, and implant suggestions into it. What Dr. Erickson did was figure out how to put people into trance and hypnotize them and implant suggestions with seemingly normal conversation. He discovered that people could achieve this heightened state of hyper-suggestibility without the traditional difficultly-induced coma-like state traditionally associated with hypnosis. Th[r]ough his pioneering understanding, he was able to do the same and much more often with simple plays on words and embedded meanings in a single sentence."
Plays on words and embedded meanings...
I think it behooves us to be aware of this stuff.
Here is a YouTube video on the topic:
