Hi Taylor!

Thanks for your feedback regarding the hypnotic language usage you observed when at certain religious meetings I won't mention here out of consideration for any members of this site who may be members of those groups.

A appreciate the help, I know you're busy :-)

Modeling The Master Hypnotists

So, I considered not posting this but you guys deserve to know what’s out there.

Most of you that learn hypnosis, you think you are learning the best and the greatest tricks and techniques. "Oh, now I know instants! Wow!"

And I have to laugh because it’s such a superficial level of development. Not to be offensive, because everybody’s got to start somewhere, but there’s definitely greater and better things to be learned.

Like hypnosis in conversation. But even that is simplified and dummy-proofed and you generally only learn the basics. I’ve largely stopped listening to what people say and I look at their behavior instead. I look at how they explain concepts. The pre-talk is a great example of this – a lot of newbie hypnotists spend no time learning how to give a good pre-talk because they’re basically in it for ego. And, I hate to tell it to them, but they’ll never learn how to become great like that.

A person who is able to get people to accept what they are saying as true, or to shift someone’s reality so thoroughly that they can’t go back to the way they were before… THAT is the power of "hypnosis."

After I listened to a few powerful courses in a row, my whole life started to become unraveled. It was amazing just how much stuff was stirred up in me. It was MANY levels beyond simple "embedded commands" or suggestions. To think that most people have trouble with the simple stuff, shows you just how incompetent most hypnotists are.

I looked at people who have studied with Dobson among other people, who studied with Erickson, who essentially learned his trade by modeling others and asking useful questions at a professional level of reality. Each of them have their own unique contributions.

But, if we were to teach what really works, we would have a bunch of teenagers ripping off our stuff and going to try it as their first technique without learning the basics.

People ask me, “Taylor, when are you going to have a training with your most powerful techniques?” and I laugh… Because it will NEVER happen, there’s no way. It would only ever be in a closed-door, off-camera training where I’d probably have to hand-pick the participants. Even then, I have serious reservations about it.

You want to learn how to do instants? Fine. You want to learn how to embed commands, and anchor things to yourself, and how to use language to confuse people and in a tricky way? Cool, you can get there.

But…What if you were to focus, all of your power, all of your congruency, and your energy, to be able to get to the place where someone makes changes?

What if you took all those limiter switches off yourself and you started to communicate much more freely?

So let me give you an idea of what I have studied, and the types of things I consider to be REAL hypnosis.

I have studied all of the “greats” that I know of. I did research on Napolean, Alexander the Great, Henry Kissinger, Winston Churchill... I read about Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, Christopher Hyatt (who wrote a very powerful book called Undoing Yourself), Franz Bardon, Aleister Crowley… I dissected the techniques of ritual magick and military training practices.

I went back and read the sources cited in Greene's 48 laws of power and replicated some of Cialdini's experiments.

Of course I had to trace NLP back to its roots: Erickson, Bateson, Mead, Korzybski, and so on.

I studied religious practices, and the differences in affect that exist in tradition versus conviction. I went to all of the churches, temples, mosques in the area and I TOOK NOTES. I noted what happened when someone spoke -> what was the chain of command? I wrote down every presupposition I could find in the environment. What was happening with the body, what was happening with the mind, what was happening with the spirit?

I spent a couple months traveling and going to cult meetings to get a feel for how the whole thing was accomplished. I attended alternative medicine groups and "meditation centers." I went to Moonie gatherings and watched Rev Sun Moon being broadcast on TV and given awards by congress. I sat in on the meetings of Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. I’ve even met a few scientologists!
.

Next on the menu is dissecting EFT and merdians, and gearing my language so that it is DOWN RIGHT simple.

I came out of all of this with an undeniable understanding of how people become convinced.

And, I lost my objectivity at just about every step. That’s why I don’t care if you go do it, because chances are you’ll go join a cult and the experience itself will act as an ethics filter :)

So if you wish to believe that you are somehow intimately protected by the critical factor and that it is always on until you voluntarily assume hypnosis…

Well, I’ll be here laughing the next time you watch a commercial and find yourself driven to buy it, the next time you respond to social cues, the next time you feel yourself having to be nice to people, to make eye contact and talk in coherent sentences, standing the right distance away from them, or dressing a certain way…

My main intent in this post is to have you all wake up and realize that you don’t know anything yet.

I’m not saying that I am the world’s most powerful hypnotist.

But, what I am saying is that you are more powerful than you realize. You have abilities that are beyond how you know things now. As Marianne said, It is not our darkness that scares us the most, it is our light.

New Years Resolutions Hypnotic Script / Patter

Hey everyone!

As you know I run a hypnosis blog at Trancedout.com. A couple years ago, I posted some New Years Resolution patter that can be used to help people with their resolutions. Just recently a guy named Funn Eller replied to my article, with his own version of the patter, which I thought I should share with you here!

Here is what he wrote:

Goal Setting Hints

Here are some helpful hints for setting goals... Note these are just guidelines.

The first is the SMART goal setting acroynm:

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely

Your goals should be as specific as possible. "I want more money" is not a good goal, because I can hand you a penny and that goal is satisfied, but that's probably not what you meant. The goal should be measurable, in other words you need to have a way to determine if you are suc… Continue

Josh will be back on the site soon

Hey everybody,

Just wanted to let you know that Josh hasn't been able to get on lately because he had a fire in his house, and his hypnosis chair, and two of his computers were totally destroyed. He lost all of the stuff that was on those computers, so he's been unable to log into his account here.

He says he can still read the site, and sends his best wishes, so if you want to leave him a note just reply to this post and he'll get it.

Taylor
