Hopefully he's not came to a tragic ending. Anyone got any guesses. Maybe he moved to Malibu to covertly entrance the rich and beautiful for profit and pleasure? Perhaps he was/is a professional hypnotherapist, and had to take a different road, leaving the internet hypno pervs be. Perhaps 20 years a...

I was thinking of memories that were not obviously false. Like say a memory of a chance encounter leading to a sexual experience with one of the famous or powerful. The memory could be of an encounter that goes well, and of the next morning, where both parties decide for some significant reason not ...

Would it be possible to implant false memories, that can only be remembered at a specific later date allowing the hypnotist several sessions to reinforce the implanted memories with such precise definition and clarity that eventually the subject really can't tell what was real and what was not? I'm ...

Consciousness is slippery.

Somewhere in the world, a primate was taught sign language. The first thing it signed was "That guy is shit".

Makes you wonder.

I still think there's a link between trancing and screwing up of the English.

Unadvised by who, and why exactly? My guess that's the general advice out there because most meds/drugs cause problems getting in and staying in trance. But that's not the case with Ritalin for me. Nor do I think trance effects only my spelling and grammer this way. I've seen post in the forum here ...

Sarnoga. I get the need to keep a relative level of anonymity due to the nature of this site, and the nature of the users, that and your obvious enjoyment of a good mystery. But I find your work fascinating, and I've thought a lot about the real person behind it... My honest guess.... Late 30's, ear...

Yeah, this seems to happen with any good trance. Whether it's just an induction, a hypnotic story, or something laced with my favorite flavor of perversion. Normally when I go into trance, I go really deep cause I'm on ritalin. I never loose consciousness, just normally find myself seemingly floatin...

Has anyone noticed any problems writing after they've been in a deep trance? Normally, my spelling and grammar isn't all that bad, but if I've tranced earlier in the day, my emails/posts are crap. I can make as much sense as I normally do (no smart ass remarks, please) but not anywhere near as eloqu...

No offense taken. You don't know me. I get there are really abusive hypnotist out there. A sicker part of me gets a bit of a kick reading about that messed up stuff they've tried to pull off when it inevitably makes it to the media. There's even a few juicy bit's in Erickson's wiki page. But you hav...

Do hypnotically implanted mental images of me with Claire Danes count?

And yourself?

Another way to look at it, what if you're not really here, but in some form of an unusual coma that started several years ago after a traumatic incident you can't remember, and you've been in a waking dream ever since with your mind compensating for the lack of physical and visual stimulation by inc...

I guess the nature of hypnosis would stick one in another's fantasy. But if you meant more "stuck in" than "stuck into", that's always a fun thought. There's the idea that PKD played with, that the only Christians that were to ever have eternal life were the earliest Christians, and religion there a...

Whats that? The irony of outkast painting himself as abusive by vehemently denying that he is? There's various levels of abuse, I'm sure you would agree. Some might like the idea of being abused, without the actual abuse. There's playful abuse. Stir-fryed abuse, cajun abuse, abuse scampi, abuse cock...

Ohh Sarnoga... I appreciate your contributions. Your content is witty, and your craft is expertly honed. We're all very privileged you're part of this community. But I must say, I really can't wrap my mind around where you get these ideas, or what you and your world is like in meatspace. I just woul...

What if someone wanted an abusive 'tist, say someone who had something you desperately wanted in return?

Practice makes perfect. I think the key is to turn off your internal dialog, and focus on the words entering your head. It's not like being asleep, but more like if your consciousness is a flashlight, then trance is like adjusting the beam to a very small point. A comfortable setting, and sound bloc...

Kind of surprised no one has mentioned this... Obviously the hypnosis in the movie went awry, but I see no reason why a similar idea wouldn't work in real life... A hypnosis file to suggest productive alertness at work, and nearly complete amnesia of it once you walk out the door. I need it, I work ...

On some. Rabbits are easy to trance. Just flip them on their back and pet their face and chest. It's incredibly pointless though, aside from seeing how long you can get a rabbit to remain frozen in place...

But the bigger issue, hypnosis and trance aren't the same thing.

If you don't think you can be hypnotized, you should talk to a professional hypnotist.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Erickson found people who resisted trance were actually easier to put under.

That's the nature of capitalism and economies of scale. The rich get richer, faster. And the poor, unless with some extreme stroke of luck, stay poor. There's alot at play right now. You have the over leveraged banks, and a world flirting with trading oil in Euros, instead of USD. I think it's inter...

Maybe if it happens again, you should try to allow your consciousness to stand up, leaving your body behind.

Could be an awesome start to a lucid dream.

I'll second Tanya's suggestion. Try it out and see what you think. Everyone's different, maybe it'll work for you. I think for most though, alcohol, benzos, and narcotics inhibit trance. At first I figured they would help too, but I tried them out, and they didn't. However, I was really surprised ho...

There are only a few worth mentioning really. Unfortunately PS2 seems to have more hits for it... God of War II Silent Hill 2 and ESPECIALLY 3, "The Room" scared the crap out of me. And when I learned they got alot of inspiration for the movie Jacob's Ladder, how could you not love it. The old SOCOM...

It's a cool idea, but ethically (maybe even legally?) the subject would need to know their session was being recorded/broadcasted. And then you're going to have other factors at play, like playing to the camera, or some of the limitations of stage hypnosis. You know, the subject is going to feel pee...

If you haven't heard of an Ericksonian handshake induction, wikipedia and you tube are good sources to see what it's about. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_H._Erickson#Handshake_induction]Link to M.H. Erickson's wiki[/url] Obviously there must be some potency to this method or it would have...

I'll second that. Moderation in all things, including moderation. But it's a moot point though. All religion has been created and written down by men who claimed devine intervention. It's not reasonable to insist one is right and the rest are wrong. They all have the same probability. And that fact,...

I've got a hunch the end of time is going to take forever. But if time came to an end, would we even notice? If we don't have a reference for it, you know. Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed we'll make great pets for our robot overlords after the singularity, but last I checked that's not pr...

The answer to this question is no?

And just what would happen if Pinnochio said "my nose will grow"?

So the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafele%E2%80%93Keating_experiment]Hafele-Keating experiment[/url] proved that time can sort of be manipulated. If you decrease your velocity relative to the world, you will experience more time than the world. And if you increase your velocity relative to the...

Ever wonder if you've been covertly inducted into trance and suggested with some detail to imagine a picture of the Hypno Toad from Futurama?

Sorry, next time I'll make sure the hypnotic suggestion includes the reverberating electrical noise that corresponds with hypnotoad - that really makes it.

Of course its in Florida.... [url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/florida-high-school-principal-lied-hypnotizing-students-died/story?id=13966704]Link to ABC Story on George Kenny[/url] Here's the story about the Florida High School principal who hypnotized as many as 75 students and staff in his school, so...

Easy there big boy. I'm unarmed. There is some work when it comes to a mortgage. The lender has to carefully evaluate the risks, and more importantly, they have to come up with the funding. Which isn't easy, unless you've been doing loans for some time. I'll admit, I don't think there is any defense...

I get debt does indeed create money. And it is pretty much right out of thin air. But so does a farmers market. Provide the right conditions for the right seeds, and months later dress up like a hillbilly and you too can have people give you money for food that didn't exist before. And essentially o...

You will wake up later and remember nothing of this message thread, or of michal. Everyone knows this was all cleared up earlier...

I agree, I was reading too much into it. But isn't that the truth though, that perception is reality. Really think you're lucky, and you'll find examples all day that support the notion. I like to believe there's more out there than there really is. I like to think there is some kind of dirty evil c...

Yup, thats it. With the colon and the bulleted list, and the first example in the bulleted list not being an example at all, but a badly written explanatory note. The suggestion I gleamed from it, is that covert hypnotic induction in the media is TV fakery. In other words, "nothing to see here, folk...

First thing, under the Help With Files forum, there is an announcement at the top by DKaiser that will probably answer alot of your questions. But I'll still share my two cents, even though I am far from an expert on the subject. Part of being hypnotized is allowing yourself to go into trance. It wo...

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_hypnosis#Covert_hypnosis_in_the_media[/url] If your looking for it, it might not work as well. But I think there is actually a thinly veiled attempt at covert hypnosis on the wikipedia page about covert hypnosis. How cute is that? With the punctuation and str...

Yes, and I've been thoroughly enjoying them. I love the longer length trances. I transcribed Dreaming. That was an experience. I can keep pace typing with your voice for the most part. Before I cleaned it up, you could see from start to end how my spelling and punctuation got looser and looser as my...

Really is forever the weeks most popular author...

But I can't find a thing he's done?

A strange program on a strange server?

How possible is it? Any opinions? Obviously there's some level of trance when reading a good book and hours fly by, but would it be feasible to get deep enough to make suggestions? And would it be possible to do it without someone's knowledge? I have no use for it, I just find covert hypnosis fascin...

Thank you all. It doesn't sound good, but that's just the way it sounds. I sleep fine, these issues only bug me when trancing. It's probably the ritalin I take. I'm sure if I went to see the family doc about it, he'd probably just tell me to stop trancing. But I think at some point it might be worth...

In a darkened room trancing, I can't make up my mind which is better. If I try to keep my eyes closed, I wind up with one eye half open, and one shut. If I try to trance with my eyes open, then they both get invariably squinty. It's a bit troublesome, kind of like becoming aware of the position of y...
