Uncle MythMan says ...

Not all hypnosis is "bad." Clifford Mee explains; I outline my understanding below:

"Hypnosis" is just another way of 'learning.' But one ought to regularly inject oneself with the 'vaccine' (which I 'reveal' in the last part of this recording), in order to stay 'in existence with our loved ones' AND remain free-thinking humans.

When the manipulator slams down a pattern and you start following it, your judging mind switches off (while you're fed information that you normally would not accept).

'Hypnotic facts' are those bits of information (true or false) which you receive without being conscious of them. Again, the fact that 'you're often hypnotically entranced while you hear them' does not make the manipulator- or the information-evil; but it does make you a slave to it if you do not 'Part 8.'

Mass-media can drain your personal will-power from you, but you can still safeguard yourself from its harmful messages while still hanging in there for its enlightening messages. First–whenever you sit-down/tune-in for a show, -concert or -movie–remember what you are there for, and what the stars/producers are there for.

Do the same for every new advertisement etc. Then ...

Reason-out every message you receive ... whatever 'proofs' they seem to offer, only consider them with the clause 'it is possible that ...'

But the only "definite" facts are those you personally witness; all the rest–like I said–are strong ideas (that might even be reaffirmed by your family and friends).

Emotions are not reasoned! There might appear to be a reason for them–and there is, in a way–but your mind is the one-and-only source of your emotions!

You ask someone for advice about something; he gives it to you, and it turns out to be good advice; so you ask him for advice about something similar; then something less-similar, then less and less ... until you're trusting him about something in which you actually have more expertise!

But you keep going to him; why? repeated yes-pattern. His advice is giving you a repeated 'yes,' and you're not getting that from yourself. The same goes for the 'yes' you get from sources without the authority.

The 'yes' or any 'fact' you hear (consciously or embedded in your subconscious).

Knowing all this, you can choose which messages you want to embed in your mind and which you want to dismiss as another '80% Statistic'-joke.

For example, you can choose to see that HotForWords Marina Orlova Ph.D. is well-worth whatever you choose to give her (whether it's merely your 'heed,' all your love or some of this pretty paper that usually represents a prosperous effect of your contribution to the world), or you can ignore HotForWords Marina Orlova Ph.D. and go on living just a little less-enlightened than those who pay heed to her wisdom.
