    Yes.

    And you can look it up on Wikipedia.

      Young man...
      There really is hypnosis. And it works because of how our brains process information.

      A good definition of Hypnosis is just that the subject believes what the hypnotist is saying, without critical thought. Everything comes from that. Eventually, the subject just relaxes the critical part of the brain.....and you end up reacting as though what the hypnotist says is true. You just accept it.

      Think of all the irrational behaviors and beliefs we see in the world. In a way, are are all hypnotized in one way or another. It's only when someone accepts your version of reality, on stage or in a clinic, that we call it hypnosis.

      But much of what I did in selling, could be called hypnosis. When I got there, they believed one thing, and when I left, they believed another thing.

      Using NLP is a form of hypnosis.

          Kid's TV is what is typically playing in the background in my house. And this commercial has been on constant loop, playing every commercial break, at least 6-8 times an hour (so it seems), round the clock.

          I swear they're using some sort of hypnotic technique... Not sure what the intended response is supposed to be, but I'm starting to feel twinges of hate and rage whenever the tune enters my ear holes.

          Actually, I would get, "When you first came in here, we absolutely positively had decided to buy from you...today. We had our checkbook out, and were ready to write you out a check without asking for any discount. We were sold"

          And then..

          "Claude, you completely destroyed any idea we ever had about wanting to do business with you. We hate you. You should never call yourself a salesman again. Even our dog hates you. You define incompetence. You have even made us hate all salespeople...and our son is in sales. You have made us hate our own son. We are going to buy a gun, and shoot the next guy that tries to sell us anything. We hope you die. Please stop selling. You may eventually destroy the life of someone we love...just like you destroyed our lives."

          And I say,"So....do we have a deal?"


          This story encapsulates my entire sales career.

          You do realize what Claude actually does for money, right?

          Claude's $800,000+ Empire


          For those who don't know, "Claude" is a French (Latin) name.

      ... I know what you meant, hypnosis shouldn't be considered science.
      But for some reason I had an urge to attempt to prove you wrong,
      I don't know why??

      Last thing I remember ...I was reading a PM from Claude, something about
      a Sci-Fi movie... Now I feel the need to argue with you and Kurt?

        There have been plenty of studies done that show the benefits of hypnosis. It is guided relaxation that produces a highly relaxed state similar to meditation. It can't make you think you're a chicken. It can help you do things like change habits, build self-confidence, etc. You can become a board-certified hypnotherapist.

    When I was a child, my parents booked me in for hypnosis for my extremely bad behaviour. It did not work on me but when you are "hypnotised" the time goes unbelievably quick.

  • I figured one time mebbe I could hypnotize myself by mirrorin' the action of the classic swingin' pocket watch with my own eyeballs.

    So I stood before a mirror an' looked left, right, left, right, left, right, an' chanted some mantras to myself.

    I will quit bein' moody.

    I will quit bitin' my toenails.

    I will date Matt Damon, even though he is clearly the worst kind of hypnotist.


    Thing is, you cannot see your eyes movin' in a mirror.

    You see yourself momentarily & most of the time you're not lookin' at you, so that kinda bombed as a strategy.

    I took hold of the mirror an' tried followin' my eyes with it, but then I was jus' lookin' at me with my eyes still, by which time I was too narky to be mesmerized.

    But I will work this out, I know it.

    Your method gonna work way better than the "Cosmic Master".

    Man, that guy's page is an eructation of adjectival schwango by which I am beguiled not.

    *pauses to wiggle toes*

    Man, I'm gonna have this all day now, I know it.

    Damon is down there, nibblin' away like a squirrel on a nut.

    Sensation I got right now is how I guess people who lost an arm or leg feel sometimes.

    Missin' limb syndrome.

    Only this is Additional Him Syndrome, an' it is way cooler.

    All I gotta do now is figure out how to walk normal.

    Oh yeah, it's in the hypnosis mantra we hit on.

    Left, right, left, right, left...

    Hypnosis is a process to advance the mind to its ultimate potential.

    It can be used to ramp up your sales figures, become a dexterous personality and discard limits about yourself.

    I use and recommend the Cosmic Master and his hypnosis site.

    I noticed the effects of using hypnosis slowly build up to a much desired level. My sales increased as a byproduct and the perception for life boosted dramatically. I consider myself a happy camper in the realms of cyber evolution.
