Mental Control

This is a translation of the text "The battle for your mind" (The battle for their mind). It tries on the use of technical massive of mental control and who writes it he/she seems to know of what he/she speaks. Given their extension has been divided in three parts.

I am Dick Stuphen and this it is an an extended version of the chat that took place in the world congress of the Society of Professional Hypnotists in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Although I have been interviewed about this topic in many radio radio stations and TV local and regional, the communication to great scale seems to be blocked, since it could be a suspicion or investigation of the same means in that he/she spreads or of the sponsors that finance it. Some government agencies don’t want that this information spreads. And neither the born-again movements and Christian cults and societies of formation of human potentials.

All that I will expose doesn’t reflect but the surface of the problem. I don’t know how it can stop the wrong use of these techniques. I don’t believe that it is possible to legislate against that that, frequently, it cannot be detected; and if those that legislate are using them, there are few hopes of applying the laws to the government’s behavior. I know that the first step to begin the change is to generate interest in it. In this case, it can only arrive of the non official efforts.

Speaking of this topic, I am speaking of my own means of life. I know it, and I know the effective thing that it can end up being. I am producing of hypnotic tapes and with subliminal messages and, in some of my seminars, I use tactical of conversion to help the participants to end up being independent and self-sufficient. But, every time that I use these techniques, I notice that I am using them, and participant people can choose if to attend it or nr. Also know the result that it is necessary to expect from their participation.

So, to begin, I want to leave clear the most basic in the facts on the brain laundries: IN THE HUMANITY’S HISTORY, NOBODY HAS SUFFERED A LAUNDRY OF BRAIN AND BILL HAS BEEN GIVEN, OR HE/SHE HAS BELIEVED THAT WAS SUFFERING IT. Who have passed in and of itself for rule general they defend their manipulators passionately, assuring that they only have them "taught the Luz"…. or they have been transformed somehow miraculous.

The birth of the conversion

CONVERSION is a word "kind" to designate the LAUNDRY OF BRAIN… and any study about the brain laundry should begin with the study of the Christian resurgence in the America of the XVIII century. Seemingly, Jonathan Edwards discovered the techniques accidentally during the religious crusade of 1735 in Northampton, Massachussets.
Inducing blame feelings and sharp apprehension, and increasing the tension, those "sinners" that attended their resurgence meetings they finished being broken and undergoing completely. Technically, what Edwards made was to create conditions that cleaned the brain so that the mind accepted a new programming. The problem was that the new orders were negative. He/she could tell them: "You are sinful, you are dedicated to the hell! ". The result was that a person committed suicide and another tried to make it.
And the suicide’s relatives counted that they were also so affected deeply that, although they had found the "eternal salvation", they were obsessed with the diabolical temptation of putting an end to their lives.
Once a preacher, or a leader of a religion, a manipulator or a figure with authority believe the phase in that the brain can empty and to be clean, their victims are totally open and receptive. New instructions, in form of suggestions, they can substitute to their previous ideas.
As Edwards he/she didn’t send positive messages until the end of the resurgence, many accepted the negative suggestions and they acted, or they wanted to act, according to them.
Charles J. Finney was other Renaissance Christian that used the same techniques later four years in mass religious conversions in New York.

The techniques are still used by Renaissance Christian, cults, professors, companies, and the army of the United States, to mention alone some few ones.
Allow me to point out here that I don’t believe that most of the Renaissance religious realizes that they are using technical of brain laundry. Edwards simply insisted in a system that worked really, and others didn’t make more than to copy him and they follow it making later two hundred years. And the more sophisticated it is our knowledge and our technology, more effective it is the conversion. I am deeply convinced that this it is one of the main reasons of the increment of the Christian fundamentalism, especially in their television variety, while most of the conventional religions declines.

The three phases of the brain

Although the Christian were the first ones in formulating with success the brain laundry, we must look at Pavlov, the Russian scientist, to obtain a technical explanation. In the first years of the XX century, its work with animals opened the door to ulterior investigations with human beings. After the Russian revolution, Lenin vió quickly the potential of the application of the investigations of Pavlov to their own ends.
Pavlov identified different and progressive three stadiums of the inhibition transmarginal. The first one is the EQUIVALENT phase, in which the brain gives the same answer to weak or strong stimuli. The second are the PARADOXICAL phase, in which the brain responds more actively to the weak stimuli than to the strong ones. And the third are the ULTRA-PARADOXICAL phase, in the one that the conditional answers and the behavior patterns pass of positive to negative or of negative to positive.
With the progression through each phase, the conversion grade becomes more effective and I complete. The forms of getting the conversion are many and varied, but the first habitual step in the laundry of religious brain or politician is to work with the individual’s emotions or of the group until they reach an anomalous level of anxiety, fear, excitement or nervous tension.
The progressive result of this mental condition is the decrease of the go out of one’s mind capacity and the increment of the suggestion. The more stay or intensify this condition, more it is increased. Once the catharsis, or first cerebral phase, the complete conquest of the mind is reached it is easier. The programming mental pre-existing can be replaced by new thought patterns and behavior. Other used weapons frequently to modify the normal operation of the brain they are the weigh loss, the radical or high diets in sugar, the physical annoyances, the regulation of the breathing, the one recited of mantras in the meditation, the exhibition of astonishing mysteries, special goods of light and sound, the scheduled answer to the incense, or intoxication for drugs.
The same results are gotten in the contemporary psychiatric treatments with electroshock or with the deliberate decrease of the levels of sugar in blood injecting insulin.
Before speaking in the exact way in that some of the technical ones are applied, I want to point out that the hypnosis and the conversion techniques are two different things and that the conversion techniques are much more powerful. However, both they are used at the same time, frequently with powerful results.

How the Renaissance preachers work

If he/she wants to see a Renaissance preacher in full task, in their city there is probably several. Go early to the church and feel in the part of behind. Drawer, a repetitive music will be played while people go arriving. A repetitive rhythm, ideally of 45 at 72 "blows" per minute (a near rhythm to that of the human heart), it is very hypnotic and it can generate altered states of the conscience in a high percentage of people. And, once you is in state alpha, it is been at least more suggestible 25 times that in state beta of full conscience. The music is probably the same one in all the services, or he/she has the same rhythm, and many people can fall in altered states of the conscience as soon as they enter in the church. Subconsciously, remembers its mental state in previous services and they respond of agreement with the post-hypnotic programming.
Look at people while he/she hopes the service begins. Many show external signs of trance: corporal relaxation and lightly extensive eyes. Often, they balance ahead and behind sat down in their seats. Then, the priest enters. And he/she usually speaks with a "smooth voice."

The technique of the smooth voice

The "smooth voice" it is a repetitive and rhythmic style used by the hypnotists when they want to induce a trance. They also use it many lawyers, some of which hypnotists are consummated, when they want to introduce an idea firmly in the mind of the jury. The smooth voice can sound as if the speaker was speaking with the rhythm of a metronome, or as if it was emphasizing each word with a monotonous and repetitive style. The words are habitually pronounced to a rhythm from 45 to 60 per minute, maximizing the hypnotic effect.
Then, the priest begins the process of "construction." It induces an altered state of the conscience and/or it begins to excite the listeners. Then, a group of young women with "sweet and pure" gauze dresses usually come out to sing. The songs Gospel is stupendous to create excitement and to make that the listeners you IMPLY. In the middle of the song, one of the girls can be "possessed by the spirit" and to fall to the floor or to act as if the Sacred Spirit was in its interior. This increases the intensity very indeed in the room. In this point, the hypnosis tactics and of conversion they are being blended. And the result is that the attention of the audience you point in the communication as the atmosphere becomes more excited or I tighten.

More or less in that moment, when a state mental collective alpha has been gotten, it is when they pass the hamper of the donations. In the background plane, the priest’s smooth voice can exhort "you Give to God… you Give to God… you Give to God… ". And the assistants give. He/she can that God doesn’t take the money, but its representative yes that him ago. Then the priest appears "lowering." It induces the fear and it increases the tension speaking about the "devil", "to go to the hell" or of the vicinity of the end of the world.
In the I finish marathon from this type to which attended, the preacher he/she spoke about the blood that soon would flow of each mouth in the earth. It was also obsessed with the "bloody lance of God" that all had been hung on the pulpit the previous week. I don’t have any doubt that all they saw it. The power of the suggestion given at hundred of people in the hypnosis assures that at least of the 10 to 25 percent of them will see any thing that I/you/they are suggested that they must see.
In most of the Renaissance meetings, "to testify" or "to be witness" it usually continues to the sermon based on the fear. People of the auditory get up and she relates her histories. "It was handicapped and now I can walk! ". "He/she had arthritis and now he/she has been treated! ". They are psychological manipulations that work. After listening numerous cases of histories of miraculous cures, the middle rate of the audience with a smaller problem is convinced that it can be cured. The room is loaded with fear, guilt, intense excitement and expectation.
In that moment those that want to be cured join around the room, or they are said that they leave to the front. The preacher can play them firmly the head and to scream "Healthy! ". This liberates the psychic energy and, for many, it is the catharsis. The catharsis is the purge of the pent-up emotions. Some individuals can cry, to fall to the floor or even to have spasms. And if the catharsis is made, they have a possibility to be treated. In the catharsis (one of the three cerebral phases mentioned previously), the brain is empty temporarily and the new suggestions are accepted.
For some, the cure can be permanent. For many, it can last incidentally from four days to one week that is, what the hypnotic suggestions given to a fellow in somnambulism state last. Even if the cure is not durable, the turn of these people to the church every week it assures that the suggestion power will annul the problem continually… or sometimes, sadly, it can mask a physical problem that will harm the long term individual.
I am not saying that they don’t happen true cures. They happen. He/she can that the person was clever to leave aside the negativity that caused the problem in principle; she can that I/you/he/she was work of God; But I believe that they can be explained with the current knowledge of the operation of the mind/the brain.
The techniques and the representation can vary from church to church. Many use "the gift of languages" to generate the catharsis in some people while the show believes intense excitement in the observers.
The use of technical hypnotic for the religious it is sophisticated, and the professionals assure that they are more and more effective. A man in Los Angeles is designing, building and remodeling churches of the whole country. He/she tells the priests what you/they need and how they should use it. This man’s experience says that the audience and the revenues of the congregation will be duplicated if the minister follows their advice. It admits that around 80 percent of their efforts they go to the system of illumination and sound.
A potent sound and the appropriate use of the illumination is of first importance to induce an altered state of the conscience. I have been using them during years in my own seminars. But my participants are noticed fully of the process and of what you/they can wait as a result of their participation.
