Introduction
Without doubt, there are few things in life that are as important for a person to learn as the art of persuasion, and this is exactly why our ancient civilizations have cherished it so much. Persuasion is important because people are everywhere and are a part of everything. This means that in some way, shape, or form, that people are going to be a part of your goals and objectives. You must work with them, go to school with them, and depend on them to buy products from you. This exciting field of hypnotic persuasion has taken on several different forms and has come a long way over the years. This means that there is already a lot about the topic of persuasion that we already know, and it also means that there has already been a lot said about the various styles of persuasion and the latest fads. However, no matter how much we already know about persuasion, or no matter how we try to define persuasion, it cannot be denied that persuasion is like a giant puzzle that has many different pieces to it. There are linguistic pieces to the puzzle, strategic pieces to the puzzle, and elementary pieces to the puzzle—all of these pieces to the puzzle are important.
This Disguised Hypnosis program present s the art of persuasion in a fresh and innovative way so that everyone can learn more about the art of persuasion without having to relearn the same things that are already out there, or without having to unlearn those pieces of the puzzle which they appreciate. Disguised Hypnosis embraces many ancient principles of persuasion that have been forgotten, such as the principles that were established by Machiavelli and other political theorist. People have been using persuasion to get what they want for a long time, and because persuasion is an art that is based upon timeless principles, we know that the same things that were happening then are happening now. The game has not changed, only the players have changed. One of the most important concepts to consider while a person teaches the art of persuasion is the concept of time. It can take a lot of time to read a book about persuasion, and because people often do not have a lot of time to read about and study persuasion, this User’s Manual was written for the purpose of quality and not quantity. You will easily learn from the principles of this User’s Manual quickly, and the more you read and meditate upon them, the more you will learn from them in different ways. These principles are merely clay, and because you are the potter, you possess the power to mold these principles into different solutions and powerful decisions as often as you wish. Quality is more important than quantity. .
“The Non Position” (A Lesson for Session One)
One of the most important principles of the martial arts is “not fighting”, and “not fighting” is what introduces us to the concept of prevention. It does not matter how good of a persuasion artist you may be, if you are careless and get trapped in a position that you cannot escape from, you have entered the “non position”. The non position is simply the place where we cannot be, because to be there would mean certain defeat. This is an important principle to consider, because prevention is on many occasions even more important than talent. Skill does not only involve defense or offense, it also involves a type of nothingness where nothing is needed. So, by using your skill for nothingness, you are practicing prevention because nothingness and prevention are one and the same. You should not to allow your skills in persuasion to get you into a bunch of problems. Instead of becoming a persuasion artist to win conflicts, it is far better to become a persuasion artist in such a way that you can avoid conflicts from happening. So begin each and every relationship and social interaction with the end in mind.By beginning with the end in mind, you will be able to prevent divorces, break‐ups, and several other bad things from happening in a relationship because you have from the very beginning prevented the circumstances and events that lead to these things happening. You also will be able to prevent people from resisting your influences in such a way that you overcome their objections before their objections have a chance to emerge. As you consider the “non position” in this way, it is simply an act of preventing your relationships and social interactions from entering the position where you will need to fix them and defend them. It is more effective to prevent sickness than it is to cure sickness. Another variation of the “non position” is a position that cannot be fixed and that cannot be reversed. An ancient saying says, “If one fool drops a stone in a river, than one hundred wise men cannot get it back”. The “non position” from this perspective is where you do not want to be and where you cannot be. If you are there, then you are defeated. Social interactions are extremely delicate, and it doesn’t take too many blunders and mistakes to quench even the most powerful persuasion skills. This means that you can ruin the chances of getting a loved one to forgive you or of getting a customer to trust you—no matter who you are or how hard you try to persuade them. You also do not always have to put yourself into a position where you are dealing with other people. These are the times when you are not trying to exert your time and effort trying to persuade. So, just because you are a persuasion artist doesn’t mean that you need to persuade everybody to do
everything. This is another variation of the “non position” where you simply let people come and go as they please.
“The Half Step” (A Lesson for Session Two)
When I was a young man learning a dangerous form of kung Fu (the Southern Praying Mantis), I was extremely disappointed when the first technique I learned from the master was “The Half Step”. I was instructed to keep my feet on the ground and slide half steps forward and half steps backward. What made matters worse was that I was already trained in another martial art where I had learned several “fancy” techniques that were far more impressive than The Half Step. I felt like I was wasting my time and that the master wasn’t who he said he was. Part of me thought that if I was really getting taught one of the most dangerous types of martial arts in the world, that I wouldn’t be doing some stupid half step. People who saw me training even made fun of me and asked me what I was doing. When I told them I was practicing Kung Fu they didn’t believe me, “What does that have to do with Kung Fu?” they would ask me. Those who were on the outside thought even less of the half step than I did. Nevertheless, day after day I practiced the half step for at least an hour as the master had told me. Sometimes I would askthe master to show me something different, and all the master would do was show me a different variation of the half step. Many students quit studying under the master because they didn’t like the door. The door that the master always caused his students to enter his training through was the half step. What usually happened is that a student would study with the master for a few days, and then they would despise the master and his type of Kung Fu because they despised the half step. The idea of the half step didn’t make sense to them, and because many of them never endured, they would never be able to understand the half step. After I had learned the half step, along with several other techniques, I began to see how important the half step was. An art cannot survive without the basics, and the half step was not only an ingenious foundation to build a fighting system upon, it was also something that caused the martial artist to be extremely dangerous in a fight. In fact, this half step was so devastating when it was combined with the other techniques that the powerful techniques could not be what they were without the half step. It is difficult to illustrate the importance of the half step on paper, but it is easy to learn from this story the importance of the basics. I suppose that we should also point out the importance of the little things. It is the little things that enable all of the big things to happen. This same rule applies to persuasion. You cannot master
persuasion or be effective in the persuasion process if you do not understand the half step. It is the simple things that will enable you to practice the complex, so you must understand that simplicity is a form of complexity, and that complex theory is nothing more than a combination or extension of simple steps. This is a crucial lesion to keep in mind, not only as you persuade people, but also as you manage groups. If you were to tell most people who were interested in the power of managing groups how it all begins with a half step, they would most likely not believe you or they would not fully understand the importance of the half step. Oftentimes people are only willing to tolerate the half step for a short period of time, and this impatience is what prevents them from profiting from the half step. The basics are never ending. This isn’t to say that the basics do not take on new forms, but no matter what forms the basics take on, the basics are still there so you must continue to acknowledge them and to respect them. The more time you spend with the basics, the more powerful your extensions of the basics will be. So, even though a group may be large, a group is not controlled by large techniques. A group, figuratively speaking, is controlled by the half step. I think that in the art of persuasion that everything is like this when you think about it. It seems as though almost any type of relationship is created through the half step. Lovers, friends, enemies, and acquaintances, are created through the half step when you fully consider the principle. Stop searching for techniques that are large and fancy. Instead, search for the basics and how you can practice the basics to mastery.
The persuasion artist who has the firmest grasp upon the basics is who is destined to win.
“Crowding” (A Lesson for Session Three)
In the martial arts, there is the crowding principle. The concept of crowding involves the practice of taking away your opponents fighting space. By taking away their fighting space, you take away their ability to defend themselves and to attack you. You do this by crowding them. The concept of crowding is in many ways against conventional wisdom. Conventional wisdom teaches us to stay as far away from our opponents as possible. There are also many schools of thought that teach you to fight your opponents from a distance. But the further you are from your opponents, the less opportunity you will have to control them. As a rule, if you can touch your opponents then you can control them. All of this can be achieved through crowding. In the context of persuasion, crowding is seen all the time but it is seldom recognized. When sales forces create urgency and try to get you to make a buying decision before you are ready to make one, this is a classic example of crowding. They tell you that if you do not buy their products immediately that the price will go up. Or, they stack other consequences one on top of the other and warn you about how you will experience them if you do not buy their products right then and there. The reason why this is a form of crowding is because it takes away your time to think. One of the most important elements inpersuasion is time, and if you can take away people’s time then you are figuratively taking away their fighting space. When people are rushed, they are crowded, and when they are crowded, they make mistakes. Class systems must be crowded in order to be breeched. Take away their fighting space, and by doing so you will take away their power to resist you. The more alliances you have within a class system, the more that class system will be crowded. But with class systems, the alliance game may not be enough because your alliances may be socially conditioned to keep you at a distance so that you cannot enter their ranks. This is where the concept of pressure comes in. You must put pressure on your alliances in order to breech their class systems through them. When you do this, you are turning your alliances within the class systems into gatekeepers. And as gatekeepers, they will open the doors for you so that you can enter their class system. You do this by pressuring them, and you pressure them through crowding.
“Switching” (A Lesson for Session Four)
In the martial arts, we have the concept of switching. If one technique is not working, then instead of trying to force that technique to work, what we do is abort that technique and switch to another technique. Switching is very powerful because is gives you freedom to change, and because you can change you can always find a way to win and get what you want. So, as we consider strategy, we must fully consider this concept of switching. If you are trying a large technique, and this large technique isn’t working, then what you can do is switch to a smaller technique. Or you can switch to a different large technique. It is your choice of how you decide to switch, but in a way you are allowing your opponent to lead you. Each time one of your strategies fails, your opponent is leading you to an even better strategy that will defeat him. This is why in the martial arts it is best to be soft so that your opponent has the power to defeat himself. This is an important concept to consider, because in life there are many who are their own worst enemies. This is why the martial arts teach you to fight your opponents in such a way that your opponents defeat themselves. If you are willing to let go of what isn’t working, then you will be empowered to embrace the strategies that will give you want you want. You let go and embrace through the principle of switching. Switching is the technique that we use to turn failure into success. What many people do not know about switching is that there must first be a beginning in order for it to occur. This means that you must initiate something in order to make something happen. You cannot wait for things to happen. You must make things happen. And if what you want to happen isn’t happening, then you must switch strategies
in order to receive a different outcome. In a way, as you consider the concept of switching like this, switching is like the four seasons. One of the seasons must first be born in order for it to die, but as soon as it dies the season switches in that another season is reborn. This also becomes a cycle. In the context of persuasion, it is easy to see how switching applies to the art of getting what you want from other people. If the opposite sex is not responding to you or treating you how you want to be treated, then you must change yourself and the communication models you are using to communicate with the opposite sex. You cannot do the same things and expect different results, so you must switch. As you communicate towards the opposite sex in a different way, it is guaranteed that the opposite sex will respond to you in a different way. Switching enables you to fail until you succeed.
“The Void” (A Lesson for Session Five)
In the martial arts there is the mystery of the void. The void is misunderstood by many people because they do not see its potential. The void is where nothing exist, and because there is nothing there, a void is created that can be filled with something that you want to happen. Instead of struggling and trying to make things happen so that you can get the advantage, by doing nothing you will make more things happen than if you were trying to make them happen. If your opponents do not understand the void, then it is easy to use the void to defeat them, because they will make mistakes in the void.There are many different circumstances when you should abide in the void. If you’ve done all that you can do, to the extent that doing more would be to do too much, then you must go to the void. The void will protect you from losing control of the situation. This is like when you plant seeds in the soil. After you have prepared a place for the seed, planted the seeds, and then gave the seeds proper nourishment, all you can do is go your way until the seeds grow of their own accord. You must enter the void where there is nothingness in order for things to happen. In Taoist philosophy, this is referred to as the way of the farmer. The farmer has different seeds that will produce different crops, but the farmer rest as much as he works. This means that the farmer practices doing nothing just as much as he practices doing something. When a farmer practices, he is sowing seeds and nourishing them. When a farmer does nothing, he is waiting for the seeds he has sown to grow. In persuasion it is always like this, because after you have sowed the seeds of your suggestions into a person’s mind, you must go your way and let things happen of their own accord. If you try to force your ideas and suggestions to take root before it is time, then you will lose your labor and not see the results you are hoping to see. So in persuasion you must be as inactive at times as you are active. And being inactive is embracing the void. The void is powerful, and all forms of power in some way are connected to the void. This means that those who are gifted and powerful in one way are not powerful in some other ways. So power and talent are always connected to a void. The void is nothingness, and when we depart from our
boundaries, there is the void. This is like a lion who is the King of the jungle. There is no void when the lion is in his territory. But when the lion enters the ocean, his power has come to an end and he has entered the void. The void can work for you or against you, but by simply being aware of the void you will be empowered. In some way or another, the void is always a part of a person’s life. So by knowing the void and understanding it fully, you can strengthen yourself and weaken others. Or you can strengthen yourself along with others. It all depends upon your interpretation of the mystery of the void.
“Entanglement” (A Lesson for Bonus Session on Seduction)
Success can be your worst enemy in the martial arts, because it is difficult to depart from a technique that has brought us victory in the past. In many cases, this interferes with our consistency and long term success. One of the most important principles to keep in mind about entanglement is that everything is wrong. Even if something isn’t wrong now, it may be wrong later. And even if something has always worked for you, this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have the potential to be wrong in the future. Your best friends today can become your worst enemies tomorrow. In seduction, entanglement is almost always a problem. Some men get entangled with doing one thing so much that they forget to do other things. Or at times men will do the same thing over and over to the same woman, and eventually she loses interest because she builds tolerance to the technique.Another problem with entanglement is that the sexes always think that they can judge all members of the opposite sex based upon what one member of the opposite sex has done. Or we may think that what both worked for and pleased one member of the opposite sex will please all members of the opposite sex. This is not true, because women, even though they are all women, are unique individuals who possess different strengths and weaknesses. They all have different fantasies and are driven by different needs and wants. Therefore you can assume nothing in seduction. All you can do is begin the procedure, and as the procedure unfolds, her character will unfold along with the procedure. There are no winners, and there are no losers, there are only participants. Those who participate will understand the way, and those who do not participate will not understand the way. It is this simple. But as we consider this along with the concept of entanglement, we can understand that it is not good to get entangled with too much study or with too much theory. Theory is inferior to experience, because theory gives you ideas of what can be done but experience teaches you what to do and what not to do. So to understand the way is to travel the way, and if you travel the way you will find the woman you are looking for. But no matter what type of woman you find, you must not become entangled with the way that brought you to her. Different women require different ways. A fisherman must also not become entangled with the bait he uses. The bait that catches fish is not the same as the pole that reels the fish in, and the pole that reels the fish in is not the same as the net that is using to remove the fish from the water. You must then carefully remove the hook from the fish’s
mouth. And after all of this you must clean the fish and then prepare the fish for your nourishment. This entire process begins with the bait, but it does not continue or finish with the bait. This reflection of the fisherman teaches us many things. For one, the techniques that you use to capture a woman’s interest and attention must not be the same tools you use to attempt to keep her interest and attention. The way of the fisherman shows you that each step requires different methods and techniques in order to successfully bring the procedure to the next method. Men do not like the bait they use to catch fish…likewise the tools and techniques that work to catch women do not appeal to men. The bait is only appreciated by those whom it was prepared for. This means that you ought not to entangle yourself with whether or not you like the bait, because all that matters is if the fish will like the bait so that the fish are willing to take it.
The Transcripts for the Audio Program
Track One (Open) Welcome to session one. In this session you will be introduced to the power of Macro persuasion…the top of the food chain. You will discover the top five ranking persuasion systems in the world that have a consistent track record of leading people to the heights of power and success. You will learn about foundations, groups, class systems, social strategy, and power. And you’ll also learn a lot more… Track Two Welcome to Disguised Hypnosis, this is the pre‐talk for session one. Now, before I begin to talk to you about the exciting field of persuasion and about what you can expect from this program, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for investing in this course and giving me the opportunity to share with you what I have learned over the years about the persuasion process and the most effective ways to get what you want from other people. Now, as many of you are already aware of, there are several different types of hypnosis, such as clinical hypnosis and stage hypnosis. Disguised hypnosis is the type of hypnosis that this program is about, and because Disguised Hypnosis is the most covert form of hypnosis available, it is an almost invisible empire of persuasion. There is already a great bit of material out there about language patterns and the techniques that hypnotist use within clinical settings to create change work in other people, and some of this material is actually very good if you are interested in using hypnosis for therapeutic purposes, but Disguised hypnosis is an entirely different form of persuasion that focuses on the timeless principles of human behavior and the use of social strategy more than it focuses on language patterns. Hypnosis is thousands of years old, but it wasn’t only until a few centuries ago that hypnosis was invented for therapeutic purposes. Disguised hypnosis, on the other hand, has been around since the history of man, and examples of it can be found in politics, public speaking, sports psychology,leadership, and seduction. In fact, one of the most well known communities who use disguised hypnosis is the seduction community. Disguised hypnosis is accidentally happening all of the time around you through marketing companies and through commercials, and some of the most famous celebrities and political figures have in one way or another been using disguised hypnosis to become who they are and to maintain their social statuses. Disguised hypnosis is literally involved in any form of persuasion imaginable, which is why it is one of the most important forms of hypnosis to learn. Track Three So, why am I doing this? Why am I giving you this information and why have I put together this Disguised hypnosis program. Well, for one I believe that everyone has the right to have the same opportunities that everyone else in life has. I believe that regardless of our status and regardless of how much money or good looks people have, that they all have the right to be treated fairly. Unfortunately, the society in which we live does not treat everyone fairly. Our society does treat people differently based upon how they look, how much money they make, and what type of job they have. So, because I want everyone to be able to improve their lives in any environment that they happen to be in, I have developed this disguised hypnosis system. You will be able to take control of real life situations so that the societies around you will collapse their realities into your realities and see you the way that you want to be seen so that you will be treated the way you want to be treated. Disguised hypnosis is one of the few systems of persuasion available that can help anyone …anytime. What if you could learn how to use disguised hypnosis in such a way that all of your social interactions improved? What if you could make the gatekeepers your friends so that they were always willing to open the doors for you? What if you could understand human behavior so powerfully that you could almost always get what you wanted from others? What if you were able to raise your social value in any environment that you happen to be in so that you are always respected and treated fairly?
Remember, disguised hypnosis is the art of persuasion, and persuasion is the only necessary tool that sales forces use to get more sales and that people use to attract the opposite sex. Persuasion is also the tool that people use to elevate their social status and to get more of what they want out of life. Track Four Disguised hypnosis is common in everyday life, so let me give you a few quick examples of disguised hypnosis in action: Imagine a very beautiful woman walking past a group of young men. Now, even though these men may be busy or even though they might be in the middle of a conversation or doing something important, they will all most likely be in a sort of trance as she walks by. They would be attracted to her. They would be curious to her. They would even most likely be willing to do her a favor if she would ask one, and if she dropped something there is a good chance that they might stop everything that they were doing so that they could help her pick it up. Now, notice how persuasive this woman was and notice how much attention she absorbed without even saying a word to any of the young men. And yet even though she didn’t say one hypnotic word to them, they all had a hypnotic experience as they went into a type of hypnotic trance. Now, just like a beautiful woman doesn’t need to say anything to put people into a trance, so also Disguised hypnosis doesn’t need specific words or hypnotic phrases to create a trance, and this is one of the main reasons why it is hypnosis in disguise. Other examples of Disguised Hypnosis are when one public speaker is controlling a crowd of thousands of people through both verbal and non‐verbal language. Or when an unattractive man is surrounded by beautiful women at a nightclub Or when a football team is grouped up in a circle psyching themselves out for the big game ahead of them
Or when an ordinary person becomes a world leader even though the odds were totally against this person ever attaining any form of greatness Now, these are only a few examples of Disguised Hypnosis, but anytime you’re witnessing power…anytime your witnessing social strategy or charisma…and anytime you are witnessing the varieties of success that happen to human beings as a result of their skill to influence and persuade other human beings…you are witnessing Disguised Hypnosis. Track Five Now, this disguised hypnosis program is also a no‐non sense persuasion system. This means that you are going to learn reliable principles and techniques that are practical and that work in real life situations. You are not going to learn about questionable strategies that are difficult to learn and difficult to put into action. You will instead learn timeless strategies, principles, and systems that have been used for centuries to effectively persuade people. And because the art of persuasion and the art of acquiring power can be likened to a game, it is necessary for some people to win at this game as much as it is necessary for other people to lose. For example, in order for someone to get elected into a political office so that they win the election, there must also be other people who are not elected into this political office so that they lose the election. So, in order for there to be winners there must also be losers. The reason why I am telling you this is because throughout this program I refer to ways in which you can defeat your opponents. This is simply the way persuasion is, the art of persuasion is a game and it’s far too important of a game to take seriously. So don’t worry about having enemies or about facing the reality that enemies in your life may actually exist.
The word enemy is derived from the Greek language, and simply means, “Not a friend”. You will be far better off acknowledging that these people exist so that you can identify them and begin to defeat them. If you think that you don’t have any enemies, go out and make a couple of them so that you can begin to compete in the persuasion area. Remember, persuasion is a game, and in order for you to play this game you must have opponents whom you are playing against. I don’t know if your opponents are going to be an unfair boss at your workplace who won’t give you the raise you deserve. I don’t know if your opponents are going to be your co‐workers who don’t treat you fairly and who gossip behind your back at work. Only you can answer who your opponents are. Now, because this Disguised hypnosis program has been defined as a no‐nonsense persuasion system, I want to tell you what this program is for and what this program is not for. This program is designed to give you leverage over your opponents. This program is designed to give you a solid understanding of the persuasion process so that you will be fully equipped to get what you want and so that you will be able to obtain and secure for yourselves better jobs, a better life, and more respect in whatever social environments you happen to be in. So because this program is more than capable of equipping you to psychologically defeat your opponents, this program is also excellent for helping you with crisis management during the times when the crisis’s you face are directly the results from other people. This program can also be likened to a psychological martial art, and just like you wouldn’t learn a martial art to harm your family and friends, so also this program is not designed to be used against those whom you love. Instead this psychological martial art was developed to deliver you from the schemes and unnecessary resistances of other people, so that you can prevent yourself from being dominated by someone else’s will.
And as you increase your own security, you will also secure the peace and happiness of those around you as they will have your wisdom and success as a shelter to take refuge in if and when the difficult times come. So, disguised hypnosis, like a firearm that you have the right to bear, is not to harm the household but to protect the household. Track Six Now, this program deviates a great deal from the status quo of the other hypnosis and persuasion programs that are currently being circulated, this means that you are about to learn original content that is not another version of the status quo. The status quo in persuasion right now is to teach people hypnotic language patterns that they can use to persuade other people so that they can master the art of persuasion and get what they want. The status quo wants to rely solely upon using hypnosis conversationally, but I have no interest in preserving the status quo. Instead of teaching you clinical hypnotic language patterns and techniques that you can use to persuade people, I have rather used hypnotic language to teach you about the art of persuasion. This means that I have combined the words of power, advanced hypnotic language foundations, power loops, storytelling, extended quotes, presuppositions, language softeners, hypnotic personal power, and a ton of other hypnotic linguistic patterns and techniques into the construction of these Practical Persuasion Systems in order to effectively communicate to you the topic of persuasion on both conscious and unconscious levels. This means that instead of using hypnotic language as the weapon with which we persuade other people, hypnotic language will rather be the vehicle that is used to deliver this information and insight that pertains to the topic of persuasion so that you will learn the information in this program quickly and easily and be able to master the persuasion process. So, while it isn’t practical to base the entire art of persuasion upon hypnotic language patterns, it is practical to use hypnotic language to teach people about what the persuasion process is about. Hypnosis is the most advanced form of communication in the world, and by utilizing the abs formula, hypnosis enables us to communicate valuable information on both conscience and unconscious levels. The ABS formula simply means that we absorb someone’s attention, bypass their critical factor, and then stimulate someone’s unconscious mind through suggestions. This ABS formula can be witnessed in any form of Disguised Hypnosis, in that Disguised Hypnosis always has the ABS formula built into it. This
is why disguised hypnosis is witnessed in so many different facets of life such as public speaking, marriage and youth counseling, along with dating and seduction communities. Track Seven Now, because some strategies are more effective than others in the art of persuasion, what we need to do is focus upon what really works and not waste our time and effort on trying to do things that do not give us the consistent results we are looking for. If we wanted to, we could liken the art of persuasion to a game of chess, and in the game of chess one of the most important things to do is to control the center of the board. This means that, although there are several areas of the board we could control, that we are only going to worry about controlling the part of the board that matters most. So, how do we control the center of the board? We control the center of the board by doing the least amount of things that will give us the most results. When we control the center of the board, we are being practical and efficient. Now, the more techniques and information that you try to learn and memorize, the more you will be weighed down on the battlefield. So, in the art of persuasion, less is more. And it really doesn’t matter if you’re considering celebrities, politicians, famous public speakers, or anyone who is successful and powerful, because none of these people are using fancy language patterns to make themselves who they are. Instead all they are doing is either accidentally or intentionally taking advantage of a few practical persuasion systems that work. In fact even the most powerful seductive communities do not rely heavily upon language patterns anymore. So, like those who have already had success and like those who are currently enjoying success, we also will keep our focus on the center of the board by learning how to understand and put into practice those things that will truly benefit us. Track Eight
Now, I’d like to share some terminology with you that will sort of warm you up a little bit to some of the things you are about to learn. These terms will give you more insight as the sessions of this program continue and can be worked in with everything you are about to learn: The terms are prevention, chain cycles, the exchanging process, social value, and reverse order. Now, let’s talk about the principle of prevention. You see, many programs tell you the importance of getting out of jams and situations, but they never tell you the importance of not getting into these jams and situations in the first place. It is sort like teaching someone to learn how to escape from a straight jacket, when it would be far better to teach them to learn how to avoid getting put into a straight jacket in the first place. Now, this idea of prevention brings up another important point that I need to make, because there are some situations and positions that you cannot persuade your way out of, and this is why it is necessary to understand the importance that lies behind the principle of prevention at the beginning of this program. This means that you will not be able to persuade someone if you have treated that person so harshly and left them with so many scars that they don’t want anything to do with you anymore. Now, at times we must make sacrifices during the persuasion process, but if you need to come back to a person that was on your persuasion chain to persuade them again, then you don’t want to make it difficult on yourself by leaving that person scarred . So from your starting points think about prevention. Think about how you can prevent yourself from putting yourself into a situation where it will be nearly impossible for you to get through to somebody. A lot of people study persuasion to get their old girlfriends back who they have left deeply scarred or hurt, or they study persuasion with the hopes of fixing virtually unfixable situations. Now, I’m not saying that bad situations cannot be fixed, but that they are much more difficult to fix and that they may not be able to be fixed. This is why from now on I want you to begin to integrate the idea of preventing yourself from the need of fighting uphill battles that you are most likely to lose. The idea of mastering the art of persuasion is not only to be able to fix the problems that are the result of poor social skills, but also to be able to use persuasion to stop a lot of these problems from ever emerging in the first place so that you will never have to worry about fixing them.
Now, in order to do this, one of our main focuses must be on human behavior, because humans are the gatekeepers. If you can persuade the gatekeepers to open doors for you, then you can go in and out wherever you wish and live the type of life that you want to live. So, regardless of whatever else we may study, we must focus upon how to persuade the gatekeepers to open doors for us. We must also consider who the gatekeepers are allied with by taking into consideration the other groups and individuals that they are connected to, because by taking into consideration who the gatekeepers are connected to, we will have several different routes into their minds this way so that we can influence them to not only open doors for us but also to close doors on other people who are competing against us. Now, if we make the gatekeepers angry with us, we will be fighting an uphill battle, and this is why we must focus upon prevention in order to prevent this from happening. Track Nine The next principle involves the idea of chain cycles. Chain cycles represent the various social interactions that are involved in a particular social process. A social process simply means that as soon as any set of social interactions begins, that a process has begun. Now, what is important for you to know about processes is that you cannot persuade people without them. A chain cycle enables us to look at each relationship or process of social interactions within that relationship as a chain. There are the beginning links of the chain, the middle links of the chain, and the end links of the chain. So, we begin the social interaction, we maintain the social interactions and transition them, and then we close the social interactions. Now, each time you complete one chain cycle you can move on to a fresh chain cycle the next time you communicate with that person which will have new possibilities that the old chain cycle didn’t have. So, chain cycle leads to chain cycle.
You do not need to try to do all of your work on one chain cycle and just as you can create chain cycles towards a better relationship with someone, that you can also create chain cycles towards a worse relationship with a person. So if you want to develop a positive relationship with someone whom you can integrate with your persuasion processes, make sure that you are respecting each link on the chain cycle and that you are using the chain cycles that you have available to transition into more powerful chain cycles so that as the social process continues you will have much more leverage to be persuasive in that relationship. Now, it’s Ok if you don’t understand exactly where I’m coming from right now. What is important is that you begin to look at persuasion as a process and not something that happens instantly. It is for this reason that we must take into account so many different angles and approaches that we can use to begin processes that will eventually give us more of what we want. Now, after we establish one process, we can use this process to create more process. What I have just told you is referred to as the exchanging process. Let me give you a brief example of the exchanging process: Let’s assume that you have begun to talk with someone at your workplace on a frequent basis. Well, when this happens you have now established process, and you can use this process of talking at work to exchange phone numbers so that you begin another process of talking regularly on the telephone. And then you can use this process of having conversations on the telephone to going out on dates. Then, you use the process of dating in public places to create another process of dating in private places, and then you can use this process to create other processes. Track Ten Now, this was one of many examples of the exchanging process in action. But notice how one process created the other processes, and imagine how each chain cycle was used to create more chain cycles. Now, there is another variation in which the exchanging process is used that involves the exchanging of social value.
But before I tell you a little bit about this, let me first tell you what I mean by social value. Social value is value that is attributed to you by other people in any social environment. So, the more social value that you have, the easier it will be for you to persuade people. The more social value you have, the less resistance you will encounter from other people. Now, there are many ways to add social value to yourself that I will talk about with you through this program. But what did I mean when I told you about using the exchanging process to exchange social value? Well, as soon as you have social value in one environment, you can exchange the social value that you have for social value in other environments. An example of this would be when a police officer enters a fortune 500 company to ask some questions. Now, the very fact the police officer has social value in the police force will cause almost everyone who he talks to in this fortune 500 company to treat him with an unusual amount of respect—even though he has absolutely no rank whatsoever in this fortune 500 company. Now, I realize many of you may not be police officers, and that’s fine. The point I am making is that social value can be exchanged, and I will elaborate on this further as the program continues. For now just be aware that social value does exist and that we can use it in our own lives to make the persuasion process much easier. Social value is exactly what makes celebrities so influential that people who they don’t even know fall in love with them. It is because they have a tremendous amount of social value. Track Eleven Ok…let’s talk about a principle in the persuasion process that is known as reverse order. Reverse order is also commonly referred to in persuasion circles as the coin view, because just like one coin has two entirely different sides, so also does reverse order.
Reverse order is when you take the same strategy or principle and look at it in a different way so that you can use it in a different way to help you in a different situation. This is sort of like flipping a coin. So, the main way reverse order works is to make the same thing different so you can use it differently. In strategy this is like how the same sword that kills is the same sword that gives life. It is simply a matter of switching our perspective of how we understand and apply something. Reverse order can also involve looking at the cup as half full or half empty. I think that how we see a person is often like this, as once in a while we see their strengths and once in a while we see their weaknesses. In disguised hypnosis reverse order can mean many things. I like to think of it as being formless so that I am able to adapt to any situation or event by changing the way I see myself and the techniques I like to apply. Track Twelve OK… let me tell you a little bit about how this program and structured so that you know what to expect. Each session of this program will consist of a pre‐talk and a corresponding CD. The pre‐talks are sort of a foundation and introduction to the information that will be presented on the corresponding CD. There are five sessions total, and a bonus session that deals directly with the topic of seduction. In session one we will cover the introduction to this program and the foundations of macro persuasion. Session two will deal with the topic of group management and will immerse you with everything you need to know about the benefits of managing groups, how groups operate, and how you can make alliances with them. Session three deals with the class systems and how they can be breeched through the various forms of hypnotic pressure. Session four deals thoroughly with the topic of social strategy and how you can use strategy to enhance the power of your social interactions, and session five deals with the topic of power and how you can acquire more power that will enhance your social value in social settings.
The bonus session on seduction will make a distinction between pick up and seduction, we will also talk about the O.T.C. model, and I will go over with you some of the primary principles of the art of seduction that are not covered in other programs. I have also provided you with a user’s manual. The user’s manual will have a philosophical lesson corresponding to each session to enhance the value that you will get from each session’s audio portion. So the user’s manual is somewhat of a side dish to the main course you will be getting through the audios. Now, one of the specific goals I had for this program was to make it practical for you. If information isn’t simple, then it isn’t powerful. Each one of these sessions is part of this program for a reason, and this entire program was designed to give you the awareness and mental technology that you need to be an excellent persuader. Now, throughout this program I use as many diverse examples as possible to help you understand the points I am making. It should go without saying that these examples are not intended to represent your real life situations, these examples were simply provided to help you understand the material better. By understanding this material on one level, you will be able to understand it on multiple levels, and as this happens you will easily be able to customize each piece of information so that it fits into your goals and objectives as they relate to the art of persuasion. Well, we are coming to the end of this first pre‐talk for the disguised hypnosis home study program. My name is Jonathan Conrad Groves, and I look forward to seeing you on the next CD. Track Thirteen (Exit) What you know determines how far you can go…and you’ve all come from a long way, and you still have a long journey ahead of you…as you continue to go through these long, fascinating territories of human behavior. And once the traveler has found his way for the very first time, it will be far easier for him to find his way back a second time should he ever wish to return, and being constantly acquainted with his destination, he will always be able to find it.
Track One (Open) This is the Practical Persuasion system for session one. An art cannot survive without the basics, which means that the basics are in many ways even more powerful than the advanced techniques. The basics can be likened to a little match, which, even though it is small, has the power to ignite a very large fire. Track Two Welcome everyone, to the first CD of this home study program, entitled, Disguised Hypnosis, practical persuasion systems. In this CD I will go over with you the nuts and bolts of the persuasion process so that you can have an immediate understanding of the necessary foundations of persuasion and mind control so that you will almost effortlessly be able to build powerful persuasion processes upon these foundations at will. Now, in this CD we will begin to discuss some of the most cutting edge frames that the entire art of persuasion can be built into. Some of this fascinating information will be about the mysteries of the ground and how you can establish and use the ground so that you can host all of your social interactions on your terms. We will also talk about the alliance game and also how you can play the insurance game to consistently logically offset the aggression and resistance of your opponents. Then, we will talk about the view cycles and how you can integrate them into your persuasion processes to do even more powerful things. Finally, towards the end of this CD, we will talk about the number one mistake many persuasion artists make, and then we will talk about salvation hooks and about hard fixes and soft fixes. But, before we do that, let’s briefly take ourselves through a quick confirmation cycle so that we can confirm the importance of some of the common knowledge that we already know. We already know the importance of language and how important it is to say the right things at the right times. We already know about how we can tell stories to persuade people and to send them indirect messages. Most of us have learned the power of storytelling when we were children, and most of us were taught as children to soften our commands and request so that we are likely to get the things we want.
Many of us are also already well aware of the fact that people have different representational systems, and that different people communicate differently and that because different people communicate differently, we need to access different representational systems as we persuade different individuals. We also know the power of matching and mirroring the behavior of other people. Even children learn that people are more likely to like other people who are like themselves, and this is the reason why children do everything in their power to fit in at school as they imitate those crowds whom they wish to hang out with. So, we know that we must adapt ourselves to fit the different personalities and preferences of other people. The reason why I am mentioning these things is because almost every time we study the topic of persuasion today, we are told about these exact same principles again and again. But even though these principles have importance attached to them, they have been repackaged and circulated in the persuasion community for years. Those principles have become common knowledge, so there is no longer a need to repeat them. So, let us not lay again those elementary foundations of persuasion, not laying again the importance of the use of language or the importance of matching and mirroring people whom we are trying to persuade, and let us move on to perfection and more advanced applications that pertain to the art of persuasion. And this we will do if the persuasion process permits. The game of power and persuasion goes far deeper than the use of language, because what we do not say can even be much more important than what we are saying. Track Three Now, let’s begin to turn our focus towards some important foundations in the persuasion process. One of the most important focuses is going to be the ground. What do I mean by the ground? Well, in the persuasion process, the ground means the location, situation, and experience. As we consider the location, consider your own households, even a powerful politician must submit to the rules in your household. So, even though the politician may have tons of authority, the moment he steps inside of your house, he is subject to your rules.
So, as a persuasion artist, you can change the location to increase your power. You can also change the location to take away power from your opponents so that you can add power to yourself. And as you change the location, you can take away the resistance of people because you have removed them from their initial boundaries that were empowering them to resist you. Now, as the situation changes, your power changes—and so do your opportunities. Let’s briefly consider the seduction community to illustrate this point: If a man approaches a woman at a nightclub with a goal oriented frame (a frame that clearly conveys that he is hitting on her) then this situation will often cause her to raise her defenses and resist him. But, if he approaches her indirectly and begins to engage her in a conversation that does not appear goal oriented, then her defenses will be lowered as this will create a different situation that will enable him to transition the conversation to generate attraction between them at a later point in time. So, by creating the appropriate situation for each circumstance you are persuading in, you will optimize your power and so increase the chances of getting what you want. Now, depending upon what experiences are being experienced by those whom you are persuading, your power will either be increased or decreased. This is a very important fact to consider, because by taking advantage of the proper experience and avoiding the improper experience, you will multiply your leverage in the persuasion process one hundred fold. To illustrate this, consider the holidays. As soon as it officially becomes a new year or as soon as the firecrackers begin to go off in the sky to initiate the beginning of a new holiday, an invisible door is opened for persuasion. Time and time again, people who have barely met kiss each other, or total strangers will go around hugging total strangers and starting conversations without any resistance whatsoever. Holidays have been so powerful that couples who have had bitter break ups ended up getting back together over the holidays. This is an example of how the experience can be used to your benefit. But just as the experiences that other people are experiencing can be used for you, they can also be used against you if you are not careful. So, if a woman has recently had negative experiences with men, then you may want to wait until she recovers from those experiences until you try to develop a relationship with her.
Now, the experience doesn’t need to be a holiday. It can be anything…such as a song on the radio that brings back old memories and stirs up old emotions. So, in the persuasion process, you must always consider the ground, and by doing so you are taking into account the location, situation, and experience. Track Four Now, as we consider the ground, let us take into account what are known as elevated positions. An elevated position is where the advantage lies. So, if you are encountering an opponent in the persuasion process from a lower position, then you are likely to lose the match. This means that you should always fight your battles of psychological warfare on your terms. Never fight according to anyone else’s terms. Fight when you want to fight, and where you want to fight. When a customer first steps onto a car lot, their defenses may be raised so that in the beginning their limitations are most powerful and their goals and objectives are easily maintained. But the longer they are on the car lot and the more salesmen the customer encounters, the customer begins to get worn down and their boundaries start to weaken as the sales force begins to chip away at the customers initial budget and initial logical conditions that they first stepped onto the car lot with. Then, after the customer has been worn down hour after hour on the car lot, what happens is their position begins to lower as the car sales man takes the elevated position in the social interaction. And as it so often happens, the customer ends up spending more money than they had planned on spending, and they’re driving a car off the lot sooner than they had planned on purchasing a car. Now, this may not happen each and every time, but it happens all of the time every single day. This is one of many classic examples where the persuasion process can be likened to sort of a boxing match. The boxer doesn’t dare fight with a more powerful opponent. The boxer never brawls with a brawler. Instead, the boxer avoids fighting with the more powerful opponent…dancing around the ring and wearing down his opponent with a little jab.
And this causes the brawler to tire…it causes the brawler to make mistakes and to become desperate. And the more mistakes that the brawler makes, the more opportunity the boxer has as the fight continues. And then something very interesting happens in the fight, the roles switch. The boxer and the brawler change positions. Now, the boxer becomes the aggressor, and the brawler becomes the weaker opponent in that most of his strength and stamina is gone. The brawlers’ energy has been spent, so the boxer assumes the elevated position and later wins the fight. Like in a boxing match, in psychological warfare the roles can be switched. This is important to consider because everyone wants to try to control the day. Everyone wants to control the daytime. But we lose when we try to control the day…we’ve all tried to control the day before and we’ve lost...because our opponents control the day. We cannot control the day, but we can… control the night. Now, there are generally two techniques that powerful people use to obtain the elevated position, the first is by controlling the ground as we’ve already discussed, and the second method is by attaching morals to your goals and objectives. By attaching morals to your goals and objectives, you are taking a much higher ground than you would be taking had you not attached morals to your objectives. This scheme is commonly used by companies and sales forces, who promise to donate a percentage of the money you spend on their products and services on charities, and it is also commonly manifest in political campaigns where the politicians continue to integrate morals and ethics into their speeches and propaganda in order for people to vote for them. Celebrities also have begun to resort to this strategy to increase their fame and to recover from bad press they have received in the past by shifting the public’s attention from their mistakes and questionable lifestyles to their good deeds and high morals. This scheme of taking the high ground has been one of the dirtiest types of guerrilla psychological warfare the world has ever seen. So, as you secure the elevated position for yourself in one area, you will find it easier for you to secure the elevated positions for yourselves in other areas as well, because when people become powerful in
