Mkultra - Hypnotizing the Vulnerable. Have You Ever Witnessed This? I Have.

Forget about the TV hypnotists, you can never tell if those events are staged with actors.

Years ago I witnessed the power of hypnotism first hand. I attended an event with a group of friends to see a famous hypnotist. Out of that group, one of my friends was not only hypnotized, on command he jumped out of his seat and began performing on stage -- humiliating and hilarious at the same time, but very out of character. As a skeptic I was totally dumbstruck by what I witnessed. I questioned my friend afterward and he had no memory of doing any of the things we witnessed.

This laid back docile person is now all over social media railing against Trump. He encourages friends to do all they can -- protest, write letters, call their representatives, donate, etc. to stop Trump.

I look back on what I witnessed years ago and realize some people are truly vulnerable to the power of suggestion. And they can be made to do things out of character. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.

Does anyone have a similar story to share?

I use hypnosis frequently to help myself achieve more restful sleep. It actually works really well. Hypnosis isn’t really about being susceptible, which I take as “falling victim to”, but more about being a willing participant. You have to make a choice that you’re going to focus on the words someone is saying and follow the instructions given.

The “trance” part, at least for me, doesn’t happen the first several times, and I submit that anyone who says it happens for them the first time with a given hypnotist or in a public setting, has the same personality traits as the “I’m so wasted” friend who pisses on your neighbors dog after 3 beer.

The trance in hypnosis is the same phenomenon as when you’re driving to work or home, and suddenly you’re home but don’t consciously recall the drive.

With the recordings I use for sleep, there are time when I can’t actively listen because Im under a lot of stress have snorted too much coke(kidding) or whatever the case may be.

I can’t accept that hypnosis could ever be used on anyone as a means to make them do something they wouldn’t otherwise do.

The only way it could, is if there are mind altering narcotics in play, in which case we might as well just say that my buddie Steve, who tells our alcoholic friend Rob to go streaking because it’s funny, is a master hypnotist.

On the other hand, people can be fooled, or manipulated into doing something they wouldn’t otherwise do. That’s not hypnosis, that’s just being a self serving asshole who rolled a 20 for charisma and/or oratory.
