How to Get Other People to Do What You Want
When You Can't Always Manage Yourself
How would you like to get into somebody's head and really mess with his mind? Even better, her mind?
I didn't think so.
All right. How would you like it if somebody saw things your way for a change, even for a moment, and really tried to communicate for once?
I thought so. By the way, what's the difference?
That is what this page is all about. It's about building your own holodeck, so that you can enter the virtual realities that the people around you live in, and interact with them there. Which can have a magical effect on the way they are in your own reality. I don't mean you'll get rich. I don't even mean you'll get laid. Unless that's what you want.
And if it turns out that somebody has gotten into your head and messed with your mind, maybe it's time to do something about it.

The Journey Beyond Sleep
I was about ten when I learned how to hypnotize myself, though I did not have a word for it, and I am not sure even now that the word I have is the right one. A little later I made my way through some books by Claude Bristol and Harold Sherman my father had around the house, and got a better sense of what it is all about. As the years went by the writings of Thomson Jay Hudson, Charles Godfrey Leland, and Manly Palmer Hall clarified my understanding somewhat, and I learned some more practical things from others.
I shall say much more about my own experiences and thoughts as I proceed in these pages.

Getting Started
In time Mind Power New York will offer its own trainings. For now I can do no better than reccommend Igor Ledochowski's master class. If your interest is confined more narrowly to the mind control attacks on your freedom, your family, and your friends, you might turn to the Underground Hypnosis course. Finally, there are some who are curious about the most questionable uses of occult (at least in the sense of hidden) persuasion, including what I can only call black magic, not to practice it, but to defend against it, Curiosity about such things can be satisfied by the study of Forbidden Patterns. I trust none will be so foolish as to use such means to work, or attempt to work, real harm to others; such efforts have a way of turning against the one who make them.

The Usual Dire Warnings
By learning techniques often called hypnotic you can empower yourself to do much good for yourself and for others. But accept the limits. First, do no harm -- even the Greeks knew that. Second, be careful how you do good, or what you think is good. Any intervention in another's life, especially the inner life, should enhance the person's freedom, not curtail it. And don't be so damn quick to think that some belief or other is wrong and limiting for somebody else just because you don't happen to agree with it.

Psychotherapist?
Psycho.the.rapist?
Don't call yourself an hypnotherapist, or, God help us, a psychotherapist, even if you state allows you to, without a great deal of further training involving professional diagnostic skills. Don't even think of yourself as one. Remember that pain has a purpose. It is not good to relieve a physical pain or mental distress which a more skilled person would recognize as pointing to a cancer or a psychosis needing more radical treatment. In fact, don't even think of yourself as a hypnotist; that draws too much attention to yourself and away from the person with whom you are working or conversing. And, call it what you like, it isn't really all about you, is it? How boring and depressing if it were!

The Bottom Line
Most of life is not a matter of clinical madness and disease, but made up of more ordinary challenges, and we are surely entitled to pick up whatever good tools we find at hand to overcome them, and to discover a richer and more rewarding life than we could have imagined.

A Note on Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
We need to distinguish carefully between Conversational Hypnosis and NLP, especially as both are based on the techniques of Milton Ericson, and Igor Ledochowski is an acknowledged master of NLP. NLP is a movement with a mission, Conversational Hypnosis is not. While a great many of the NLP techniques were invented by Erickson, its main inspiration comes from Virginia Satir (Conjoint Family Therapy), and Fritz Perls (Gestalt Therapy), who are generally acknowldeged, along with Erickson, as providing its main pillars. Both were key players in the Esalen Institute at the dawn of what seemed to be a New Age; R. Crumb's Mister Natural was recognized at the time as a cruel parody of Perls. Perhaps the most important but least acknowledged) influence behind NLP is a crude but powerful system of metaphysics called General Semantics (GS), the founder of which seems to have coined the word "neurolinguistic." GS caused a great deal of intellectual confusion in its day. It ruled parts of Academe in the 1950s, and when it succumbed to critical thinking in the universities it took refuge in and in part took over the "Human Potential Movement" in psychology when Freudian psychoanalysis lost its credibility among therapists and their clients.
NLP is a fairly expensive thing to get into. Much of the same thinking was popularized downmarket by a man calling himself Werner Erhard in Erhard Seminars Training (EST), now known as the Landmark Forum, and by the thousands of selfhelp gurus EST spawned. A variation it may even be reflected in the Church of Scientology, of which I have no firsthand knowledge. (I was priviledged to study, all too briefly, with Gregory Bateson, an Esalen luminary but more than that, who also had a great deal of influence on NLP, and with the late Ira Progoff, one of the unsung heros of Human Potential, and with several of his students.) All of this may (or may not) be very interesting, but in Conversational Hypnosis Igor Ledochowski gives us the Ericsonian techniques, enhanced, to be sure, by decades of further research, but without the philosophical baggage, authoritarian attitude, and nauseating uplift of what was, far back in the last century, the New Age.

- Salter believed in releasing personal "inhibitions" by practicing techniques leading to what he called "excitation" which results in "disinhibition", a state which he described as akin to being slightly drunk. Chapter 8 in "Conditioned Reflex Therapy" contains all of the "exercises" (like the deliberate use of the word "I") leading to a state of excitation. Today, excitation, a term from the Pavlovian lexicon, might be referred to as a combination of "assertion" and "disinhibition". Salter, as did other "behaviorists" of the time, also had his patients learn & practice Edmund Jacobson's technique of "progressive relaxation".
Salter's hypnotic and relaxation techniques were first explained in his book, "What Is Hypnosis?" which was proclaimed a work of genius by Theodore X. Barber, a physiologist who researched hypnotic induction... - Trilby

- Thomson Jay Hudson (1834-1903) The essence of his special theory of psychic phenomena, developed from studies in hypnotism, was that man has within him two distinct minds: the objective, with which he carries on his practical daily life; and the subjective, which is dormant but is infallible as a record, registering every single impression of life. The objective mind is capable of both inductive and deductive reasoning, the subjective mind of deductive only, according to Hudson's theory.
