Powers of Mass Hypnosis - Command a Crowd to do your bidding

Have you ever come across a person in a group that seemed to be the highlight of attention, a person that didn't seem to possess any unique expertise, but who's very words seemed to hold sway over everyone listening to them?

Perhaps you've heard a public speech delivered that you thought was of exceptional quality, a speech that motivated you. This speech could have come from a politician, a religious figure, even an advertising figure.

If you've ever come across a person that seemed to inspire many people at once, invigorating you and others in some way, you've no doubt thought this person a class of their own, a class that was outside of your reach.

No doubt this person also seemed highly charismatic, respectable and had a tone of voice and mannerism of speech that made you feel comfortable and left you wanting to listen to them further.

The truth of the matter is, is that any such person was using nothing more than a technique known as "rapport".

All of us have heard of rapport before, and what it is, but how many of us really know how it works and how we can establish rapport with anyone we speak to? The answer is - not many of us. Those few who have mastered the technique of establishing rapport are the ones that go on to become great public speakers, the ones who are able to sway masses of people into a believing in a certain belief or ideal.

So how does rapport work, and how is one able to establish rapport with a large group of people?

Simply put, the person or group of people must feel like they've known you, the speaker, all their lives. When you speak your tone of voice must seem to have some form of nostalgic connotation.

The people listening to you obviously know consciously that they haven't met you before, however what you must do is sway their subconscious into thinking that they have. They must have a deep down feeling within themselves that they do know you, even though they know that they don't.

It's this feeling of "knowing" that creates a naturally relaxing environment with your listeners, and establishes rapport with them.

Once rapport is established, true masters of communication can take that rapport a step further and send their listeners into a state known as a "trance".

trance is a state of hypnosis where a person is highly vulnerable to suggestion and persuasion. When somebody is in a trance, any words that are said to them they will act upon and take very literally. Their critical mind is almost eliminated - they will not critically analyse any suggestions given to them. If you were to tell someone in a state of trance to "dance around the room" they would act upon that suggestion, and do so, acting upon the suggestion subconsciously as opposed to consciously.

So how then do you send somebody into a trance? Once rapport is established, the process becomes quite easy.

You must plant what are called "suggestions" within your speech, however you must plant these suggestions discreetly.

Let's say you wanted a crowd of people to all raise their right hand up in perfect unison when you said the word "raise".

If you were speaking to the crowd for half an hour, you would be planting lots of discreet suggestions within your speech that would associate the word "raise" with the lifting of one's right hand. These suggestions would seep into the subconscious of all those listening to you.

Although your sentences would be completely unrelated to the raising of the right hand, these subtle suggestions would still be in your sentences, however only the subconscious mind of your listeners would pick up these suggestions, not the conscious mind - which is exactly what you want.

Let's say you were talking about the market share of a product. Your sentences could consist of something similar to "and as the corporate shareholding positions raise themselves along the right path, the company would be on its way to success, on the other hand however, the raise would only be temporary".

Within that sentence you have mentioned the three words - "raise", "right", "hand", and then set a subconscious confirmation of "raise" towards the end of the sentence. If you mixed and matched these words correctly through many more sentences for a time spanning 30 minutes or so, and then give the command to your audience "And so, you will raise your right hand", if done correctly, the crowd would effectively be hypnotised to raise their right hand - in perfect unison and synchronisation, at the exact same time.

Now imagine if you could use this same principle to sell a product? A belief? an ideal? The possibilities are endless, and each and every day advertisers, politicians and other authorities are using these mass hypnotic techniques to get us to do things which we consider "impulse" but in reality are planted suggestions our subconscious is acting upon.
