5. Introduction
I had to come up with a marketing plan for my hypnosis site, which led me to scan
the Internet for hypnosis research. I found some interesting things – like the fact
that every hypnotist on video states “you are always in control of your thoughts and
actions.”
Another clip I found shows a hypnotist knocking six people into comatose. The
hypnotist then sticks one person’s hand to another person’s forehead, and says, “No
matter how hard you try to pull away, your hand is stuck to his forehead. The harder
you pull, the tighter it sticks.”
Two people are now on stage stuck to each other, four “unhypnotizable” subjects are
sent back to the audience, and everybody is having a good time.
You might be thinking if everybody is having a good time, then how can hypnosis be
scary? I asked the same question. The scary thing is how far we can push another
person’s mind.
A good bout of stage hypnosis is fun, and yes, people would be able to say no if the
hypnotist suggested they take off their clothes. But think about this: six out of 10
willing participants were able to experience deep hypnosis, hallucinations, no sense
of awareness, and complete amnesia afterward…on their first try! Those six willing
participants must have been highly suggestible, correct?
What happens when those six participants go home, turn on the news and watch
headlines about things like war? You must remember that they willingly turned on
the news, just like they willingly listened to the hypnotist, but the news is telling
them to be afraid. Knowing how suggestible these people are, you can imagine how
afraid they might be.
My neighbor once watched a documentary on plane crashes and she’s never flown
again. My other neighbor watched a CNN report about one case of Ebola 10,000
miles away and she went into hysteria.
10 out of 10 people I know enter relationships willingly. Well, what happens if one
person keeps hearing, “You’re an idiot?”
I know many people in abusive relationships. Heck, I’m in one! I love it.
Everywhere I go it seems our lives are made up of a chain of commands, and these
commands are passed down to our children.
A good hypnotist understands commands, and they use commands to make the
world a better place. A bad hypnotist uses fear, guilt, and shame to get their way.

6. Now before we get started, let me remind you that we are all “hypnotists” because
we are always giving, and receiving suggestions, and commands, both consciously
and unconsciously. Now ask yourself, “Do I truly understand the power of
suggestion, and use it for the power of good?”
Yes? Good, but let me warn you, most people are different than us. That’s why I put
together this list of the five reasons you should fear hypnosis.
Let’s begin.
Reason 1: Hypnosis IS About Mind Control
I mentioned that I had been researching hypnosis. I discovered that every hypnotist
is saying the same thing: “Hypnosis is NOT about mind control. You are always in
control of your thoughts and actions. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You’ll never do
anything you don’t want to do. You’ll always be safe.”
This is very true; however, if I were to tell you to sleep on command, and you do it,
who is in control?
Then I say, “When I count up from one, to three, you are going to wake up and have a
Jamaican accent. One, two, three.”
You wake up and say, “Everytingiriemon.” Who is in control?
It’s not a case of what came first – the chicken or the egg – it’s a case of I give the
suggestion, and you react to it. If you do what I say without question, then I must be
controlling you, no?
What makes hypnotic language so scary is seeing how people are unknowingly
controlled. Lost souls get conned into terrorists groups, and cults. These aren’t
people who necessarily want to do bad things, but they do them.
When my neighbor – who thinks she controls all her thoughts – watches a CNN
report on Ebola and they tell her to be scared, so she fears the worst. Is she actually
in control of her thoughts?
I have another neighbor who is always upbeat, fun, and present in the moment. You
would think, Man, that guy is in control of his thoughts. I think the same damn thing.
You see, I think we are all in control of our thoughts, but sometimes we are OUT of
control with our thoughts, and it could be beneficial to know which is which.
Sometimes I want to be in control of my thoughts, and sometimes I want others to
take the lead.

7. There is a proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go
together.”
I want to go far, and I know that when you work as a team, silly ideas like, “who is in
control?” Cease to exist, or even have to be brought up. Instead we can think about
new subjects like crushing that next big goal.
In hypnosis we have a saying, “When you really begin to accept yourself at a deep
level, then you’ll free yourself to change whatever you wish.”
Reason 2: Bad Hypnotists
The hypnotist who stuck the girl’s hand to the boy’s head was a good hypnotist.
People enjoyed the hypnotist, and everybody had a good time.
The CNN reporter who hypnotized my friend into fearing a zombie apocalypse is a
mean hypnotist, and many people are. I always hear people telling me not to feel
guilty or angry. Unfortunately, these people are out there attempting to hypnotize
me into feeling bad. When you grab the newspaper and the headline reads, “Cancer
strikes again, see how you could be next,” that makes you feel bad, does it not?
In my book, the Beginner’s Guide to Hypnosis: Volume I, we talk about psychologist
Dan Wegner’s white bear experiment. It’s an experiment that understands why the
more you try not to think about something like a white bear, the more you will think
about a white bear.
For example, if I told you DON’T think about a white bear, what is it that you think
about? That’s right, you have to think about a white bear in order to know what I’m
talking about. That means that when you tell me NOT to worry, I have to think about
worrying in order to know what you are talking about.
On the other hand, you can switch it up and use the word “don’t” to command
positive thinking. You could say, “I sure don’t want you to be happy, and lucky.”
That usually makes people smile.
The bottom line is that if you don’t fear hypnosis, you should fear the bad hypnotic
language that surrounds you – the negative attitudes, the bullies, and the
chauvinistic pigs. Fortunately, the more you know about hypnosis, the easier it is to
mess with their minds.

8. Reason 3: Hypnosis is the Secret Power of Influence
In 1784, when Franz Mesmer began to publicize his theory of animal magnetism,
which was considered offensive by many, Louis XVI appointed a commission to
investigate it. This included the chemist Antoine Lavoisier, the physician Joseph-
IgnaceGuillotin, the astronomer Jean Sylvain Bailly, and American Ambassador
Benjamin Franklin.
That commission gave poor Mr. Mesmer a hard time. They didn’t necessarily prove
Franz wrong, but they did discredit his theory of animal magnetism. They
discovered that Franz did not have a secret power – but Franz did have a gift, and it
was the power of suggestion. Franz made people believe they could heal, and it
worked.
Decades after Franz was discredited of his secret power, hypnosis was born.
Surgeons helped patients relax into trance, psychologists cured hysteria, and
personal development skyrocketed.
Hypnosis became so popular that therapists, doctors, sales personnel, pro athletes,
and government officials areutilizing powerful hypnotic techniques to get the things
they want. The question I have to wonder is if the leaders of the world are using it,
why aren’t you?
Reason 4: Scientists Research Hypnosis
The person who coined the word “hypnosis,” James Braid, was a surgeon and
gentleman scientist. Braid discovered hypnosis when he attended a public
performance by the travelling Swiss magnetic demonstrator Charles Lafontaine
(1803–1892)at the Manchester Athenaeum onNovember 13, 1841.
Braid was amongst the medical men who were invited onto the platform by
Lafontaine. Braid examined the physical condition of Lafontaine's magnetized
subjects – especially their eyes and eyelids – and concluded that they were, indeed,
in quite a different physical state.
Since Braid’s discovery, scientists have been consistently proving in favor of
hypnosis. Brain research backs up the scientists with proof that our brain can’t
distinguish real from unreal. For example, if you can imagine an orange, the same
part of your brain is activated as if you were to physically see the orange.

9. When the founders of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), John Grinder and
Richard Bandler, hit the scene, they took hypnosis and brain research to a new level.
They learned how to hypnotize anybody, anytime, anywhere. They learned about
language, indirect suggestion, direct suggestion, anchoring techniques, therapeutic
metaphors, and they used potent analogies to teach their knowledge to millions of
people.
There are people who use the information for good, and there are equally smart
people who use this information for corruption and evil. Of course, most people
never figure out how to use hypnosis or NLP properly, and they are harmless.
Reason 5: Hypnosis is Everywhere
Are you having a baby? Do you want to cure a phobia? Would you like to be a better
athlete? There is a hypnosis program for that. Is your car broke down on the side of
the road? There is no hypnosis program for that, but you could practice a little self-
hypnosis to calm the frustration.
Public speakers use hypnotic techniques to gain rapport with entire audiences. The
media uses hypnotic techniques to write headlines. Politicians use hypnosis to sway
voters, and yet most people I know say, “I can’t be hypnotized.”
What Does This Mean?
Scientists have kept an interest in hypnosis for over 170 years. My guess is that
hypnosis is here to stay. It will change and evolve, but it has yet to be fully
understood.
The one thing all great hypnotists do understand is the power of suggestion. Good
hypnotists make sure to use the power for good, while bad hypnotists use the power
for evil. Everybody else thinks the power does not exist, and that is a mistake
because the power of hypnotic language is everywhere. In fact, one of the things
you’re really going to love about hypnosis is how quickly you’ll become irresistibly
influential.
Of course, I know that most people don’t have the extra 10,000 hours it takes to
become the next great hypnotist. But if you do have 30 minutes to read my next
book, then you might see a new direction opening up in front of you.
