Hypnosis Pre-Talk...
For you to understand how hypnosis works, it is very important for you
to understand how your mind works. We have three very separate and
very distinct minds. They do different things and they have a hard time
inter-relating and communicating with each other.
First, we have the conscious mind. That is where we are right now.
Below that level of awareness is the subconscious mind. The next level is
the unconscious mind. For the purpose of hypnosis, we do not deal with
the unconscious mind. It is the part that is concerned with the immune
system and automatic body functions.
The conscious mind basically does four things...
1. It analyzes.
2. It rationalizes.
3. Will power.
4. Working Memory.
This is the memory we need to carry out our every day tasks. So, our
conscious mind is very logical, very analytical and frequently wrong.
The REAL person lives in the next level or Subconscious Mind. The
subconscious mind is awesomely powerful. It can make you into
anything you would like to be. To understand how the subconscious
mind works, it is helpful to understand that is operates just like a
computer. A computer must operate on the programming placed in it. It
has no choice.
If the programming is changed, it must operate on the new programming.
It will no longer operate on the old programming. This is the way the
subconscious mind works.
The primary role of our computer is that it must make us into the type of
person that it perceives us to be, based on all the programming that has
been placed into it, and will continue to be placed into it until we die.
The subconscious mind is like a video camera. Everything that has ever
happened to you, that you have heard, seen, smelled or tasted, is locked
permanently into the memory banks of your subconscious mind. We
never forget anything. With hypnosis, we can go back and unlock those
memories.
The next programming in the subconscious mind is habits. There are
good habits, bad habits, and utilitarian (automatic) habits.
The next thing in our subconscious mind is emotion. The conscious mind
cannot deal with emotions in any way. Any situation requiring emotion is
automatically sent to the subconscious mind.
Probably the most important part of the subconscious mind is our
protective mind. It must protect us against danger either real or
imagined. You see, something imagined by the subconscious mind is just
as if it was actually happening, it can't tell the difference. And it must
protect us from danger.
The last part of the subconscious mind is the negative part. Although the
subconscious is so powerful, it is also the laziest part of us. It doesn't
like to do the work that is required to accept positive suggestions to give
us change in areas where we would like to have change.
It likes to keep things the way they are, it takes too much work to make
change in a positive way. And positive suggestions are one of the most
difficult things to get into our subconscious minds. On the other hand,
negative suggestions go into this inner part of us like a hot knife through
butter, because it doesn't take any work to accept a negative suggestion.
How do we get suggestions into the inner mind? Now, it is so important
for you to understand this. If an idea, a thought or a concept is allowed
to go into the subconscious mind, it must happen. You are changing
programming and that inner mind must respond to new programming.
But it is not that easy.
There is a guardian of the conscious mind that all suggestions must go
through, before making it into the subconscious. This is called the
Critical Factor. Once a suggestion passes the critical factor and goes
into the subconscious, it must happen.
How do you get a suggestion past the critical factor and into the
subconscious? The answer is Hypnosis. Here is what happens.
Hypnosis by-passes the critical factor. This is what most people who are
ignorant of hypnosis think hypnosis really is. If this was all hypnosis was,
then some of the stories you may have heard about hypnosis might be
true.
Things like I can control you or I can make you do anything I want you
to do and you'd have to do it. Well, if this was all it was, that would be
true. But our Creator did not leave us that vulnerable. Yet, this is true up
to this point. But the instant this critical factor of our conscious mind is
bypassed, what happens is this; we go into a very deep state of hypnosis.
When we are in the state of hypnosis, it is not what you expect it to be.
Our bodies are relaxed, but the more we go into hypnosis, the more our
conscious mind becomes alert. In the deeper levels of hypnosis, your
conscious mind is two to three hundred percent more alert than you are
at this very moment. All of your five senses, including hearing, smelling,
tasting, and seeing are hundreds of times better than they are right now.
So, when you are in hypnosis, you are not asleep, you are extremely
alert, probably more alert and clear minded than you have ever been
before. Now, the important thing to understand about this is that the
conscious mind takes on a different role when you are in hypnosis. I
want you to think of it as playing the role of the guardian of the gates
protecting you. When you receive a suggestion in hypnosis, you hear it
loud and clear.
When you hear that suggestion with your conscious mind, you must, and
you really do have no choice, make one of four decisions about that
suggestion. Which decision you make determines whether that
suggestion is allowed to enter your subconscious mind or whether it is
rejected. If it is allowed to enter, you will have the change that you are
here to achieve, if it is rejected, there will be no change.
What are those four decisions or choices?
1. “I like that suggestion, boy, I know that one is going to work!” A
mental attitude like this at the conscious level allows that suggestion to
go into the subconscious and change begins.
2. The next choice could simply be a little bit uncomfortable to you, for
any reason. It is automatically blocked by the conscious and not allowed
to enter your subconscious. No change.
3. You are simply neutral about the suggestion. You could go either
way. The conscious mind automatically blocks that suggestion, and it
does not get into your computer.
4. This choice is probably the one that causes the most people to fail, if
they do fail. It goes something like this, “Oh, I like that suggestion, boy, I
hope it works!” The word hope is the twin sister of the word try and try
means automatic failure. So, if you say hope or try, that suggestion is
blocked by the subconscious mind, it is not allowed to enter the
computer and there is no change.
In reality, it's up to you, whether a suggestion is accepted by the
subconscious or not. You and you alone are responsible for your
success. You and you alone are responsible for your failure. What
mental attitude you take when you hear a suggestion determines success
or failure. It's that simple.

to understand how your mind works. We have three very separate and
