So you want to know about cultural hypnosis: are you sure?

As far as I am aware this is the ONLY book available on this subject. In many ways this is a weird book for a hypnotist to write but none the less essential; after all we live in rather weird times do we not? I have written 6 bestselling books on hypnosis, hypnotherapy, NLP (debunking it), persuasion and related subjects; they are consistently at the top of the charts on Amazon.com and .co.uk. My first book, How to hypnotise anyone! has been the bestselling book in the USA and UK for pretty much a whole year. This is partially because I know my stuff; I am a highly successful hypnotherapist from London, UK. I usually cure 99.9% of my clients in one, one hour session.

I have alluded in my other books to all the unsuspected hypnosis going on around you that you werent aware of: in this book I take it up a level and give specific examples of what I call cultural hypnosis, to be defined soon enough. You may not agree with a single thing that follows and that is your right. But you will be entertained and I promise you wont be disappointed. You wont find anything else like it. Authors used to write books like this (Vance Packard etc.) but theyve stopped doing so for decades now; it is written in a kind of investigative journalist style; not that journalists do much investigating these days.

Still want to read on? Come on, Ill hold your hand! Lions and tigers and bears oh my!

My promise to the reader.

Note to the reader: this book, in part, covers the subjects of the neuroscience and psychophysiological underpinnings of hypnotic phenomena: however it does so in a non-dry or convolutedly academic way (boring!). Its so easy to understand that a chimpanzee will get it! And that means YOU buster! You will be able to dazzle friend and foe alike as the science of hypnosis, as best as we can guess with current knowledge, is made quite clear to you. It was as much a discovery for me in the research and writing as it will be (I hope!) for you. I will be frank: it alarmed me; I hope for your sake it alarms you too!!!

Do you remember the by-line for Stanley Kubricks Masterpiece Dr. Strangelove which was Or how I learned to love the bomb? This book could have a by-line too: Escaping cultural hypnosis or how I learned to love my conscious mind.

Hypnotists are always prattling on about the power of the subconscious etc. Well you need a VERY powerful and active conscious mind too. This book will help you develop it, merely through 5 strategies:

• Awareness.

• Thinking.

• And asking questions.

• A love of truth: FACTS! (Genuine facts reframe perceptions.)

• Arguing.

It will also produce a powerful model of hypnosis. What it really is. How you can avoid being hypnotically programmed against your will and how to be an amazingly good hypnotist. If youve read my other books youll know a definition of hypnosis is: any form of communication that bypasses the critical factor of the mind.

Keep in mind also that hypnosis is all about ideas . Primarily your hypnotically induced assumptions.

Hypnotists/therapists are also technique junkies people are just clocks that have wound down, all I need is the right key and hey presto! They are back in working order! Right? Wrong? If I plant a flower in a poisoned soil it will become polluted. The suggestion swamp that we call society the social matrix in which we are immersed from birth onwards can make people ill. Therapists cannot go on disconnecting techniques from social realities.

WARNING: this book examines human programming technologies used in education, politics (this book is politically neutral: the Rogue Hypnotist despises all politicians equally), the media, religion, cults etc. It is not therefore to be taken as an attack on these nominalised entities per se but rather as a prod to conscious awareness that they are very, very imperfect institutions and may therefore be used well or abused as the practitioners therein see fit. Nor is it to be taken as an attack on authority or human hierarchies per se, which are probably essential to human tribes or civilisations. You dont have to like anything that follows: but it is, to the best of my knowledge ALL true. All facts herein have been thoroughly verified or they have not been included.

Welcome to my expose of what I call fondly: cult-lite.

A depressing prologue: a dialogue.

The following conversation actually happened.

Shall we turn on the TV?

Why?

We can see the election results.

Its just being repeated in a loop. Theres no point.

We cant just sit and think!

Why?

Because you cant!

Why?

Its boring!

Are you that boring?

(Laughs!) I dont like to think!!! said with venom.

Ahhhh! said knowingly.

Well that explains a lot. Most people prefer trance to thinking. The philosopher Bertrand Russell (who was a deeply unpleasant man) said,

Most people would rather die than think. In fact they often do.

On that bombshell, shall we?

Why read this book?

This book consists of 3 interrelated parts:

1. Part 1 concerns the science of hypnosis : what we can prove about it. It shows the power of all hypnosis, including cultural hypnosis at deep neuro-physiological levels.

2. Part 2 gives a vast array of examples of cultural hypnosis.

3. Part 3 tells you how to escape cultural hypnosis through awareness and avoidance measures.

Result: you will be able to think for yourself. Sound like a great deal? Ok

If you havent read my other books - the success of my previous books was not intentional, it kind of just happened, almost by mistake. You see writers dont create bestsellers - readers do. I am a top NLP Master Practitioner (though I barely use even a smidgen of that garbage) and clinical hypnotherapist (though I call myself a hypnotist). I have at time of writing a 100% success rate with all my clients who want to change. I have synthesised a whole host of tricks and techniques, perspectives and pointers on hypnosis and related change work. I developed this over 20 years of study and practise. My model of hypnotherapy is called hypnotic deprogramming. I created it. This book stands alone, by design, but is best read in conjunction with my other books.
