Some History

I don't have anything recorded for this week, so I would like to give you a window inside my mind. It's funny, because I'm so expressive with the recordings and I still feel like I should be more open about who I am. I have an impulse to divulge and express constantly. When I consider that from an outside perspective it's really over the top.

I actually always wanted to be a film maker. A director. I used to idolize Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas. Lucas got started before Star Wars making films in Coppola's company, American Zoetrope. Coppola won awards for The Godfather but I like Dracula the most probably. George Lucas made a film called THX 1138 while at Zoetrope that is super strange and I think gives insight into his thinking.

Just look at the presence of these strange and interesting men.

When I was first learning hypnosis I had worked out this documentary on hypnosis in my mind, because that was the only way I could imagine sharing the magic of it. I would interview hypnotists with them looking straight at the camera. Then I would have them all use hypnotic language so that the viewer (you) would actually become hypnotized while watching the film. This would deliver the impact of the experience of being hypnotized.

Buuutt. And everyone I know has a big butt. I wanted to build an audience first so that there would be people who would actually be there to watch the movie. So I decided to start making hypnosis videos. This ended up being a complete tangent from my original intention to make a film.

It turned out that what I was really supposed to be doing was hypnotizing people. I had no understanding that I had a voice before recording it. I only recorded myself speaking because I had no one else to do the speaking for me. It was after forcing myself to put myself out there that I started receiving very touching compliments. This feedback is what made me aware of what might be possible through using my voice.

I discovered that certain individuals are able to directly receive creative expressions that are more immersive than the experience of watching a film. There are engaging aspects to this that you might consider.

A film is a stationary set of images that show you directly what to see. You have your own subjective branching off of meaning and emotion that the film engenders. Buuut it tells you what to see and feel relatively concretely. I think you see where I'm going with this.

Kaa is the hypnotist and Shere Kahn is having none of that.

In a way I'm surprised that more people aren't aware of the potential of using hypnosis as a creative expression medium. But the reality is that film is a form of deep hypnosis and people have no idea what is happening to them. It's important to be aware and discerning of what you're feeding your mind.

I think the reason that "hypnosis" is treated as something out of the ordinary is because the "programs" people ingest constantly are supposed to somehow be normal and considered benign and just entertainment. The threat of explicitly stated hypnosis is that it is honest about what is being performed. This is hypnosis. This is entrainment.

There is a direct transference of thought, emotion, reality through any creative expression that is received by another. It is a sacred sharing. Allowing the need for the receiving of this experience to be satisfied by anyone who has an agenda they are not forthcoming with is inappropriate.

Anyone who is manipulating you with the spectacle of entertainment is not to be trusted.

The purpose of the entertainment industry isn't just to give a needed escape from the nightmare of the civilized world. It is meant to entrain the mind. And you becoming keenly aware that you're subjecting yourself to constant entrainment.... breaks the entrainment.

Because its a lie.
