The Power of Suggestion?
So I was browsing some videos, and I came across this one called "Covert Hypnosis". Now, I know a little bit about hypnosis and one of the "cardinal rules" is that you can't be hypnotized unless you want to. So I blew this off almost as fast as I read it. Especially when I went to the website and it was one of those "submit your email here" to learn more type of things
*Then I watched the video* and my opinion changed almost immediatly. Did the hypnosis work on me? Hmm..
I felt quite enlightened after watching this video, though I'm not sure I would call it hypnosis, as much as manipulation. I know it has happened to me. I would get all frustrated about something (or someone) and walk in to talk to him/her about it. Within 20 minutes I would start feeling re-assured and better so I would walk back to my desk. Then 20 minutes after that I would think, wait a minute - what just happened here? Not only did I not get my problem resolved, I was actually "made" to feel better about the bad situation I was in. Has this ever happened to you?
Maybe it's just natural charm, or maybe it's something else - I'm not sure. Some people definitly have an uncanny ability to convince others of total hogwash. After watching this video I can see more clearly now how it is they do it. Perhaps it is not intentional, perhaps they can't explain how they do it, but they do. It does seem we can be influenced (unconsiously?)
I suppose if you are unaware you are doing this - it is somewhat acceptable as natural charisma, but if you know you are doing this to someone, actively manipulating them to get what you want is it really ethical? and is there anyway to defend against it.
I suppose, when I think about it, this type of thing is everywhere, mostly in advertising and is similar to propaganda. In the end You'll have to decide for yourself.

28 Days in Rehab
Discovery Health produced 4 part series called 28 Days in Rehab.
In this series they follow a group of individuals and their attempts at Drug Rehabilitation.
Many people don't see addiction as an illness. They don't understand the compulsion and why it tears down lives and breaks down relationships, leaving you at rock bottom.
The truth is we are all addicts to something, and just any addicts we may not even realize we have an addiction.
When you think about it, our minds are conditioned for addication. Chemical dependance is part of our survival mechanism. We all seek rewards, we are motiviated by that 'good feeling' we get when we do something. We seek out getting a 'rush' or a 'high'
Those in Drug Rehabilitation are the real winners. They have (hopefully) recognized they have a problem, and trying to find a solution. The sad truth is, often these folks don't get to rehab until they have reached rock bottom. There jobs, relationships, lives have been torn apart and they are grasping to regain some control of life, only to have an obsession, quick fix high continue to take it away.
The irony is this same drive can be used in a positive way. If we can learn our passion or drive, to direct that same addiction in a healthy way. Replace the old bad habits such as drinking, drugs, gambling, with good habits. We can literally have our cake and eat it too.
This is a 4 part video series presenented in Windows Media format and takes place at the CARE addiction recovery center in Florida .You will need windows media player to watch the series, I found it quite fascinating myself.

I can read your mind
I just love these types of mind reading videos. Do you read the daily horoscopes? Do you find yours to be quite accurate, does this proove there really are psychics out there?
Here's a cool video mind reading test. You might want a pencil and piece of paper. When you play the video you will be presented with a series of statements about yourself. Put an check for every statement that is true about you, and an X for every one that is false.
Then ask youself, how well did this video read your mind? If you are impressed, pass this video on the a few of your friends and see how they score.
Then you will know the true secret of horoscopes in the newspaper.
Have fun !
