Dear Doc,

I have had a problem for some time now. I was wondering if you could help.

I have a compulsion to to teach hypnosis to those who wish to learn and are of the right stuff to accept that teaching.
The problem is distance.

I was just wondering if you could possibly give me any ideas as to 'how' we could achieve this goal.

My inner Id was talking to my Super-ego and it came to the conclusion I that was talking crap.
Unfortunately, my higher-self beat the shit out of both of them, so myself and I are at the mercy of language interrupt patterns bubbling up from fuck-knows-where!

My mum says I should grow up and get a life, but what does she know: she's been dead four years now; and who'd listen to that whining bitch anyway? All she ever wants me to do is be her little girl.

I've tried the dresses and shoes, but it just don't wash.
No seriously, the stains are awful!

Damien says I should just 'BE REAL' and stop dribbling. That way there'd be nothing to leave a stain in the first place.
He also reckons I should let him out more often so he can help realise the compulsion.

What does he know anyway?
He wants to take enough of my knowledge and skill, jump out of me and shove it all in the subconscious of say Bob Perrin. He then wants to take control of Bobs insecurities and turn them into a propulsion system to create a go getting hypnotic automated machine.

According to the philosophies as known by Damien, it's quite ethical you use hypnosis to teach hypnosis.
What a knob, or what?

How can he expect me to let him loose just to teach others?
Why on Earth would I want to do such a thing anyway?

I know that sneaky little rastard.
He'll just take the *iss, and stay inside Bobby Boy and make him feel happy to pass this mental illness on to someone else. I mean, can you imagine me hypnotically passing over the skills that Damien would have me give?

It would all end in tears.
He wouldn't give up you know.
That's what he's like.

He'll have his way with Bob, leave the poor unfortunate sod in a state of complete bliss and control over his life and hypnotic dreams; and then he'll just get Bob to pass him over to some other daffty.

It'll go on for god knows how many generations.
With that kind of skill, Bob might feel compelled to be an emissary of hypnotic peace and justice. He might even force people to be happy, getting what they want out of life in return for filthy cash; and he might, for absolutely no reason what so ever, use a touch that cash to buy a plane ticket.
He might even end up coming to you.

But you wouldn't want that would you Doc?

Anyway, it's not up to me.
I'm not even in control of myselves.

So what should I do?

Should I keep this compulsion to help?
Or, should I just go crazy typing on hypnothoughts~?

Please think carefully before you answer, and while you're doing that, don't think of Donna Rodolph.
If that image sticks in your mind clearly, when Damien gets to you he might force you to earn lots of money and take you to her and do the same to you as he done to Bob.

Please help,

Neil.

Neil,

I find quite a bit of your posting, not really in the spirit of community, and in partuclar, quite insulting and patronising to some respected members of his hypnothoughts community.

you seem intentent on setting off a flame war. Hopefully others will not take the bait.

Love and hugs,

Fable

Dear Fable,

Simply the MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO BY-PASS THE CRITICAL FACULTY is to use humus. I mean humour.

It deflects the analytical processes in a way that detaches the subject(s) sufficiently to get the point across.
Kind of like your maths teacher droning on compared to a comedian using audience participation for effect.

Who's meaning are you going to absorb?

It all depends of course upon the person to whom you are relating the story, and the angle of humour used.
It would be inappropriate to tell a joke about Jesus at a funeral, or jest about Guinness in Eire(the real name for southern Ireland).

Some people are dead inside.
You can not get blood from a stone.

For connection with the subconscious to occur, there must be something to connect to.
If a therapist tries to establish peace and calm in a client, the obvious thing to do is find a place of universally accepted calm. A warm, blue exotic stream would be totally unfamiliar to one who has always lived in the Arctic circle, and had a phobia of drowning.

Sometimes it's good to check with the client, or make an educated guess based on available evidence.

Trying to read poetry to charm a woman aint goin to work if the woman has no concept or love of rhymes.
Talk football to my sister and you're on a better footing to get along.
Universal connections aren't always so universal, but one can but try.

In deciding to relate an idea to Buddy, Bob and Donna, I chose my professions mode of communication: story telling!
If I were a farmer I may have talked to other farmers in relation to tools and seeds.
As a fellow story-teller I know you relate to artistic licence.

I could have just said do you wanna learn some stuff kidda? But I find direct subconscious-communication a much more elegant approach.

Damien is the teachings I would pass on. Like Erickson's 'tomato' when talking to a patient who had bladder control issues.

The story-line, direction and presupositions were based upon previous contact with Bob and Donna.
Facilitating Dr Slash Blight's discussion was because he is highly developed creatively.

His whole persona oozes out of his profile pic.

There are very few who can pull-off the 'sword-pose' in the way the Doc does.

So I understand why you may have at first felt the way you did.
It is understandable for some one of your stature and respect to want to protect the members.

In the words of Michael Winner: Calm down dear, it's just an hypnotic story.

Yours,

Zoloff the Invincible.

A somewhat different view, to confuse or amuse you.

You may want to make sure that the trainer you select actually practices hypnosis on a regular basis and has experience developing an active practice. One of the things that amazes me about this field is that it seems that a large proportion of the folks who claim to be instructors or trainers have never done the work for a living, or even worked with a significant number of real-world cases, but have merely purchased the right to sell courses and certifications to other people who want to be "Masters" too.

Thanks 'his grumpynes'

I know a lot of hypnotists in Wales, And none of them seem to have heard of the oracle of Neilphi.

I accept that this is not any reason to disbelieve his prowess as a trainer.

I just don't personally know any one who has said anything good about him.

He may be a dark horse, and I believe that may be a good thing.... As Priam said to me after the Trojan war... "beware of welchers bearing gifts!"

However, desite Priam's advice, I am always willing to learn, so I accept your challenge Neil.

I am having a supervision weekend starting on Friday. Neil, you are welcome to come (as my guest), and meet Melissa Sweet from york, Glen Hoyle and Sophie-Rose Parker from Canada, Phoenix Fairchild from Cumbria, Joey Smart from Durham, and Gary LIntern from the Wear Valley, and possibly a few other members of this site.

On Friday evening we will be having a meal/ cabaret at the 'Theatre Restaurant' in Sunderland where Joey and I will be performing, as guest artistes of a burlesque troupe (The Coquette Collective)
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=108448306531&re...

It should be a good show.
Our act is a disguised hypnotic induction in black light, using glow in the dark props.

As they say in the best poker circles... "shit... or get off the pot!"

I have just came back from facilitating a 'Circle dance' class and am tired, and need a bath, so no point in replying until the morrow.

LOve and hugs,

Fable
