I have not attended any meetings for three months but recently I was struck by a strange recollection of something common to most meetings I attended. At every meeting, regardess of the time of day, frame of mind, secular workload, etc, I would feel I was being lulled into a numbing sleep. It was not that the material was boring to me (I have attended many boring secular conferences and NEVER experienced the strange effect that a meeting had on me). It was not a feeling of daydreaming or dozing off - more that there was a cerebral disconnect and reruting taking place. It go to the point that I was aware of my surroundings but clearly something had taken root in my subconscious. I have never had similar numbing feeling since not going to meetings. I do not think this is deliberate (it is illegal to use outside a clinical setting) on behalf of the WTBS but I think the underlying effect is still the same. let me explain.
I started reading about conversational language patterns and the power it can yeild. While hypnosis is all about altering your states of consciousness, hypnotic language patterning (HLP) is about how you can alter states of consciousness through the use of language. Think of a typical meeting and note the outcomes of HLP:
- Learning hypnotic language patterns is about understanding how this process happens, how you can induce it in others at will and how you can use this to get them to where you want them to go.
- It is a way of bypassing objections and focusing on the real heart of the matter.
- One of the most common uses of hypnotic language patterns is to access specific emotions from the past and attach them to situations, experiences and things in the present or the future.
- Speak in a way that draws people in until they are hanging on every word you say.
- Capture and lead the imagination to the exact thoughts you want a person to think about.
- A sales person might want to bypass the usual sticking points like price and get you to access the joys of owning the product.
- A manager might want use this to get their team to focus on getting great results rather than their current problems.
- A parent might get their children to connect the fun and excitement of going out to play with doing homework.
- A teacher or trainer might use HLP Persuasion skills to ramp up the desire to learn the skills as a route to manage the amount of concentration and work involved in getting there.
If you think of the meetings are they really different? The midweek meeting covers a publication with the same message in different shades, the TMS covers the same points every week and the overseer rarely covers the points any differently from the previous week. The SM is a rehash of old topics in new forms. Sunday you get the same talks given over and over. While there is well over a hundred outlines, the topics can be easily categorized into handful of main points - then the WT is never really different. It is all Hypnotic Language Patterning. Look it up and see the similarities.
