BUILDING AGREEMENT WITH A YES SET
#WeaponizedHypnosis #ElmanPrimaryInduction
If someone is robbing you but you give him permission, is he committing a crime?
The name Kopelman is Dutch, not surprisingly. Ironically, it means Yoke maker.
Kopel = couple. Man=man. Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor?
The hypnotist starts a yes set with his victim.
If someone can get you to say “Yes” to several questions you will be inclined to keep saying “Yes” to further questions almost reflexively. This is, in effect, giving your permission to him to continue and setting the mood.
Example of Canadian Yes set
So he starts by asking you some easy “Yes” questions like your name and do you want to be hypnotized. He switches to a compliance set. He invites you on stage where everyone can see you. He soon has you agreeing to sit in a chair. Then he moves on…
“Can you imagine making a fist so tight you couldn’t make it any tighter?”
“Yes.”
“Can you imagine making a fist so relaxed you couldn’t make it any more relaxed?”
“Yes.”
This is called preframing.
He gets the subject to physically do it.
What really happens is that after flexing the fist muscles for several minutes you naturally weaken and need to recharge their calcium ions so when you are asked to relax them it is very easy and they relax more than usual.
That is just a bit of trickery to get the ball rolling.
It is a convincer (their term).
It ratifies or legitimizes [makes real] the power of the hypnotism.
Now the real game begins.
STEP BY STEP
The Master will go through a series of commands and after each command he will test his Slave to see how well he has performed. He will then tell him if he has followed his instructions satisfactorily. It is a game like Truth or Dare but limited (for now) to the dare aspect.
The first round of the game starts out as Pretend Sleep Paralysis.
The Hypnotist will act rigid, sure of himself, and authoritarian the whole time.
“In a moment I am going to ask you to relax the tiny little muscles around your eyes so that you hold onto that relaxation and they just won’t work.”
“In a moment” is the initiation anchor of the preframe.
These will be the magic words that signal an instruction is coming.
It is Pavlovianesque.
He also starts out gently asking rather than commanding. It also keeps the subject from getting ahead of him; it is part of the obedience training.
SUGGESTIBILITY TEST
Next he will perform what, in the hypnotic world, they call a “Suggestibility Test.” He will examine the victim to see if he is complying. He is making sure the subject is not peeking.
He continues…
“I want you to remain in that state keeping them relaxed and only open them when you know it is impossible to do so.”
This is a double bind. Read it again until you see it.
It is like saying, “Let’s flip a coin, heads I win, tails you lose.”
TEST HARD
Now the hypnotist will test hard; he will pull up on eyebrows, whatever it takes. The harder he tests, the better. He wants the subject to resist having his eyes opened because... Now the subject is in the role of helping you. He is committed. They want it and they will work for it.
When the hypnotist does this testing he is saying, “good boy!” non verbally.
Suggestibility tests create the “Oh, Wow!” response in the audience. A hypnotist is always looking for an opportunity to increase his prestige. Up until now everyone had to take his word for it, but seeing is believing.
He continues…
“Let that same relaxation go to the soles of your feet.”
“In a moment I’m going to ask you to open your eyes and look at my hand.”
“I will pass my hand in front of your eyes. As I do I want you to close your eyes and double your physical relaxation.”
He does this six times to them each time repeating the same directions so that each time they are becoming twice as relaxed (which of course has no objective meaning). There is no way to measure a subjective quality let alone double it. Any mathematician out there would be flabbergasted at the notion adults are talking like this seriously. But, of course, adults are not talking like this. Both the Kopelman and the subject are in the #ChildEgoState playing a game of bondage (without the rope).
