XXXVII - Hypno Fails

This is not intended to expose videos otherwise by people I liked as to their other videos, but I'll restate the comments or lack of comments on why I snapped out of hypno:

I

7 - woke up as you tried to make me forget that ...

II

"allowing your mind to be open to new ideas, new suggestions"

Where you lost me on this one.

III

"I would like you to imagine, you are floating up and out of your body."

IV

"you are the architect of your life" or
telling me to repeat
"I am the architect of my life"

(forgot which)

Why?

I

Seven is a holy number, the number of sacraments. Wouldn't want to forget that.

II

I am no friend of novelty.

New to myself, as in sth not yet experienced? Well one could put that another way.

Here it sounded eerily like radically new, sth which has horrible connotations in history both of theology and of politics.

III

The soul is the form of the body and doesn't float out of it until death.

IV

God is the carpenter of my life.

God, not I.

"I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk, and to direct his steps."
Jeremias (Jeremiah) 10:23

"The heart of man disposeth his way: but the Lord must direct his steps."
Proverbs 16:9

And carpenter, not architect. God incarnate is Jesus, carpenter in Nazareth, not Nimrod, architect of Babel.

My comments:

joy

I kind of decided to "play the game" so my typing may not be that much of a post-hypnotic success BUT the joy I actually feel after doing so, kind of is!

Can you be hypnotised with a rapid induction?

My comment:

This happened. Watching, as often, under non-ideal conditions. Seated at a library table with 8 computers, 4 facing 4 and I was in the middle of one side, so had one other on each side.

At the pre-talk, someone on the table started rapping his fingers on the table. MAJOR distraction, but as I wasn't under yet (just pre-talk, right) I stopped, button pause. When he stopped, I went on, button forward.

While waiting, I came to read comments on how eyes closed automatically just when you clapped hands and said "sleep". I had this in mind when watching the actual hypnosis.

Now, when you clapped and said sleep, I first just twinkled the lids and opened them again, then they fluttered a few seconds, and then I enjoyed the automatic closing of the lids and the rest.

BUT when you said the things about respecting and being respected, I snickered as I thought of a man I'd like to punch on the face for how he is to this homeless guy ... it was kind of funnily not quite inappropriate in an ironic way!

yesterday

Thank you!

And, couldn't keep up, really.

added today

More.

I did watch it in a cyber. I took the seat furthest in, people kept getting closer to my seat (they are laterally arranged) all the time, which was a bit distracting, but wonderfully deep trance even so.

Have gone back into trance on my own, thanks to memory snippets from this one, works very well.

I managed to miss quite a few stations on the RER I was not going to get out at, and to program myself in advance for double snap and "wide awake" in time for getting out. Both yesterday and today.

A wonderful way of compensating lost sleep.
