“Life is ten percent what you experience and ninety percent how you respond to it.”
Dorothy M. Neddermeyer

George Orwell
“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.”
George Orwell, 1984

Leo Tolstoy
“Music makes me forget myself, my true condition, it carries me off into another state of being, one that isn't my own: under the influence of music I have the illusion of feeling things I don't really feel, of understanding things I don't understand, being able to do things I'm not able to do (...) Can it really be allowable for anyone who feels like it to hypnotize another person, or many other persons, and then do what he likes with them? Particularly if the hypnotist is the first unscrupulous individual who happens to come along?”
Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata

Charles Fort
“Almost all people are hypnotics. The proper authority saw to it that the proper belief should be induced, and the people believed properly.”
Charles Fort

Peter Redgrove
“The erotic state 鈥� again, a mixture of concentration and spontaneity 鈥� is a hypnoidal state, probably the most powerful kind that we are capable of experiencing, and it is in this condition that unexpected regions of the self are revealed, as the majority of people know from experience.”
Peter Redgrove, The Black Goddess and the Unseen Real: Our Uncommon Senses and Their Common Sense

Umberto Eco
“A democratic civilization will save itself only if it makes the language of the image into a stimulus for critical reflection 鈥� not an invitation for hypnosis.”
Umberto Eco, The Screen Education Reader

Maxwell Maltz
“The important thing for you to remember is that it does not matter in the least how you got the idea or where it came from. You may never have met a professional hypnotist. You may never have been formally hypnotized. But if you have accepted an idea - from yourself, your teachers, your parents, friends, advertisements, from any other source - and further, if you are firmly convinced that idea is true, it has the same power over you as the hypnotist's words have over the hypnotized subject.”
Maxwell Maltz, Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded

脡mile Cou茅
“If you persuade yourself that you can do a certain thing, provided this thing be possible, you will do it however difficult it may be. If on the contrary you imagine that you cannot do the simplest thing in the world, it is impossible for you to do it, and molehills become for you unscalable mountains.”
脡mile Cou茅

Misba
“Not that she needs to mesmerize anyone in particular. She only needs to stop stuttering while her new family stares at her.”
Misba, The High Auction

Ashim Shanker
“Hyperbolic Suggestion is鈥攁s one might infer from the term鈥檚 literal interpretation鈥攁 method of suggestion induced upon the subject (or subjects), in question, through the blatant and immoderate invocation of hyperbole. Simply stated, excessive exaggeration induces a trance upon the recipient, rendering him or her remarkably susceptible to suggestion. Thus, through the use of a multitude of descriptive adjectives and superlatives, neural mechanisms and pathways are overloaded, as canals and bypasses are burrowed into the thick of the gray matter. The dendrites are, through this process, tuned to a predetermined frequency by which the seeds of suggestion can be sown. When this occurs, the subject becomes incredibly compliant to any orders given at a certain tone of voice. In some cases, orders need not be given. The subject鈥檚 attitudes might well be so affected by the hyperbole as to affect his natural tendencies...Emmanuel silently wondered if there existed a perfect combination of words or phrases that could somehow鈥攁s in the case of Hyperbolic Suggestion鈥攕ubvert even the most stubborn of wills. Then again, maybe it wasn鈥檛 so much the words as it was how they were spoken: if he achieved exactly the most desirable intonation, rhythm, timing, pitch and pronunciation in his speaking, would his verbal appeals somehow make greater inroads in garnering their consent? There had to be some optimal combination of aspirated consonants, diphthongs, facial expressions and inflection he could somehow affect in order to persuade them effectively. But it seemed that to search for this elusive mixture of ingredients would only prove an onerous task, conceivably of little benefit. In view of this sobering reality, he decided instead to try out a completely different approach from those previous: it occurred to him that his attempts at persuasion might be slightly more effective if he carried them out as dialogues, rather than as monologues.”
Ashim Shanker, Only the Deplorable

Auguste de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam
“You're doubtless well aware that most of the great hypnotic patients wind up referring to themselves in the third person, like little children. They see themselves from outside their own organisms, outside their own sensory systems. In order to get further outside themselves, and help them escape their physical personality, some of them, once in the state of clairvoyance, have the curious custom of re-baptizing themselves. The dream name comes to them, no one knows whence, and by this they INSIST on being called as long as their luminous sleep endures 鈥� to the point of refusing to answer to any other name.”
Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, Tomorrow's Eve

“Do this experiment: After reading a message, don鈥檛 reply immediately. Wait for 24 hours. The reply would be different from what you would have replied immediately. Maybe you won鈥檛 even reply. Words hypnotize us and make us react like a drunkard. Silence dehypnotizes us.”
Shunya

脡mile Cou茅
“Ainsi entendue, l鈥檃utosuggestion n鈥檈st autre chose que l鈥檋ypnotisme tel que je le comprends et que je d茅finis par ces simples mots : Influence de l鈥檌magination sur l鈥櫭猼re moral et l鈥櫭猼re physique de l鈥檋omme.

-

Understood thus, autosuggestion is nothing other than hypnotism as I understand it and which I define by these simple words: Influence of the imagination on the moral being and the physical being of man.”
脡mile Cou茅

脡mile Cou茅
“Toute maladie, presque sans exception, peut c茅der 脿 l鈥檃utosuggestion, si hardie et si invraisemblable que puisse para卯tre mon affirmation ; je ne dis pas c猫de toujours, mais peut c茅der, ce qui est diff茅rent.

-

Any disease, almost without exception, can give way to autosuggestion. However bold and implausible my assertion may seem; I don't say always yield, but can yield, which is different.”
脡mile Cou茅

Nancy Rubin Stuart
“While trances had long been associated with biblical figures and medieval saints, American audiences of this era had become familiar with a new type of dream state, the mesmeric or hypnotic trance first noted by the eighteenth century Austrian doctor Friedrich Anton Mesmer.”
Nancy Rubin Stuart, Defiant Brides: The Untold Story of Two Revolutionary-Era Women and the Radical Men They Married

Jean Baudrillard
“This is why, where art is concerned, the most interesting thing would be to infiltrate the spongiform encephalon of the modern spectator, For this is where the mystery lies today: in the brain of the receiver, at the nerve centre of this servility before 'works of art'. What is the secret of it?
In the complicity between the mortification 'creative artists' inflict on objects and themselves, and the mortification consumers inflict on themselves and their mental faculties.
Tolerance for the worst of things has clearly increased considerably as a function of this general state of complicity.
Interface and performance - these are the two current leitmotifs.
In performance, all the forms of expression merge - the plastic arts, photography, video, installation, the interactive screen. This vertical and horizontal, aesthetic and commercial diversification is henceforth part of the work, the original core of which cannot be located.
A (non-) event like The Matrix illustrates this perfectly: this is the very archetype of the global installation, of the total global fact: not just the film, which is, in a way, the alibi, but the spin-offs, the simultaneous projection at all points of the globe and the millions of spectators themselves who are inextricably part of it. We are all, from a global, interactive point of view, the actors in this total global fact.”
Jean Baudrillard, The Intelligence of Evil or the Lucidity Pact

“Every artist who moves us, from a movie maker to Beethoven or Shakespeare, is a bit of a
hypnotist. In this sense that seemingly stupid and mechanical contraption we call "society" must rank as the greatest artist on the planet. For instance, when I was seven or eight, and feeling superior to the kids who closed their eyes "during the scary parts," I was entering a deep hypnosis created by another Virtual Reality called language. This hypnosis was a worse nightmare than the Wicked Witch of the West or King Kong or the Wolf-Man or any of their kith and kin, but it made me a "member of society".”

“Each breath offers a new opportunity鈥攁 doorway to parallel existences often witnessed in dreams; that we are, indeed, multidimensional beings having an earthly existence.”

“Misconceptions about death are connected to misconceptions of what it is to be alive. Of these things you can be assured: consciousness is the creator of each reality within the multidimensional, vibrational Spectrum of Existence.”

“It鈥檚 time for the benevolent hypnosis of humanity. It鈥檚 time for positive, optimistic suggestion to be ubiquitous. Suggestion is an amazing power, the greatest human power of all. Advertisers use it all the time, and demagogues, and religious and spiritual leaders, and monarchs, and the super-rich elite. Submissives are extremely receptive to suggestions made by dominants. Throughout history, self-serving dominants have told the masses what to think, and the masses have duly thought it, even when it is against their own interests. This is the basis of false consciousness. We need to ensure that everyone gets a true consciousness. It鈥檚 time for a New World Order and a new, higher humanity 鈥� one that has a radically different relationship with suggestion. Suggestion must reflect the general will and be for everyone鈥檚 benefit. We have all the tools at our disposal to bring about an astonishing metamorphosis of humanity.”
Jack Tanner, The Second Mind: Accessing Your Divine Powers

“People resist changing because they fear what they may lose, the positive intention or positive outcome.”

“People resist changing because they fear what they may lose, the positive intention or positive outcome. If you can make her certain that there is nothing to lose, or that she will get something better, she will change her mind.”

“When referring to human connection, the term
"frame" describes the significance you assign to a given interaction and how you characterize what is happening.”
Josh King Madrid

“A Florida state trooper said he was always able to tell which accidents were the "highway hypnosis" cases because there were no skid marks on the road. Do not practice self-hypnosis when you drive!”
Anthony T. Galie, Take Control of Your Subconscious Mind

“Again he was transfixed by her appearance in the firelight, drowned in emotions he had never felt before, as if he was a bonfire himself and the only purpose of his existence was to give her warmth.”
Cixin Liu, The Dark Forest

Osho
“Idiots cannot be hypnotized. It is something to be remembered, that animals can be hypnotized, but idiots cannot be hypnotized. Animals may not have our kind of intelligence, but they have their kind of intelligence, they are not idiots.
The idiot is one whose mind has not grown at all, who is zero. He cannot understand what is being said, where it is going to lead him, and why he should do it. Intelligent conversation is impossible. The idiot looks like man, but inside he is far behind even the animals.”
Osho, Beyond Psychology: Talks in Uruguay

Keith Johnstone
“Many people regard 鈥榯rance鈥� as a sign of madness, just as they presume that 鈥榤admen鈥� must be easy to hypnotise. The truth is that if madmen were capable of being under 鈥榮ocial control鈥� they would never have revealed the behaviour that categorised them as insane. It鈥檚 a tautology to say that normal people are the most suggestible, since it鈥檚 because they鈥檙e the most suggestible that they鈥檙e the most normal! There are exceptions, but in most cases the very best Masks start off knowing the least.”
Keith Johnstone, Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre
