In this episode, David Snyder discusses the Mind Control Skills and Psychological Tricks for Removing Resistance. He covers the stages of learning, controlling our body states, state control, and he shares some important hypnosis tips and a useful book about willpower.
“We instinctively inherently resist anything that threatens how we see ourselves.”
“We resist what people tell us. But, we never resist what we conclude.”
“Whatever it gets there first has the most power. After that, the way you’re introduced to things will forever color everything that comes after it.”
“Context is power. If you can control context, you control pretty much everything else.”
“The person who holds the frame the longest and the strongest controls reality.”
“It’s the trance states that you access and the function and the degree of functionality within those trance states that determine your level of success.”
“Mind affects the body. The body affects the mind.”
“You have to learn how to get back into your bodies.”
We instinctively resist anything that threatens how other people see us.
We don’t know what we don’t know.
The only way that to resolve the conflict is to pretend it never happened. To generate a rationalization that justifies being able to go back.
We instinctively resist anything that contradicts or threatens what we accepted and believe and hold to be true.
Anytime we perceive a threat to our sense of personal freedom, free will, and autonomy, we get reactant.
Our greatest resistance can also become our points of greatest leverage.
Your sense of self, your sense of identity, is linked to your stuff. Your brain changes as the objects in the room change.
How we manage our body states determines the amplitude and the strength of the signal we send to another person’s nervous system. So it’s about how strong that signal is that we send, and the fastest way to generate that is by changing our body states.
Any form of emotion is neurological arousal. The higher the level of arousal in the nervous system, the faster your willpower checks out.
Our willpower will be the first thing to check out when we try to control our state because our emotional states are driven by our physiology and not by our neo-cortex.
Rapport will generate matching and mirroring. But matching and mirroring can’t generate Rapport.
