The thoughts you carry around in your head will have a huge impact on how you interact with the world, and how the world (all those folks out there) perceive you. If you walk around with ideas of low self worth, and other misguided notions of who you really are, people are going to know. […]
The Myth of Reality
There are two kinds of reality. The objective, measurable, reality “out there.” Then there’s the subjective, interpretive reality “in here.” The “out there” reality is what can be observed, measured, recorded, and later studied. The “in here” reality is based on our subjective biases, filters and beliefs. One problem with human nature is that we […]
Get Their Imagination On Your Side
The great thing about using somebody’s imagination to support your ideas is that you don’t really need to know the content of their imagination, just the structure. One of the most profound things about studying and applying covert and conversational hypnosis is the difference between “content” language and “structure” language. When you speak in content […]
How Deep Does This Rabbit Hole Go?
Language is an incredibly complex phenomenon. Folks that study this kind of thing can only guess when, where, and why it started.

There’s two ways of looking at the world, one is as a kid, and one is as an adult. The two are very different, and will get you very different results. First, take a look at the “kid” model. Kids don’t have a lot of skills. Everything they get comes from their parents. They don’t […]
The Most Crucial Element of Persuasion
There’s one easy, straightforward step of any persuasion that is absolutely essential. But most people don’t treat it as such. Whenever you intend to get somebody on board, either for a huge multi-million dollar contract, or for miniature golf instead of dinner and a movie, rapport is essential. I know, I know. This is obvious. […]
The Ideal Model For Consistent Seduction
How you view the world, or your model, will have a profound impact on your ability to get what you want, through interactions with people in the world. If you think the world is a cold and miserable place, all you’ll see when you’re out and about are people that will take the first opportunity […]
How To Get The Crowd On Your Side
If you want to “win” people over to your way of thinking, there’s plenty of ways to do it. Some win-win, some not so win-win. The best way to get anybody to do anything is to “help” them make the decision on their own. Just supply the right ingredients, and let them come to their […]
