https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May05Post.mp4 One man's problem is another man's opportunity. The same situation, seen from a more resourceful mindset, looks much, much different than it does to somebody with a more limited mindset. For example, plenty of guys get at least a little bit upset when their lady gushes over movie stars or musicians or athletes. Some see this as a sign of disrespect. That she should refrain from speaking about such feelings. Or even having such feelings. Most guys have a false beliefs that they are super hero alpha killers. That their gal MUST behave with utmost respect and deference. They even go on forums and complain that their gal is "misbehaving." Like a dog that peed on the carpet. How do I train my dog to stop doing this? All this is the PROBLEM state. What is the OPPORTUNITY within this problem? An unsatisfied woman. Very few men and women in relationships feel ABSOLUTELY satisfied. Even among life long best friends there are good things and bad things. But more importantly, how can you LEVERAGE this problem state? Of many, many, unsatisfied women out there? For one, understand WHAT specifically they want. That actor, that musician or athlete, what do THEY represent? The hero of every love story. The UNATTAINABLE goal. The MAN all the ladies are lusting for but can't have. Most guys, and most gals today are very BORING. We don't spark each other's emotions very well. For most of us, being sexually, romantically and emotionally STARVED makes it EASY for us to get into relationships. When you are STARVING, anything edible is good. This, again, is a HUGE opportunity. There is three basic steps to make it work. And work well. Step one, is you learn some basic storytelling skills. Storytelling that has heroes, deep emotions, romance and passion built into them. Then you drop in a few covert techniques. To subconsciously connect the FEELINGS in the stories to you. The next step is the EASIEST. Split. No not, like in gymnastics. But LEAVE. Leave her alone to think about the stories. To think about the emotions in them. And let her ancient cause-effect generator, that lives in EVERYBODY'S brain, to get to work. Meaning that every time she thinks of a hero, or romantic fantasy emotions, she will UNCONSCIOUSLY think of you. This will create a deep longing in her, that she, perhaps, has NEVER felt. Why do you think woman LOVE romance stories, vampire stories, forbidden lover stories? Be the one to CREATE those feelings in her, and you'll find out.

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May01Post.mp4 The halo effect is a real thing. Unfortunately, it's one of this things most people have a vested interest in NOT believing. Pretty people very much don't want to believe it. They want to believe their success is due to something BEYOND their genetic gifts. But it's pretty simple, both how it works and WHY it works. Step one is to understand what specifically makes pretty people, particularly pretty ladies, so "pretty." "Pretty" in modern terms is "healthy and can have a lot of kids" according to ancient caveman terms. So being more interested in pretty people was an evolutionary benefit way back in the day. This was back when our instincts did our thinking for us. Today we need to manage this stuff on our own. The way it works is simple. We look at a pretty person talking, and we find the thing they are talking about very interesting. What about if you are a dude? If you're decent looking, you've got some decent threads or bling, some status, that's essentially the same thing. Guys look at a pretty lady, and their INSTINCTS make them attracted. Ladies look at a high status male, and their INSTINCTS make them attracted. So far, no rational or conscious thought is required. But we aren't cave people any more. We can OVERRIDE our instincts with rational thought. And we can do this in a way that will INCREASE how attractive others find us. How so? One technique is by telling quick, broken stories. Most people tell stories linearly. This happened, that happened, something crazy happened, and everybody lived happily ever after. But you CAN break them up. Build up to the "mini climax," when something crazy happened. And then BEFORE you resolve that climax, start another story. And keep breaking them off BEFORE each climax is resolved. Why does this work? Because another one of our instincts is we HATE unfinished business. So no matter WHAT the content is of your stories, they won't have any choice BUT to be fixated on your stories. EXACTLY LIKE dudes can't help but to be fixated on hot ladies. And EXACTLY LIKE ladies can't help but to be fixated on high status dudes. Even BETTER is if you DON'T have status, bling or looks. Why? Because she'll be focused on you with rapt attention. But there won't be any obvious reasons WHY. So her ancient cave lady brain will have to come up with a reason. And that only obvious answer is she is MASSIVELY attracted to you. Where else can you find this kind of INEXPLICABLE attraction? Within her favorite romance stories. Do THIS and she'll feel like she's suddenly smack dab in the middle of a romantic fairy tale. With YOU as her prince. Learn More: https://mindpersuasion.com/hypnotic-seduction/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr17Post.mp4 We humans LOVE giving advice. It's so obvious what's wrong with people. If they would ONLY listen to us, all their problems would be solved. Unfortunately, we aren't Vulcans, or angels, or robots. We are primates that learned to talk. In the long scheme of things, we've only been talking, self-aware primates for a small span of time. What does this mean? This means our INSTINCTS do most of our thinking. It's very, very EASY to tell somebody what to do to lose weight, for example. "Hey, if you want to lose a few pounds, maybe you shouldn't eat so much?" This may seem silly, but most of our advice is JUST as useless as this. We say things like this AS IF we believe they've never considered this. As if the mysteries of weight loss are far beyond their comprehension. And they need us, super genius humans, to swoop in and explain the secrets of the universe to them. Another example is somebody who is in an unhealthy relationships. "Hey, don't you think it might be a good idea to break up with them?" As if they NEVER considered such genius level advice. Or maybe if somebody was on the verge of getting fired from their job, since they were always late. "Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you wake up an hour earlier?" Or perhaps you've got a friend who's got at test coming up and they need to study to not fail. "You know, it's much better to study a little bit every day, rather than wait to the end." Why do we think this OBVIOUS advice is helpful? Consider that we don't ACTUALLY believe this is something that they DON'T know. Then why do we "give" them this "advice?" Because it's not really advice. It's really a type of signaling. We are telling them that WE are better than them. That we KNOW things they don't. This doesn't make sense logically, but it does instinctively. As mentioned before, humans are PRIMATES. And to all primates, hierarchy is EVERYTHING. Consider one instinct that is always on, and deeply subconscious, is the never ending desire to TELL OTHERS what's what. In all these examples (weight loss, relationships, work issues, study issues), THEY were in a bad way. So by giving them advice, so they won't be in a bad way, we are talking down to them. The PRESUPPOSITION to all this advice is: "You are doing it WRONG. If you were more like ME, you wouldn't be so messed up. Because I know things that you don't!" This is why we all HATE receiving advice, but LOVE giving it. Luckily, there is a much better way. A way to actually HELP others. A way to "give" them advice so NOBODY thinks it is advice. Which means they'll take it, act on it, and actually get better. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/storytelling-magic/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr15Post.mp4 I've lived in, and have been to, plenty of countries where few people speak English. The first few times was pretty scary. It's one thing to be a tourist, and go to tourist places that are expecting you to not speak the local language. But if you're going to some neighborhood grocery store to buy something to eat, unexpected communication requires a lot of thinking. Two things that don't normally go together. Especially when they say something you don't understand, yet they are looking at you with a friendly, pleasant face and expect an answer. No matter how smart you think you are, this will make you feel like an idiot. Once I got over my initial fears of communicating, something else REALLY COOL happened. I started to notice the absolute MASSIVE amount of non-verbal communication. Whenever we talk to people in our native language, we RARELY pay attention to body language. When we are with our friends, we are relaxed. So we don't pay attention to the words OR the body language. When we are talking to somebody new, we pay ALL our attention to the words. But when you surround yourself with people speaking a language you can't understand, there is ONLY non-verbal communication. And guess what? Once you get over any anxieties you may have, speaking ONLY with gestures and other non-verbal communication is ALMOST enough. I've gotten directions, given specific instructions to barbers, and even had a conversation with a doctor while he was removing a cyst. All through gestures and other non-verbal body language. Most people will never truly experience, at least consciously, the VAST AMOUNT of potential of non-verbal communication. Being in a foreign country, surrounded by non-English speakers FORCES you to communicate through body language. But there are plenty of ways to practice this right where you are. It's like practicing anything else. It takes conscious effort, but it's worth it. Just a few minutes a day. And once you see how much information is being passed back and forth, it's like having access to an ENTIRE world of data. If you can consciously communicate in this language, when everybody else is doing it subconsciously and haphazardly? You'll be like the one-eyed guy who is KING in the land of the blind. And since you will be communicating on a level much more powerful than words, the words you do use won't matter nearly as much. Whatever you decide to talk about will be perceived as magnificent. Filled with charisma and magnetic attraction. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/storytelling-magic/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr14Post.mp4 One historian described the history of humanity as a scared and lazy people doing everything they could to become safer and work less. This sounds like a slam on humanity. But it's really true for ALL living creatures. There are two basic functions behind this statement. One is getting needed energy for survival. All animals need to do this. And they need to be as efficient as possible. Now, in our modern society, as much of a trainwreck it is becoming, this seems to be a no-brainer. You need food, you go to the store. Or order it online. But for the huge majority if life on Earth, getting food was very, very difficult. There was ALWAYS a battle, just like there is now, between the calories you burn, and the calories you consume. Every animal has that deep instinct programmed in the origins of it's DNA. Any animal that DIDN'T have that would go extinct. So right off the bat, getting MORE than energy than you burn is the prime directive. This is where the laziness comes in. Being lazy means spending as LITTLE effort as possible to get the MAXIMUM benefits. All animals have this. If they didn't, they wouldn't exist very long. How does this play out in modern life? If you are buying things you want to get the MOST VALUE for the LEAST amount of money. If you want to get laid, you want to get the HOTTEST partner with the least amount of risk. You want to find the EASIEST and QUICKEST to learn skills to get you the BEST career. Inventors and entrepreneurs that come up with inventions that make things easier for the masses get paid like crazy. All from the "lazy instinct." What about the "scared" part? In the quest for better returns for less effort, we can't die. Or break our legs, or get eaten by a bear. EVERY ANIMAL has this natural fear built in. This is exactly why Mountain Gorillas are on the verge of extinction. Wait, what? Mountain Gorillas, to us humans, seem utterly terrifying. But if one alpha Mountain Gorilla comes up against another one, they will feel a fear MUCH, MUCH more powerful than we will of them. That's why every troupe of mountain gorillas needs a HUGE area to live in. Their ENTIRE LIVES and instincts are built around NOT running into another group of gorillas. Because they need so much land, they are on the verge of extinction. What the heck does any of this have to do with anything? When you understand these two programs, fear and laziness, that are always running in EVERYBODY'S brains, you'll understand human nature. Human decision making. Human fears, human desires, and everything in between. Even better, you'll be able to pace where they are, and lead them WHEREVER you want them to be.

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr13Post.mp4 Why do we humans love stories so much? Not just stories, but storytellers? Maybe because they move us through some very powerful and enjoyable emotions. Way back in ancient Greece, they discovered the idea of Catharsis. Of being able to experience non-normal emotions, without having to experience the real and dangerous events that normally produce those emotions. Way back when they first started showing silent movies people were AMAZED. They actually believed that trains were going to come out of the screen. Today, that seems silly, but back then, when the technology was new, it must have been terrifying. Every since the dawn of time, we've been telling each other stories. Since this happens in EVERY culture and has been, it must be a human instinct. So the question is, what does this instinct get us? Instincts only are "kept" if they provide us with some kind of a benefit. So, what would be the benefit of storytelling, and story listening? One way to think about this would be to do a split test. Imagine two tribes of people. One with a storytelling instinct, one without one. Right off the bat we can think of TONS of benefits. When any of the non-storytelling hunters went out, all they would have in their brain is their own experiences, both good and bad. The successes, the failure, the deaths they've witnessed. On the other hand, consider the storytelling tribe. What would THEY have in their brain? Epic tales of heroes killing monsters. Of destroying the villain and winning the heart and love of the young gorgeous princess. Or however they thought of "princesses" back in the days of cave people. Another way to think of storytelling is as a way to implant post hypnotic suggestions. A guy is out hunting, perhaps not seeing anything worth killing. Then he sees a big lumbering wooly mammoth. A non-storytelling caveman would see that, and INSTANTLY imagine both the good and the bad. But a storytelling caveman? Since his head had been filled with epic hero stories, he would IMMEDIATELY see this "monster" as an opportunity of a LIFETIME. If could manage to kill this monster, he would be a HERO. All the dudes would respect and admire him. All the ladies would LOVE him. Two different situations. One guy's head filled with harsh life experiences. The other guy's head filled with epic heroic sagas of good guys, bad guys, brave heroes and grateful followers. This INSTINCT lives in all our heads. It has since the dawn of time. And it will continue to do so FAR into the future, far beyond what we can possibly imagine. Master this skill, and you will master everything.

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr11Post.mp4 There's a famous joke about a plumber. Guy has a flooded basement, so he calls the plumber. The plumber spends an hour in the guy's basement, but only looking around. Finally, he twists one connection, and it stops the leak. He charged the guy $500. The homeowner is a little upset. "$500? You only tightened on thing!" he says. "The $500 is not for the tightening. It's knowing WHERE to tighten," he replies. The opposite can happen too. You're in a conversation with somebody. You toss out a remark, you hope it will be funny. But instead, they storm off, angry. "What'd I say?" you ask. What WHAT to say is critical. Knowing what NOT to say is equally critical. For some people, this is just like the plumber. You can pay close attention to people talk for an HOUR. And then you make one comment, or ask one questions, and they feel FANTASTIC. This can be as important as remembering something they said earlier. Something they thought was important, but nobody else seemed to notice. This requires you get OUT of your head, and pay attention to the MASSIVE flow of non-verbal, mostly subconscious communication. Doing this in the abstract can be difficult. But you can make it much easier. Like the plumber. How? Just like the plumber knew ALL about flows and pressure, and where weaknesses in the system might be, you can understand human nature. Understanding the very basics of human nature will make reading the subtext of ANY conversation much easier. Even better is you don't really need to pay attention to the words. Or only the words that are accompanied with the right emotional energy. If you ONLY pay attention to the words, like most people do, you'll miss out A TON of information. If you ONLY pay attention to the words, you risk the unexpected angry storm off. With you wondering what just happened. But when you understand human nature, you'll begin to SEE, in real time, all the subconscious energy flow back and forth. This will give you a HUGE advantage of knowing what to say, how to say it, when to say it. When most people get hung up on conversations, they get stuck on the WORDS. But with the right underlying structure, ANY words will do. Wonderful words with the wrong energetic structure beneath them will miss their mark. But even the SIMPLEST words on top of beautiful structure will win EVERYBODY's hearts. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/storytelling-magic/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr10Post.mp4 I used to work at this place where we had a Friday food contest. It started with the regular donuts on Friday. Like in many offices, everybody would take turns bringing in donuts. Sometimes people would bring in bagels. But somehow, this ended up in a competition. Everybody tried to outdo the previous weeks' offering. Breakfast sandwiches, various homemade ethnic food. One guy brought in his famous chili. Gotta admit, it was pretty tasty. He couldn't wait to tell us his secret recipe. One of the things about chili fans is that EVERYBODY has their own secret recipe. Plenty of cities have chili cook-offs. Food is kind of cool that way. You start off with five or six basic ingredients, and you can create some FANTASTIC dishes. Plenty of YouTube recipes are like that. They advertise how SIMPLE the food is. The fewer ingredients there are, the easier it is to make. In a funny way, people are the same way. No, not to eat. We aren't talking about a cannibal party! But there are only a few things that drive our behavior. A little of this, a bit of that. We all have very similar desires. We all want more money, more sex, better relationships, a better job, a better place to live. We all have the same fears. Fear of getting left behind, fear of missing out, fear of negative social treatment, fear of messing up hugely and publicly. These fears and desires motivate all our behaviors. But unlike a pot of delicious chili, it's pretty EASY to help others feel better. For example, if you were to add some Tabasco sauce to your chili, you COULD add too much. Or salt, or whatever else. For food, the ratios have to be JUST RIGHT. Like Goldilocks. But for people, the MORE we feel our desires, the BETTER. This makes it very EASY to move people. How, specifically, can you do that? If you are in sales, it can be difficult. Elicit their criteria, expand their criteria, leverage their criteria. This can work, but ONLY if you have what they want. But for general mood boosting, it's much EASIER. Just talk to people like you normally do. Tell stories and anecdotes like you normally do. Whatever stories and experiences ALREADY exist in your head are fine. But when you slightly change the STRUCTURE, magic will happen. When you change the structure so they resonate with their deeper desires, they will feel FANTASTIC. How can you use this? Sales, seduction, persuasion, or just making people feel better when they talk with you. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/storytelling-magic/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr09Post.mp4 It's hard to communicate without using metaphors. Words themselves are metaphors. Auditory representations of mental pictures. One simple description can mean many things to many people. If I say: "Yesterday I saw a cute girl in the park with her dog." This sounds very specific. But every person who reads that will have a different idea of what each tangible nouns looks like. Even the ones that aren't mentioned. You'll imagine a pretty girl. You'll imagine a dog. You'll imagine a park. But each one of those have TONS of accompanying nouns. What kind of dog? Big, small? On a leash, running free? What does the cute girl look like? Young, old? Brown hair, blond? What kind of park? Green grass, barbecues, basketball courts? That one simple sentence conjures up TONS of mental images. Conscious and unconscious. According to those who study things like anthropology and history, this is the ONE THING we humans have that other animals don't. We can convey MASSIVELY COMPLEX pictures to one another with only a few sounds. Or even a few squiggly lines that we've learned as children. A few pixels on a screen that conjure up rich images. Even better, is we can come up with ideas, or ideas about things, that DON'T exist yet. And talk about these, and then make them real. This is what Napoleon Hill meant when he talked about turning thoughts into things. Sure it takes work, and effort, and trial and error. But everything that exists now was once a thought. All the good things, all the bad things, and everything in between. Even better is you can create emotions in others. Specific emotions. Specific chains of emotions. Take people from being bored to being excited. Take people from feeling afraid to feeling safe and happy. Take people from being ambivalent to feeling extremely attracted and affectionate. All with words. Of course, not just ANY words will do. If you picked a six or seven random words and tried them out, the response would be: Um, what? But there IS a specific STRUCTURE you can learn to create specific emotional responses. And yes, it does take time to learn this skill. But this is potentially one of the most LUCRATIVE and POWERFUL skills you can develop. This is the SAME SKILL that have moved people from poverty to massive riches. Understand human nature. Understand the human condition. Understand what people tend to feel normally. Understand how people really WANT to feel. And move them there with your words. Do this, and the world will love, respect and admire you. And pay you. A lot. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/storytelling-magic/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug07Post.mp4 There are two "best case" scenarios or outcomes if you are proficient salesperson. One is to eventually start your own company. This is risky, but it can come with massive rewards. The guys who invented the Go-Pro camera, essentially a camera on a stick, are ultra rich. But in order to make Go-Pro cash, you've got get Go-Pro lucky. You've got to go through a ton of risk, rejection, years of trial and hustle error, all without a guarantee success. So being very good in sales is really just an entry ticket. What's the other "best case" for the salesperson? Selling from the stage. This does require a few risks. But these are not REAL risks. If you start a business, you risk REAL money. But selling from the stage is like public speaking. The risks are imaginary. The costs are zero, or minimal at best. Consider two different professional speakers. One demands a huge payment. The other will speak for free, and will only receive commissions. Commissions from back of the room sales. The kind where when you finish your speech, people RUSH to buy whatever is in the back of the room. This kind of skill is in HUGE demand. This kind if skill IS ALWAYS and WILL ALWAYS be in huge demand. Selling expensive home study courses. Selling elite memberships to rich people. Getting people at a free seminar to sign up for a weekend seminar. Do this and you can work ONLY when you want. And get paid five figures each time. How can you get to this level? Well the public speaking part is easy. At least from an intellectual standpoint. Hit up your local toastmasters, and KEEP hitting it up until it's easy and fun. Which it WILL be. Once you get over the very common fear of public speaking, public speaking is like a DRUG. Standing up in front of people and talking is a VERY POWERFUL human instinct. This is the same instinct that makes power corrupt and absolute power corrupt absolutely. Just the IDEA of speaking to a crowd and motivating them is compelling. Just this skill alone, of feeling comfortable in front of a crowd, is worth a ton of money. But to take it to the next level, you'll need a big more. The ability to move people's emotions. The ability to drive people to action. And here's the best part. Once you can do this for ONE type of market, you can do this for EVERY MARKET. Because the STRUCTURE is the same. Which means once you get the structure down, you can wrap it around any content you want. Don't want to sell from the stage? No problem. Any time you want to talk, and move people (or a special person) this structure will do the trick. Learn More: https://mindpersuasion.com/storytelling-magic/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr06Post.mp4 Humans love to dream. Everything that exists today was once an imagination in somebody's head. Napoleon Hill talked about turning "thoughts into things." This idea is absolutely true, but unfortunately a little bit misunderstood. Yes, every single thing was once an imagination before it was real thing. Tables, chairs, basketballs, planes, telephones, racquetball courts, etc. Bees, ants, beavers keep building the same thing over and over. Humans are similarly programmed. Only we don't build the same things over and over. We slowly and continuously IMPROVE what's all around us. Here's where it gets a bit complex. Yes, "we" turn thoughts into things. Yes, everything was once a thought in "somebody's head. But this has always been a competition. EVERYBODY can dream about stuff that doesn't yet exist. But very few people can actually TURN those dreams into reality. This is basic economics. Everybody has a plan for a building downtown. They all pitch their idea to the city developers. Only ONE idea will be chosen. Since the DAWN OF TIME, every dude laid awake at night dreaming about how to BETTER acquire needed resources. The winner of the daily productivity contest got the most social validation, and the most sex. This is STILL true today. Musicians, artists, business people all DREAM of how to become the BEST at what they do. The rewards are still the same. More social validation, more money and of course, more SEX. This is the deep DREAM of every breathing human. If you can create something MAGNIFICENT, you will become famous. You will get paid. You will GET LAID. However, this is a crowded market place. There are the very few people who are actually on the front lines of creation. For example, for every A+ list actor, there are THOUSANDS willing to do ANYTHING just to get a few seconds on screen. People are SO desperate for Hollywood fame, they'd rather be in PORNO's than go home a failure. Here's a seemingly unrelated tidbit. During the gold rush, (1849) the people that got the RICHEST were not the diggers of gold. They were the sellers of gold digging equipment. Shovels, pickaxes, etc. Even Levi-Straus, the famous blue jean company, got their start selling special gold digging denim. What's this got to do with anything? Step one is to realize that EVERYBODY has a deep and relentless dreaming brain. Everybody has the never ending fantasy of doing SOMETHING, and then becoming rich and famous. You can COMPETE with them. Or you can leverage this information to CAPTURE their imaginations. To capture and lead their emotions. How? Tell them simple stories that RESONATE with the never ending human dreaming mind. Do this, and they'll associate their DEEP DREAMS with YOU. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/storytelling-magic/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr05Post.mp4 What does it mean to be charismatic? There are a plenty of ways. Charisma is a general label. One that means the person labeled as charismatic is VERY enjoyable to be around. There are two basic ways to do this. One is to focus COMPLETELY on other person. Not just lazy, fake focus. But real, genuine interest in who they are. Not just their looks, but everything about them. Most of us can ONLY do this with people we are physically or otherwise attracted. But charismatic people can do this with EVERYBODY. Now, most people believe this is some kind of genetic gift. One that some people have, and others don't. But it is something you can practice. But this kind of charisma has one very significant drawback. You can ONLY use it on one person at a time. Because it is focused on bringing OUT the best things about that other person. There is a different kind of charisma. One that can create attraction, desire, and fascination in AS MANY people as you want. Some people "try" to approach this when they learn various "techniques." Like doing card tricks or other interesting bar tricks. These CAN be very useful. We DO like magic. But this means you'll need to have a LOT of magic tricks up your sleeve. And when you run out, you run out. Show's over, Elvis has left the building. Since we ARE talking about magic tricks, there is another aspect of doing magic. And that is the magician's patter. A magician silently standing there doing tricks is interesting. But a magician that does SIMPLE tricks while telling INTERESTING and complex stories? Way better. In fact, with ONLY the storytelling part, you can do LOT BETTER than any random bar magician. Why? Because stories are based on STRUCTURE. You learn a magic trick you can ONLY do that magic trick. But once you learn a few story STRUCTURES, you can tell the same stories over and over and over. Just different content each time. Even better is that stories move us NOT because of their content, but because of their STRUCTURE. It is their structure that moves our emotions. It is their structure that will allow YOU to move their emotions. One at a time, or all at once. This is the ULTIMATE in charisma. To be in a random, organically evolving conversation. Somebody says something about the weird guy working at Jack In The Box. Somebody else says something about something kind of related. Then you slide in. "That's like this one guy..." you begin. Next thing you know, the entire ROOM is mesmerized. Hanging on very word. All their attentions in YOURS. Their emotions in YOUR control. And YOU forever in their memories.

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr04Post.mp4 If you rub your fingertip along the rim of a wine goblet, you can get it to "sing." If you hold the right note, you can break that same glass. This is difficult because you have to hold the EXACT frequency that the glass naturally vibrates at. There is a bay in Canada that has a HUGE difference between high tide and low tide. What do all these things have in common? Resonance. When you rub your finger along the tip of the wine goblet, you are "calibrating" the small "micro breaks" in the smoothness until it is the SAME frequency as the glass. When you hold a note, and it resonates an untouched glass, the glass will break. What about high tide and low tide? This is the same principle as a little kid in a bathtub. Moving back and forth with the water to slosh it all over the floor. When the moon creates the tide, it's the same thing. The difference between high tide and tide is a function of the entire system. The water depth, the forces of the moon on the sea, and the physical characteristics of the bay. Resonance is a fantastic concept. Most systems have their natural "frequency." And if you "vibrate" that system at it's resonance frequency, you can get some pretty big disturbances. Sometimes things break. Things that aren't supposed to break. Once the wind happened to match the frequency of a bridge in England. The bring was swinging wildly back and forth. Little kids understand resonance perfectly fine when they swing back and forth on a swing. This is very fun. To move only a little bit, (legs swinging back and forth) but to get some BIG movements. Our emotions also have certain resonance frequencies. And when you vibrate those emotional resonance frequencies, our emotions can feel FANTASTIC. This can be done through music, movies, books, even goofy TV commercials. And just like all the other resonance ideas, this is based on SCIENCE. It is no accident that all stories have the same basic structure. It is no accident that most music has the same basic structure. Human dreams, human desires, human fears also have the same structure. Learn to pace this structure, and you can make ANYBODY feel fantastic. Even better, it is just as repeatable as a wine goblet or a swing set. How, specifically, do you do this? Learn the deep and ancient story structure that has nature has embedded into our DNA. Speak in this structure and move people places they've NEVER been to before. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/storytelling-magic/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Mar27Post.mp4 Structure is everywhere. Joseph Campbell found that most myths from around the world have the same structure. One he called the "monomyth." Commonly called the "hero's journey." Same basic structure, over and over. Similarly, most popular music has the same basic chord progressions. Once you tune your mind to hear these common chord progressions, you'll see them everywhere. Structure is something that we need to choose to see. It's not something we normally see. Even if you've studied music or mythology your entire life, it's very EASY to "forget" momentarily about structure and focus on content. The melody and the words. The characters and their unique battles of good vs. evil. On the flip side, if you are a pop music writer or a Hollywood screen writer, you can essentially write the SAME THING over and over and over. Different melodies and lyrics on top of the same chord progression. Different characters and battles on top of the same hero's journey. Thought also has similar structure. This can give you huge advantage. How? Once you learn the basic structure of thought, you can talk about the same things and over. Sure, the people you are talking to will think you are talking about different things. Just like most people hear all the songs as being different. Or all the movies as having different characters and stories. But from a structural level, you will see them as being very similar. One of Joseph Campbell's books was called, "The Hero With 1000 Faces." This was because every hero is essentially the SAME CHARACTER. Dorothy, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Peter Parker, Neo, all go through the same character arc. Which means if you can understand the STRUCTURE of human thought, you'll have a massive advantage. The structure of thought is the same as the structure of language. From your perspective, you are having the SAME conversations over and over. From their perspective, you are one of the most profound conversationalists they've ever met. Or the most compelling salesperson they've ever met. Or the most romantic seducer they've ever met. Or the most engaging storyteller they've ever met. This will make it very easy for you to never worry about what to say. Never worry about what to ask. And just like movies and music, once you KNOW the structure, it's easy to flip to either side. Structurally, from a building side. Content based, from an enjoyment side. See the structure beneath words, and lead every conversation, and every emotion exactly where you want them to be. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/deep-mind-persuasion/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Feb13Post.mp4 Storytelling and hypnosis are very closely related. Therapeutic hypnosis and movies are essentially the same structure. You sit there and let another "entity" do your thinking for you. When you are in the therapist's office, he or she is talking, you've got your eyes closed, and your following along with their words. So long as their words are guiding you toward better and more resourceful emotions, you're pretty good. Similarly, when w watch a movie or even a TV show, we are letting the story do our thinking for us. Most of the time, this is just to relax our brain. But when a movie or show grabs our attention, it can move us through some very POWERFUL emotions. This is essentially what the Greeks discovered, and called Catharsis, way back in the day. A way to specifically move people through a series of specific feelings and emotions. In a way that would give them the feelings, but not of the risk. They could experience, pain, love, loss, grief, success, agony, etc., ALL without upsetting their real lives. The Hero's Journey story is essentially a well calibrated, motivational story. To give the hero enough confidence and get out there and kill the bad guys, and get the rewards. Fame, sex, admiration and respect. Most people spit words without much thought. We have half baked ideas and spit them out with randomly chosen words and phrases. But language is, or can be, EXTREMELY powerful. You can move people's emotions with your words. And once you realize this, you can move them ANYWHERE you want. To inspire, to motivate, to persuade, to seduce. And if you toss in a few well placed ambiguities, something very, very cool will happen. If you tell a story about dragons and knights, it can be pretty entertaining. But they'll remember it being about dragons and knights. But if you carefully calibrate WHERE you put in the specific vagueness, they will remember the story with THEM as the hero. Which means they'll take OWNERSHIP of the ideas in the story. This means with simple words, you can lead ANYBODY to make any decision you want. All while believing it was their idea. Not yours. They'll fall in love with you, if you want. They'll give you money, if you want. They'll wish they'd never met you, if you want. And anything else you can dream up. This hypnotic storytelling skill can be used anywhere words can be spoken. Clubs, bookstores, shopping malls, telephone calls, or anywhere else you can dream of.

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jan20Post.mp4 You can make a strong argument that written words are what gives us humans the ultimate advantage. Way back in the days of cave people, spoken words ruled. If you had the best ideas, the best ways of describing your ideas, you'd be in pretty good shape. If you could tell stories around campfire every night that would motivate and inspire all the young hunters, you'd be in pretty good shape. One way to think of these campfire stories is a way to slowly implant post hypnotic suggestions. Normally, when we think of post hypnotic suggestions, we think of movie hypnosis or stage hypnosis. Every time you hear your name, you'll jump around like a kangaroo. Even in the movie, "The Manchurian Candidate," they had the idea of a post hypnotic suggestion. The secret assassin would get a call, hear the secret phrase, and suddenly shift into assassin mode. How would this play out in ancient hunter-gatherer story telling? All the young kids would understand the adults need to go out hunting every day. And they would invariably experience death, or loss. Ten guys would go out hunting, and only nine would come back. So before they were very old, they would realize that hunting is both necessary, and VERY dangerous. So the stories told HAD to inspire them. To give them a positive motivation to hunt that HAD to be stronger than the fear. What kind of stories were they told? The same structure that is in modern books and movies. That fighting the bad guys is dangerous, but necessary. Necessary to protect your friends and family. But if you DO manage to kill the monster, the rewards are ENORMOUS. Fame, fortune, and the admiration of all the young ladies. This is, in a nutshell, the hero's journey, What, specifically, is the post hypnotic suggestion? That when you see the monster, you'll feel courage, motivation and deep desire to destroy him. This is the power of words. Spoken words are incredibly powerful. Written words much more so. Sure, they lack the tonality, the expressions, the social cohesion of all the kids listening to and responding to the story in real time. But what they lack, they make up for in potential scale. If you write an effective story, it could resonate for years. Across generations. This is precisely why copywriting is a powerful skill to develop. Sure, you could be a novelist or a scriptwriter. Write something that will entertain people. But if you can write words that move people, persuade them, spur them to action, this is real power. This is the human spirit. To read and write moving messages that make us feel incredibly courageous, so we can overcome our fear and destroy the demons. This is real, tangible, magic.

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Dec10Post.mp4 There's a pretty cool technique from covert hypnosis. It's called "blurred realities." It's when you are quoting somebody, but it's not clear who. This can create a sense of confusion. Confusion is kind of like taking up brain processor resources, so you can slip ideas into their brain more easily. For example, if you walked up to a really cute girl and said: "I think you're pretty. I think you should give me your phone number." It would be absolutely clear what was going on. Saying that directly, unless you were super confident, would make you nervous. Hearing that directly, unless SHE was super confident, would make her nervous. Nervousness tends to HEIGHTEN the conscious critic. On the other hand, supposed you walked up and said this: "Hi, you remind me of my brother's wife. When they meet he walked right up, looked her in the eye and said, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, I think we should be together." This is also referred to as the "quotes pattern." It allows you to say some blatant things to people with absolute plausible deniability. Another way to use the blurred reality is to tell a bunch of stories within a bunch of stories. And inside one of the nested stories, one character is talking to another character. But the things that character says to the other character also hold true other stories around that middle story. They also can work between the story teller and the story listener. This will give the listeners are very slippery feeling their brain. It is a very real, very unexpected, and very fuzzy hypnotic effect. And it will make you, the storyteller, seemingly capable of real magic. But there's also another way to use the blurred reality technique. Start to talk about your own abstract feelings and emotions. Not just the direct emotions, but emotions about emotions, and judgments about emotions. This takes some courage, since you'll need to look inside and explore your own emotions. But here's the cool part. We ALL, more or less, have those same emotions and meta emotions. So when you talk about your own emotions, you can apply the blurred reality technique. By deliberately using your pronouns in a specific way, even though YOU are talking about, and referencing YOUR OWN inner emotions, the other person will start to believe you are reading their minds. Which will make you seem like a much more powerful wizard. A mind reading wizard. Something most people only believe exist in movies and comic books. But there you are. In the flesh, performing real magic. Learn How: https://mindpersuasion.com/cold-reading/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Nov28Post.mp4 Most of us love movies with an unexpected twist. Like when the "Sixth Sense" first came out, people couldn't stop talking about it. Whether it was done deliberately is anybody's guess, but this kind of thing is a fantastic marketing strategy. One, because it's a great way to create word of mouth, free, advertising. Two, it induces people to watch this again and again. The first time, you see the twist and you're: "Whuhhh????" The second time you watch it through trying to see all the things that SEEM obvious the second time around, but were completely hidden the first time around. This is storytelling at it's finest. When you tell a story, people talk about that story, and people want to consume this over and over again. Essentially, this is how the storytelling instinct was calibrated, over tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of years. Every night, somebody in the tribe would tell a story. Probably most of them were pretty lame. People would fall asleep halfway through. People would wander what kind of secret weed the storyteller was smoking. But every once in a while, you'd get a "Sixth Sense" type story. These are the stories people would remember. And then retell. You have a whole bunch of tribes all telling and retelling the BEST stories from all time, and you end up with a pretty good collection. This is essentially how mythology is formed. The stories that make up the collective consciousness of any culture. Storytelling is an instinct. Story listening is an instinct. And just like our food instinct, some stories "taste good" and some taste kid of lame. And just like you can LEARN to cook good tasting food, you can LEARN to tell some pretty decent stories. The "twist" is the basis of pretty much all humor. You tell a long story, and the "punchline" is the ending that is NOT what everybody expected. Or an ending that has a few meanings at the same time. In non-humorous story, this "punchline" isn't called a punchline. It's called the twist. Or sometimes the "reveal." This word has the same meaning of the "reveal" at the end of a magic trick. This is essentially the same feeling of a well told story. A magic trick, but only with words. This is why stage magicians who practice sleight of hand are ALSO some of the very best story tellers. Being able to use your words to create mind magic is a FANTASTIC skill to have. It will open plenty of doors in ways few people know exist.
