What is Hypnosis?
i. Sensory Awareness Feelings may be more forcible or numbed; sounds may seem louder, more sharp or quieter.
ii. Fixation - The subject becomes fascinated by an idea, an image, the sound of their heartbeat or breathing.
iii. Distortion of Time - It is common for an hour spent in hypnotic trance to seem much shorter, perhaps like just a few minutes.
iv. Logic - Rather like in the dreaming state, situations and environments which in the waking state would seem bizarre, appear entirely logical.
v. Amnesia - It is unusual for a subject to remember clearly what happened during the trance state. Recall is likely to be disordered and lacking in detail.

An Introduction to Hypnosis
The Human Mind
The human mind is composed of two elements, the conscious and unconscious. The conscious mind is the voice in your head, the one that you actively think with. It is critical and analytical, sorting information by comparing and noticing differences.
The unconscious mind contains your memories and intellect; it contains your emotions and directs your behaviour. The human mind is not physically separated into two; the terms conscious and unconscious are merely models for the way your mind works.
You may have heard the term ‘left brain-right brain thinking’, at heory which supports the idea that the conscious and unconscious minds actually reside in two separate parts of the brain. This is not the case.
In truth, although the brain is divided into sections which perform different functions, these sections are not clearly defined and do not reside exclusively in either the conscious or unconscious. Depending upon the physical, emotional or mental tasks required of these sections at any one time, they may shift between unconscious and conscious control. For instance, repetitive tasksare easily handled by the unconscious, but any task which requires continuous assessment and re-adjustment to circumstances and surroundings might be better performed by the conscious mind.Thus, consciousness is not fixed - it is a spectrum of awareness which changes and shifts throughout the day.
The hypnotic state is a natural part of our conscious awareness that we often enter automatically. You are going to learn how to induce this state artificially with the use of hypnotic techniques.
I would like you to consider just how quickly you are able to tie your shoelaces. It's just a matter of seconds isn't it. Nowthink about each individual stage required to perform that simple task. If you had to describe to someone how to tie a shoelace it would take quite a long time since there are an amazing number of separate operations required.
I imagine you can remember first learning to tie a shoelace, the amount of hard concentration required. And yet now you do it soeasily! That's because when you first tried to tie a shoelace you were using your conscious mind. Eventually, the repetitive operation became imprinted in your unconscious mind and now it takes no effort or concentration at all. This simple example isan effective demonstration of the extraordinary power of unconscious thought.
In the Chevreul's Pendulum experiment, we learned the power of suggestion; the ability to implant behaviour in the unconscious mind of somebody. This entirely natural ability, which we each possess, isthe main component of performing hypnosis and it is a skill, as we shall learn later, that can be developed and enhanced by careful use of language.

I was so jaded, but dont save me.
worst that i can say?
tired. I cant see my path, all my aims and all the goals that i've been forging, they are vanished
in a moment.
Pain that i know so well, either time don't, or it just wont tell. I've been searching for the answer,
crawling in the dark, i cant comprehend, something wasn't there... what's wrong with me?
Exam is over, I can't believe how it feels like. Not negative. I just left there rooting to the ground,
murmured to myself: WHAT I'M GOING TO DO NEXT?????
Can someone else guide me, can someone else save me,though i-dont-care!?!

The original sin of my name
【歲寒三友】指古詩文中經常提到的松、竹、梅。
松,是耐寒樹木,經冬不凋,常被看作剛正節操的象徵。
竹,也經冬不凋,且自成美景,它剛直、謙遜,不亢不卑,瀟洒處世,常被看作不同流俗的高雅之士的象徵。
梅,迎寒而開,美麗絕俗,是堅韌不拔的人格的象徵。

Love, Up against the wall

It's over, look out below my heart and I'm wasted. I still taste it yeah at least i tried so hard to let go. So breathe in now and then breathe it out.
I can't deny your eyes,you know I try to read between the lines but I saw a warning sign and then you threw me up against the wall. Who said that it's better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved at all perhaps no rewinds, no second times. And I won't break and I won't waste, everything you left behind. So don't follow but just let it go.
The weather's, been better. Don't let it be another...breakdown.

Explanation for Subliminal Persuasion (Extension)
You can subliminally persuade another person through two techniques: via his or her own words, and via inflection, or the particular words we give emphasis to in a given statement. A simple sentence like "I can't assure you that" can have a lot of meanings, depending on which word you have inflected. See the examples below.
I can't assure you that. (But somebody else probably can)
I can't assure you that. (No way that will happen!)
I can't assure you that. (But, if you're lucky, you might get it.)
I can't assure you that. (But I can if it's somebody else.)
I can't assure you that. (Maybe I can assure you something else.)
Giving off what we mean via inflection is subtle. It will also help spare you from being overtly direct, especially if you're the type who hates the thought of turning someone down. Understanding which words to emphasize will save you from this awkward moment (yet you still get to have things go your way).
Another way to subliminally persuade other people is to have them eventually agree with you without them noticing it (because they thought it was their idea). This is a rather tricky method of persuasion and not many people might agree with it. But, hey, it works! (ARM officer use to perform hypnosis in this way, when your brain starts to believe in something and it sink in fast!)
When negotiating, repeat what the other person said and then show how you will be able to achieve what they want for them. Be consistent so you don't run the risk of contradicting yourself. As long as you have what the other party needs, you hold an advantage.
Here's an example. Let's say you're trying to sell used cars to a friend. After listening to the other person tell you what he or she is looking for in a used car, emphasize the items being sought in the vehicles you have in your roster. It will be difficult for the other party to say 'no' since you already have what he or she said he or she needed. This is what subliminal persuasion is; and when employed the right way, it works like a charm every time.
There's nothing bad about using such clever persuasion techniques to get what you want. That's the way life is played. This is how the rest of the world operates. The important thing is always go for the win-win resolution. If your persuasion skills are powerful enough (and even cunning enough), you'll have no trouble winning people over.
Some like to call this influence; some argue this is foolery. However you might choose to view it, it is effective. And it won't be a surprise if you attempt to employ these effective strategies in the future; that is, if you haven't already applied them in the past.

The Art of Persuasion

Well, in my own words, having exceptional persuasion skills is one of the most essential abilities to possess in today's fast-paced society. We need the support and cooperation of other people to help us in our goal setting efforts. The saying "No man is an island" is an undeniable truth.
You can actually effectively influence and persuade anyone you desire. The fact is, you pretend to be Nice and Friendly. Watch, this is pretend, sometimes we think I should be nice and friendly; the worst thing I can tell you, you're still pretending. You intented to be friendly not because of nature of heart but a goal to set. (Still I have to continue with this..)
Well, smile to brighten up the day. Make a sincere compliment to encourage and raise their spirits. Simple little things like these count a lot. Make them feel that whenever they need support or just someone who can give them guidance, you'll always be there to lend a hand. They would tend to be more receptive to people that they trust and respect. This is art of Persuasion.
P.S.
If you want to ask your boss a favor, do everything you can to please him. Overdeliver and exceed his expectations. Soon, he will notice your efforts and can easily be receptive to your persuasion efforts.
Next, the evil of you enter their world!
You must understand the situation according to their point of view. Set aside your personal interests and focus on them. This is what you would do, don't you?
Just pretend that if you are them, what would you do? What would be your suggestion? Then take the appropriate action that would be beneficial to them.
Copy them. Observe how they act, how they speak, and how they think. If they rub their hands while they talk to you, act like them. If they speak at a clear and slow pace, try to do the same thing. This is called mirroring.
In due time, the people you're mirroring will subconsciously feel more comfortable with you. It's as if they see themselves in you.
However, you must proceed with caution. Mirroring is different from mimicry. Do not let them be aware that you are copying them. They might interpret it as mockery and you'll just get into hot water. And this is another art of persuasion.
Hence, the next thing you would do is to provide them with undeniable proof or evidence.
Explain to them how your ideas or opinions could be the most effective methods to implement. Show them undeniable proof that you have the best product by way of testimonials, before and after scenarios, and detailed comparisons against your competitors. Just make sure that all your claims are true and verifiable. Always maintain a good reputation.
At last, bing their mind and satisfy their existing needs and wants.
People are self-centered. They are initially concerned with their own well-being before others. If you can prove that your proposal will provide more advantages to them than to your own, then they will probably accept it. But beware, use the point wisely, you could only fit them in the appropriate situation. (How evil are you?)
If you could concentrate more on their interests, desires, needs, and expectations, then you would satisfy their cravings for attention. Moreover, it would show that you really care about them. Mutual trust and respect would be established.
This is the most important thing to remember when persuading anyone. No matter how close you are to becoming like them or how compelling your evidence is, if it does not satisfy the "What's In It For Me?" test, your persuasion endeavors will not produce satisfactory results. Always bear in mind how they will benefit from your actions. Be wise and this is Art of Persuasion.
From the research of ARM, No.16 (S.T. to No.52 & Prof Andrew Mayne featuring The Mind)
The Art of Sight

ARM makes me stronger, invulnerable. I know what I'm facing soon; people who just cant see you; people who don't make you exist and people who can see you. The only thing i could count on is those who can see me...
Materialistic, realistic, status, discrimination, classification, conquer or monopolistic and more. Is there anything can fill thier hunger? The desire of so many types of people, what makes you evil?
Conquer, since ice age, they fight for land; they hunger for glory; they fight for food. Barbarian maybe, are you?
Status, happens in contemporary paradise. Could you make some sense in their mind? More gold on your clothes, more gold on your face, more beauty on your pride? Is that what you mean? Rich in mind please.
I read a book "The Mind" which I borrowed from Prof. Andrew Mayne, the grand master of Art of Mentalist (gonna return the book to him d, still in toronto?!?) Fabulous content rooted me to the ground.
quote"read their mind as they near you, and you will read their art"
The truth is, the impression you make on people take control of what people think about you.
Do you ever think of they need you as a bridge to cross by?
Or...they need you so badly because who you are?
Your past, your existing, your future move.. it is all captured in their mind. If so, what would be your art of sight then?

The Birth of Number 16
"Join us" he said, Daniel G walked away with a smile. I was rooted to the ground by that moment. This is how I become the next stripper NumberSixteen, Army of Revolution Magic crew. I take over his place, and masqueraded and succeeding...
What I've become?
I bend over the moment, i take a grab. Registered my name under Daniel and Luke. I can only count on them as i'm a new officer there. Nothing is a clue when it happens to you. I handed over my zippo, and the name of Number16 is now on the market.
Guess this is how I started, my life change the time I step in this place, my new table, new gaffed deck, new coin and penny, new uniform.
Chilling under the cold, Sanyu.
