One of the greatest strengths of advanced hypnosis is the ability to make people do things unknowingly.

This is not to be confused with making people doing things they do not want to do. It’s simply using the power of suggestion and integrating some amnesia techniques to strongly encourage a behavior. It is unlikely you can get someone to rob a bank, for example, because this is a behavior most people would normally appose to so their subconscious mind would not allow that to happen.

Learning how to hypnotize is a helpful technique to get people to agree with you more or to commit to something they are considering. The trick, though, is that people are more likely to follow suggestions they don’t actually remember. When you recall why you are doing something, you’ll stop and think about why you are doing it. If you have complete amnesia though, you are just performing the functions without stopping to ask why.

Integrating amnesia into hypnosis is the key to getting people to do things that cannot be resisted. The exact process is quite detailed, but the basic concept is to:

• Give the subject a series of suggestions on the you want them to perform
• Use one of the suggested amnesia techniques:
  • Directly suggest amnesia
  • Metaphoric amnesia
  • Amnesia through a distracter
• Encourage taking action and give direction on how to complete the task

When you can combine the power of suggestion with techniques to create amnesia, you can successfully get anyone to do, think or act upon just about anything you suggest - even if it is beyond their capability.

Some things can be accomplished when remembered, but others are more powerful when forgotten.
