Chapter 1 Course Structure

1. Introduction
First and foremost, thank you for purchasing this course. Throughout this course you will be learning certain aspects to reality that few people know to exist. You will learn about how to persuade other people to do things for you, how to make them feel comfortable and happy to be within your presence, and how to make your lovers and companions loyal to you. You will also learn about the techniques that psychics, clairvoyants, stage hypnotists, politicians, leaders, TV evangelists, spiritualists and many other types of professions use in order to omit a sense of authority and command respect from large groups of people. The techniques you will learn in this course are no laughing matter, and can be used for purposes of good, or bad. I am teaching you these techniques only in the good faith that you will use them for good purposes, to help both yourself and others. I do not ever condone the use of covert hypnosis on anyone without their permission. So just what is covert hypnosis exactly? Covert hypnosis is essentially a way to hypnotise people outside of their conscious awareness. It works by influencing a person's subconscious mind as opposed to their conscious mind. Throughout my use of covert hypnosis I have found that there are three primary fields that must be learned in order to execute covert hypnosis successfully, and these three fields are Hypnosis, NLP, and Mentalism. Hypnosis is essentially the art of hypnotising people. NLP teaches you the ways to apply hypnosis discreetly, outside of peoples conscious awareness. Mentalism teaches you ways to give people false illusions. These false illusions can be used to create an environment where people are vulnerable to hypnosis and suggestion. When these three fields come together, many things become possible. This is what covert hypnosis is, the art of being able to use Hypnosis, NLP and Mentalism together as one in order to achieve your goals. With this course you have received 20 audio files that you can listen to for your convenience. These audio files will cover everything that's written in this book, so if you'd rather listen to them as opposed to reading this book then you may do that.

It is important however that you do NOT listen to these audio files when driving, operating machinery or doing any other task that requires concentration or responsibility. This is because you may be guided into a state of hypnosis whilst listening to the techniques taught throughout the course. There will be examples given of hypnotic inductions, so you need to be aware that there is a chance you may fall into hypnosis. For this reason only listen to these audio files when you are in the comfort of your own home, and have no obligations. It is recommended that you now read or listen to the following section in order to understand how this course is structured.

3. What To Expect
By completing this course in accordance with the Study Guidelines, you can expect to achieve a powerful form of confidence and have an ability to communicate with people unlike you ever have before. You can expect to be able to make people do things for you, quite happily, by applying the various techniques that you will be taught. With that being said, covert hypnosis does have its limitations. To start with, you cannot use covert hypnosis, or any other form of hypnosis, in order to bend people against their will. Covert hypnosis works only when a person wants to experience what you're asking them to experience. The trick is in creating the desire for the person to experience something. If you can create this desire, then you can effectively make a person do anything, however they must always be willing to do it.

We can create this desire from a subconscious level, outside of the person's conscious awareness. This means that a person may think they want to do something by their own free will, without realising that you were the one who planted the suggestion. So whilst covert hypnosis can be a very powerful way to have people do things for you, it also has its limitations. Let's look at some common misconceptions surrounding hypnosis. Some Misconceptions Surrounding Hypnosis Hypnosis is not a field without its misconceptions and myths. Before you proceed any further in this course, you should make yourself aware of just what hypnosis is exactly, and what it is not.
Myth #1: Hypnosis can be used against peoples will.

Hypnosis cannot be used against a persons conscious will. As you delve deeper into this course and gain an understanding of the critical mind, you will learn that people will reject suggestions that they dont agree with. Now there is a twist however. A lot of hypnotists dont know how to incorporate NLP and Mentalism into hypnosis in order to make a person want to do something that they normally wouldnt want to do. Learning how to do this requires an advanced level of knowledge which will come much later in this course. It is important to understand however that the moment a person consciously does not want to do something, then they wont do it.
Myth #2: Hypnosis is just placebo

Whilst placebo plays a role in hypnosis, hypnosis certainly isnt just placebo. Scientists have conducted many experiments showing different brain wave functions that are unique to a person experiencing hypnosis. When people are guided into various states of trance and given suggestions, they will often act upon those suggestions many years in the future, even whilst consciously forgetting any suggestions that may have been planted within them. Phenomena such as this cannot be explained due to placebo alone.
Myth #3: Hypnosis offers a means of mass mind control

Whilst hypnosis has been used on vast amounts of people throughout the ages of history, and is still used today by politicians, leaders, advertisers and other people that attempt to sway the masses, the notion of mind control is an incorrect one. Hypnosis cannot ever control a persons mind, it can only offer that person suggestions, which the persons subconscious mind must act upon in order to make a reality. Hopefully by clarifying these common myths you will have a better idea of what hypnosis is capable of, and what it is not.
