A Master of Neuro-linguistic Programming can put a person in a hypnotic trance

state and give them hypnotic commands or programs to think or act in a particular way.

If you doubt this, see the Woody Allen Movie, “The Jade Scorpion” and be careful that

you are not hypnotized by the movie itself.

As in Harry Potter, you must take a course in the Defense Against the Dark Arts of

Neuro-linguistic Programming. The following are some suggestions that have helped

me:

1. Self-appropriate your Consciousness using the following as self-hypnosis:

Meditate or repeat to yourself the following:

a. I experience, experience, understanding, and judgment.

b. I understand, experience, understanding and judgment.

c. I judge that I know reality, through experience, understanding, and

judgment.

(See generally, Insight, by Bernard Lonergan)

.
2. Appropriate the Ethical Matrix

a. For all my decisions I start with the follow moral scale of values

1. My autonomy is my highest value.

2. My enlightened rational self-interest is my second highest value.

3. My self-actualization is my third highest value.

4. My self-transcendence is my fourth highest value.

b. Think reciprocally such that you “treat another as you would want to be

treated in similar circumstances.

c. Think proportionally.

d. Use Equity and make an Equitable Exception based upon need.

3. Think probabilistically such that every statement you hear or read is assigned a

probability value of not greater than 99.99999%. For example instead of

treating every statement as true or false, give a doubtful statement a probability

of say, 30 instead of false or true. Treat a probability of 55% or greater as

being real or provisionally true.

If you engage in the foregoing mental techniques or programs then it is much

less likely that you will be subject to being hypnotized by someone. The foregoing is

insurance against the commonly used hypnotic technique of a person setting him or

herself up as an authority that you are commanded to obey.
