I think the most interesting aspect of this document is the notion that hypnosis can be ideological.
"From 80 to 90% of the population can be hypnotized to varying degrees...At least 5% (10,000,000) of the U.S. population is extraordinarily hypnotizable, so easily hypnotizable that they are in a constant state of exaggerated suggestibility, even when awake and going about their normal daily routine. They are at the total mercy of all forms of influences and can easily be persuaded to do things and afterward have no idea why they did them..."
"In the last ten years physicists have been extraordinarily noisy about the immense powers, that largely through their efforts, but through other efforts as well have come into the possession of man, powers notably and strikingly for very large scale and dreadful destruction. We have spoken of our responsibilities and our obligations to society in terms that sound very provincial, because the psychologist can hardly do anything without realizing that for him the acquisition of knowledge opens up the most terrifying prospects of controlling what people do and how they feel. This is true for all of you who are engaged in practice, and as the corpus of psychology gains in certitude and subtlety and skill. I can see that the physicists pleas that what he discovers be used with humanity and be used wisely will seem trivial compared to those pleas which you will have to make and for which you will be responsible."

The OP has it all wrong
It's not Mass Hypnosis

So what would be my problem? I voted for him. I am not an undying supporter of every single thing he does but I am still far more satisfied than I could ever imagine anything McPalin had to offer.
The thing is, I do not listen to speeches. They are one sided and set up to sell a point. I am not into that. I read. I guess I need someone to explain to me how Obama hypnotized me.

Above all, the person must be willing. No one can hypnotize you if you don't want to be hypnotized. Your natural defenses in your mind will prevent this from happening.

Nice one though...when all else fails, blame it on mind control.

WoW, the SAME people in the beginning of the thread that did NOT read the pdf are now stating the OP is using the VERY items that are prevalent in the pdf.
They FORGET to mention that it is a VERBAL technique and CANNOT be replicated in a written setting.

It is a common misunderstanding that one cannot be hypnotized except if one is wanting to be hypnotized. In fact we are all under hypnosis without even knowing it. 100%. We are all in a state of psychosis. We are all conditioned and groomed. We are all the "manchurian candidate" just waiting for the trigger word. It has always been thus and will always continue to be thus. Knowing about this changes nothing. Whether we like it or not is of no importance, since there is absolutely nothing that we can do about the situation. Using Transcendental Meditation "ZEN" it is possible to observe the workings of the mind, in an effort to track where the thoughts are originating. However, one cannot stop the thoughts. The thoughts arise anyway. We are like leaves blowing along in the wind. The forces that control our destiny are higher dimensional and completely outside of our consiousness domain. The subconsiousness domain is infinite and eternal and an absolute mystery. Invisible to our consciousness. Pretending like as if we are in control of our destiny is just one big lie. Like as Jesus is recorded as saying in the Gospels as regard to the pharisee [political authority] they are blind leaders of the blind and foolish leaders of the foolish.
