Elaboration 22
Dale Carnegie said that in advertising (group-ideation), the masses
could not distinguish between 'emphasis' and 'proof'. He had it from
a candidate for the presidency (Bryan). Indeed, as Hitler said (and
showed, with Goebbels etc.) pure propaganda without some form of
proof (or ascribed proof, (emphasis) ), is quite useless. True,
Marxist systems use the 'tell a lie often enough and it will be
believed' dictum, but the necessary effort then, is great, dissent
by common-sense remains. Repetition too, is a very useful strategy,
but always, accompanied with demonstration remains necessary.
Hypnodynamic techniques always use such 'proofs' by demonstrations
from trance induction strategies to the very curative suggestions
(ideas). The (leg) paralytic is demonstrated to himself that he can,
first attain trance, that he can think to lift his arm without
willing it, and then, that he can walk normally, and therefore, he
'shall' walk normally for the rest of his life. Demonstration, the
showing of facts, has the highest order of truthfulness, far higher
than e.g. physical laws (that may stop tomorrow, for all we know).
They show a clear cut fact as happening, as happened, (as history
rather). The same goes for Seneca's disease as well. Pity that he
did not know about these hypnodynamic techniques of 1920 in Nancy.
