Introduction

People's beliefs and convictions are in almostevery case gotten at second-hand, and withoutexamination, from authorities who have notthemselves examined the questions at issue but havetaken them at second-hand from other non-examiners,whose opinions about them were not worth a brassfarthing.

Mark Twain

Why do smart people do dumb things? Infact, why do you do things that you know arenot wise? Why do you drink, smoke, eat toomuch, spend too much, eat the wrong food, orsay the wrong things? Could it be that you areunder a spell and don't even know it?

Before you laugh and say that such an idea isabsurd, ask yourself why you have done some ofthe dumb things that messed up yourrelationships, your health, your finances, or yourlife.

How about all your compulsions andobsessions? Do you really want to bite your

12

nails, get upset at traffic, or spend too muchmoney?

Could it be that you are not in control ofyour own life?

Do you ever feel out of control? If so, what areyou reacting to and why can't you just stopyourself?

We read in the Bible about something calledoriginal sin, and we are told that the human raceis laboring under a curse of sin from which weneed to be set free by the Messiah.

Could it be that something as simple andseemingly innocuous as hypnosis is part of thecurse of sin? Perhaps the curse of sin is the spellof sin, and our misdirected life is what we dounder the spell. So just who are the hypnotistsin your life who know how to push yourbuttons, get inside your head, upset you, andmotivate you?

This book hopes to answer some of thesequestions and also give the reader clues towaking up from any trance they may now be in.

What could be more natural than to be fullyawake and living with wisdom? If you couldfind this fully awake and aware state, you couldresolve your issues and err no more. You couldregain control of your life and move forward tofind your purpose for existence.

- 1 -How to Solve Your

Problems

If you want frustration and resentment toleave your life, then simply learn the art of notsetting goals. If you have no goal, then there willbe no more striving, frustration, futility, orresentment.

Goals are almost invariably not your own, butwere given you by someone else. That is whyyou feel pressure when you think of a goal, andalso why goals give you a vague discomfort anda sense of futility. The goal is not your goal.

Someone in your past was a motivator(hypnotist) and in a moment of excitement orresentment, you took in the suggestion. Afterthat you are compelled to give yourself to thegoal and sacrifice your life to it. When you feelso frustrated and unhappy about it that you can

14

no longer stand it, you might try to rebel—likequit your job, quit school, or label yourself afailure. You might do the opposite of what youwere pressured and motivated to do, like eatingtoo much again instead of dieting, or drinkingand smoking again instead of abstaining. Butyou are not happy with these either.

Your struggle against the goal (someone elsegave you) only makes it stronger, and even ifyou throw in the towel and stop trying, the goaland the voice of the tempter is still there in yourmind haunting and tormenting you.

Think about it. If you were doing what isnatural and intuitively realized, why wouldthere be any frustration of futility associatedwith it? What could be more natural than justliving wisely and doing the next right or wisething?

It is actually possible to live a happy andstress free productive life, one realized fromwithin and one which brings a sense ofimprovement without struggle and frustration.

Your problem is that you have becomehypnotized, and it happened when you wereupset or resentful. You did not know what washappening to you, and that is why I am writingthis book, so that I can expose the everydaymechanisms of hypnosis under which you arecurrently laboring and suffering.

People were cruel and teased you, and thenyou took in their suggestion. If they told youthat you were stupid, and you bought the

15

suggestion, then you spent the rest of your lifeunconsciously making their prophesy come trueby acting stupid which is the suggestion youaccepted.

Chances are, you might have become angry attheir suggestion (which is how it got in), butthen struggled against it—making it stronger.

Other hypnotists were wheeled into placewho took over, since you were already in ahypnotic trance, and they suggested ways ofproving that you were not stupid.

They challenged you to study, and said that ifyou got degrees then you would not be stupid.Perhaps you still thought you were stupid, butother hypnotists suggested that if you were agreat dancer, entertainer, athlete, or popular, itwould take away the curse.

So you did everything the coach, teacher, orthe peer group said would make you smart, rich,or popular.

But none of these ideas were your own,though you may have gleefully gone along forthe benefit. All the unhappy, addicted, andsuicidal Hollywood stars who are miserable andout of control, proving that following other'sgoals for you, even if such goals bring a measureof worldly success, will not bring happiness.

I used the example of someone being called"stupid," and then taking in the suggestion andacting stupid, or struggling against it, but thereare as many suggestions are there are wicked,loveless and misguided people to make them.

16

You will have to meditate to come up fromyour hypnotized state and become aware, andthen you will be able to slowly begin to see allthe suggestions that have resulted in yourfrustrating, unhappy, compulsive, compensated,unfulfilling lifestyle—one that will kill youunless you wake up from it.

Since your are walking in your own shoes youwill have to see just what the unseen influenceshave been on you, how goals you thought wereyour own are not, and just who the hypnotistwas who first set you on your course of error.

All I can do here is point out the phenomenonto make you aware of it, describe it, and offersome clues to help you see the origins of yourown issues, so you can start to break free.

Beware of the grace robbers who injectthemselves into a natural thing and ruin it if youare not aware and careful. When a child is seento have ability in some area—such as playing amusical instrument, or in some sport—parentsand other loveless authorities see it as theirbounden duty to begin to egg the child on towork, study and compete to become great andfamous. At first the child naturally enjoys thetasks, but through struggling and striving at thebehest of the authority which has become themotivator, the child will soon be striving toachieve and win, instead of functioning with joyout a natural and timely interest.

Some kids begin to buckle under the pressureand falter. Others keep trying and succeeding

17

but are unhappy. Others try and fail, and thenblame themselves or commit suicide. Everyonewonders what went wrong, and no one suspectsthe doting pressure monger parent and theloveless teachers and coaches she turned thechild over to.

Some kids will eventually throw down theirmusical instrument and never play again. Theyhate it, but they really hate the pressure from theauthority and have transferred the hate to theinstrument or to themselves.

This is sad because the child really did havetalent and a natural interest in the activity. Hadthe child been provided opportunities butinstead of being pressured and challenged, wasshielded from loveless pressure, the child mighthave become a successful artist or athlete, butalso happy and joyful instead of miserable andcompensated.

Other kids had ability in some area, but it wasnot really in accord with what should have beentheir natural enfoldment. Their true calling wassuffocated while they were forced to achieve in acertain line that was not really natural for them.

This does not mean that it is wrong for peopleto take a job or learn a trade out of necessity orexpediency to earn a living, provide for theirfamily or survive. But you can see that there ishere a common sense motivation, so it doesthem no harm and often turns out to be bothhealthy and leads to a natural success. You see, itis done with a practical or altruistic motive, or

18

perhaps no motive at all, other than to do thenext right thing. This is a far cry from studyingin order to please mother, teacher, and otherpressure mongers who come along.

Of course the guilty and wicked pressuremongers will twist my words and accuse me ofsaying that kids should allowed to beundisciplined and allowed to run wild withoutdirection. They say that unless a child ismotivated, the child will not succeed.

Those who themselves have been pressuredknow nothing else but pressure. They have lostthe ability to function without pressure. All theyknow is being pressured and pressuring others.

But the truth is that the welfare roles, the skidrow areas, the rehab clinics and the insaneasylums are filled with people who are therebecause of the pressure. It was the inhumanpressure to succeed that drove them to failure.

People like Albert Einstein and AppleComputer founder Steve Jobs, succeeded in spiteof the pressure. Albert Einstein rebelled againstthe authoritarian practices he was subjected to,and his learning took place on his own. ThankGod he did not become a marijuana smokingdropout from the system, or a loveless unhappypressure source himself. He would have lost hiscreativity, his innocence and his joy.

Most people do not know how to rebelcreatively. Instead they rebel by turning todrugs, gangs, or graffiti.

19

The secret to success is to learn to functionfrom inner motivation despite external pressure.

And for parents, the secret to loving parentingis to provide direction and example, withoutimpatience and without seeking to motivate or"build character." Were you to succeed throughseduction or cruelty to make the child into acompliant zombie or clone of yourself, youwould have only "succeeded" in actuallydestroying real character—which is a naturalunfoldment from within.

When learning is natural, intuitive, and in linewith a person's talents and interests, it is adiscovery process that is timely and joyous.Moreover, that is the way that God wants us tolearn: it's more of a discovery process, likediscovering what you already know in yourheart.

But through manipulations and pressure, themisguided parent or teacher would havesubstituted herself for God and intuition, andthe child will become forever dependent onpressure from her and people like her in order tofunction. So watch out for doing unto yourchildren what was done unto you.

Realize that you have not been living yourown life. This is one of the most awesomerealizations, but one that you must eventuallymake if you are to take back control of your lifeand be free.

After you have been pressured away fromyour center, you became externally oriented.

20

Then all you knew was conformity andrebellion. Neither extreme is good. When facedwith a decision, and there was no immediatepressure source around you to direct yourbehavior, you hunted and pecked in your animalbrain, looking for an idea that was pressureeducated into you. When you do not find any,you become anxious, not knowing what to do.

Perhaps that is one of the reasons why we areall so authority oriented—we want someone todecide for us, absolving us of responsibility andthe need to endlessly plan, scheme and struggle.When decisions are made for us, we simplyfollow.

The problem is that the kind of authoritieswho presently rule this world are the types whowill set ambitious goals for you and thenmotivate, pressure, or manipulate you intostruggling toward the goals they set for you.

Even when we abdicate our will to another inorder to avoid the guilt and frustration ofdeciding for ourselves, soon we are doing theirwill, which leads to the same guilt andfrustration, as we struggle and strive towardsome goal they have set for us.

What I want you to see is that your problemsstem from setting goals, those you set yourself orthose others set for you.

Even the smallest goal can cause conflict. Allyou have to do is make it a goal to get to thefront of some line first, and you becomedehumanized. You rush for the line, forgetting

21

manners or even safety. And if another getsthere before you, you resent them. Gone is loveof your neighbor. Instead a mean spirit enters,and suddenly the only thing that is important isattainment of your goal. You damn and curseanyone or anything that gets in your way.

Some people develop tremendous guilt forsuch goals. Perhaps as a child they wereinstructed (while hypnotically obeying theirparents or teacher) to struggle, strive, and workto get the best grades or win the spelling contest.

Fixated on the prize, under the direction ofthe motivator authority, they did exactly whatthey were told to do. In the process they becamea monster—ambitious, perhaps even enough tocheat or try to sabotage their competitor.

To the entire world, an athlete who cheats oruses performance enhancing drugs looks like thevillain. But the real villains are the hypnotistmanipulators—the motivators who have beenegging the athlete on to win at all costs withthreats, bribes, or promises. He or she has beenloved and lauded for goal setting.

It now becomes an internalized drive, not theathlete's own, but one given to him. Likewise,later in the athlete's career when there is a threatof loss when performance lags, the athlete, in atrance, will do anything to reach the goal.

The perceptive child, though hypnotized byauthorities and seeking to please them, maysoon feel alienated from fellow students becausehe or she doesn’t feel comfortable being

22

ambitious, cruel or a cut throat competitor. Somesuch perceptive and sensitive children will evenunconsciously become sick or somehow mess upso as not to have to engage in the ambitiousactivity that they are being pressured into.

The ambitious student, athlete, or performermay suddenly find himself or herself in theprocess of doing something cruel or wrong inorder to reach the goal. At this point, he or shetends to wake up, and go to one of two extremes.

One: the pain of seeing his or her owncompulsive strivings may drive the person intoan even deeper trance to escape from the pain ofawareness. Rededicating himself to the goal, hepursues it doggedly, often even with selfloathing or self pity. He excuses the ambitionand rationalizes it. He seeks approval from hismotivator and consoles himself in the companyof other ambitious strivers like himself.

Because the motivator does take an interest inthe ambitious one, he seems to be the onlysource of love. And so, the victim falls evenmore under the spell to avoid the guilt andanxiety that comes with awareness, and toreceive the approval and love of the motivator.

The other extreme of, of course, is to give upand drop out. Unable to stand what they arebecoming, they drop out or turn to alcohol,marijuana or drugs. They would rather fail thanbe ambitious. They often hate society,corporations, schools, parents or whoever hadpressured them to succeed.

23

Some people might awaken to see just howheartless and inhuman they have become in thepursuit of the goal. In guilt, they might set a goalof making it up to those they hurt. This new goalnow becomes the pressure to function. Andunder pressure of the new goal, and making ittoo important, they might actually forcethemselves on others, pressuring them to accepttheir apology or pressuring them to accept somepayment to make up.

In a similar way, they might set a goal ofhelping others like themselves. They become ateacher, coach, or other authority with a goal ofhelping anyone like themselves.

So instead of being a harsh teacher or coach,they become a "nice," easy going, peoplepleasing teacher or coach. Instead of being adisciplinarian, they become an enabler, aliberator, friend, or nice guy or nice gal.

Unfortunately, the goal of being nice, or toput it another way, the goal of not being liketheir parent, coach or teacher also makes themgoal oriented and fixated.

They might become an advocate for victims orthe homeless, but their help does not really helpbecause it is founded in resentment and hatred.

Such a person will actually becomethreatened and resentful if others don't accepttheir "niceness" or if others don't see them in agood light. Think of it! The goal seeking nice guywill hate you if you don't like him.

24

But others can see something fanatical abouttheir good deeds. Others can sense the pressurein the person who aims to please. And so, therejection the motivators bring on themselvesthrough trying too hard to please or be nicecauses anxiety and resentment.

In order to reach the goal of being the world'snicest teacher or whatever, he will do everythinghe can in order to seduce you and win you over.And if nothing works, he will hate and rejectyou.

The seductive motivator is now on the insidejust like the ones he hated. The only difference isthat he or she is now seducing others instead ofthreatening them.

However, once his or her power isconsolidated, you will then experience theliberator, motivator, or nice guy's betrayal andtyranny. Many liberators, such as Fidel Castro,ended up being worse dictators than those theyreplaced. Within the shell and facade of suchliberation and liberalism is tyranny andoppression.

The liberator is just as ambitious as the socialclimber or capitalist they hate, but now they areambitious to destroy society, punish those theyhate, and force their brand of "good" oneveryone. The French revolution, Pol Pot, andthe Red Guard in China are examples of this sortof thing.

The truth of the matter is that when theperson goes into a hypnotic state, they come

25

under the influence of another. Twenty yearslater, the hypnotized person continues to carryout the directives of the motivator. Andeventually through a slow process of attrition, itis not merely the programming but also theactual spirit of the motivator which acts throughthe victim.

Evil, you see, is a spirit which never dies. It isundead, like a virus. It infects each newgeneration with itself. And the ambitious onescome under its spell and it operates throughthem. Sadly, the victims of the ambitious oncealso become infected through their hatred. Thevictim of the bully turns around and bulliesthose weaker than herself until she takes on thefull mantle of the bully.

I recently heard a well known evangelistrecount that in his country of origin the suiciderate goes up dramatically on college campusesaround exam time. These students are driven bya goal of achievement that was given to them byothers, now implanted in them and enforced bypsychopathic teachers.

The sad thing is that they could be far moresuccessful and happy if they had been permittedto unfold naturally and flow intuitively. Theycould have been industrious instead ofambitious, and thus happy instead of conflictedover any success they might achieve. Manycollege students party and drink in order toescape the guilt for not living their own lives.

26

If, at this time, you are impatient with yourchildren and are seeking to pressure, bribe,threaten, or motivate them, it is undoubtedly thespirit which was operating through your parents(or driven teachers or coaches) which is nowliving through you, seeking to destroy yourchildren and to use them as a new vehicle for itsplans.

Can you now see the wisdom of the words:“Seek first the Kingdom of God and His rightway, and all other things will be added untoyou?”

Christ exhorts us to make our Creator and Hisright way most important--first, last, and always.If you seek to do what you know is right in yourheart—making it at all times and in all placesand in every moment more important thananything else, then you can know no frustration.

You won't have to decide anymore or facedilemmas. You will have made THE choice—tosubmit to your Creator's will instead of seekingyour own will.

You see, when you seek your own will,seducers and manipulators notice what yourdesire is, and they rise to the occasion of offeringto answer your needs.

When you seek your Creator's will, then youcome under His authority. And when you areunder His authority, you are no longer under theworldly motivator's authority.

It's a strange thing about time—time shouldbe a benevolent source of a substance we need to

27

accomplish anything. In the material creation,things come to fruition in time. The endintended then comes to pass through causeleading to effect. One precedes the other insequence. And the awareness of the sequence,one after another, gives the reference points bywhich we measure time.

If you intended something, and you knewthat it would come to pass for sure, and if youknew that it was God's will, then you wouldhave be no anxiety, worry, and be under nopressure, because you would be certain of ahappy fulfillment in God's good time.

Even more fun would be if you were certainthat the Creator's will would be done, and youknew that you were doing His will for eachmoment, but you did not know what theoutcome would be or when it would be, youcould simply live care-free from moment tomoment doing what is right and then waitingwith joy for the surprise happy outcome.

When the good came to pass, it would be ajoyous surprise (like a birthday present), yet allalong you knew that something good wouldhappen, you just didn't know what it would be.

It all depends on intent. You might counter, “Ihave had the right intent, but things didn't workout.” First of all, you must not make a goal of“doing good.” If you do, this goal, leads toputting your will into it, with the usualfrustration, time pressure, and resentment. Yourwill then becomes a pressure to others. The goal

28

(and accompanying preplanning and attempt tocause some effect or make some impression)ruins your timing and robs you of spontaneity.

Jesus often warned the people about doingthings to make an impression on others. He alsooften warned us not to be hypocrites. Do you seethe connection? Having a goal of being good ordoing good results in doing things for effect andits effect on others.

Your intent must be: to be ready to do whatyou know is right in your heart for eachmoment. In other words, as I go through life andapproach a situation, I do not know what thegood is. I watch and wait. I check with myintuition. Mostly nothing is required for me todo, other than calm observation. Sometimes aword, deed or gesture may be needed. I just actor speak spontaneously, flowing from intuition,and the action is right.

If you over analyze, ambitiously plan inadvance, or use some pre digested formula—youwill mess it up. The innocence, the sweetness,and the power will be absent. Instead an egowould be laboring for effect.

Life is subtle and involves timing. There arenot enough books in the world to detail theperfect action for any delicate moment with yourloved ones, for example. You need guidance--just in time guidance—the kind that comes fromwithin, in the moment, when you get your egoout of the way, not knowing what to, butwishing with all your heart to do the right thing.

29

With this attitude, you will suddenly know whatto do.

If doing what is right, but not really knowingin advance what the “right” is in any particularsituation, is your sincere intent, then you maysimply go about your life, living humbly,quietly, not given to prediction, not seekingselfish advantage, and not seeking to make anyimpression on others. In most moments of yourlife, nothing is required of you. In this respect,doing right often means not doing wrong. Goingthe right way means not going the wrong way.Doing the Creator's will means not doing other'swill.

Remember, whenever you move underpressure, you are obeying another's will. That'swhy if you respond to the pressure of another'spraise or the pressure of their criticism, then youare moving hypnotically.

When something becomes too important—more important than seeking to quietly realizewhat is right for that moment—then you have agoal directed consciousness, which will lead toyour striving to attain.

Remember Christ's words concerning doinggood: He said "let not your right hand knowwhat your left hand is doing."

Can you see what innocence is? It is movingspontaneously without thought of the outcome.Children are naturally innocent. That's why theirhonest speech and lack of self consciousness areso sweet.

30

There are also adults who are naturallyinnocent—often true scientists and inventorswho love discovering truth move innocently,such as people like Thomas Edison (who oftenforgot his umbrella) or Einstein blithely ridinghis bicycle.

What makes us self conscious is the egoappeal of the gaze directed at us by others whoquestion our motives and seek to confuse us.

They also judge you, and having reactedresentfully to judgment, you now act to be seenfavorable by them.

Wrong, impatient, or ambitious people hateinnocence, and so they try to draw attention toyourself with praise, criticism, or blame.

They know that once they can make you selfconscious—embarrassed, ashamed, angry, andresentful—you will then seek to move toalleviate the feeling.

They also know that if they can make youdoubt yourself, you will become confused andunsure, and they can continue to dominate you.

Natural innocence is nice, but you need to gobeyond it to find spiritual innocence. The angelsare spiritually innocent. And because they are,they immediately acknowledge truth. Andbecause they have no will of their own, otherthan to do God's will, they only bear goodwilltoward their neighbor. They do good unawares,being not self conscious of themselves as anoperator. In fact, they even know that when theydo good, it is not of themselves.

31

Can you see how this fundamental realizationsaves them from pride (which also makes us selfconscious in a most unfortunate way, alienatingus from the good)?

In order to find innocence, you must give upyour goals and striving. Relax and wait patientlyfor the wind of the spirit to move you.

In innocence, your consciousness willeventually become aware of your owncorruption. Careful—don’t resent seeing it. Youwill become aware of how your body has beentrained and conditioned to respond to outsideappeals with obedience. The lusts, angers,anxieties, nervousness, hungers, needs anddesires are all acquired: based on thesuggestions and manipulations of others, andyour reacting to them.

You will also eventually become aware of thespiritual corruption within. You will becomeaware that a will has been operating throughyou which is not your will. You will becomeaware that its motives and its thoughts areimpure. You will become aware that evil existswithin, and that it came from those who temptedand motivated you.

You will become aware that it has had its waywith you and through you when you madesomething too important or when you wereresentful. You always thought that its thoughtsand its will were your own, and you were guiltyand ashamed of them. Now you will see that thecorrupt identity misled you and wanted you to

32

think the sordid thoughts were your own, sothat you would be too ashamed to come to thelight and repent. That way it could continue tooperate through you, using you as a vessel for itswill.

Do not be alarmed by this discovery. There isa tendency to think that you are discoveringsomething new. Realize that evil was alwaysthere—posing as you and masquerading as yourconscience. You thought that its thoughts wereyour thoughts. And you thought that its lustswere your lusts. You were unaware of itspresence. Now you are simply becoming awareof its presence—because your soul is less taintedwith sin and has become objective.

Do not be alarmed. You are aware of thepresence of evil because the Light is making youaware.

Do nothing other than watch. Do not attemptto struggle with it yourself. In time, God willmove and make the evil leave you. In themeanwhile, He will hold your soul apart from itso that you can observe it without being stained.

Understand this: the same spirit which youcan now sense is impure and has impuremotives but which has compelled you to do allthe wrong things and even to be cruel to yourloved ones is the same spirit which wasoperating in those who hurt or confused you. Itis the spirit that was operating through yourmother who berated you or turned you againstyour father. It was in the father who was not

33

there for you, the person who hurt you, or thelong list of motivators who pressured you.

Perhaps you hated your mother, for example.Perhaps she was cruel, confusing or dominating.But now that you see that what compelled you(or what might be yet compelling you to hate ordo things backwards) was operating throughher, compelling her too. Now, seeing that shecould not stop herself because of the thing inher, you will be able to forgive her. Maybe youwere not dealing with your real mother.Something had destroyed her, took her over, andcompelled her to do the things she did.

Therefore, forgive your poor old mom anddad. Remember Christ's words when he wasbeing crucified: "Forgive them Father, for theyknow not what they do."
