MAILMIND.ASC
|
|
|
|
Recently, advertisements appeared in the Dallas Morning News for a "free" 3
|
|
1/2 hour workshop & career orientation to learn about POSTAL JOBS in the
|
|
Dallas area. The "free" seminar actually cost $20, to cover the "materials
|
|
and registration fee".
|
|
|
|
The following statements are my opinions regarding my experience at that
|
|
seminar. Because I had just finished reading the excellent MIND2.ASC file,
|
|
I was able to recognize the direction that the seminar was taking, as the
|
|
"charismatic" leader turned a group of 100 adults into "true believers".
|
|
|
|
I STRONGLY encourage the reading of the MIND2.ASC file, by anyone who is
|
|
considering attending ANY group event, whether a seminar, training session,
|
|
concert, or religious event.
|
|
|
|
From the aforementioned file, I recognized the three stages of Pavlov's
|
|
transmarginal inhibition: the equivalent phase, the paradoxical phase, and
|
|
the ultra-paradoxical phase.
|
|
|
|
Within a short time, most of the people in the audience were responding
|
|
like trained seals, clapping and agreeing with ANYTHING the "leader" said.
|
|
Testimonials were used to nail down the "leader's" statements.
|
|
|
|
Let me tell you, it was getting scary. Tension was created, with timed
|
|
tests in half of the time normally provided, as well as with abbreviated
|
|
breaks, actually only one break of only 12 minutes, with only two rest-
|
|
rooms available.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this procedure was to induce a state of catharsis in the
|
|
minds of the attendees, and then to hit them with a "follow up" seminar,
|
|
for ONLY $395.00. The follow up would GUARANTEE you that you would score
|
|
at least 95% on the Postal Service exam.
|
|
|
|
Your SALVATION from the otherwise IMPOSSIBLE ODDS of passing the test.
|
|
But, you had to respond quickly, because there were only 16 seats left for
|
|
the seminar, and the exam is opening up soon!
|
|
|
|
This was the "logical" thing to do, since you'd already (whether you knew
|
|
it or not) "agreed" by your catharsis and "yes set" responses.
|
|
|
|
I'm not saying that these methods are illegal or morally wrong...everyone
|
|
uses them, from advertisers to politicians, to religious figures.
|
|
|
|
However, you SHOULD have an awareness of these powerful manipulative
|
|
techniques, because you have no natural immunity to them. Even skepticism
|
|
is no guarantee that you won't be affected, and reading the MIND2.ASC will
|
|
help you to fight against it, or at least to recognize it so you can AVOID
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
Personally, I went to encourage my 18 year old son, who is about to
|
|
graduate from high school, to look into the Postal Service as a career.
|
|
|
|
He learned A LOT at that seminar, but more about manipulative methods than
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
about opportunities with the Postal Service. That alone was worth the
|
|
twenty bucks, so I have no complaints.
|
|
|
|
However, many of the other attendees described themselves as poor and
|
|
desperate, increasing their receptiveness to the message of this self
|
|
appointed "saviour".
|
|
|
|
I left before the "call to the faithful", so I don't know how many
|
|
"converts" were made from this group. Quite a few, I'd guess. I noticed
|
|
that the doors were locked as I was leaving, presumably to prevent
|
|
interruption from OUTSIDE the room, but lkely as a method to encourage
|
|
people INSIDE from leaving before the seminar was over.
|
|
|
|
Please download MIND2.ASC, print it, and share copies with your friends.
|
|
Read it before you attend ANY group session. The SAME methods that are
|
|
used to create "moonies" are being used on you, and you should learn to
|
|
recognize the signs, if only in self defense.
|
|
|
|
Ever notice that Bill Clinton always uses his LEFT hand when gesturing?
|
|
It's to appeal to your right brain, and it's a proven technique! Read the
|
|
file!
