Turn Your Pain Into Bliss

Turn Your Pain Into Bliss

This is a pattern that creates extraordinarily strong, positive motivation to help a person through a painful period in their life. It's a pattern that (I'm pretty sure) was installed in me by an excellent NLP some years ago. It took me a few years to become conscious of it, and it's probably one of...

Psychological Addiction

Psychological Addiction

Psychological addiction is a topic that, in my experience, is largely misunderstood by the general public, and certainly was by me. I also think that it's one of the most important aspects of our culture, for the simple fact that almost all of us probably demonstrate behavior that could be likened t...

Enslaving the Broken Self

Enslaving the Broken Self

He was a boy; she was a girl -- Can I make it any more obvious? He was insecure. Lots of the other kids, and especially the "beautiful" girls turned their noses up at him. Inside, he was lonely, and fearful that he wasn't good enough. She was beautiful,  and apparently wanted lots and lots of mone...

Liberating Your Creativity

Liberating Your Creativity

  This video really doesn't need much deconstruction, so I'll not do that. It's a fantastic video offering a great way of looking at creativity.   It's worth mentioning here that this is what philosopher Ken Wilber describes as a trans-rational process. In this video, Elizabeth Gilbert is promot...

Install a Fuck-it Bucket
Written by Hypnoslave   

I gotta admit -- a moment ago, I was a little upset. Usually I'm quite good at dealing with stress, but something trivial happened in an area of my life where I'm a bit.. er... immature... And something got under my skin.

In this case, I did what any reasonable man does -- bitch to an intelligent female. This one in particular offered me a more general solution to stresses -- by her desk (and in her mind) she has a bucket labeled "fuck it", and if something bothers her that she shouldn't have to deal with, she just tosses it in the bucket.

NLP Swish Pattern
Written by Hypnoslave   

The NLP swish pattern is a great way of installing new behaviors. This is an important metacognitive pattern, and can help you install patterns from this site more quickly.

This is a youtube video that I created fairly recently as a bit of a goof. It outlines a popular NLP pattern, but is an erroneous example of how it's used. Of course, I have no interest in stopping anyone from masterbating, or looking at porn for that matter (believe me.) Honestly, I don't think it's remotely possible to use this pattern to stop your sexual desire (or any other desire), but if it did, I'm sure that it would be very, very unhealthy. Don't try. If you actually do want to remove your sexual desire... Leave your church.
