Yes. Though less hypnotic and more social manipulation, I think. There is a carefully designed pattern around how things are done that doesn't need hypnotic assistance. There is peer acknowledgement and pressure, you can't talk about case (and discover that there is no such thing as "standard" in a result). Etc.

Yes they are...

Now i will throw this into the mix one of the most pernicious aspects of this is this idea that a reactive mind exists and that it is something to be rid of. Only in the last week have i arrived at the conclusion there is not a reactive mind as Hubbard describes it. Try chasing something that does not exist! How's that for manipulation!!!
