I'm putting this in general discussion as it affects a lot of threads and topics and everyone of us every second of of every day.
This is about the critical factor from hypnosis. To understand Scientology , or human interaction you should know some things about it and actually for Scientology you should know A LOT.
Hypnosis is a state of mind. The state of mind can be obtained instantaneously, for a state of mind is merely a mood. It is a state of mind in which the critical faculty of the human is bypassed and selective thinking established. The critical faculty of your mind is that part which passes judgment. It distinguishes between the concepts of hot and cold, sweet and sour, large and small, dark and light.
It we can bypass this critical faculty in such a way that you no longer distinguish between hot and cold, sweet and sour, we can substitute selective thinking for conventional judgment making.
Another way to describe the critical factor is the possession of awareness or mental life or having sensations or feelings. Ethics, morality, rights and wrong police the waking mind. It self-imposes rules, restriction and regulates actions and behavior.
Your Critical Factor, Manipulation and Hypnosis Your critical factor is the part of your conscious mind that allows or blocks information getting into your subconscious mind. It is the gatekeeper that allows information in that is reasonable and then becomes a part of how and what you believe, or if the information is not reasonable or logical it is rejected, perhaps to be visited again another day but more often not.
In hypnosis, the critical factor is largely bypassed and information is directly placed into your unconscious mind.
The critical factor can be redefined many ways as it sums up many , probably THOUSANDS , of mental functions that combine to form judgement , skepticism , logic ,independent thinking , discretion and many other things.
Most people have very little understanding of the critical factor and even less of hypnotism.
Scientology has a wealth of false info on hypnosis and in particular makes followers ignorant AND determined to not learn anything outside Scientology about hypnosis:This is intentional on LRH's part.
When he started Scientology he told auditors some info and recommended learning about hypnosis , BUT he changed his tune when he realized that most people would not lie and enslave others , even for the greater good.
Early tapes have key data that show he always knew his auditing , and later the methods in study tech are in fact hypnotic.
AND he always knew it .
A person can have the critical factor turned down , or off by many methods and stage hypnotism or magic shows show only a tiny fraction of it.
As I've said many times Arnie Lerma ( Lermanet.com ) and Jon Atack showed me many clues to start seeing how this works in Scientology and I recommend studying the work of both to EVERY Scientologist and ex-Scientologist.
A person with the critical factor turned off completely will accept ANYTHING that is not blatantly suicidal ( with very few exceptions ) from the " right " source or sources.
That is why LRH had to have the single source myth : when in doubt or confusion a person had to turn only to HIM , and have that as an unshakeable stable datum.
There is a phenomenon wherein if you bypass the critical factor very strongly for prolonged periods( like in Scientology auditing and study ) and install very strong emotional connections and tremendous supporting and self defending info into a person's subconscious they will act just as if it is their OWN deeply held convictions ; because in a way it IS , just WITHOUT long contemplation and gradually building resolve and choosing for oneself independently .
Then , afterward the critical factor is turned back on BUT often only to attack critics and contradictory info or evidence , driven by implanted compulsion and not reason !
I know some will say Scientology is not hypnotism . Okay , do me one favor read about hypnotism so you have an educated point of view BEFORE dismissing my claims.
If Scientology is not hypnotism , and you are not compelled to reject this , why couldn't you read about it ?
I'd rather bruise some hearts ( and egos )with the truth ,and be a real friend than break them with lies.
I think we've all had more than enough of those.
I am not going to be 100% right all the time , BUT I've put a significant effort into this and don't think I'm wrong this time .
