Can Post-Hypnotic Suggestions Be Avoided ?
« on: February 05, 2012, 06:12:01 PM »
Aristotle discovered/recognized a 'post-hypnotic suggestion' embedded in language; he called it "The Law of Identity". It's more commonly called "Unwittingly Believing", because it functions  subliminally  as 'post hypnotic suggestion'. The specific,'covert directive' in effect, is: "Believe some of your thought images are real"(even false ones).
Epictetus implied agreement by saying; "It's not the facts that disturb us but our thoughts about them". (Post-Hypnotic suggestions as "unrecognized beliefs".)
Can we know we are subliminally believing? Yes, by the experienced effects. The 'best indicators' are, emotional suffering, dysfunctional behavior, mistakes, stress, etc.
Would you or do you, do any of these on purpose, by choice? Aren't each of these "symptoms" involuntary? per unrecognized beliefs?
Recognizing and understanding enable us to overcome/override such subservience.

Point?  Continue being ruled by a habit not chosen or be 'sovereign' over it.

Wisdom emerges via thinking; i.e. as insight.   ( Notice, the word 'emerges';- the word 'accessed' was not used.)
