……..advertisers. This is a really clever TV advert from the UK which shows someone recalling advert “hooks” or “slogans” even though the adverts haven't been on the tele for many years. If you accept that hypnosis or hypnotherapy is simply bypassing common sense to ask the subconscious mind to act on an acceptable suggestion, then TV advertisers are the biggest and most powerful group of hypnotists on the planet, followed very closely by the news programmes and political commentators, all of which influence us all in different ways.
And some people are happy to sit in front of the TV for hours every day but are scared to sit with me for an hour, mwahahaha!
Be happy,
Dave.

Jack, your stepson learnt a great lesson which can only be of benefit to him as he grows older and wiser! Kind regards, Dave.
Dave, when my stepson was about six he was riding in the car with his mom and saw a big' sign over a toy store advertising some Lion King toys. (He hadn't seen the movie…it wasn't even out yet.)
His first response was to jump up on the car seat and exclaim, “Mom, I want those toys!”
His mom, who had previously discussed with him how advertising makes you want things, asked him gently, “Do you really want them; do you even know what they are?”'
He reflected for a moment and sat back in the car seat and said, “They got me, Mom. I don't know what they are and they made me want them.”
This was a very “proud mom” moment for my wife.
