A man who fancied himself as a Lothario once dreamed that he could master the art of covert hypnosis. He imagined that he could seduce a string a beautiful women by engaging them in conversation, gaining their confidence and then commanding them to do his will. He might have succeeded in some cases. If so, his victims might never have known how or why the fell under what they thought was his charm. There are also instances of coquettes who have made men behave inexplicably, unless hypnosis can explain them.
The most extraordinary events occurred in Germany midway through the twentieth century when a demagogue persuaded a whole nation to follow him to ruin. Although many people were dragged along unwillingly many others appear to have been hypnotized by having things shouted at them that they wanted to hear. They might also have been seduced by the emotion of hatred into doing things of which they might never have imagined themselves capable.
Of course there are many similar instances recorded in history of human beings doing things en mass which seen suspiciously like hypnosis. However, there are distinctions between mob behavior and hypnotic behavior. Experts would be quick to point these out. They would probably explain too how learning and training are necessary before results can be expected.
Books and training materials are available online enabling one who is determined to learn the arts of covert hypnosis. Because success means power over individuals those who acquire the art also acquire the power to do good or evil. Hypnosis used in medical practice and police work is willingly shared but that used for nefarious purposes might be less well publicized.
A volunteer who comes on stage during a public performance and a person who slides under the influence of another in the course of conversation are alike willing participants in an act of mental intercourse. Both the subject and the hypnotist must have a rapport as an essential first step in the process.
In the case of covert hypnosis the rapport between the subject and the hypnotist must be attained without the subject being aware of it. This makes the whole process more subtle and also more difficult. A person who willingly submits for entertainment or medical reasons retains some ultimate control over a situation but the person who is hypnotized without consent or knowledge is extremely vulnerable.
In literature there is a process known as the suspension of disbelief. This is when a reader knowingly 'suspends' his awareness that he is reading fiction and imagines that he is experiencing real life. A writer must be skilled to achieve this state just as a hypnotist must be skilled to induce a state of willing participation in a subject. The reader and the subject must both set aside their critical awareness during the process.
If a strong rapport exists between two people one may spout banalities, platitudes and truisms and a perfectly intelligent person may remain uncritical. For example, a perfectly intelligent person may fall victim to flattery if it is cunningly applied. A woman who is proud of her family may become oblivious to subterfuge on hearing the phrase 'lovely children'. The final phase in covert hypnosis is to issue the commands that the subject is required to perform. Aspirant hypnotists need to reflect and study this phase carefully. If they go too fast their cover could be blown. If they are too tentative they might fail to achieve their aim.
