Namaste Sahara71, allow me to surface your previous posting. While doing research on Hilly, I found something about Dr. Milton Erickson, a prominent American psychiatrist and psychologist, widely acknowledged as being the father of modern hypnosis. The article (links included below) talks about indirect hypnosis.

According to the research institute, "A frequent jokester, Erickson was able to use humor in his conversations with patients as well. In fact his books are scattered with puns and subtle jokes. But this was not just to lighten the situation of patient affected by serious addiction and mental condition– it was deeply strategic.
By catching them off guard he was able to open the unconscious mind for change. This ties into his confusion technique."
According to professional Clinical Hypnotherapist, Brett Cameron, "When I work with a client I don’t like to ‘tell’ them what to do, ... I like to tell stories, entwining metaphor after metaphor, knowing that the client’s ever-present unconscious mind will latch onto the principle of the story … embracing change as if they were a part of the story."

When she did not follow his suggested flow',at time 18:40, he pressured her by saying, "you want to do today, I tell you the answer today. Can you grasp it now, I will tell you now, and see if you can grasp it now...". He appeared impatient.
He doesn't seem to be teaching at all.
It seems that his answering method can be summed up with the following:
1. Take a personal question, widen the the scope of the question.
2. Use profound language to be describe the process of gaining liberation
3. tell stories, jokes, and used metaphors to make suggestions.
4. Confuse if cannot convince
5. If appropriate, subtly apply psychological pressure to shut the subject up.
6. Assess if awe and wow effect is induced. If not, repeat steps 2 to 5 interchangeably, individually or in a combination.
