The recent story about Madonna making a movie about the "prison experiment" is extremely fascinating. Who knows, perhaps Madonna's Guru has encouraged her to make this film, as i would guess that this Guru knows all about that type of research and social dynamics. It sort of reminds me of the incredible hubris of certain cultic type leaders, who will tell their followers what th

If she was in pain, and now is feeling no pain, this is probably due to Self-suggestion. Hypnosis, and relaxation, self-suggestion, etc, are one of the best ways of dealing with chronic pain. Also, she could have had psychosomatic pain. She COULD also be experiencing "mania", or something of that nature. From my point of view, these "gurus" do not have any healing power, i

Actually, upon reflection, that statement is designed to put people into a Trance state! Its a confusing idea, to imply that we are all hypnotized by society, and need to be "awakened" by Tony Robbins. Robbins actually has a long list of "Confusion Inducing Questions".

You can always tell a Landmark plant, because they rave about Landmark alleged "benefits", yet they adhere to Landmarks strict policy of NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT LANDMARK IS ABOUT, as they are FORBIDDEN to discuss specifics by their Landmark Masters.

Here is an article "THE TROUBLE WITH HYPNOSIS" from Psychology Today about hypnosis, and Eriksonian Hypnosis. It raises all the important issues. Robbins openly claims he does NOT do "hypnosis". He says, if anything, he "de-hypnotizes" people. This is a blatant lie, using semantic word games. He can say that, due to the trouble with what "hypnosis"

Glen, you mentioned you went to UPW. I would love to hear your review of the program. It doesn't have to be a negative review, it could be a positive one.

The way Ericksonian Hypnosis is used by these people is totally unethical, and would have Milton Erikson turning in his grave. It was created for Hypnotherapy, and is now being used to sell people crap, and manipulate them.

Its all cross-marketing. Robbins loves those types of magazines, as its a readdy audience of suckers.

I've done most of his courses, going back over 16 years, and fortunately got to attend most of them for free using comps. The only "prerequisite" for Robbins is money.

I believe Robbins has raging NPD. This means he has a tremendous lack of Empathy, even though he uses the skills of the professional actor, and can cry, and appear all lovey-dovey.
