Introduction
I'm Dick Sutphen and this tape is a studio-recorded, expanded version
of a talk I delivered at the World Congress of Professional Hypnotists
Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although the tape carries a
copyright to protect it from unlawful duplication for sale by other
companies, in this case, I invite individuals to make copies and give
them to friends or anyone in a position to communicate this
information.
Although I've been interviewed about the subject on many local and
regional radio and TV talk shows, large-scale mass communication
appears to be blocked, since it could result in suspicion or
investigation of the very media presenting it or the sponsors that
support the media. Some government agencies do not want this
information generally known. Nor do the Born-Again Christian
movement, cults, and many human-potential trainings.
Everything I will relate only exposes the surface of the problem. I
don't know how the misuse of these techniques can be stopped. I don't
think it is possible to legislate against that which often cannot be
detected; and if those who legislate are using these techniques, there is
little hope of affecting laws to govern usage. I do know that the first
step to initiate change is to generate interest. In this case, that will
probably only result from an underground effort.
In talking about this subject, I am talking about my own business. I
know it, and I know how effective it can be. I produce hypnosis and
subliminal tapes and, in some of my seminars, I use conversion tactics
to assist participants to become independent and self-sufficient. But,
anytime I use these techniques, I point out that I am using them, and
those attending have a choice to participate or not. They also know
what the desired result of participation will be.
So, to begin, I want to state the most basic of all facts about
brainwashing: In the entire history of man, no one has ever been
brainwashed and realized, or believed, that he had been brainwashed.
Those who have been brainwashed will usually passionately defend
their manipulators, claiming they have simply been “shown the
light” ... or have been transformed in miraculous ways.
