"In the new book "Secret, Don't Tell: The Encyclopaedia of Hypnotism" Carla Emery, the author maintains that 10% of the population, the ONLY method needed for total mind control is hypnotism. No physical abuse is necessary.Like most people, I thought that hypnotism was not all that important, because people cannot be made to do things that they would not do if they were conscious. This is far from the truth. Carla Emery gives many examples, including some from court proceedings, which show that hypnotism CAN make people do incredibly immoral and unethical things, including prostituting themselves, robbing banks, giving away all their money to the hypnotist, and even murder!!! This is done by secretly putting a person into a trance, and then making them forget that they were ever hypnotized. After that, it is easier for the hypnotist to put them into a trance a second time, and each time they are put under they become more and more susceptible to the commands from the hypnotist. Perhaps the most amazing fact I learned from this book is that the more intelligent you are, the HIGHER is the likelihood that you can be hypnotized!!!!"
