Who wants to be manipulated

Who wants to be manipulated?

Everyone! It’s stated as in the definition that Manipulation is an act of underhanded motivation but is it really so underhanded? We all have dreams, and fears, it’s in those that manipulation is accomplished.

Now if someone states that they can help you overcome a fear or reach a dream, that’s where you fall into the mind set of I will do anything to so. Here is the catch 22 of dreams, we want them without effort! Give me a pill so I can lose weight and never work out, or give me a loan I never have to pay back even sell me a house I know I cannot afford. We put aside our logic to gain our dreams, only to find out later what we have done, to ourselves! Then we blame whoever and state we were manipulated into the action.

Being lied to, takes a wiliness to be lied to, a good salesman taps into your dreams or fears; you see you cannot be manipulated unless you want to be. In the field of Hypnosis its stated over and over that you cannot make anyone do anything they don’t want to do, but who really knows what they would do or not?

The art of advertising is in fact the art of manipulation; funny thing is we all know that but yet the industry of advertising is a growing business. Have you really looked at the bottom of the screen at the messages? If it said “WE MADE ALL THIS UP” would you buy whatever? Instead they post in itty bitty tinny tiny print that some Government agency has not studied nor approved what they are stating, oh now they have tapped into the Fear factor, in effect there message tells you that the Government is trying to keep something from you! And you Know You Can’t Trust Them!

We don’t need a watch dog like the government we need to realize the old saying “YOU DON’T GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING” is true! Anything and everything takes effort! We know full well what’s good for us or not! A hamburger that has over 3000 calories is not good for you, and you know that but if you don’t think Hey this is gonna kill me, and they tell you OH ITS SO GOOD and you eat it were you Manipulated into it? Or do you really need that Super Gulp where a small drink would do just fine? But they make it sound so good! Or when they make what appears to be something at a lower cost so you will buy a bigger size are they manipulating you? This is called up selling and it’s done all the time, “would you like to super-size that?”

Buyer Beware really means HEY YOU WAKE UP AND USE YOUR HEAD!! Now are there deals or ways to improve your life, the answer is yes, but does your mind really tell you that you can get a $1000 computer for $20? Or that a rock from someone’s garden will suddenly enhance your life?

Often this is how ideas are sold; the scientific elements are presented first, in a most logical manner. Then, when the stage is set, the non-scientific parts of the act are innocently introduced in a casual, yet authoritative manner, and without comment. The realist, faced with this bit of manipulation, finds it infuriating.
The Seeker unaware of the manipulation falls for it hook, line and sinker, the methods done so very well to inset the thought pattern that no amount of logic will change or influence the believer. The really sad part is those who are Leading are those who were Lead, so even they do not understand what they are doing, and are truly convinced as to the validity of what they are teaching.

Let’s look at what has turned into the big business of the law of attraction. Among the elements told to a group is a mixture of tangible and intangible ideas. It is logical and provable that there is in fact Energy from the human bio-electrical machine is real and measurable this is the scientific element. Now comes the non-scientific part or the intangible: the Intuition that lies within to recognize when the events happen. Is Intuition real? Yes in a way it is, but it is such an unknown that someone can present it to reflect anything they wish.

Now a word about “tier group selling”, I will not name the groups but there are a lot of them out there, and they all “sell” to the dream. They will present facts as to dollar amounts that can be made which are true, they will present products which are really good, and that is true. Then ever so easily they slip in the fact that you make money by have a “down line” or having others sell the products for you and see you can make money without effort! The Leader of the group never tells you that YOU have now become their “down line” and they are making money off of you!

You see the real money they talk about making is not off the products but off of the “down line” and that now once you sign up with of course a small buy in, now for you to make money you have to develop your “down line” which means you have to “give the opportunity “ to your friends! Have you just been manipulated? You bet you have, and it was all up to you as to it happening.
