What the hypnotist told you...

  Imagine together we go to a hypnotist's stage show.  As we sit in the audience, he calls you up to the stage to participate in a demonstration.  He points you to a chair to sit in, and after you sit down, he proceeds to hypnotize you. While you are hypnotized, he sets an instruction in your subconscious that anytime you hear him say the word 'duck' you will stand up, start to flap your arms as if they were wings, and loudly quack like a duck.  After this, he instructs that you will have no recall of the time while you were hypnotized.  As you awake from the hypnotized state, you have no recall of what just happened and he instructs you to take your seat in the audience.
     After a few minutes, the hypnotist starts to talk about duck hunting, and as he does, you can't help it, you stand up, start to flap your arms like wings, and loudly quack like a duck, the whole time thinking to yourself "what am I doing? I am going crazy!" One of the interesting things about human behavior is that as we become more and more stressed, we fall further and further back into our subconscious programming, so as you stress about flapping and quacking, you fall back to your subconsciousness more and more, making you flap faster and quack louder. Needless to say, you are embarrassed and become very self-conscious at that point.  After leaving you on the hook for a couple of minutes, the hypnotist quits saying the word duck, and you are able to sit down and allow the stress to subside, though the confusion never really leaves.
     We all have been hypnotized. We had parents, grandparents, siblings, other family, other authority figures all show and explain the world to us.  Just as your capacity for reason is suspended during hypnotism and it cannot filter out/re-contextualize anything before it reaches your subconscious, a child's capacity for reason is non-existent at first, so a lot of the first beliefs you heard your parents talk about, became a reality for you.  Without exploring and questioning these "realities" we have carried since being infants, we cannot discover which ones are healthy for our development nor can we discover the ones that interfere with our goals and inspirations for ourselves.
     Now let's imagine the above story a little different.  Let's imagine that when you came off the stage and sat back down next to me, I leaned over to you and told you that he had hypnotized you, I then proceeded to tell you the instructions he placed in your subconscious.  Then when he starts talking about duck hunting a few minutes later, you now have a choice.  Your reaction/inclination will be to stand up, flap, and quack, but because you now know about the instruction that was placed in your subconscious, you are able to make a choice to do something different, mainly because your awareness of the instruction allows you to look at your behavior without stressing, without intensifying the instruction. Awareness eventually leads to change, but first it provides the confidence one needs to move forward and try something new.
