Drunk Drunker Drunkerer eXperiential Hypnosis

For some strange reason, four different folks forwarded Tom Vizzini's recent post at http://www.essential-skills.com/2009/12/04/hypnotically-drunk/ to me from another group . . . well, not so strange as they had very good reason. :-)

Some of you are less familiar with my work, so perhaps these posts from my blog with video will give you an idea why the forwards came.

Evidently, the whold hypnotic drunk thing is something I do a LOT.  Actually, I absolutely love working with folks for all sorts of engineered eXperiential ecstasy, of which one of the many processes I use is the drinking finger or hypnotic drunk.

For those interested in such things . . . I would imagine that this bit just might once again find its way into my show repertoire for my upcoming FUNNY HYPNOSIS SHOW set for the Live Comedy Club in Taipei on Jan. 3 . . . see http://www.comedy.com.tw/node/373 for the details. Be sure to reserve your seat early.

Coincidentally, one of the two sessions I will be presenting for the next Hypnosummit in March is titled "HYPNODRUNK" in which I will be discussing variations to approaching the idea of getting high or drunk via suggestion ranging from waking suggestion, hypnotic induction or suggestion, anchoring, drug of choice pattern, drinking finger process, and more.

Also, coincidentally, but more because of the upcoming Hypnosummit, I am in the middle of writing a new extensive post on the subject for my blog as well as essays for other resources.

BTW, if you are subscribed to the free eXperiential Hypnosis Newsletter at http://www.briandavidphillips.com/newsletter/index.html one of the FREE bonus videos you will receive access to is an instructional video on FINGER HYPNOSIS which demonstrates and teaches you how to perform BOTH the DRINKING FINGER pattern (as a waking hypnosis induction pattern with eyes open and no other induction used) and the HAPPY FINGER pattern, yet another of my favorite playful bits. Of course, the newsletter also regularly presents tons of other very very kool stuff, delivered free and regularly to your inbox.

Folks who sign up before the early bonus deadline for the upcoming LOVE TRANCEFORMATION weekend seminar experience at http://www.lovetranceformation.org will receive a FREE physical DVD copy of the FINGER HYPNOSIS video along with other goodies!

All the best,
Brian

Entheogen: Awakening the Divine Within

This video is an intriguing documentary on the use of entheogens to connect to the divine within. Those familiar with my engineering eXperiential ecstasy work know that I feel very resonant with this sort of work . . . albeit, via trancework rather than through the use of chemical aids.

In January, we will be offering our LOVE TRANCEFORMATION seminar in Taipei which takes that model even further . . .  very much further, actually.

All the best,
Brian

Shii-Cho Applied Mechanics & Theory

I know, it's toy light sabers . . . but . . . they make Shii-Cho look real.

Don't get me wrong, I won't be learning real light saber fencing any time soon . . . but then I'm tremendously lazy when it comes to any sort of physical exertion.

Surf youtube with a the search term Shii-Cho and you will find some pretty kool battles and demonstrations.

Portable Hole

Long ago, I had a friend who died in a way very very similar to this . . .

Okay, maybe not exactly that way but some similarities are there . . . my friend crawled through his portable hole into the treasure vaults of a local demon overload and another friend stole the hole and left him to die . . . ah, the days of rolling dice and companionship and a good weekend spent wiling away the coke and pizza with one's buddies at table with Dungeons and Dragons manuals strewn all around the place.

All the best,
Brian

The Matrix Revisioned into the Past

The Matrix is without a doubt a groundbreaking film . . . but . . . what if it was envisioned long ago . . . what if . . .

THE MATRIX STARRING CHARLIE CHAPLIN

Here is the video in the original Russian . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAu74d4fGt0 . . . neat stuff.

THE MATRIX MUSICAL OF 1933

The Matrix re-worked as a 1930's musical and it fits.

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends and family and strangers who celebrate the holiday and to those who do not.

I am still very much under the weather and since Kaye is not home from school dorm life until Friday night, our Thanksgiving dinner will be then.

Zombieland in 3D

It looks like there may indeed be a sequel to Zombieland and it looks like it's going to be in 3D . . . http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Zombieland-Sequel-Likely-And-May-Be-In-3D-15834.html . . . megakoolness and a half.  I haven't seen the first film yet . . . it didn't come to theatres here in Taiwan which bummers beyond zombiebelief as I was so zombiexcited about this one.  There have been a few films out of late in the US that look pretty awesome but did not make it to these shores much to my chagrin (I read Jim Channon's First Earth Battalion Field Guide long ago and was very much looking forward to watching George Clooney's forray into the world of goat staring but the beastie didn't come here either). I guess we'll be waiting for the DVD.

All the best,
Brian

Naked Lizard Queen Guided Visualization

So, even naked lizard alien invaders need a good guided visualization . . . Morena Baccarin in character during an episode of V provides an inspirational hypnotic guided meditation on living fluidly that puts most video motivational pieces to shame . . . see the video at http://io9.com/5412498/do-some-naked-yoga-and-let-the-lizard-queen-soothe-your-worries and rejoice that the evil lizard alien overlords are so enlightened.

Seriously, nice visualization script and excellent graphic presentation.

I've not actually seen the show yet as it's not available on my part of the planet but this clip is worth sharing . . . not just for the scifiness of it all but because the visualization is worth snarfing.

All the best,
Brian

Avatar on 60 Min.

James Cameron sat down and talked about AVATAR with an indepth profile on the film and its 3D technology for Sixty Minutes.

We are very much looking forward to this film. Obviously, planning on seeing it in 3D and most likely on opening night.

Out of Commission for a Bit or H1N1 Blues

My daughter Kaye came down with H1N1 and so she's been home for a week in self-exile in the home and away from school.  Unfortunately, as she got better, I came down with a fever and went into the hospital and lo and behold I've got the blasted thing.  Lorraine went in and tested positive the next day.  I am very sure that I gave it to Lorraine.  While I could have gotten it from Kaye who got it at school, it is more likely I caught it from one of my students as Kaye was very good about staying in self-exile in the home when she was diagnosed.  Of course, where one gets it is far less important than getting rid of it or not catching it in the first place.

Kaye is back to school today as her quarantine period is over.

Lorraine and I both have been taking our drugs.  Lorraine seems to be on a faster recovery track than me but that makes sense as she's always had this uberpowerful immune system that normally just laughs in the face of illness (so this thing hitting her the way it did shows it's a strong-ass virus) and I've got some pre-existing respiratory issues that kind of get in the way (one reason I've been hoping I didn't catch the blasted beastie).  I've severe allergies and a partially collapsed lung that make respiratory ailments particularly crappy.

However, I do seem to be headed firmly in the direction of getting better rather than worse so that's a big plus . . . okay, make that an ubermegawow plus.

In any case, I'm mostly offline for the week as I sit on my butt at home . . . I know, one would think I would be online more but I just don't feel up to it as much as usual so no online bonus at the moment.

We have house guests so we're kind of self-quarantined on the third floor of our home so we don't infect our guests (my computer room is on second floor so mostly I use the little notebook computer which is a pain in the ass for me with it's Chinese interface and tiny hard-to-see screen).

So . . . if you email me or message me and I don't reply . . . there's a reason for it.  Please be patient, when all returns to normal healthwise, I will get back to you.

All the best,
Brian

2001: A Who Odyssey

I'm sick at the moment so not online as much as usual but this caught my eye and I wanted to pass it on.

Nice. Obviously not really 2001 but 2010 but then the power of the thing gets diminished.

Food Insecurity on Rise in US and we mean a LOT more people do not have enough food

Food insecurity is on the rise in the US, big time.  Before the recession, a record number of household could not afford adequate food for their families and many of those households had at least one person working full time . . . yes, they were working but still could not afford enough food for their tables.  Since the recession, the numbers have risen even more dramatically . . . forty-nine million people did not have consistent access to adequate food in 2008 and that's thirteen million more than the previous year and keep in mind those are US government numbers which often deflate problems like this.  The numbers in 2009 are likely to be even higher. See http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/18/opinion/18wed2.html for more on this.

Massive Tons of 3D Goodness Coming to Your Home in 2010 from Sony

Sony has officially announced that in 2010 they will be rolling out a whole bunch of products related to 3D for the home.

BRAVIA LCD HDTVs, VAIO machines, PlayStation 3, and Bluray discs are all set for 3D implementations to hit the market and while it's not stated in the press release, we can clearly see a CyberShot digital camera in the promotional video.

It is not clear yet if all of the product lines will get their 3D home versions out in 2010 of if they are just starting at that time. However, they will at least kick off with the Bravia lineup and since there are already a couple games in the pipe that have 3D compatibility, it seems likely we will see the PS3 vamp and perhaps the Bluray.

Actually, the mass market 3D initiative has already begun . . . just started by other companies so Sony is late to the game but they do seem ready to use a shock and awe strategy to overwhelm the competition with more offerings . . . a good thing as more products means more penetration.

Fuji already has a 3D digital camera on the market (I own the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and love it) so my guess is that Sony is watching how the Fuji camera does as it finalizes its own 3D digital camera. Acer already has a 3D notebook on the street in some markets (oddly, we don't yet have the Aspire 3D here in Taiwan which saddens me as I was going to snarf one up right away) and Asus is rolling out two 3D notebook computers soon so I would imagine Sony would act quickly to get its solution out as mass product (the other companies have not been aggressive in their marketing and have used a "testing the waters" strategy).

All the best,
Brian

HORRIBLE TURN the Musical Prequel with Teenage Horribleness

Keep in mind that Horrible Turn (http://www.horribleturn.com) is a fan-made production and while Joss Whedon is all for it, he didn't make it.  Watch it here or see it in high definitional biggness on their site.
