Hey Quent,

This is one subject that really excites me. Not because I have been exposed to all of the heavy sex and violence on the Discovery Channel. Have you ever watched some of the animal shows on the Discovery Channel? Shows like Fangs, were they present you with an hour of gut-wrenching, blood-squirting violence. It's an educational show, sort of like the evening news. Children love it!

Then there are the shows that are designed to depict the mating habits that exist in the wild. I have watched everything from kangaroos to lions engage in natural, wild, unadulterated sex. This is another one of those educational shows that children also love. Hmmmm, how is it these shows bypass the rating system here in the states?

Well, anyway I did say that this is a subject that excites me. And having placed some of the obvious reasons on the side, let me continue here.

As a trainer, one of my interests has been in developing the ability to install information, and processes designed to usefully sort that information, at a deeper, more unconscious level. I looked for models of where this was already being done, but kept coming up short. I asked myself, as a basis, what would have to be there, what would the primary elements be? The answer that I came up with was mastery of the use of nonverbal communication. With that in mind I began sorting differently for a model, and found one.

When I was younger I often found myself being fascinated with how well some the animals who traveled with the circus's were able to understand their trainers. Also, I had a friend who trained attack dogs. He would often train the one that he considered the brightest, and that dog would help in training the others. What I found in common with my friend who trained the dogs, and animal trainers who worked with the animals in the circus, was their ability to use non-verbally coded methods of communication.

So, and to shorten this a bit, I went out and found a gifted animal trainer who agreed to let me model what he did, and how he did it. I learned so very much from this experience, that I can actually hypnotize just about any animal, including the human type -- non-verbally. And when I am in front of a room in the process of training, I can actually cycle through many of the states from some of the different animals I have modeled using these skills.

When I want to build in trust, I may quickly cycle through the nonverbal elements of a wolf in a submissive posture. Or, if I want to drive home a point that I think is important, I may quickly cycle through a state the wild dogs from Africa use when signaling their young to pay attention.

Obviously, there is more to all of this than could meet the eye. Also, this is not the appropriate forum for teaching these skills. But I will say these skills are very effective for bypassing conscious awareness while getting the desired response. They also make great anchors for setting up and closing loops.

Enough for now, going to watch another not-rated-X sex show on the Discovery Channel. This one is about how many times, in one day, the lion mates.

Be well
