See Straight Into Their Brains
He was a pretty good looking guy, and his wife was pretty attractive.
They were both upstanding members of their neighborhood, and everybody jumped on board to support him.
He even gave a few news conferences, asking for help.
If you’ve seen the movie, “Gone Girl,” or read the book, it was kind of like that.
Only in real life, he killed his wife. And then he became famous for seeming so innocent and “victim-like” when he was really a stone cold killer.
What gave him away?
When the cops were talking to him, he slipped up. One little mistake in his language.
See, if you’re a guy who’s wife really disappeared, you’d like hold out hope she was still alive.
That’s what humans tend to do.
Not this guy. He knew she was gone, because he was the one who ended her.
He was describing her, her activities, and he slipped up and used the past tense, instead of the present tense.
Within the tens of thousands of words he spoke on TV, and to the cops in private, that one little mistake gave him away.
After that, when the cops KNEW he did it, it was just a matter of time before he cracked.
This is the power of language.
Most people see conversational hypnosis as a means to covertly put your ideas into the heads of others.
To be sure, that’s a very good way to use these patterns. Especially if you’ve got some really good ideas you KNOW your listener will appreciate.
But it’s also a great way to pay attention to the language of others, so you can see what’s REALLY on their minds, with X-ray vision.
Now, I’m not saying you should go out and start interrogating people.
But consider how useful this would be if you were talking to a loved one, and they were saying one thing, but thinking something else.
Maybe they were afraid to ask for something, or too shy to say “no” to something.
These patterns would help you understand what was REALLY their minds, so you could help them express themselves in the way they REALLY wanted to.
I’m sure you can imagine how you could strengthen your relationships.
That’s what happens when you start learning these patterns, and more importantly, start doing the “drills” to learn them.
You’ll soon start to see whole new world, just beneath the surface structure words people are using.
