2. Voice Projection

And as well as that, another one of my favourite mind control tricks and what I believe to be the most important thing in all of this is your voice, the biggest predictor of how good someone is going to be, when they're just starting out using mind control tricks is their voice, and it all comes down to the clarity and the volume in which they speak.

So as an example, the next time you see two people having a conversation... you can see who's the more alpha just by taking the time to notice how they're projecting their voice, nine times out of ten the most alpha person will be the one with the loudest and the clearest voice.

Go look in any social situation and you'll see that the person with the best voice is always the one with the higher value and once you learn how to use your voice in the right way to sub-communicate high value, you'll start to notice that when you talk people will be sucked into your reality because they find you interesting and this makes people feel comfortable around you.

3. Verbal Leading

So as you work on these sub communications, another one of the mind control tricks I have learnt is, you also want to adopt the mindset of an alpha and the first thing that I can say anyone who is an alpha has in common, is we assume people will follow our lead, so if I'm talking I'm leading the conversation, I'm the one who's coming up with the interesting topics of conversation, or I'm the one with the funny story.

You need to lead every interaction, and I know at first this may seem foreign to you at the start, but you just need to push past this feeling until leading becomes a part of you because leading demonstrates confidence and leading demonstrates dominance which are both traits of an alpha.

So as an alpha one of the mind control tricks you can use is, you want to lead every interaction that you're in, and you need to lead physically as well as verbally.

So an example of physical leading would be... "hey... let's go for lunch at that Italian place." because you're physically leading by saying "hey... come on let's go here, let's go to this place".

An example of verbal leading is just leading the conversation, so when you're talking to people one on one or in group situations, you are the one who is bringing up the interesting conversation topics, you are the one who is talking about the movie you just saw, you are the one who is telling the jokes or the funny stories and if you watch closely, this is exactly what the controller of a group always does.

How easy is it to conduct a study that pulls the wool over just about everyone's eyes?

A friend recently sent me a write-up about a junior high school student who won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair.

For his project, he asked people to sign a petition demanding stern regulation and possibly even a ban of a chemical called dihydrogen monoxide.

The Eagle Rock Junior High student listed seven reasons why the chemical needed strict controls...

1) It can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2) It is a major component in acid rain
3) It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
4) Accidental inhalation can kill you
5) It contributes to erosion
6) It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
7) It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

Out of 50 people, 43 signed the petition. Six were undecided.

And one said no. Apparently he had paid attention in chemistry class, so he knew that dihydrogen monoxide is the chemical name for water.

It's THAT easy.

How to Spot a Liar through Body Language
By Adam Dachis


Positive body language:

Moving or leaning closer to you
Relaxed, uncrossed limbs
Long periods of eye contact
Looking down and away, out of shyness
Genuine smiles


Negative body language:

Moving or leaning away from you
Crossed arms or legs
Looking away to the side
Feet pointed away from you, or towards and exit
Rubbing/scratching their nose, eyes, or the back of their neck

Fake Smiles

People are bad at offering a genuine smile when they're lying. In fact, a genuine smile (often referred to as a Duchenne smile), is often said to be impossible to fake.

This is why many of us end up with awkward family photos. We may think we look like we're smiling, but to most anyone it looks like we're faking it.

This is because your smile is in your eyes, or, more specifically, the wrinkles around them.

You display a few crows feet when you smile genuinely because your smile pushes up your cheeks, which bunches up the skin near your eyes.

It's fairly hard to fake this. You need to feel some sort of genuine happy emotion at the time to do it, and when you're uncomfortable this is next to impossible.

This is why a non-genuine smile can be a helpful indicator of a lie in progress.

Stiff Upper Body and Too Much Eye Contact

Liars like to overcompensate when they're lying, and so they'll often try to remain still and offer eye contact.

This will often result in so much eye contact it's often a little unsettling, and their body will become stiff because they're attempting not to fidget.

Normally, people move and do not hold eye contact for extended periods of time. When uncomfortable, however, people will often rub their neck or eyes and look away to the side.

Rather than exhibit the positive body language that would imply comfort, liars tend to opt for doing very little.

This, in and of itself, is an indicator. Look for tense shoulders and an unusually high amount of eye contact and you'll be more likely to spot a liar.

Context and Paired Behaviors

In addition to all these non-verbal cues, you'll need to pay attention to the context.

Liars will often offer more details in their stories, suggest punishments for the "real culprit" if they're being accused of something, and answer your questions with a question to give them time to fabricate an answer, rather than provide you with the truth.

These behaviors, when paired with standard negative body language and the previously mentioned cues that liars exhibit, give you the right mix of untrustworthy behavior.

Separately they may not mean much, but together they point to dishonesty.

It's important to remember, however, that some people are just awkward and exhibit this kind of behavior with regularity.

You should take the way a person normally acts into consideration as well. Watch their mannerisms and eye movements when you know they're telling the truth and compare that to the times when you think they're lying.

When you see consistent change when certain statements are made, you'll know how this specific person acts when they're thinking of what to say rather than recalling information.

Again, this or anything else previously mentioned isn't sufficient in detecting lies. You have to look for multiple cues or what you'll just discover that you're fooling yourself into believing you know the difference between fact and fiction.

Breaking Habits

Let us find out how to understand this whole process of habit forming and habit breaking.

We can take the example of smoking, and you can substitute your own habit, your own particular problem, and experiment with your own problem directly, as I am experimenting with the problem of smoking.

It is a problem, it becomes a problem, when I want to give it up; as long as I am satisfied with it, it is not a problem.

The problem arises when I have to do something about a particular habit, when the habit becomes a disturbance.

Smoking has created a disturbance, so I want to be free of it.

I want to stop smoking; I want to be rid of it, to put it aside, so my approach to smoking is one of resistance or condemnation.

That is, I don't want to smoke, so my approach is either to suppress it, condemn it, or to find a substitute for it -instead of smoking, to chew.

Now, can I look at the problem free of condemnation, justification, or suppression?

Can I look at my smoking without any sense of rejection?

Try to experiment with it now as I am talking, and you will see how extraordinarily difficult it is not to reject or accept.

Because, our whole tradition, our whole background, is urging us to reject or to justify rather than to be curious about it.

Instead of being passively watchful, the mind always operates on the problem.

Fears

If you want to learn more about a person, ask them what scares them the most.

What was the scariest movie they saw or what book gives them the shivers?

You probably find that what a person saw as a child affects them still today.

Some people I know will not go swimming in the ocean because they saw Jaws the Movie when they were children.

Knowing another’s fear will give you a better insight into that person.
