How Time Shifting is used
Perception of Privacy Being Invaded
The perceived order of events is changed. It may seem disturbing that this is easily done by the mind but it's for a purpose. It allows the unconscious to rearrange perceptions to help us with awareness (call it a way to improve comprehension and retention when learning).
When giving suggestions/commands to hear schizophrenic voices, there are often what can be perceived as placeholders. Time shifting is what fills in the blank with details from a person's own awareness in what appears to be a seamless way.
Details pulled from the person's own awareness can include:
- The person's name
- Names of family and friends
- Names of others the person knows
- Details only the person knows
- Personal details
- Something only they witnessed
- Something that just occurred/is occurring
- What the person just thought
- What the person just said
- What the person just did
- What the person is doing
- Position the person is sitting or laying in
- Events or activities the person has planned
- Anything that a person can be aware of
This allows a hypnotist to create an illusion of knowing everything a person says, does, or thinks. If the unconscious part of the mind is able to follow the suggestions at a fast enough pace... the illusion can be difficult to see through.
All this can occur with the hypnotist knowing virtually nothing about the person being given the suggestions. Due to this it's possible to record suggestions for hours on end to be played back to anyone that's suggestible. Reason's it may be done:
- To incapacitate the person - overwhelm the unconscious part of the mind
- To interfere with normal function - cause the unconscious to pull/force awareness to shift too often
- Too many things to make aware off
- Too strong a shift or too often
- To create the appearance of psychosis
- To keep the person from understand what's happening
- To Keep the person from figuring out how it happened
- To hide those responsible
