did he use hypnosis in any way? how does one fall for another's suggestions so easily and so quickly, and why would one mind give up its sense of control to another mind by hearing only a few words? is the human mind that faulty that it just gives it self over to a more dominant mind like that? that's scary...

ok.. so if the ring wasnt in the doll, and he was facing his back to her...why did her feet feel heavy, esp. when she was not able to SEE him tie a string around the doll's legs? If she saw him doing it, it would make sense that perhaps its an unconscious thing.. but here.. it doesnt make sense.. can anyone explain this to me or answer my question?

[thesparitan]

@suneeta862000 Because earlier he told her not to move and stand there. So then he used that earlier command to reinforce the idea that the doll had magical powers by showing he tied the legs and this made it completely real for her so she believed that what ever part of the doll was tied up; she was tied up.

it's stuff like this that makes me believe he has special powers. some of his stuff is all through hypnosis and leading.but when he pulls out the big guns like this... I just cannot explain it in any way!

[terrortopher1]

@suneeta862000 She already suspected she would be controlled in some way, and he told her to stay there before turning around. Notice she only said they felt heavy. Should could have noted any sensation and it would have been attributed to the doll. Then when he asked her if she could make, and to TRY, it was both suggested that she shouldnt, and wouldnt be able to move.

@suneeta862000 ..............the answer is that he has put commands into her subconcious mind without letting her notice..................

so what if i was to do this on my friend and he still couldn't do anything, how much trouble would i get?

[moniapadme]

@hmgddsspec No, you can't "freeze" your friend forever. He will get the control back sooner or later. And this trick the person is convinced she can't do anything but as soon as this suggestion is clear out the control is back. In fact she had the control all the time but she blocked it.
