Be the Architect of your Impossible Dream

One of the best examples I can think of was a hypnotist I used to watch. Going to his show for the first time when I was 12 years old and his name was Reveen. ‘The Man They Call Reveen’. was the way they used to advertise him. The all powerful Reveen! He was amazing. I saw him a total of 5 times before he passed on his business to his Son. To me that was real magic. The first time we were sitting in the audience he asked all of us in the audience to put our hands together and to close our eyes. So everyone did. At least it seemed like everyone did. The lights were dimmed and we closed our eyes and every person clasped their hands together.

‘Listen only to my voice’ he said

Reveen went into a whole bunch of verbal hypnotic lines like ‘Now you are hearing my voice, listen to my voice and no one else's voice. As you listen to my voice you are going deeper and deeper into a trance. Just relax more and more and listen to my voice and only my voice’ that kind of thing. And as we are sitting there quietly listening he then gives us further instructions on keeping our hands very very tight. ‘As you keep your hands together very very tight I want you to think about how your hands are welded together and hold them tighter and tighter and keep listening to my voice and only my voice. Then when I count to 3, I want you to open your eyes and since you cannot get your hands apart then you are going to come up and see me on stage’ Then that is exactly what happened. I was with some friends, there were a bunch of us and my friend David had asked me to come along with his family to see the show. One of their friends' names was Sylvia, was with us and sure enough she could not get her hands apart. The crazy part was she was sitting right beside me. She was crying and really upset because no matter how  hard she struggled she just couldn’t get her hands apart. So she went up on stage. The process then when you went up on stage was for Reveen to take each person individually and he decided on the spot if you were in full hypnosis or just partially. Of the total audience of 2500 there were about 200 that had their hands together and just could not take them apart. He would look each person in the eye, give their hand a shake so their glued hands fell apart and then point them in the direction he would like them to go. He would point them towards the seats that were set up on stage or he would point them towards the stairs to exit and go back to their seats.

After all of that which took a little bit of time there was about 30 candidates left and they would all be sitting on the seats eagerly waiting for their next assignment. Then sort of the same kind of format happened where of the 30 people in the chairs Reveen would have them all sit upright in their chairs, the lights would go down as he asked them to close their eyes. He went into this time a longer and longer dialogue of hypnotic suggestion. He would tell them things like they are having a very very good rest with their eyes closed and that he was going to give them some more suggestions and that they would welcome his suggestions  and to listen to his voice and only his voice  and on and on. He told them that while they were under his hypnotic suggestion they were going to go deeper and deeper into trance. Deeper and deeper. While they were in under his spell and deep trance they were going to listen for and follow all the instructions he would give them. Then he would go over and touch an individual on the shoulder and say ‘by touching your shoulder I am instructing you too’....

Then they all started dancing

And then he would give that specific instruction. He told him that he wanted him to be the very best Orchestra Symphony Instructor that ever lived. He told him that once classical music started that his audience was his Orchestra, that they were all playing the loudest and biggest and most amazing piece of classical music that has ever been played and that he was making complete history that generations upon generations would forever learn about. Within a few minutes after the hypnotic suggestions, the classical music would begin as the man would stand up for a bow, walk out to what appeared to be his members with all their instruments and begin giving them instructions. He continued on as Reveen went to the next subject. For the next one he explained to him that upon Reveen awaking him that he would recognize that he was one of the greatest architects and sculptors and that one of his foremost projects was to build a Monumental Masterpiece of a sandcastle on the exit stairs. He would build it so big and with such great pride that it would take up the whole stairwell. Since he was such a master he knew that he had to build it right. That meant first putting in a very very wide foundation. From that foundation he would start sculpting and building his sand castle.

Making Sand Castles from thin Air

Reveen went on for another 5 minutes with very specific and minute detail of how revered and notorious this Architectural Sand castle Sculptor was and then gave him a couple more taps and sent him on his way.

Then on the next subject the instructions he gave was that he was a famous prince and that this prince had looked and looked all over the world and was so sad because he had yet to find his princess. He mourned over the fact that he might never find his princess  and was very fearful of being alone but knew that he would have to keep looking for his princess no matter what. Then he realized he finally had found his princess and it was certainly her. He would dance a jig around her, sing her songs of love and jump up and down with happiness. His last instruction was that he would get down on his knees and propose. The next subject then was to be the princess. She was so enamoured by all the attention from the prince that she just gushed as he danced around her as she fanned her face from all the heat. She just kept on fanning and fanning her face as the prince danced around. When the Prince finally proposed she was supposed to sort of just sigh and tell him she would have to think about it while he danced around her 5 more times before coming back to propose once again.

The next subject he told him that when he tapped him on the shoulder that Reveen was reminding him that the show was over and that now it was time for him to leave the show by exiting down the stairs. Reveen would point towards the stairs where the architect was building his castle. He explained to the guy that he would walk back to his seat and that his seat was half way up the middle aisle.

When he got back to his seat which was at the end of the row, as soon as he touched any seat his hand would become immediately glued to the seat and simultaneously as he touched the seat he would also look down and realize that he had forgotten his Tie. He was instructed to yell as loud as he could at Reveen from the audience and say ‘Hey Reveen’ I forgot my Tie’ ! and waive at him furiously as he did that. Eventually Reveen would look up at him so that he would have to repeat himself.

Have you seen my Tie

We took a short break and before the break Reveen planted another suggestion into each subject's mind that they were going on their break and when they were out in the lobby they were going to act like nothing different was happening. When the show started after intermission they were to return to the stage. That is exactly what happened. We all had an opportunity to watch different subjects in the lobby during intermission and they were acting normal as normal. When the announcement came to return inside the Theatre, that is exactly what the subjects did. As soon as they walked through the door, they would hear the music and it’s like they just transformed back into that state and character that Reveen had programmed them at as they went in the direction of the stage. Then all the subjects started acting out their characters. So you can imagine what this was all like to watch from the audience. 

Orchestra Instructor

Prince with the Princess

Sand Castle with the Architect

The guy with the tie

You immediately had the Symphony Orchestra Instructor waving his stick non-stop. The Prince going round and round his Princess he had just discovered and fell in love with going down on his knee to propose. The Princess continuously waved her fan and constantly gushing. The sand castle architect creating his sand castle masterpiece on the stage stairwell and the guy leaving the stage each time unintentionally walking thru the guys sandcastle, with the architect freaking out, then when the guy gets back to the chair his hand gets stuck as he realizes he forgot his tie, yells at Reveen to let him come back and get his tie, then comes up thru the stairwell and walks thru the newly created sand castle that the architect had just re-started. Each time the architect would get madder and madder as he waved his arms.

Living like a Wild Thing

It was just hilarious for all of us to watch each character develop and also to know that Reveen had created each subject into that character all by the power of suggestion.

So what I am saying is, how about your life? If Reveen can impress the subconscious that easily can you imagine the effect we can each have on our own selves if we each take the time to decide what we want and to trust that we can have anything we want. I would invite you to take the time to explore this. It really isn’t that complicated to manifest this part of ourselves. There are a lot of books out there that explain the subconscious mind on different levels that any of us can understand. Remember it as being easy to understand. Sometimes materials can be repackaged in such a way that they are harder to understand than needs to be. First you decided what you want. Then you trust the application of the subconscious mind.

Here is a simple way to think about it. Your creative subconscious mind can do almost anything you instruct it to do. It can change thoughts at your request, it can practice affirmations you create, it can wander in total mellowness meditation when you ask, and learn almost any new idea or skill when you decide. Your subconscious can think of everything you direct it to. Through discipline, effort and ongoing meditation and practice, it can also complete and accomplish anything you focus your thoughts on. The last thing is the subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is unreal. In other words when you act ‘as if’ something has already materialized in your life your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference and quickly goes to work on the how to of furnishing you with your request. This all sounds so metaphysical and you will have to do some further exploring and reading and studying into it and of course the best way is to focus on something you desire. Go into a dark or dimly lit room and just go into a total relaxation so you can be in tune with yourself. This is when the magic happens. There are multiple books on this subject available. You just need to experiment with your application of these principles to discover the best method that works for you.
