Do you know the time?

Cognitive State of Critical Thinking

Do you know the time?

To ask a person if they know the time is to place them into a cognitive state of critical thinking.  To evaluate and to be critical we need a reference point or base line for comparison.

In the Beta Cycles Per Second brain wave speed the question,

“Do you know the time,”

Will start a mental Google search for a past experiences to base their answer on.

Because the question in its literal form has a YES or NO answer the person answering the question who actually tells you the time has moved from literal reality to critiquing and evaluating.

They then give you their answer according to their perception of what they thought you wanted.

The purpose to the question and the demonstration is to let a person know that when not in hypnosis their conscious mind is a filter controlled by past experiences.

To change behaviors in the present one must be able to filter out past behaviors, past traumas, past hurts, past pain and create a new history of what they want, not what they do not want.

One of the reasons Hypnosis is so powerful is because it is a door that can help a person who is willing to let go of the baggage of the past that are affecting them in the present.

The question is

“Do you know the time?”

The client tells you the time.

You ask,

“Why did you tell me the Time I did not ask you to?”

The answer to the question is a yes or no.  What you did was go back in time and give me the answer you thought I wanted from your past experiences.

You responded to your perception based on past experiences. To change your current behavior we will work on you letting go of the baggage of the past and the perceptions you have about smoking, weight, pain, etc…
