If emotional distress is sustained at a high level for prolonged periods of time, then it becomes very easy to inseminate the seeds of divergent patterns of thinking and behavior. \u00a0 The ability to reason and think clearly is diametrically opposite to the level of anxiety a person is feeling. \u00a0 Harassment and repeated tormenting of the emotions produces anxiety, and when anxiety is high the powers of reason are low. \u00a0 People will be more than eager to accept nearly any suggestion that offers escape from a presumed problem or threat. \u00a0 \u00a0But there is actually and always a double problem: the external unwanted condition and the integral internal feelings of anxiety about it. \u00a0 Anxiety is the personal, immediate, and close problem, so a suggestion for a solution made by the authoritarian regime may be acceptable to the people. \u00a0 A promise is made to change an external situation. \u00a0 Then hope replaces fear and everything will be ok, so the victim presumes. \u00a0 But this always creates a servile condition. \u00a0 Feelings can be modified and opinions manipulated without the hypnoidal citizen ever becoming aware of what\u2019s really going on. \u00a0 Changed behavior is then repeatedly reinforced through suggestions and examples of positive or negative consequences, pleasure or pain, according to wanted or unwanted behavior. \u00a0Subliminal or covert suggestion and pernicious propaganda cannot be transcended except through a thorough understanding of its sophisticated techniques. There are those who persist in trying to neutralize the individual spirit by using these techniques, but there are also those who maintain sovereignty over their own minds by neutralizing susceptibility to psychological compulsion.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>next click <a title=\"Dungeons of Darkness\" href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/dungeons-of-darkness\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCI1740.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1662\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCI1740.jpg\" alt=\"anxiety\" width=\"1024\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCI1740.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCI1740-150x103.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCI1740-501x344.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Frustration, bewilderment, and fear produce a strained anxiety, sometimes to the level of an emotional breakdown or refusal to contend any longer with difficult or exasperating circumstances. \u00a0A person begins to react automatically and unrealistically instead of responding reasonably and practically and may just give in to subordinating himself to the &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/sophisticated-techniques\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sophisticated Techniques<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1679,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1678","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1678"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1689,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1678\/revisions\/1689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
