the application of magic as a psychological control (PSYCON), step by step process adapted from Lt. Col. Michael Aquino (US army, PSYOP) 🧵 ⚡️ 🧠
1. control of environment/adaptation of magic: for an illusion to be effective, the complete environment in which it’s activated must be controlled-lighting, noise, intentional distraction, target group alertness/receptiveness. illusions require advanced preparation out of view.
2. establishment of magician’s dominant relationship: the magician displays a persona (dress, assertive speech, body language, pressured pace, eye contact) designed to seize and hold the attention of the target and gradually replace their will/judgment with his own.
3. dictation of applicable elements: magician identifies to the target what objects/locations/procedures are important, restricting the problem to their interaction exclusively. consequently, the objects’ unremarkable behaviour becomes inexplicable in the artificial environment.
4. definition of variables: an object or procedure may be used in many ways, but the magician defines them so as to limit these ways to only those which make possible and reinforce the illusion.
5. instruction of behaviour: target participation is desirable, since going through the motions to supposedly produce the illusion suggests to the target group that they are somewhat responsible for it, thus encouraging belief in it.
6. limitation of possibilities: as he controls all of the object and procedure variables, the magician can force the outcome of the illusion into one which the equally predetermined alternatives appear to highlight as miraculous.
7. channeling of expectations: once in control of the elements of the illusion/targets’ perception and willpower, the magician instructs the target in what the possible outcomes of the illusion can be. it is now impossible for the objects/procedures to function in any other way.
8. interpretation of the result: once the illusion is produced, the magician makes it clear to the target group what it “obviously” signifies. he now implants - through announcement/emotional surprise/body language - their presumedly spontaneous reaction.
9. reinforcement of controlled perceptions: as necessary to establish the performed illusion firmly in “reality”, the magician follows it up with as many supporting devices and created impressions as are necessary.
awareness is key, the magicians are everywhere and everything is magic. guard yourself well, don’t let yourself become a target 🔮 /thread
in part 2 of magic as a PSYCON, i will give existing examples of each step of this process to illustrate how these controls are used every single day to hijack our will and replace it with that of the magicians. stay tuned. 🙏
publishing part 2 of this tomorrow 😊
