A man who fancied himself as a Lothario once dreamed that he could master the art of covert hypnosis. He imagined that he could seduce a string a beautiful women by engaging them in conversation, gaining their confidence and then commanding them to do his will. He might have succeeded in some cases. If so, his victims might never have known how or why the fell under what they thought was his charm. There are also instances of coquettes who have made men behave inexplicably, unless hypnosis can explain them.
When viewed from fifty years of hindsight films from the Second World War era might seem to depict a whole nation behaving extraordinarily. People strut about, responding to signs and sounds in what seems to be an irrational manner. They cheer en mass and on cue when a demagogue addresses them and refer to him as though he is a god. Irrationally, intelligent people express hatred of others who were their countrymen a few months earlier. A nation seems to have been hypnotized.
There are of course distinctions between mob behavior and hypnotic behavior. An important one is that a hypnotized individual cannot control himself. He is in a trance and has surrendered control to another. As in a dream the natural laws of the universe cannot be broken even if an individual tries. He may be commanded to walk upside down on a ceiling and will try to do that though he cannot defy the laws of gravity. This can be entertaining for onlookers.
Books and training materials are available online enabling one who is determined to learn the arts of covert hypnosis. Because success means power over individuals those who acquire the art also acquire the power to do good or evil. Hypnosis used in medical practice and police work is willingly shared but that used for nefarious purposes might be less well publicized.
Some people may be able to wield hypnotic influence over others whilst hardly realizing their power but intentional hypnosis is more intense and powerful. In both forms rapport is an essential first phase. A person who comes on stage during a public performance and one who gently subsides under the lilt of conversation have willingness and cooperation in common.
There will be many witnesses to the collaboration when a volunteer steps forward at a public performance but none in the case of covert hypnosis. This makes it more powerful and more dangerous in some ways. If collaboration is acquired insidiously, without the knowledge of the subject he or she is extremely vulnerable.
In literature there is a process known as the suspension of disbelief. This is when a reader knowingly 'suspends' his awareness that he is reading fiction and imagines that he is experiencing real life. A writer must be skilled to achieve this state just as a hypnotist must be skilled to induce a state of willing participation in a subject. The reader and the subject must both set aside their critical awareness during the process.
The crucial phase of covert hypnosis is getting the subject to do something that he or she would not do under normal circumstances. Some wealthy and powerful men have been known to give up their families, careers and money for a mistress. This illustrates the power that one person may have over another when a rapport exists and critical judgment has been thrown out of the window.
