cored-unit-0210: bannableoffense:shaman58:—Reading the following may lead to trance. Choose wisely.—There it is again. That picture of a woman with elaborate makeup and long fingernails. She is staring blankly into the camera, straight at you.Why do your friends keep reblogging this picture? What’s so special about it?Go back to scrolling down your dashboard, looking for something to help you get off.But there she is again, staring straight at you, those long fingernails resting on the side of her face. Why does everyone keep reblogging this? It isn’t especially sexy. You can’t even see her breasts.Is it because she has such a blank face? The hypnosis fetishists like that sort of thing. It looks like her gaze has been trapped by something, like she cannot look away.What do you suppose that is like, to find yourself focussing on what you are seeing, so that you can’t look away. Would it be like having your gaze locked, so that you couldn’t help yourself? Or is it rather like enjoying what you are looking at, finding something intriguing about it, something beguiling and fascinating, so that maybe you can look away, but you don’t want to look away, and the more you gaze into those entranced, entrancing eyes the more you want to keep gazing into them.Until eventually it’s too late, and you are trapped by that gaze and are loving being trapped by it.Could that be why everyone is reblogging this picture? Because they are actually hypnotized into it?Hypnotized? By a still photograph? That’s ridiculous.Besides, you aren’t looking at the photograph any more; you’re reading this caption. Although it might be nice to scroll back up and look at it for a while.In case you lost track, you can continue reading here. Although you might want to go back and read from the beginning, just to be sure.Her lips are parted, and her face is in repose. She looks totally calm and at ease. Blank and mindless, even.What do you suppose it’s like to really be blank and mindless? Maybe you’re experienced with hypnosis, and can recall times when you have been in a state of mind like that, your thoughts slipping away, what’s left of your mind getting quieter and quieter, until you are completely at ease, just like the model in the photograph.Or maybe you have never been blank and mindless before. If that’s the case, think about what it might be like, to notice that the thoughts that pass through your mind slip away quickly. The only thoughts passing through your head right now are probably the words you are reading right now.If you want to be really blank and mindless, without reading words, you can scroll back up to the picture and imagine that is you, staring blankly and mindlessly into the cameral, at ease and at peace. Take some time with that, and then find your place again.You can continue reading here. Although it can be tempting to go back to the beginning again, to be sure you didn’t miss anything.Now you know what it’s like to be blank and mindless, just like the model in the photograph.Blank and mindless.And you are about to find out why so many people are reblogging this: it is because they read this, and became blank and mindless, and read a deliciously compelling suggestion to reblog this photograph, making sure to include this caption. Part of the fun of being blank and mindless like this, part of the pleasure, is following suggestions, of knowing that you have to follow the suggestion, because you want to follow the suggestion, that it is fun to follow the suggestion, and when you reblog this picture and caption, you will feel a moment of pleasure.And now you know what it is like to be blank and mindless, and having experienced that and enjoyed it, it is now time to come back and resume reading your Tumblr dashboard. I am going to count from one to five, and with each count, your mind and your experience will return to normal.One. Beginning the process of returning to normal.The truth is, you get to choose whether or not to experience the delight of following my suggestion.Two. More and more aware of your surroundings.Nothing is compelling you except your own choice to reblog this post, if that is what you want.Three. More and more awake.At least now you know this picture is showing up so many times on your dashboard.Four. Returning to the surface of everyday life.And Five. Wide awake.(source: @bombshellssonly; via puppetofms)http://shaman58.tumble.com/tagged/original… wow… >///> Sample what it means to be Blank and Mindless. -- source link
