Everyone should know what "compulsion" is. It is using a stronger state of mind against a weaker state of mind to bend to your will. It's like a form of hypnosis, but you don't have to take it step by step. Usually after achieving high levels of meditation. All you have to do is lock eyes with someone and concentrate for a split second to capture their will.
You can plant a thought in their mind, sometimes without verbally speaking, or getting them to do something without verbally asking them to.
Mind you, this art and practice has been around before television maybe even books.
Do you believe in this craft? Why or why not? Have you done it, seen someone do it first hand? Or just heard o it being done outside of fictionalized television, cyber media, and books?
No, only in films and books.
I would have to witness it in operation to believe it.
Though looking into a beautiful pair of eyes has often inspired me to do something I would'nt usually do, not compulsion though, lust :)
As described, I would have to say it is from fiction. I have met people that are very charming and have a way of manipulating people to do things for them with very little effort. Generally this is called a sociopath, lol.
Interesting topic. Curious to see what others say. Some people are hard to resist. I knew one and his sister kept wondering why (women especially) were always doing things for him. It appeared to be by their own free will but she didn't understand it. He never offered much in return. It came with gifts as well. He was indeed very charming but not much else.
I want to learn that, not to do bad, but to be able to send out my will s a compulsion to make the criminal or baddies hurt themselve
but I think that compulsion is also bad as many would use it to do wrong things and abuse
Compulsion is used everyday in everything you see, hear, taste, or feel...it is known in media advertising as "programming" and quite frankly, the mind is a very pliable tool to be molded and sculpted by just about anyone or anything. If you feel that's entirely impossible...then take any number of prescriptions out there on the market..Ambien..wowza..now there's a good one..;) Read the label..there's one particular drug that is well known for making one "sleep-walk" while conscious...o.O You will hide the car keys from yourself and then turn around and accuse your children of moving your things whilst everyone in your home perceives you as "lost" on the planet...@_@
Being someone who lives in an altered state of consciousness 24/7 whether via temporal lobe seizures or via the anti-seizure drugs I am on...trust me when I say this...however much you deem yourself in control of your own mind...you truly are not....now put down the Snickers bar already..you're merely being obsessive over chocolate candy bars because of that commercial you've seen only 15 times in the last episode of Star Trek..o.O
i think its not nearly as easy too do as hypnotism its real i have done it to friends cause they wanted to see there past, but is also deadly to try and do it if you think negative to so be careful and compulsion is fiction,
Compulsion is true and advanced exercises and high state of mind required to achieve the art.
I am not able to do it in my life form. Coz I do lack regularity in exercises.
Better to try to achieve goodness everytime and each moment of time.

See what you have done now..... I just have to have chocolate!!
Oh the power you must have lol
Though i don't personally believe in this craft, to the extent of split second control with just a stare, i have heard of visual hypnosis while doing nothing but staring at someone of a weaker or less trained mind. The effect is limited and less effective than true hypnosis but it can still help/hinder someone for the rest of their lives.

@_@ The power of cocoa beans!!!....whahahahaha! You shall now be under my seizured compulsion to feast on left over chocolate Easter Bunnies!!! :P
Powerful indeedy...;)
Programming....it's what makes the world go on a binge folks..I'm telling ya...;)
Well, can be possible and at the same time scary. Think if some pedophile can master the technique of controlling kids, wow, but, if you have a brain, if you don't use it, for sure, someone else will do it for you.
Compulsion is the pressing need to do something and is often accompanied with obsessive thoughts.
It's a cool underground name for mind control though, but it is already called 'Pinging'
Ha-ha that too is true.
But here the thread i thought the technique referred to exercises.
Or there is no compulsion.
Sort of like Jedi mind tricks?
I don't believe in it as an overwhelming power: strong vs weak minded but I do believe in the power of suggestion and subtle persuasion.
With some skill, a person could easily read a person and influence that someone into doing what they want. It's not always about suggesting something, but the WAY you suggest it.
Have to agree with that Mobius.
People do that easilyall the time - 'puppy-dog eyes' gets me a cookie from my two-year old neice when she's reluctant to part with any LOL.
Being a pagan, this would be expressly forbidden. It could be used to do Harm, and thus violate most of the pagan principles, and ancient precepts.
Not sure..unless someone actually has the ability to affect another's Dopamine levels along with D2 receptors .
i believe in compulsion, yes i have a special gift where ppl automatically trust me when they look in my eyes and sometimes they do wat i tell them to do, i never use it for bad though i give em good advice :)
Chloe it could also fall under something called "Laws of Attraction." It's a sence of almost instant empathy with this connection.
I believe that it is real, if you think about it all you are doing is sending energy, that is all it is, sending your will(or energy) into someone else and they absorb it.
