Why and How Brainwashing Works
Control of the Mind/Brainwashing is an active hands on psychological manipulation of control inflicted on people to create a desired mindset and behaviors on the victim it is set out to change. If we look historically at Mind Control/Brainwashing is disguised by other terms. It’s been a tactic used politically and religiously through the ages to gain and keep control over people.
The Russian Scientist Pavlov was the first to pin down an explanation of this phenomenon through his work. He was able to pinpoint three phases that the brain goes through in the process of mind control. He defined them as three distinct and progressive states of transmarginal inhibitions that allowed for mind control to take effect. These three phases are:
1. The Equivalent Phase-In this phase the brain gives the same response to both strong and weak stimuli.
2. The Paradoxical Phase-The brain now responds quicker to weak stimuli as opposed to strong
3. The Ultra Paradoxical Phase-In this phase naturally conditioned responses and behavior patterns are changed from positive to negative or negative to positive
In each phase the degree of conversion becomes more and more complete. Different agents employ different methods to achieve conversion on their victims but in all case the first step is to work on the emotions of the victim. The idea is to bring the victim to a state of an abnormal level of fear, anger, excitement or nervous tension. The purpose of this is to progressively impair the persons judgmentand susceptibility. If this can be successfully achieved on the victim then the more this state of mind can be reinforced, maintained and intensified by the agent. Once a victim is in this mindset the feelings created can be compounded. When brain catharsis occurs in the first phase then the complete mental takeover by the agent is easier. At this point existing mental programming can be replaced with new patterns of behavior and thought.
