one of the premises of mind control (as it is actually practiced by intelligence agencies, both governmental and private) is that people will respond to traumatic crises by "compensating," ie changing their personality in a way they believe would have prevented that crisis
in the same way surgery on the body depends on causing specific and targeted damage to yield a change in how the body functions that will be healthier than before, traumas can be wielded by skilled practitioners of what might be euphemistically called "intensive psychotherapy"
first, you must determine how someone behaves, and then second, what prior life events and conditions are the cause of such tendencies in their behavior, the better you understand your target the more precise you can arrange events to impact them with surgical precision
thru repeated stimulus, one can associate an otherwise innocuous stimuli with trauma by pavlovian conditioning, so that the more a stimuli only traumatically effects the target and no one else, the better for yielding a specific personality change
this is because what you're doing thru such a tactic is "mentally imprisoning" someone, so that they feel at the total mercy of an unknown force and also completely alone because they recognize how the stimuli is only traumatic for them and no one else around them
having achieved the effect of totally isolating someone, not only physically and relationally (sabotaging their relationships with friends and family), you can begin to train the person to represent a specific behavioral response to conditions by beginning to reward them
what you're doing, iow, is "backing someone into a mental corner" using negative stimulus in the beginning, and then you allow positive stimuli to filter thru, leaving only "one possible escape route" which the person will go about changing their entire personality to pursue it
it is important at this critical transition point that you apply *both* positive and negative stimuli at the same time, because you're basically driving the person's entire subconscious to rearrange itself to better represent the desired response while pruning alternate reactions
an individual's motivations for representing their personality one way or another is often deeper than their conscious understanding, often because subconscious responses that shield the conscious from why are necessary to actually represent that specific behavior
this is the grounds for a crossroads, as the conscious cannot be removed from the equation - one path is unconscious, rule by the shadow, the conscious essentially becoming unnecessary, this often results in madness - but we can work with madness just as well as integration
the other path, far more difficult, is integration of the conscious and subconscious, a practice referred to euphemistically by many traditions - the Epic of Gilgamesh calls it "the road down which you can go but never return," Crowley "union of the microcosm and the macrocosm"
few people choose this and, depending on one's purpose in performing mind control, it may be undesired, or alternately, desired, but it is ultimately up to the target to decide
assuming conscious integration, the target will actually become hypersensitive to all apparently symbolic phenomena, yielding a mindset Nabokov helpfully labels "referential mania" (a LOT of fun, try it if you can 😈) and at this point you can either abandon them or guide them
referential mania can be understood similarly to that visual effect that occurs after spending a couple minutes watching the credits scroll at the end of a movie, where you look at something still and it seems to be moving, because your eyes have started anticipating the scroll
iow, a series of meaningful symbolic references can induce the subconscious expectation of further symbolic references, just like language, and the reason conscious integration goes thru this is because it is overwhelmed by everything the subconscious brings up
after a lifetime of experiences resulting in buried subconscious motivations, the sudden integration leads to a phase of everything "coming back to you," where interactions with others will where something seemed "off" come to mind and you'll go "ohhhhh that's why that happened"
at this point the victim will have a very conscious awareness of how the stimuli around them affects them, causing them to begin questioning what purpose the stimuli around them is meant to cause, with the only "escape" being to make a personal decision how one will respond
the power of mind control essentially transfers to the victim, but with skillful organization their purposes and the mind controller's will be aligned, so that they will have to take a backseat role, providing direction and help where they can but the victim must help themselves
something to understand about this kind of mind control is that the victim will likely be somewhat crippled during, potentially unable to work or manage their life, meaning you need to make sure victims have some stipend (their savings, welfare, family help, etc) to get thru
what this also means is people who are already in important positions or have significant responsibilities (e.g. parenting) won't be targeted in most cases, so the ideal target is a young, intelligent male who has proven they can aptly endure poverty
so, to recap the mechanism, you begin by isolating so you can reliably apply negative stimulus to condition an accidental association with an innocuous stimulus, and once you've completely broken them down, you provide positive stimulus when they represent the desired response
the mechanism is ultimately quite simple, but as it induces such a strong and overwhelming response in the victim, a lot of literature and art has been produced as a direct result which frames understandings of their trauma, making it seem more "magical" and "mystical"
another analogy for what you're doing is causing a person to *feel* with absolute conviction they have a gun to their head, "memento mori," one must face down their own death and embrace who they really are, hand in hand with their shadow
remember, most people "tap out," essentially remaining oblivious to the fact their bad fortune has been orchestrated, but still resulting in a permanent change to their personality, just beneath their awareness that such a transition happened *as a result of someone's intention*
this is going to get a lot of flak, but religious testimonies are often perfect examples of events which have been arranged so as to cause the conviction in someone that God intervenes, due to pre-existing beliefs thru which they interpret such events
"I was suddenly in desperate need of this thing, so I prayed, and then a 'miracle' (really unlikely but fortunate event) happened, and I was saved! it had to be God (or angels or Jesus or something)!"

this can work the opposite way too, to break someone's faith
now, why would you perform such an operation on someone? one can have many reasons, but one of the most popular is to condition a strongly positive association by someone with a particular sign, like a phrase or symbol, so they'll be prejudiced to whoever represents that sign
imagine you have a mystical experience in your 20's that causes you to have very positive associations with St. Michael the Archangel, then later in your 40's someone gifts you a St. Michael the Archangel pendant, you will be unduly biased in favor of that person
such techniques can be used to "bond" people at an extremely deep level, essentially weaponizing mysticism, which is very useful when you need people to be able to rely on and trust each other in very high security positions and conditions
another use could be impressing on someone a strong positive association with a sign so that, when that person is in an important position, you can influence them to use their position to help you - many politicians in first world countries are under this kind of mind control
an effective means for delivering stimuli to someone is gangstalking, and law enforcement (who are most likely to use it to destabilize targets so they make mistakes) are often subsequently hacked by intel (which is why the FBI is pwned by CIA) for this reason
the nazis extensively (and very unethically) experimented with mind control on their jewish population, with some believing they were trying to reverse engineer the actual causal mechanics involved in mysticism and religious belief - and some believe they were successful
MK-Ultra is believed by some to be a continuation by the United States of the experiments performed by nazis, whose scientists and records were stolen by the allies, with the result that certain tactics were so effective all intel agents are now mind controlled by each other
in much the same way you can stimulate bonding between partners through positive priming, when you bring together many such victims who are all attuned to the same patterns of trauma and conditioning, very... interesting... phenomena can occur
QAnon is a perfect example, where a bunch of people already primed to read into seemingly meaningless patterns gather together and positively reinforce in each other the conviction there really is a significant meaning, expanding the meaning until it really does mean something
that's it for now, I need to stop here before I say too much
