One of the first things that people notice about Underground Hypnosis is that the program is based on a concept that is referred to as Black Ops. This leads many people, at first glance, to think that the basis for Underground Hypnosis is something that is sinister, otherworldly, or even a scam.

A quick review of the material proves that is not the case. While the name may attract a lot of people who think that the purpose of hypnosis is a tool to force people into doing something that the individual does not want to do, the truth is that the program is about quite a different approach.

Taylor Starr has designed a series of sessions that begin with the basics and progress all the way through to using hypnosis as a steady tool to prevent manipulation from other sources. While providing some valuable insight on the way that unscrupulous persons use covert control, the material takes it one step further and turns the situation around.

Instead of being manipulated by others, the application of Black Ops makes it possible to resist those manipulations and also alter the course of the interaction. This type of application makes it possible to exert influence that can improve relationships, create significant opportunities in the business world and in general improve the quality of life.

A large part of Black Ops involves getting inside your own brain and learning what you are capable of accomplishing. During this process of self-realization, the student is expected to get a handle on what type of goals the individual possesses. Black Ops identifies strengths that can be applied to the task of achieving those goals, and understanding how to use verbal and non-verbal communications that result in the willing involvement of other people in the attainment of those goals.

Part Four of the series is entitled “Black Ops Truth Extractor.” The session involves learning to pick up on verbiage that helps the listener to know how true the remarks of the speaker happen to be. Along with identifying indicators that something is not quite on the level, the session also gets into some exercises and verbal interaction that can defuse the dishonesty and prompt the speaker to begin revealing truths about the subject of discussion. If nothing else is gained from purchasing this program, the information contained in this one session is worth the purchase price.

Also of a great deal of use is the section on common control techniques. As with Part Four, the session entitled “The Roots of Covert Control – The Majors” is presented in such a way that it is hard to not begin nodding in agreement while reading the text. Some of the indicators that are identified are so common that many people simply overlook them, out of familiarity. However, the session does not leave it at that. Instead, techniques that can take those triggers and use them to redirect the conversation and the thought process so that the flow of events is more favorable.

A review of the Underground Hypnosis course will quickly demonstrate that the presentation draws heavily from a number of different sources. However, there is not any other place to get all this information in one place. To the credit of the author, the material includes several different approaches but manages to remain coherent throughout all the seven main sessions or parts.

The information is arranged in a manner that allows easy review of earlier sessions when ideas are referred to later in the text. This ease of review is one of the little things about this course that help to make it much more informative and user friendly than many similar courses that are online today.

While some of the terminology and the presentation are a little esoteric, the information contained within Taylor Starr’s materials is factual and definitely worth the cost.

In life, there are cycles of good and bad. Times when our lives seem joyful and easy, and times when we’re struggling through what seem like endless difficulties. Then there are times when the two seem to co-mingle. These are the times I call bittersweet. Perhaps you’ve had a bittersweet period in your own life? Usually it begins with something wonderful, followed immediately by something awful. You get a great promotion at work, then your spouse loses his or her job. Or you finally start making progress on your new fitness regime, and you pull a muscle, putting you out of commission for a week or two. A new baby is born into your family, and then a loved one passes away suddenly (or sometimes not so suddenly).

Currently, I find myself in a bittersweet period of my own. My husband and I recently purchased our first home. This has been a dream of ours for years, and we’ve worked hard to make it happen. Finally the dream came true, and we moved into our new home less than two weeks ago, eager to begin a new phase of our lives.

Then the hammer dropped. In the same week, we received news that two family members have been diagnosed with cancer. My husband’s uncle, and my mother (who also just moved into our new home with us).

During the years I’d fantasized about what it would be like to have our dream of homeownership come true, I never expected a dark shadow to be cast over the joy of our new situation. Somehow, I thought it would be smooth sailing once the hard work was done and we achieved our goal.

For the first few days after we received the bad news, I felt somewhat indignant toward the powers that be. Why now? Why couldn’t we just enjoy the experience of our new home ownership, and deal with the bad stuff later? Yes, I admit, such thoughts are selfish, not to mention futile. Life doesn’t work like that, and the universe doesn’t revolve around our wishes. There will always be difficulties to work through, regardless of what else is happening in our lives at the time. We simply have to carry on, because there is nothing else to do. Still, I felt like a petulant child, pouting because pain, fear, and uncertainty had chosen this moment to knock on our door.

A few nights later I was feeling restless, unable to concentrate on anything. I was afraid for my loved ones, worried that the cancer may have spread, wondering what was going to happen. Finally I decided to sort through some still-unpacked boxes to take my mind off my worries. It was late and the house was silent and still when I crept out to the garage. I began quietly sorting through a box of miscellaneous items when a wave of weariness came over me, and I sat down heavily on a folding chair to collect my thoughts. In the grip of despair, I reached out with my heart and mind to the universe, seeking, asking for…something. Comfort? Strength? Reassurance? Guidance? I don’t even know what I needed at that moment, I just reached out wordlessly from my soul, hoping to get a response that made everything all right again.

Suddenly my attention was pulled to an item resting just inside the top of the box I had been sorting through. It was the corner of a greeting card I had tossed into the box in the haste of packing. I reached out and pulled on the corner of the card, and as it emerged from the box, I saw that the front of it featured a bouquet of flowers and the words, “thank you”. A flood of warmth washed over me then, flowing through every fiber of my being, clearing my mind, lifting my heart, refreshing my spirit. Yes. THANK YOU! That was the answer I had been seeking.

There, in the cool, quiet garage, I finally understood that the dark shadow that had been cast over our lives didn’t have to blot out our joy. Do we despair when clouds blot out the brilliance of the sun? No. We simply continue on with our lives, working, playing, laughing, loving. The bitter CAN co-exist with the sweet. I realized that it’s a matter of perspective, as are so many things in life. It’s true that bitterness has the power to taint sweetness, but it’s also true that sweetness can ease the intensity of bitterness. It just depends on which angle you focus on. Thankfully, the universe found a way to remind me that I have a choice, and I began focusing more on gratitude and joy again.

The next morning, my husband and I had some errands to run, and as we drove along a street we’ve traveled numerous times, I saw a side street that I’d never noticed before. I glanced up at the sign and saw that the street name was “Bittersweet Lane.” Honestly, it didn’t look like a bad place to live. 🙂

Numerology is an interesting stream of knowledge that offers you an insight into yourself through numbers associated with you. It could be considered an offshoot of astrology. What astrology does through stars and sun signs, numerology does through numbers. Among all numerological findings birth day numerology is considered to make best revelations about you.

There are two ways of ascertaining numerological facts through birthday numerology. The first approach is to sum up all numbers of your birth date and to continue the process of summation till you reach at one digit number. Then numerological details associated with the number are analyzed to make a statement about your real self and anticipated incidents of your life.

For example, if your date of birth is 12/04/1984, summation approach would lead to following number:

1+2+0+4+1+9+8+4=29
2+9=11
1+1=2

Thus 2 is the number that would reveal numerological facts of the person born on the date 12/04/1984.

The other way is to simply look at the number of the day of the month in which you were born. All possible dates of months have been accorded with certain numerological traits with which a person is identified.

Following are the numerological details associated with birth dates from 1st of a month to 5th of the month-

Number 1
People born on 1st are number 1 people. They are said to be leaders. They possess strong will power and their confidence is unmatchable. They could be aggressive at times.

Number 2
People born on 2nd of any month are number 2 people. They are undoubtedly emotional and sensitive. They often fall prey to mood fluctuations.

Number 3
People born on 3rd of any month are number 3 people. They are very energetic, confident and active. They possess great resilience power.

Number 4
People born on 4th of any month are number 4 people. They possess great organizing and managing skills. Thought they are a little adamant on their views.

Number 5
People born on 5th of any month are number 5 people. They are very dexterous at reflecting their thoughts through words. Their versatility is unmatchable and they hate stagnation in life. They are the people who change the order of the world.

However there exists some ambiguity in these statements as details based on numbers of month is common for all months. For example two persons born on 12th of April and 12th of January would share common traits according to this birth day numerology that is contrary to sun sign approach of astrology.
