welcome
to today's interview on decentralized tv i'm mike adams the founder of brighttown.com and this is the uncensored free speech network that carries decentralized tv and of course my co-host with every show is the amazing todd pittner with Welcome, Todd.
Great to have you on today.
It's great being here.
Cannot wait for this guest.
I think everybody is going to really, really enjoy this.
We're going to break some spells today.
Oh man, that is, I love breaking spells.
You know, some people gave me the nickname, the Spellbreaker.
Nice.
Yeah, and today we have on a master of hypnosis and influence.
He's an author and he also helps people with hypnosis consulting.
His name is Peter McLaughlin.
Welcome to the show, Mr.
McLaughlin.
It's great to have you on today.
Thank you so much, Mike and Todd.
Appreciate it.
It's great to have you.
I got to say, Todd and I both really have anticipated and looked forward to this.
And let me just plug your website here real quick.
It is blueskyhypnosis.com.
And then also you have a book that's available on Amazon and other sites.
It's called Becoming the Customer.
Empathy, influence, and closing the sale.
So that's written for more sales or sales persuasion type of people.
But the premise of our show today here is that, as you well know, Peter, influence and persuasion, it inundates our lives, and it is engineered into the fabric of almost everything, from news and politics and science and marketing and everything else.
So Please give us a little introduction about yourself, a little bit of background, and we'll jump into some of those topics.
Yeah, happy to do so.
So I came to this decidedly unusual path a long time ago, about 17 or 18 years ago.
And it was the result of a simultaneous diagnosis, same day, of leukemia and Lyme disease.
It was when I was volunteering for a local fire department in Connecticut.
And the more that I studied how to solve this, because the hematologist-oncologist was saying, we don't know what causes it, we don't know how to cure it.
The more I was drawn into the effects that the mind can have over the body.
And even as I went further, how much effect the spirit has over the mind that has over the body.
So that's what drew me to this work in the first place.
And I've had a very sort of varied background.
As I mentioned, I was a volunteer fireman and EMT for about 14 or 15 years in two different states.
Even ended up using some of what I learned as a hypnotist in the field.
I was on Wall Street for a while.
I was working down there when 9-11 happened.
I heard about the second plane impact when I was at Grand Central getting ready to jump on a train going down to Wall Street.
And so I turned around and went back to Westchester County.
So I had a security guard company for a while.
So I've done a lot of different things.
Wow.
Okay, great.
And in this process then, as you said, you really began to learn about how the mind works, mind-body interaction, spirit-mind-body interaction.
And I would imagine that one of your conclusions in this is that our mind tends to create the reality that we experience.
150%, absolutely.
I mean, it controls, you know...
So science and medicine will pay homage to the mind-body connection, but that's about where it ends.
They'll say, yeah, the mind and body are connected, but they won't really tell you what to do to lower your blood pressure with your mind, to do other things that you can do with your mind as well.
And that's not to diminish some of the things that they do, and it's not to diminish things like diet and exercise, but the mind plays a huge role in our health and in our well-being and how we're governed.
It reminds me from The Matrix, you know, it says, your mind makes it real.
If you believe something has happened to you, your mind makes it real.
Well, Todd, I've got to thank you also for recommending our guest today, too.
You always have great questions, Todd, for our guest.
Thank you.
I know.
What's your first question for our guest today?
Well, thank you, Mike.
Before the first question, I just want to set the table for the viewers.
The reason why you're on, Peter, and we haven't had this conversation yet, but just to set the table, I went into a BJ's Wholesale, which is like a Costco, except I had a three-count lawsuit against Costco because...
I wouldn't wear a mask, so I don't frequent Costco, but I like BJ's Wholesale.
And I went in there.
Gosh, Mike, it's been about a month ago.
And I pull up.
It's a beautiful morning.
And I get out, and there's this man who is...
I call him, you know, the poster child of delusion.
He was an M95 masked rubber glove wearing coronavirus bubble boy is all I can say.
And he was, I mean, I was observing him and he looked like, you know, he's a tall, handsome, athletic dude, right?
Yeah.
And I just kind of shook my head and thinking in my mind, like, wow, you are.
You're still under the spell?
And so I go shopping, and then I end up behind him as he's checking out.
And he's literally, before he scans anything, he's wiping everything down.
And, I mean, literally looks like he is so living in fear of the boogie virus that it is living on anything and everything.
And in my mind at that point in time, my heart went out to him.
And I'm like, I need to confront him.
And not in a negative way.
But I need to go up and just say, bruh.
That seems like a strongly reinforced reality he's living in.
That's going to be a hard shell.
Yeah, that would be a hard shell.
Yeah, but I didn't do anything, but it really, really weighed on me.
To the extent that that afternoon, which was a Saturday, I called Mike.
And I don't call Mike often.
But I called Mike and I just said, I want to be able to brainstorm a little bit with you.
What do you think about the notion of us helping people break their spell?
And I explained what happened.
And I'm like, but what I couldn't do is go confront him because automatically his defenses are going to go up.
He's going to think I'm an asymptomatic silent assassin, let's face it.
So we brainstormed a bit, and I thought, well, maybe we could do a show on this and have a website that Mike said, maybe we could call it covidcurious.com or whatever.
But my thought was it would be interesting at that point in time if I had a business card in my pocket that I just walked up to him and I said, sir, I can tell you're concerned about your health.
And I just wanted to give you this.
Now, I know it kind of breaks down because Bubble Boy's not going to want to touch, you know, the card.
Spray the card first, yeah.
Yeah, we'll spray the card first.
But the idea is to give him something that's benign, right?
That just has a website on it or something that just says, hey, I see you're concerned about your health.
And I think you may really appreciate the content on this site.
Hand it to him.
So that then he goes, and he doesn't know what it is, but he goes, and in the comfort of his own home, he can go there, and if it was artfully done, my question was, is there anything that you could present, we could present, to help somebody break that spell?
Because he is...
Obviously under the spell.
And that is where all of a sudden you came into my life from Cory Indralad.
He sent me a link that you and he did something together, and I learned that you were a hypnotherapist.
And I thought, boom, there is the man to be able to talk to about people who hold on to these delusions and are under these strong spells.
So that's the tee up.
It seems to me, and again, this guy looked very intelligent, and it seems to me that many of today's delusions prey not just on dim minds, but on bright ones.
Because many smart people that I know...
Definitely believe in stupid things, such as almost anything presented by the mainstream media.
So, Peter, I'm interested in your perspective on what causes delusion and why do many seemingly smart people adopt false beliefs?
It has to be a hypnotic spell, right, Peter?
I believe it is, yeah.
I mean, it's persuading people.
To believe something that they otherwise would not believe.
And the way that Corey and I connected was that I did a talk for a small group outside of Tampa, Florida in Tarpon Springs.
And he filmed that, and I guess that's how this got to you folks.
But one of the things that I made clear to this audience when I was first starting to talk to them was the first five principles of hypnosis, of persuasion, how to get something into the subconscious mind.
Because that's where everything lives.
That's the real game is the subconscious mind.
That's where your emotions are and that's where your beliefs are.
And a belief is simply an emotionalized idea.
So if you have an emotion and you have an idea and they get married, now you have a belief.
And a belief doesn't have to be true.
It doesn't have to be false.
And I feel like you know you've tripped over someone else's belief when they start arguing with you vehemently.
It doesn't necessarily make sense to start screaming about a political issue, for example.
But if you've tripped over a belief, I think that's, frankly, what motivates political talk radio to a degree.
These fused, polarized, opposing positions.
Now, there's five things I would like to mention.
One of them, the first one, is repetition.
So if you want to learn something...
You just repeat it over and over and over again, and you drive it from kind of a conscious awareness into a conscious competence into an unconscious competence by repeating it over and over again.
And our entire educational system is based upon this one principle.
The second thing would be emotion.
When a person is in a state of heightened emotion, their subconscious mind becomes opened.
So there's this mechanism, a gatekeeper called a critical factor or a critical faculty.
It prevents information from the outside getting into the subconscious unless certain conditions are met.
So repetition is one of the ways of battering down that door.
The other one is if you're in a state of high emotion, that door is wide open.
The next one would be authority.
So if a friend of yours tells you you have a tail, you're probably not going to look around to check and see if he's right.
But if a doctor tells you, look, you know, Todd, you got a tail dragging around behind you, you might actually look behind you because he's a doctor.
He's an authority.
The next one would be the effects of your peer group.
So this is how advertising works.
You know, four out of five doctors choose this.
More Americans choose this than any other kind.
And part of the reason for this is because we are herd animals.
We're more like dogs than we are like cats.
So we're heavily influenced by the effect of our peer group.
And then the last one of these first five, I know there are other ones, is hypnosis.
And if you look at major incidents like COVID-19 or you look at 9-11, all five of these were present immediately and remain.
Absolutely.
Right?
So people are actually entering a hypnotic state immediately.
Well, go back to March of 2020 and just think about everybody being around the TV that's just absorbing this and the repetition and the ultimate source of authority, Fauci, right?
Exactly.
And all of these appeals to authority, right?
Yep.
Over and over and over again.
And then you have this biased media.
Now enter in the nut jobs, the whack jobs.
And I submit to you, and I'm interested in your perspective, I believe the greatest weapon against the pursuit of honest, objective truth was the CIA's invention of the smear conspiracy theorists.
Would you agree with that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Along with weaponizing very famous and influential studies that have been done on the mine.
For example, the the ash conformity experiment.
And for those who are maybe not familiar with this, they had a room and they filled it with, say, nine participants.
And the trick was that eight of them were Confederates.
Eight of them were paid by the researchers to be essentially actors.
So they only had one real participant.
And they put lines up, simple vertical lines on a board.
And one line was obviously far shorter than all the other ones, for example.
And they would say, which line is the shortest line?
Let's say it's number six.
And the first three or four or five Confederates all say some other number, like it's number two.
And by the time it gets to the actual participant, 75% of them said it's number two, even though it was obviously not the shortest line, because we are herd animals.
We have a need to conform.
It's the same thing that I remember seeing on Candid Camera when I was a kid, where they would have someone get onto an elevator car, and all the people on the elevator were faced the opposite direction from the door.
And the person gets on the car, and they stand around, and they look, and then they turn around and face the back of the elevator car.
Peter, let me interject something here.
This social conformity is, I think, the most powerful of the factors that you mentioned because we now live in an age of very strong social connections because of social media.
So before the internet, even, or before Facebook and Twitter, your social circle didn't have as much influence over you, I would say, because it wasn't reinforced so globally.
You could have a belief in your private life that wasn't known by your employer.
Or known by your pastor or known by other friends.
Today, now because of social media, everything is interconnected.
You say one thing online that is considered unpopular against any protected group or any protected belief, pick your topic, then suddenly...
You are attacked or, quote, exposed by this entire network of people, and that forces more social conformity today than at any time in human history.
And I've come to realize that I think most people would rather die than to be ostracized from their peer group.
Go ahead.
Well, I would say that has certainly always been true, and I would agree with you insofar as now you can engineer reality.
So one of the words that I used in this presentation I gave in Florida is the word Bolshevik, which in Russian means one of the majority.
So they understood that if they presented themselves as the majority, which they were not, that it would be persuasive on everyone else because most people want to feel like they fit in.
You know, that's why people, you know, in high schools, you don't have to tell kids how to dress.
They'll dress the same way.
Why?
Because they want to fit in.
How do you feel if you go to a black tie event and you're wearing a t-shirt and jeans?
You know, that is extremely comfortable.
Kind of like the word Bolshevik.
Yeah.
The technology that we have now can engineer a fake reality.
We can make it look like people are dropping dead in the streets of Wuhan.
We can make it look like everybody's wearing masks, when that's not necessarily true.
We can make it seem like the only people that disagree are lunatics, and they're dangerous to everyone else.
Whereas I think before, in your own community, when everything was face-to-face, that was much harder to engineer.
That's right.
You know, you can do it.
Cults certainly do it.
Yes.
But I think now we have all of this technology that is being harnessed to create a false illusion of what is true.
Censorship is a key part of this also, because censorship, of course, blocks people from accessing any dissenting or counter views.
And because of this very heavy-handed censorship, Combined with the phenomena that you just mentioned, it's very easy now for people to slip into what I would call modern-day cults.
There are all kinds of cults out there.
I would say there's a climate cult, there's a transgenderism cult, you know, there's a, I don't know, there's a war cult, a pro-war cult, whatever.
I mean, endless names for different cults, but they all share the same common traits that people, like you said, they combine emotion and They create a belief.
It invades their subconscious mind, which then drives that belief.
And then people never audit their own beliefs.
They never go back and say, hey, why do I think that?
What was the original thing that caused me to believe that thing?
They never do that.
They don't self-audit.
They just spout out, like, this has always been true because that's my reality, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
And on the censorship point that you raised, back to the Ash conformity study.
So 75% of the participants, when everyone was a confederate except the one participant, you know, talking about the obviously smaller line, picking the wrong one because everyone else picked it, 75% compliance.
When one other person said, no, it's number six, that's the shortest line, that number went from 75% down to 10%.
That, my friend, tells you everything you need to know about the necessity from the controller's standpoint of censorship.
Yep.
They can't allow one voice to disagree.
That is fascinating.
You know, I came across the term fashionably irrational beliefs today when I was doing a little bit of research.
And let me read this.
Since we're a social species, it is intelligent for us to convince ourselves of irrational beliefs if holding those beliefs increases our status and well-being.
And I think it's called identity protective cognition.
Would you agree with that, Peter?
Completely.
150%.
And one of the ways that I simplify this for myself, back to that concept that humans are herd animals, is if you have a zebra and the zebra is injured, as a herd animal, where does it want to be for safety?
You know, if there are lions around and it's not injured, it wants to be in the center of the herd.
That's where safety is found.
And I think this is one of the reasons why, and studies have shown this, that if all of your friends are significantly overweight, you're going to be significantly overweight.
Because you have a need to fit in.
And it's all happening subconsciously.
And I want you to speak to the power to change also.
And let me share this.
I've never shared this publicly before.
Todd, you may not even know this.
But it was probably 20 years ago that I hired an NLP practitioner to consult with me to overcome what was at the time I had a terrible fear of public speaking.
Which nobody can believe hearing that now because it's just the most natural thing in the world.
But that's how hypnosis works.
So if you can consciously get assistance, which is what you do, Peter, you help people rewire their neurology.
Please speak to the power of that because you can literally reshape the way your mind thinks about things.
Absolutely.
So what is it specifically about hypnosis?
Do you want to know how we could apply that to helping people that we know that are deeply in this trance of COVID-19 and what the government is telling us?
Or do you want to know about hypnosis in relationship to something else?
I want to know about the profound nature of how it can be used for self-improvement.
So a person that knows they want to make a behavioral change.
And tell us perhaps some of the success stories that you've been involved with and how profound those changes have been.
Absolutely.
And I think what I'll do is I'll pick up where you left off because you said that at one point you had an intense fear of public speaking, which is fascinating because that's the number one fear, or at least it was 10 years ago in the United States.
The fear of death was number three.
And Gary Seinfeld had this joke, which is, that means that you'd rather be the guy in the casket than the one giving the eulogy.
Right.
So when I work with people, I'm working on two different levels.
One is root cause.
So if a person has a fear of speaking in public, it means something happened in the past that created this fear in the first place.
In other words, it lodged in the subconscious mind and it said, this is dangerous.
So with many clients with whom I've worked that have that same issue, it might have been that they were called up to the front of the room to solve a math problem in the third grade, and they weren't able to solve it.
The teacher admonished them, and the other kids started laughing at them, and it felt horrible.
And so the subconscious created this defense saying, it's dangerous to speak in front of people.
So when I work with people, I work on the level of essentially solving that problem in the subconscious mind, solving that old, I'm going to call it a trauma, even though it wasn't like somebody put a gun to their head.
You know, they were publicly humiliated.
So we want to neutralize that while at the same time coming in with hypnotic suggestions when the subconscious mind is open that says to the subconscious, it's safe for you to speak in public and you're really good at this.
And then we can do something which is from NLP. You mentioned neuro-linguistic programming, which is future pacing that.
Take the mind into the future, and here you're doing it in the future, and it's going really well.
I'm so glad you mentioned that, and thank you for your patience, Todd, because I really want to pursue this line of questioning here.
Because you just mentioned future pacing with NLP, a variety of NLP techniques.
What people, I hope, will understand from this interview today is that These techniques are being used against you constantly through advertising and media and so on.
But you can harness these techniques consciously with your own goal-oriented outcomes.
And why not?
If there's a way to program yourself to think differently, why move through the world just passively absorbing everybody else's scripts?
You know what I mean?
Yep.
That's exactly right.
I couldn't agree more.
I couldn't agree more.
Because ultimately, it's a power.
We have this gun control debate, and ultimately it's not the gun.
It's the person using it.
And what is their intention?
It's just power.
You can use electricity to take somebody's life with an electric chair, or you can use electricity to save someone's life.
It's not the tool that is the problem.
It's how it's wielded.
And unfortunately right now, because the 99.9% of the public gets zero instruction, On hypnosis, including psychologists, it's a tool that can be used by what I would call the dark forces to achieve their ends.
Well, I think part of it is because the idea of hypnosis, the way it's depicted in Hollywood movies, is a comedic comic book version of it.
And they almost try to mock it in order to say that this isn't a real thing.
But it is real.
It's happening every day.
Probably happening in that same show in some other way.
For example, we know that the CDC was given about a billion dollars in money in order to pay scriptwriters.
To incorporate pro-vaccine messages into movies and TV shows.
That's a form of hypnosis.
Without a doubt.
Just watching television or watching a movie causes you to enter a hypnotic state.
And we know this from people's vernacular.
People will say, I want to veg out in front of the TV set.
I want to zone out in front of the TV set.
And we probably know it from our own lives.
Your wife calls your name when you're watching a football game, and you don't answer the first time.
Or the second time.
And the third time, you're like, huh, what?
Sorry, what did you say?
I'm sorry.
I answer when she brings the chicken wings in.
Yeah, right.
Time for a beer.
That's right.
The beautiful thing from their perspective is that people think, oh, well, that works on other people, but it doesn't work on me.
They do think that.
People think they are not influenced by advertising, but the studies show they go out and they buy the things for which they were shown the advertising.
Right.
Why else would companies spend billions of dollars in advertising that didn't work?
And why would governments, like the British government, set up the nudge unit?
They called it the nudge unit, which was psychological warfare operations that was designed to be deployed against their people.
To get them to take the COVID vaccine and to believe everything that we're being told.
Yes, yes.
Well, and I remember talking to people about, I would ask a lot of people, why are you taking the vaccine?
And their answers were very informative.
Number one, they would say, I just believe in the science.
And I know from my studying of NLP and language, when they use the word just, that means you've hit the Now, a very deeply embedded subconscious belief right there, and it means that they will reject any evidence when they say just, right?
Have you seen that too?
The one that I'm really familiar with is the word because.
So studies have shown that, you know, like if you have a line of students in front of a copy machine, the study probably goes back 20 years, and someone wants to cut in front of the line and says, do you mind if I cut in front of the line?
If they use the word because, the compliance goes through the roof.
Right, right.
Because it implies that there's a rational reason behind it.
Like they say, can I cut in line because my copier doesn't work?
Because I need to make a copy.
Because I need to make a copy.
Yeah, you don't even have to give a legitimate reason.
That's what they said.
I need to cut in front of the line because I need to make a copy.
Right, right.
Not because I'm in a hurry because my copier doesn't work.
Anything.
When they added the word because, the compliance went through the roof.
That's amazing.
And the other reason, common reason that I heard from people about why they took vaccines, they would say things like, well, I didn't take it for myself.
I took it so I could go to the nursing home or I could go visit my child.
I had to take an airplane, fly to a city, whatever.
I took the vaccine for someone else.
Like, what?
Let's think about the source of that, right?
Obviously, it's the controllers, the media, and I submit that those controlling the media and the manufactured narratives, they know, they just know that people aren't looking to correct their delusions, but to justify them.
Isn't that right, Peter?
Yeah, I mean, that's how the conscious mind works.
So your mind, every decision the three of us have ever made in our lives, whether it's a big decision or a small one, was an emotional decision.
Later, we went to the conscious mind to justify.
So the conscious mind wants to hang its hat on some kind of legitimate reason why you're making this choice when 10 minutes ago you said you weren't going to eat any more donuts.
Like a lawyer, it'll justify whatever you emotionally arrive at.
So when you ask people why they took the vaccine, they're going to be able to come up with something their conscious mind has already hung its hat on, even if it doesn't make sense entirely.
But doesn't that go back?
I keep going back to 2020 and the on-purpose, with-intent onslaught of the media narrative, the manufactured media narrative that's out there.
And it's interesting.
I think...
I don't know, 90%, if not more, 90% became hypnotized during that time.
And I'm equally as interested as in those who were resistant to the hypnotic spell.
And I'm wondering if you could educate us a little bit.
Are there any specific traits that identify people who you've found as a hypnotherapist that just aren't open to hypnosis?
Peter?
In my opinion, everyone can go into hypnosis.
It's more of a...
Are they resisting you on purpose?
Because that could prevent it.
Or do they not know what it is?
Do they think it's a catatonic sleep-like state where you do whatever you're told and you don't remember anything?
If those two factors aren't present, I've never had a problem bringing somebody into hypnosis, ever.
But they're also cooperating with me.
I think there are a couple factors here to answer your question a little deeper, Todd.
And one is, David Icke has used this term for years, and I love it, which is followers.
You know, the educational system, the higher you go in the educational system, it just means you're a better follower, you're a better repeater.
You're rewarded for repeating what you read in the book and what you heard in the exam.
And if you don't do that, you don't get a good grade.
So the people who are getting to those higher levels, up into the PhD level, are really good repeaters.
And they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo because that's what gives them their status and their money and their lifestyle and everything else.
And unfortunately, they're quote-unquote authority, right?
They become the ultimate sources of authority on specific subject because I follow the science, right?
They are the head of science.
Even though half of them are plagiarists, by the way.
We don't have to test them with that authority.
Only half?
They didn't just follow the science.
They copied and pasted the science from somebody else's science, and then they became the head of Harvard University or whatever.
The other part of this, to Todd's question, I think, was what about the people that didn't buy into this?
What about the people that saw through this quickly?
And I think part of that is you've been through this before.
Right.
I mean, I can say for me that living and working, you know, I worked in New York City, and I lived just outside of the city when 9-11 happened.
And I was 30-something years, 36 years old at the time, I think, and I tried to join the Army.
Wow.
I was sobbing in a church, and there was a guy sitting next to me on the Metro North train coming back north, and it took like four hours to get out of New York City.
And he said, oh, this group of people did this.
And I thought, should I punch this guy?
Well, he might have been right.
I was deep in it.
And I think we call this being red-pilled now.
So if you're able to see through something, if you understand that you can be hypnotized just watching TV, if you understand that the countdown that happens before a news show, 10-9-8-7-6, is what a hypnotist uses, it's not effective on you anymore.
Right.
That's a good point.
Because...
through 9/11, you know, and recognizing that, hmm, Building 7 looked a lot like a controlled demolition to me, no plane hit it.
You know, there are those things to where once you start engaging critical thought, you develop a different muscle, right?
So, I was one of those guys, I'm not going to say I'm proud to say it, but I called bullsh** on it right away.
I'm like, you know what?
They're rebranding the flu as COVID. Period.
End of story.
There is no boogie virus out there.
I mean, I don't even personally believe you can catch a virus, but that's just me.
So, but I got to a point to where instead of trying to convince others because I was really bad at it.
I decided I instead want to go seek others who are kind of like me and then just start trying to, you know, be part of a community again.
I guess you could call it truthers or whatever, but, you know, I find it almost impossible to argue anyone into the truth or critical thought, even really smart people.
It's a key word, is argue them into the thought.
Or persuade.
When you argue with somebody, they just put up their defenses.
Bam.
But I'll say persuade.
Let me take argue back.
Convince, persuade, try to be able to lead them to truth.
The presumption is that people are rational beings, and they are not.
And that's what Peter is really bringing to us today, this understanding.
Right.
I'm sorry to interrupt your question, Todd.
It's a valid question, but it leads me to a very important point here.
You know how I'm running a large AI, large language model R&D project, and I'm struck by how much electricity is necessary to do all the computations in order to build the language model.
And I'm struck by how little energy the human brain uses.
It's something like 60 watts equivalent of bioenergy.
Something like 60 watts.
It's a very small amount of energy.
Maybe it's 100 watts.
I don't know.
But it's very tiny.
It's like a light bulb, okay?
But how can the human brain achieve so much in terms of general purpose computation using so little power?
And the answer...
Is that it takes shortcuts, and the shortcuts are exactly what Peter's talking about, that the human brain doesn't actually typically think rationally.
It simply takes shortcuts, which are, quote, beliefs, and the beliefs are formed through mechanisms that people are unaware of.
So, Peter, what are your thoughts on that, of how efficient the human brain is, which was a survival mechanism during times when food was not abundant?
But because of these shortcuts, it's kind of crippling our ability to be rational at this point.
Yeah, I would agree 100%.
And that's why it's hackable.
And this is what I mentioned before about how magicians work.
They know how our minds work and they hack into that system to make it look like they're doing magic when it's really just sleight of hand and we're looking over here while something's happening over there.
And I would suspect that that's part of what's going on in our world and how we're being misled and persuaded.
And I would then go back to technology and say, never in history.
Have people in power had this kind of control over individuals?
You know, Hitler talked about the radio And how powerful the radio was in terms of persuading people.
Well, we've gone orders of magnitude beyond that, haven't we?
Yes.
And the other thing I wanted to mention, too, about what can we do with other people?
Because I think this is a great point.
And I'm not trying to say I have all the answers.
But we do know about the Ash experiment, that if a second person is introduced into this, suddenly the compliance goes from 75% all the way down to 10%.
We know from sales, for example, like your example of walking up to that guy at BJ's and saying, here's a card.
Well, that's probably the equivalent of a cold call to you at home by a telemarketer that you don't know.
I guess they do that because if you get the numbers high enough, maybe you're going to have some success.
But everyone in sales knows that in order to be successful in sales, you have to have rapport.
And rapport is established at the subconscious level.
NLP teaches how to establish rapport with another person through mirror pacing and leading.
It's amazing how it works.
And so I think we have to understand what's going on with these people by returning back to the principles of hypnosis and persuasion, repetition, emotion, peer group, authority figures, right?
And being in a hypnotic state.
And returning to that ASH experiment and understanding we may not be able to persuade them intellectually, rationally.
This may happen in a different way.
And it may happen by them seeing, oh, it's not just Peter who's a lunatic.
Now it's his wife who's also a lunatic.
Oh, and his kids are a lunatic, too.
And the neighbor's a lunatic.
You know, and Uncle Jimmy's a lunatic.
And at some point, that herd thing begins to work in our favor.
But I think we don't want to push them to the point where they start fighting us because now we've lost rapport.
And once you've lost rapport, you might as well be a telemarketer or worse.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And one of the most powerful things that I've discovered over the years is to show them that the authority that they believe in is caught lying to them.
And that shatters the belief in authority.
As you mentioned earlier, Peter, belief in authority is one of the most powerful persuasion techniques.
And that's why doctors get on TV and wear the white coats.
And that's why they wear the stethoscope.
It's a costume of authority.
That's why war generals have all these medals that they never earned.
They were never on any battlefield.
All these Pentagon officials, they wouldn't know how to dig a trench if their life depended on it.
But they have all these medals.
Give me a break, right?
It's all just their costumes.
But it works for people.
And if you can help shatter that illusion of false authority, like showing them, you know.
No, here's a great example.
Okay.
We've been talking about 9-11 today.
And I ask people, you remember 9-11?
They say, yeah.
I say, well, do you remember that something hit the Pentagon?
And they say, yeah.
It was a commercial jet that slammed into the Pentagon.
I said, okay, great.
Now, see if you can find any photos, any photos whatsoever of the wreckage of a commercial jet on the lawn of the Pentagon.
Because don't you agree that if a jet crashing into something, you would see...
Maybe like landing gear, seats, luggage, plane parts.
And they say, okay, I'll go search.
And they come back a day later.
I couldn't find anything.
There's no photos of jet wreckage.
And I'm like, yeah, because it wasn't a commercial jet that hit the Pentagon.
It was a missile.
And then they go...
Whoa!
And it's like, all of a sudden, they realize, I've done this with many people, they realize, but they went through a process of their own discovery.
Like, I can't find any photos of jet wreckage.
Like, yeah, your reality is getting shattered.
And that actually works for some people.
It can definitely work for some people.
I think the other thing, too, is when I look at what's happening in the whole world right now, And I look at the United States in particular and I say, okay, you know, the Defense Department's just creating wars.
And the Justice Department is pursuing injustice.
And medicine is producing disease and worse.
And the Treasury Department and the economics of this country are destroying our economy.
Yes.
That that I think for us first to be an example of of leading a kind of clean life.
A healthy life.
Because the proof ultimately is in the pudding, right?
By your fruits, you will know them.
At some point, that you haven't dropped dead as an anti-vaxxer.
That your marriage is still intact.
That your finances are good.
That you're taking care of your body.
That you look like you're a happy person.
That your house is clean and your lawn is mowed.
I think it starts over time to have an influence on the people around us.
And I feel like that's where this all starts, is it calls upon us to get our own house in order.
Yes.
Absolutely.
And to realize that this is an emotional issue for this other person, that they've held on to it now.
And there is that saying that it's easier to swindle a man than it is to convince him he's been swindled.
Right?
So we can't necessarily do it all at once.
And we can't necessarily rescue everyone.
But we can be an example in our own lives and we can use some of the principles that I've talked about today in order to demonstrate Because our power as a model, I think, is often underlooked.
But the defenses that people put up to this, though, are extraordinary.
I know, Todd, you probably had conversations with people who took a bunch of jabs, five or six jabs, and they've been sick ever since, just in and out of hospitals, sick, sick, sick.
And you say, have you noticed how sick you've been since taking all the jabs?
And, you know, that's a hypnotic question by itself.
It's just, are you noticing this?
And then they say, well, I would have been sicker if I hadn't taken the jab.
So there's that.
It's like a person dying.
You're like, hey, you're dying after taking the jab.
Well, I would have been dead already if not.
I like the one-liner.
You know, I'm not saying it was the jab.
But it was the jam.
But the human mind can justify extraordinary things.
Because again, it's going back to protecting.
That's the job of your subconscious mind is to protect you.
And it has no constant time.
But this is what ticks me off about the mainstream media and the people behind this con, is that they know all of this.
So when they induce that fear and they plant the seeds that you are an asymptomatic silent assassin and that you are going to kill your grandmother or the nice neighbor across the street unless you monk up in your home, you know, and isolate.
The evil that has been behind this is what keeps me up at night.
It's like, who the heck are they, and why do they hate us so much?
I mean, Mike, you've forgotten more about that question than I'll ever know, but that's what your life is all about, uncovering that.
It's a fifth-generation warfare, and I'm sure you've talked about this on your program.
That's what we're facing, and we've been trained to expect that war looks like World War II, with tanks and missiles and planes and bombs and bullets.
Armies moving, you know, across continents and everything else.
Not a war of the mind.
That's what's happening, is that the battlefield is the mind, and people are not expecting this.
And to that.
And to that theater.
When the Germans launched a blitzkrieg, you know, a more powerful army on paper, the French and the Maginot Line, wilted and was destroyed within weeks because they brought a new way of warfare that the French were not expecting.
Well, that's what we've been under.
And like human beings that have come before us, our forebears, we will figure this out and we will defeat it.
And so specific to that and that solution, even the people who are really, really smart, who are still wearing the masks that are in my life, I... I really love to approach them and talk kind of in a self-effacing way, saying, yeah, you know, I, personally, I have figured out how to solve the world's problems.
Do you want to know?
I mean, literally, 95% of the world's problems have gone away, you know?
And I get them to say yes.
And I'm like, it's really simple.
Turn off your TV. That's it.
If you turn off your TV, all the problems go away.
I promise you.
And that's true, guys.
It's like if we live in our operating reality, our physical, outside, go for a walk, go in your backyard, walk your dog, hug your daughter, hug your wife.
I mean, all of these issues that we fear, I mean, the TV is nothing but fear inducement.
So if we shut that off, everybody should just shut off their damn TVs, period, end of story, except for the NCAA basketball tournament.
But that's a good point.
White men are really enthralled by sports.
They get completely hypnotized by sports.
And I'm not a sports fan.
I don't have to.
Is this here, Mike?
Yeah.
What is that?
I'm a knuckle dragger.
You're a knuckle dragger?
Those are my knuckles.
But sports taps into the tribalism and the idea that we are winning even though you're not even playing.
It's crazy.
The language around sports.
It's all hypnotic language.
And it's all a distraction.
What would you say, Peter?
I would agree with you entirely that it's a distraction and that it vents off emotions in what the controllers would say is a productive direction.
The idea that a 30-year-old man would buy another man's jersey with another man's name on it and sit next to his girlfriend or wife where he paid a few hundred bucks to sit at this game, that blows my mind.
Absolutely.
And that would be, to me, Right.
To me, it's very, very similar.
Absolutely.
Or people that are entirely depressed on Monday morning because, quote, unquote, their team lost or they're overjoyed because their team won.
That person's life hasn't changed one bit.
It's all a perception because they bought into this narrative.
They bought into this story.
But isn't it interesting, too, that the teams then have tribal colors, right?
So they have tribal patterns.
I mean, this is no different than basic, you know, like Amazonian tribal warfare just played out on a hundred-yard field with some rules that are occasionally enforced and sometimes not.
But this brings me to my question of focus.
So, as you know, Peter, hypnosis requires attention.
And, in fact, the choosing of or the direction of the public's attention is itself a form of hypnosis.
Like, right now, the West is losing the war in Ukraine.
And we're seeing early signs that we're going to be told to forget about Ukraine.
This is almost a hypnotic suggestion that's coming, like, what Ukraine?
What are you talking about?
Now we're focused on the Middle East instead, right?
Ukraine, nothing happened there.
But at first, it was like, we all have to focus, focus, focus.
Everybody's flag on Facebook is a Ukraine flag, and oh, we have to do this and that.
And next, it's like, oh, forget about it.
Never happened.
It's crazy, but it's all about manipulating attention.
Go ahead.
Absolutely, it is.
I wanted to come back to the thing about people.
What do you do with people that are on the other side?
And I think questions are very powerful because it actually puts you in the role of like a director or an artist painting on the canvas of someone else's mind.
And certain kinds of questions that you already know the answers to could be, do you trust politicians?
In my personal experience, when I asked that question, nobody says yes.
Right.
It comes in with the tribal stuff.
When you start saying this candidate is better than that one, then people become defensive.
But I think part of the way in is asking questions like, do you trust politicians?
Do you think they always tell you the truth?
Do they think that they have your best interests at heart?
How would you know if you were being lied to by the authorities?
Ooh, that's a great question.
Yeah.
And you don't even have to say, do you know that this statistic is this and this fact is that and that the circular and the shots have nothing on them.
You don't have to go there.
You could even say, do you know why the circular and the shot has no writing on it?
I'm so confused by that.
Do you know why?
Knowing you're planting a seed, which is a hypnotic suggestion in their mind, and that their mind has to go to that question in order to answer it.
Yes, yes.
This is hypnotic language.
You can use, like, not and don't.
You know, don't think about a giraffe.
To make sense of the sentence, you have to go to a giraffe in your mind.
And you can use this kind of language to avoid resistance.
You don't have to go into hypnosis right now.
And you certainly don't have to go deeper with each breath you breathe while you listen to my voice speaking to you.
It doesn't even want to feel comfortable to you.
Just sitting there with your eyes closed is enough sometimes to feel the way you want to feel.
That's hypnotic language.
And a lot of it I used right there, built around the negative, what I call a negative clause.
Yeah.
That's fascinating.
I love this.
Is an LP with framing.
What did you say?
No.
No, but that's a great example of how you worked it right in there.
I want to bring our attention deliberately to the fact that in the early days of the vaccine being rolled out, they used the scarcity principle to create additional demand for the vaccine.
So you and I were talking about Robert Cialdini's book, Influence, kind of a classic.
And one of the principles that I remember from that book is the principle of increasing scarcity.
I think they had a study where there's like a cookie jar.
And it was like, the subject was asking, do you want a cookie?
And there's like two cookies in the jar.
And then somebody comes in the room, takes a cookie and leaves, and now there's only one.
And then the subject will always want that last cookie, right?
So they did the same thing with vaccines in the early days, right?
They said, oh, there's not much supply.
And, you know, you're going to be lucky to get a vaccine.
It was classic manipulation right there.
Your comments, Peter.
Yeah, 150%.
I remember saying at the beginning of all of this, and I was the only one in my family of five in the beginning that could see through this.
And I think that's because I went through around 9-11.
And I was considered the lunatic around all of this.
And I remember talking about how I was just blown away in a state of awe.
By this onslaught against our minds.
It was like a master class in hypnotic persuasion, neuro-linguistic programming.
They were pulling out all the stops.
And yes, scarcity was one of them, along with authority, repetition, the effect of the peer group, emotions, and so on.
And even now, Travis Kelsey of the Kansas City Chiefs, His salary, I'll look this up, with his other endorsements, is something like $14 million.
And Pfizer, I believe, gave him something like $19 million or $20 million.
And the Cialdini principle that that would relate to is liking linking.
So when someone does an endorsement, you already have feelings about this person, and they're basically transferring it to the other person.
Like if I were an insurance salesman, you know, and Todd, or I called you, Mike, and I said, Todd told me that I should call you.
Todd and I are really good friends.
We play golf all the time.
We go fishing.
And he said, you might want to talk about insurance or something else.
You'd be way more receptive to me than if I just came out of the blue.
Right.
That's a manufactured endorsed entree.
Yeah.
And here's something else.
Like I'm really good at recognizing voices alone from audio only, but most people don't.
And one of the most authoritative voices that's used to influence people is Morgan Freeman.
So Morgan Freeman is hired constantly to voice commercials in which he never appears.
And why is that?
Because if you think of it, there's multiple layers of hypnosis, but Morgan Freeman brilliantly accepts roles in movies where he is the moral hero.
Yeah.
Okay.
And same, same thing with Tom Hanks, by the way, despite all, all, all the rumors of what Tom Hanks might be doing in his own private life, but his character, he always plays a moral character.
And because morality is then linked to the Morgan Freeman voice, which admittedly, even just physically, it's a very pleasant voice to listen to.
I like his voice as well.
Oh, yeah.
But he can then promote something, promote a product, potentially a vaccine or a pharmaceutical, whatever.
I don't know if he takes those kinds of endorsements, but people won't even recognize that that's Morgan Freeman's voice, but they will feel a connection.
Here it comes, the emotions and the belief.
Oh, that must be good.
I don't know why, but it must be good.
There's something called, you may have come across this with your experience with NLP, there's something called an NLP anchor.
Where you can anchor an emotional feeling to something else.
Absolutely.
So, for example, if I were giving a speech in front of 500 people, I could ask people about their last vacation.
What did it feel like when you're on vacation?
Close your eyes and just go into your body and just tell me what it feels like when you're on that vacation.
Now open your eyes.
And if I'm standing downstage center, and maybe I adjust my tie, what I'm doing is I'm setting an anchor to that feeling of being on vacation.
15, 20, 30 minutes later, whatever it is in the speech, I can walk back down center, I can adjust my tie, and I will fire the anchor where people will feel this feeling as I am asking them, I'm giving them the ask, whatever that is.
So Morgan Freeman's voice It has been anchored through repetition multiple times to these characters, like you correctly point out, Mike, to characters of moral authority, I believe, including God.
He might have played God.
He did play God.
Yes, exactly.
There's your NLP anchor that then gets transferred onto something else that he might be representing.
Okay, I apologize.
I did not realize how much time has slipped by.
Are you still doing okay on time, Peter?
Yeah, yeah, I'm doing fine.
Okay, let's go five more minutes here.
I mean, that's a great sign of a very engaging, fascinating conversation when we lose track of time.
Mike, I was just going to say, not even prompted, I was going to say, Mike, I think this is going to be my favorite interview we've done ever.
Oh, wow.
That's really nice.
I love the subject matter, and you're going to places that we're learning things.
I just love it.
Absolutely.
In fact, let me use this opportunity to go ahead and plug our guest's website.
blueskyhypnosis.com, and Peter can help you with rewiring the way your own neurology works.
And as you can tell from our conversation, he's very adept at hypnotic language patterns, NLP, reframing, anchoring, all these things that can be very helpful to you, things that help me substantially.
I wouldn't be the person I am today without this technology, by the way.
And it is a kind of technology.
And why let the world control the way your brain is wired when you can, with the help of experts like Peter, you can deliberately get the outcomes you want for the way that you think.
You might be neurologically really hamstrung right now in a way that you don't realize.
Why not just get rid of that?
You can make a choice and there's a way to do it and this is the technology.
So, Peter, can you just describe...
What do you do with new clients?
I mean, they book an appointment and then what happens?
The first thing that we're doing is we're talking about why they're here.
What do they want to work on?
And it seems like I focus more on things like people who are having a terrible time in relationships, for example, or they're dealing with significant grief.
Or they have a tremendous amount of anxiety that's going on, on the one hand.
And then on the other hand, I've worked with athletes.
So I've worked with a couple of NFL players.
I've worked with some college players on enhancing their performance.
And the thing that I'm always looking for that I mentioned at the outset of the conversation is, what is the root cause of what this person is dealing with?
Because I know that the subconscious mind, its job is to protect you, and it has no concept of time.
And if you put those two factors together, you've perfectly described post-traumatic stress disorder.
You know, the man is no longer in the army.
Fallujah was 15 years ago or whatever it was.
And they're 6,000 miles away, 5,000 miles away from what happened.
And yet they get triggered.
And when they get triggered, their neurology, through their control of the subconscious mind, tells them you're under immediate threat right now.
So this happens to people when they want to get on an airplane and they're scared.
Like you were talking about, Mike, public speaking is another one.
It could come up in groups.
Social anxiety is a thing now.
You know, it could be a person that's just had failed relationship after failed relationship.
So I'm helping these people get to the root cause of what created this dynamic in the first place, neutralizing that, and then adding in the hypnotic suggestions to produce the results that they want.
Because everything is coming from our mind.
Our physical health, our relationships, our finances, everything is coming from there.
Do you use video tech like Zoom or is it all audio or how do you normally do this?
It's delivered this way.
I use Zoom.
I also have an office where I live in Florida, but what I have found, especially through my YouTube channel where I've got 120,000 subscribers at this point, is that I get people coming from all over the world, and I'm able to work with them via Zoom.
And this is one of the, you know, the symbol of the yin and the yang, the dark and the light that are conjoined together means to me that in the best of times, there's something horrible happening.
And in a political state, that's probably things like corruption and people's morals starting to deteriorate.
And in horrible times, the darkness, there's a really good thing that's happening, too.
I said that I was in New York City on and after 9-11, and New Yorkers, people that just walk past each other, will fight each other over a cab or a square meter of sidewalk space.
We're hugging each other, embracing each other.
This is something else to keep in mind as well, is that both of these are at play.
So I want to help people to neutralize the thing that created this in the first place, that underlying fear, and then program in, through hypnotic suggestions, the outcome that they want.
Can I describe a parallel to this?
Again, going back to the AI language model training that we're doing.
It's really appropriate here, and a lot of people are very excited about these chatbots, language models.
And it has everything to do with what you just described, Peter, so this is not a tangent, but if you take a base model of an LLM and then you retrain it through a process called fine-tuning, you can get it to change the way it speaks, to change the answers, to change its knowledge.
And we're doing this right now.
For example, the language model that we started with, If you ask it, why are the globalists trying to achieve human depopulation?
It would answer you and say, well, depopulation is a conspiracy that's not backed by any evidence, it's not happening.
But you ask our model that question, like, in what ways are the globalists trying to achieve depopulation?
It will list them out.
Number one, vaccines.
Number two, geoengineering.
So we've reprogrammed it.
Well, it works with our minds, too.
You can fine-tune, train your own mind consciously with an end goal in mind.
You can literally say to yourself, okay, I would like to become a person that's shaped more in the following way.
I'd like to be a person that's more confident, public speaking.
I would like to be a person that...
Listens better with other people.
I would like to be a person that has better self-discipline in the goals that I wish to achieve.
I'd like to be the kind of person that fill in the blank, right?
And you can reprogram yourself with the help of professionals like you, Peter.
Yeah, 100%.
And the other thing that I'd like to add, too, to this is MKUltra.
So Trauma-Based Mind Control.
That we know that that's one of the ways of controlling people.
And so I say, why not heal your own trauma?
The trauma that's driving you to have an anger and rage problem.
The trauma that's causing you to self-medicate with alcohol.
The trauma that doesn't let you be in a stable and loving relationship.
The trauma in your past that's keeping you on the same track, the same rut, that doesn't allow you to live the life that you want to lead.
So I really think it's both sides.
It's cleaning up what is the root cause and then putting the seeds on the fertile soil.
You are 100% correct, and thank you for your patience, Todd, but I've got two more things to add to this, to what Peter just said.
Years ago, I was part of a training process in energetic healing and came to find out that a shockingly high percentage, I think something like 70-75% of the other students had experienced sexual trauma.
Sexual trauma.
I'd like to know if you're seeing this, Peter, just across the board, but people were sexually traumatized as children.
People were raped.
It is more widespread.
I was shocked to find out how widespread it was.
Is that something that you've seen, Peter?
Yeah, without a doubt.
It's staggering.
Staggering.
Absolutely.
I know that the work that I do, the people that come to me are a very self-selected group.
But having said that, The women and some men that have had this is over the top.
It's so heartbreaking.
I just worked with somebody yesterday.
That went through this as a kid.
And then she became promiscuous when she was in her early 20s, which is related back to this.
Yes.
And it's related to the shame and the guilt that came out of this, even though she was a victim.
Exactly.
Shame and guilt and then thinking, well, I guess this is what I deserve on a subconscious level.
Yep.
Right.
And that then governs the behavior through the life that produces results that are consistent with the trauma.
That's right.
And the thing is that now, those of you listening, if that's something that has been part of your experience, now as an adult, you have far more resources to recalibrate that experience.
You do not have to live your life as the child that experienced that.
With the lack of defenses, being the complete victim, that is no longer who you are, so why not recalibrate your mind, your consciousness, your belief system to take advantage of your adult neurology and your wisdom that you have today?
Is that a fair statement, Peter?
100% correct.
I couldn't agree more.
And if people want to dip their toe in the water and not spend any money, they can go to my YouTube channel, which is Blue Sky Hypnosis.
I've got 200 videos on there.
And some of them, many of them, are like a self-hypnosis, a guided hypnosis track where they can guide themselves through this.
And you can read the comments.
It's amazing when you are able to touch that many people.
How many people will say, I lost 88 pounds over the last six months and I just don't feel a craving for this and that.
I've heard my abandoned child on the inside, and I'm not saying that that works for everybody.
A lot of people need the personalized one-on-one thing rather than something generic, but this is a way of dipping the toe in the water.
Well, and I'd like to suggest here, and I apologize for even using the term, but this is just the way I talk, that we have a site called Brighteon University, brightu.com, and if you were to offer us the ability to broadcast like a An eight or nine part course free of charge where people could optionally purchase the course.
We could really, I think, reach together with your effort.
We could reach...
You know, hundreds of thousands of people through Bright Town University.
We're having a lot of success with many other programs.
Right now we're running the Marjorie Wildcraft.
We're about to broadcast the Wildcraft program there.
But Todd, you've seen our Bright U programs.
Absolutely.
They've been very effective.
It would be very powerful.
The format really works, so that's something to consider, Peter.
We should talk after the show.
I'd be happy to do that, yeah.
What you offer can be so helpful to people.
And I think so many people go through life wondering why things are not working.
And they lack the answers, but the answers sometimes can be so simple.
Not to say that it doesn't take a lot of courage to do it.
It takes some guts to agree to undergo a hypnotic trance, even to name what you want.
That takes guts.
That can.
That can for sure.
And to open up to somebody.
And that takes me back all the way to that word rapport.
You know, when you have rapport with somebody, when they trust, when they know, like, and trust you, they're willing to listen to you.
They're willing to open up to you in a way that they won't if you don't have rapport.
Whether you're working one-on-one with a hypnosis client or Mike and Todd, you guys have built rapport with your audience, with however many people that you have, or you're trying to talk to, say, a family member that is all the way down the rabbit hole.
Just remember, you have to have rapport because without that, you've got nothing.
In the words of Matthias Desmond, who was the mass formation psychosis guy, The psychologist that talked about mass formation psychosis, which he said is a dangerous form, quote, a dangerous form of hypnosis.
He said the key is to break the illusion of consensus, which is exactly what we learned from the Ash experiment when a second person stepped up.
It went from 75% down to 10% because that second person broke the illusion of consensus.
Yep.
And that's what we do with this show and today with your help.
So I just want to thank you, Peter.
This has been truly fascinating.
We'd love to invite you back and do more with you.
I think we've only scratched the surface here, but the greater context of what we're doing, folks, is...
With the show, what Todd and I do, and with our special guests like Peter today, we work to give you tools so that you can take back your freedom.
Your freedom to think, your life, your liberty, controlling your own future instead of having it programmed for you.
Because, trust me, the script that the globalists have written for you is not a future that you want to experience.
If you want to have a good future, you need to write your script.
And this is the way to get that done.
So thank you for joining us today, Peter.
It's been a pleasure.
Peter, I just have one last question.
You mentioned Florida.
I live in Tampa.
Where do you live?
Oh, I live outside of Tampa in Tarpon Springs.
Bingo.
All right, let's get together.
Food forest tour time.
Yeah, come see my food forest.
We'll go in the back and we'll hang with the raccoons and the herd of deer back there.
How about that, Peter?
Oh, I'm there, Todd.
I'm there.
You know what?
I think, Todd, I think Peter would love to visit Jim Gale's operation.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Food forest abundance.
How far is that from Tampa?
Galt's Landing.
It is just southeast of the Orlando airport by about 20 minutes.
So you and I could go over there together.
That would be awesome.
We'll go over there together.
I'll introduce you to them.
Amazing people.
I saw Corey speak at one of his events that was held there.
And yeah, that would be great.
But it is fantastic.
I was just like, you know...
For me, I look for Godwinks everywhere I can, and to me this feels like a little Godwink that we're in each other's backyard, and I look forward to getting to know you a little better.
Go ahead.
In fact, Peter, Todd and I, for the show, we very often interview people with whom we've never spoken before, and we never know how it's really going to go.
And there have been times where we've stopped interviews.
I'll just say, we've said, you know what, sir?
Maybe you work on your thing a little bit more and we'll talk later.
But today, this is a home run.
You've been fantastic.
Thank you so much for that.
And I just want everybody who's watching to know that if you get this out of your right pocket, if you just pull it out, This is the Control-Alt-Delete move, right?
Oh, is that what that is?
I was wondering, like a squid, what is that?
We all can hit Control-Alt-Delete on our core trauma, you know, if we get the right guidance.
And to me, it just seems, Peter, like, I know you give good rapport.
I mean, Mike, you can feel it, right?
He gives good rapport.
And I really encourage people to go to blueskyhypnosis.com and reach out to Peter if indeed there's anything in your life.
I'm fascinated by it, and I know we're going a little bit long, but I do want to just share one other thing.
Earlier today, I hosted a live stream with a gentleman, and we got onto the subject about addictive behaviors and how many We're good to go.
It can be, you know, your phone, your nose and your phone the whole time.
I mean, there are many ways for the Druid Babylonian bastards, as I call them, to be able to suck our life force from us.
So what really intrigues me about what you've shared, Peter, is that it seems like there's a solution, like a hack.
To be able to crack the code of addictive behaviors.
And I submit to you that those who have suffered trauma, perhaps sexual trauma, that that has produced other addictive behaviors in their lives that you have to get before it gets you.
So this encourages me because I know you are going to get lots of folks who are going to reach out to you and you're going to help lots of people.
So thank you, Peter.
And you're welcome.
Thank both of you.
Really enjoyable afternoon.
All right.
Well, prepare for some folks to reach out to you.
And thank you for all that you do.
And thank you for your compassion for helping human beings.
And we'll talk with you again about what we can do next.
That sounds great, Mike.
All right.
Awesome.
Thank you so much, Peter.
And by the way, Mike, have the producers reach out to me, get Peter's contact info.
We'll do that.
Or it'll be on your site, I presume.
But I want to connect with you over the next week, if possible, Peter.
Would love that.
Would love that.
We'll make that happen.

All right.
Another great connection here on the show.
