I think you may have missed the idea of the hypnosis. Then again, I may have misunderstood your post. The point is not to enter hypnosis again at the point where the techniques are required. Its rather to register the techniques with the subconscious mind.

The concepts of NLP and Adrenal Dump are new for me, but looking back I can see where they are obvious in my life. I've seen the results of adrenal dump cripple an otherwise skilled fighter, and I've played with a little NLP and it has paid off. Though, I wasnt really thinking of it as NLP, it was more training in a meditative state.

In an adrenal dump stage, the while the subconscious mind may not be 100% in control of your actions, I feel its pretty safe to say it has atleast equal footing with your conscious mind at this point and perhaps another "adrenal state" is in majority control. If you're consciously and subconsciously programmed to use a technique I think you have a better chance of maintaining some control. Consider this, lets say you're shocked, and 50% or your mind is locked in adrenal dump, 25% is conscious, and 25% is subconscious. If you train subconsciously and share knowledge across your subconscious and conscious mind, that technique is retained in 50% of your current state, which is much better than 25%. I don't know if this is the way it actually works, but its an incredibly stripped down "crazy" idea that's been bouncing around in my head.

I think we can all agree that we've experienced several different states of consciousness at some point in our lives. I personally have had the effects of an adrenal dump negatively impact me, but I was able to learn from that experience, and I began to devote time to studying the problem til it was drilled in my head. This is a dumb example, but I lost control of my car on a large highway (I-95) and spun the car 270 degrees across 3 lanes of traffic, miraculously, I didn't hit anything. But what had happened, was hte car started to skid, I panicked, and jerked the wheel, and then there was no stopping the ensuing spin. That scared the hell out of me, and I spent a lot of time replaying the whole thing in my head, I fricking had dreams about it. Just recently, during the first snow storm in the area, I was drving a friend to his house, I hit a snow drift that was a foot deep it sent the car into a skid, I didn't panic, I steered into the skid, and corrected. I maintained much more conscious thought, and had more control of the situation but my "DON''T JERK THE WHEEL DUMBASS, STEER INTO THE SKID" programming kicked in and I reacted the right way quicker than I could think to "steer into the skid"..

Anyways.. Sorry for another long winded post. I really enjoyed the original post on NLP and hypnosis. Very nice. Thank you.
