Turkey or Treat!

Turkey or Treat starts tomorrow.

Details to come - here - shortly.

Are you ready?

UPDATE: 11/1/11

Ready or not, here it is!

Welcome to November and Turkey or Treat!

This month will be much easier and
straight forward than last month.
Technically it will also be enhanced
thanks to someone who was able to
code the page for me with JavaScript.

So...the first and most important
thing you need to know is that the
page requires you to have JavaScript
enabled.

There is a calendar, just like last
month, but now you won't have to guess
the day, as it will automatically take
that information from your computer.

You can only click the current day,
and you can only play once per day.
Any additional plays will net you
the same pay-to-view email.

There are 4 types of emails, how many
of each type is in parenthesis:

Turkeys (10)
The turkey gobbled your treat.
Better luck next time. :)

MP3s (5)
You are treated to one of my
recordings.

Images (10)
You are treated to one of my
images.

Treat - for me (5)
Treat me by asking me what I
want and/or accept the Payment
Request in the email.

What you get will be picked randomly.
There is no way to know what you will
receive.

Since the programming is at random, you
may also receive duplicates. However,
the pay emails are only $2 each. So when
you receive the files you will get them
for a steal.

The odds of the turkeys gobbling up all
of your treats are likely minimal, but
should you find that you are playing
regularly and aren't getting any treats,
talk to me, and we will see what can be
arranged. The same goes if you are such
a big fan that it just so happens you
have the files you are getting.

This is meant to be fun, as always.
Of course, it helps if you are a fan
of mine and enjoy what I do, and like
doing things for me, then no matter
what you do it is a win. :) It also
means that our sessions can help to
make your playing more interesting/
mean more.

If you have any questions, please
just ask. Also, since this is
new, there could be hiccups, so please
be patient. And let's have some fun!

Let the games continue.
Click here for Turkey or Treat!
 

Trick or Treat Ends...

tomorrow.

Wow. I can't believe how quickly the month went.
Where did it go? Anyone know?

I hope those of you who played the game enjoyed it.
From the feedback I received I would have to think
that it was awesome for those who participated.

I am writing to invite you to play tomorrow,
Halloween, as I will be adding an unexpected
treat for those who partake.

Also...as Trick or Treat ends, Turkey or Treat
will be beginning. Sometime on November 1st, you
will see the new game posted. It should be
interesting, too...but in a slightly different
way. If you are interested in me and what I do,
you'll want to play.

Have a good night.

Life goes on...

until it doesn't.

This past week I lost a member of my family.
As I write this another family member is
in the hospital, and I am not sure what is
going to happen. It doesn't look good,
though.

It has me thinking about what I know of this
person's life. This person has lived a life
of resignation. This person has done what
they can to make the intolerable tolerable.
This person has also had 5 heart attacks.

Some say that the mind and body have nothing
to do with one another. I don't know what
I think in an absolute sense, but when I see
someone who hasn't been happy having an
attack of the heart, it doesn't seem impossible
to consider a link.

This is a person who hasn't been perfect, but
then no one is. This person did a lot for me
at one time in my life, and for that I will
always be grateful, as it wasn't something
they had to do. At the time I had wished for
more, but had to do my best to recognize what
was instead of getting upset for what wasn't.

Of course that was the logical part of me.
Other parts weren't in such great accord. :P

I don't know what is "better" the unexpected
death, like the race car driver who recently
died, or the one you know is coming. Any
which way we slice it, death is an inevitability,
even though we seem to act as though there is
always going to be another...

I watched the movie The Adjustment Bureau last
night. In it (don't read if you don't want me
to spoil anything for you) Matt Damon and a
woman feel inexplicably, powerfully drawn
together. They meet the first time in a men's
bathroom. They aren't ever supposed to meet
again, but then he runs into her on a bus.

He gets her number this time, only to be
"mugged," and he loses her number. Three
years pass and he continues to ride the same
bus at the same time hoping to run into her.

He had been advised after the second run in
that it was not part of The Plan for them
to be together. Apparently The Chairman had
a plan, and there were those who did things
like spill coffee, interrupt the internet, and
various other things that would help to "adjust"
the outcome that needed to occur - according to
The Greater Plan.

It is a movie about the exercise of Free Will.
The characters in the movie suggest that it is
just an illusion, and yet Matt Damon and his
love interest seem to prove otherwise as a way
of saying that outcomes desired by free will
sometimes take effort, and need to be striven for.

There are many pieces to the movie that make
me think. I don't know about you but I have had
moments in my life that the inexplicable happened
in the most powerful of ways. At one point in the
movie the woman says she was supposed to get
married in those three years, but didn't because
she couldn't stop thinking of Matt's character.
It does seem silly, perhaps, and yet there are
those times in life we seemingly can't let go
of something, despite how illogical it is.

Why do I tell you about this in this entry?
Because it is interesting to me that I saw this
movie at this time. We are only here for a
relatively short time. It seems to me that we
do ourselves an incredible disservice when we
do what my family member has done. So many on
their death bed, it has been said, mourn what
they didn't do rather than focus on what they
have done.

In my life I have gotten better about being who
I am as much as possible - despite what the
consequences may be. In some odd way it has
given me peace. Even as I may be losing another
family member soon I know that I have said what
I needed to express.

I feel a bit all over the place at the moment,
but I do think it all ties together in some way.
How in the world do we get to have what we want
in life, unless we are willing to express ourselves
in the words and actions that help to create the
life that we would like to have instead of the
one that has been created by the flow that seems
to have carried us along.

If we are happy with "the flow," then great.
But if we are only settling or making do then
it seems to me that there might be other things
that are worthy of pursuit. And I don't know
about you, but I think if that is the case, we
deserve to go after what we want, whether we
get it or not. Perhaps a near miss will bring
us closer to what we truly want any way.

Maybe. Maybe not. Who the heck knows? I
certainly don't. At the same time all we have
in life is our perspective. It will either
empower or disempower us, and it is our choice
which one we choose. Circumstances inherently
have no meaning, but it is how we identify
with it that gives us the life we live day to
day.

One last thought: Pablo Picasso said,
“Everything you can imagine is real.” If that
is the case, this movie could be a possible
version of reality, and it could be a message
that tells us that there are some things that
we want that we can have, as long as we act
on our desire and have a willingness to at
times pursue what even seems to be the
impossible. Even if it is not, it still
seems to me to be a message to consider.

Here's to living a life you love, and having
each day be a testament to your desires and
desired outcomes.

Just Love Compliments :)

Tonight someone told me,

"You are an incredible woman
sexy
clever
funny
intelligent
open minded
sensual
You are all those things and more.

Talking to you is
part education
part ego boost
and
part seduction."

I suppose your mileage may
vary, but perhaps knowing
that someone thinks this
of me will help you decide
if you'd like to spend some
of your precious time with
me, as well. You could
think I told him to say it,
and wonder if the comment
means anything for real.

There is, of course, one
way to find out. Let me
hypnotize you to say the
same thing. :P

Have a good night.

Sweet dreams.

Greetings!

You may have noticed there is a new banner at the
top of the page. Maybe it even brought you here.

I know the Trick or Treat IsisFest isn't even over
yet, but I have already begun some new treats/ideas
for the next couple of months.

I posted the banner just to let you know that
something else is coming, so you can look forward
to some more fun. It won't be like this month,
but I haven't quite worked out all of the details
yet.

In addition, I have had someone help me with it,
in terms of the technical details which I think
will be a great enhancement for your playing
pleasure.

When the game is posted, the image above will be
linked to the appropriate place instead.

Any questions or concerns, just ask/let me know.

Soon I am fairly sure you'll be gobbling up some
wonderful pleasures. After all it is the month
of being thankful in the US, so I want to see
what I can create around that for you, and our
mutual enjoyment.

Have a great night!
 

Disappearing Acts

Sometimes there are people who will call me regularly,
enjoy themselves (or so it would seem), and then one
day just stop calling.

*Poof*

I never quite know what is happening, although I
always hope that they're OK. Sometimes I figure
they may have found someone else they enjoy more.
Sometimes I wonder if they're doing what they want
to be doing. Sometimes I wonder if it is something
I said or did.

These people cross my mind from time to time, and
often I never hear from them again, and never know
why. Occasionally, though, there are those who
disappear on me only to surface several months, or
even years, later.

When they return, there seems to be a commonality
to what they're experience was:

Something happened that made them get scared, or
uneasy. It isn't something *I* have done, but rather
they are scared, perhaps, of what I would or could do.

They feel guilty for not saying anything to me, even
though I am often still very much on their mind.

They return with enthusiasm for me and my work telling
me that no one compares to me. Of course, they could
just be saying that to make me feel good, but when I
let them know that if it really wasn't the case, it's
OK, and I want to know, they still insist that it is
absolutely true.

Time and time again I tell people to let me know what
they're thinking. Even if tomorrow you wanted to
stop being hypnotized by me the best thing you could
do for yourself is to talk to me, instead of stopping
cold turkey. If you have asked me to do things to
affect how you feel about me, they may still be
operating in the background of your mind, whether we
ever speak again, or not.

I also tell people that they have to trust their gut.
If you are responding to a fear, your gut isn't
engaged, and you may not be making the best decision
for yourself. If you trusted me enough to speak with
me a number of times, then trust me enough to do
whatever it takes for you to have a good experience -
even if it is the last one.

I have to laugh when occasionally someone will tell
me that they were scared of me (even though I never
did anything harmful, but just because they knew that
I was able to affect them), and then proceeded
to call others. That really doesn't make much sense,
now does it?

If you know me at all, you know I value communication.
You also know that I find that most people have
difficulty communicating what they feel - especially
when the feelings are the strongest. It is because
I know, and recognize, these facts I ask you to just
let me know what is going on. It doesn't have to be
perfect or eloquent, but just start somewhere. Give
us a starting place.

I promise you I don't want you to go anywhere you
don't want to go, and I am not in the business of
creating destinations for me to convince you to like.
I got into this because I thought it was an awesome
avenue for pleasure, and that is the underpining of
what I do. If you don't enjoy yourself, I can't
possibly enjoy myself.

I really hope that if you are someone that I have
spoken to with any kind of regularity that you won't
pull a disappearing act on me, but if you do, please
know that I will never hold it against you, you
should never hold it aganst yourself, and that you
are always welcome to make a return.

Have a wonderful night!

A few thoughts on a few "Myths"

Whenever people talk about "myths" regarding hypnosis,
I find that the absolute statements lead to things
that are sometimes misleading. There are usually
caveats that are important to be aware of so that you
might realize a potential problem/pitfall.

The more you know the better chance, perhaps, you have
at staying out of trouble. Even though it is difficult
to have any surefire ways to prevent that from
happening when someone knows what they are doing.

Here are a few of my thoughts on some of these "myths."

1) Only weak minded/unintelligent people can be hypnotized

Many of those who have called me over the years are very intelligent individuals and among them are engineers, architects, lawyers, programmers. Often those who are intelligent are quite able to be hypnotized. They may not think so, as their thinking may get in the way at times, however, whether or not a person is suggestible, and how suggestible they are is not necessarily contingent on what they do for a living. Having said that, those who are in high stress jobs are more ripe, in some ways, for the picking as there may be a desire to escape. In addition, there are ways that those who are in the "know" know how to side step that thinking part of you in a way that you could be broadsided. To say the weak minded are the only ones who can be hypnotized is to say something like only the bad drivers have accidents, and we both know that is not true. However we also know that a good driver might be better able to avert an incident, however being better able doesn't mean being immune.

2) A hypnotist has complete control over you when you are hypnotized

How this plays out depends on a number of factors. It could depend on how suggestible a person is, how deep the person goes, how good the hypnotist is with suggestions that can manipulate a particular outcome, how stressed out a person is. Some will say you will "never do anything against your will." If the hypnotist is able to manipulate that part of you - make something fall within your will - or get you deep enough your will isn't necessarily a part of the equation, it is quite possible to have outcomes that suggest that there is complete control. And even if there isn't complete control while hypnotized, if the hypnotist is able to manimpulate you into and out of hypnotic states, then it won't matter whether there is "complete control" in that moment, or not, as there will be other moments that will provide additional opportunities to create an outcome desired by the hypnotist. I also know of cases where it didn't matter what the mind was thinking or feeling, the body and voice was betraying it. To some that may sound erotic and enticing, but I can assure you from some who have been on the receiving end of it, it is no fun, at all.

3) If you can hear the hypnotist/remember what was said then you were not hypnotized

There are many levels to hypnosis. If you watch a movie and lose track of where you are and what is going on around you, you are aware of the voices on the screen, and you are in a trance state. Just because you hear the hypnotist and/or remember what was said does not mean that you weren't at the effect of a trance. Some people make the mistake of thinking that they haven't been affected when they have actually been quite affected. Much is possible at even a light state of of hypnosis. So many keep saying they want to go deeper and deeper, probably so feel like something happened, but it isn't necessary to have fun and enjoy yourself, or worse, get f*cked up.

4) You can remain permanently stuck in hypnosis

It is said that when you go to sleep you are no longer in a hypnotic state. I have nothing to say to this that would suggest otherwise. However, when you go to sleep at night and when you awaken you are in hypnotic like states which can be manipulated by someone who knows how. If someone really wanted to manipulate you all they would have to do is take advantage of those states, and you can be in hypnosis from the minute you awaken to the time you go to sleep. So while you most likely cannot get stuck in hypnosis, it doesn't mean you couldn't be spending your "waking" hours in a hypnotic sleep.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel
free to ask, and play and stay safe!

Just Maybe I Know...

Just maybe I know what I am talking about.

So many times I will tell people things
about hypnosis, and they will be polite,
but they don't believe me.

I find it interesting that recently one
of those people found their way to a
"professional" hypnotist (translation:
someone in the "real" world) who charges
more per session than I do only to be
told the same things I have told them.
Things, by the way, that go against the
grain of what is often said about hypnosis.

As many times as I have said over and over
certain things, it was never believed -
until this other person told them.

I am grateful for a myriad of reasons
that this person has now come to understand
what I have been saying all along, but it
is incredibly interesting - to say the
least - when someone comes back and tells
you something almost word for word what
you said many times, and like it is the
first time they have heard it.

I may not toss around my certifications
and I may not charge an arm, a leg, and
a pint of blood for my services, and
erotic hypnosis may seem like nothing but
silly fun...but I have been doing this
work for over 7 years, and I have learned
more about this topic than I ever really
wanted to, and have been exposed to things
that would blow your mind.

When I tell you something, I ask you from
the bottom of my heart to take it to your
heart. What I tell you may never be your
experience, and if that is the case, fine.
But you may never know if it is, or isn't,
until it is later than you think.

As always,
please play (and stay) safe,
Isis

"You know you're in love
when you don't want to fall asleep
because reality is
finally better than your dreams."
- Dr Seuss

I would say perhaps a worthy endeavor
of life is to stay awake as much as
possible, to enjoy as much as possible,
and I don't necessarily mean literally.

There are times it is way too easy to
check out. Falling in love with someone
else, or with your own self and life,
would be an amazing thing!

It also happens that it also seems to
be one of the most difficult - and yet,
most rewarding things we will ever do.

Here's to the Love of your life and
the Love in your life.

Broken.

I broke my nail.

OK everyone, let's have a moment
of silence for what once was.

*Silence*


After you hopefully chuckled
for a moment or two, let me share
with you why I shared this with
you.

As you can see from the picture,
my nail was pretty long, and as
you may also be able to see it
broke pretty low. It hurts, but
I have had worse.

I got to thinking about how life
is like this situation. I got to
thinking about how things grow
and grow. Sometimes we attend to
them and make them look nice, and
sometimes they grow any way. And
then, one day, they suddenly break,
and sometimes in a painful way.

If we continue to let things grow they
may be more and more beautiful, and
they also may be better off if we
paid some attention to them and did
some pruning every now again. Perhaps
it is the pruning that allows us to
keep what we got, and maybe even makes
it stronger.

If I hadn't let the nail grow so long,
it likely wouldn't be so short now.
Maybe if I had been willing to let
it go, I would have had more as a result.

Interestingly (perhaps) it makes me
consider what it would take to keep
the length of the nails I still have.
Do I cut them down, or do I let them
stay? Obviously, I run the risk that
they, too, could suffer the same fate.

Any which way it goes (and I know you
want to know so badly which way that
will be, don't you? LOL) I think it
was a worthwhile event, as it brought
something to my attention that I had
never really considered before in this
way, and perhaps it will be something
of value to you, too. I am sure this
metaphor could be fleshed out even more,
but even in its minimal state, it would
seem to me that it is an example of
how painful it is sometimes to keep
things as long as we do.

Have a great day.

what you think=what is? | Video

We often think we "know" what someone
else is saying, feeling, thinking, doing...
and we can be wrong.

There are many times disagreements and
misunderstandings are a result of what
we THINK we know.

Before jumping to any conclusions, and
reacting, you may want to consider that
how something appears isn't how it is,
at all.

Have a great day!

In Pain?

"The mind's natural tendency when facing pain
is to attempt to avoid it, but that only
magnifies the pain."
- Psychology today, November/December 2008

I have seen this many times, without
hypnosis. But when you add hypnosis
as a form of retreat (instead of a
way to help heal), it can make
matters significantly worse.

If you find yourself in a difficult
and uncomfortable and painful situation,
the last thing you may need is to go
into trance.

Trust me on this. Want to understand
it better? Feel free to talk to me
about it.

Have a great week!

The Multiplicity That is You

I just got done watching the movie Multiplicity.
It is an older movie that stars Michael Keaton.
If you are unfamiliar with it, he plays someone
who is overwhelmed with responsibilities and
wants to find more time. He happens to find a
person who is able to clone him.

As a result he clones himself two times. There
is a third clone that comes along, as well, but
I won't go into the details. In addition, if you
are not one for spoilers you may not want to
read the rest of what I am about to write,
although I am not sure I will be spilling too
much.

The reason I mention this film is a couple of
reasons. At one point in the film the "real"
one of him, Doug, asks a version of himself
if he thought his wife preferred him to the
original. The copy explains to him that they
are the same person, so how could that be
possible.

In actuality, the versions that come along
rather than being duplicates, seem to skew
toward a certain part of his personality.
While it is still "him," it is many ways
just a piece of him. It made me think
about how we all have different parts to us.
And these different parts play their role in
the context of the greater whole.

While we don't have a whole other us who is
that person, it may at times seem as though
we do, and those parts, even when they do
their best, sometimes need the whole of us
to succeed. There is a part of the movie in
which Doug loses his job because of how the
clones/parts of him react. Had he actually
have been there, things may not have occurred
the way that they did. The clones also have
a situation with his wife that also has her
leave. She unknowingly has run ins with the
clones, so she is often left wondering who
he is, and if he knows what he wants - as
there are conflicting things that are said
and done.

In some ways he begins by abandoning parts
of his life only to to discover later that
by embracing the pieces of his life,
complications and all, and by acting on
the things that he had been neglecting, he
can be content with what he has.

Perhaps it is "just" a movie, and life isn't
as "neat" as all that. However there is
something to be said for acknowledging the
bigger picture and the role that the
individual elements play within it.

I often see people struggle with themselves,
and it is difficult for them to make all of
their pieces fit in peace. Part of making
that happen is to understand the position
of the parts, and what is important to them,
and then work together for the greater whole
of who you are.

Just like any relationship, it may not be
an easy or smooth ride, but it is one that
can be navigated successfully, especially
if the right questions are asked.

Whatever is important to you is likely to be
important to the greater whole of who you
are. Battles can be fought and won, but
wouldn't it be better to just come to some
sort of agreement that works for the whole
of who you are? The agreement will save a
lot more than just some energy. Fights of
any kind are often counterproductive, and
the environment will take you a lot longer
to get to where you are going. In addition,
the defeated sometimes come back to fight
another day.

Perhaps some friction is helpful. A pearl
is made from creating friction within a
clam. Fire can be created from two sticks
being rubbed together. So I am not saying
that we should do without. But what I am
saying is that there are sometimes more
things to consider than we are sometimes
aware of and once we become aware, our
field of possibilities expands and we may
find a different way to approach the
dilemmas we face.

By facing who we are and acknowledging our
various selves instead of trying to hold
them captive in some way, we can help
ourselves embrace them, or help them move on
when the time is right. After all, every
part of us does have a role to play that
helps us to see something about ourselves
that we can potentially learn from, if we
allow ourselves to. Perhaps there is
something we need to recognize and by
having a part that calls our attention to
it - even if in an uncomfortable way - we
get to appreciate something that we may
never would have otherwise.

Even though the clones were annoying at
times, in the end Doug seems to recognize
the value of what they have brought to
him, and it would seem that he was able
to move forward because of the seemingly
chaotic help they provided.

In the end, all the parts of you are indeed
you, and you can fight them, or you can find
the thing that they are looking to share with
you and in some way absorb it, or get what
you can from it, and let it go.

Sometimes it is easier with someone else
involved who can help you give voice to
those things. If you need help, I might
be able to do just that. :)

Have a great night.

On Being Responsible

When I sat down with an advisor in high school to
discuss college options, one of the colleges I
was looking at was very expensive. She asked me
if it would be wise for me to go there, as it
would mean a tremendous amount of debt.

My response was essentially optimistic. I figured
when I got out of college I would make "college
educated" money and be able to pay off my debts.
I basically was willing to turn a blind eye to the
possible difficulties.

A friend of mine was looking to buy a house. While
she made good money, it wasn't all that great for
the loan offers she was receiving. She looked at
some of the lenders in disbelief that they were
willing to loan that much money. She easily
resisted getting a bigger loan, although for her
it made no sense to get a bigger loan/house.

Someone I saw earlier on a video was talking about
"irresponsible lending," as he felt that he had not
understood all of the implications of the loans
that he had received for college.

These things, in conjunction with someone I was
speaking to recently about a mess that he has
found himself in with a hypnotist because he had
no idea what he was getting himself into, made me
stop and think about responsibility.

I have often said "just because I can, doesn't mean
I should" when it comes to what I am capable of
doing hypnotically. I say that because there is
a part of me that takes responsibility for those
I interact with. I take that responsibility, in
part, because I am not always sure that they know
what they are getting themselves into.

I wonder if it is partly our ego that gets us into
trouble: we think we can handle it. As a result
we do things with reckless abandon, although it
may not seem reckless to us at the time. In
addition, I should add that maybe sometimes how
we do things in ignorance can be a good thing,
however, I am thinking more of those times that
we may come up short/disgruntled.

All responsibility could be placed on those who
are making the decision: Hey, it isn't my fault.
He wanted to do it. I just gave him what he
asked for. Now he has to pay the consequences.
Don't blame me.

Of course, the person who did the thing could
turn around and say the person/institution did
them wrong because the person/institution was
being irresponsible with their resource and
knowledge. After all, shouldn't they have told
me not to do it/prohibited it from happening?

I would say that if we had a world in which people
took responsibility for themselves AND others we
would have situations in which a well meaning person
like my counselor would be listened to and advice
based in a place that made some sort of sense might
be heeded. Not that she would have been right, but
rather my ego wouldn't have been so quick to deflect.

Of course, any situation can be carved out the way
the carver wants to create it. However, we don't
have to agree with their assessment. My advisor
could have had an interest in me borrowing, in which
case she could have made a different case. It would be
wise to learn how best to listen to ourselves and
be guided by the things that work for us. Sometimes
it may be perfectly logical, and sometimes it may
make no sense at all. Sometimes we will succeed,
and other times we may fall flat on our faces.

Even a failure can be a good thing, as it could lay
the foundation to a future success. So maybe the
point isn't to avoid failure - which creates a need
for us to deny responsibility - but rather to stop
being swayed by another's tide, and reacting to our
ego's need to be right all of the time.

At the same time, we can share what we know and
hope that if we truly think we have something of
value that people should be listening to that they
will listen, and hope that when they speak, we have
the ears to hear if it would be to our benefit to
listen.

If we are responsible or irresponsible in relation
to others, it will not mean that we are responsible
FOR them. In the same way that others can be
responsible or irresponsible in relation to us,
they are not responsible FOR us.
(I am speaking about the average adult here, and
not the disabled or young or anyone who is unable
to make decision for themselves and take care of
themselves).

To believe that anyone is responsible for us is to
give ourselves up to another. That might just be OK,
but at the same time it is best to be careful whose
hands we give ourselves over to whether it be the
baker, the banker or the candlestick maker.

After all, even those with the best of intentions have
moments that are less than stellar. While it may be
more complicated than most likely want it to be, in
some ways it can't be more simple. Get what info you
can, be as informed as you can, trust your gut, and
be careful who you give your trust to. All of those
pieces are in your hands. To deny or ignore any of
them and you really only have yourself to blame, if
you feel the need to blame anyone.

What if you do all of those things, and things don't
work out? Consider that maybe there was a lesson to
be learned, or it was just one of those life moments
that just sucked. You can blame someone else - the
courts are full of cases like that - but what good
is that going to do, really?

This is a tough topic which I don't think I can cover
in totality in just a few paragraphs. One might think
that I never think someone should be held responsible
for their actions. I would hope that isn't the case,
however, if you happen to think that, please know that
this is more about a discussion that I think is a good
and healthy one to have as we go about living our lives.
I think it is also one that has been distorted many
times over in many levels of our world and culture.

There are no easy answers or quick fixes, but the
the quality of the answers we get is often dictated
by the quality of questions we ask. Questions are
often more important that the answers. When we
place blame, we often stop asking the questions
that we need to move forward.

Walking around blaming others for things that don't
work out just ain't gonna cut it for the long run.
It is when people and organizations take
responsibility - instead of place blame - that we
are able to effect change, which can ultimately mean
a better world for us individually and our culture
as a whole.

Ok...so that is what I say. What say ye? I welcome
your contribution to this important and difficult
conversation. I have tried my best to communicate a
few thoughts here - which isn't always easy with a
loaded topic like this - and if you have any that
could help me to clarify/amend what I have said, it
would be appreciated.

Have a great weekend.

"You have a caller."

Me: What's on your mind?

"One minute remaining."

Caller: The same thing that is on your mind.

Me: (in hindsight) Me, watching you suck cock?
(not really true, but the part of me that doesn't
find calls like this remotely interesting would
love to have been that sarcastic and stunning.
It likely wouldn't have mattered what he thought
any way, as I will likely never have heard from
again, even if I hadn't blocked him.)

Me: (in reality) You're looking to get off, aren't you?

Caller: Think you can do it?

Amazing callers I have sometimes,
just gotta tell ya.

If you've never called me before
and are reading this and this would

Thank you.
 

Stubborn as an Ox?

Attribution

I was speaking with someone recently about
horoscopes. While many know about the
western ones, few know much about the
Chinese versions which go by years instead
of months.

While I don't know what to make of this type
of thing in general, one thing I do know is
that often it gets a bad rap because it is
boiled down to such a generic place it could
seem to apply to almost anyone.

At the same time, it might be interesting
to see where there is a relationship between
what a person's sign says s/he is and what
the person actually is. I have found on
occasion that it can be quite insightful.

When you recognize something about yourself
you have two choices: embrace it or change
it. And the first step in changing it is
to embrace it. Without being able to
acknowledge a characteristic you are unable
to do anything to alter it.

Were you, or someone you know, born in
1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949,
1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009

If so, you are an Ox in Chinese astrology,
and one of the key characteristics of an
Ox is stubbornness and inflexibility.
Does it fit?

An Ox may get along with a Rabbit who
tries to play peacemaker (which is a
good characteristic, but as with most
things, it can sometimes be to his/her
own detriment). The characteristics
of the personality might be able to
balance the other out.

If you are curious at all about your sign,
you can click on one of the text links
above, and you can see detailed descriptions
of the signs and compatibilities (or you can
just click here). If you do that, I'd be
curious to know if you feel that it matches
the characteristics of you or someone you
know.

As always, feel free to share publicly or
privately.

Have a great weekend.

IsisFest Additional Treat

Based on my previous Playlist Posting,
I decided to do a special IsisFest
treat that is outside of the daily game.

For a LIMITED TIME (though midnight
Eastern Time Sunday, 10/9) I am offering
the four files mentioned:

I Do What I am Told (MP3) ($19.95)
The Ride (MP3) ($24.95)
More (WMV) ($15)
Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle (MP3) ($26.00)

for a steal of $45.95!

Buy these files individually, and you'd
pay approximately $86.00. You're
essentially getting 4 files for the
price of 2.

If you have called me and we have spoken
and I have hypnotized you you will want
to get these files to enhance our time
together. You can ask me anything you
like about these files, or click on the
individual file name in the lower right
of this blog. All but the first one is
listed.

The first one is for anyone who feels
like he would like to focus on me, only
me, and would like to do what I tell him
to. It is a file that is made for someone
previously hypnotized by me, while the
other 3 could likely be enjoyed by anyone.

Tempted? Then you should go ahead and
act on it. Not sure when, if ever, I
will make this offer again.


 

Your Time is Limited... | Video

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it
living someone else's life. Don't be
trapped by dogma which is living with
the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions
drown out your own inner voice. And
most important, have the courage to
follow your heart and intuition. They
somehow already know what you truly want
to become. Everything else is secondary."

- Steve Jobs

Tenker was kind enough to post a commencement
address from Steve Jobs. I had never seen it
before, but it turns out the quote that I
shared in the last entry comes from that talk,
along with some other juicy bits.

He shares about his college experience, and
how things that didn't make sense or fit at
the time came to mean something down the road.
How often do things happen in the moment that
make no sense or are painful, only to be the
foundation for some other moment in the future
that THEN makes perfect sense?

If you have the time, check out the video.
If you don't have the time, might I suggest
you make the time? It will likely be worth it.

Think Different | Video

"Have the courage to follow your heart & intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to
become. Everything else is secondary."

- Steve Jobs

So much is being said about this man today. I
never paid much attention to him or his story,
until now, and what an amazing one it is - on
so many levels.

Would he have been the same man with the same
opportunities and met the same people if he
hadn't been adopted?

If he had given up the many times things seemed
to tank, would he have been someone who "could
have been somebody"?

Would he have become all that he was, and
accomplish all that he did if he hadn't been
fired from Apple?

There are things about his life that some will
judge negatively and harshly, and some will even
take away the fact that "he" created what he did,
by saying that GOD did. (Sadly I have heard people
are going to protest his funeral.)

When we will realize the fact that while we are
in many ways seemingly different, we are, at the
core, remarkably similar? When will we realize
that the things we are meant to recognize aren't
the things that we often do?

Inspiration comes from somewhere. Maybe it is
God. At the same time, many are inspired, and
do nothing. Steve Jobs was a man, who it is
said (and I think he may have said), lived
every day like it was his last.*

Many of us live like we will have forever. We
go through life mindlessly floating along, and
even if inspiration hits, it sits idly by.

Steve Jobs made the most of his human experience,
seeming faults and all, and the actions he took
have changed the landscape of much of our
technological world. He did that by allowing
himself to question things and how they looked
and felt and how they were approached, molded,
and handled - and then - acted on it.

I would say the celebration of any person is
more about what they contribute to the process
of life than the things they bring to life
itself. The greatest tribute we can make for
anyone is to honor the lessons that they brought
to our attention through who they were, what
they said, and what they did.

Like the man, or not, he impressed many enough
to affect them in the ways that mattered -
to themselves. I can think of no greater gift.



*EDIT
I just read about how he went about taking his
wife out on their first date. It would truly
seem that he lived his life that way in all
regards.

"For all of his single-minded dedication to the company he built from the ground up, Jobs actually skipped a meeting to take Laurene on their first date: "I was in the parking lot with the key in the car, and I thought to myself, 'If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman?' I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she'd have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we've been together ever since.'"

Ever think about...?

Ever think about our relationship to nudity?

I do.

ESPN is coming out with their "Body" Issue
shortly which will feature a cover with a
naked Hope Solo.

Basically it is a magazine edition that
will feature naked athletes. Of course
it seems these naked athletes are bent
in just the right way so that nothing
is showing that "shouldn't" be.

I can't help but think about how good we
are at rationalizing things. I am sure
there are people who will still take issue
with the issue, but somehow for others, it
will be OK because key things are covered up.

Does it seem silly to anyone else, besides
me that we react as we do to naked bodies?

I tend to think that the more we find
something taboo, the more it has a way
of affecting us. If we would "allow"
people to be naked, we would allow ourselves
to be seen for who we really are.

It occurs to me as I write this that it
fits with the way our culture is: we
live one way privately and publicly
we cover up parts of ourselves, for fear
of what exposure might mean.

I suspect if we let ourselves reveal who
we truly are, there might just be a collective
sigh of relief (after the initial shock wears
off, that is).

As always, I don't know the answers, but
am asking questions based on my perspective.
Other countries seem to have a healthier
relationship to sex because they have a
healthier relationship to nudity.

One does not necessarily have to be attached
to the other, but because it often is, I
suspect that is a great part of the problem.

I'd say that a healthy dynamic is one in
which the individual is able to be who he
or she is without shame, without having to
be something they are not. If we can have
that, we might just stop concerning ourselves
about what we cover up - or don't.

It might just be that the conversation around
nudity is a distraction from things that are
much less superficial and much more important.

Just a few of my cents.

The Best of Life

The head of a person does
too much talking sometimes
and it tries to be
logical
practical
make "sense."

Problem is...
some of the best of life
is none of that.
 

I Thought you were going to be...

The System Says: "You have a caller."

We connect.

The Caller Says:
"Hey baby what are you doing?"

I say:
"Talking to you."

I already get the sense he isn't anyone
I have spoken to, as this is not the
approach anyone I know takes. It is
almost always also someone I know is
probably not going to want to talk to me.
I kinda have a sense of these things
after the thousands of calls I have taken.

I then say:
"So what brings you to me tonight?"

He says:
"I thought you were going to be a
submissive little slut."

I chuckle and say:
"Well this is not what this line is
about, maybe you want to find
someone else."

He agrees with me - by hanging up.

I laugh out loud, hard.
 

Next Venture

October has barely begun...and I am working
on my next great venture...I hope you will
be able to catch your breath before the
next pleasures arrive.

But I should never rush things.

Each and every moment is one to savor.

Enjoy this month's treasures while awake,
and dream of the wonders yet to come thar
will be even better for the foundation
that this month is creating for things
even better that are on their way.

Have a great night and enjoy your treats.

Recording Descriptions: Can You Help?

I was speaking with someone today about MP3
descriptions, and it had me reflect on a few
things and gave me an idea.

When I began making recordings several years
ago the environment seemed different than it
is now. For starters, so few people were
publicaly doing erotic hypnosis, and making
recordings wasn't nearly as easy as it is now.

In addition, when I began wandering into the
waters, I was making recordings primarily for
those who were hypnotized by me previously
which were more likely to be what was either
requested and/or what sensually fit who I am,
what I am willing to do, and my style.

There never was much in the way of a description,
and because most of my work was sold to those I
had a relationship with, there was (and still is)
an underlying message that the person needs to
ask more questions if he wants to know something
specific and/or if there was an issue upon
listening he would need to let me know ASAP.
I often would send some free minutes and because
he had been hypnotized by me previously, any
issue would likely be a quick fix.

I have never been one to want someone to listen
to a lot of my stuff and never talk to me. At
the same time I have made more recordings in the
past few years that don't "require" a connnection
first. I have had mixed feelings about it, and
the conversation today brought them back.

The discussion centered around what is said
about a person's recording - or what isn't.
It would seem that many would like to have
more comprehensive descriptions of recordings
they may listen to, and I actually think it is
great that people are paying attention and
asking for that. I have often been surprised
by the almost indifferent approach some have
had to hypnosis in any form.

To some degree I haven't been too concerned
about full descriptions because of the nature
of the dynamic I have with most who call me.
However I feel like it is time to do things
a bit differently, and I would like to ask for
your help.

Since you are the recipient of the work that
I do, you know what it is that you want to know
in regard to a recording. You know what types
of things you want to be said, and the types of
things that would be OK if not spelled out.

For that reason, I would like to ask you to tell
me what those things are. For those who are
desirous of doing something nice for me, you
can take it a step further; you can write a
description of the recordings that you have
for me, one that would have been helpful to
you when you were looking for a recording to
listen to. By doing this you will help me and
your fellow trancers.

I want to do this because I feel that your
input is important. In addition, I have zero
desire for someone to be in a situation that
he would rather not be in. Anything that I
can do to help insure that would be a worthy
pursuit.

I have been fortunate to bear witness to many
who have enjoyed me and my recordings over the
years, and I would very much like to keep it
that way.

As you may guess, this is likely to be a rather
large work, and one that will be in process for
a long time to come. After all, different people
have different ideas of what is important, what is
necessary, and so on.

While I don't know that every description will be
one that I will take verbatim, I know that whatever
you have to offer will be helpful, and your
contribution would most certainly be appreciated.

In the meantime, please ask me about anything you
are uncertain about and/or is important to you
before you indulge in my work. I have purposely
tried to keep things at a minimum for various
reasons - one of which is to encourage you to
contact and interact with me. So I encourage you
to take advantage of that.

Some - many that I know of - will want you to
listen to recordings before making contact. I
am quite the opposite. If you want to have a
hypnotic relationship with me of some sort, we
should talk - long before you go down any paths
with my work. Of course I get that some prefer
to have a "preview" of the possibilities, however
I can assure you a recording a session does not
make. It is NOT going to be a representation
of what to expect with me, even though it is
likely to be consistent with the essence of who
I am. My recordings are mostly designed to
complement what we do together, and vice versa,
even though they sometimes can stand on their own.

If you have something to contribute to this
conversation in a generic way, please add it in
the comment section below. If you would like to
contribute to things in a greater way, please
talk to me about it. I welcome your input.

Have a great night!
 

Humor(?)

I just saw this...

"I want to go down on you
and make you extremely happy.
Then I want to come back up
slowly and fuck you real
good and hard.

Yours truly,
gas prices!"

Yeah, baby!
 

How far is too far?

At the core of hypnosis done by some there is something that happens that abolishes something - or everything - of the self to be replaced by what another desires. For the most part - and more often than not - if you are OK with it, it is OK. But as I always say, if you are uncertain you owe it to yourself to re/consider what you pursue. Going along with the tide is easy the longer and stronger the tide. If you are swept away you better be damn sure it is what you want, otherwise you may wind up paying a price that you can't afford.

(And don't ask me what it is, as there is no way to know what will happen and what will be acceptable or not. The best you can do is pay attention to where and how you are at the moment, and figure out what is best based on what you currently know and recognize.)

You need to be responsible to yourself, as no one else can know what you need or be able to plan for every possible contingency, and having a "back up plan" of some sort would be advisable.

Is it ever "too" late to stop or change something? I could decide to drive to California right now and during the trip think I may want to come back to the east coast. I could be in the middle of PA and think about it, but keep heading west. I could be in Indiana, and think about it more and keep heading west. I could be in Illinois, and still think about it, and still head west. The farther west I get, the longer it will take me to get back east, should I choose to go back.

I will always have the option of turning around, even after I get to the west coast, but the thing is is that once I get there, I might just forget about the east coast and never return. I might not miss a thing, not realizing what I gave up. I could even forget what wonderful things and people I left on the east coast as I focused on what I found on the west coast. I may have even thought that I wasn't even leaving anything on the east coast, downplaying and minimizing the importance of what was.

I can likely be OK, if something or someone tells me to be, and tells me what to focus on, but if it affects others that know me, it might be a very sad thing for them. There might also be a part of me that wishes for what once was, but it could be buried so far deep, it could seem like a long ago dream that makes no sense in my current reality so I am unsure or unable to reconcile what I feel without someone's help and perspective.

I might also not have the financial means for a return so to do it, I will really have to want it, and be willing to do whatever it takes to get there. It might mean walking, it might mean sleeping outdoors, it might mean dangerous or difficult conditions that might, at times, seem impossible. It might seem so difficult, I may even want to give up, or give in.

The problem is that if I wound up in the middle of the country and felt the need to give up, I will no longer be in the west or the east coast, and everything that I knew would be no where near me which would create a whole other difficult scenario.

That is why we often stay where we are comfortable, to avoid the discomfort of the unknown, and even in our comfort zone we may be uncomfortable, but the familiarity gives us comfort, so we aren't necessarily willing to leave. We'd rather the discomfort we know to the discomfort we don't.

What happens in life is all about the choices we make moment to moment. As I always say, choose wisely. No one can take care of you the way you need to be taken care of, even if there is an illusion of that for a time.

How do you know when you've gone too far?
Too far for what?

Trick or Treat

I am very excited to see people enjoying the
results of my labors. I enjoyed putting this
event together, and now it's your turn to
enjoy.

Here are a few things that people have said
so far,

"Your legs are beautiful and the never fail to captivate. Heck, I'm not even a great fan of fishnet stockings but on you they just really pull me in. I had an image of being trapped and held against your thigh in the nets..."

"...If you aren't playing the Trick Or Treat game, you're REALLY missing out! The first treat alone was worth so much more than the price of admission for me!"

"You look amazing in your new photos. I can't even begin to give you the compliments that you deserve, they are incredible."

"Isis you are a genius...genius because of the blending of all your talents, and i would say clever too."

"The first treat was absolutely gorgeous!!"

For the record, the "first treat" for that person
isn't the same as it is for another person. Each
person gets their own treat for the day. There
may be times some will get the same one, after all
it is picked out of a "hat" (a pumpkin).

In addition, I have decided to add an extra treat
here and there, but you'll have to play to have
access to it. As they say, "you have to be in it
to win it." Hint: The first time this will appear
in the game is a day that has to do with the night
and your unconscious self.

Have a wonderful week and play here and
see more about the game here.

Trick or Treat: October IsisFest is Here!

The Event is Here!

If you click the image below, it will take
you to the page where you can play. The
page is set up like the calendar of the
month of October. You will only be able to
click the actual day that it is on the
calendar.

For instance, since today is October 1st,
you will not be able to click October 31st.
Updates will be made daily Eastern (East
US Coast time).

There may be some hiccups as we go, and
I do ask for your patience. This was rather
ambitious of me, and I do hope worthwhile
for you.

There are several images that are
wallpaper size. There are images
with fishnets, legs, stockings,
heels, cleavage, costumes, some
are fun, some are artistic, some
are just hypnotic..and at the moment
there is one movie file and one MP3.
I may throw in more at some point,
but 25 files is where this begins.
