The Unconscious Has a GPS

✦ This is not an induction. It's a mirror held up to the lexicon. Look as long as you like.✦

✦ ᛉ ᚨ ᚷ ᛟ ✦

Words are not just sounds. They are sensory vehicles, not merely instructions.

Deep hypnosis is built at the lexical level— in the choice of words.

Linguistics applies to altered states of consciousness.

Words are not synonyms. They are keys to different sensory doors.

🧭 A Lexical Map

Down → Vector. Direction. Controlled depth. → Trance progression

Under → Container. Matrix. Containment, surrender. → Stable trance phase

Sink → Organic process. → Bodily yielding

Fall → Transitional event. Sudden letting go. → Instant drops / anchors

Drop → Instant surrender anchor. → Abrupt state shift

Deeper → Endless progression. → Continuity without rupture

🎯 Context Matters

The ideal word depends on the subject’s initial bodily state:

If there is tension: Drop or Fall may be too abrupt. Better choices: Sink, Let go.

If the subject is already relaxed: Deeper allows smooth progression.

If there is subtle resistance: Under (protection) should precede Down (direction).

That’s why many hypnotists combine language:

“Sink… all the way down… under…”

“And with every breath, you just drop deeper… all the way down.”

Both effects happen at once: the event of letting go, and the process of continuing to descend.

The unconscious doesn’t get confused. It follows the map.

⚠️ FLOW — When Not to Use

✦ Before you start: This is not an induction. It is a linguistic risk map.✦ ✦ ᛉ ᚨ ᚷ ᛟ ✦

FLOW dissolves the observer. It blurs agency into process and replaces orientation with momentum. When the nervous system requires edges, containment, or interruption, this dissolution becomes destabilizing.

1. In Psychotic or Manic States Where ego boundaries are already porous or inflated, FLOW confirms the illusion of limitless motion or cosmic alignment.

🔴Risk: Amplifies grandiosity, accelerates racing cognition, reinforces loss of reality testing. The “current” becomes a riptide. 🟣Key Indicators: Pressured speech, expansive affect, delusions of unity or destiny, history of mania or psychosis. 🟡Instead Use: ANCHOR, HERE, STEADY. Language of location, orientation, and weight. Emphasize pause over motion.

2. In Subjects Prone to Spiritual Bypass For those who use transcendence to avoid contact, FLOW offers a perfect escape.

🔴Risk: Difficult material is washed away instead of metabolized. The trance becomes dissociation dressed as insight. 🟣Key Indicators: Chronic positivity, dismissal of pain as “just energy,” avoidance of conflict or grief. 🟡Instead Use: STAY WITH, NOTICE THE SHAPE OF, ALLOW IT TO BE EXACTLY AS IT IS. Language of curiosity without movement.

3. When Precision and Direction Are Required FLOW is inherently non-directive. It spreads attention.

🔴Risk: Dilution of targeted interventions (trauma processing, resource installation, reconsolidation). Attention drifts instead of stabilizing. 🟣Key Indicators: Structured protocols, need for exact imagery or sequencing. 🟡Instead Use: NOW GO TO, BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO, FOCUS ON. Language of placement and intent.

🔵 4. In States of Grief, Freeze, or Protective Stuckness Not all stillness is resistance. Some immobility is intelligent.

🔴Risk: Implies that stillness is wrong, creating shame or performative “flow.” The subject splits between authentic freeze and artificial motion. 🟣Key Indicators: Fresh loss, dorsal vagal dominance, heaviness that feels necessary. 🟡Instead Use: BE WITH THE WEIGHT, ALLOW THE STILLNESS, LET IT SETTLE WHERE IT IS. Honor the intelligence of the pause.

🟣 The Principle of Flow True flow cannot be commanded. The moment it is demanded, effort reappears — and flow collapses.

Therefore, FLOW functions best as observation, not imperative:

“You may begin to notice a sense of flow already present…” “There is nothing to create — only something already moving.”

To say “FLOW” as an order is to generate its opposite: the strain of trying to be effortless.
