OWEN BENJAMIN: . . . how it works is simple. You don't get to make choices over your own body. You don't ever get to choose where you sit. The littlest things are what offers up consent . . .

He's trying to trigger him so he's doing these things that the more the person does not react, the less likely they will in the future and the more they'll submit.  It doesn't build a resentment where someone pops that's not what happens.  

So he's doing these provocative things, these little head movements, and he's asking condescending things.  He's humiliating him.  The more he can hijack him . . . the guy's heart is probably pounding.  He probably has a feeling he wants to punch him in the face.  He feels ashamed.  He hates the guy but the more that they don't react, the more that it's now separating your nervous system from your own ability to act on it.  

So when we feel an instinct it's our bodies telling us about a threat if we just routinely don't act on it or don't leave or don't correct the situation this is a very very unnatural environment where someone has the ability of telling you where to walk or embarrassing you in front of everybody screaming in your face like antagonizing you So eventually if enough people around you are doing the same thing and you're now looking for social cues, you lose that feeling like when that guy is yelling at you it starts becoming numb and so now the authority your brain or your soul or whatever is looking for who is giving the orders and so if you're not going to listen to the orders you're not in charge anymore.  So then what becomes in charge is the institution itself and so instead of your own preservation your own truth Journey your own whatever it's to get a square on your shirt, like if you get a piece of metal there or you get to put a stripe on your sleeve that makes you feel peace and comfort and this is what gets people in a position where they will run into a machine gun and die without even hesitating because they're not getting signals anymore from their body when it comes to fear Their fear would be fear of not getting a stripe on their shirt given to them by someone they've previously despised.

2:49.  Now when I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermannie Granger?

Okay, relax. Mental, that one, I'm telling you.  Ah, right then.  Gryffindor! 

I said you will sound off! 

You see how he's moving? It's to trigger him, and the more that it doesn't work . . .

Yes, Chief!  Yes, Chief!

Did I say walk back on the toe line?  I didn't.

The whole thing is that you are not in control of the decisions you're making, and the more nonsensical the more it works.  That's why COVID work the way it did.  Because hop on one foot and call yourself an asshole.  It's like the more ridiculous it is . . . when it's nonsense, it turns you into a drone or a slave versus discipline.

Do you know where you're at?  RESPOND!!! 

This sounds extreme but the drill sergeant is doing a good job with this.  Him not responding is passive aggressive.  So "do you know where you're at?"  He should say, "Yes, Sergeant," or "No, Sergeant.  I do not know where I'm at."  The fact that he doesn't respond is a direct attack at this guy's authority because in reality he doesn't actually have more authority than the other guy.  It hasn't been determined.  This is just based on what pin you're wearing on your shirt.  And so he gets he cranks the sympathetic nervous system because then if the guy tries to hit him they'll put him in the Clink or they'll beat the hell out of them or they kick him out of the military.  So he can't respond, and so he jacks him up and resets it.  It's like the Overton window.  Now it's like he resets his nervous system so that he will respond the next time.  

RESPOND!!!  Say something. 'Yes, Chief!  No, Chief!  Maybe, Chief!'  What is it?

Yes, Chief.  

Because responding is not an option.

There is a reason for everything that we do here. We do instill that pressure.

So what is it doing next to you, huh?  Let me guess, you want to now you want to fix it?  Maybe you had just done the right thing the first time . . .

5:40.  What this is doing is it's breaking that thing in you that will run when things are bad in war.  And so I understand.  It makes logical sense.  It's why they're doing this.  But how it works is simple.  You don't get to make choices over your own body.  You don't ever get to choose where you sit.  The littlest things are what offers up consent, the smallest little thing.  This is another drill sergeant.  He's getting his teeth near the neck.  He's doing everything he can to jack up that sympathetic nervous system, and the more they don't react the more that the conductor has control, the wizard has control, because this is 100% what Wizardry is.  And then various words are then associated with a nervous response.  So you say a word, and then boom, boom!  You say another word, boom, boom!  That's what a spell is.  It's still always consent but when you really get in there to that million brain like that part of your brain that feels fear and aggression and all that . . .

6:44.  If I'm going to sit up and break a b**** down and have her do anything, I can have her sit in front of this white man and break him down the exact same way.  It ain't no different you know what I'm saying because I don't want no p**** I never wanted p**** from the b****.  You know what I'm saying?  So I'm like, okay, I'm fitting to play this mother f*****.  I'm really fittin' to see how far I can take this s*** and I've been doing it ever since.  I can't act, I really can't act.

Maybe they all have something to hide.

Like what?

I think they're on a down low.

Down what?

The down low.  Black men havin' sex with other men.

Every one of these guys is married.  Some have kids. 

That's sex on the down low. They say it doesn't mean they're gay.

What does it mean?

It's just sex they hang out, have a few drinks pretending what goes on downstairs isn't who they are. 

7:29.  It's all game.  Ain't nobody . . . I'm just working these n******.  The funny thing is that when I get out here and I deal with different individuals . . .

7:41.  So you see how he's moving?  That's effective because it's exhausting I think it was in Chapter 2 of How to Slay a Wizard.  [Here is Chapter 1 of How to Slay a Wizard.]  I was talking about how if you can predict something, it's easier to understand.  It's like the unpredictable is what freaks people out.  out.  It's like what the Joker talked about,

You know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plan is horrifying.  If tomorrow I tell the press, like a gangbanger will get shot or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics because that's all part of the plan.  But when I say that one little mayor will die, well, then everyone loses their minds.

Because if you stop and think about it it really doesn't make sense but it's a script.  This is what happens when this happens.  This is the protocol, and that way people cannot exhaust themselves with emotional stress.  So when someone is moving in a way that isn't natural . . . like there's a style of fighting called "Drunken boxing," which is weird and just that hesitation like what do I do in this situation,  that's enough to make it work.  Because now he's getting approval from his tribe and from his authority based on how loud he can scream.  It's not what's good for him, his truth Journey, his authentic self.  It's just if I scream louder, I'm better according to that guy and that's how someone can hypnotize someone.  I'm about to show you something interesting that it doesn't matter what language it's in . . .
