Hypnotic trance—A deeply relaxed and focused state with increased suggestibility and suspension of critical faculties.

The same article then goes on to say meditation and visualization techniques are used to induce trance. Zission combines both: http://zission.com

Critical Factor Bypass is a well known technique in hypnotherapy, and I could provide tons of links. That said, it's an experimental project and has been extremely beneficial for me. I thought I'd share.

The words are almost transparent for a reason. When the words are hard to read, the conscious mind becomes preoccupied with the image and the message imprints directly to the unconscious. It's a technique known as Critical Factor Bypass.

EDIT: This comment is becoming transparent too. Your conscious mind will ignore them because they are hard to read, but your subconscious mind is about to make a choice... about deepening your meditation... and feeling a growing sense of confidence... about buying my posters...

Everything that defines the self such as experiences, thoughts, and even our physical appearance is ephemeral and intangible. There is no particular thing to hold on to. It's all in a state of flux.

That may seem obvious, but to conceptual thinkers like myself, experiencing non-duality (no-self) and "Thusness" (as Alan Watts calls it) is difficult. It's why I designed subliminal posters for meditating: http://zission.com

Here is a specific poster for nonduality http://zission.com/product/words-inside-outside/

This will be handy, especially in times of extreme price volatility. Thanks for developing this.

I have both the new Kindle Paperwhite and the old Kobo mini e-reader, and I like the Kobo much better. Kobo's UI is far superior, and it connects with Pocket, so you can catch up on your articles too.
