Before presupposition the French had a term for it which pre-dates presupposition by about a hundred years first appearing around 1845 in a history of a Franco army triumph.

The term?

Fait Accompli – which means ‘the deed is done’.That roughly means to suppose that something has already happened.

Creating a reality as if it has already happened, even though it will happen in the future, is what hypnotists have been doing as a matter of course for a few hundreds of years and what subconscious minds have been doing for ever.

“When I wake you you HAVE forgotten your name.” The presupposition there is you Have forgotten it even though that hasn’t happened yet.

What you DO with it is to act as if the result is a thing of the present rather than a thing of the future.

For instance to get someone to shut the door you could say, “You found closing the door to be pleasant.”

Don’t hide it, there is no need. Their brain won’t understand it as it has no future nor past and becoming confused will give over control to the mind. Their mind will just believe it and to make it so and fell ‘pleasant’ it Has To Shut The Door. What will happen is they will look at you with a frown or even say “What?” and then they will close the door to ‘feel pleasant’.

Of course you could just say, “Please shut the door,” but that isn’t anywhere near as much fun as playing the mind game!

So to use a presupposition move your imagination into a place where Fait Accompli! And act and talk as if it is.

Actually Derren Brown blows the old eye accessing clues apart in his first book. It’s totally unproven rubbish. However what he gives you in place is worth gold. And I’m paraphrasing here.

What you need to watch for is their ‘Pattern’.

Ask them three questions that they can not lie about. “Is your hair brown?” “Is it cold today?” etc. Watch where their eyes go and how they move their eyes AND their mouth, head and shoulders. If they lie that pattern, whatever it is for them, will change, even the volume and tone of their voice sometimes changes.

I did a variation of that once on Jane but without her speaking.

I said “Just think three things about Saskia – her daughter – and make one of them a lie.”

I then said, “Think of the first thing”, counted to four.
“Think of the second”, counted to four.
“Now think of the third.” counted to four.

I then told her it was the second and she was amazed.

Between you and I it wasn’t all that amazing because although she held her eyes pretty steady on the second thing she very slightly nodded her head.

You know, there are loads of books and stuff out there that I’ve waisted time and money on when what it comes down to is you’ve got to look for the easy stuff.

The stuff that works!
