"Giving yourself last- minute directions before going to sleep is called 'controlled sleep'... Controlled sleep can give you waking self- control." (D. Fink - Psych) (61:7) "The smoking habit, like all other habits, is a form of self- hypnosis. Conscious suggestion while completely relaxed de hypnotizes, and breaks the habit... Remember to use controlled sleep-- last minute directions to do tomorrow what you wish you had done today... By using controlled sleep, you will be able to make yourself do the things that you know will make you happy. You knock out nervousness before it gets a chance to hurt you. (D. Fink - Psych) (61:8) "When you are returning to ways of creative living, you are breaking another wheel in the machine of self- destructive emotional behavior. Your daily adjustments become more and more satisfactory... The vicious circle of nervousness, maladjustment, and more nervousness is out." (D. Fink - Psych) (61:9) "It is only when conflict between emotional habit patterns of withdrawal and expansion-- flight and approach-- disturb the interbrain that we have trouble. Then... a few nerve cells dominate the entire brain. Instead of a democracy ruled by the many, we have a dictatorship by a part of the organism. Freedom of thought is abolished by self- induced partial hypnosis. Suggestions that normally should call forth positive responses induce apathy or opposition." (D. Fink - Psych)
