Yes, that is a common reaction Soufie
I myself hadn't heard of him, until I read of him in a guide book
He sounds interesting, thought I
I've seen his statue, I would put a picture of it, but despite being explained to me how to do it, the know how, of how to do it, still evades me
I wonder why, most people haven't heard of him, ( or if they have, then the 'fictional' him) despite him, being a quite important historical figure
If I look up hypnotism , in an encyclopedia, something which I've done before, I learn about Mesmer, but he doesn't even get a mention
I wonder why, he lies in an unmarked grave
And just what did he do, to get imprisoned
And just what did he do, to get out of prison
And being under the mental health system, since the age of 21, I've had a fair amount of dealings with, psychologists ( I studied psychology, at A level, never heard of him there, Piaget, is far more en vogue, Vygotsky, spit, no, we're doing Piaget) and psychiatrists.
Why would a psychologist use hypnotism?
Would a psychiatrist use hypnotism?
And if so, or, if not, why?
Is it possible to hypnotize somebody, without them knowing, they've been hypnotised?
And if it is, are there any laws, about this sort of thing?
You see, in all these years, you would think, that these people, would have hypnotised me, I think that's rational and reasonable, you know, to get to things that lay, in the subconscious, unconscious
Particularly, as when I first encountered them, I told them, that I thought, that people were hypnotising me
But they've never told me I have, never made me aware, that I have, and remain resolute in their diagnosis, that this, is a delusion of mine.
Well, well, which is more rational
That they have, or that they haven't
Anyway, sorry if I've gone a little of track, and bleeted about personal experiences, but if you haven't read any of my posts before, it may give you a little insight, as to a reason, why I find this man, particularly interesting, and why I would greatly love, to learn more about him

Other than anything you might read on google
Yes, I know, he was a character in a fictional book, The Count of Monte Cristo, by, Alexander Dumas , the guy who wrote the 3 musketeers
But he was a real guy, famous for his work in hypnotism, and dare I say it, perhaps even esotericism
He hung around with some pretty famous characters, who you may have heard of, if you haven't heard of him
Marie Antoinette, for 1. I must 'fess up to my own ignorance here, I've heard of her, but don't know much about her, other than that she's French, and was around at the time of Napoleon, I think
Anyway, I was just interested
Thought it may provoke / inspire a few thoughts / discussions

Um, I don't agree with you, in the slightest
You make some sort of magik triangle out of Feminism, Nihilism and Communism
I don't see how wanting equal rights for women, equates to either of the other 2
In Britain, it's not that long since women were allowed to vote
They are still vastly unrepresented in some professions, and are still on the whole paid less than men, for doing the same job
Football or soccer as you probably call it, has seen a recent resurgence of interest in the women's game recently
At 1 time, it was more popular than the mans game
This was stopped, deliberately, they weren't allowed to play anymore
I didn't know this until fairly recently myself
I found out, watching a program about it, which was on during a weeks worth of programs, which was the anniversary of either the Suffragettes or the vote I believe.
Have you heard of the French Resistance from the second world war?
They were largely woman
And if caught, would suffer the same fate as men would
Only worse, I'll leave to your imagination, what it is they may have suffered

For all that I disagree, with what you say
I do agree, that their maybe a lessening of masculinity
But I've heard of a completely different theory, as to why that is
The active drug, that is in the Female contraceptive pill, passes into the water table, and thus is passed onto us all
As a side note, in this country, should a woman want to come off the pill, for any reason other than to conceive
Said lady will receive a barrage of questions from her doctor, who will strongly advise her against doing so, and will then proceed to do their best, to get her to see a psychiatrist

This sort of stuff has been on the cards ever since they introduced the Champions league
When I first heard of it's possibility, I thought it sounded like a good idea
My Dad, did not
It's a typical rich get richer, poor get poorer situation
And money aside, you can win the Champions league, without even winning your own league
Plus it's devalued other things. The League Cup and UEFA Cup, don't really have half the prestige they used to have
Bring back the European Cup, and the Cup Winners Cup

After a brief look on the internet, there is advice, that it is safe to travel in some parts of the country
It advises against going close to Libya
So I googled travel advice for Libya
It is advised, not to go there

And I have to say, I find some of the previous posts, very insulting

My friend, I mean no disrespect to yourself or your country
But it is not currently regarded as a popular tourist destination
I believe there were some incidents, that put people off
Also as a largely Muslim country I believe, I'm not sure if alcohol, is legal
That's pretty much a deal breaker, for many people
Morocco, maybe, Tunisia, doubtful

I'm not entirely certain, that is true
I think the fact it's used, surreptitiously, and that it has a bias, I believe is deliberate, is wrong
Facial recognition was devised and first used, quite successfully, by casinos I believe

I think he's called somebody nasty, about 5 times now
Each of those 5 people could be described as a strong woman.
A coincidence? I think not
Also, he thinks climate change is a hoax, or at least, he says he does
What are his principles?
Ego and money it would seem, with those 2 things, in a sort of unholy union, both feeding off each other.
I honestly think there's little room inside his heart or head for anything else

Blondey, I directed my comment at the wrong person, sorry
But sweet on him?
Sweet on him?
She forced him to marry, somebody he'd never even met, and had no desire to marry
Thus completely doing away with his free will, in order that she could get what she desired
She then commenced to try to pervert. his free will, by enticing him, to place his neck within either of 2 nooses
At no time did she present a 3rd option
So, old Mr White Knight, may well be a sweety, but I certainly, would not describe him, as a fool, and I'd sure as shiπ still get divorced or run away
What's good for the goose, is good for the gander, but, what's good for the gander, ain't good for the goose, bollocπs

That's a nice tale, I like it
I couldn't let her choose, because I myself hadn't had the ability to choose to be married to her , but neither would I try to deny her choosing.
And Blondey you forget, that she essentially forced herself on a man, oh but you might be thinking a little differently, if the sexes were reversed in that story, so did she do, what she did, out of benevolence, or to serve her own desires, a pound of flesh, was mentioned

Why run?
Well, me old mate Arthur, has landed me in some right old schtuk
He made some deal to spare his life which was fair enough, and I'd like to help him, but not really at the expense of my own
I do not agree, that all men are selfish
Whilst I'm looking forward to the end of this tale
I will not engage as what I see as a negative philosophy, or bind. Both choices are wrong.
If I can't get divorced or run. Then I will simply not have sex with my wife, therefore fulfilling said contract, and releasing me from it.
Not only that, I would tell my wife this, hoping she will understand and forgive me, but fearing that she may not
And I would certainly no longer be pals with Arthur, and strongly think about punching him in the face
Essentially, he made the deal, not I
And might I add, Arthur's life was spared, when he gave the answer
Nothing has been mentioned of what said Witch would do, if her price was not paid.
So frankly , I would never have married her in the first place

A lot of this goes of my head
But it smacks of the chickens coming home to roost

We all know the Devil is in the detail, I examined that contract thoroughly
I want a divorce
If I can't have it, I'm running away

Hi, not bad mate, thanks, how are you?
