Mind Programming: From Persuasion and Brainwashing, to Self-Help and Practical Metaphysics

by Eldon Taylor

Overview

It's the 21st century, and we've experienced a technology explosion that has granted us a cornucopia of luxuries and opportunities. At this point, virtually anything seems possible. However, along with the positive developments are ominous collaborations designed to deprive us of an inherent birthright--the power of a free mind.

This book is a riveting exposé of the plethora of research that has been carried out simply to discover ways of controlling your every thought and desire. What you'll learn will both shock and horrify you. Tweaking your psyche has become big business. Never again will you be able to ignore the truth--your very thoughts are not your own.

This book will give you the tools to take back control and reprogram your own mind, and the accompanying audio download is a powerful tool to create inner serenity and maintain your personal strength. Eldon Taylor provides insight, information, and easy-to-use methods that will empower you to realize the life of your dreams. You weren't meant to be the product of another's manipulation--whether in attitude and mood or in ambition and consumption.
