The Collection of Confidence     Compare

I finished the entire program a few days ago, and I'd been working on it at since it was released. Looking back from where I started, the amount of changes I've noticed is PHENOMENAL. At the beginning of the program, when I wrote down my goals, I actually laughed at how absurd some of my goals seemed. It was like I was describing some kind of fantasy world that could never come to exist. But now, a surprising number of them are actually right here and right now, and a part of me. Not every goal has been reached yet, but that's because I recognize I still have a very long road ahead of me, and this program has taught me to enjoy the process of change instead of fearing it!

Before I started this program, I was at total rock-bottom confidence-wise. I had no idea what I was doing with my life, I had no real friends, I could literally not hold eye contact (my eyes would begin to tear up and I'd physiologically start to cry), and I had no sense of humor or confidence at all. Now, I have no problem being friendly and outgoing, I've grown to love holding eye contact (and it gets me a lot of smiles and hi's too!) with no problem, and I've learned the beauty of setting goals and the thrilling rush of achieving them. I used to be able to go days without saying a word (literally!), but now I regularly greet people on the street and brighten their day with smiles, eye contact, and friendly greetings. I can't remember which CD it was on, but something really memorable stuck with me. 'Are you influenced by your environment, or do you influence your environment?' This is what I'm striving to become.

One of the steps in the program has you do something that is way out of your comfort zone. A few days ago, I attended this huge dinner party at my school. I had no problem opening sets and becoming very friendly with others. I actually got up and did a bamboo dance with this very hot girl I was talking with! I couldn't believe I was doing a dance I've NEVER done before, in front of literally 100+ strangers, and with a hot girl! I had SO much fun, it makes me wonder how I lived before I found this program that I would have never dared done such a thing. This is from a guy that about 6 weeks ago, would NOT have even gone to this dinner party because he was so shy and afraid he wouldn't be able to talk to anyone and look like a loner.

This program has made me blossom into what I've always wanted to be. It feels like it took all the pent-up energy I had, and helped me use it to guide myself along the path, showing me the door, so I can open it for myself. Like someone said earlier, this program is the best friend I've never had, that's supportive and understanding and helping me change myself for the better. I want to sincerely thank you, Hypnotica. You've made a profound difference in my life.

I just find the hypnosis to lack impact, and it often pulls me out of trance whenever he says something jarring like "when you decide to start continuing to allow your body to choose to relax." What?? Notice all of the stacked passive verbs. If you've already got us in a trance, just say, "Relax." It would be a much smoother ride down to trancesylvania. Or every time he tries to say, "You're mine." instead of "..your mind." I feel manipulated when he says that and it instantly puts me on guard and resistant.

The unconscious mind understands simple language, like a child, understands symbols and imagery. If you want to make an impression on the unconscious mind, you don't use 20 abstract words to convey your message when you can convey it in 2 or 3 words.

"...open your mind up… to the changes that you are now…...ready for them!"

The above is in the hypnosis track. He's trying to mix Ross Jeffries covert hypnosis idea, where you embed commands into your everyday language, with overt hypnosis where you induce a trance, then issue commands or suggestions. I believe this is a fail on both accounts. If you were to say that in conversation, of course it fails in the overt conversation. The idea is to make the sentence/statement make sense BOTH overtly and covertly. In the above example, the above sentence makes no sense overtly, and it could have more impact if he smoothly stated, "You are ready for the changes in your life." We're already hypnotized, so why make the command so unclear? At best, the subject will have to work out what Hypnotica was trying to suggest, and then go, "Oh, that was clever."

"Perhaps you may be more aware of some things than you were before. Perhaps you can feel certain sensations, and thoughts, and you can allow yourself to become more aware of certain things in a variety of different ways. You can relax more quickly than you may have seen before."

I would describe the above as unnecessarily verbose and vague. Also the last bit, "you can relax more quickly than you may have seen before," is worded poorly. Instead, I would have liked the hypnotist to be more specific in his suggestions, such as, for example, "You can feel the weight of your hands," instead of not directing my mind to any 'sensation' specifically.

"And it’s nice to know that you don’t have to give just too much effort to bother making the time to experience a letting go in your own way within your own time now."

I can hear the influence of Ross Jeffries in the above, and it's wording is just weird and hard to follow.

Also, I think a couple of the affirmations, for example, in track 4 of the 2nd CD, should be worded differently.
They are:
"You are a positive individual who sees the problems ONLY as opportunities." "You use negative emotions ONLY as building blocks for a more positive future." I think the above affirmations would be much more effective and positive if you remove the word "ONLY."

For example, I think they would appeal more to the subconscious mind if worded like this:
"When you encounter a problem, you see an opportunity."
"You have the power to make changes."
"You can release your fear."
"You live in a safe world."
"You are rising above thoughts that make your heart angry or afraid."

I started using Hypnotica's stuff (confidence) about a 3 weeks ago and it really changed my life.. We had a Rock Band party at my boss's house with 15+ coworkers,s which included direct reports.. I have never sang kareoke or sang in front of anyone, but that night I felt compelled to bastardize 'Hungry like the wolf, which I did in a spectacular way.. Wow.. I wanted to devastate sabotage in a bad way, but nobody would give me the mic..
Three days later, we got a new account rep for one of our suppliers, hot 25 year old.. I never said a word to her and the next day she started sending me suspect emails.. I was a douche bag it took me 3 follow up emails to figure out she wanted me.. I ended up going out with her and I do when she is in town..

2 months earlier I went through a shitty breakup with a jealous gf, I dumped her which is still painful.. I remeber Mystery going though the pain.. I forced myself to go through the same stupid pain... suck it up and do it! You will reall learn who you are...

So I started listening to the attractor factor, my co-workers and subordinates continually ask me why the hell I am so happy. I don't know...

I find myself in the weirdest position in my life, where I care so much about my closest friends. The expectations for myself, I don't worry about because I know it is going to happen. I feel so compelled to bring positivity to people that surround me, especially the people close to me. Life has really been in slo-motion recently, where everyone wants to be around me. The best thing about all of it, is that i use my reality to bring happiness to all that surrounds me.

I have been recently introduced to Wayne Dyer and Psycho-cybernetics, and this is the same plane as those in a slightly different context.. Like the matrix without bullet dodging and flying..

This isn't to pimp anyone's product..But I do thank Hypnotica for producing that Jack in the box sound that is stuck in MY HEAD ALL DAY. Yes his voice and the music is paralyzing..

Hypnotica - I really thank you for your contributions to humanity, you offer alot and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.. The positive effect on my reality has befitied everyone in my life. It makes me smile that someone gets it...

Woah! This guy takes hypnosis to a whole new level. For people who have confidence issue this is life changing! I Was always generally more confident than most guys around me, but this brings you to a whole new level of awareness and understanding about yourself. YOU WILL SEE YOURSELF IN A NEW LIGHT, Almost as if you have been released from chains that have been holding you back for so long has finally been unchained! Highly reccomended. Thanks hypnotica for your contribution to humanity.

I tried it for the first time last night, while I was pretty exhausted. After a few minutes I started drifting in and out of sleep, and I think missed a lot of stuff, including whatever the 'cave of chaos' is. The only strange thing that happened to me was near the middle of the track: all of a sudden I started seeing things with my eyes closed and experienced some spatial disorientation (I felt like I was twisting in a clock-wise direction in bed even though I was perfectly still).

It was a pretty interesting and even scary experience, but I felt pretty much the same the morning after. I'll try it again some other time when I'm not so sleepy.

Basically 'anyone who also puts work INTO the process, will get OUT precisely what they were aiming for' sums it up pretty good. Each step takes you further out of your comfort zone with each exercise and has you realize what your potential is. This is not a program where you listen to it once and you become an approaching machine. This program actually took about 4 months to complete. It is designed for you to spend a week on each CD but i found that I needed more time with each exercise and that I really wanted to smash in the hypnotic suggestions in each track so I usually listened to it each night for about 2 weeks before moving on.

I will say that I did not finish step 5 completely and I do not remember why, I think I was a little busy and lost momentum on the project and then lost my nerve.

Thinking about it I would like to go back and do it again, I think it will assist you in your journey but not be the answer.

Do I still have AA, yes, for sure I do. Do I feel more confident in general, and do I understand that AA is natural and part of the process, yes.

I would give this 4/5 stars and just realize that it takes time.

I bought the CoC a few weeks ago and it is, in my humble opinion, amazing. I am only on disk three but have found value in the following ways:

1) I have a clear vision of who I want to become
2) I am more aware of my thought patterns when around attractive women
3) I feel an urge to approach women and feel like a failure if I don't

There are also some bonus CDs that I have yet to explore.

I really do feel much freer from the flawed social programming that has developed over the past 27 years of my life. I think back on some events that have irrationally impacted how I interact socially today. What I have come to realize is that the events of the past don't define who I am today in any way. In fact, the way the others react reflects on them and their world...not mine. However they choose to perceive me is fine.

Don't expect to finish this in a week. It is a gradual and rewarding process. Hope this helps someone out in the community.

I am fairly new to the game. I just got out of five year relationship. Several years before I started practicing self hypnosis to organize my life. I downloaded the free hypnosis tracks from the SoI website. These tracks were simply amazing. When Hypnotica put on his new product I order it immediately. I am currently working through CDs but it takes time to do it right. However, the bonus hypnosis tracks are simply mind blowing. The production quality is really amazing compared with other hypnosis products on the market today. There is really no words to describe what the hypnosis is like, it just mind blowing. I will have a full review up when I finished when the course. Keep up the good work Hypnotica!

PS - This subtitle is the Confidence Collection Volume I, so can we expect to be seeing a Volume II in the near future?

I recently purchased and received this program in the mail and am extremely impressed with the product so far. I have listened to the first part of CD 1 and to several of the bonus tracks. The quality of the recording and the music is AWESOME! I have made a commitment that I will follow exactly what Hypnotica says and do each step fully and completely before moving on. Too many times in the past I have been a passive listener and I never gained anything from programs. I have already written down nearly two pages of specific goals and have been keeping a journal in which I write them down each morning upon waking and each night before bed. It's crazy because I can almost recite them word for word and I find myself saying them in my head at various times throughout the day without even thinking to.

The one question I have about the program is as follows: How long should one spend on each of the various stages? I understand I am supposed to only move on when I am extremely inspired and motivated by my goals on stage 1. I feel like I am close but it has only been a few days. When the time comes and I am ready for the next stages, How long do you recommend spending dedicated to each stage?

P.S. - this morning i listened to the bonus tracks featuring the interview with Cameron and it is great. It really made me think of things differently already

I bought it as soon as I heard it was ready.

I've just started listening, and due to some personal circumstances haven't had time to put into the exercises. Actually, it just arrived yesterday...however...

I just listened to one of the 'bonus' meditations (which you can listen to at any time, as opposed to the first 5 discs, which I am going to FOLLOW TO THE LETTER, and not skip over anything--you're not supposed to jump around from disc to disc until you've done the work on each one, in order), and this was honestly mindblowing.

I literally just logged in now to see if anyone else started to listen to this, but apparently I'm the first to post. (EDIT: realized I'm not) This is better even than I expected, and knowing Hypnotica's reputation for perfection I was expecting a lot.

I was just listening to the 'approaching' medition...honestly, my ipod landed on it while I was scrolling and it started to play, so I figured I'd listen to that one. Wow. intense. I had to stop listening because it was that intense...good intense, deep and provocative. I was laying on my couch, and had to just stop for a sec and catch my breath, refocus. Fuc-king-in-ten-se.

Anyone that knows me knows that I am not one to normally rant and rave so profusely about something like this, I am far from being a community product junkie...I am really, really looking forward to working through this program.

So far....highly, highly recommended. I'll come back w/ reviews, as I have always appreciated the reviews of others, especially when a product is a bit more expensive as this one is.

One note...I went out tonight and dropped the cash on a really good set of noise canceling headphones, and this makes a HUGE difference, imo. It makes the experience a lot more enveloping or encompassing, hard to describe, but just...ah, just get some really good headphones and you'll see what I mean.
