Charisma
& Power February 7, 2007
I
stopped by to do a little work on the format of this blog.
Charisma & Power January 24, 2007 Link to PC9cp >mp3< ~ Show Notes ~ http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc9cp.mp3 In this shorter than
usual podcast show, I discuss the creation of wisdom and the hot-button
issue of why intelligence and wisdom frequently don't reside within the
same individual. I talk about how and why social conventions can
destroy wisdom. In general, I separate the ownership of intelligence
from the possession of wisdom.

at the end of Podcast #16h the hypnotism issue, I
promised the following: "In the next podcast I do I think
I'll tell you my take on intelligence and wisdom and the difference
between the two. I'll talk about people who are very intelligent but
not always wise—and the thing that leads them astray. What is it
that leads them astray from their native intelligence and education.
I'll probably talk about cult-like behavior. I may mention the late
David Viscott." ...so I gotta
do it with this series in the next couple of days.

Most of us label ourselves as liberal, conservative, independent,
religious, secular, and so forth. Our belief system may remain intact
but what if the foundation of the label changes? This podcast discusses
rigidity and labels that could change character while we are not
looking. I recalled a revelation taught to me by my receptionist; a
concept called Leave Them Laughing.
I briefly mention the Mark Foley mess.

one must be self-aware. We're all self-aware on a physiological level
but usually not as much on a social level. One reason for this is we
haven't been educated on basics of social values and ideologies. For
example, do you claim to be a liberal or a conservative? If you claim
one of these political ideologies can you define it? Can you define the
ideology of those of the opposition? In podcast #8 I will go into the
concept of social awareness. I should have that show on-line is a day
or two.
Charisma & Power July 18, 2006 If you're a
subscriber, I'm sure you've noticed that I've been unable to keep up
with the Charisma
& PowerFrom
Hawaii Podcast,
I've initiated a new format. So, beginning with issue #70 of the
I've adopted a kind of magazine style to discuss a little bit about each topic listed in my schedule. Along with this blog topic, I'm including news from Hawaii; the dilemma of some seniors & stay-at-home-moms; e-commerce opportunities; hypnotism; allegories; health issues (including weight control and cigarette smoking); painful psychological problems such as the broken heart; and I may talk about some unique podcasts This is the weblog link: http://www.askcarl.net/PodcastWDS.html. Using this link you can check out the latest issues including show notes for each. I will continue to produce shows for this Charisma & Power topic but in between, you can hear some short but relevant ideas and concepts. I will, however, continue the serial: The Psychology of Mythology. Don't forget about the Archive Program. In the past couple of weeks, I've updated it quite a bit.

I start out
discussing the trait of charisma as opposed to a quality. I discuss
both sides of charisma... the good, bad, and the ugly. I then set up an
idea for a poll that could suggest a very interesting social attitude.
I briefly describe the six shows that have gone before this one in
preparation to import them into Podcast WDS DotCom. Here's the link to
that: http://www.podcastwds.com

Keeping all nine of my podcasts "in the air" is more difficult that I
thought. If you want me to address charisma more often, I'm very
responsive to requests. It's difficult to dredge up new ideas without a
lot of feedback ...so please help me out.

I discuss the dichotomous nature of charisma. I play part of an
audio tape from my 1999 Charisma & Power
program. I then talk about the missed opportunity., but...

I discuss a bit of inside information about the construction of
psychological tests. I offer a self-evaluation inventory, The Weisbrod C & P Index
(W-C&P). The questions are read to you during the latter half the
podcast show linked above.
The key for grading and evaluation this test is below. There is also a handy link for printing the key making hand copying unnecessary. Click the link and locate the browser's print link. The Weisbrod C&P

Grading
Instructions: It's very simple; find the number with your chosen
letter in one of the three columns below. If, for example, if you
checked 1A, find 1A in one of the three columns and circle it. You
should end up with (12) circled numbers spread throughout the three
columns. Total up the circled responses. Your evaluation will follow below. Click here for a printable copy of this form: >click< Use your back button to return.
Evaluation of The Weisbrod C&P Index ~ ~ ~
If the higher number is in
the middle column, this
indicates a moderate level
of charisma with plenty of room for development.~ ~ ~
If your
highest number is
in the column on the right side,
you might be a bit reclusive
and perhaps not a "people person." Anyone, however, can develop
charisma and the power that comes with it.~ ~ ~

Charisma & Power June 9, 2005 An excerpt from The Book Of Esoteric Whys (c) October 2002 Carl Weisbrod. ISBN: 0-9700264-6-3 Why Are So few People Charismatic? In
general, charisma is a term applied to someone who is noticeably more
attractive to a greater cross-section of people than would be
considered typical.
Carl
WeisbrodHave you ever noticed a rapid onset of charm from a politician over a comparatively short period of time? Would you like to know how candidates quickly progress from obnoxious to presidential? During every major election, I'm always interested in the latest methods the candidates choose for an infusion of charisma. These folks can afford the very best, and since your taxes pay for it, I'm sure you're interested in how these rapid transformations take place. In my e-zines, I offer a list of a couple of dozen articles on various topics, focusing on health topics. Of all the choices, the one on charisma is by far the most popular, and that's why it's included in this survey eBook. So lets get started. Do this... Let your mind drift back through time and space: Go to an actual moment that a casual acquaintance made a simple comment you liked so much that it remains a vivid memory. It's surprising that a comment that faded from the speaker's mind with the echo of the very words, would be something you would remember forever. Then guess the times your words have had such an impact on others. A lot? Occasionally? Seldom? In any case, we're talking about the essence of Charisma & Power. As a behavioral scientist, I class charisma as a trait rather than a human quality–and obviously not bestowed only on the worthy. Musical talent is a trait and offers a good comparison. A quality is something inherently human, which allowed survival in an environment that ancient hominid were faced with millions of years ago. The most obvious quality is our large problem-solving cerebral cortex. Another human quality is the dexterity of our unique opposing thumb and forefinger. A third quality is our bipedal, arms-free, long-distance endurance ability. Traits, on the other hand, are things like musical talent, intellectual ability, and charisma. In the extreme, charismatic people can seem almost irresistible. Charismatic people might be referred to as charming, alluring, fascinating, glamorous, and magnetic. Of course, you can look at some charismatic folks (such as comedian Don Rickels, king of the insult) who seem irresistible to millions of fans, and yet possess few of the usual charismatic traits. Many of the talk show hosts, of both radio and TV, have abrasive personalities, and yet seem to be irresistible to the large following they attract. So from that, we know that charismatic sub-traits are certainly not chiseled-in-stone. Used properly, charisma is one of the most powerful traits one can possess. On the other hand, like most things of value, it carries with it a price. Consider, for example, the loss of privacy experienced by charismatic movie stars. One of the basics for the formula is the charismatic attachment either won or lost is the first few seconds of an individual interaction with another. With groups, it's longer–perhaps developing in minutes during (for example) a speech. To become more charismatic, one must learn ways to adjust a mind set in the first couple of minutes of an initial conversation. If you lose that charismatic link in a first conversation, it's very difficult to get back. Are you wondering if I'm charismatic? Most often, charismatic people really enjoy groups of people and I'm a bit reclusive. I tend to be obsessed with work, and I don't like a lot of people getting too close. I really, however, love people as individuals. Even though I'm not that charismatic, you still might want to listen to me when it comes to learning about charisma and power. A big part of my life work involved hypnotizing people, both in groups and individually. I was fascinated with the process. Every person I hypnotized was a learning experience and over the years, I developed a habit of mentally debriefing after every session. I did my best to continually improve my technique over a period of some 30 years (I'm now in the teaching stage of my life). One of the things every hypnotist gets to experience is something called Natural Rapport. This is an observable state especially with subjects who experience a profound hypnotic state referred to as somnambulism. It's characterized by a wide-eyed, warm, unblinking stare fastened on the hypnotist. However, before you rush out and buy a "How To Hypnotize" book, let me tell you the difference between this hypnosis rapport and that from ones child or a lover: First, it's not sexual. Second, it's very temporary, and third, it's conditional. Let me expand a bit on these three things: Number one, it happens between a hypnotist and subject without regard to whether it's child to adult, man to women, women to man, man to man, or women to women. The gender of the hypnotist and subject is not relevant. Number two, it lasts only a few minutes from the time a hypnosis session is terminated and is related only to the process that went on during the induction--and nothing more. Number three: again it's based on the process of the induction. If the hypnotist tries to capitalize on this rapport state (for example, a seduction) the warmth could instantly change to hostility or fear. The major feature of Natural Rapport is its state of profound trust based on the hypnosis process right after it happens. But again, if that trust is violated in any way, rapport turns to hostility or fear. With experienced hypnotists, it's seldom violated. Even the stage hypnotist, who appears to make fools out of his or her subjects, learns how to function within the tacit approval of the volunteers. To make the show more entertaining, stage hypnotists have techniques to accomplish this in a way that is hidden from the audience. So a hypnotist possesses (without a doubt) profound charisma, but only during the time the hypnotizing process is happening. Many hypnotists are like me; they don't want to extend this trait into their day-to-day personality, and in fact feel uncomfortable with it. For this reason, narcissism is not a trait that the best hypnotists possess. Years back, a hypnotist's convention was a low-key affair–I understand that's starting to change, which may be unfortunate. So before you can even think of becoming a hypnotist, you certainly must understand some of the mechanics of human behavior–and the same is true for charisma. |
