Normally the term emotional control is used to express the idea of repression of all emotions. In the context of this blog it refers to the ability to feel any emotion at any time and place. We have all been designed to leak our emotions through our body language and gestures etc. We have also been designed for our emotional state to become in sync with those around us. Generally, the way this developed is that those who behaved according to these premises found it easier to get along with the group and were more likely to survive and reproduce. As an example of how this skill could be useful is a seduction technique being taught in the dating and pickup community. The dating and pickup community is a group of on-line vendors telling how to get along with and seduce women. The technique involves when the couple is at a location where sex could happen for the man to display an amplified version of the emotions of arouse and lust. Since the woman will like fall into sync with these emotions the seduction will happen. So how does an individual train himself to feel an amplified version of an emotion. By using NLP, and mental imagery. NLP refers to Natural Language Programming. Which can easily be a subject all by itself. To understand the idea is to realize NLP and hypnosis have a common bases or root. The first step of course is to recall a situation or emotional trigger that will cause you to feel that emotion. Then imagine that the emotion is dirt etc. and you are just bearing yourself in it. Or there is an ocean of this emotion and you are going swimming in it. The basic idea is to picture in your mind a thing to represent this emotion and then multiple this thing. Or put it in a picture and enlarge the picture so it is so big you are completely inside it. It will take some time to learn how to feel an emotion. In my youth I was in some very scary situation and I just had to endure it. The way I dealt with that was to turn off my emotions. Eventually this became a habit so then I could no long feel any emotions even if I wanted to. I had to overcome this habit and the way I did it was to train myself to feel various emotions. When I am dealing with a woman either in person or on-line, I feel it is important that I feel the proper emotion. Remember women are experts at detecting your emotional state. So do not try to fake it but feel it. An emotion I think they like you to be feeling is empathy. So, I try to be in a state of strong empathy during these interactions. By doing this I do not have to worry about my body language or word choice I use in a message. It will all happen automatically by putting yourself in the proper emotional state.
For the men, another time emotional control can be useful is during day game. That is, you see an attractive woman that you would like to meet and you are outdoors and she has no idea you even exist. In this interaction what is communicated has more to do will your though process and emotions than the actual words spoken. The idea is to use the concept of emotional control to let the good emotions of confidence drive out the bad emotions of fear. While you may not succeed by displaying the proper emotion you increased the likelihood of success.
Now that you have learned the principles of emotional control as I have defined it, there are two situations where it may be useful. The first I want to discuss is the detection of a psychopath. A psychopath is defined as a person who has been born with a defect in that he does not feel emotion. A since he does not feel emotion and everyone else around him does, he is forced to simulate feeling them. However, his simulation of the emotion will always be a little off. Since you have trained yourself to actual feel the emotions you will be better able to detect feeling of the real emotion through body language etc. So, if you ever feel the person you are with is simulating feeling of emotion without feeling them, run the nearest exit.
The second situation in which the principle of emotional control as I have defined it may be useful is in avoiding being a victim of a demigod etc. If you hear a speech in which the speaker is conveying emotional content more than logic arguments realize you are venerable to this type of manipulation and just walk away.
