A TRIBUTE TO CARL CARPENTER (2002)

I knew Carl for several years and learned a lot from him; most import was muscle testing for ideomotor response. He was a kind man who shared his knowledge with others and was a very good speaker, lecturer, presenter and therapist. He died in 2002. If anyone would like to write a tribute to Carl Carpenter, please send it to me. If you know would also like to know his birth date and death date. Send to pgdurbin@hotmail.com  I am including two articles from the International Medical and Dental Association A Subconsciously Speaking@ with IMDHA permission. Carl is "Gone but not Forgotten."

SOME HAZARDS IN HYPNOSIS: CARL CARPENTER: SUBCONSCIOUSLY SPEAKING: JUL/AUG 1997: VOL 12 NO 4 (died 2002): Carl Carpenter, R.C.Ht. had a client who couldn't decide whether she wanted to lose weight or stop smoking. She finally opted to stop smoking so he performed the stop smoking program for her. She went home, started a diet, and lost weight. Carl didn't think much of it at the time, her mind had made a voluntary decision, but other experiences of Carl 's kept bringing the memory back. What happens when we instruct a hypnotized client on the hazards of smoking and they keep smoking? Do they retain and react to the suggestions that suit them? Does this cause any problems itself? When we use hypnosis are we altering an already altered state?

One of the questions that we ask in the Hypno-Kinesiology program is, "Think of living." We find that people who have a hard time quitting the smoking habit will always respond negatively to this test. For some reason "living" isn't positive to their inner mind. This doesn't mean that this is a suicidal thought, just that at some time in their life they thought that they would be better off dead. These same people get overly anxious, irritable and/or put on weight when they try to stop smoking. The opposite of that is "Think of dying." This could be deceptive. If this tests affirmative, we usually ask, "Think of dying within five years." If this is positive it could indicate a stronger emotional problem.

This indicates that some misunderstanding in the inner mind has created a self destruct program. The strength of the original energy that created this program, usually trauma in the teen years, will determine how extreme the anxiety, irritation, and/or the weight gained. We further believe that more energy the hypnotist puts into forcing this person to change the habit, the more energy the inner mind will use to maintain it. A recent article in the Reader's Digest relates the story of a man who was recovering from a cancer operation, he states this idea better that we ever could. He stated that, "Smoking was committing suicide on the installment plan."

Back in the 1940s Dr. Wilhelm Reich stated that 90% of his cancer patients smoked, but he stated, just as assuredly, smoking did not create the cancer. It is our belief that it is the subconscious desire, to rid the body of undesirable parts, or not to live that causes disease. Unfortunately we are given many ways of accomplishing it, once learned it is easy to create.

We find that women who have vaginal infections, infertility, sexual dysfunctions and/or have had hysterectomies, always test negative when we ask, "Think of your reproductive (sexual) organs." There is some misunderstanding in the inner mind that wants to rid the body of that "dirty" area. Dr. Volne Matheson wrote about a client who couldn't understand or accept her sexuality so she created a cancer in that part of her body that was dirtying her. Two weeks after Carl heard the Matheson tapes he was asked to do a workshop in a northern New Hampshire town. The woman who organized this workshop had cancer of the vagina; she had been operated on twice, but the tests were positive again. The cancer was back. Carl was not made aware of this problem until months later. We never assume to heal so we never approach any specific illness with healing that illness in mind. We test for negative energies, erase them and hope that we have helped. A month later Carl received a letter from her stating, because she believed in him the cancer was gone. It had nothing to do with belief. He erased the self destructive misunderstanding in her mind, she healed herself.

We believe these misunderstandings are how disease is created, with the consent or demand of the inner program. A therapist recently stated, "For every disease, there is a positive emotional goal." We believe that this is true.

HYPNO-KINESIOLOGY: CARL CARPENTER: SUBCONSCIOUSLY SPEAKING: JAN FEB 2001: VOL 16 NO 1: This procedure is a working part of The First Step to building better lives. This short procedure is offered to all therapists, counselors, teachers and anyone else who wants a quick, efficient method of easing stress immediately on the spot without analysis or the trance state.

The following procedure may be used when a person exhibits anxiety, fear, and/or trauma. It could be the result of personal trauma; an accident, argument, disagreement at work or it could be recurring dreams and nightmares. This may be brought out while in trance. Especially when investigating past life experiences. Nothing needs to be said, simply perform the procedure as discretely as possible.

Try this: First ask a friend or relative if they can think of anything that upsets them. An argument, an accident, death, divorce, etc. Ask them to think of it in their mind. You don't need to know what it is. While they're thinking place your hand on their arm, shoulder or leg and start impressing and releasing your fingers one by one, back and forth. Practice it first. Put your hand on your forearm, impress the thumb, push gently downward, then lift the thumb and impress the first finger. Release it and impress the second finger. Release it and impress the third finger. Release it and impress the little finger. Release it and impress the third finger and continue until they tell you they don't hold the thought anymore. This gets rid of the energy of trauma that perpetuates stress and tension. It doesn't remove the memory but it will be more difficult to think of. You can use this for the release of emotional block to taking a test or the trauma of rape. Try it if this interests you may want to try the whole program.

For example: A woman came to me because of pain in her chest. Her doctor had suggested she try Hypnosis because he was sure it was in her head. When she came to me she said the pain was in her heart. (Her words.) I used muscle testing and found a negative block 8 years previous to her visit. She started to cry. When she started to tell me the story, I reached over and started running my hands up and down her arm. She showed no objection and continued with her story. Her 14 year old daughter had been accidentally shot and killed by her boyfriend 8 years previously. She couldn't look at a young teenage girl without breaking down. I asked her how she felt about the young man and she said she had forgiven him. When the story was over the tears were gone, the pain in her chest was gone, and she can now look at other teenage girls and smile. By running the hands back and forth up and down the arm I had anchored in and released the energy created by the trauma. It is that energy that keeps the fire of hate and anger alive.

A CHILD ABUSE STARTS AT CONCEPCION@ Trauma interferes with the normal growth of a child. Children are born every day who are angry, hyper-active, hypoactive, and/or scared. How do they get that way? Adopted and foster children often display these traits. I believe that this program explains the reason for this and also gives a solution.

A negative atmosphere at conception and before birth creates emotional weakness that puts a major strain on the immune system and perpetuates stress. Compounded by trauma in early childhood, this creates major emotional blocks. When we find and release that energy, automatic positive changes take place. The effect of these traumas is considered "accidental hypnosis" and we are reacting to it as if hypnotized. The program, , de-hypnotizes those affected. Then, and only then, can they grow and find inner peace, good health, and personal success.

I believe that if young children were given the benefit of this program they would have strong emotional and immune systems, this would reduce the chance of disease, and teen/adult violence, from drug abuse, to sexual abuses, to suicide.

The First Step program is designed to enable you to go directly to the source of a problem, erase its effect, and make positive changes without violating the privacy of the recipient of your concern. I think you'll find it fascinating.
