The Milton model

While the Meta model involves being specific the Milton model is a vague language used in NLP with the aim of inducing the state of trance in someone by just talking to him. The state of trance is the state where people can be programmed directly by suggestions due to the absence of their conscious filters.

In hypnosis, people are allowed to relax in order to have their conscious filters silenced so that they can receive suggestions directly. Using the Milton model you can take someone into the state of trance by just using the language in a vague way.

Milton model examples

The Milton language involves lots of patterns and expressions. Since I cant mention them all in one article I will just give you some examples so that you can figure out how it works then you can even invent your own expressions. As you will see most of them depend on one concept, being vague so that you confuse the conscious mind of the receiver in order to get directly to his subconscious mind.

Using unspecified verbs:
“People can learn”
“It’s easier to do it”
Which people? What can they learn? What is easier? As you can see all of this ambiguity can induce trance because the conscious mind becomes so busy trying to figure them out.

Conjunctions :
“You are reading this article right now, sitting on the chair, understanding every word and you are going to buy my book.”

This one involves sending many suggestions that are real then sending the one you want to program the person with, usually when someone’s conscious filters allow many suggestions to pass the last one can escape unnoticed.

Conversational Postulates :
“Can you open the door?”
“Can you pay me tonight?”
Using can you instead of directly asking the question has a very good affect on the subconscious mind as it’s a more vague form of asking the same question.

Using or:
“Would you like to sleep at 9 pm or 9:30?”
Instead of telling your kid that he must sleep at 9:30 you give him two options that both lead to the same outcome. The correct question should have been, do you want to sleep at 9:30?

Negative Commands:
“I am not going to tell you to buy my book now”
Your subconscious mind filters out negative statements, so I am actually telling you to buy my book now

using “the more”:
“The more you resist the idea of buying my book the more you will find yourself wanting to buy it”
This one helps in breaking the conscious resistance of the other person

Using “As”:
“As you listen to me you are becoming more eager to buy my book”

Lost Performatives:
“its important to learn”
Who said its important? More ambiguity

Using Milton language

I could write a whole book covering all Milton expressions as there are much more examples of them, however, the most important thing is finding the right combination of vague words that can keep the persons conscious mind busy. If you did so then make sure that the person is now ready to recieve your suggestions directly into his subconcious.
