Who the hell is ISHI Hypnosis?

I keep statistics on who is reading the blog.

Now, don't worry about me knowing exactly who you are. I only get an IP address and a general location. I won't track down any of the many readers and commenters - unless you threaten anyone, anywhere with any kind of physical act.

You DO have the right to call someone a name here (like the "Witches of Ellsworth" or "Angela and Robin are a couple of dried up cunts" or even "Rev. Bill was a lying con artist". That is the First Amendment in action, like it or not and those statements were upheld as absolutely LEGAL by the Superior Court of the State of California.

As they have for years now, ISHI Hypnosis is holding classes for hypnosis training. And as it has been for years, those classes are being held at the SRF headquarters in Berkeley.

And as usual, the cost is some $2225.00 per person - with a 20% discount if you pay online with PayPal! That makes it only $1780.00 for your certificate (now think about it: if ISHI Hypnosis was indeed thriving as they claim, why offer up a 20% discount?).

I'd say it's worth the money, considering you can't possibly fail. You'll be certified, no question about it. I was. I missed half the questions. I took the final exam while sick and totally unable to see straight (kind of like that time in Tijuana on Spring Break. or was that Lake Havasu? or maybe the Padre Islands? hell, I don't remember . I was drunk, you know.)

I probably would have done no worse if I were drunk during my ISHI Hypnosis final exam. Come to think of it, I'd probably have a lot more fun if I was...

Anyway, whenever there is an ISHI Hypnosis training class, I usually see a huge bump in hits from people searching for ISHI Hypnosis.

But not lately.

Lately, there's been no Google's on ISHI Hypnosis. None. Nothing at all. In fact, there hasn't been many queries on ISHI Hypnosis since the beginning of the year.

I wonder what that is all about? Is there so little interest in ISHI that no one is looking? This blog is just a few slots below the ISHI home site. Maybe no one is bothering to look at this blog? Maybe no one can be bothered to look up the other side of the ISHI story?

Who knows?

All I know is: no one has come to this blog as a result of searching for ISHI. That does not necessarily mean no one is interested in ISHI Hypnosis. Nor does that mean no one is interested in what this blog has to say about ISHI Hypnosis.

I'm not exactly sure what that means just yet.

However, I can say that SRF thinks there is a huge relationship between what is written in this blog and the evaporating interest in ISHI Hypnosis.

In their FAILED complaint against me, SRF claimed five people called SRF to say they would not attend ISHI Hypnosis training because of the information they found in this blog. Again, there is no way to know how true this is. Legally, because they dropped their suit after I filed an anti-SLAPP motion, their claims are without merit and could be considered false (I am legally entitled to file a SLAPP-back suit against SRF for their false prosecution).

In a moral sense, you'd have to apply your own judgment to SRF's claim.

If you think their claim is true, that tells you the strength of the First Amendment and renews our faith in people - at least some of them were careful enough to check out the other side of the story and make up their own minds.

If you think their claim is false, well it is just another falsity in a long string of lies and distortions (and it takes some mighty big testicles - or a pea-sized brain, to make a false claim and send it to a JUDGE).

Anyhow, exposing those lies is why this blog exists.

So who is ISHI Hypnosis?

I have no idea. All I know is Robin Dumolin and Angela Silva scoop up the money. As a fictitious business name owned by the Spiritual Rights Foundation, ISHI Hypnosis IS the Spiritual Rights Foundation. And all the money paid to ISHI goes straight to SRF. In fact, I recall writing a check to SRF when paying for ISHI Hypnosis training. Does anyone else?

So, who the hell is ISHI Hypnosis?

Can anyone tell me?

What is it they do? How valuable is it? Who's taking the training and how many are taking it?

And why is it worth $2225.00 (or even worth the 20% discount)?

Oh, I know why: it's because you can get a certificate even if you fail the certification test. Gee, that's like getting a driver's license after taking the test drunk. I wish my college worked that way. I could have got a degree on Spring Break!
