An excellent piece of information, well written and we'll incorporate it into our curriculum
And there is one major thing we might add. With many police, in particular the FBI, it is a crime to lie to them - I believe the current Libby leak indictment is based on Libby lying to the FBI - it is even more important to say the magic words.
We provide education programs in Spanish Harlem - martial arts education along with programs in thought control and psychic self defense. (
www.peaceonthestreet.com) At Peace on the Street we take the advice to the next level - energy management and controlling the cop's mind - as part of our Ninja training.
1. When the participant says the magic words we teach him to use a light, very slight smile and project slightly pleasant to no energy. The hint of pleasantness helps the participant monitor his or her body language / attitude communication that will be the source of additional attention /aggression by the cop.
2. It is important for the participant not to have a passive state of mind. His/Her goal is to control the cop's mind. That means that the cop has lost interest and ideally feels mildly positive towards the detainee. What is especially desired is that the cop has turned his attention to others and has forgotten the participant entirely. If this is done properly the cop will have a difficult time remembering the participant's name or appearance after a few hours. The important point here is that the participant is not just passively putting up with being harassed by the police. The participant is engaged in an active project to control the cop's state of mind.
3. We teach that there are certain identification questions that are OK to answer, such as a name and address; again, simple one or two word answers, providing no energy in the exchange and maintaining a slightly pleasant demeanor. After that however the participant must avoid any additional conversation with the police. The participant is taught not to joke or engage in causal conversation even if it is obvious that the police are going to let him or her go. During the Middle Ages exorcists were told not to converse with the demons that they were exorcising. Any conversation - even if it does not go to the level of requiring the magic words only draws the participant into being controlled by the words and images of the opposition - and most importantly to experience the power that the police have in that moment. In this situation the police are not the participant's friend. They may be his or her friend when he or she speaks to police from a position of power - like being an elected official having a hearing on the departmental budget.
4. The Ninja approach is particularly easy if the participant holds his or her self in a state of meditative awareness. Communicating from this state makes the pleasant/ on message communication natural. Also holding that state will cause the cop to feel vaguely unsatisfied and motivated to find someone else to match the his or her aggressive, fear based energy. While learning how to hold oneself in this state of awareness takes some practice, it is not that hard and well worth the effort - particularly if the participant is an inner city male between the ages of 16 and 24.
