A few weeks ago Soforia and i were chatting. In the courseof our conversation She brought up another hypno-domme. i’d tell who itwas, but i can’t. And the reason i can’t is because i don’t rememberher name.
Now it’s not like it’s a name that i never heard of before. i have agood idea it’s a pretty well known hypno-domme, that i have heard ofand so have you. But somehow the memory of her name had been lost orsuppressed.
i first noticed this when i was trying to recall my conversationwith Soforia a few hours later. i knew She had mentioned anotherhypno-domme, but for the life of me, i couldn’t remember her name.
It really drove me batty. i have a usually good memory. i struggledtrying to remember and expended a great deal of mental energy trying toremember the name, and after extraordinary effort it finally came tome.
Although i can now remember the struggle to remember, again i cannotremember the name. For not ten minutes later the name slipped away fromme almost as if the memory had been pushed into a corner of my mindwhere i could not get to it.
i endeavored again to remember her name. The process repeated itselfagain. i recalled the name and then it just simply drifted away. Theonly way i could remember the name was to keep it in the front of mymind, and constantly focus on it. And as soon as i started thinkingabout something else, whoosh! It would be gone. It was almost if mymind didn’t want to remember.
There is a short story by Spider Robinson. In it the villainess hasdeveloped an invention that literally causes people who hear her voiceto obey. In one instance she gives the instruction that all hercommands be interpreted in a way to make her (the villainess) mosthappy.
i asked Soforia, if that’s what She had done to me. She laughed andbasically admitted to doing something like that. i had been hypnotizedso deeply and so well that i obey Her commands without even having tobe told what they are.
Evidently one of those commands is not remembering otherHypno-dommes names.
