Melissa Gets Everything (Melissa kriegt alles)
by René Pollesch
F: I started reading a book the other day about a guy called Erickson, who was a psychotherapist in America, and did hypnosis. It describes different methods of hypnotising people, not just the classic way when you wave you fingers back and forth or a pendulum or whatever. Erickson says, you can simply tell someone something, and then something else that completely contradicts what you’ve said, and it’s enough to put someone into a trance. For example, if I talk about my life and say I’ m Hartz IV or something, and yet I’m still told I should buy organic food, to make sure there are happy chickens, right? And how am I supposed to do that? When I buy eggs, I am, of course – how shall I put it? – permanently in a trance. There are these organic eggs in your mind and then you just head straight for the cheap boxes at Rewe. That’s the way I feel I walk around in supermarkets.
