Above: Environmental incorporation. Given our inability to jack someone straight into the system, we have to contend with potential competition from any realities other than the one that is being deliberately constructed. In the use of hypnotherapy and deep visualisation exercises this is either done through elimination (i.e. closing eyes to shut out visuals, using a quiet environment, laying back to limit physical feedback etc) or through reframing and deliberately incorporating any additional content into the construct (the sound of rain as part of a scene, city sounds as part of a cityscape etc) so that it can be included as a component of the sense-making [‘The Matrix’ (1999) Warner Bros.].
