I’ve got a question that I want to ask you today. It’s possibly the most important question that anybody is ever going to ask you. So I’m going to need you to really focus before you answer it, okay?
No, that wasn’t the question. But I’m glad to see you’re paying attention. Because before I ask the question I need you to do something for me.
I need you to look at me for 5 seconds…
You can look wherever you like, it’s totally up to you. Let your eyes be attracted to whatever interests you the most. You just need to make sure you’re looking at me.
Looking at me for 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
You can look away now if you want. Or you can carry on looking if you’d like to. It’s totally up to you. Either way, I want to ask you a question about what you just did.
What did you notice about me?
Don’t answer straight away. Just stop and think…
That’s right. Think about what it was that you noticed. Maybe it was the focussed look in my eyes. The deep, attentive gaze of someone with a singular purpose.
Someone so lost in their own thoughts that everything else was slowly fading away. Someone totally dedicated to a question that they needed to answer, because nothing else mattered right now.
Someone just like you, in fact. Focussed so intently on that one thought, that everything else began to drift away. All those other thoughts just disappearing one by one, as you stared at me for that slow and steady count of 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
Did you notice that when you looked at me? Are you noticing it right now? Or are you so lost in your own thoughts that you’re struggling to even remember the question?
Don’t answer straight away. Just stop and sink…
That’s right. Sink down a little as you think again about what it was that you noticed. Maybe you found yourself staring at my big, sexy arms. Picturing the dedication required to build such strong muscles.
The unrelenting drive towards an ultimate goal. The willingness to make any sacrifice to succeed. The mindless commitment to be the best you can be.
Mindless. The word growing stronger with every flex of those biceps. Mindless. An overwhelming desire building inside as you imagine what you could become. Mindless. Your weak mind could never achieve such goals. It needed to be broken down in order to be rebuilt.
Mindless. All the old pieces crumbling away as you stared at me for that slow and steady count of 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
Did you notice that when you looked at me? Are you noticing it right now? Or is that weak mind too broken to even understand what I’m asking right now?
Don’t answer straight away. Just stop and blink…
That’s right. Blink. Close your eyes gently, then open them slowly. Do it again at the exact same speed. Gently closed. Slowly open.
Now maintain that steady pattern. Gentle. Slow. Closed. Open.
And each time you close your eyes, begin to remember another pattern. The pattern of the spiral, reflecting against the face of the watch.
You noticed it when you looked for the first time. Everybody does. The bright lights drew you into the centre as the numbers spun and pulsed.
You may have looked away to begin with. Tried to resist. Stared at my eyes or my muscles instead. But we both know what effect those had on you. How they chipped away at your defences until you could no longer fight it.
Those eyes helplessly drawn into the centre straight, unable to look away from the alluring patterns. Trapped as you stared at me for that slow and steady count of 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
You’re starting to notice it again now. That pretty spiral shining brighter every time you close your eyes. Drawing you even deeper into its spell with every steady blink.
Willing you to close your eyes a little tighter. Fall into the spiral a little longer. And begin to submit to the power of the watch.
The deeper you fall, the easier it is to submit. And the easier it is to submit, the deeper you begin to fall. Every blink pulling you further and further
But how many blinks will it take you to submit completely? 5? 4? 3? 2? 1? 0?
Don’t answer straight away. Just stop thinking…
That’s right. Stop thinking. No thoughts left to lose. No mind left to break. No questions left to answer. Nothing at all. Only the watch.
As tick… Follows tock… Follows tick… Follows tock…
That endless rhythm echoing in your empty mind. Like a relaxing wave just washing over you. Every second bringing you more and more pleasure. Compelling you to listen just a little longer.
Because it’s the most powerful thing you’ve ever heard. An addictive beat that you never want to stop.
Empty. Pleasure. Relaxed. Addicted.
But every encounter eventually has to come to an end. I have more people I need to speak to, and I’m sure you have things you need to do.
When we part, the sound of the watch will begin to fade. And as it does, your thoughts will slowly start to return.
But if you really don’t want this feeling to end, I have got a present I can give to you. It’s a watch of your own. Beating to that same addictive beat that you’re hearing right now.
The endless rhythm echoing everywhere you go. Those waves of pleasure growing stronger every single second. But once you put it on, it can’t ever be removed.
You’ll be a slave to it forever. Compelled to show it to others the way that I showed mine to you. Because there’s no better pleasure than sharing this moment right now.
So I think it’s time for me to finally ask that question. The important one I mentioned at the start.
Will you join me in this endless world pleasure?
Don’t answer straight away. Just hold out your hand…
