Page title: The Paret Method and Direct Fascination
Wikitext to translate:
In the Paret Method, fascination is practiced at different levels, with distinct techniques that reflect different historical roots and different applications. It is important to distinguish between:
The Ball of Light — technique derived from Di Pisa
The Ball of Light is a fascination technique developed from the teaching of Erminio Di Pisa, who taught hypnosis through TV and direct gaze. The Ball of Light uses a luminous point as an initial support for fascination — a technique akin to the Salamini Technique in the principle of using light as an anchor.
It is a powerful and refined technique, particularly suited for therapeutic work and deepening states. But it is not the pinnacle of fascination in the sense of Donato.
Direct fascination — Donato and Ghigi style technique
Marco Paret also practices **pure direct fascination** — gaze against gaze, without intermediaries, in the tradition of Donato and Otello Ghigi. This technique:
- Acts directly on the subject's gaze without external supports (neither light, nor object, nor passes)
- Produces the «ébranlement» — the sudden nervous jolt that bypasses conscious resistance
- Operates with eyes open, in full wakefulness, without any progressive induction
- Is the fastest and most direct method — 50% of subjects respond on the first attempt, all sensitive subjects over time
This distinction — fascination with support vs pure fascination — is fundamental to understanding the structure of the Paret Method.
The two levels of fascination in the Paret Method
As Marco Paret developed and documented in the Moréty/Paret text:
Simple fascination: immediate visual rapport, capture of attention, the first stage where the subject follows the operator's gaze. It is the entry point, accessible even in everyday contexts.
Experimental fascination: the deep state where the subject's personality partially dissolves into the operator, with hallucinations, personality modifications, anesthesia. This is the level Donato achieved in his great theatrical experiments.
The continuum: from light to pure gaze
In the ISI-CNV system, the techniques are placed on a continuum:
| Technique | Support | Tradition | Produced state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salamini Technique | External light + passes | Italian tradition (Salamini) | Fall + deep trance |
| Ball of Light | Luminous point | Di Pisa | Fascination + therapeutic deepening |
| Ghigi Fractionated Fascination | None | Ghigi → Paret | Progressive fascination with eyes open |
| Direct fascination Donato style | None | Donato → Paret | Immediate fascination, ébranlement |
