Extended Quotes tend to create confusion in the listener almost immediately, and
is where you essentially begin talking about someone [Person #1], and then share
with the listener that this person [Person #1] said something that she [Person #1]
had heard from someone [Person #2] and that he [Person #2] had heard
something from someone [Person #3] who had said “<insert command here>”.
Because of all this jumping through one person to the next, the mind typically
loses track of who said what, and because the mind has lost track of who’s saying what, it becomes confused, sends the listener into a trance-like state and ends up making them much more likely to accept the suggestions given in (insert
command). You can also say whatever you want to the listener, because it isn’t
you saying it, it’s someone who’s in a third party who’s saying it.
Confused? Here’s a quick example of an Extended Quote…
I met John down at the store and while he was down there he ran into Suzy, and
Suzy had heard from over the hill that someone shared with her that when they
last say John he said, “Love yourself regardless of what your body looks like.”
Another example might be…
Not that long ago I was speaking with my good friend Jane down at the lake, and
Jane said that while she was at home baking bread, that she got a phone call from Julia, and Julia said to her on the phone that Jan had just arrived into town and was out finding a dress for her friends party and while Jan was searching she said,
“It’s not about the size or shape of your body that matters, it’s about how you
feel about the size or shape of your body.”
