There is another feature of objects or ideas of collective attention. When people focus on something, that something will accumulate the energy, properties, traits and thoughts of those people.
Yoga, qigong, martial-arts teachers and instructors are very familiar with this effect. In order to "survive" the instructors must recover after each class. Usually they do much less than the pupils, but they become the centre of attention. The result is almost immediate - the flexibility worsens dramatically. The best yoga teachers transform the energy: they radiate positivity, absorb negativity and filth from the students, then heal themselves after trainings. This process makes the teachers stronger and more experienced, and helps the students to "clean up" and progress faster.
The amount of energy in a class is an average level of all participants. So, "the weakest link" (e.g. newcomers) gets more support, "the strongest link" (e.g. instructor) gives out more.
To rephrase, the "quality" of an egregor (a thought-form, an idea) will depend on the quality of the participants. A company of "bad guys" most likely won't do much good. One good guy most likely will be entrained by a crowd of bad guys.

Effects of a hypno-file depends on its interpretation by the so called SubConscious Mind (SCM). Nobody knows what it is, but let's safely assume, that information and energy pass through a system of internal filters and resonators of the hypnotee. Something resonates, something does not. If there is no resonator, the information will simply pass through without any effect. Like a radio wave - LW receiver will not notice SW FM stations.
Any prayer, mantra, curse, blessing, amulet, talisman, ritual, hypno-trigger has "something" associated with it. They can look like words, phrases, songs, objects, actions, and even might not carry any information besides the "address". They act as links or pointers to "something" with the actual information and energy. (Programmers should immediately understand what I mean 😉 )
In various practices the pointer is called "sigil" (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigil_(magic)), and that "something with information" is called "egregor" or "egregore" (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore).
Basically, to get to the particular energy and information stored in an egregor, you have to tune yourself to the same wavelength using a sigil.
Examples.
Simple:
o- Radio - obvious - you need to know the wavelength (sigil) of the radio station (egregor)
o- Access badge (sigil) to the company office (egregor)
o- Username/password (sigil) to computer or the Internet (egregor)
More complex:
Rituals, such as greetings and short meditation before any martial-art training in front of the club-attributes. Before the training you tune yourself and connect with the spirit of the dojo (training space) - in other words the club egregor, and with the egregor of the art (karate, judo, etc). Actually, the instructor (sensei) should create such an "atmosphere" that the students begin to understand "by themselves". Sensei connects students with the egregors. The egregor accumulates the knowledge over generations, leads the clubs, teaches the students, and receives energy in return.
BTW, Japan is a very egregor-oriented country. You will never get a direct answer. You have to understand it by yourself. If you can't connect to the corresponding egregors and get the answer - you'll be out of the country with nothing. Also, Japan has a culture of spirits (a spirit of a river, a spirit of a forest, a spirit of a tree, etc). In this context, spirits are egregors.
Mantras and prayers connect people with the corresponding egregors of religions.
Hypno-files contain a significant amount of information about their purposes. But if you just read the text, most likely it will not work. Hence, this information is not enough, something else is needed. Hypnotists either "create" an egregor per file or use an existing egregor (a concept). Inductions help hypnotees to concentrate (meditation and trance is a state of high concentration) and fine tune to the concept in the body of the hypnosis, that connects hypnotees to corresponding egregors. This process can also be called a ritual.
The more "specific" the egregor (think of a complex scenario), the longer it takes to tune to it and make the hypnosis "work". Several "rituals" might be needed for this multi-frequency fine tuning. To shorten the subsequent "connection" time, hypnotic triggers are used. They act as sigils.
Sounds like "black magic", doesn't it? 😉 But it's no different than our society. The global principles are the same. Everything is based on egregors, rituals, sigils, servitors, etc. We are born as bio-robots with empty memory. Our parents tune us to various egregors (mankind egregor, family egregor, society egregor, nationality, country, city, etc) and help us to create our reality. Then schools takeover, etc. Kind of an extended hypno-session 😉
Magic? The forming of the reality and making a sentient self-aware person from a piece of meat? Yes, absolutely. But the "colour of magic" is a product of a human mind, according to the experience. Bad experience - black magic, good experience - white magic 😁 But again, the principles are the same, the intentions can be different though.
The more people "connect" to the egregor, the more powerful it gets. At the same time, the egregor takes the information from the "donors", that would allow it to evolve and get/hook more people to get more energy. For example, if after a nice trance you begin to tell everybody about "that cool file", this is exactly how it works. The egregor gave you its energy and information, but also "injected" the idea to share the knowledge, what will allow the egregor to get more energy in the future.
If most of the people has "dirty thoughts" (info with specific frequencies), the egregor will accumulate and radiate the same "dirty thoughts" to get more such donors and change the existing ones accordingly, even if they are "white and fluffy".
Think of Bambi. Thousands use the same Bambi-egregor. Their ideas are to get dumb, suck cock, dress slutty and fap. Sexual energy is very powerful, so becomes the egregor receiving it. And it becomes easier for the egregor to get "newcomers" hooked. With time and enough hype, the Bimbo hypnosis will become even more effective than it is now, what means faster and more effective degradation and corruption. Avoid Bambi!
TL;DR: Hypnotic effects depend on the averaged "traits" of people trancing to the file.
