Joy Division Documentary - Ian's Past Regression Therapy 

I think Bernard was the only one who really understood Ian's dark side. Hooky and Steve both seem like the more upbeat fun loving guys but Ian and Bernard had their own demons weighing them down and probably connected on that level. Bernard endured some pretty heavy things in his own life, being raised in poverty by a single mother who suffered from Cerebral Palsy, so I wouldn't be surprised if he struggled with depression himself as a young man.

The sound of his speaking voice just gives me chills. It does something unexplainable to me. Especially at the end when he says his name.

"What's your name?" "Ian." God....I felt melting down.

you most definitely get the feeling that Bernard and Peter are really not comfortable talking about Ian. They miss their friend.

Listening to those voices on the tape recorder is very haunting

it will be 41 years on tuesday that we lost ian, i hope your at peace mate.

Thats really scary hearing Ians voice ... but lovley at the same time.. quite moving.. to..

So sad that Ian couldn’t get the help he needed to save his life....23 too young to die.

This is amazing! I listen to Shadowplay often, and I always think he is channeling something very deep and personal for him when he is singing. To me it sounds like he is holding himself back from crying in one part of the song. I thought to myself that maybe if he had done past life regression therapy, that it may have helped him, and here I found out today that he actually did, and yet it didn't help him. Although maybe if he had done it with a proper hypnotherapist in an extended session it may have actually helped him? I am a Buddhist and I strongly believe in past lives. Either way I suppose there is no point on dwelling on "what if's". Ian still lives on through his beautiful music and I think this is what is important at the end. One love.

Wow! i’ve been doing alot or research on past life regression lately and actually thought about Ian Curtis. This blows my mind!

This is so interesting and minimalistic..actually I think it is completely heartbreaking the way he pronounces his own name...like with some kind of regret.

Does anyone have the full movie which this video is from? I thought I had heard that Barney hypnotised Ian who then revealed he had been a 16th century French peasant on his deathbed. Does anyone have more clips of Ian being hypnotised? Or is this the only one?

that is so crazy! i just read about that in "torn apart, the life of ian curtis" really good book. R.I.P.Ian Curtis.

That's what i thought at first. I remember reading someweher that Ian was very impressed with Kafka's short story "In The Penal Colony" and he took the title for the song "Colony".

1:50 that sounds quite spooky

Odd that Bernard became able to hypnotize from reading a book. Seems like maybe they were into some deeper stuff.

weird one I noticed: Alesteir Crowley wrote the Book of Laws when he was 28!

I know this is blasphemous but does anyone see a resemblance between Caligula and Ian Curtis? They look very similar. Also, Caligula was involved in creating laws and died at 28. That's the same age Curtis says he was when under hypnosis. Gives me the chills when I heard him say that.

First thing that came to my mind was that, interestingly enough, Aleister Crowley wrote The Book of the Law when he was 28...

Bernard's voice in the tape is haunting ,it scares the hell out of me!jaja

Makes the hairs on back of ya neck stand on end, RIP Ian❤️

This is scary as fuck

What a terrible tragedy for both of them.

Jesus was reading about law at night when he was 28 after working as a carpenter all day. That was the first thing that came to mind

It’s strange hearing him, he had such a gentle speaking voice. He sounded very shy here. It makes me sad.

@fearlesssockpuppet I think that may be the only one. This clip came from the Joy Division Documentary

were can i find the documentary

He must of been thinking about the divorce... really interesting

He was Kafka reincarnated :p

So eerie. Which documentary is this from?

Poor lads, believing in that.

What's your name? " Ian "

How did Bernard even do the regression? Was he trained in hypnosis?

Well yeah, your memory is wiped when you incarnate into the Earth plane

Whats the documentary called?

płakłem

anyone know where this documentary is from?

This is the first thing I thought of... Hm...

Oh, so you take notes at night? Okay. Well thats all we needed to know: better wake up so we can go down the pub…

No Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980 around 8:00 am which is about the time he committed suicide. God has a way of expression anger towards us that's if you do believe in god.

its wierd thought because he was never 28

@TheChic92 HMV for a tenner.

pretty fukin eeri=

The Book of Laws are the books of the New testament. the Old Law is the Old Testament.

this is really sad. but why was he reading a book about laws lol. the therapist seemed so confused

@3LARI You'd be surprised how mental you are, mate.

:)

WAKE UP< BE FREE go bnack to sleep

Funny thing is when Jesus died god made the dead wake. When Ian Curtis killed himself God must have been so furious he caused Mount St. Helens to erupt.

I'm guessing your an atheist

Only thing they miss is attention and money!
