Don’t tell me it is “anti hypnosis”. It is hypnosis. I learned how to teach self hypnosis to use it as a doctor.
Hynosis has lots of magical stuff written about it, but it is a variation of “deep concentration”. It is the opposite to “falling asleep” which is what ordinary folks think is hypnosis.
This form of concentration has lots of variations: deep concentration while watching a film or reading a book or doing something creatives is the same mindset. Learning “transcendental meditation”, “mindfulness”, the prayer of quiet, the Jesus prayer are only a few ways that one can learn it.
and ten percent of those who do this can get deeply into a trance state and are very vulnerable to suggestion.
The faith healers or stage hypnotist can identify these folks because often they are already half into a trance watching the stage; call them up, and voila, instant miracle.
About ten percent of folks are not hypnotizable because they are a literal minded personality, and another ten percent can’t be hypnotized because of mental problems (drugs, alcohol, psychosis).
The rest of the folks are partially vulnerable, and with practice can go into a moderate to deep trance.
Can hypnosis “cure” cancer? There might be a rare case out there, but then I believe there are fifty certified miracles at Lourdes, so I’d spend my money there instead.
