That is interesting because I've always heard you can't be made to harm yourself, for instance jump off a roof, while hypnotized.

I don't believe in hypnotism. If hypnotism was for real then what stops evil people from having people do bad things while under a spell. Things like everything from abuse to terrorism bombing. And when and why do spells wear off if you are separated from your master? It all has to be fake.

I have heard that when you’re hypnotized, you can’t be made to do something that is ingrained in you to be morally unacceptable. For instance, I would not be able to be hypnotized into killing anyone.

As far as hypnotism in general, I do believe there are those who are easily swayed by the power of suggestion. My mother swears that she was hypnotized at a night club many years ago into believing that she was watching a variety of movies that generated different emotions. She claims that she actually saw a cartoon, a snippet of a sad movie, and so on. My mother, God rest her soul, was easily influenced.

Guess What? If you’ve ever seen Thom Kaz perform, you will learn that his stuff is NOT FAKE! He has been able to help many people, besides being an entertainer, with hypnosis! Hypnosis is unbelievable and it really does work!!! Check out UTube. It’s amazing stuff! I’ve even seen him hypnotize people to help them relax for dental procedures, help people with eliminating stuttering problems and even improve the mental side of the golf game! Incredible!

i was at a sales meeting for a large software company a number of years ago. For one breakout session, they brought in a well known hypnotist.

There were about 600 people in the room. He had everyone do simple commands and he could tell right away who was under. He then brought about 8 of the zombies up on stage and had them do all very stupid things. I knew some of these people very well - they were not faking it!

my fellow exec mgt heard flack later, from many of us.

makes me wonder if that hypnotist could easily control people he had previously put under
