The question is:Do you believe the Bible? 2 Timothy 3:16 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: You did not answer my question :What is Hypnosis? Acts 19:13 I guess you didn't understand the question? What I mean is exorcists "also undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits". Unless you are "Jesus Whom Paul preaches", What is Hypnosis? Is it a variety of monotonous practices and rituals "ceremony" (church services) surrounding hypnosis, rather than hypnosis per se? Or do they claim to be Jesus? Hypnosis is a social interaction in which one person responds to suggestions given by another person the hypnotist for imaginative experiences involving changes in perception memory AND THE VOLUNTARY CONTROL OF ACTION. Hypnosis also may be self-induced, by trained relaxation, concentration on one's own breathing, or by a variety of monotonous practices and rituals that are found in many mystical, philosophical, and RELIGIOUS systems. After the person’s eyes are closed, further suggestions for various imaginative experiences are given. For example, individuals might be asked to extend their arms and imagine a heavy object pushing their hands and arms down or to hear a voice asking questions over a loudspeaker (OR A PREACHER SAYING shout HALLELUJAH!). Or, the hypnotist might suggest that when they open their eyes, they would not be able to see some object that has been placed in front of them. Posthypnotic suggestions may also be given for responses to occur after hypnosis has been terminated, including POSTHYPNOTIC AMNESIA, the inability to remember events and experiences that took place during hypnosis. It s possible that many clinical benefits of hypnosis are mediated by placebo-like motivational and expectational processes -- that is, with the "ceremony" (church services) surrounding hypnosis, rather than hypnosis per se.

Hypnosis also may be self-induced, by trained relaxation, concentration on one's own breathing, or by a variety of monotonous practices and rituals that are found in many mystical, philosophical, and religious systems. Most people can be easily hypnotized, but the depth of the trance varies widely. A profound trance is characterized by a forgetting of trance events and by an ability to respond automatically to posthypnotic suggestions that are not too anxiety-provoking. This effect potentially lends itself to medical and educational use, but it also lends itself to misinterpretation. Hypnosis, altered state of consciousness and heightened responsiveness to suggestion; it may be induced in normal persons by a variety of methods and has been used occasionally in medical and psychiatric treatment. Most frequently hypnosis is brought about through the actions of an operator, the hypnotist, who engages the attention of a subject and assigns certain tasks to him or her while uttering monotonous, repetitive verbal commands; such tasks may include muscle relaxation, eye fixation, and arm levitation. Hypnosis results in the gradual assumption by the subject of a state of consciousness in which attention is withdrawn from the outside world and is concentrated on mental, sensory, and physiological experiences. When a hypnotist induces a trance, a close relationship or rapport develops between operator and subject. The responses of subjects in the trance state, and the phenomena or behavior they manifest objectively, are the product of Hypnosis," Microsoft® Encarta® Online Encyclopedia 2004 http://encarta.msn.com © 1997-2004 Microsoft Corporation.

If not, I apologize, that is how I understood it. I do believe there are different kinds of hypnosis. I don't understand a lot about it personally. Yesterday I e-mailed you and I had someone that was capable of answering your questions. He is not here today, but if you would like further information, e-mail him at cscott@comcast.net.
